The Knowledge Ancient Book’s assessment of the Gemstone Crown produced results not as a whole but for each gemstone individually. As each gemstone was brought close to the Knowledge Ancient Book, it provided an assessment.

Otherwise, the Knowledge Ancient Book would not have been able to summarize the assessment of so many gemstones in just a page or two. It would take at least two thousand words, exactly one chapter.

It was the Knowledge Ancient Book’s assessment of the thirty-six Dragon Gems that convinced Liszt of both the abundance of knowledge within this divine artifact and the accuracy of its content. Since the Knowledge Ancient Book indicated that the root was from the Tree of Golden Apples, there was little chance of error, although the root appeared quite ordinary.

“Ach, keep the Tree of Golden Apples with you for now. If you have spare time, research it. If you’re busy, hand it over to someone else, or simply seal it and store it in the laboratory’s warehouse.”

Although Ach was an Archmage, he was only one person.

The other Grand Magicians couldn’t offer much help, as many research projects were beyond the capabilities of any magician but him. Liszt didn’t want Ach to be too immersed in magical research, so he often took him out to relax and dissipate his focus, wasting a lot of time.

As a result, many projects were sealed and stored in the laboratory warehouse, like the hind leg of a Jade Dragon, preserved with special sealing Magic Arrays.

This time, the Tree of Golden Apples was treated the same way.

A divine item that could foster the creation of Bloodline Fruits was something most magicians could not study and would have to wait until Ach found time to research.

“For now, Ach will focus on the Magic Teleportation Array as the primary research project. The Tree of Golden Apples might have to wait.”

“Proceed as you see fit.”

After chatting with Ach for a while, Liszt played the piano in the laboratory, and Ach sang. They entertained themselves for an hour, a relaxing diversion.

Then he left.

After leaving, he did not continue to search for natural nodes. He had been searching for a week, which had left both him and Bard feeling dizzy and exhausted. He wanted to rest for a few days to recuperate mentally. Besides, he had just acquired six Bloodline Fruits and had some long-anticipated work to do.

…

“Your Highness, all the Fierce Earth Dog pups collected are here. There are a total of twenty-one,” reported the steward of the dog yard.

What Liszt was constantly preoccupied with was the breeding problem of the Blizzard Beasts.

He collected Fierce Earth Dogs from various places and purchased them, continuing to breed young pups that could be raised to prepare for future cultivation of Blizzard Beasts.

“Only twenty-one pups? I remember the dog yard’s investment being significant. Why so few?”

“Many adult Fierce Earth Dogs were sent by the Knight Order, but because Fierce Earth Dogs are very wild, many starved to death or died colliding with their cages. Very few survived to mate and produce pups,” the steward of the dog yard said helplessly. “We’ve already lost several knights trying to prevent the Fierce Earth Dogs from harming themselves, but we still can’t stop it.”

Magical Beasts usually possess strong wild natures and are difficult to tame—the disposition of Dragon Beasts is somewhat more docile.

Unless subdued by the might of a dragon, Magical Beasts will not easily submit to humans, and they will take any opportunity to escape.

He frowned slightly. Although he wasn’t satisfied with the result, Liszt didn’t blame the Steward of the dog farm, “So, has there been any result from the breeding program that mixes the Falcon Dogs with the Fierce Earth Dogs and Blizzard Beasts?”

“Uh, Your Highness, there doesn’t seem to be any result at present. Not only can the Falcon Dogs not breed with the Fierce Earth Dogs and Blizzard Beasts, but other dog breeds of Magical Beasts also cannot breed with each other.”

“Hmm,” Liszt wasn’t surprised; he had never expected it to succeed.

He then personally selected six seemingly robust puppies from twenty-one Fierce Earth Dog young and allocated a large amount of Magical Beast Meat resources to feed them.

On the other side, the Bloodline Fruit was also planted in pots that had been treated with Magic Fertilizer.

