Hearing the steward's complaint.
Crooked-Neck Bob, who was waiting on the side, suddenly knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Sir Lord, Bob didn't mean it. There was a strong wind that night and the door of my shed was blown open … Sir Lord, please forgive me, Bob will never let the wind blow open the door again!"
Looking at Bob's sorrowful performance, Liszt had an impression of this person.
Back then, the Flame Mushrooms grew in his shed, and he thought that there was a problem and shoveled a lot of them. Liszt still remembered that because Bob couldn't make the Flame Mushroom ingredients, he only rewarded him with ten silver coins, and more rewards were given to Nash, who researched the ingredients.
"This crooked-neck Bob is fated with the Flame Mushrooms."
Liszt thought about it and did not punish him for the time being. Instead, he brought people into his Flame Mushroom shed. As far as the eye could see, the Flame Mushrooms inside had withered, far less than other Flame Mushroom sheds.
The loss was not big, but it was not small either.
Crooked-Neck Bob, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly ran in. Seeing that Liszt was constantly observing every Flame Mushroom ingredient, he continued to cry bitterly, "Sir Lord, although … although many Flame Mushrooms died, but … but some Flame Mushrooms survived!"
Even if he didn't say it, Liszt could see it.
On the few Flame Mushroom ingredients, there were still a lot of sparsely growing Flame Mushrooms.
Liszt already had a vague guess in his mind, so he went closer to observe. He found that the remaining Flame Mushrooms were very different from normal Flame Mushrooms. That was, the color of the Flame Mushrooms was no longer bright red, but had faded into a dark red.
But after he cast Magic Eyes, he found that the dark red Flame Mushrooms had signs of magic power, far more than normal Flame Mushrooms, almost turning into a dazzling red light.
In other words, this Flame Mushroom looked cold on the outside, leading to its poor appearance, but the fire magic inside was more vigorous.
"The cold-loving Flame Mushroom refers to this kind of Flame Mushroom!" Liszt was delighted. The reward of the smoke mission was right in front of him. "The cold-loving nature explains the nature of the Flame Mushroom. It is not afraid of the cold wind and snow, and because of some mutation, it can condense more fire attribute magic."
This was undoubtedly a high-quality Flame Mushroom that far surpassed the normal Flame Mushroom, and could be used to create a higher quality magic potion.
He immediately ordered, "Whip Crooked Neck Bob ten times as a warning. If he's careless again in the future and causes damage to the Flame Mushroom, it won't just be ten lashes."
When his crooked neck was whipped ten times, his buttocks blossomed.
Liszt then had Thomas hand over ten silver coins to the other party. "A blessing in disguise, Crooked-Neck Bob. Although your family's Flame Mushroom was severely damaged, it also mutated into a new type of Flame Mushroom. I named it the Snow Flame Mushroom. These ten silver coins are your reward."
With snot and tears running down his face, Bob immediately ignored the pain in his butt and reached out to take the silver coin. "Ah, thank you, Sir Lord! Praise the great Sir Lord!"
Liszt immediately issued a new order, "Whoever finds the right ingredients for the Icy Flame Mushroom will be rewarded with a gold coin."
Just like the ingredients for the Flame Mushroom, a gold coin was enough to set off the ambitions of all serfs.
After he left.
As expected, the shiitake settlement was boiling.
Countless serfs rubbed their fists, ready to go all out.
Especially Nash, who had received a gold coin as a reward. With this gold coin, the old bachelor not only married a wife, but also built two new Flame Mushroom greenhouses and became a big farmer in the shiitake settlement.
After hearing the reward from the Sir Lord, he announced loudly to the people around him, "If I can find the ingredients for the Flame Mushroom, I can also find the ingredients for the Icy Flame Mushroom. This Nalda, I, Old Nash, will take it!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
"Yes, you were lucky to get the reward from the Sir Lord. This time it's my turn!"
"Old Nash, you'd better concentrate on dealing with your little wife. Don't let her make a cuckold of you. You still have to look at me to research the ingredients."
Bob, whose neck was crooked from the whipping, wasn't willing to be outdone. "I lost to Old Nash last time, but I definitely won't do it again. The Flame Mushrooms were grown in my shed, and the Ice Flame Mushrooms were also grown in my shed. Nalda's reward should belong to me! Damn that old Nash! "
… …
In the afternoon.
In the castle's study.
Zambrotta rubbed his toes a little awkwardly.
Then he took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. "This study is as warm as spring, but there is no burning charcoal. Sir Baron, Flower Town is full of surprises, and your castle is full of surprises."
Behind the desk, Liszt leisurely held a cup of milk tea and asked with a smile, "So, Mr. Zambrotta, can you guess why the study is warm?"
"I guess it's magic." Zambrotta replied solemnly.
He learned from Gort that Liszt valued his encyclopedic knowledge. He knew that today's meeting was a test.
If he couldn't show enough to impress the other party, this trip would be in vain.
In order to recover, in order to live, he must be careful. "And I guess this kind of magic is also in public bathrooms. It's probably a kind of fire magic that heats the water and the temperature in the room. This kind of method is incredible. I've only heard of wizards in the palace who can do it. "
"Well."
Liszt didn't deny it and continued to ask, "Have you been to many countries?"
"Yes, I have been to the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom and seven vassal states. When I was young, I liked to travel around the continent, but due to limited financial resources, I only traveled around the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom."
"I heard that there is an evil dragon in the Grand Duchy of Maple Leaf, do you know?"
"Oh, it's a light dragon that has lived in the Red Maple Mountain for a hundred years. During this period, many warriors wanted to kill it and get the title of Dragon Slayer alongside the Dragon Knight. But you know, the power of the dragon is endless, and most of the warriors eventually … become dragon dung. "
"Is the light dragon difficult to deal with? It is said that the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf is the Dragon Knight. Why not kill this evil dragon?"
"The dragon of the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf is just an iron dragon. He can't even find the hiding place of the light dragon. There is no hope of killing the light dragon … In fact, there are many evil dragons on the continent, but most of them are elemental dragons, which are more powerful than metal dragons and gem dragons."
Basically, gem dragons and metal dragons are production units, while elemental dragons are combat units.
"Can you tell me about the customs of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom and its vassal states?" Liszt said gently. He did feel that Zambrotta had a wealth of knowledge.
Zambrotta got up and bowed slightly. "As you wish, Lord Baron."
