"Increase the supply of nutrients? Just like you did in your territory, collect the excrement, and then water the plants … Sorry, Liszt, many people don't quite understand what you do in your territory. "The count frowned.
Liszt said calmly: "I have heard people call me 'Dung Vegetable Baron' behind my back, and even call Flower Town 'Big Dung Town'. This is just their ignorance. You know the Wizard's Triangle Theory, which believes that matter, magic, and spirit are a cycle. In fact, nature is the biggest cycle. "
"Explain in detail."
"Let me give you an example. Grass sprouts from the ground and is eaten by a sheep. After the sheep digests the food, it produces excrement. Where there is excrement, grass tends to grow very vigorously. Because the excrement is decomposed by invisible tiny organisms and becomes nutrients for the plants. In this way, a complete biological chain is formed. "
Next.
Liszt had to recall the biological knowledge he learned in high school and junior high school, and explain to the count who asked all kinds of strange questions.
He answered questions such as "Why does grass grow on excrement", "The sheep is the consumer, so does it pay", "What does photosynthesis mean? The sun is very hot and I am photosynthesizing", "How can you guarantee that the sheep has to shit on the grass, it can give to the trees", and so on.
In the end, there was no need for Liszt to summarize.
The count had already summed it up himself: "So, vegetables grown from excrement are the best?"
"Yes, father, you can try it in your territory. The vigorous development of Flower Town explains everything. I am called Dung Vegetable Baron by others, but now I am a young viscount and an elite Earth Knight. I have more than twenty sprite worms and two lesser sprites in my territory! "
"You are indeed favored by the glory of the Knight."
"Of course I am favored by the glory of the Knight, but you should also see that in addition to the glory of the Knight, scientific farming is also very helpful."
The count pondered for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense. I will try to grow crops with excrement in my territory. I can try to grow the food that the serfs eat. However, I will only choose the food cultivated by the sprites in Tulip Castle. That is the food that I can rest assured about. "
That was it.
Whether the Count believed it or not, Liszt said no more.
After all, they were not real relatives, and he still had a barrier in his heart against the Earl and the others.
…
He didn't see Levis, who had already gone out to invite guests. After leaving the study, he went straight to the small castle next to Coral City to give the gift to his grandmother.
Lvera was there as well.
She was almost always in Tulip Castle or Little Castle, rarely returning to her own territory.
"Sister, are you here too? It just so happens that I've brought some low-level sea monster meat that I just caught for grandmother. There's about five kilograms of it. You and grandmother can taste it together. "Liszt asked someone to send the meat to the small castle's kitchen.
"Are you here to help Tulip Castle?" Lvera asked.
"Yes."
Madam Penélope was very happy to see her grandson arrive: "Our family's glorious child has sent me meat, and the meat of a low-level sea monster at that. This always warms the heart of an old woman like me … If your mother had done this, I think she would have been a qualified Countess."
"In fact, I not only brought you sea monster meat, but also a necklace of black pearls that can calm the mind." He took the box handed over by the servant and took out a necklace of black pearls that looked like prayer beads.
"This is a black pearl, the kind that can disperse wind-attributed magic?" Lvera exclaimed, "It's really beautiful, such a bright black. Although it's not a gem, it's rounder than ordinary jade and crystal. Such a necklace is simply beautiful to the extreme! "
Liszt put the necklace of black pearls around Madam Penélope's neck: "It sets off your temperament, grandmother."
"I'm already over seventy years old, I don't have any temperament." Despite saying so, Madam Penélope got up and went to the mirror.
Carefully looking in the mirror, she happily looked at the necklace of black pearls around her neck.
Lvera pulled Liszt and asked: "Do you still have a necklace of black pearls?"
"I'm sorry, sister. It's not easy to collect so many black pearls. I believe that on your birthday next year, I will certainly be able to collect a new necklace of black pearls and give it to you as a gift."
Lvera smiled with satisfaction.
Soon.
Madam Penélope had already admired the necklace of black pearls and hung it around her neck, not taking it off. Perhaps she was worried that her granddaughter would snatch it away.
She sat down and said with a smile: "Speak, Liszt, what are you going to take from grandmother?"
"I just came to give you a gift, that's all."
"If you just brought me the meat of a low-level sea monster, I believe that you are simple. However, such a necklace does not have such a simple purpose."
"Well, I can't hide anything from you, grandmother." Liszt coughed, "I don't know if grandmother has heard, but Viscount Yunas is preparing to sell two sprite worms to ease the financial pressure on his territory. A black nightshade sprite worm and a flytrap worm. I want to buy them, but I am short of money. "
The meaning was clear.
Madam Penélope directly asked: "How much do you need?"
"I estimate that I can buy these two sprite worms for about 2,000 gold coins. Therefore, grandmother, you can lend me 2,000 gold coins."
"2,000 gold coins is not a small number. Do you really want to buy these two sprite worms? The black nightshade sprite worm is somewhat useful, its fruit can be eaten, but the flytrap worm is useless and can only be used as a potted ornament. "Said Madam Penélope.
The type of auxiliary magic ingredient, the black nightshade, was still a secret. No one knew that the black nightshade also produced a magic ingredient.
Therefore, the value of the black nightshade sprite worm was not high.
"I need them. In my opinion, each sprite worm, as long as it is properly used, can display great value. Just like my thorns sprite Ella, it used to be a thorns sprite worm, but now it has become the brightest gem in my territory. "
"Since you have decided, well, I will raise the 2,000 gold coins as soon as possible." Madam Penélope agreed to lend the gold coins, and then said, "The interest of 2,000 gold coins cannot be exchanged for this black pearl necklace. They are more precious than the white pearl necklace. Then, you can take away another potted plant."
Every time he came to grandmother.
He would never return empty-handed, so a potted plant was a must.
Liszt walked to the balcony with anticipation, activated Magic Eyes, and carefully observed the potted plants. However, he was disappointed. There was no sign of magic in any of the potted plants.
So.
He collected his mood and chose a pot of blueberries that were growing more vigorously and slightly useful.
Blueberries are a relatively common fruit and taste good. There are a lot of blueberries in this pot. He can try to use its fruit to plant a batch on Black Horse Island.
"When I return to Flower Town, I will take this potted plant with me. Now, grandmother, please continue to take care of it."
So.
