If World of Warcraft could be trained, then a few monkeys could naturally be trained as well. For a Knight who possessed qi, beasts were no different from kittens and puppies.
However, there were currently only five people in the Flower Town who possessed qi – Liszt, Markus, Gort, Isaiah, and Blair.
Each of them had their own duties, so it was impossible for them to become beast tamers.
"It seems that it is time to select a few strong youngsters from the town's commoners, teach them qi, and become my retainer Knight."
As long as he could afford to raise a retainer Knight, Liszt could even form an Orders of Chivalry.
However, due to the castle's financial and material limitations, he could at most raise a dozen retainer Knight and form a squad of Knight. This was his plan. The greatest use of the Knight squad was to clean up the Thorns Ridge's World of Warcraft. The Thorns Ridge would be incorporated into the Flower Town and become his territory.
"Once the oyster settlement's food supply stabilizes and the castle's tax revenue stabilizes, then immediately train the retainer Knight."
Carl Hammerstein's four retainer Knight s did not possess qi, their potential was already wasted, and they were not worth nurturing. The new retainer Knight had to be nurtured from youngsters to cultivate qi and become a true Knight.
He was enjoying the shade and thinking about the development plan.
Gort, who was next to him, could not help but wipe his sweat with a handkerchief. He had to wear a neat aristocratic three-piece suit every day, so he was extremely hot: "Liszt, the fishermen have finished their inspection and everything is going smoothly. Should we go back?"
Liszt was also very hot.
This weather was really not a good time to go out. He nodded: "Alright, let's go back." He was not a spoiled person, but if he could enjoy it, then why should he feel wronged? As a lord, he had the power to kill in his fief. There was no need to show off the qualities of being 'close to the people' and 'dedicated'.
Bloodline and qi were the foundation of aristocracy.
On the way back, Liszt inspected the construction of the settlement's roads. There was a lot of sand, but transporting it was rather difficult. Commoners could only use buckets and basins to transport the sand, which was not very efficient.
But no matter what, the road was taking shape.
Just as he passed by the flower farm, a stench suddenly floated over from afar. It drilled into Liszt's nose and almost made him vomit.
The Flaming Dragon Horse beneath him was also sneezing nonstop, looking like it couldn't take it anymore.
"Ah, it's too smelly. What's this smell?"
"Who made that weird smell?"
Several retainer Knight also covered their noses, wishing they could puke on the spot.
"Who's cleaning their toilet?" Liszt recalled the fragrant smell of dung he picked up in the countryside when he was a child. At this time, the smell was even stronger, but he quickly responded, "There are no toilets in the Flower Town, nor are there any septic tanks. The dung I picked up shouldn't have such a smell."
He pinched his nose and said to the retainer Knight, "Carl, the four of you go investigate where the smell is coming from."
After a while, Carl returned with a blade of grass in his hand: "Sir, the reason has been found."
He raised the blade of grass in his hand: "It's this blade of grass. A few children on the farm were messing around and pulled out a lot of this blade of grass from a wasteland. Who knew that this blade of grass would emit such a disgusting stench."
While speaking, an even stronger stench drilled into Liszt's nose. The source was the blade of grass in Carl's hand.
Liszt endured the stench, but his eyes were shining: "Is this blade of grass very large?"
"Yes."
"Good, very good! Carl, immediately notify Gort to protect this blade of grass. Do not allow anyone to approach it, let alone harm it! "
Although puzzled, the retainer Knight still obeyed the order.
After giving the order, Liszt was in a great mood.
The valet Thomas couldn't help but ask: "Master, why do you feel happy about such a smelly blade of grass?"
"You don't understand. This blade of grass is very useful."
He returned to the castle. While taking a cold bath, he checked the smoke Serpentines, wanting to see if the mission had been updated. He originally believed that he would have to change all the fishermen's equipment before the mission could be considered completed. But now, the mission reward of a large blade of smoke grass had already been obtained, indicating that the mission had been completed.
Sure enough, after the smoke came out, the Serpentines updated: "Mission completed. Reward: a large blade of smoke grass."
After a short moment, the smoke Serpentines had already changed into: "Mission: The newly reclaimed corn field has already been sown. The corn worm is impatient to breathe fresh air. It is a brave little fellow. Please help the corn worm settle down its worm stalk. Reward: a forgotten secret qi skill. "
"A forgotten secret qi skill? It's not a secret qi skill, but a secret skill. Does this mean that the reward is only a big move? "Liszt guessed.
The secret skill contained the method to refine and use qi, as well as many kinds of qi moves.
Secret qi skills were relatively more powerful moves. They were somewhat similar to the ultimate profoundness of secret qi skills and could be understood as big moves.
However, because of the cryptic and hidden inheritance, as well as the great difficulty in learning them, it was very difficult for small aristocrats to pass down secret skills from generation to generation.
The Tulip family didn't have secret skills passed down. The Red Crab Island Marquis family also didn't have any since their rise.
Only an old marquis family could possibly have a secret skill or two.
But it was undeniable that the value of a secret skill was enormous. Ultimate profoundness was the strongest move of every secret qi skill, but it was limited to mid-grade and high-grade secret skills. The power of ultimate profoundness was naturally limited. Secret skills were different. The stronger the qi, the more powerful they would be.
Liszt was very satisfied: "Not bad, not bad. Although I don't like fighting and killing, having a secret skill can greatly increase my battle strength and reduce the possibility of encountering danger."
"I just don't know what kind of secret qi skill it will be. However, I'll know in a moment."
So far, the smoke mission didn't have any super difficult content. It was basically the daily work that Liszt was supposed to do. This time was the same. The corn fields had been reclaimed in order to settle down the corn worms. Whether there was a mission or not, Liszt would do it.
Soon after, he thought of another question: "Will this mission be a chain mission of the invisible dragon series?"
… …
Three days later, the oyster settlement's fishermen could steadily gather seafood at the sea, harvesting a large amount of seafood every time.
A portion of the seafood quickly entered the commoners' dining tables, replacing the fishermen's need for bread and minimizing the town's grain consumption.
But there was no place to store more seafood.
"Liszt, we have to think of a way. There is too much seafood on the east coast. The fishermen can't finish the seafood they catch, and it could go bad at any time." Gort found Liszt and began to worry.
In this regard, Liszt was quite speechless: "Since it can't be finished, then we have to think of a way to turn the seafood into dried goods and preserve it … Now is not a good season to make dried goods. Summer and autumn are more suitable … Before the dried goods season, then we should stop fishing. The seafood won't disappear from the sea."
Without a cold storage and a sufficient amount of salt to preserve it, dried goods were the best way to store it.
Now that the weather was too hot, dried goods could easily go bad. Therefore, it was better to catch less seafood and catch as much as there was to eat. This way, there wouldn't be excessive fishing in the sea.
After saying that, Liszt's tone was a bit stern, expressing his dissatisfaction: "Teacher Gort, I am the lord and you are an official. I need you to govern the Flower Town for me instead of looking for the lord whenever something happens, understand?"
