A Ke could not dive beneath the volcano, so she could only wait until the Phoenix was born before conducting further research, or study those rough, blood-red stones named "Phoenix Bloodstones."
The stones contained dense fire-element magic. According to A Ke's preliminary research, their function was to gather fire-element magic. By relying on some special property, they could draw together the free fire-element magic in the surrounding air and create an abundant fire-element environment.
When many Phoenix Bloodstones accumulated together, it was roughly equivalent to constructing a magic array, providing an incubation environment for the Phoenix egg.
"Once the Phoenix is born, these Phoenix Bloodstones can be mined and used to create a fire-element training ground at the Knight Academy for knights who cultivate fire-element battle aura," Liszt thought. "And Phoenix Bloodstones can be placed together with Phoenix-Roosting Parasol trees to attract more Red Sparrow Birds and Flame Dragon Birds."
Once these firebirds were tamed as mounts, they would undoubtedly become formidable combat power.
The elite Guard Knights of the Burning Legion could use Red Sparrow Birds and Flame Dragon Birds as mounts. Sky Knights would ride Flame Dragon Birds, while elite Earth Knights would ride Red Sparrow Birds.
"A Ke, Rio and I will head down and check whether there's any problem with the egg. If there isn't, we'll trigger the volcanic eruption today and help the Phoenix be born!"
"Mm."
Very soon, under Rio's Flame Envelopment, Liszt followed the familiar route to the dried-up passage and ran all the way through it into the cave.
The Phoenix egg had not changed in the slightest, and the dead branches below it were still burning.
As his finger touched the egg, he once again felt that yearning for freedom. It was a primal emotion, not a soul with subjective consciousness.
