"Natural Magic?"

As expected, Chris was captivated by the mention of natural magic, "Viscount, what is natural magic, and what is a Magic Plant Master?"

Liszt recited the prepared speech to Chris and added, "Regarding natural magic, I'm still organizing the information and it's not convenient to reveal it yet. However, I will send you the materials soon. When you study natural magic, pay more attention to training Magic Plant Masters."

"Hmm, I can't wait to see natural magic."

Pointing to the twenty new magic apprentices lining up downstairs to register, Liszt said to Chris, "Do you see those twin girls? The older sister is Lucy, and the younger one is Ruth. They have great learning aptitude in the orphanage, and they're already very proficient in reading, writing, and speaking Serpent Script."

"What about them?"

"I appreciate their desire for magic. Pay close attention to them. If they have great magic talent, please focus on training them. If not, then so be it." Whether Lucy and Ruth were indeed magic geniuses, Liszt couldn't be sure.

Chris looked at Lucy and Ruth intently and nodded, "I understand, Viscount."

Having done this.

Liszt then left the Mage Tower.

He called out to Smoke Mission, "Complete the mission, reward one Alfalfa Elf Bug."

"Hmm, an Alfalfa Bug? Not bad, Black Horse Ranch has only one Alfalfa Bug, and its influence range is too small. One more Alfalfa Bug will allow for the cultivation of premium pasture, making the Black Blood Treasured Horse herd stronger." Liszt was satisfied with this Alfalfa Bug.

Since it was already late, he planned to visit Black Horse Ranch the next day to find the Elf Bug before it was accidentally eaten by one of the horses.

He then turned his attention to the new mission.

"Mission: Your excessive attention to the Giant Algae Greater Elf has fueled jealousy in the Thorn Minor Elf of the castle. Its anger is burning fiercely; it seems that sowing thorns in the fields is no longer enough to vent, perhaps it needs more of your love. Reward: Mutated Thorn variety."

"Hmm?"

Liszt suddenly felt an indescribable emotion, "Have I been paying too much attention to Pike? Has Jela become so jealous that it can't be contained? It seems I do indeed favor the new over the old, and I really should take good care of it... With the promise of a new Mutated Thorn, Jela truly is my lucky star."

The Thorn Minor Elf had a terrible temper, but it was his first minor elf, and thus held special significance.

So.

What he needed to do was return to Fresh Flower Town overnight with Jela by his side, then continue back to Black Horse Island. Early the next morning, he would head to Horse Ranching Town, gallop across Black Horse Ranch on Lightning, and after some searching, successfully find the nascent Alfalfa Bug—its Cordyceps not very apparent, indicating it was just beginning to fertilize.

"Charles, have the Bug Guard Team dispatch someone immediately to protect this Alfalfa Cordyceps," he commanded.

Security team leader Charles Trap bowed in response, "Yes, my lord!"

Immediately after.

Liszt headed straight for Thorn Town, opposite Black Horse Ranch. Thorn Town was only just being built with several rows of houses for the serfs. The town's current industries were limited to two: a Thorn Plantation of over a thousand acres and a Blackberry Bug Plantation of just over a hundred acres. The blackberry plantation held Blackberry Cordyceps, while the thorn plantation was home to three Thorn Cordyceps, one of which belonged to Jela.

Arriving at the thorn plantation.

Jela was very excited, making non-stop "woo-wah" noises. Whether it was getting close to the thorns or playing with Liszt, everything seemed to make it very happy.

He didn't know what level of care was needed to complete the mission.

"""

Liszt planned to spend some time playing with Jela, to make up for his previous neglect. As time flew, he had visited Dodo Island three times, training with Little Fire Dragon Leo. The Smoke Mission was still incomplete, but during this period, Jela truly had the time of its life. Your next read is at empire

Following Liszt, Jela's figure could be found all over Black Horse Island.

Elsewhere.

Ach, after relentless effort, deciphered more and more of the Sun Script, making rapid progress in the study of natural magic. He managed to translate 60 percent of "Druid Essentials - Magic Bean Planting" and learned six magic bean planting spells: Magic Bean Sprouting, Bathing in Sunlight, Rapid Shoots, Lush Foliage, Bud Protection, and Magic Power Condensation.

In his leisure, he also deciphered the "Vigorous Wheat Stalk" and "Developed Root System" spells from "Advanced Druid Essentials - Magic Wheat Planting", the "Vine Co-development" spell from "Specialized Druid Courses - Magic Melon Planting", and the "Lotus Seed Germination" spell from "Hydromancy Specialization - Magic Lotus Root Planting".

Moreover, he determined the titles of related books for several other magic plants.

They are "Vegetable Specialization - Magic Eggplant Planting", "Seasoning Specialization - Magic Pepper Planting", "Healing Specialization - Magic Ginseng Planting","Fruit Specialization - Magic Pear Planting", "Dry Fruits Specialization - Magic Sunflower Planting", "Advanced Druid Essentials - Transforming Tree Cultivation", and "Advanced Druid Electives - Magic Tangerine Planting".

"So the Seedship Wood that I got before, which can grow Sky Ships, is actually called Transforming Tree, a higher-level natural magic taught in Advanced Druid Essentials," Liszt realized. He had great expectations for the Transforming Tree.

According to the simple content deciphered by Ach, by using the Transforming Tree planting magic, one could control the growth of Transforming Trees into any desired shape.

This wood could achieve the quality of iron-wood, remain immersed in water for hundreds or even thousands of years without rotting, and stay as hard as ever—with such magic-grown carriages and ships, one could imagine how incredibly sturdy they would be.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "The Child of the Sun truly is a miraculous race, their natural magic is boundlessly wondrous."

Ach nodded and agreed, "Magic Beans and Magic Wheat are staple foods, Magic Melons are fruits, Magic Lotus Roots are aquatic vegetables, Magic Eggplants are vegetables, Magic Peppers are seasonings, Magic Ginseng can heal, Magic Pears are fruits, Magic Sunflowers are nuts, and Transforming Trees are building materials. And there's Magic Tangerine, probably another fruit, they've got a rich variety indeed."

"Indeed, this is a precious heritage of wealth. Ach, your work is very important."

"Mm-hm, Ach will surely translate them all."

There was no doubt.

The magic plants and the natural magic brought by the Sky Ship have infinite potential. Once developed, the assistance they could provide was immeasurable.

"But why did a Sky Ship, carrying almost all of the Child of the Sun's survival resources, sink here at Black Horse Island?"

It seemed to him that it might be related to the note in the Messaging Drift Bottle—"The tower has collapsed, Tree City is ablaze, XX is no more, the Child of the Sun will ascend with the flames, drifters, you are now free."

"Perhaps the Child of the Sun's homeland was destroyed, and the Sky Ship was the 'ark' they used to escape?" Liszt shook his head, not delving further.

It was also impossible to delve further.

All those Sun Scriptures were about records of natural magic and some architectural blueprints, but there were no historical accounts of the Child of the Sun.

Not even a word or phrase.

Despite Ach's efforts in scouring all the Sun Scriptures, he couldn't decipher what the "XX" in "XX is no more" referred to. It seemed like a place name, yet they couldn't even figure out on which continent the Child of the Sun lived, let alone a place name that could be a proper noun.

"When I become a Dragon Knight, I will organize a Naval Fleet to cross the Devil's Sea!"

To uncover the truth!
