Chapter 416: Water Wave Shield Under the Moonlight

Why a great spirit bug weaponry is called the Wailing Prison Sword is unknown.

But its value is undoubtedly immense, as it requires the blood of a great spirit bug to soak, even if it's an enemy's or an elderly one, its value remains exorbitant.

Below the great spirit bug weapons are the dragon bone weapons, made from the bones of dragons. Liszt suspects that the Marquis's blue-flaming great sword is a dragon bone weapon. Coincidentally, the left foreleg of the Sapphire dragon was broken off, and much of its power was stolen by the Marquis.

The clues match.

Next are the small spirit bug weapons, followed by gem weapons, and then magic equipment. The value of magic equipment varies based on the materials used. If crafted from materials of high-level or even super blizzard beasts, their value could rival that of dragon bone weapons.

Above the great spirit bug weapons, the most likely existing weapons are dragon tooth weapons and dragon spirit weapons, and now, with the information from Elkson, dragon spirit weapons.

"Perhaps in the future, even 'Spirit King weapons' will appear and become legends," Liszt thought.

The Spirit King is evolved from a dragon spirit bug, existing only in legends, with no one knowing its appearance, abilities, or value. But it could become real; if it exists, it could be killed, bled, and used to soak weapons.

He even thought, "Using dragon teeth as the main material for a weapon, infusing it with a dragon's soul, and soaking it in the blood of a Spirit King, could it become the supreme and only divine artifact? I truly hope to one day forge such a unique divine artifact, to ride a dragon and gallop across the continent, exploring this world."

In this world filled with magic, there are countless hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Of course, Liszt is still very weak now, his activities are limited to a few islands, and he must develop step by step, keeping his feet on the ground.

One day, his dreams will come true.

...

Bathed in the glow of crystal lamps, the study shines brightly.

Liszt cuts open the covers of magic books one by one. If cutting open a hundred book covers could earn him the bronze-level achievement "Cover-Cutting Maniac," he might already be a gold-level "Cover-Cutting Maniac."

"Nothing."

"Nothing."

"Nothing..."

"Alright, in this batch of magic books, there's no discovery of mana secret techniques. I can now sleep peacefully." Liszt stacks the books, planning to sort them tomorrow into story-type and research-type, keeping the story-type and sending the research-type directly to Cris and Acheronides. "I wonder what they'll think upon seeing the cut covers."

He leaves the study.

He has the servants prepare a bath, takes a quick bath, and then returns to his bedroom to sleep.

However, just as he falls asleep, far away at Black Pearl Lake, on the ring reef exposed at low tide, a huge white shell slowly emerges from the water.

Under the moonlight.

The white shell slowly parts, revealing the figure of a girl gradually unfolding, lifted by the seawater inside the shell, quickly floating above the sea surface.

Facing away from the moon, silently hovering in mid-air.

A clear voice breaks the tranquility of the night at Black Pearl Lake: "Through meditation, connect with the magic power, use magic to build a bridge, where the bridge extends is the passage, surrounded and clustered by countless runes, that is where magic lies!"

The girl slowly raises her left hand.

Her fingers spread, a faint blue light gathers at her fingertips, forming a shield-like fold the size of a bowl. The fold slowly expands outward in the form of ripples, forming a larger arc.

The faint blue light, along with the moonlight, illuminates the girl's face, revealing her to be Acheronides, the sea mermaid. At this moment, Acheronides's face is full of piety, her eyes are exceptionally firm and serious, with beads of sweat on her forehead, indicating great effort.

"Let the magic boil within, constrained by runes into a magic circle, where magic is born."

"Acheronides will definitely succeed!" The mermaid clenched her teeth, straining to release her magic. "Brother is really hoping Acheronides becomes a great water magician. Acheronides must not disappoint him... In the name of Acheronides·Truth, water magic, Water Wave Shield, come forth!"

Sploosh!

The seawater around the shell quivered, splashing countless waves. With Acheronides' final, clear shout, the arc of water wave light in front of her suddenly expanded, bending and extending to the left and right, finally closing to form an egg-shaped sphere of light, enveloping her.

"Ah!"

Acheronides gasped in surprise, then beamed with joy: "I did it, the water magic, Water Wave Shield, that only a great magician can master! Hehe, I've finally overcome the cognitive barriers of magicians, gained a deep understanding of the magic array, and been promoted to a great water magician!"

She then sank from the surface into the depths, with the Water Wave Shield still surrounding her.

Without needing much magic power to maintain it, the light shell could last until the magic array supporting it collapsed, which would be about half an hour.

Swimming swiftly and renewing the Water Wave Shield once along the way, she made her way back to the seaside villa, still shielded.

She was eager to share the good news with Liszt, but glancing at the dark sky, she realized it was already late: "Oh no, I can't share this joy with brother, how frustrating."

...

Early the next morning.

After Liszt finished walking the dog, Brad was already waiting in the castle: "Lord, what can I do for you?"

"I heard you've had some free time lately, so I have a task for you. I need a set of exquisite crystal tableware carved to highlight the nobility of the viscount. I will have Mr. Carter bring out the castle's crystal tableware for your reference. Ensure this new set is carved to perfection."

"Yes, Lord." Despite his inner complaints, Brad respectfully accepted his new task in front of Liszt.

The work that troubled Brad was thus easily resolved.

This set of crystal tableware would take him about a month to carve, and after a month, with the mining of volcanic glass, his work would become even busier.

After sending Brad away, Liszt directly summoned the smoke mission.

"Complete the mission, reward: mutated grain variety, corn grass."

"Mutated grain variety, so it has become corn cobs?" Liszt expressed surprise, then instructed a servant to inform the administrative officer Isaiah in the office to halt the harvesting of corn grass.

After he returns from Tulip Castle and receives Meopo, he will personally find the corn cobs and arrange for their cultivation.

To provide a new food source for the territory.

At this moment, he looked at the next smoke mission: "Mission: As a lord, it's essential to maintain your dignity, but to achieve leapfrog development, you must put in effort. Please carefully consider the positioning of Flower Town and make an industrial transfer plan. Reward: mutated variety corn grass."

"Hmm?"

"Still the mutated variety corn grass?"
