The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

```

In order to obtain the fallen sky ship sooner, Liszt almost stared down the carpenters in the woodworking workshop as they made the unicycle.

With Thorn Ironwood and rubber water, the carpenters only needed to create suitable parts and assemble them to form a unicycle.

However, precision was a big issue.

The first unicycle was created in two days, but it was extremely ugly and not agile enough when pushed.

This already drew Isaiah's amazement, "My Lord, is this a unicycle? It's simply magical; it's more nimble than a flatbed cart, and one person can push it around anywhere. With such a unicycle, serfs would hardly need to expend much effort when transporting goods!"

"It's too rough, not meticulous enough. Mr. Carpenter, continue making them, I want to make a qualified unicycle!" Liszt was not satisfied.

There was no helping it, the Smoke Mission had yet to indicate the completion of the task.

It meant this unicycle was a defective product, not recognized—or it could be said that in Liszt's heart, he had not accepted it. After all, the Smoke Mission had a great connection with the reflection of his thoughts. He even believed that the completion of the mission and the issuance of many missions were a reflection of his inner self.

The power of destiny from the Smoke Dragon mixed with his own spiritual power to form the Smoke Mission.

Whether it was or wasn't the case didn't matter; what was important was that the carpenters had to remake a better unicycle. With the experience from the first unicycle, only minor adjustments were needed for the second one, along with an improvement in the precision of the parts. Thus, without a full day's time, a brand-new unicycle emerged.

When the carpenter pushed the unicycle running smoothly in the woodworking workshop,

Liszt called out the Smoke Mission, revealing a satisfied smile, "Complete the task, reward: the fallen sky ship."

With the task complete, he hurriedly instructed the woodworking workshop to produce unicycles at full capacity, then left the place. Returning to the town's administration, he arranged for the patrol team to increase their search efforts in hopes of finding the fallen sky ship.

he didn't need any other actions.

Because a new task had appeared, just like last year's New Year's mission: "Another year of hard work has passed, and as a landlord, you finally have the opportunity to relax, enjoy the upcoming New Year's celebration, but still contemplate the development of your lands for next year, prepare for the training of Sky Knights, and plan for the nurturing of Magic Fire Seed, please wait quietly for the end of the New Year's. Reward: Unknown Rewards."

Every New Year's, after the war, there were unknown rewards, and they were always very valuable.

This made him eager to get through the New Year's quickly, but it was only December 26th now, and there were four more days until the festivities.

...

The patrol teams from Fresh Flower Town and Black Horse Island found no trace of the fallen sky ship.

The ones who actually discovered it were a group of sailors involved in the development of the New Harbor—New Harbor Town located at the northwest corner of Black Horse Island was not yet built, but its affiliated New Harbor dock had already started exploring the waters. Even in the chilly and bone-penetrating seawater of winter, it was no more than a winter swim for the sailors accustomed to severe cold.

While they were surveying the depth of the seawater, they discovered a massive sunken ship on the seabed, so they quickly relayed the news to the castle, reaching Liszt's ears.

"A huge sunken ship was found in the waters of New Harbor?" Liszt kept a calm face, but inside, he was extremely excited.

There was no doubt that this sunken ship was the fallen sky ship.

"Philip and his descendants, the offspring of the Child of the Sun, haven't been forgotten. The people of the Child of the Sun civilization sent the sky ship to welcome them home, only it sank." Liszt quickly mobilized the Fresh Flower Vessel, ready to set sail for the waters of New Harbor at Black Horse Island.

At the same time, he took out the drift bottle, using a bit of Old Phil's blood, opened the cap, and poured out the piece of paper written in Sun Script.

"The tower has collapsed, Tree City is burning, XX has already perished, and the Child of the Sun shall ascend with the flames. Children that are lost abroad, you are free now."

Comparing the note with the Sun Script, Liszt speculated in his heart, "If the Child of the Sun obviously dispatched the Sky Ship, why would he send a Drift Bottle as well?" There was no need for a drift bottle to send messages if there was a ship to pick up people, unless they knew the Sky Ship had sunk.

But there were still many logical barriers that were unexplainable.

Liszt wasn't in a hurry to guess, as the Sky Ship was soaking in the waters of New Harbor, ready to be salvaged at any time, and secrets could be found from the relics of the ship.

A brand new world was about to unfold before him.

The excitement in his heart was imaginable.

Before he set off, he found Sea Sprite Ake reading in the Sea View Villa, "Ake, I've discovered a sunken ship in the waters of Black Horse Island New Port, and I'm preparing for salvage. To prevent any relics from being missed, I hope you will come with me to retrieve all the omitted items."

Ake nodded decisively, "Hmm!"

She wouldn't refuse any request from Liszt.

When they sailed overnight and arrived at the waters of New Harbor in the morning of the 28th, they found Thorn Number being dispatched to salvage the sunken ship.

"My lord, this sunken ship is simply too large—it is like a castle has fallen into the sea. Thorn Number will have difficulty dragging it from the seabed, and our sailors are not capable of diving and cutting the ship into pieces," reported Goltai, "I think we need to assemble more ships to salvage it together."

"Then summon the Fresh Flower Vessel, Pearl, and Mangrove Number over to salvage the sunken ship together," ordered Liszt, with a grand wave of his hand.

He then added, "By the way, Consultant Goltai, I recently received a sum of Gold Coins, about five thousand, which has been allocated for the construction of the new town. There are still a thousand left, and I hope you take these thousand Gold Coins to exchange for three cargo ships to add to the Black Horse Island fleet."

His Gold Coins came from the Levis Couple, who were selling Black Pearls very well and had started making money, so they were able to pay back a part of the debt before the holidays.

They even planned to reserve another batch of Black Pearls, but unfortunately, Liszt had no extra Black Pearls.

With Gold Coins in hand, he planned to purchase ships – trade between Black Horse Island and Fresh Flower Town was getting progressively busy, and without a large number of ships, it would be difficult to meet the demand. He also hoped to train more qualified sailors to form a sufficient number of sea vessels and take part in future Pioneer Mandate wars.

Always borrowing other people's ships made him uncomfortable.

By noon.

The several ships all halted their cargo runs and headed to the waters of New Harbor. After the sailors dived to tie the ropes, the four ships sailed together, dragging the half-buried sunken ship from the seabed. However, to Liszt's frustration, the four ships still couldn't pull the sunken ship out of the silt.

They struggled until evening, but the sunken ship remained submerged, showing no sign of emerging.

Captain Kostor shook his head and sighed, "My lord, the sunken ship lies in a rather deep location, and the dragging power of the ships is not enough; we need more ships involved in the salvage."

After some thought.

Liszt made a decision, "Forget it, let's wait until after the holiday to salvage the sunken ship, now let it stay in the sea a bit longer. After all, it's been submerged for who knows how many years, it's not urgent at this moment. Keep it a secret, and do not reveal the news of the sunken ship here."

"Understood, my lord!"

However, unbeknownst to everyone but Liszt, a large white shell was searching the seabed for the fallen Sky Ship.

The real treasure and secrets were enough for Sea Sprite Ake to salvage.
