In the insect room of the nameless castle.
Liszt stood in front of a box covered with jade powder, looking at the lazily lying Tulip Sprite, feeling the anxiety in the little guy's heart. He could only encourage it with his own emotions as much as possible.
Apart from that, there was no other effective means.
It was just a sprite worm. It had simple emotions and did not have any intelligence or comprehension ability. The only thing it could communicate with was Liszt's instructions through emotions.
Otherwise, he would reach out and touch it to express his love.
"Wow." On the edge of the box, the thorny sprite Ella yawned and called out in boredom. It was the tyrant of the insect room.
In the box on the right side of Liszt, Mickey was counting the corn kernels he had collected.
He did not like Ella, nor did he like to stick to Liszt. His personality may not be as irritable as Ella, but he was relatively more independent and immersed in his own little world.
Ella, Nami, Mickey, Fitz, Tam, and Eddie, these sprites were very cute and condensed the essence of heaven and earth. He was also an independent individual with his own personality and thoughts. In fact, they did not have the concept of "the same kind". Even sprites of the same genus did not regard each other as the same kind.
Just like the giant kelp sprite Parker, the three giant kelp sprites Fitz, Tam, and Eddie probably had a "bloodline" connection – it was very likely that they were all sprites born from giant kelp derived from Parker's worm stalk.
However, Parker was also very cruel to the three giant kelp sprites, without the slightest care for the younger generation.
From Liszt's point of view.
Sprites inherited the "personality" of plants and grew quietly and independently, unlike humans and animals, who had companions, families, and other feelings. Another example was the outgoing sprite Nami. Although she liked to make friends, she had the same mentality towards humans, elves, seven-colored whales, and ducklings.
Just because the other party was an elf, it did not mean that they were of the same kind and should be friends.
"Wow!"
Ella cried again. It was so bored that it wanted Liszt to play with it. However, Liszt just waved his hand and let it play by itself.
He was implementing the plan to "stimulate Ella" and deliberately showed indifference to Ella.
Making it angry and then exploding its evolutionary potential — although it was cruel to Ella to be indifferent and enthusiastic, in order to help it evolve, Liszt felt that this was the best way.
The new plant's pheromones were of great help to the elves' evolution. He was also using the caravan to continuously collect plants of the same genus as the sprite worm stalks, striving to help the sprites obtain more pheromones. However, this was not enough. Most of the time, the elves had to work hard.
For example, this Tulip Worm was born in Tulip Castle. It could be said that it had all the pheromones that other Tulip Elves had.
However, whether it could evolve or not still depended on its own efforts.
Without sufficient willpower to move forward, ten years of lifespan would be over, and they might not even be able to enter the Fat Chrysalis stage.
Ella saw that Liszt was always staring at the Tulip Worm and gradually became dissatisfied. She shouted, "Wow!"
"Move aside!"
"Wow!"
Liszt paid no more attention to it.
Ella called a few times and did not get a response. She angrily flew around the worm room. At this time, Mickey, who was counting the corn kernels, may have felt very annoyed and shouted at Ella, "Chirp!"
This suddenly made Ella angry.
She immediately flew in front of Mickey, clenched her small fist, and shouted, "Wow!"
"Chirp!"
"Wow!"
"Chirp!"
"Wow!"
The two elves did not fight with each other, but their quarrel was quite fierce, and their saliva sprayed out.
"Shut up and go back to your respective boxes. Don't come out and don't make a sound!" Liszt stared and shouted at the two elves.
They did not dare to disobey the order.
Ella flattened her mouth and flew back to her box. She closed the lid of the box and hid inside to sulk. But after a while, she had fallen asleep. Although the elves were full of emotions, they were also relatively simple little creatures. On the other side, Mickey continued to count his corn kernels as if nothing had happened.
Every time he came back from a trip, Liszt would bring him a corn kernels. He liked to study corn kernels as if he had a hobby of collecting them.
...
As long as there was free time.
Liszt would walk into the worm room, encourage the Tulip Worm, and let it evolve bravely.
During this period, the reward of the previous smoke mission soon appeared, and the news came from the construction site of Thorn Castle.
Gort sent someone to report to him, "My Lord, Mr. Fred, the driller, led the drilling team to drill for the castle. After breaking a rock, water began to spray from the ground. At the same time, a large number of small fish came out of the spout, and there were still small fish spewing out after fishing for thousands of pounds. "
"There are really fish spewing out?"
Liszt was already aware of the reward, but he was still a little surprised.
It was rare to dig a well and dig out a fish spring. The fish spewed out like a fountain. So he immediately rode the colorful whale Lolth and set off for Black Horse Island.
After arriving at the construction site, Gort quickly took him to the location of the well that had been fenced.
"My Lord, this well is very magical. I have sent people to fish up to three thousand pounds in a row, and the small fish in it have not decreased at all." Gort took the fishing net handed over by the clerk, which contained a few small fish that were still alive. "These are the small fish spewed out of the well. No one has seen them before."
The small fish were a bit similar to carp, but a little more slender, with a pale golden color, and looked very beautiful. They were between 15 cm and 25 cm in size, and the longest was no more than 30 cm. On average, each weighed about four or five taels.
"Are they sea fish?"
Liszt looked at the small fish and asked. He thought it was possible that the well spring connected to the sea through a passage, and the small fish in the sea were brought up.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain the appearance of the fish spring.
Gort replied, "It should be freshwater fish. The well water can be drunk directly, and the small fish are very adapted to the well water. The chef of the port town restaurant also came to get the ingredients. This small fish is not poisonous after cooking, and it tastes very good. The meat is delicate and delicious, and it is much better than sea fish. "
"Freshwater fish, so it may be that there is an underground river under the basalt pillars of Black Horse Island, and these small fish grow in the underground river." Liszt speculated. If it was not a passage connected to the sea, then it could only be an underground river — the underground river could be formed by the erosion of rain.
However, Black Horse Island was a volcanic island, and the main structure was basalt pillars. It was really amazing to be able to form an underground river under the basalt pillars.
This made him want to go deep into the underground river and find out what was going on.
"Consultant Gort, this well should not be used as a well. Dig a tunnel diagonally downward and guard the fish spring for fishing. In addition, send a Knight with a strong diving ability to explore down the spring to see if the spring is connected to the underground river. "
"Underground river?" Gort did not understand.
"There will be holes under some of the earth where water will converge to form underground rivers. In short, you send someone to investigate and give me the results of the investigation. "
Gort suppressed his curiosity and accepted the order.
