Chapter 1010: Chapter 1007: Stopping the Child’s Crying
“I’m not an assassin, Piero,” Liszt said with a cold undertone in his voice. It was preposterous to him that Piero saw him as a hitman for hire.
If it weren’t for the Aluminum Dragon, he wouldn’t want to get involved in Piero’s trivial matters at all.
Indeed.
In his eyes, Pilaf the Earth Frenzy was just an ant he could crush at will, yet as a Dragon Knight, he had his own pride. To plan wars and personally plunder resources had already made him, the Flame King, lose quite a bit of dignity, and now, if he were to assassinate a noble, his reputation would be completely ruined.
A tree lives on its bark, a man lives on his face.
He could engage in life-and-death battles with other Dragon Knights but was not willing to kill ordinary knights lightly. It was a matter of principle.
Seeing Liszt’s attitude, Piero couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “You’re not an assassin, but you are a vampire!”
Of course, on the surface, he quickly assumed a frightened and apprehensive demeanor: “Ah, please forgive Piero’s indiscretion, Your Majesty. It’s just that Pilaf is too greedy, having forcibly abducted my son Florenza, wanting to claim the Aluminum Dragon for himself, leaving me powerless.”
“Pilaf is certainly greedy, and it is necessary to give him some punishment,” Liszt said with a smirk. “As much ability as one has, so should one enjoy resources. As an inheritor of the Ancient Warrior, he is destined to be eliminated by this era, yet he still acts so recklessly. It’s unwise.”
While he seemed to be scolding Pilaf for not understanding the rules, he was actually warning Piero. To request the involvement of a nation’s king in one’s game requires an equivalent stake to be paid.
“According to what you’re suggesting, Your Majesty, if I’m willing to pay with eight Greater Elves and ten Little Minor Elves, and provide a Sub-dragon lead, what kind of reward can I expect?” Piero was no fool. He quickly guessed Liszt’s intentions and asked.
“You could invite Pilaf to come out for a talk; one Aluminum Dragon is here, the three of us could all try our luck.”
“How to try?”
“Start with a Mind Battle on your side; after a failure, let it be Pilaf’s side’s turn for a Mind Battle, then it’s my turn. If we all fail, we’ll start a new round. As long as you and Pilaf both pay a certain number of elves for the toll, I’ll oversee your Dragon Riding affair.”
After considering for a moment, Duke Piero replied, “I can try to invite Pilaf out, but the price must be lowered.”
“Agreed.”
…
The territory of the Grey Iron Duchy was directly adjacent to that of the Marquis of Boulder, and the distance between the King’s Castle and the central city of the Marquis was equally short. Previously, when the Grey Iron Dragon Ornn was still part of the Grey Iron Duchy, Piero never missed an opportunity to bully others using his status. Now it was the Marquis of Boulder’s turn to suppress Piero.
Considering himself to have the upper hand, Marquis Pilaf of Boulder eventually consented to Duke Grey Iron Piero’s request to meet in a border town.
“Duke Piero, I will not return Florenza to you. My son will undergo the Mind Battle first; that’s the only option!” As soon as Pilaf entered the castle and sat down, he laid out his attitude, “After my sons Picart and Pilet fail in the Mind Battle, then it’s Florenza’s turn.”
“Pilaf, are you taking me for granted?” Duke Piero looked coldly at the man before him, with his disheveled beard and broad, bear-like figure.
The Marquis of Boulder was true to his name, like a massive rock.
Such was the figure unique to the Cloaked Bear-wearer, whose sheer bulk, even without the aid of magic power, could unleash the brute force to tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands.
After consuming Dog’s Mantle Mushrooms, a toxic kind of little mushroom, his magic power went unrestrained, and his aura surged fiercely.
Pilaf laughed heartily: “The glory of knighthood doesn’t just favor your knightly families. My sons are also knights and are likewise graced with the glory of knighthood. Duke, the Aluminum Dragon belongs to the glory of the Earth Fury Family. You should just get used to it.”
“If I ask for assistance from the Eagle Royal Family, you won’t stand a chance!”
“The Grey Iron Family won’t stand a chance either. We’re the same, and who would dare to risk a leak. Moreover, losing the glory of the Aluminum Dragon, my family might be reprimanded by the Royal Family at most, but we wouldn’t suffer any loss. However, the Grey Iron Family would risk the danger of decline, hehe.”
