This chapter is titled "My Horse Feeds the Sheep."

Liszt left the preparations for the Magic Academy to Crazy and Gort, so he did not continue to pay attention to them. Back at his temporary residence in Port Town, he immediately took out the dozen or so giant algae potions that Crazy had made and swallowed them one by one. Then, he took out a thick bast paper to record.
Only by analyzing the nature of the giant algae potion could he make a better potion.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The little fire dragon, Leo, was restless in his chest, asking to eat the potion.
Liszt had to appease him. "Don't be impatient. Let me analyze the nature of the giant algae potion first. When I'm done, you will eat it!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Leo was still crying for the potion and did not listen to Liszt's explanation. It was not until Liszt took out a few more giant algae potions and gave them to him that he was barely appeased. Only then did he have the opportunity to study the nature of the potion through the remaining three giant algae potions.
He wrote on a thick bast paper and basically understood the nature of the potion.
The potion's effect was chaotic, similar to the black potion, but not as good as the thorn potion. However, it was obviously not as helpful to Liszt and Leo as the flame potion and the ice flame potion, because these two potions were fire magic potions and were very suitable for a human and a dragon.
"It's a pity that I don't have the black nightshade as a supplement, or I could try the combination of the two." After swallowing the potion, Liszt operated the dragon's fighting energy for a while, but he had nothing else to do.
He did not sleep immediately. Instead, he continued to write and draw on the thick bast paper, thinking about the giant algae forest and how to place the worm stalks to maximize the benefits, as well as the possible existence of the giant algae sprites.
However, it was obviously very difficult to develop a farming industry at the bottom of the sea.
"It's best to let A Qi explore the topography of the seabed, and then improve the position of the giant algae forest so that the giant algae can grow near the sea, which will make it easier to manage and harvest … But I haven't even figured out the giant algae forest, so it's too early to talk about transformation."
Put away the pen and paper.
Then, he suddenly thought of something. Writing on thick bast paper and a quill is very inconvenient. Now that I have the ability to protect myself, it is time to invent white paper. If possible, I will try to figure out how to make pencils and pens. I probably won't be able to make ballpoint pens and gel pens.
The nib of a gel pen and the ball of a ballpoint pen were not achievable by current technology.
The fountain pen, on the other hand, was slightly simpler. However, the fountain pen technology was not small either. The easiest to invent should be the pencil. Unfortunately, the lead of the pencil seemed to be made of graphite. Liszt had no idea where the graphite mine was... He probably had to continue writing with the quill.
Another option was to invent a writing brush. Writing brushes were relatively easy to make, and the materials were also convenient.
However, although writing Chinese characters with a brush looked good, it was not necessarily more convenient than writing with a goose feather pen. Especially Snake Script and Wind Language, which were crooked lines. Writing with a hard pen like a goose feather pen might be more comfortable.
"In any case, if we can find graphite, we should invent the pencil as soon as possible. First, arrange for someone to try making a writing brush. Let's see whether writing with a writing brush or a quill is more convenient. "
In that case …
It was a good night's dream.
…
The next day.
After communicating with A Qi, Liszt stopped harvesting the giant seaweed and continued to search the rest of the giant seaweed forest. At the same time, he arranged for fishermen to dive in the offshore area to harvest ordinary giant seaweed to make room for planting the giant seaweed.
He searched for worm stalks in the deep water area.
The difficulty was high, especially in the deep water area where the water pressure was very high. It was a huge challenge for Liszt to hold his breath. Unfortunately, he could not pass on Magic Eyes to A Qi. He could only continue to dive and surface by himself, using Magic Eyes to scan every area of the giant seaweed forest.
In the morning, he advanced thousands of acres of land, but did not find a single sprite.
Somewhat disappointed, he rowed back.
Just as he came ashore, he was attracted by a piece of news.
He listened to the valet Thomas describe vividly: "Master, many serfs saw Lame Billy fall into the sea. When he was about to drown, a colorful sea monster suddenly rushed out, lifted Billy up, and sent him to the shore. I was standing on the shore at that time and saw it clearly. It really was a colorful sea monster! "
"A colorful sea monster? Sent him to the shore? Does Billy not know how to swim? "
"Master, many of the new fishermen have not learned to swim."
"Is that so …"
Liszt immediately thought of the colorful dolphin that A Qi mentioned, which was the low-level dragon beast that he thought was his reward for the smoke mission.
"A colorful dolphin can actually save people? This seems to be consistent with the news I heard on Earth that dolphins will save people who fall into the water? "
Liszt had seen a documentary that said dolphins have great concern and enthusiasm for rescuing objects that do not actively move in the water. Many people claimed that they were rescued by dolphins when they fell into the water and were pushed out of the water. Some people had done experiments and found that whether it was dead turtles, old air mattresses, lifebuoys, or thick planks, dolphins would do the same thing.
Marine mammal experts believed that this originated from dolphins' nature to care for their children. As mammals, they had no gills and needed to surface to breathe. But the baby dolphin often could not return to the surface in time, so the dolphin mother would help it up and send it to the surface.
Now.
This colorful dolphin did the same thing and saved a serf who fell into the water.
This gave Liszt a good impression of it, and he quickly formulated a plan to capture it — let people pretend to fall into the water, lure it to rescue, and then cast a net to capture it.
"However, if I capture it now, doesn't that mean I have to change the mission?" He called out the smoke mission. The mission content had not changed, which proved that more secrets of the giant kelp forest had not been discovered. "I am still not sure what the secret of the giant kelp forest is. If I interfere with the mission and instead neglect the real secret, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?"
The giant kelp chain mission.
It was likely to involve the giant kelp sprite, so Liszt did not dare to be careless.
The value of the giant kelp sprite, Liszt was not willing to exchange it for a hundred low-level dragon beasts.
After all, the dragon beasts were only slightly more advanced than the World of Warcraft, but the giant kelp sprite could grow at least 6000 mu of giant kelp, and its value was immeasurable.
The reason why the Tulip family was so strong, able to support a large family, and train a large number of Earth Knights, was because of the Tulip sprite's continuous growth of magic potions. Without the sprite, it was difficult to even support a Sky Knight, let alone maintain the large-scale consumption of Orders of Chivalry and the castle.
"I will let it be free for a few days. When I find the giant kelp sprite, I will subdue this colorful dolphin … It seems very cool to have a dragon-type sea monster as a mount."
So it was.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed.
At dusk, Liszt had already left. A Qi still worked overtime as usual, preparing to return to Mangrove Island when it was completely dark.
Shuttling through the increasingly thick giant kelp, she constantly explored new areas.
Some fierce sharks even dared to attack her, but when she controlled the water to beat them, the sharks hurriedly ran away. As for killing them, it was even simpler. Liszt had told her a method. She just had to turn the shark over with its belly up, and the shark would soon faint.
A Qi had tested it, and it was indeed so.
When the shark was belly up, it directly fainted, and its life was at her mercy.
After scaring away the shark, she saw a huge starfish, wondering if it was a sea monster, but when she approached it, she did not feel the breath of magic, and it was still just an ordinary starfish.
Just as she was constantly searching.
Suddenly, a giant kelp in front of her attracted her attention.
She could not help but open her mouth, so surprised that she wanted to shout — it could no longer be called a giant kelp, it should be called a giant pillar in the water!
The thick roots of the giant kelp grasped the seabed rocks hundreds of meters deep, almost like a wall, at least two or three meters in diameter, and the leaves on it were also very huge, curving and hovering in the sea.
The leaves on it were also very large. They curled and spiraled in the sea, looking like a huge sea snake.
"Worm grass!"
