"Teacher Gort, how is the progress in finding a suitable place to settle the sprite worms? They have been asleep for a month. I hope to revive them as soon as possible rather than consume their potential. "
Sprite worms were magical little creatures.
They could recognize their master. So long as they bit a finger and used a drop of blood as a guide, a magic contract could be established. They were the spirits of nature, the essence of plants, and also the emissaries of magic.
By planting their worm stalks, they could influence the growth of the surrounding plants.
The worm stalk was the plant that gave birth to sprite worms. It could be regarded as a life-bound magic treasure belonging to the sprite worm. It could be stored and released. It could be planted and dormant.
The growth of the worm stalk was the growth of the sprite worm.
Once the worm stalk died, the sprite worm would also die.
Currently, the worm stalks were in the stomachs of the four sprite worms. Without nourishment, the sprite worms could only sleep. This was not only a waste of productivity, but also a delay in the evolution of sprite worms. No sprite worm could evolve into a lesser sprite just by sleeping. They had to constantly absorb nutrients and influence the growth of crops in order to evolve.
Despite the low hopes.
Liszt still wanted to try whether his sprite worm could evolve into a lesser sprite.
Gort replied: "The alfalfa worm is suitable to be planted in the dairy farm. There is a large grassland there. It should be possible to change the grass species to alfalfa. It is very difficult to find a suitable place for the millet worm. The Flower Town mainly grows wheat, no one grows millet. Tulip worm is naturally to be planted in the flower farm, even though that place is almost deserted … As for the thorns sprite worm, Liszt, you know that this worm has no value."
"I don't care if it has value or not. What I need is for them to have a field to grow!"
"I can plant alfalfa and Tulip worms first. The lazy serfs should start moving. However, Liszt, I need manpower. The clerks are lazy fellows, they can't get anything done! "
"You can enlist the town's commoners at will. The castle will pay their salaries."
"Heavens, the castle pays salaries? You are truly a generous lord. However, there are practically no literate people in the Flower Town. You also want me to organize a census. They can't even write their own names. I can guarantee that they can't do anything. You can't count on the commoners. "
This was a problem.
There was no school in the Flower Town, and there was no education here. It was really unreliable for illiterate people to become officials.
"Teacher Gort, do you know any literate people who are willing to settle down in the Flower Town? As long as they are willing to serve as officials, I can pay them at least twice the salary of the officials in other cities … My castle should still have a lot of gold coins. "
No matter how unfavored he was, Liszt was still the count's son. After his coming-of-age ceremony, he received a lot of gold coins.
Gort was silent for a moment, seemingly deliberating: "Liszt, I can see that you have great ambitions for the Flower Town. I do know some people with insight who didn't achieve their ambitions. However, as your tutor, I must remind you that it is already very strenuous for the Flower Town to support a lord. With another group of people, it would be unbearable. "
"I understand. Don't worry, I will take care of it. You can invite all of them over." Liszt said casually. If he gave talent to others, he would be able to create wealth.
In his view, the Flower Town was a virgin land that had not been exploited.
Although there were no sprites, and it was very difficult to rely on farming to make a fortune, but farming was not the only way to create wealth.
At the same time, there was a voice in his mind: "I have the smoke mission, my cheat. Maybe it can bring me even more wealth!"
They were discussing business.
The old butler Carter knocked on the door and came in: "Master, the peanut settlement's Elder George has come to see you."
"Oh, what is it?"
"He said that the peanut settlement's peanuts have been restored to green overnight. In the central field that you specially instructed me to look after, there is a flower that has grown a very big bud. "
"Is that so? Let him in." Liszt was very pleasantly surprised.
He had not expected that the peanut field would be restored to normal after applying fertilizer. He almost couldn't wait to find a place to stare blankly and see if the smoke mission had been updated.
By the time Elder George nervously tiptoed into the castle, Liszt had already regained his calm: "Elder George, tell me about the peanut settlement in detail."
"Yes … Sir Lord … Your great brilliance … has shone on every corner of the peanut settlement …"
Just as Carter had reported, the peanut settlement had been restored to green overnight. A peanut had mutated and grown a very big bud. The serfs were overjoyed. Elder George, disregarding his lame leg, ran like the wind and asked to see the lord while gasping for breath. The former numb and despairing expression in his eyes had been replaced by hope.
Gort had already reacted, his mouth wide open: "Oh, heavens! Liszt, this … could it be that the peanut field has given birth to a … a peanut sprite?"
Liszt smiled faintly: "It is very likely."
"Oh, heavens! Liszt, you are truly a heaven-favored aristocrat! For such a remote rural town like the Flower Town to actually give birth to a sprite sprite worm, incredible! "
"Whether it is incredible or not, we will know once we take a look. Mr. Carter, prepare a horse for me, I want to go to the peanut settlement."
"As you wish, Master."
At the castle gate.
Liszt and Gort mounted their respective mounts. Carter asked: "Master, your retainer Knight has yet to arrive, would you like to wait for a moment?"
Thomas took a step forward, wanting to say something, yet not daring to open his mouth.
Liszt noticed. He gave Thomas and Elder George a slight glance, before saying: "Thomas, follow me on a horse. Hmm, take Elder George as well."
As if hearing heavenly music, Thomas was so excited that his body trembled: "Thomas is at your service, Master!"
This was the first time the sir lord had gone out, when he had asked him to serve him. The meaning of a valet was the same as that of an attendant, a trusted aide of an aristocrat. Many greater aristocrats' valets were Knight Attendants who fought side by side with them on the battlefield.
Four people, three horses.
Fierydragon took the lead, galloping as fast as lightning to the peanut settlement.
As far as the eye could see, the peanut field, which was still yellow yesterday, was already lush green, with all the peanut sprouts stretching their branches and leaves to their heart's content.
It was currently spring, not yet the flowering season.
However, the largest peanut sprouts in the center of the field had a fist-sized flower bud on its stem, waiting to bloom. The delicate emerald green color was particularly delightful.
"This is truly a sprite worm's flower bud. Heaven-Favored, Liszt, the Flower Town is a heaven-favored place!" Gort shouted somewhat exaggeratedly.
Liszt was actually very excited inwardly, yet he still wore the reserved and gentle smile of an aristocrat on his face: "The sprite worm plays a vital role in the Flower Town's agriculture. Therefore, this peanut field must be protected. Elder George, you and the serfs have to send people to guard it every day. "
"Sir Lord, Elder George has to guard it even if he has to eat or drink!"
"If he doesn't eat or drink, then there is no need. Have people take turns keeping watch." Liszt said to Thomas behind him, "Go back and tell my retainer Knight that I need one of them to be stationed in the peanut settlement every day to guard the sprite worm."
