The matter of the Serpent Blood Fruit was entrusted to his own merchant caravan, as well as the one from Tulip Castle.
He also wrote to the fat Aubrey Lycra from Beer Castle, asking him to help inquire about and purchase a batch of Serpent Blood Fruit.
After doing all this, he waited for news about the Serpent Blood Fruit while also awaiting the investigation results from Paris, and he pondered how to hunt Dulu Miqita.
"Dulu Miqita has come hunting after the Sea Sprite Ake; that means Ake is the best bait... But I can't let Ake get harmed, so luring Dulu Miqita in the sea is not an option," he mused.
Luring it on land was the only option.
To precisely lure Dulu Miqita, Ake's identity as a sea sprite was indispensable.
In Liszt's mind, Ake was very important; he had to ensure the sea sprite's safety: "Perhaps I could lure Dulu Miqita onshore, but how to do that on land? Or rather, how does Dulu Miqita pursue the sea sprite Ake? What does it rely on for tracking?"
