Chapter 571: Sun Script Task Handover

Is Advanced Magic Beast meat tasty? Actually, no, at least the texture leaves something to be desired.

"The meat's a bit tough, not great," Liszt was quite dissatisfied. The Shoebill Stork, as an Advanced Magic Beast, is indeed rich in nutrients. Eating it makes one feel a surge of heat, with magic power continuously fueling mana and generating spiritual energy. However, the texture is not as good as that of the low-level Windblade Wolf, being dry and hard.

Even so, followers like Gort were moved to tears as they ate.

"I'm so happy! In my lifetime, I never thought I'd get to eat Advanced Magic Beast meat!"

"Thank you, my lord. Praise be to you, my lord. The Shoebill Stork meat is so... chewy. This is the most precious food I have ever eaten!"

"The Glory of Knighthood favors us. Only the lord can slay an Advanced Magic Beast. Though I've never seen a Shoebill Stork, just seeing and eating its meat is so satisfying!"

"As long as we keep fighting by the lord's side, Advanced Magic Beast meat isn't a luxury, and it's not impossible for us to even eat Super Magic Beast meat!"

"Exactly, the lord is the youngest Sky Knight in the country, destined to become a Dragon Knight!" One follower directly shouted the slogan of the Dragon Knight, which is not inappropriate, as the Dragon Knight is more like a beautiful aspiration.

Every knight dreams of becoming a Dragon Knight.

Though the picnic was simple, everyone was overjoyed, except Liszt who was not satisfied with the texture of Shoebill Stork meat. The chef also made a separate portion of grilled Purplesand Crocodile meat for him, which also wasn't great—tough and hard to swallow.

Actually, the texture of magic beast meat isn't tied to its level.

Low-level magic beasts, like fire rabbits and pink snails, have tender, flavorful meat, although the nutrition and magic power are slightly inferior. Moreover, compared to regular meat like beef, magic beast meat does not necessarily have an advantage—Invisible Dragons and Fire Drakes all prefer beef to magic beast meat.

Of course.

Eating magic beast meat isn't about the texture, so no matter how bad Shoebill Stork and Purplesand Crocodile meat tastes, he will still devour it alone.

...

Early in the morning.

Riding the Rainbow Whale Rosi, he went directly to the seaside villa in Flower Town, where Acheronides had been staying for the past few days, not venturing out.

Liszt got straight to the point and said, "Acheronides, I have a task I want to entrust to you."

"Brother, please tell me. Acheronides will definitely help you complete the task."

"I have a batch of foreign books here, possibly from the continent across the Devil Sea, a group called the Children of the Sun." Liszt took out the stack of Sun Script books and placed them on the table, "This diary by Philip, a descendant of the Sun, you can study first. It contains simple teachings of Sun Script."

"The continent across the Devil Sea?" Acheronides seemed very surprised, "Are there humans living there? I thought the Devil Sea was the boundary of the ocean."

Liszt said, "Have you forgotten, I told you, our world might be a planet. If so, then the boundary of the ocean can only be land, and the boundary of land can only be the ocean, so there must be a continent across the Devil Sea."

"We are on the east side of the continent, then... what if across the Devil Sea is the west side of the continent?" Acheronides posed the question.

Liszt was momentarily stunned.

He really hadn't thought about this issue. If the other side of the Devil Sea is indeed the west side of the continent, it's not impossible—assuming this planet has only one continent and one ocean, then obviously the Devil Sea is the only ocean, just difficult to cross, hence the various legends.

As for the west side of the continent, it's too far away, with no information flow, and few know what the situation is like there.

He could only awkwardly say, "Some books record that the westernmost part of the continent is the Empire of Eternal Radiance, which uses high-level script... probably not the same as Sun Script, and the Empire of Eternal Radiance is not the Children of the Sun... Anyway, you judge for yourself."

"Okay," Acheronides stroked the unique paper of the Sun Script books, then said, "This paper is so thin, it really doesn't seem to be produced by any country on the continent. Brother, do you want me to learn Sun Script and then translate the contents of these books?"

"Acheronides is so smart," Liszt habitually stroked her azure hair, "I found some clues. Remember that shipwreck? The boxes on the ship contained these Sun Script books and some seeds. The seeds have sprouted but are growing very slowly. I think the technique of how to cultivate the seeds is hidden in these books."

"Is that shipwreck from another continent?"

"Yes, according to my speculation, it might not be a sea ship, but a sky ship!"

"Ah! A sky ship?"

"There isn't enough evidence yet to support my guess, so I need you to look through these books. By the way, I will transplant the sprouted Potion Seeds here. Once you find useful clues from the books, you can conduct research on them." Liszt decided to also entrust the task of cultivating the Potion Seeds to Acheronides.

He was getting more and more accustomed to being a hands-off boss.

Unfortunately, Acheronides' legs had not grown out, so she couldn't walk on land normally. Otherwise, she could be of greater help.

"I really hope the smoke mission would offer some rewards to help the mermaids grow." He kept thinking in his heart, trying to influence his subconscious to tweak the threads of fate.

The subconscious cannot be controlled.

One can only try to influence the smoke mission by thinking about it day and night, constantly self-hypnotizing, hoping it would actually work.

...

While transporting the potion seedlings to the glass greenhouse, he had to constantly supervise to prevent the servants from damaging the seedlings—even though there were still many seeds stored in the gem space, until the seedlings mature and bear fruit, losing one means one fewer.

"Wah!"

Thorn Fairy Jie La flew out from the castle, landed on his shoulder and grabbed his hair, making a fuss, wanting Liszt to play with her.

"I'm very busy now, Jie La, go play by yourself." Liszt patted Jie La's head, signaling her to stop making a fuss.

"Wah!"

Jie La flew away reluctantly.

Returning to the bug room in the castle, she saw Mickey, the corn spirit bug, playing with a group of spirit bugs, and she immediately rushed up, raising her hand to strike.

Mickey was startled, "Jigu," "Jigu," and flew away.

Jie La's hand didn't actually fall, but paused in mid-air, then without looking at Mickey, flew out of the castle, heading towards the Thorn Garden where the insect grass had been moved. The Thorn Garden in Flower Town no longer grew fast-growing magic thorns but had been changed to fast-growing iron thorns.

She shouted "Wah," waved her hand, and sprinkled a patch of green light, making a patch of thorns grow.

Then she cooled off.

She prepared to go back and continue playing with Liszt, but Liszt was no longer in the castle; he had taken the potion seedlings to the seaside villa.

Following a vague mental sense, Jie La flew directly to the seaside villa.

The apprentice knight bug guards who followed her couldn't stop her from entering the now unfamiliar seaside villa, but when she arrived, Liszt, who was teaching the Giant Kelp Grand Sprite Pyke to speak, had already sensed her presence and called her over.

"Jie La, come and meet Pyke." Liszt signaled Jie La to land on his shoulder, then said to Pyke standing on the table, "Pyke, this is Jie La, you should coexist peacefully from now on."

Pyke bared his teeth, whether smiling or threatening: "Jie La, ugly little bug."

Jie La was furious: "Wah!"
