Liszt named this arc-shaped archipelago the "First Archipelago."
Aside from the already named future "Flame Archipelago," he intended to name all similar archipelagos First, Second, Third, and so on. As for scattered individual islands, those worth naming separately would be given descriptive names like Dragon Turtle Island; those not worth naming separately would simply be called Island One, Island Two, Island Three, and so forth.
Liszt spent a full three days flying over the First Archipelago.
Over those three days, he and Rio were exhausted. He repeatedly cast Dragon Eye Trajectory, searching the green plants on islands large and small, hoping to find elves, magic plants, and Magic Beasts.
Yet these islands were simply too small to support Magic Beasts. Even when there were animals, they were only small herbivores like marmots and rabbits. Otherwise, there were birds and marine mammals such as seals, with only a small number of birds and seals qualifying as Magic Beasts.
Most of the islands did not even have trees. The majority of their vegetation was made up of all kinds of weeds.
These weeds were highly suitable for grazing, with many excellent varieties of pasture grass. Yet perhaps because the islands were simply too barren, they had not produced many elves. After three days of searching, he had found only seven Elf Bugs, all of them weed-type Elf Bugs.
A few slightly larger islands had scattered patches of small woodland, but due to the poor soil, they had not produced many elves either.
In short.
Though the First Archipelago appeared to have over a hundred islands stretching across two to three hundred kilometers of sea, its actual resources were exceedingly meager. This place was only suitable as a maritime trade transit station, not as a place for humans to settle—though it had to
