It was already February.
The sky was still snowing intermittently. The serfs of Black Horse Island and Flower Town were still working in the heavy snow. Liszt, who was studying wood, received a message from the Knight of Tulip Castle inviting him to a banquet. The theme of the banquet was to celebrate his brother Lytton's breakthrough to the Earth Knight.
"A fourteen-year-old Earth Knight. It seems that Lytton's birthday is in November. That is to say, he is actually only thirteen years old and a few months old." Liszt asked the butler to entertain the messenger Knight and did not accept the invitation. "This talent is really good, better than Levis."
He was not interested in Lytton's future.
He asked the butler to prepare a congratulatory gift and continued his research work. With his current identity, he did not care what others thought. If he did not want to attend the banquet, even the Earl could not force him. No one in the Tulip family would and dared not blame him.
Strength was the source of confidence.
"It seems that in another month, I will be eighteen years old, and the five power-charged moves of the [Burning Red Sun Rising Fire] are about to be mastered … After I master them, I will challenge the Count and see how big the gap between me and the Sword Saint is."
He was confident that he could rely on the powerful attributes of the Dragon Qi to fight the Earl alone.
But before the fight started, it was difficult to predict the outcome of the battle. There were many factors that affected the battle between the Sky Knight, not just the battle of qi.
"Wow!"
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, the thorn sprite, Ella, chased the corn sprite Mickey and flew out of the castle. Mickey flew directly to Liszt, seeking shelter, and Ella was not willing to let him go. However, after seeing Liszt, it turned and flew out of the castle – to the Garden of Thorns to vent its anger.
The conditioned reflex had been formed. As long as it was angry, it would run to the Garden of Thorns to plant thorns.
The first thorn sprite may not have much to do with Ella, but the second thorn sprite sprite was definitely affected by Ella's constant magic.
Liszt was happy to see this result.
"Ji gu, ji gu, ji gu." After Ella left, Mickey became active, flying in the glass greenhouse and touching the newly germinated potion seeds with her small hands from time to time.
Liszt was afraid that it would accidentally hurt the tender seedlings, so he waved his hand. "Mickey, go play outside."
"Chirp."
Mickey was very obedient and immediately flew outside.
Not long after, his valet Thomas walked over: "Master, administrative officer Isaiah requests to see you."
"Let him come here."
Isaiah waited under the castle's apple tree under the caterpillar fungus. After a few steps, he arrived at the glass greenhouse: "Sir, Isaiah would like to report to you the fiscal revenue of Flower Town for January."
"Go ahead."
"Our main income in January is glass sales. The nobles of Coral Island have shown great enthusiasm for glass. The glass cups blown by the glass workshop and pressed window glass are the most popular products. In just half a month, the sales profit has exceeded the revenue of flower wine."
"Is glass so popular?" Liszt doesn't worry much about government affairs, but he has asked about the profitable business. He remembered that the output of glass was still not high. He did not expect the profit to surpass that of liquor.
"Glass is very popular, but glass is not a consumable such as liquor. With the aristocracy buying glass products in large quantities, the Coral Island market will soon be saturated. The Tulip family's caravan is ready to sell to the outer islands. This is our exclusive product, there is no competition, and it can be spread throughout the country. "
"It can also be sold to the mainland. The future development of glass will definitely surpass liquor." Liszt was well aware of the potential of glass. "What restricts us now is the output of the glass workshop and the protection of the glass-making process."
Subsequently.
Isaiah introduced other financial revenues. Overall, the territory's finances in January have turned losses into profits, and Flower Town alone earned more than 300 gold coins. With the recovery of the liquor revenue, the income of the territory next month will increase greatly, and Liszt will not need to desperately subsidize it.
So far, most of the funds for the construction of the territory have come from his private pocket. Of course, the territory is privately owned by him.
He hopes to separate his private income from the territory's income.
But it is unlikely to be so clear. After all, products such as potions, World of Warcraft, and pearls can be regarded as his private property, or as the territory's specialties. Only things like shipwrecks and treasures can be regarded as his private income in a strict sense, and can be included in his small treasury.
With his purse bulging, Liszt's confidence returned.
If there are not enough potions, he will buy them. If there are not enough World of Warcraft meat, he will buy them. If there are not enough serf food, he will buy them. If there are not enough construction materials, he will buy them. He even wrote to Tulip Castle and Longtaro Castle, asking them to pay attention to the black nightshade worm and thorns worm. Once someone sells them, he is willing to buy them at a high price.
In the hands of others, the black nightshade worm and thorns worm are not very useful.
In his hands, they are priceless treasures.
In addition, barley worm, wheat worm, corn worm, as long as there is something to buy, he wants to buy them. The territory's food production is too low, and there is still a long way to go before it is self-sufficient, which makes Liszt feel insecure. He hopes that the territory will not only rely on various specialties to make a lot of money, but also achieve food self-sufficiency.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
The wood that Liszt was looking forward to finally germinated, confirming his conjecture about wood breeding: "Sure enough, this batch of wood is the seed. Although I do not know how to guide them to grow into the shape of a keel, but I can explore first, and one day I will figure it out … Let's call them 'Ship Planting Wood'."
Ship Planting Wood can be used to grow ships.
With the discovery of the secret, the smoke mission was also completed.
"Mission completed, reward Emily's qi sublimation."
"Huh?" Liszt's eyes widened, "Emily's qi sublimation, what does that mean? I remember I also received a qi sublimation reward, that time I broke through from Trainee Knight to Earth Knight. Does it mean that Emily has also promoted to an earth knight? "
At the very most, Emily had only been cultivating qi for a year.
Even with Liszt providing her with World of Warcraft meat and dragon milk, breaking through from zero to Earth Knight in a year is still an inconceivable thing.
Liszt exhaled, calming down: "No wonder the smoke mission called her a follower with astonishing talent, this talent completely surpasses Lytton!"
Lytton is currently the first Tulip family genius to break through to Earth Knight.
But he has been training for at least five to six years before becoming an Earth Knight at the age of fourteen, thirteen. Emily started training at the age of eleven, and now at the age of twelve, she has already become an Earth Knight. Comparing the two, one can see how terrifying Emily's talent is.
So terrifying that it makes Liszt jealous.
In fact, he has long discovered that Emily's qi cultivation is very easy. Half a year ago, she was already full of low-level qi, and could break through at any time.
However, he still found it hard to accept that she had really broken through. "That shouldn't be the case. She's just a commoner … Based on my research of this world, the cultivation of battle aura is directly related to nutrition. Furthermore, it is a decisive factor. And the so-called talent is also because aristocratic bloodlines are more likely to give birth to talented children. "
He once summed it up.
The theory of becoming stronger in this world — aristocrats rely on drugs, commoners rely on mutation.
Although there are talented commoners who struggle for a few generations to rise to the ranks of aristocrats, a mutation like Emily is unheard of. Her background is very clear, in the Eagle Kingdom, her parents are ordinary serfs.
She is not an aristocrat, and has not been through generations of continuous genetic improvement.
"This kind of mutation is really scary. If commoners can mutate like this, the foundation of aristocratic rule should have been broken long ago... But then again, if she didn't meet me, Emily would probably just be a farming serf for the rest of her life, right? No matter how good her talent is, it will be buried if there is no opportunity to uncover it. "
He simply stopped thinking about Emily's talent, and went straight to Emily to see what was going on.
