Just as Liszt settled the wheat sprite worm's worm stalk, the wheat settlement's steward, Gajeel, suddenly told him something: "Sir Lord, I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Please say it." Liszt's eyes lit up. He felt that the steward might want to reveal information about the invisible dragon.
Gajeel, however, said: "Sir Lord, I found three very strange grasses in the wheat settlement's wasteland. They are extremely tall, two or three meters tall, and are green and oily. Our chickens are very fond of eating their leaves."
"It's corn!"
Liszt immediately realized that the steward was not providing clues about the invisible dragon, but three wild corn. He immediately ordered the steward to take him there. Corn, the corn he was looking forward to.
But when he arrived before the wild corn, Liszt fell into doubt.
"Gajeel, how long has it been since you found these three grasses?"
"It's been three months."
"Has it always looked like this?"
"Yes, Sir Lord."
Liszt habitually touched the Redblood Sword hanging at his waist.
He had always kept this sword close to him. The ruby's magic power constantly stimulated his fire-attributed qi, nourishing it and strengthening it. In other words, he was cultivating all the time while carrying a sword. If he ate more magic potions in the future, he might be able to become a Sky Knight.
Liszt couldn't help but look at the three wild corn.
The corn in front of him was not a straight pole. It had a few leaves, a cluster of flowers at the top, and one or two cobs in the middle. Instead, it was randomly divided into a few poles, and each pole had a cluster of flowers on top of it. As for the corn cob in the middle, there were a few tiny toothpicks instead.
The toothpicks were segmented, and each segment was a grass seed.
"Don't tell me that wild corn looks like this. This is not corn, this is wheat!" Liszt was very hurt. He knew very well that the three wild corn were the three grasses in front of him.
But he couldn't accept it.
What happened to the big, plump corn cob?!
"This is grass for livestock to eat … Hmm, I remember now. These three stalks of wild corn seem to be called Mexican corn grass?"
Liszt, who had planted crops in his hometown, remembered that someone in the village had planted some kind of pigweed, which was for pigs to eat. It was called Mexican corn grass, and it was said to be a very high-yielding pasture that pigs, cows, and sheep especially liked to eat.
"That should be it. If it's real corn, there's no need to put the word 'wild' in front of it. Corn doesn't seem to have any wild varieties. It's artificially cultivated for millions of years." After he understood this point, he could only sigh in his heart and comfort himself. "At least I got a high-yielding pasture. It's not a loss."
Get rid of your depressed mood.
Liszt put on the reserved smile of a noble again. "Gajeel, according to my judgment, this grass is called corn grass. It's a very high-yielding and popular pasture for livestock. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and sheep all like to eat it. From now on, you have to take good care of it. I need its seeds. "
"Yes, Sir Lord! Gajeel will take good care of the corn grass and not let any serfs or livestock get close to it! "
"That's good. I will inform Teacher Gort. When the time comes, he will make further arrangements. You just have to cooperate."
"Yes, Sir Lord."
Glancing at the Mexican corn grass again, Liszt took a deep breath and raised his horsewhip: "Return!"
The Little Wheat Sprite's worm stalk was settled very smoothly. So far, the Peanut Sprite, Alfalfa Sprite, Tulip Sprite, and Wheat Sprite Sprite had all been properly settled.
As for the remaining thorns sprite sprite, it was unknown where to go. The Corn Sprite Sprite's corn field was still being planned.
In any case, the elves would receive the best care.
… …
On the way back, Liszt bumped into Markus, who was about to come to the castle to see him.
"Teacher Markus, what's the matter?"
"Sir, I heard from Sir Gort that you asked him about the invisible dragon?"
"Oh, you know about the invisible dragon?"
"I have heard of it." Markus said earnestly, "I read about it in a half-torn Knight novel. I don't know the name of the novel, but I read it when I was very young."
"Is that so? What is the description of the invisible dragon?" Liszt knew that the wheat sprite sprite mission was completed and the reward was coming.
Markus said: "In the novel, in addition to the Gem Dragon, Metal Dragon, and Elemental Dragon, there is also a kind of dragon called the Sacred Dragon. The invisible dragon is a kind of Sacred Dragon. It is transparent and no one can see its appearance. Wherever it goes, it brings endless disasters. "
"Disasters? Then why is it called the Sacred Dragon? "
"Because it can produce a very special gem."
"A special gem? Then it should be classified as a Gem Dragon. Right, what is a special gem? Does it have any different power?"
"This gem is related to a legendary equipment. Sir, have you heard of the Space Ring? It is a small ring that can hold a lot of things. "
There are also Space Rings in this world?
Liszt searched the memory of his predecessor, but he had not heard of it. He said: "No. Then, are Space Rings real? Or, can the gems produced by the invisible dragon be used to make Space Rings? "
"I don't know whether Space Rings exist or not. Even if they exist, they are priceless treasures that only true great aristocrats can possess." Markus said, "In the Knight novel I read, it indeed says that wherever the invisible dragon goes, apart from endless disasters, it will also leave behind the gems it produces. Whoever picks them up will have a Space Ring."
"And then?"
"And then there is nothing else."
"Is there no more information about the invisible dragon in the book?"
"No, and I think it is just a fabricated story. You know, many of the novels that enlighten us about the glory of the Knight are blindly written by novelists." Markus specially came to tell Liszt this information, but obviously, he did not believe in the existence of the invisible dragon.
Liszt could not deny this and continued to ask: "Then, what about other Sacred Dragons?"
"I don't know. Half of the book is missing. I only read a small part of the content. It only introduced the invisible dragon, a kind of Sacred Dragon."
After Markus left.
Liszt still did not understand.
What was the meaning of the mission reward and information about the invisible dragon?
Was it just to tell him about the invisible dragon through the mission? Or did it mean that there was an invisible dragon nearby that could be captured? Or was it to say that the invisible dragon was going to attack the Flower Town and should be prepared? Of course, it was also possible that the invisible dragon was going to deliver equipment, a space ring?
While pondering, the smoke before his eyes reappeared.
"Mission completed. Reward: information about the invisible dragon."
After a moment of distortion, a new mission was issued: "Mission: Did the sudden appearance of wild corn in the wheat settlement attract your attention? Lord, you need to think about why wild corn grew in the wheat settlement. Perhaps there is more wild corn in the vicinity. Please find the origin of the wild corn. Reward: new information about the invisible dragon. "
Quickly, Liszt's attention was focused on the new mission reward.
