Chapter 983: Chapter 0980: Impact Force
Elves evolved for reasons yet to be unearthed, the historical truth behind this was a matter for exploration. Regardless, the epic war that took place across the vastness of the ocean definitely altered the course of civilization in the entire world.
But anyhow.
Li Si Te wasn’t an archaeologist after all; he just wanted to speed up the development of the Flame Islands, so he set aside many of his questions for the time being.
“I will help His Majesty Li Si Te discipline these Fish Uglies; compared to the time I lived, their intelligence has deteriorated a lot, but the oppressive power inherent in their bloodlines is still effective.” With the command of Gulvig, the Fish Ugly Race, numbering in the millions, formally became slaves.
In the Mermaid Kingdom, the Fish Ugly Race was already a slave race.
Stripping away the beautiful veneer of mermaid legends, in fact, mermaids are dragon rearing families of the sea; the Naga belong to the Knight Class of the Mermaid Kingdom, while the Fish Uglies are the commoners.
Class rigidity was much more extreme than among humans.
However, to truly gain Gulvig’s loyalty, Li Si Te needed to purify the power of the Cursed Dragon to prevent recurrence of sea pollution due to leakage from the seal. Now that the sea was Li Si Te’s territory, both morally and logically, he had to purify the power of the Cursed Dragon.
Ach stayed in the Overmarine Laboratory, planning the purification.

With the Fish Ugly Race as the labor force, not to mention an Overmarine Laboratory, even an Overmarine City could be easily constructed—the Fish Ugly Temple, a typical structure of the Mermaid Kingdom, was a masterpiece of the Fish Uglies. Of course, in the Mermaid Kingdom, such temples were officially called Sea Sacrificial Halls.
The Sea Sacrificial Hall was a symbol of mermaid authority; at the height of the Mermaid Kingdom’s power, Sea Sacrificial Halls were scattered throughout every part of the ocean.
All built by enslaving the Fish Uglies.
“Ach, do your research here, I’m heading back to Flame Island. Let me know if there’s any progress.”
“Don’t worry, brother, Ach will solve this curse pollution problem.”
“First clear the cursed dragon power in the trench; don’t meddle with Devil’s Sea just yet. Wait until we can discuss and decide together.” He was worried that Gulvig might coax Ach into dealing with the fallen mermaids, fallen Naga, and transformed devils that were previously Fish Uglies from Devil’s Sea.
Even though he didn’t know if there were any devils left in Devil’s Sea, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
“Ach understands.”
So.
Li Si Te, along with Nami, returned to the Estuary Swamp. Nami had to continue her diligent cultivation of the Mangrove Forest, while he planned to inspect the spring plowing.
After each spring plowing, it was a time of explosive outbreak for the Elf Bugs, and he would often take time out to harvest a batch. The elves in the wild were mostly of lower value; only those Elf Bugs nurtured by cultivated crops possessed high value. Even as a member of the nobility, the dragon rearing family could not do without elf farming.
He had barely returned to Flame Castle and rested for a few days when Li Si Te received a message via the Magic Platform from Yevich Water Peanut, sent from the faraway Snowstorm Mountain Duchy.
“Your Highness, I’ve made contact with the Second Prince of the Snowstorm Mountain Duchy. This Second Prince is currently contending with the First Prince for the title of heir, and perhaps we could exploit his ambition to secretly control Snowstorm Mountain Duchy.”
“Go into detail.”
“Duke Scora Cicada of Snowstorm Mountain has two sons. His eldest son, Spot Cornflower, has the right of first succession, but his mother’s status is somewhat embarrassing—she was once a noble widow who had already given birth to a son, yet was desired by Duke Scora, who married her despite opposition from the duchy’s ministers.”
After Spot was born, the noble widow passed away soon, and so the duke took another noble-born lady as his wife and fathered a younger son, Scart Cicada.
The Second Prince, Scart, is only four years younger than the First Prince, Spot.
Legally, the First Prince Spot had the right to succession, but due to the issue with his mother’s status, many ministers were quite dissatisfied and turned to support the Second Prince, Scart.
Duke Scora was indecisive regarding his two sons.
Unwilling to lose his status as the heir, the First Prince was embattled, while the Second Prince was ambitiously seeking to replace him – thus the duchy split into two factions in ongoing strife. This year, as Duke Scora’s health deteriorated, the princes’ struggle intensified. To gain support, the Second Prince Scart did not hesitate to hook up with Yevich.
He sought the backing of the “Eagle Kingdom forces”—to this day, Yevich was still under the banner of the Eagle Kingdom.
