Chapter 404: Personal Magic Consultant

"Then..."

Liszt hesitated for a moment, originally planning to gradually get familiar before asking about the keel-setting technique, but then he thought that the other party was just a remnant soul in his hand, so why bother with such complexity.

Therefore.

He paused and directly said, "Can you hand over the keel-setting technique to me?"

Virginia paused briefly: "Yes... but, Liszt, hasn't the keel-setting technique been promoted over the past hundred years? I remember that my family had already exchanged technology with the Sapphire Family back then. We obtained the three-masted shipbuilding technique, and the Sapphire Family obtained the keel-setting technique."

"Was there a technology exchange?" Liszt was somewhat surprised by her straightforwardness, "I'm not entirely sure, I know little about the shipbuilding technique mastered by the Sapphire Family, but I hope to have my own technology reserves to build dragon beast ships in the future. Thank you for giving me the keel-setting technique."

"It's nothing, I should be the one thanking you for freeing me from my descent, allowing me a moment of freedom... It's just a pity, things have changed, the Magic Goat family has disappeared for over a hundred years."

"What are your plans next?"

"I... don't know."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, the magician, a figure of smoke and light, with vivid expressions showing confusion.

For the memories she possessed, she had just been killed by Curtis, her thoughts still in the era of over a hundred years ago; but the reality was that the Magic Goat family had vanished, and she had become a lonely remnant soul. In this world, none of the people she knew existed anymore.

The strong contrast left her confused and at a loss.

Liszt also didn't know how to comfort her, he inquired, "What does it feel like to live in a soul container?" preparing to shift the conversation to a more research-oriented tone to ease the awkwardness.

Just as he wanted to know what kind of situation Virginia, existing in a soul state, was in.

The independent existence of a soul, in Liszt's view before crossing over, was absolutely impossible, but now he had to accept this reality, expanding his knowledge base.

The physical rules of this world are very different from those of Earth.

Virginia woke from her confusion, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's like falling asleep, with dreams flitting by, but upon waking, I can't recall any of them."

This state, Liszt could not experience, but he basically understood.

It's probably entering a state similar to "hibernation."

He then asked, "So, in your current soul state, how long can you stay outside?"

"Probably just a little longer, I haven't felt tired yet."

"Then, for now, you can be my personal magic consultant, I'll keep you by my side, and when there's a chance, you can see the outside world... You have plenty of time to think about your next life, after all, you might exist in this way for a long time."

"I understand." Virginia did not refuse, "Thank you, Liszt."

Liszt smiled slightly, then asked, "So, in this state, can you touch real objects, like this book, can you open it?"

Virginia was currently floating above the desk, she bent down to look at this knight novel titled "The Mad Sword Saint Shamart Sunflower."

Slowly reaching out, she tried to touch the book.

However, her hand could not truly touch the entity: "I... can't seem to do it."

"Using your mental power?" Liszt suggested, he remembered that ghosts could attack people, since they could attack humans, it means they still have the ability to touch entities.

Moreover, whether it's the lich Curtis Truth or the lich Andy Sapphire, both are in similar soul forms, yet they can manipulate physical objects.

He didn't know the difference between Virginia's current state and the lich state, and why her soul could exist while other dead people's souls could not. These are all part of his future research topics, if he has the time, energy, and strength, he will figure it all out.

Following Liszt's suggestion,

Virginia began to use her mental power to try to flip through the pages of the book. Magicians always train their mental power, which may not necessarily give them a significant advantage over knights, since knights also hone their minds to control mana flow daily. However, compared to ordinary people, magicians possess very strong mental power.

At first,

Virginia stared at the knight novel for a while, but it didn't budge. However, as Virginia's body began to glow, the knight novel flipped from beginning to end like pages caught in a strong wind, and several other knight novels on the table also flipped through their pages.

But this only lasted less than ten seconds before the power disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Virginia looked exhausted, panting as she said, "Lord Liszt, I feel very tired, I can't hold on much longer."

"You need to train your mental control. Once you do, you should be able to move objects with your mind," Liszt commented, then said, "Since you're tired, go rest in the soul jar... By the way, can you come out of the soul jar by yourself?"

"I don't think I can. Once inside, it's like I'm asleep and can't do anything."

"Hmm."

Watching Virginia turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear into the soul jar, Liszt was very satisfied with the effect of this special magic equipment, especially the feature that the soul cannot come out on its own.

He stored it in his gem space.

The banquet then began.

...

The banquet was quite lively.

In the dining room on the first floor, town officials, members of the knight squad, Parris, and Cris all attended. Just like at Tulip Castle, they first mourned the two fallen Earth Knights, then moved on to toasting and boasting.

The members of the knight squad who participated in the battle were all enthusiastically boasting about their performances on the battlefield, such as skewering four enemies with a spear, killing an elite Earth Knight with a backhand spear thrust, breaking a long sword and beheading an enemy, or shooting an enemy in the throat amidst chaos.

Of course, while these Earth Knights boasted about themselves, they did not forget to flatter and praise Liszt's battlefield performance.

"Your lordship is invincible!"

"Your lordship rode a landstrider, leading the blizzard beasts, and no one dared to stand in your way during the charge."

"Like a beam of light, your lordship guided us forward!"

Liszt sipped his beer lightly, not saying much. He never liked to be too active at banquets. At Tulip Castle, many nobles kept toasting, making it hard not to respond. Here, he was the only lord, and the others were followers, so he could reduce the number of drinks.

Or, like most leaders, just take a small sip.

The banquet lasted until eleven at night before it ended. After the event, Liszt informed the housekeeper Carter and then left the castle directly, heading towards the seaside.

He planned to find the mermaid Acheronides to help her solve a magic problem, complete the smoke mission, and obtain the reward.
