Chapter 1046 -1043 Jela Resigns

Many things in the world can block magic power, for instance, mochi juice is a very outstanding anti-magic material. Large castles are almost all constructed using mochi juice as a binder, such castles can very well withstand the impact of magic and Dou Qi, remaining strong.

However, mochi juice merely resists magic, it cannot completely stop the infiltration of magic power.

There are hardly any items that can prevent the seeping of magic power, not even gemstones or crystals, those products of dragons. Gemstones can maintain their magic power for an extended period, but the reason lies more in the fact that gemstones have a concentrating effect, allowing them to automatically absorb the free magic power in the air.

Crystals have this effect too, though it is very weak, and once the Dragon Magic Power is exhausted, they lose this property.

Therefore, the ability of gourds to store magic power startled Liszt, awakening him to explore the hidden secrets within, as to why they can block magic power, an existence as distinct from matter.

“It seems that while letting the Magic Guild develop the value of the gourds, I also need to contact Ach, to let Ach also look into the secrets… I can try to fumble around myself, I always feel that this little gourd hides a big secret, it concerns my fortune!”

Unfortunately, the gourd was truly just an ordinary gourd. After turning it over and examining it repeatedly, he found no additional clues.

He could only set it aside for the time being and looked at the Gourd Greater Elf Klay, who was swinging on a vine, saying, “Klay, you really are my little lucky star. The gourds you cultivate are very important… Seeing you’re not quite happy at Flame Castle, why don’t I teach you a song instead?”

“Good, I like to sing!” Klay’s eyes brightened.

“Come, learn from me… ‘Gourd kids, gourd kids, seven flowers on a single vine. Unafraid of wind and rain, la la la la…'” Liszt sang.

Klay then followed learning, “Gourd kids, gourd kids, seven flowers on a single vine…”

But halfway through the song, it complained, “This doesn’t sound good at all, not good at all. Liszt, do you think I’m silly? Singing has to rhyme, and your song doesn’t rhyme at all. It’s not as nice as ‘Return to River Fort’ that Old Carter taught me. Listen to me sing!”

Klay showed utter disdain for the song Liszt taught, and indeed, the song ‘Gourd Kids’ sounds nice in Chinese, but translated into Serpent Script, the rhymes become jumbled, leading to a stutter.

After all, they are two completely different language systems, with very different constructions of aesthetic design.

Soon, Klay’s singing voice began to rise.

“Look, how beautiful this ocean is! How thrilling it is! Look, this natural landscape, how it intoxicates us!”

“Look, by the hillside orchard, full of lipstick-like raspberries, fragrance wafting everywhere, warmth filling the air.”

“But you said ‘goodbye’ to me, forever abandoning your lover, forever leaving your hometown. How can you bear not to return? Please don’t leave me, don’t let me suffer again!”

“Return to River Fort, please come back!”

This is a widely popular folk song from the Steel Ridge Kingdom and is equally widespread in the Sapphire Duchy. Basically, everyone born in Sapphire knows this song. Butler Carter is a Sapphire person, and he taught this song to Klay and other elves during his leisure.

Klay had a milky voice, like a child singing, but sang “Return to River Fort” quite pleasingly.

Clap clap clap clap…

Liszt was not stingy with his applause, “Klay, you have a talent for singing, awesome. But you also have to work hard at farming. I hope one day you can grow gourds of the Magic Potion variety. Gourds are very important to me. You must take this seriously, understand?”

Feeling Liszt’s earnest expectations, Klay nodded, “Of course, I will grow magic potions, I am definitely better than Jela!”

His grudge against Jela was as strong as ever.

Seeing this, Liszt couldn’t help but shake his head. Jela, this “catfish,” indeed fulfilled her role well. There was no elf in the castle that did not “detest” her, even the Thorn Minor Elves “detested” Jela deeply—Jela certainly wouldn’t treat someone kindly just because they were of the same breed.

However, when Liszt returned to Flame Castle and inspected the Elf Bug Room, he found Jela standing on the window of her own room, staring blankly at the distant mountains.

She seemed to have a faint sadness in her mood.

“Jela, what are you looking at?” Liszt couldn’t help but ask with concern—although he now had so many dragons and so many elves to look after, reducing his attention to any single individual, Jela always had an indescribable importance in his heart.

Jela turned her head and looked at Liszt, shook the creases on her Little Flack Abiye collar, and spoke seriously, “I am contemplating the future.”

Pfft!

Liszt almost laughed out loud, but he managed to hold it back, “Oh, what future are you contemplating?”

“Evolution.”

“Evolution?”

“Yes, Liszt, I have matured. During my time as an elf butler, I have recognized my own shortcomings. Despite receiving affirmation from Old Carter, Morson, and others for my management skills, and Ach saying that I have a remarkable talent, being a rare kind of elf,”

Jela started to boast seriously, then continued, “But I also have to review my weaknesses. That is, I am not a Dragon Elf, and my authority does not come into full play. Especially Carly and Yadi, those enchanting bitches, who always hinder me from carrying out orders.”

Carly was a Man-Eating Tree Dragon Sprite, and Yadi was a Buckwheat Dragon Sprite, who often looked down on Jela.

“So, what are you planning to do?” Liszt nodded, asking earnestly, being well aware that Jela’s intelligence could not be judged by normal Greater Elf standards.

Just like the Giant Algae Greater Elf Pike, Gourd Greater Elf Klay, and Pea Great Elf Ash—these Greater Elves indeed had the intelligence of a human child in their teens, but more as “emotional beings.” They could learn knowledge but didn’t understand the reasoning behind it.

Only Dragon Elves would delve into deeper thoughts, showing intelligence and emotional intelligence akin to humans.

However, Jela was already exhibiting such traits, and there was another Greater Elf showing aptitude in this area—Mangrove Greater Elf Nami.

Nami liked to wander outside working, while Jela preferred to stay and manage the castle as a butler.

At this moment, Jela said seriously, “Liszt, you said that only by taking a liking to a dragon can a Greater Elf evolve into a Dragon Elf. So I’ve decided that starting now, I’m going to try to like one of the dragons. Even though I don’t like any of your dragons, I must do this.”

“Eh…” Liszt was somewhat speechless. Could liking dragons really be forced? “Then how do you plan to make yourself like a dragon?”

“More contact,” Jela had clearly thought it through. “I plan to resign from my position as Flame Castle’s elf butler and focus on making contact with your dragons. Fire Dragon Leo, Formless Dragon Bard, Light Green Gemstone Dragon Ethan, Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, Mountain Copper Dragon Mata, Water Dragon Walter, Aluminum Dragon Connor, and even Bone Dragon Vinnie, I will try to make contact with them.”

“Hmm, if that’s the case, why not start with Bard first!” Liszt didn’t know if Jela’s forced approach to liking would work, but it was worth a try.

Jela nodded and then squinted her eyes, “Oooh, I’m going to announce my resignation to the elves right now!”
