After seeing off the exhausted Markus, Liszt retracted his thoughts from his memories. Admittedly, an aristocrat's major responsibility was to expand their social network, and the Taro family was one of his important resources. However, he himself was not a diplomatic person. He preferred to stay in his territory, entertain himself, and be self-sufficient.
"First, I should practice the qi secret manual and complete the smoke mission."
First, he opened the [Fire Fluctuations Fluctuations Flames]. Through a large number of illustrations and descriptions, it explained how to strengthen fire-attributed qi, as well as how to circulate qi in coordination with powerful moves. [Fire Fluctuations Fluctuations Flames] tended to be big and wide. Most of its moves spread out in the form of undulations. It belonged to the group attack secret manual.
"Group attack, it's suitable for charging on the battlefield. However, shouldn't the charge be done by my Orders of Chivalry? It would be fine for me to command from the rear."
While thinking, Liszt opened the [Fierydragon Drill] secret manual.
This was a one-on-one secret manual. Its powerful moves were all for one-on-one duels. They were full of lethality, and were somewhat insufficient for charging on the battlefield. However, Liszt quickly decided to practice the [Fire Dragon Drill] secret manual. Compared to going on the battlefield, he was more worried about assassins. The [Fierydragon Drill] secret manual for one-on-one duels was more suitable than the [Fire Fluctuations Fluctuations Flames] secret manual for group attacks.
"It's decided then … Wait for me to spare some energy, then study the [Fire Fluctuations Fluctuations Flames] secret manual."
In this world, there were no secret manuals. For qi cultivation, there were no particularly bad secret manuals, nor were there particularly strong secret manuals. Everything depended on one's talent and understanding.
Commoners could produce exceptional experts, but the descendants of experts could also be reduced to mediocrity.
… …
In the following time, Liszt practiced the [Fierydragon Drill] secret manual while waiting for the caravan to arrive.
In a flash, three days had passed.
The rain had already stopped.
Good news came one after another.
The peanut settlement's peanut sprite worm was about to mature. Retainer Knight Carl Hammerstein excitedly reported: "Sir, a crack has already opened on the peanut sprite worm's big bud. Inside, a pink peanut sprite worm is about to wake up. Its body has already begun to tremble."
"Is that so? I'll hurry over!"
By the time Liszt hurried over on horseback, the flower bud had already bloomed. A pink sprite worm with a sparkling and translucent luster all over its body was crawling on top of the peanut worm stalk with infinite curiosity towards the world.
The peanut settlement's serfs crowded around, looking at the sprite worm with curiosity and nervousness.
Liszt took out the jade powder he carried with him and sprinkled it in front of the peanut worm. The peanut worm sniffed it and quickly began to chew on the jade powder. After a short while, the jade powder on the leaf was finished. The peanut maggot followed the smell and climbed onto Liszt's finger, gnawing on the jade powder on his finger.
Then, with a slight pain, the peanut worm had bitten through Liszt's finger.
"Come with me, little guy."
Liszt placed the sprite worm into a jade box, intending to bring it back to the castle to feed it. As for the worm stalk, it was fine to leave it in the peanut settlement.
"The fifth sprite worm is in hand. With the peanut worm, the peanut settlement's bountiful harvest is at hand." Liszt was in a great mood. He could not help but exhort Elder George, "Elder George, take good care of the peanut worm stalk. Do not forget to water and fertilize it. The more fertilizer you spread, the higher the yield of the peanuts."
"Sir Lord, please be at ease. We will definitely water, weed, and fertilize the peanuts according to your instructions!"
The peanut worm worm was collected.
Another good thing was about to happen. On the seventh day after Liszt fed it, the Flyingdust Dog pup raised in the castle finally opened its eyes. At first glance, it saw Liszt. It howled and pounced at him, intimately rubbing against his trousers.
"Dosen, from now on, you will have to move outside the castle."
While holding the leash around Dosen's neck, Liszt called for Thomas.
"My Lord."
"Thomas, I have a task for you. Feed Dosen for me. By the way, has Dosen's kennel been built? "
"It has been built, My Lord." Thomas took the leash and prepared to take Dosen to the kennel.
Although Dosen recognized Liszt as its master, it did not mean that it recognized others as its master. When Thomas led it, the Flyingdust Dog pup, which was estimated to be less than a month old, immediately bared its fangs and growled. It ferociously pounced at Thomas, tearing at his shoes. Its bestial nature was very strong.
However, Dosen, which still had a mouth full of milk teeth, simply could not tear Thomas's shoes.
"Take good care of it."
"My Lord, please be at ease. I have experience in raising hounds."
"Flyingdust Dogs are much more dangerous than hounds. It has World of Warcraft bloodline. However, it does not matter, it should not go berserk. When it is a bit older, I will train it every day until it is exhausted."
Arrangements were made for Dosen's breeder.
Liszt climbed to the castle's spire and looked down at the wasteland in a radius of a few kilometers around the castle. He had overlooked the fact that there was land that could be reclaimed around the castle. However, in fact, only a few acres of land on the edge of the castle could be turned into a small garden. The rest of the land was left to grow weeds.
"Peanut settlement, tomato settlement, shiitake settlement, barley settlement, small barley settlement, dairy farm, flower farm, as well as the town and the castle. In fact, the Flower Town has nine settlements. Each settlement has to be put to use … However, without mechanization, and with less than 2,000 people in the Flower Town, it seems that it really cannot cultivate so much land."
Machines could continuously cultivate land, but manpower was very slow.
With less than 2,000 people, cultivating more than 10,000 square kilometers of land, which was close to 18 million acres, was indeed frightening. Many of the farmlands were just scattered with seeds and left to fend for themselves.
"Africa's agriculture is only this much, right? Population, ah, population, only population is the most precious resource! But where am I going to get enough people? "
"It is a bit difficult."
Despite the difficulty, Liszt was still very confident that the Flower Town could develop and grow. As a transmigrator with a cheat, if he couldn't even do this, then he might as well jump off a building and not lose face for transmigrators.
… …
"Fire Dragon Assault!"
In the small garden in front of the castle, Liszt held a one-handed sword in his hand and performed a move from the 《Fire Dragon Drill》. A flame suddenly ignited on the blade of the sword and spread to a radius of one meter with a whistling sound. It was like a fan fanning fire. The flame shot out in all directions and was accompanied by a light crackling sound.
The flame was not real, it was just the effect of qi attached to the one-handed sword.
Liszt's fire-attributed qi had an explosive nature.
Even if it was the same type of qi, it would still have a different emphasis on its nature. For example, fire-attributed qi, his emphasis was on explosive nature, while others' might focus on high temperature, fire power, condensation, and so on.
"I finally mastered the Fire Dragon Assault. Now, I only lack the final move – Heart of Fire Dragon Drill. After I master it, I can get the reward!"
Liszt was very proud of himself.
His talent was still very strong. The [Fire Dragon Drill] was divided into two sets of skills. One set was the method to refine qi, and the other set was the sixteen offensive moves. Liszt easily learned the method to operate qi. Now, he was learning the sixteen offensive moves.
"Others take at least half a month to learn a secret manual, but I finished it in less than a week."
"It is hard to imagine that my predecessor was not able to break through to the Earth Knight realm before reaching adulthood. Could it be that his perception was too poor?"
If his physical talent was not bad, then it could only be attributed to the problem of perception. Before reaching adulthood, Liszt had probably been brainless. Now, Liszt might not dare to say that he was extremely smart, but he was definitely not stupid.
