Chapter 420: Light Magician

"Black Horse Island has become my territory, where development and construction can proceed openly, while Flower Town is merely leased land... Although the Tulip family will not reclaim it, the industries that need to be relocated should still be moved, to align with future plans for the territory."

Liszt always has grand visions: "Currently, Black Horse Island is only planning one new town, Port Town, but it is planned as a port city and will become the central city of Black Horse Island in the future; of course, if Flower Town can develop, I don't mind building it into a trade city."

"If Flower Town only handles trade business, then there is no need to vigorously develop agriculture here," Gort followed Liszt's tone.

Isaiah added: "Workshops for raw material production should also be moved to Black Horse Island, and livestock, cattle, and horses should be relocated to Black Horse Island."

Zanbuluota said: "Considering the agricultural planning of Black Horse Island, Flower Town should still retain some daily planting and breeding, and some basic foreign trade raw material production, placing it in Flower Town can save on shipping costs." The former noble, who used to be idealistic, has now become much more pragmatic.

"Then, quickly draft a plan for the industrial transfer for me, I need to see it completed within three days," Liszt set a time requirement, "Additionally, I will appoint a batch of new officials to serve in Port Town on Black Horse Island... You can choose to stay or go to Port Town."

Then, he added: "The choice is yours, I do not insist."

Although he did not insist, any follower with a bit of sense naturally knew that serving in Port Town would lead to more significant responsibilities.

So, without much hesitation, they were all willing to serve in Port Town on Black Horse Island.

"In that case, Advisor Gort will step down from his position as advisor in Flower Town and go to Black Horse Island to serve as advisor in Port Town; Financial Officer Blair will be transferred to Port Town to serve as a government official; Isaiah will continue to serve in Flower Town and take on advisory duties; Zanbuluota will also stay in Flower Town, but will also serve as a diplomat for Black Horse Island..."

Lords usually reserve advisory positions for noble followers.

In Flower Town, apart from Liszt, only Gort is a knight with a title, hence, his transfer to Port Town as an advisor leaves no one to take up the advisory role in Flower Town.

Government official Isaiah can at most take on advisory duties, but cannot directly serve as an advisor.

However, as long as he works hard, he will eventually be awarded the title of knight by Liszt, completing the transformation from commoner to noble—though it may take a long time, as earning a title through other merits is much more difficult than through military achievements.

...

In the evening, during free time, Liszt originally planned to read some magic books he hadn't had time to look at, but Parris came to find him.

"Viscount, I have some issues I would like to ask for your help with."

"Please speak," Liszt sat by the apple table under the apple tree, rocking in the rocking chair, enjoying the evening breeze that dispelled the day's heat.

A cup of clear green tea was placed on the table.

"Mana practice has failed, I cannot resist the erosion of the light dragon's magic power within me, so I followed your advice and started to consult Cris about magic."

Parris said with some distress: "I unexpectedly found that my meditation on magic is very successful, especially with light attribute magic power, which I have a very high affinity for. But Cris only knows one light magic, Flash, which I have already learned, and there is nothing more to learn after that."

"So you want me to help you find some light magic?"

"Yes, among the people I know, only the Viscount has the ability to help me," Parris said frankly.

Liszt sat up, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the already cooled tea, and said: "Light magic is indeed very hard to find, but don't worry, I will quickly find some light magic casting methods for you... So, are you planning to switch to being a light magician?"

"I hope to switch successfully, I vaguely feel that once I can control the light dragon's magic power within me with magic, then the erosion of my body by the light dragon's magic power will greatly decrease, maybe I can live longer."

"This is really exciting news, Parris," Liszt said with a sincere expression, holding his fist, "No matter what, I will help you switch to being a light magician, to overcome the erosion of the light dragon's magic power, and have free time to enjoy life like a normal person."

"Thank you."

"Do we need to say thank you between us," Liszt smiled.

Parris and Liszt exchanged a glance, then a blush flew across Parris's face, and she unnaturally turned her head away: "Then everything is entrusted to the Viscount, I... have other matters, I will take my leave now."

She had already left.

Liszt was still reminiscing about the charming moment when Parris turned her head.

It must be said, this female black dragon's companion possesses a captivating grace. However, his feelings for Parris are limited to admiration, without seeking anything beyond, respecting each other's spiritual independence. Often, this creates a bond akin to close friendship.

Perhaps it can be called an intimate friend.

As for how future emotions might change, he is not very clear, nor does he have much direction—in fact, apart from the clear goal of riding a dragon, he remains uncertain about his true desires.

Especially in matters of the heart, he tends to drift along.

He has had fleeting infatuations.

Athena Salmon's confession nearly overwhelmed him; Duniko Hyacinth brought him a passionate night, spurring him to consider settling down; Ronasa Golden Wheat's tender kisses and late-night invitations left him torn between hesitation and regret.

The beauty and flawlessness of the mermaid Acheronides ignited an endless desire to protect and claim her; Parris's free-spiritedness and occasional silliness often led to shared smiles of understanding.

But none of these were the kind of passionate, all-encompassing love he imagined.

He never found "the one after a single glance," nor did he experience any dramatic or life-altering romance, so sometimes Liszt would ask himself: "Apart from myself, would I fall in love with someone else?"

There was no answer.

He summoned the servants for paper, a pen, and sealing resin, laid out the paper, and wrote a letter, the gist of which was: "Elkson, contact your magician friends and help me acquire light magic spells. Ten gold coins for a common light magic spell, forty gold coins for a light magic spell that only a great magician can master."

Flash and invisibility spells were excluded, as Parris had already learned them.

After finishing the letter, he melted the resin, poured it onto the envelope's seal, and while it was still wet, took out a newly carved seal and stamped it firmly into the resin.

It bore the "Liszt" serpent tongue mark.

He called for the squire knight Xavier and handed him the envelope: "Go to Coral City and find Elkson, deliver this letter to him."

Xavier, who was good at flattery, was now Liszt's top confidant among the squire knights. Upon hearing this, he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, my lord!"

The squire knight left.

Liszt lay back in the rocking chair, gazing at the fiery clouds on the horizon, his brow slightly raised: "Water magician Acheronides... light magician Parris... human magician Cris... how many more magicians can I gather?"
