The oyster settlement's wooden houses had yet to be built, but the fishermen's fishing was progressing smoothly.
The construction of roads in the settlements and the town was not fast, but they were being laid every day.
The dairy farm's low-yielding and low-nutritious two-leaf grass had been completely eradicated and replaced with high-yielding and high-nutritious alfalfa. The ten cows were very fond of the new grass, and their milk production had increased by a lot.
The alfalfa in the horse farm outside the castle had also begun to flourish. Only, there were no pregnant mares and Blackdragon had yet to enter the estrus period.
The peanut settlement's peanuts were growing well. The peanuts near the peanut worm stalk were about to be harvested. It was estimated that two batches of peanuts a year would not be a problem.
The flower farm's Black Tulip had already begun to bear fruit. It was a kind of small capsule (dried fruit), but it had yet to split open. Once it split open, there would be many flaky seeds, which could be propagated in large quantities. With the influence of the Tulip worm's worm stalk, the Black Tulip had more than thirty fruits.
It was estimated that it could propagate several mu of land in one go. Then, it would be handed over to the Tulip Castle's greater sprite Xiangxiang to continue propagating it. In less than half a year, it could be planted on a large scale.
If it was an ordinary farming method, it might not be able to reach such a scale even after several years. This was the ability of sprites.
However, sprites were a powerful aid, but they were also a kind of restriction. They restricted humans from cultivating plants and researching fertilizers. Even now, they still adopted the primitive slash-and-burn method.
Liszt was changing the Flower Town's agricultural method. Each settlement had begun to popularize the composting of manure, plant ash, and pond mud.
The wheat settlement still continued to grow wheat. With the help of the wheat worm stalk, it was possible to increase the wheat yield by 20-30%. At the same time, the three stalks of corn grass were also taken care of by special people. However, the majority of the corn grass was cultivated by the barley settlement's serfs, who gathered forage seeds on their behalf.
The barley settlement had previously mainly grown barley and oats. The most recent corn field was the wasteland reclaimed in the barley settlement. Coupled with the cultivation of corn grass, there was a serious shortage of serfs.
The mushroom settlement and the tomato settlement were still at their original scale, without much change.
The town had the biggest change. There was no more dirty manure, and no one dared to litter the streets. This was enforced by Liszt. There were patrol teams patrolling every day, and anyone who dared to litter would face a severe whipping — the nobles punished commoners with all kinds of tortures, but Liszt selectively preserved them.
At first, Liszt thought of using the police station's method of public security detention, but later he thought that only detention without corporal punishment was simply a happy life for the serfs.
He didn't have to work, and he could eat and drink for free every day.
Therefore, physical punishment was unavoidable.
"I have already divided 50 acres of wasteland to plant corn. This is the limit of the corn worm's influence. Right now, the barley settlement is no longer able to meet the needs of the planting, and it is also very difficult to transfer serfs from other settlements. The oyster settlement has already transferred a group of serfs, so for the time being, there are only ten mu of corn fields. "
Gort explained to Liszt.
Today, they were here to settle down the corn worms. The corn had already sprouted. A layer of lush green covered ten acres of newly cultivated wasteland that had been fertilized.
"So be it. After the oats and barley are harvested, we'll switch to corn. Without sprite worms, barley and oats are not cost-effective. "Liszt nodded.
Immediately after, he began to settle down the corn worm stalk.
The corn worm's worm stalk was yellow corn, so its color was bright yellow. It was very beautiful and dazzling.
"Little guy, come and take a breath of fresh air."
The corn worm was indeed a brave little guy. It crawled out of the jade box, opened its mouth, and spat out the worm stalk, which was planted in the middle of the field. The worm stalk quickly faced the wind and grew into a stalk of yellow corn covered in grains.
At this point, the new mission was completed.
Of the six sprite worms, five were settled down, leaving only the thorns sprite worm.