“Hmm, a cliché drama of brothers fighting over inheritance?” Li Si Te wasn’t really scheming; he preferred open confrontation, “What’s the position of the Yellowstone Kingdom on this struggle between the two?”
“They’re watching the tigers fight from the mountain. It seems that the King of Yellowstone Plains doesn’t really care for Snowstorm Mountain Duchy; Snowstorm Mountain is located on the plateau, and it is indeed too barren.”
“Let’s just wait and see, and support the weaker side in the conflict. Ideally, we could have those two brothers fight for ten or eight years. Then take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Snowstorm Mountain Duchy and ultimately, I want to control this country as a foothold and a buffer for the Flame Kingdom on the Legendary Continent,” Liszt said offhandedly.
It wasn’t a particularly clever plan.
It was basically a general guideline, the details of which would naturally be discussed by the Development Committee.
Yevich replied, “Your Highness, but currently I do not have enough power to interfere with the infighting. The Second Prince is slightly weaker, and he hopes to borrow some high-end combatants from the Eagle Kingdom.”
“I will consider that, and soon I’ll be opening a teleportation array between Flame Island and the Legendary Continent. Then, supplies and knights will be continuously transported there. Tell Scart to rest assured in his struggle with Sakyth, I can even send Dragon Knights to help him!”
That’s how the bigwigs on Earth did it, supporting some in small countries and suppressing others, in any case, just making sure those countries were in turmoil.
It just so happened that Emily’s training had progressed rapidly, her Advanced Dou Qi was nearly complete, and she was close to a successful partnership with the Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan.
She could take charge of the plan for the Snowstorm Mountain Duchy when the time came.
…
The Duke of Snowstorm Mountain wasn’t dead yet, so Yevich was told to keep a low profile, and Liszt quickly handed the matter of the Snowstorm Mountain Duchy over to the Development Committee to follow up.
He leisurely toured the farmlands opened by various cities, searching for Elf Bugs that were in the process of being nurtured.
His training certainly didn’t lag behind, and he frequently visited the Endless Volcano Cluster to complete Leo’s Mind Branding as soon as possible. Naturally, the supply of Magic Potions during this period was indispensable, and he was most concerned about the Magic Potions made from the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree.
“Your Highness, this batch here is the Phoenix Fire Potion,” Chris personally delivered the Magic Potions extracted from the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree to Flame Castle.
“How’s the effect?”
“It’s not ideal. Your Highness can personally experience it.”
After drinking a vial of Phoenix Fire Potion and feeling the impact of the Magic Power, Liszt indeed frowned, “I thought the Fire Attribute Mana would be very powerful, but I didn’t expect the effect to be so weak, even weaker than chaos attribute magic potions.”
“Yes, the Fire Attribute Mana of the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree is very strong, but the Magic Potions extracted always fail to meet the standard.”
“What about the production?”
“The production isn’t very high either.”
“Is it really that useless?” Liszt rubbed his temples.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. He had thought that after the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree Greater Elf – Ani became a Dragon Elf, the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree would achieve much. Unexpectedly, it was so subpar concerning Magic Potions. Now, the Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest’s significance seemed to be limited to attracting Fire-attribute Birds.
“How much was produced?”
“It’s all here, eight hundred vials for the first batch.”
“Hmm, just leave it here.” Although the Phoenix Fire Potion was inferior, it was still needed for training. At worst, he’d just drink more of the Phoenix Fire Potion to compensate.
He took the first batch of eight hundred Phoenix Fire Potions and soon went to the Endless Volcano Cluster to continue his training with Leo.
“Ohoo!” Leo looked at the new variety of Magic Potion that Liszt had brought, and it wasn’t very pleased. It wanted Red Dragon Water.
Liszt raised his hand, “Make do with it. Although the Phoenix Fire Potion is average, if the quality isn’t there, quantity will make up for it. Just go ahead and take your medicine.”
Leo then reluctantly swallowed the Phoenix Fire Potion.
However, once the potion was consumed, Leo’s narrow pupils suddenly dilated, and the evil glint in its eyes was quickly replaced by surprise. It clearly felt that the power of the Phoenix Fire Potion was far from the “subpar magic potion” it had been described as by Liszt.
Liszt, through their mental connection, also quickly felt the effect of the Phoenix Fire Potion on Leo.
The surging impact of the Magic Power was an intensity he had never experienced before, not even slightly inferior to the Red Dragon Water produced by the Red and White Rose Family.
It was more than a match!
