Rock Wall isn’t a lethal magic, but its usefulness in group battles is very apparent, whether for blocking or for defense, it’s a valuable spell.

Rock Spike, Rock Grenade, Rock Wall—Douson’s training needed to be replanned to accommodate new commands.

However, the pressing matter wasn’t training Douson, but to complete the new Smoke Mission.

“Mission: News from afar is soon to arrive, an earth-shattering scheme may unfold into reality, no one can predict, but as a Landlord, one must stay armed and be ready for battle. Prepare for combat and await the moment the message is delivered. Reward: The breeding of the Green Caterpillar.”

This was the new mission content.

The reward was the peculiar “breeding of the Green Caterpillar”; he wasn’t clear on what the Green Caterpillar was. After inquiring many people, nobody knew what it was. It sounded like some kind of caterpillar, but generally, caterpillars were pests, so why would it be a reward?

“Could it be like a silkworm? Spinning green silk?” This question could only be answered after completing the mission.

What concerned him was the content of the mission—prepare for battle.

“The Smoke Mission hasn’t provided exact news, meaning whether the dragon-slaying occurs and the outcome of it are still unknown. But I should confirm Fresh Flower Town’s battle sequence for heading into the battlefield and be ready to join the fight at any time,” Liszt thought deeply about his own strength.

He and Douson were a pair, so when heading into battle, he would undoubtedly bring along Douson.

Now, Douson’s strength could be compared to a newly knighted Sky Knight, with three magic skills: the main attack “Rock Spike”, the control skill “Rock Wall”, and the ranged assault skill “Rock Grenade”—no apparent weaknesses. Combined with Liszt’s Eye of Magic and archery, they were an extremely powerful offensive platform.

Paris should be brought to the battlefield, not to fight, but to unleash a burst at a critical moment, to handle any fatal crisis.

Then there was the Knight Squad, comprising two Elite Earth Knights and ten Common Earth Knights, not outstanding but should be capable of supporting roles.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Essentially, this was all of Fresh Flower Town’s combat ability.

In terms of equipment, the Knight Squad had a full set of Fine Steel Knight Suits armed by him, as well as arrows made from Thorn Ironwood and Thorn Poison—not too great, but not too bad either.

And there were Telescopes to peek into the forefront.

“My Knight Squad will follow the Coral Island Knights and take on logistics and support tasks… Once we really enter the battlefield, I’ll think about how to make decisions. The battlefield changes rapidly, so one can only adapt accordingly,” Liszt pondered.

…

“I didn’t expect to enter the battlefield so soon. Don’t worry, Baron, I will ensure your safety,” Paris said with a smile.

Liszt replied with a smile as well, “With my current strength, combined with Douson, as long as we don’t encounter a Sky Knight of the Sword Saint Level, it’s not too dangerous. I will fight alongside my father and brother, so it would be difficult to come across a Sky Knight… If we really face an irresistible force, then you can step in.”

He paused and added, “Be cautious about using your transformation. You have a whole youthful future to look forward to; save me if you can, and if not, escape on your own.”

It’s impossible to predict how a person will react when faced with danger.

Liszt was simply preparing for the worst scenario. As someone who had lived in peaceful times and then crossed over to this Different World where knights charged into battle, it was natural for him to be nervous about the battlefield. Or perhaps, without experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, he couldn’t transform his mentality and set his spirit free.

Marquis Merlin had told him that young people should be passionate.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t young and rarely had moments of passion, being cautious and considering all aspects was his style.

Paris, who had directly faced the Light Dragon, said with ease, “Within the scope that my life allows, I won’t let you, Baron, fall into danger.”

It seemed as if an atmosphere was brewing.

They exchanged a knowing smile, and then Paris bid farewell and left the study.

…

Within the Sea View Villa.

Ach, the Sea Serpent magician, was still earnestly learning magic. She had completely immersed herself in the world of magic, unable to extricate herself. She spent most of her time in the Sea View Villa, continuously paging through magic books, soaking up various kinds of magic knowledge like a sponge.

“Brother, you’re here.”

“Yes, I came to see how Ach is doing.” Every time he saw Ach, Liszt was in a good mood, “And also to check on Nami.”

The Mangrove Minor Elf was sleeping on the table. It rubbed its eyes, saw Liszt, and whispered “jee” as a greeting.

Then it continued to sleep soundly. Unlike the active Thorn Minor Elf Jela, most elves actually prefer peace and spend most of their lives sleeping—after all, they are born from plants, and plants stay in one place for their entire lives.

“Does brother want to hear Ach sing?”

Ach put down her magic books and asked with wide eyes.

Liszt would naturally not refuse.

So, a beautiful and melodious song quietly began to play. It was a popular folk song from the Duchy of Sapphire, and when sung by Ach, it sounded celestial. Compared to playing the piano, it could soothe Liszt’s restless mood more quickly, making him feel at ease.

After singing.

Liszt habitually reached out and ruffled Ach’s sapphire blue hair, and Ach giggled and nestled into Liszt’s arms. She liked to snuggle there, feeling very warm… even though the weather was getting hotter.

“Ach, I might have to travel far away. I hope that during my absence, you will continue to study magic diligently, striving to become a Grand Magician as soon as possible.”

“Where is brother going?”

“I don’t know, I might go to the battlefield, or I might not have to leave Fresh Flower Town. In any case, you should study hard.”

“Mm, Ach is studying hard every day. It won’t be long before Ach becomes a Water System Grand Mage. Then in the sea, Ach will no longer have to worry about being hunted by Dulu Miqita. If Dulu Miqita ever thinks about eating Ach, I’ll use magic to fight them!”

…

At the beginning of June, the blazing sun scorched the earth.

That day, Coral City Port welcomed a swift three-masted ship flying the Sapphire Dragon Banner. After docking, news had already reached Tulip Castle.

Earl William Lee personally hurried to the port to greet this ship representing the Court.

The people from the ship had disembarked and were waiting at the port. Upon seeing Earl William Lee and his party arrive, a knight clad in silver-white armor at the forefront rode forward: “Earl William Lee, I am Boski Pansey, captain of the seventh Knight Squad of the Blueblood Knight Order. I come bearing orders from the Sapphire Duke!”

“Good day, Captain Boski. What message has the duke brought?”

“This is a letter personally written by the duke.” Boski took out a black-sealed letter from his breast and handed it to Earl William Lee with gravity, “The orders are within the letter!”

Taking the letter, Earl William Lee already anticipated the unfolding of certain events, but he remained composed as he offered his hand: “Captain Boski, please accompany me to Tulip Castle to rest.”

“Thank you, my lord.”