Liszt was in a good mood. While riding on the horse, he began to concentrate. The smoke Serpentines quickly twisted before his eyes: "Mission completed: reward qi secret skill 《Magic Eyes》."
Immediately after, the content changed, and a new mission was issued: "Mission: all of your companions have been properly settled down. Only the thorns sprite worm does not have a new home. As the lord, you cannot waste the productivity of any sprite worm. Please settle down the thorns sprite worm's worm stalk. Reward: the invasion of the invisible dragon. "
As he skimmed through the contents of the new mission, his complacent mood quickly shattered.
Were it not for the retainers and servants following him, he would have stomped his feet and cursed: "Smoke mission, are you kidding me? The invasion of the invisible dragon can also be regarded as a reward?"
According to the information previously obtained, the invisible dragon might leave behind a priceless space ring.
However, one had to be alive to obtain it!
A dragon could easily destroy a town. Liszt did not want to test whether he could send the invisible dragon away with two old cows and a bundle of smoke grass. In his opinion, the more capable one was, the better one would be. If he were the lord of the Coral Island, then even if he had to lose a town, he would still give the invisible dragon a try.
However, there was only the Flower Town.
If the dragon rolled around, then the town would probably be gone and he would become a destitute person, let alone a luxurious aristocratic life.
In a split second, he even decided to give up on the thorns sprite worm and never complete the mission to trigger the invasion of the invisible dragon as a reward.
However, after calming down, he was not willing.
The smoke mission seemed to be just pushing the boat with the current, pushing things that should have existed to him. However, if he did not push the boat with the current, then who knew how much more difficult it would be for him to develop. Moreover, he already could not do without the quick benefits brought by the smoke mission. Every time he completed a mission, he would get a reward, which felt wonderful.
After struggling all the way to the castle, he made up his mind.
"Let's do it, isn't it just the invisible dragon?!"
"Prepare the smoke grass and the cows. At worst, if the Flower Town is destroyed, then I will go to Tulip Castle and shamelessly ask for a share of the family property."
"The count wouldn't want to see his son starve to death!"
For the sake of the space ring, and even more for the smoke mission, Liszt threw caution to the wind.
After making up his mind, the next step was to make adequate preparations.
For this reason.
He spent the night in the castle's study, lighting a lamp and staying up late to design a plan. He did not let anyone participate. It was good that he alone held the secret of the invisible dragon. If he obtained the space ring, then there was the risk that the secret would be leaked and the divine artifact would be snatched away.
The space ring was worthy of being called a divine artifact.
"Before considering victory, first consider defeat. The most important thing is to preserve one's life." This was the core idea of Liszt's design plan. Regardless of whether things would succeed or not, the first thing to do was to ensure his own safety without any worries.
He looked at the sketch of the Flower Town he drew. After thinking for a long time, he circled the dairy farm: "This will be the battlefield for the invasion of the invisible dragon. The cows will be left as bait. Then, all the smoke grass will be cut and piled on the dairy farm to attract the invisible dragon's attention. "
"As for fighting, it is impossible. No one can defeat a dragon, let alone kill an invisible dragon."
"It is said that dragons have dragon breath. It sprays special magic substances such as flames, acids, venom, and the like from their mouths. Half of a dragon's fighting strength relies on dragon breath. Therefore, the surface is very dangerous. It is necessary to dig underground so that one can escape from the invisible dragon. "
"A dragon would never dig the ground and catch a few insect-like humans, right?"
"Then, I probably cannot see the invisible dragon, and the Flower Town should also not be able to see the invisible dragon. In order to ensure the invisible dragon's true position, I should sprinkle a layer of flour on the dairy farm so that when the invisible dragon walks, it will leave its footprints … But then again, do dragons need to walk? Don't they fly?"
Liszt scratched his head, thinking about how to find the invisible dragon. However, no matter how he thought about it, he still could not figure out how to see a dragon that could become invisible.
Irritated, he slammed his fist on the table.
Clatter.