Pilaf might have looked like a simple brute, but in reality, he was quite perceptive and had a deep understanding of the pros and cons involved.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing: Duke Pierrot, having had a taste, chose to collaborate with Liszt again—Duke Pierrot thought he was pulling a tiger’s skin to make a big banner, unaware it was a case of waving the tiger only to usher in the wolf.
Be that as it may.
At a time when Pilaf was feeling extremely satisfied with himself, Liszt, having already surveyed the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers and confirmed there were no Dragon Knights lying in wait, descended from the sky and walked into the small, unnamed castle. Flack Abbaie enhanced his imposing figure, making it impeccably erect.
The handsome face no longer bore the naivety of his early years, just wisdom and maturity, steadiness and dominance.
“Who are you?” Pilaf’s gaze was inextricably drawn towards Liszt as he entered, his pores constricting and goosebumps covering his body, already feeling a massive pressure.
“Allow me to introduce him,” Duke Pierrot chuckled, “This is the most outstanding legendary figure from the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent, the king of Flame Kingdom, His Majesty Liszt Flame, the Sacred Dragon-Invisible Dragon Knight. He will preside over the Aluminum Dragon distribution matter for us.”
Liszt casually sat down, his gaze briefly assessing Pilaf. His Eye of Magic revealed the thick Chaotic Magic Power within Pilaf’s body.
This power needed only a spark to trigger a violent explosion.
It must be said that the Cloaked Bear-wearer’s Ancient Warrior Inheritance was a very interesting and unique Cultivation System, worthy of deeper study.
“The Formless Dragon Knight!” Pilaf stood up in shock on the spot.
His retinue of knights, too, clustered around Pilaf in a panic, pulling out their Knight’s Longswords and looking fearfully at Liszt with the atmosphere tense enough to ignite at any moment.
Liszt suddenly unleashed his Dragon Might at the crowd and commanded authoritatively, “Sit down!”
Crack!

Marquis Pilaf of Boulder couldn’t help but sit down again, took a deep breath to quickly adjust his mentality, and gestured his retainers to disperse, “Without receiving news from His Majesty Liszt, Pilaf failed to personally welcome Your Majesty. Please forgive me.”
“These trivial matters are of no concern.”
Liszt offered a slight smile, “I am here to reiterate my facilitation plan: it will be a trilateral agreement signed by the Grey Iron Family, Earth Fury Family, and myself. Duke Pierrot will pay me seven Greater Elves along with a clue about a Sub-dragon, and I ensure that Florenza Chase Wind Arrow gets the first chance to engage in the Mind Battle with the Aluminum Dragon.”
“He has no right to be first!” Pilaf was about to slam his hand on the table upon hearing this, but then he glanced at Liszt and lowered his hand, “Your Majesty Liszt, that doesn’t seem fair, does it?”
“First come, first served—Florenza is entitled to the first opportunity. You, Marquis Pilaf, also have a chance to participate. If you pay me five Greater Elves, I will allow your son Picart to have the second opportunity, and I would graciously settle for third.”
Pilaf’s hand rose again as if to hit the table, but he restrained himself, “I don’t agree with this order; Florenza has no right to precede my son!”
Liszt’s eyebrows rose, “Pilaf, are you questioning my authority?”
“This is the Eagle Kingdom!”
“Even if we were in the Neverfall Empire, I can exhibit my authority all the same. Pilaf, you don’t seem to see it that way?”
“Indeed, I can’t stop Your Majesty Liszt’s formidable strength, but I have a backup. The Eagle Royal Family could hear about everything happening here at any moment, and once the Royal Family intervenes, nobody gets the Aluminum Dragon!”
“That’s why I propose a tripartite cooperation. You can attempt the first and second Mind Battles, and I only ask for the third. In reality, this is merely to avoid distractions. Even if King Adonis Moonlight Silver of the Eagle Kingdom himself were to come, if I fail to secure the bond with the dragon, I could simply kill the Aluminum Dragon, annihilate the Earth Fury Family, and then leave.”
To kill a dragon as though it were no different from a chicken—
Such words from another, Pilaf could spit in his face, but with Liszt speaking, Pilaf could only accept—after all, this Dragon Knight once forcefully killed two Dragon Knights and alone challenged five dragons. Such a ferocious reputation that could quiet a three-year-old child’s crying.
If Pilaf dared to arrange things carelessly, the Earth Fury Family truly faced the risk of extermination.
