The Sapphire Grand Duchy possessed quite a few volcanoes. Enormous islands like Blue Dragon Island and Iron Hoof Island were dotted with active volcanoes. Even Coral Island had one, though it was extinct, located between Birch City and North Valley City. Liszt had explored it before.
He even suspected that Black Horse Island was an extinct volcano as well.
"Should the little Fire Dragon be raised inside a volcano?" He frowned in thought. It made perfect sense that a young Fire Dragon would hide within a volcano.
Perhaps young Fire Dragons did not even need to eat. Simply bathing in magma might suffice—these were miraculous creatures formed from magic, and it was difficult to imagine exactly how they survived.
Liszt watched the recovered little Fire Dragon take to the sky again and thought, Perhaps without the support of a volcano, the little Fire Dragon needs ordinary bloody meat and potions to provide the nutrients it requires for growth... But I have no way to raise it inside a volcano.
Those active volcanoes in the Sapphire Grand Duchy all lay within the territories of other nobles.
As for other extinct or dormant volcanoes, it was difficult to reach magma within them. Naturally, they would not nurture the magic power the Fire Dragon needed.
"Should I secretly send the little Fire Dragon over there, into a volcano, and let it soak in the magma?" The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly rejected it.

Within it stood two active volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Kilauea was one of the
