Digging the canal was not an easy task.
However, the distance between Thorn Castle and the sea was less than one kilometer. This length of the canal was relatively easy to dig. For this kind of pure hard work, Liszt once again raised the basic wage. Each serf had an additional copper coin on top of the original base wage.
While the sea canal was being dug bit by bit, the drilling team led by Fred Wellbore had completed the excavation of the second well in Mushroom Town.
He was then transferred over to dig wells for Thorn Castle.
There was no water source near Thorn Castle, so water could only be obtained from Port Town. However, with the castle being put into use, it was obviously not enough to meet the needs of so many people.
A few days before the start of work.
Liszt often came to the construction site to check on the progress. He was very much looking forward to his castle with a name. Of course, they were only building ancillary facilities on the periphery of the castle. It would probably be more than half a year before the main building of Thorn Castle was completed.
At the very least, it would be next year.
Therefore, after going around the construction site a few times and not seeing any new progress, he gave up on this boring inspection and focused on other things.
A Qi's speed of deciphering nature magic was getting faster and faster. Regarding the planting magic of the magic plant seeds, she had basically deciphered most of it. However, many of the details of the planting magic were in the sun language. Without a corresponding reference, it was difficult to accurately describe them, which stumped A Qi.
She now changed the subject and began to study Druid magic related to fighting animals.
The latest progress was the deciphering of a book called "Cleansing Light City's Sun Tower Guide Construction Guide". This book mainly introduced a type of building of the Sun's Child — the Sun Tower. According to the book, the Sun Tower drew the power of the sun and gave the entire city the power to grow. The city with the Sun Tower was called Cleansing Light City.
"Brother, the Sun Tower doesn't seem to be the same system as Druid magic. Druid magic originates from chaos magic, while the Sun Tower uses the power of the sun … Brother told A Qi that the sun is a star that can emit powerful light and heat all the time."
"That's right." Liszt nodded.
He felt that this Cleansed Light City and Sun Tower sounded like they were using solar energy? It was indeed appropriate for the Sun's Child to use solar energy, but when it came to solar energy, he was somewhat puzzled. "A Qi, do you think there is any connection between solar energy and light attribute magic?"
"Light magic power and solar energy?" A Qi thought seriously for a moment and replied, "A Qi feels that there are similarities between the two, but they are not the same kind of power. Light-attribute magic is just a kind of magic that has the nature of sunlight. It itself is still magic, not sunlight. "
"You're right. Light-attribute magic is just magic." Liszt agreed.
If sunlight was magic power, then wouldn't Magic Eyes be filled with magic light? So sunlight was only light on the physical level. The Children of the Sun used the power of the sun, and it was very likely that they were using solar energy — using solar energy to accelerate the growth of plants.
He then asked, "A Qi, can you decipher the construction method of this Sun Tower?"
"Big brother, there are so many proper nouns. Without a Sun language to match, it's very difficult to decipher." A Qi said in distress. Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.
There were only so many books in the Sun language. There was no "dictionary", and the Sun language was especially complicated.
It was really difficult.
Liszt asked again, "So how's the Druid's battle magic on animals?" Those battle magic were basically all kinds of Druid transformation magic, transforming into a bear, eagle, leopard, and so on, and then using these animal forms to fight.
A Qi shook her head. "Big brother, A Qi thinks it's very difficult. In these transformation books, there is always something related to the Children of the Sun's bloodline. A Qi can't find the right description … Without this thing, there is no way to perform the Druid's transformation magic."
After A Qi's explanation.
Liszt understood that the bloodline of the Children of the Sun had a great secret, like some kind of specific genetic code — no wonder those boxes and floating bottles could only be opened by the old leathersmith Phil, a descendant of the Sun, with his blood.
After understanding this.
Liszt completely gave up on natural magic. It was useless to see but not use. He couldn't help but say, "A Qi, when you have time, continue to study natural magic, then compile it into a book and give it to the mages of the Magic Tower to study together. See if there can be any new progress."
"Yes." A Qi was still in high spirits. She didn't know whether it was useful or not, but the wonders of natural magic gave her a lot of inspiration.
… …
Natural magic shattered the fief's hope of getting rich in a short time.
Liszt adjusted his mentality and continued to develop the fief step by step. This month, the fief's income was quite good. Not to mention the income from wine, glass, and other gold coins, the addition of the giant seaweed magic ingredient also brought a bumper harvest. In particular, the giant seaweed grew very fast and could be harvested once every twenty days.
Basically, as long as the giant seaweed's taproot was not harmed, the giant seaweed could continue to grow by about ten centimeters per day.
Coupled with the purchase of a portion from outside, the potions could basically be taken.
The income from the sprite worms was also good.
The alfalfa sprite worm had already been contracted, the stone flower sprite worm had yet to be born, and the two Tulip sprite worms were also in good health, which was equivalent to harvesting four sprite worms.
Four sprite worms in a month was definitely a high yield for the viscount's fief.
In particular, there were two Tulip worms, which represented the production of a large number of potions.
So it was.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, July had arrived.
After a busy week of battles, the canal to the sea had been completely dug, and Liszt personally participated in the reinforcement of the canal embankment. The Blizzard Beast squad made their debut, with rock thorns piercing out on both sides of the river embankment to fix the embankment.
Even the bottom of the canal was pierced by rock thorns, and then the serfs smashed the rock thorns and laid them flat on the bottom of the river.
Basically, this navigation canal could not be crossed by a tsunami.
Now all that was left was the riverbank railings, greenery, and walkways, which needed to be built, but this was no longer within the scope of the smoke mission.
"Mission completed. Reward: a fountain that gushes all year round."
"Gushes all year round, what does this mean?" Liszt was a little confused. The straightforward understanding of "fountain" was naturally a fountain that sprayed fish.
But why did fish spurt out of the fountain?
This problem did not bother Liszt for long before it was replaced by the surprise brought by the new mission.
"Mission: Two new Tulip worms are about to arrive, bringing a great sense of crisis to another Tulip worm that has lost most of its lifespan. It may have a premonition that it is about to drown in mediocrity. Although it has never been good enough, it still wants to try its best. Please inspire its courage. Reward: a sprite. "