Of the six Bloodline Fruits, two possessed golden-yellow Magic Power, well-matched with the Earth Attribute, while the other four were red, purple, blue, and white respectively—the attributes of the Bloodline Fruits weren’t too important, all being unique forms of Magic Power capable of aiding any Magical Beast in evolution.

It’s just that similar attributes had a higher compatibility with each other.

Three days swiftly passed by, and the Little Fierce Earth Dogs, overfed, were lively and spirited, while the Bloodline Fruits, quickened by the Magic Fertilizer, ripened one after another.

“Let’s begin the cultivation. Whether the evolution succeeds actually has nothing to do with how strong the Fierce Earth Dog puppies are; it’s completely up to luck.” Although Liszt said so, he still made selections.

The Bloodline Fruits with golden-yellow Magic Power were allocated to the two Little Fierce Earth Dogs that appeared to have the most vigor.

The other Bloodline Fruits were given to the remaining four Little Fierce Earth Dogs.

One by one.

The first Little Fierce Earth Dog ate the red Bloodline Fruit and, within moments, died on the spot; the second Little Fierce Earth Dog ate the purple Bloodline Fruit, bled from all orifices but didn’t die, merely hanging on by a thread, likely another evolution failure; the third Little Fierce Earth Dog consumed the blue Bloodline Fruit with no noticeable changes.

“No changes?” Liszt carefully examined this Little Fierce Earth Dog, “If there’s no change after eating the Bloodline Fruit, that’s the biggest change of all. It means the Little Fierce Earth Dog has absorbed the Magic Power of the Bloodline Fruit and is waiting to slowly activate it!”

He handed this Little Fierce Earth Dog, named “Purplehide,” to the Steward of the dog farm, “Take good care of it, make arrangements according to the most favorable treatment.”

“Understood, Your Highness.”

Afterward, the fourth Little Fierce Earth Dog consumed the white Bloodline Fruit and immediately became violent. After a while, the fierceness waned, and it collapsed to the ground with loud snores.

“It seems this one has also succeeded?” Liszt revealed a smile. The Eye of Magic observed Purplehide and this Little Fierce Earth Dog, now named “Whitehide,” with Magic Power surging within them—this indicated that the power of the Bloodline Fruit was improving the bloodline talents of the Little Fierce Earth Dogs.

Two out of four Bloodline Fruits succeeded, not a bad rate, showing that Liszt’s luck was quite good, even without the assistance of the Smoke Mission.

Following that.

The fifth vigorous Little Fierce Earth Dog ate the golden-yellow Bloodline Fruit and immediately dropped dead. Liszt was profoundly disappointed; the one he had carefully chosen turned out to be less fortunate than Purplehide and Whitehide, who were not as heavily favored.

Shaking his head, he fed the last and most spirited Little Fierce Earth Dog the final golden-yellow Bloodline Fruit.

Shortly after, the Little Fierce Earth Dog started to bleed from the nose.

Just when Liszt thought it was another failure, the Little Fierce Earth Dog’s nose quickly stopped bleeding, and it entered a frenzy of maddened barking before it finally quieted down. Despite its subdued state, like the two previous successes, its Magic Power was rapidly increasing.

Without a doubt, this one, named “Goldhide,” had also succeeded.

“Three failures, three successes, I’m quite satisfied with this outcome,” Liszt shook his sleeve and instructed the Steward of the dog farm, “Take good care of Purplehide, Whitehide, and Goldhide. When their evolution stabilizes, I’ll have Emily, the Captain of the guards, come over to take charge.”

He himself had no more energy to tame these Low-Level Magical Beasts; he had to let Emily take over.

The Steward of the dog farm acknowledged and then asked, “Your Highness, what about this failed but not dead Little Fierce Earth Dog?” He was referring to the second one called “Purplehide,” which bled from all orifices after eating the Bloodline Fruit but managed to cling to life.

“Just keep it. If it can hang on, then treat it the same as Purplehide and the others.”

“As you wish, Your Highness!”
