On a single return trip, Liszt discovered three natural nodes: one at a volcanic crater, one in the sea, and one at Jade Mountain. Of these, the crater and Jade Mountain nodes were both suitable for development.
After the Invisible Dragon saw the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Array, it directly opened a passage back to the entrance of Whirlpool Mountain Cave, then returned to Tinder City.
He told A Ke about the three natural nodes he had discovered.
However, A Ke was still compiling information on Magic Gates and had yet to formulate a Magic Gate Project. She also needed time to cultivate her spatial elemental incarnation. Once she mastered it perfectly, it would be enormously beneficial to the development of Magic Gates—because she would be able to travel through space freely alongside Liszt and the Invisible Dragon.
At that time, with A Ke personally setting up the Magic Gates, things would become much easier.
"Brother, the more natural nodes we control, the better. Only then can we select the most suitable ones to establish Magic Gates and complete the magic teleportation arrays."
"Understood. Leave this matter to me!"
Just as Liszt rubbed his hands together, preparing to once again explore the world beyond matter, Smoke's mission brought good news.
"Mission complete. Reward: cement."
Clearly, Liszt's idea of using volcanic ash had helped the craftsmen at Fire Dragon Brickworks successfully develop cement. With cement successfully developed, a flourishing construction industry was just around the corner. More importantly, Flame Island possessed the Endless Volcano Range, where volcanic ash was practically inexhaustible.
For the island's future construction, cement would be in virtually endless supply.
"Something worth celebrating. But Black Horse Island probably has no use for cement. I no longer intend to continue developing Flame Territory there; maintaining the current industrial structure
