Once the Tulip sprite was assimilated, it could be put back into the jade box and raised in the castle. Moreover, there was no need to feed it jade powder. The worm stalk could absorb nutrients on its own to feed the sprite worm.
This process would take about a day.
Back in the castle.
Liszt started writing.
He spread out a thick bast paper, dipped a quill in ink, and began to sketch the Serpentines. Without phone calls or faxes, he could only use the most primitive letters to communicate.
He intended to write to the Earl Of Coral Island and the Baron of Falcon Town, namely his father and sister.
The count had a Tulip Greater Sprite, a Tulip Lesser Sprite, and several Tulip sprite worms. The Baron had a Tulip Lesser Sprite. This meant that the Black Tulip in Liszt's territory was of great importance to the sprites. The count and the Baron would certainly be willing to pay the price to assimilate this new breed.
Here, not to mention blood brothers, even father and son had to settle accounts clearly.
"By taking advantage of the assimilation, I might be able to exchange for a sprite worm from the count and a batch of living supplies from the Baron." He had already thought of what he wanted to exchange for.
Sprites were the number one productive force. If he could exchange for an opportunity, he would absolutely not let it go.
Secondly, there was a shortage of living supplies. In fact, the castle lacked everything. Liszt was not a hardworking and simple person, he liked to enjoy life.
"Secondly, I can talk to the count about the cultivation and sale of the Black Tulip. As a specialty product, the Black Tulip can only be grown here. However, the right to sell it can be handed over to the count. Hmm, as for the profits, it should not be a problem for me to take 20% … However, it will take a year or two for the Black Tulip to be mass-produced. "
He stopped writing, pondered for a moment, and then continued writing.
"Perhaps I can advance, no, collect the count's sales agent deposit. I have to get more gold coins. It will be very difficult to develop the Flower Town without start-up funds. In particular, a safe and wide road must be opened for the Thorns Ridge. If you want to get rich, you must first build a road. "
Basically, that was the content.
When the two letters were written, Markus had already arrived. As an Earth Knight, only Markus was qualified to deliver the letters. Liszt hadn't practiced the middle-level combat power yet, so his combat power was very weak.
"Teacher Markus, I have two letters here that I need you to deliver for me."
"At your service." Markus returned the salute. His tone seemed to have changed. Before Liszt became an Earth Knight, he might have only answered "Yes", but now he said "I am willing to help".
Liszt noticed this change, but he didn't say anything. "Also, I need a mid-level combat energy scroll. Tulip Castle's Thousand Waves is not suitable for me. Bring me the Knight Academy's Fire Surge. Oh, help me ask Steward Louis if there are any other fire element combat energy scrolls in Tulip Castle."
"No problem."
"Have a good rest tonight and leave tomorrow. Pay attention to safety when crossing the Thorns Ridge." Liszt thought for a moment, "Your yellow gray horse isn't good enough, ride my Fierydragon."
Markus bowed in thanks: "Thank you for your kindness, but the yellow gray horse and I have been on the battlefield. It is my old companion, so it is more suitable for me to ride it."
"As you wish."
"If Sir Baron doesn't have anything else, then I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
… …
"Mr. Markus, good afternoon," Tom Pigsty, who was carrying a bucket, respectfully greeted Markus who was leaving the castle.
Markus faintly nodded: "Hello to you too."
Tom was immediately overwhelmed by the favor. Usually, Markus and Gort wouldn't say "hello" to him. He was just a male servant in the castle who did the heavy work. His position was probably lower than the assistant male servant, Jesse Ricewater, who was in charge of feeding the horses, chopping firewood and sweeping manure, and the kitchen maid, Irene Fourfingers.
He wanted to bow to Markus, but he forgot that he was carrying a bucket on his shoulder. When he bent down, the pole slipped and the bucket spilled half of the water.
"Be careful."
"Oh, okay, okay, Mr. Markus."
After Markus rode away, Thomas appeared out of nowhere: "You are really clumsy, spilling half of two buckets of water. Mr. Tom Pigsty, perhaps Master should let you feed the pigs, that would be more suitable for you."
Tom picked up the bucket without looking at Thomas: "I will go get two more buckets of water."
He was a head taller than Thomas, but he habitually lowered his head.
Thomas sneered: "Other than fetching water, what else can you do? No, you can't even fetch water well. You will be a servingman for the rest of your life! I am Master's valet, and sooner or later, I will replace Old Carter and become the castle's butler! At that time, the first thing I will do is to drive you to feed the pigs. "
"You won't, Mr. Carter is Master's confidant." Tom argued in a low voice.
"Hmph, Master has already let me follow him out and trusts me. I am still young, and sooner or later, I will replace Old Carter!"
"You won't." Tom didn't want to say anymore and turned to leave.
After pouring the water from the bucket into the large water tank, the maid Debbie Window came over to fetch the water. She glanced at Thomas who was strolling outside the castle: "Tom, did Thomas give you trouble again?"
"Nothing."
"You shouldn't be afraid of him. He is nothing special. Master will see your hard work."
"I know, I am not afraid of him. Master is a very good person. I work hard, Master can see it, and Mr. Carter can also see it." Tom wiped the sweat from his forehead: "But, thank you, Debbie. Do you need me to help you carry water upstairs?"
"Will it be troublesome?"
"It's okay, the work Mr. Carter arranged for me is very easy."
"Tom, you are really a good person."
…
Early in the morning, Thomas ate breakfast and fed his yellow grey horse enough beans and hay.
He carefully examined the two letters from Liszt and the five letters from Gort, and then looked at the few words he wrote on the thick bast paper.
The few words were used to remind him not to forget – Liszt needed the fire-attributed qi secret manual, Old Carter asked him to buy the thick bast paper, Gort wanted a box of cigars, and the retainer Knight Oden Insole asked him to buy scabies ointment as well as the bowstring he needed.
When he encountered the Windblade Wolves, he had pulled the bowstring too hard, causing it to break. He needed to replace it with a new bowstring.
Then he wiped his Knight Lance and the one-handed sword, counted the feathered arrows in his quiver, and got everything ready. He mounted his horse, left the small town, and galloped towards the Thorns Ridge.
The Thorns Ridge was an undulating hill.
In fact, it should be two hills joined together. One was a north-south hill, while the other was an east-west hill. There was a small path in the middle, which was the only way to enter and exit the Flower Town.
World of Warcraft appeared in the mountain forest.
However, there were not many of them, especially in this season, when food was plentiful and World of Warcraft rarely went out. Therefore, the small path between the hills was relatively safe. As an Earth Knight, he was not afraid of ordinary wild beasts.
After traveling for less than a kilometer.
Suddenly, he sensed World of Warcraft's aura.
"Why did I encounter World of Warcraft again? I was really unlucky when I encountered the Windblade Wolves previously!" Markus grasped his Knight Lance and nervously watched the direction from which World of Warcraft's aura was spreading.
After waiting for a moment.
World of Warcraft did not show up.
Markus narrowed his eyes. World of Warcraft, which was hidden, was more dangerous than World of Warcraft. He patted the yellow grey horse beneath him and pretended to leave, trying to lure World of Warcraft out.
After traveling for another half a kilometer.
World of Warcraft, which had been following him, finally became impatient and took the initiative to attack him. A tall figure sprang out from the woods beside the small path and fiercely pounced.
Markus had been on guard along the way, so it was naturally impossible for him to be ambushed. Practically at the same time, he turned his horse around and thrust his Knight Lance to meet the attack.
