Chapter 1040 -1037 Reef City
Moths to the flame, an indescribable delight.
Good news came just after the New Year, this time from Formless Dragon Bard. While Liszt had been busy with social engagements over the New Year, Bard aimlessly wandered the world beyond matter—ever since the Magic Teleportation Array was established, it no longer feared getting lost.
Unexpectedly, it discovered a natural node, and upon opening it, found itself on the west coast of Flame Island, an area filled with reefs.
It remembered that Liszt had always wanted to open more teleportation arrays on Flame Island to turn it into a widely accessible transportation network. Without a doubt, this was a natural node of great developmental value; it could connect the west coast of Flame Island to the transportation network.
Therefore, Liszt rushed over with Bard to survey the environment.
The waves of the sea continuously beat against the reefs, and the scene of the azure sea and blue sky inspired a surge of high spirits in him, “Such a scene, I feel compelled to compose a poem… Facing the stone tablet in the east to view the vast sea. How tranquil is the water, how towering are the mountainous islands. The trees thrive, the herbs flourish…”
This poem did not match the scenery here.
There were no trees in the reef area, and it was not on the East Coast but the West, about a hundred meters offshore. Standing on the reefs, one could gaze far at the coastline, where there was a seemingly endless stretch of white, clean sand with just the occasional tree resembling a Fragrant Coconut Tree.
Further in the distance, there were sparse shrubs, and the land was mostly sandstone, unsuitable for farming.
The water and soil on the northwest half of Flame Island were not as good as on the southeast half, bearing less of the dense primeval forests and more resembling grasslands and deserts. The magicians from the Magic Guild had conducted long-term research here, finding that the rainfall was significantly less than in the southeast, especially dry in winter.
“Although the northwest half is not generally suitable for living, it doesn’t mean there’s no land suitable for farming. There are several river basins that could develop into rich agricultural lands. Moreover, the terrain here is relatively flat, suitable for grazing, and could become a large ranch for the Flame Kingdom in the future.”
Therefore, building a large city on the East Coast was very necessary.
In the future, constructing a Magic Teleportation Array to connect with other areas of Flame Island was undoubtedly most suitable here.
“Bard, fly freely around here for a while. I’m going down to the sea to inspect the underwater environment of the reef area and see what special features are here that could create a natural node,” Liszt said as he summoned Little Water Dragon Walter, who had long been attached to his kidneys.
Walter did not have an appropriate Dragon Nest and thus could not absorb Water Attribute Super Magic daily, resulting in his very slow physical development with no visible growth.
Unlike Leo, who had grown rapidly each day by leveraging the Super Magic fermented by a volcano.
“Yo ho!” As soon as Walter flew out, he landed on the water surface, curiously looking around.
Then, ridden by Liszt who connected mentally with him, they plunged beneath the sea surface, searching for any trace of specialness that might indicate the presence of a natural node.
Natural nodes might be related to Super Magic.
Or more directly related to dragons—Dragons are the source of most Super Magic.
Eye of Magic cast.
Synchronizing with Walter, Liszt’s perspective soon shifted to that of the Water Dragon, and each current in the vast sea was clearly visible, enhancing the simple Eye of Magic several times over. This shared the same principle as Fire Dragon Leo’s Dragon Eye Trajectory, and Liszt, not wanting to rename it, still called it Dragon Eye Trajectory.
Elemental Dragons could mostly synchronize with the Eye of Magic, as could the Formless Dragon, but the Metal Dragon, Gemstone Dragon, and Bone Dragon could not be compatible with the Eye of Magic.
Dragon Eye Trajectory continually scanned.
It swept over every underwater reef without detecting any signs of magic power, not even a single Sea Monster was found. “The natural node is between the reef areas, not beneath the sea surface, making it difficult to judge what exactly happened when the Superior Magic formed the natural node in the past.”

He searched back and forth carefully but still could not find any clues related to magic power, and he ultimately had to declare the search a failure—this natural node contained no Dragon relics.
Perhaps it was just an ancient period when Dragons fought fiercely, causing the Superior Magic fluctuation that triggered the natural node.
Previously, several natural nodes also yielded nothing.
“Let’s call it the Reef Natural Node, and plan to build Reef City here…” Liszt decided on the name of Reef City and then withdrew Little Water Dragon Walter.
He mounted Formless Dragon Bard and left this place, heading straight for Mermaid City.
He wanted to instruct the Mermaids to mobilize a group of Fish Ugly Race to build Reef City. The seawater aquaculture was not yet flourishing, and many from the Fish Ugly Race had nothing to do, so he decided to let them participate in city building to use their unchanneled energy, rather than letting it go to waste.
“Your Majesty, the water quality here is very good, and the fish are abundant, making it a natural fishing ground,” said Marquis Lost – Coquelix.
“Have you discovered fish?”
“Yes, I have sensed a huge school of fish hovering around, near this marine area.”
“That is good news. It is even more suitable to build Reef City here. Now that Salty Sea Marquis – Blue Posey is in charge of Mermaid City, you will manage Reef City here; build the city half in the water, half on land. In the future, this will be the central city of the East Coast.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty,” Coquelix nodded in agreement.
Although the age of Mermaids had passed, their greatest desire as the seven remaining ones was to purify the ocean. However, this did not mean they had no desires, especially as the Magic Guild was helping them develop the Source of Vitality Potion that could stimulate reproduction.
This gave them the possibility to reproduce, and with it, desires for power and status emerged, and there was even quiet competition among the Mermaids.
Currently, Marquis Fugitive – Viswinti had already made a Heart of the Mermaid contract with Ach, becoming the chief steward of Overmarine Laboratory on Anchor Island, taking charge of marine experimental content and starting to pursue a route in magic research.
Marquis Great West – Eternia, being the oldest among the Mermaids, primarily served as Liszt’s underwater assistant, responsible for protecting him during his sea travels.
Salty Sea Marquis – Blue Posey now managed Mermaid City. Liszt had already consulted with her to transfer the Heart of the Mermaid to Emily—being a Dragon Knight of the seas, it was a pity not to be able to swim, hence Liszt made Emily contract the Heart of the Mermaid for an additional life-saving skill.
Marquis Fisher – Gulvig was an external agent with a temporary duty. Liszt specifically ordered her to travel by sea, migrating the Dragon Turtles from Dragon Turtle Island and the Lightning Dragon Turtles from Black Horse Island to the Flame Islands. The Lightning Dragon Turtle was a Super Dragon Beast, and ordinary Dragon Turtles were also Advanced Magical Beasts, holding great value.
Marquis Lost – Coquelix was about to oversee Reef City.
The remaining Marquis Aquamarch – Tibidais and Marquis Sea Trench – Sharivara, Liszt planned to dispatch to Mind Island to ensure its security. As one of the only two gateways connecting Flame Kingdom with the outside world, the importance of Mind Island was self-evident.
“By the way, Coquelix, about your planned circumnavigation of the waters near Legendary Continent, when are you preparing to set out?” Liszt inquired.
“Marquis Eternia thinks this spring is a very suitable season, one year is enough for us to tour the entire coastal waters of Legendary Continent. To see if there are still Mermaids, Naga, or Fish Ugly and other subordinate races existing… how bustling the old ocean was, and how lonely the ocean is now.”
Coquelix spoke with a tone full of melancholy.
