The Defeated Dragon Chapter 260

Chapter 260 – The Sprite of the Sea

Dang! Dang! Dang!

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the Longtaro Castle announced that the Sapphire calendar had officially passed on January 1, 152.

Liszt lay on his bed expecting the smoke mission to appear.

As the New Year passed, the smoke task also reached completion.

“Complete the mission. Reward:  the sprite of the sethe singing demon.”

“What?”

“This is……”

Liszt 's sleepiness disappeared completely, leaving only excitement ready to burst out. “Sprites of the sea? Singing Demon? Isn't that a legendary creature?!”

The Singing Demon, a legendary creature of the sea, is second only to mermaids in appearance in knight novels. In most knight novels, the Singing Demon is a creature with a woman's upper body and a sea snake's lower body. In a few knight novels, the Singing Demon is classified as an evil creature, seducing sailors at sea and killing them.

It is different from mermaids which are seen as romantic creatures in knight's novels, it is also different from the nagas, which are the demons of the sea. In some magic books, they are said to be a fusion of creatures created by wizards a long time ago.

Singing Demons have long been popular among sailors.

Many sailors have sworn to have  heard the hallucinogenic singing on the sea during a certain voyage, which intoxicated them. Many sailors even said that their ships lost their way on the sea but have only found their way through the guidance of the demon's songs.

Liszt had no doubts about the existence of these singing demons. Since ghost ships are real, there was no uncertainty about these singing monsters.

Even creatures like mermaids, nagas and murlocs, he didn't doubt the authenticity of them at all.

On the contrary, Liszt was very excited. Most of the singing demons in knight novels are described as having beautiful female human upper bodies and with a  pleasant singing voice. The smoke mission also calls the singing demon the sprite of the sea. Obviously, a legitimate singing demon must have some extraordinary power.

“A singing demon.. you reward me with a singing demon? I don't know what those look like … will it have human reproductive organs?”

He touched his chin with an obscene expression.

Liszt thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what kind of strange structure it would have. “I'm afraid it would be nowhere near having a normal human appearance, after all, its lower body is  said to be that of a sea snake … perhaps, it would have a dolphin-like structure?” He used to watch the news and heard stories about people and dolphins.

“Stop!”

Liszt stopped his lewd imagination, preferring to believe that there is no genital structure in a singing demon's body. The smoke mission has described a sea sprite, a creature without sex.

Liszt cleared up his tumultuous thoughts.

He called out the smoke task again. He has not seen what the new task is yet.

“Task: at the beginning of the New Year, ice and snow still covers Flower Town, but new life is already growing. The mother dog beast is about to give birth. In order to have strong fighting abilities in the future, please feed the beast cubs with special Flower Town milk until they open their eyes. Reward: Storm Dog Variation. “

“A mutated storm dog?”

Liszt was attracted by the task. “Feed them the milk of dragon cows until they open their eyes? Does this mean that as long as I feed them the milk of the dragon-type cows, I can make the offspring of Tremblingwoods and Stupidwoman reach complete mutation? Is it even possible to grow a mid-level magical beast like Tremblingwoods ? “

He now has high hopes for Tremblingwoods' pups.

Now it seems that there is a great probability that these pups will be cultivated into mid-level magical beasts.

Liszt thought about the future Storm Dog Army, such a luxurious lineup. Even if the Blue Blood Knights of the Sapphire Grand Duke comes, can't the dog army just burst rock thorns at them all at once?

Thinking of this, he wanted to set off immediately to Flower Town to take care of the soon-to-be born storm dog pups.

But not yet. A ball will be held the day after he New Year's orchestrated by the Marquis Merlin for the three Tulips and Cousin Raleigh to find suitable marriage partners . Marquis Merlin was old, probably idle and bored, and was starting to function like an old man.

Levis couldn't care less. He was still pining over Marquis Rodrik's daughter.

Lvera was full of expectations and Raleigh was even more anxious. Before Liszt received the new smoke task, he was also very much looking forward to seeing Athena Salmon again. He was deeply impressed by the first girl in the world to express her love to him.

But now, he just wants the two remaining days to pass by as quickly as possible and go home.

“I miss my singing demon.”

————–

“Paris, how many egg rolls have you brought with you and why have you not finished all of them after so many days of eating?” After qi cultivation class downstairs, Liszt met Paris, who was bored and wandering around.

This Black Dragon Gang member was hired to protect Liszt. But now that they are in Longtaro Castle, there wasn't much to do so Paris has been wandering around all day.

Other times, Lvera would forcibly pull her over and try to connect with her.

“There is not much left. Fortunately, I can go back tomorrow from this stay in Longtaro Castle. Otherwise, I will starve to death.”

“Are you sure you'll starve to death?” Liszt's eyes swept over her bulging body, and felt that she was getting plumper than before, “Polite suggestion, eat as little snacks as possible, or you will get fat. It will greatly affect your strength. “

Liszt looked at her figure again.

Suddenly, Paris felt her face turn red, her eyes dodged Liszt, and her tone became much softer. “Master Baron, do you like thin girls?”

“Hmmmm?”

Liszt felt that question meant 'trouble' so he said instead, "No, I only like myself." After that, he pulled the ruff pleated collar around his neck, took his two long legs and turned around to go back inside the castle.

Paris was left with her mouth open, not knowing what to say.

The ball would begin at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The time has not yet come.

There were many carriages parked at the gate, and many young nobles had come to Longtaro Castle. All the men and women were dressed in their most magnificent dresses, fluttering like peacocks.

Liszt was also looking brand-new.

The fitted frac habillé perfectly matched his temperament. The fabric of his clothes were red in color, and was embroidered with the symbol of Longtaro Castle. This is a tradition of the nobles, usually embroidering patterns of their own family symbols on their clothes.

The clothes from Longtaro Castle were naturally embroidered with the Longtaro symbol.

Overall, the clothes looked gorgeous.

A good-looking suit on a tall stature, coupled with a mature and stable temperament and handsome face, from where Liszt stood, he obviously was the secret focus of the crowd.

While Liszt was standing by the window at the corridor, a servant came along with drinks and asked,  “Master Liszt, would you like some?”

“Thank you.”

Liszt picked up a glass of champagne.

Champagne is a kind of wine. People like to drink champagne most when celebrating festivals. However, real champagne is hard to buy, because according to the laws and regulations of the Sapphire Grand Duchy , only champagne brewed on Blue Dragon Island is considered real champagne, and the rest can only be called wine.

Blue Dragon Island's champagne output is very low, and it is only supplied to nobles with rankings above that of a count.

Is it good to drink? Liszt was not sure. He doesn't like drinking.

Shaking the golden champagne, his eyes were on the newly arrived carriage.
