Report

Liszt intended to build a modern castle.

With rubber and ironwood, many plans could be realized. Of course, there was no money to build a castle, so he had to live for a few days without money.

However, this did not prevent him from planning the castle's building location, floor area, and high-level requirements.

The attached castle was probably the tallest building in a city. The Flower Town's small nameless castle was only two stories high. Generally, nameless castles were two or three stories high.

Most of the castles with names had four stories. Many viscounts and earls would build four-story castles. Outside the four-story main body, there might be taller steeples used for vigilance and defense. Tulip Castle was a four-story castle, but it was built according to the mountainside, looking particularly majestic.

Greater aristocrats generally chose steep mountainside locations to build their castles, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The most magnificent castle Liszt had ever seen was Longtaro Castle. The five-story castle looked like it was integrated with the mountain range, a miracle built of rock.

"From now on, this rocky beach will be the location of the castle. To the east and north, the castle's attached buildings will be built one after another. To the south, a stone road will be built to connect the port city. As for the port city, I hope that its scale will be between that of a large city and a small city. "

Incidentally, Liszt also outlined his idea for the new city.

Normally, a lord's city would develop spontaneously, slowly accumulating population and slowly expanding in scale. Therefore, the city appeared chaotic and unhygienic, with sewage, feces, and urine flowing everywhere. Liszt did not want his city to become a city of feces and urine.

Sewers, toilets, and septic tanks were essential facilities for him to build a new city and a new town.

The separation of the commercial district, workshop district, and residential district was also the urban planning that he advocated. Such a city could be called the light of civilization.

… …

At night.

Liszt summoned the smoke mission: "Now that the location of the new castle has been determined, this is the place."

The threads of fate were pulled, and the smoke turned into snake-like trajectories, twisting together to form a section of Serpentines: "Mission completed. Reward: high-level qi secret manual [Red Sun Rising Fire]."

The high-level qi secret manual had arrived and was probably stored in Tulip Castle.

He immediately paid attention to the new mission.

"Mission: The crystal craftsman Brad has lost his job. All the volcanic glass in the town's inventory has been carved into utensils. His crystal workshop is completely idle. As the lord, you should solve his job problem. Reward: Mutated corn grass. "

"Mutated corn grass?"

The corn grass was currently being cultivated as a pasture. The scale of cultivation was very large, reaching an area of 300 mu. They were often harvested as fodder for the Black Blood Horses and Dragon Breed Cows to provide them with more nutrition.

Liszt's heart skipped a beat. "The mutated corn grass is developing in the direction of potions? Or should I say … corn? "

Corn grass is not corn.

According to the species classification on Earth, corn was domesticated from wild corn grass by humans ten thousand years ago. It was only until today that it became a cereal corn that produced large cobs. This meant that corn grass and corn cobs were somewhat related. In this magical world, it was not impossible for corn grass to mutate into corn.

Compared to the pasture attribute corn grass, the grain attribute corn on the cob was the real divine weapon.

"I remember that corn is not only high-yielding, but it is also the easiest to grow compared to other grains …" Liszt remembered watching some short videos about Africa.

Africans loved to grow corn the most because they could plant it directly in the field. There was no need to weed or fertilize it. When it matured, they would wait for the weeds to wither.

They find that corn can also produce corn cobs!

Corn can be processed into cornmeal to make their staple "sima" – similar to corn paste, which can be eaten by hand.

"It would be great if it really mutated into corn. Black Horse Island is huge and I don't have enough serfs to farm it. But corn, as long as it is planted, I don't care. When harvest time comes, the yield may not be high, but it is better than planting other crops. It will be invaded by grass and there will be no harvest. "

This was a beautiful expectation.

In order to get the possibility of corn cobs, Liszt decided to seriously solve Brad's job.

Brad was a crystal craftsman who carved crystal objects for a living. He had a good income in Coral City and belonged to the wealthy class of civilians. However, because of the confidentiality of the telescope, he was sent to Flower Town by the Count and became a subject of Liszt, settling in Flower Town.

Now the telescope did not need to be made, and volcanic glassware did not need to be made. He had nothing to do all day.

"I originally planned to let Brad make glass in the future, but now it seems that glass can't be studied for a while … Even if it is studied, glass seems to be very brittle and difficult to carve. It seems that glass is' blown 'out." Liszt remembered seeing glass making.

The red-hot glass is blown, expanded, and then artificially shaped to get glass products, such as wine glasses, teacups, jars, etc. In addition, there seems to be a flat pressing method to press the glass solution into flat glass, which is used on the window glass.

Unfortunately, these two production methods and the produced items seem to have nothing to do with Brad's profession. He can't always change his exquisite carving skills to work with high-temperature glass solutions. As for the finished glass, there is no need for further engraving.

"Let him learn other carving arts?" Liszt thought again.

But he quickly rejected it. Craftsmen were basically inherited from generation to generation. It would be very difficult for Brad to change to other carving.

His thinking has become rigid. When he was asked to carve volcanic glass, it was obvious that he was very reluctant.

Moreover, the craft of crystal carving also needs to be constantly practiced to preserve.

"I'll just take out another batch of crystals and let him keep working. Anyway, when the castle is built, a lot of crystal products will be needed to decorate it. When this batch of crystal carving is finished, it's almost time to mine new volcanic glass, which will keep him busy … The five recovered dragon bones are still waiting for me to save them. "

He made a decision.

He can sleep in peace.

… …

Early the next morning.

Riding the chocobo Loki, he went to the meadow and changed to the king of black blood horses – Lightning.

In fact, he no longer needs this ordinary dragon horse mount, but in order to show that the Lord and his followers are with the Knight, he still needs a horse – even the Sapphire Grand Duke has a blue blood horse mount, often charging with his Knight.

Lightning is the link between Liszt and the Knight.

"Go!"

With the retainer Knight, Liszt went straight to the three green tea trees on the northern hillside of the Ice Grass Hill. The green tea was still being picked, and it grew very well in this season.

The tea leaves fried could satisfy Liszt's drinking needs alone.

Casting Magic Eyes, it was easy to see that the largest green tea tree in the middle had already given birth to a sprite worm: "Carl, this green tea tree has already given birth to a sprite worm. Protect it, and notify me immediately once the sprite worm is born."

"Knight's glory favors!"
