Etheria, the Marquis of Onishi, was the oldest of the mermaids, and before the mermaids had finished their voyage around the sea, he returned to the Flame Kingdom with the sea spirits they had discovered.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for delaying your plans for the development of the Fire Kingdom's oceans for so long. After she saw Liszt in Mermaid City, she immediately apologized, obviously knowing that Liszt was very dissatisfied with the mermaid's absence for so long.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley man, besides, the mermaid is not a knight.

Liszt did not choose to criticize these mermaids for strictly following the knightly system and becoming loyal followers, so he bowed his head and said, "It's been a hard journey, Marquis of Etheria, are the other mermaids all right?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's concern, they live well in the sea, where there are countless treasures that attract them. However, they will soon be able to map the coastline of the legendary continent, and then return to the Flame Kingdom to help His Majesty develop the sea...... We have never forgotten to purify the Devil's Sea. ”

"The purification of the Devil's Sea will definitely be carried out, and when the time is right, I will personally preside over it. "Liszt was just as curious about the Marfa continent on the other side of the Devil's Sea.

But you have to eat it one bite at a time.

He asked, "What about the sea spirits you brought back?"

"It's all here. ”

With the call of Etheria, a large number of elves poured in, most of them elven worms, there were a dozen or so elves, and two large elves. These elves have already made a contract with Etheria - Liszt himself does not intend to contract with aquatic elves, and it is more convenient to hand them over to the mermaids.

"What kind of elves are they?"

"It's just the kelp elf, I'll name it Shakaraka, it's just the thorny pine elf, I'll name it Aristotle, this elf is ......" Etheria introduced the aquatic elves one by one, among which the kelp elf and the thorny pine elf have names, and the others have no names.

Judging from the tone of her introduction, she has no liking for elves, and completely uses elves as a tool - after all, a long time ago, the sea kingdom would catch elf insects and trade with humans, and in their opinion, elves were products like fish and shrimp.

Of course.

In the era when mermaids ruled the sea kingdom, elves were only elven insects, and elves, elves, and dragon elves had not yet been born.

The stupid and stupid elf worm is indeed no different from fish and shrimp.

"Well, you have to take care of these elves, especially the kelp elves, who can grow seafood, which is not cheap. It just so happens that Bruposi has been so busy lately that she has to help me manage the Amazon rainforest while developing the saltwater sea. When you come back, take over the Amazon rainforest. ”

"As you wish. "Etheria is also very talkative.

"When you have accumulated enough military achievements, I will divide you as the Duke of Onishi and divide a sea as your fief. Liszt said.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's generosity, I will manage the Amazon rainforest well. ”

After the official business was settled, Liszt began to ask Etheria about her special experience of cruising around the sea. Although there was a contact with the magic platform before, after all, there are many contents that cannot be elaborated through the magic platform.

"The sea is far lonelier than the sea of the Moon Empire's era, Your Majesty, I live in an era that is about the end of the Moon Empire's era, or even many years after the Moon Empire's disappearance. At that time, the pollution of the cursed dragon had already enveloped the sea, but it was still more lively than the current sea. ”

Etheria continued to sigh: "In our time, there were not only a large number of marine intelligent races in the sea, but also mermaids, naga, fish ugliness, krakens, and so on. There are countless sea monsters, and even the sea monster Leviathan is not uncommon, but all I saw on this voyage was desolation. ”

Without the intelligent race of the sea, the mermaids, naga, and fish uglies disappeared cleanly, and even the wreckage of the palace of the former sea kingdom was not found.

Sea monsters crisscrossing the ocean are also rare.

The only magical creature found was the wurm-hydra: "We organized several group hunts, but all of them escaped...... The location of the hydra is probably in this area. She pointed to a map of the legendary continent that was gradually outlined, and her fingertips pointed to the sea area due north of the continent.

This sea area is located in the coastal area of the Kushan Empire.

"I'll shoot with Ark when I have time to capture this hydra. It stands to reason that wurms have great wisdom and may be able to tame the hydra into a guardian beast in the same way that they tamed the giant lion Nemea. "Liszt was very enthusiastic about this hydra.

Everything that is magical, his eyes are red and his heart is hot.

"Your Majesty, I also met a kraken in the waters of the Immortal Empire, who once lived on land. According to her conversation, the language of the Immortal Radiance Empire, the Higher Ming Script, is similar to the grammatical structure of the Language of the Moon, far closer to the Language of the Wind, the Snake Language, and the Language of the Moon. ”

"No matter how close it is, it's not the language of the moon, and the only one who inherits the civilization of the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire is the Flame Kingdom. Liszt smiled, "What else did you communicate with that kraken?"

"I asked her if she would like to come to the Flame Kingdom, and she said she didn't. ”

Although the Kraken is rare in the sea, it is not only Ake, Liszt has seen the old Siren Ace before. However, Ise's magical talent is scarce, and there is no record of the Kraken having magical talent in the bits and pieces of history. In this respect, Archer is unique.

But.

The Kraken is really beautiful.

"Did you talk to the Kraken about the Immortal Empire?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the Immortal Empire, so I didn't talk about it. And after all, there is a gap in our language, stumbling, and the conversation is not pleasant. Compared to Lord Acheroides, the Siren was too ignorant and naïve. ”

......

The return of Etheria is undoubtedly a great help to the cause of the sea, and the number of fish uglies is increasing, and a mermaid alone cannot fully control it.

So Liszt continued to return to the frenzied cultivation with the gray iron dragon Orn.

Time is racing towards the future.

At the same time, the Royal Arcane Academy on the Fire Island, as well as the various laboratories attached to the Academy, continue to introduce magical technology products. Most of them were inventions related to people's livelihood, and the Arcanist system was firmly on its way to the "scholar" route conceived by Liszt.

Instead of learning powerful magic, the Arcanist's primary goal is to concentrate on the invention of various magical technologies.

Against this backdrop, the Royal Shipyard in Eddynam Estuary and the Ship Laboratory, jointly funded by the Royal Shipyard and the Royal Arcane Academy. Inuit Truth, the chief arcanist of its laboratory, declares that the age of sailing is about to be a thing of the past.

The Magic Ship is officially born!
