After returning to the Flower Town, Liszt busied himself. First, he placed the fig worm stalk in the castle's garden and instructed the servants to fertilize and water it.
Then, at the luncheon, he summoned all of the town's officials and announced a general survey: "Check all the crops in the fief. No sprite worms have been bred for more than a month, there may be some that have been overlooked."
The general survey was just a cover to conceal his knowledge of the sprite worm's existence in advance.
In the afternoon, he joined the general survey and patrolled the Flower Town. Of course, he was selective in his patrolling. Soon, he patrolled the smoke grass field, released Magic Eyes, and began to look for the worm stalk. Not long after, he easily saw the worm stalk in a corner of the farmland.
To be precise, he also saw the sprite worm.
The worm stalk was not very conspicuous, but its branches and leaves were exuberant, with a chubby gray sprite worm crawling on it: "It has actually been bred. It seems that it happened during the time I was away … Perhaps the farmland was fertilized too much, greatly increasing the probability of the Flower Town's sprite worm breeding."
Normally, a small town could produce a sprite worm in a year, which was already a good harvest.
Because of the smoke mission, the Flower Town greatly increased the survival rate of sprite worms, making them almost impossible to miscarry.
As for why a plant could breed a sprite worm, there was not yet enough data to analyze and make a judgment – it might be related to nutrition. However, the most nutritious plants might not necessarily breed sprite worms, while malnourished plants might also breed sprite worms.
"My four Snake Blood Fruit Worms were bred from the blood of a snake-type sea monster, which is probably a clue … Unfortunately, I still don't understand what conditions trigger the breeding of sprite worms … Magic power radiation? Nutritional stimulation? Or genetic mutation? "
A thought flashed by.
He had already taken out jade powder and sprinkled it on the leaves of the smoke grass worm stalk, attracting the smoke grass worm. Watching the smoke grass worm energetically lick the jade powder, he stretched out the finger smeared with the jade powder. Then, it was bitten. It was not very painful, nor was it bleeding.
The next moment, a telepathic contract was established, and he could already feel the little fellow's vague emotions.
It was happy because it ate the jade powder.
"Pack it up." Liszt picked up the smoke grass worm and gave it to the retainer Knight to put in a jade box, "Röhm, protect this smoke grass worm stalk."
"Yes, Sir!" Röhm responded with a very excited expression, "Flower Town is really a place of Knight glory. Sir is born to be a Knight glory!"
Liszt had heard so much about the topic of the knight's glory that his ears were going to get calluses. However, he felt every time he listened, he didn't get bored.
He contracted the smoke grass worm.
The Blackberry Worm and Pea Worm could only wait for now. The worm stalk's distribution range was too wide, and there was no way to find it. They could only wait patiently for the reports from the civilians.
He planned to sail to Black Horse Island tomorrow to complete the smoke mission and contract the Green Tea Bug.
He had not left the smoke grass field.
Hearing that he had contracted a new sprite worm, Gort quickly rushed over and flattered him.
Liszt did not lose himself in the flattery. He still kept a clear head and casually asked, "Consultant Gort, how do you deal with the smoke grass in the town?"
"It's mainly used to be dried and stacked in an open space, then wrapped in wheat straw. It's not very useful normally."
Smoke Grass was extremely smelly. It might be effective against World of Warcraft and wild beasts. Now that the Flower Town had razed the Thorns Ridge to the ground, let alone World of Warcraft, there were not even a few stray cats to be seen. Therefore, the smoke grass was basically useless. The hay that had been harvested was piled in the clearing and left to rot.
But.
Even if the smoke grasses were really useless, Liszt would not cut them down because they were the only good thing that could attract the invisible dragon.
Rationally, he concluded that the possibility of the invisible dragon returning to the Flower Town was very small. However, inwardly, he was still looking forward to the day when the invisible dragon would recall the smell of the smoke grass and return.
At that time …
"The smoke grass still has its value. Don't slack off when it comes to planting. Now that we have the smoke grass worm, we'll maintain an area of 100 mu. Also, arrange for people to study the use of the smoke grass. Don't ignore it just because it smells bad. "Liszt pondered for a moment and said," I'll give you an idea. "
"Sir, please instruct us."
"If the smoke grass can smoke away World of Warcraft, then have you ever considered diluting and reducing its smell so that people can't smell it, yet it can drive away mosquitoes?" He thought of a plant on Earth – mugwort.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people would hang mugwort on their doorsteps.
Normally, many people would burn mugwort to drive away mosquitoes, or crush it into powder to fill pillows and sachets. The moxa sticks used in acupuncture were also made of mugwort.
There was probably no mugwort in this world. Therefore, Liszt wondered whether the smoke grass would have the same effect: "You can start your research from this aspect … In short, you have to think about the possibilities of these plants."
Gort flattered: "Sir, you always have a genius idea! I will arrange for the serfs to study whether the smoke grass can drive away mosquitoes as soon as possible. "
When Liszt gave him an idea, Liszt would only think about it. He had no intention of using his brain at all.
Without experiencing the baptism of the Industrial Revolution, human thinking would only be limited to the established rules and regulations. Liszt felt very helpless about this.
… …
Fierydragon was about to give birth.
One-eyed Barton, who already had a lame leg, was very worried. He went to the stable on crutches from his sickbed and personally took charge of Fierydragon's delivery.
Liszt patrolled Flower Town. In the evening, he came to visit his old partner – Fierydragon was his birthday gift, his Knight's dream, and his entanglement of father-son feelings.
The transmigrator Liszt also liked this docile filly very much.
However, ever since he tamed Blackdragon, Fierydragon's appearances became less and less, and it gradually became a breeding tool. Stroking its fiery red mane, Liszt couldn't help but whisper: "After you give birth, I will ride you and gallop again."
Fierydragon seemed to understand his words. It gently rubbed its head against Liszt's arm and made a slight sound, "Humph."
Liszt and Fierydragon were intimate for a moment.
Liszt looked at One-eyed Barton, who was on crutches: "Barton, how is your leg injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Barton's leg is lame, but his body has recovered. I hope Master does not mind. Barton can continue to raise horses and drive for Master."
"Of course, you can continue to raise horses for me. After a while, I will build a castle on Black Horse Island. At that time, you will have more horses to raise. It may be very hard."
"I am not afraid of hard work. Please rest assured, Master, Barton will definitely keep the castle's horses strong and healthy!" One-eyed Barton said excitedly.
To him, being able to work in the castle was the best outcome.
Everyone envies the work in the castle – of course, it would be better if the group of Blizzard Beasts could stay away. Barton felt a faint pain in his calf when he thought of those crazy big dogs. It was as if a crazy Blizzard Beast had released a rock spike and pierced it.
"Take good care of your injuries and leave the hard work to the five men who have learned to raise horses." Whether it is for compensation or Barton's talent in raising horses, Liszt will continue to hire One-eyed Barton.
