As a Domain Knight and an old Marquis, Marquis Wildwave had a total of four great sprites. They were the Barley Great Sprite, the Pea Great Sprite, the Five Leaf Brocade Great Sprite, and the Eucalyptus Great Sprite.
Among them, the most valuable was undoubtedly the Five Leaf Brocade Great Sprite because it could grow potions. The second was the Barley Great Sprite, which could produce the staple barley. But after some consideration, Liszt chose the youngest Pea Great Sprite, which was only seventy-five years old.
Peas were the most common food for commoners. Nobles usually did not eat beans and only used them as fodder for their horses.
But Liszt was different. The beans in his territory were very valuable and could be used in all kinds of bean products. And most importantly, his territory had a special product — Mushroom Peas. Mushroom Peas could grow large amounts of Rhizobia, helping the land to fix nitrogen and increasing crop production.
All the wasteland would quickly become fertile after two crops of peas.
During the farm rotation, Liszt mainly let the territory plant Mushroom Peas and harvest Rhizobia. He then used Rhizobia on other leguminous plants to increase the yield of leguminous plants. Soybeans, peas, cowpeas, mung beans, as well as Gleditsia sinensis and peanuts, could all obtain rich Rhizobia nitrogen fixation.
But the Mushroom Peas's Rhizobia was most effective on peas and broad beans. So Liszt had been secretly thinking about how he could mutate soybeans and peanuts to produce Rhizobia.
In short.
The Five Leaf Brocade Great Sprite couldn't even kill Marquis Wildwave. The Barley Great Sprite was too old, so Liszt chose the Pea Great Sprite after some consideration.
Relying on the mutated Mushroom Peas and the continuous promotion of beans, the Pea Great Sprite was very useful.
Under Liszt's gaze, Dean reluctantly activated his qi and removed the contract with the Pea Great Sprite. The Pea Great Sprite had just woken up, and before it could react, Liszt roughly stuck his finger into its mouth and pinched it.
Its teeth unconsciously closed.
In the blink of an eye, a clear telepathic link was formed between him and the Pea Great Sprite.
"Huh?"
Licking the blood that was still on the tip of its tongue, the great pea sprite was a little confused. It looked at Dean and felt that he was an acquaintance, but there was no sense of closeness like in the past. On the contrary, the good-looking stranger in front of it gave it a very warm feeling. It was just a nap, and suddenly everything was different.
"Your Highness Liszt, I've handed Dinho over to you. Can my father regain his freedom?" Dean asked, enduring the discomfort.
"Why don't you stay for lunch?"
How could Dean be in the mood? He just wanted to leave right now and go far away. He no longer had to feel the pain of having to part with the Great Elf. However, Marquis Wildwave said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. Then we, father and son, will not disturb Your Highness. The food of Thorn Castle is truly unforgettable."
As a Domain Knight, his captive life on Black Horse Island was very comfortable, with good food and drink.
Thus, they quickly fell in love with the rich food and clean environment here. If it wasn't for the fact that they were enemies, this place could have been a vacation spot.
Liszt smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. It's just lunch. It won't take up much time."
He had a good impression of Marquis Wildwave. During this time, he had a lot of discussions about the practice of the Battle Energy field. Although Liszt did not intend to study the Battle Energy field, he still had to try the necessary practice, lest he had the secret book but did not know how to practice systematically.
"Sir Dean, when you set off from the Eagle Kingdom, did you learn about the kingdom's reaction to the Battle of the Dragon Slayer?" Liszt suddenly asked.
Dean glanced at his father.
Marquis Wildwave was holding a teacup and tasting the fine green tea. When he heard this, he could not help but scold, "What do you need to hide in front of Your Highness!"
Dean replied with embarrassment, "Your Highness Liszt, I don't know enough. After receiving your letter, the family hurriedly prepared the ransom and went to Sapphire. I only heard some news along the way. The coastal areas were talking about the Battle of the Dragon Slayer and were shocked by the death of His Highness Carl, but the reaction of the kingdom's top officials is still unclear. "
"Oh."
Liszt could not deny it.
In a world without the Internet, it would be impossible for the results of the Battle of the Dragon Slayer to spread in a few months. Except for some of the top nobles, the small nobles and civilians in the vast area did not know about the Battle of the Dragon Slayer and rarely cared about things outside their territory.
Most of the civilians had never left the town or village where they lived in their entire lives.
Even those small nobles rarely went out if it was not because of the war. The cost of going out was very considerable, and they might as well stay in their territory.
In short.
If Liszt wanted to know more about the Battle of the Dragon Slayer, he could only wait for Mary and other Blood Servants to continue to send back news from the Eagle Kingdom.
…
The lunch was grand, mainly because of the variety of dishes.
Marquis Wildwave ate happily, but his son Dean was a little nervous. He had just tried many of the new dishes and was still not used to it.
After the lunch.
Marquis Wildwave suddenly proposed, "Your Highness, your territory has many novel specialties. If possible, I hope to open a trade with your territory."
"At this time, you don't mind the attitude of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family?"
"The Dragon Knight will naturally worry about the royal family's affairs. I followed His Highness Alonso to war, lost troops and was even captured. The royal family can't compensate me. I can only find ways to reduce the losses myself." Di Maria did not care much about the royal family's attitude. The feudal lords enjoyed great autonomy, and the royal family did not interfere too much.
"What materials do you want to trade?"
"Green tea, glass, white paper, and porcelain." These were all products that Di Maria had enjoyed during this time and felt that they had great prospects.
"Glass, white paper, and porcelain can be traded, but green tea production is insufficient. At most, it can supply your castle. However, there is a product that I don't know if you have any ideas about. "
"Your Highness, please speak clearly."
"Salt, better sea salt than well salt and pond salt."
"Salt?" Di Maria raised his eyebrows and seemed to be thinking. After a moment, he made a decision. "I am very interested, but I don't know how much sea salt is produced."
"Leave this to the servants. Have some tea."
…
After reaching a verbal agreement on trade cooperation, Marquis Wildwave and his party set off to leave Black Horse Island.
Only then did Liszt have time to communicate carefully with the great pea sprite.
The great sprite had a strong independent mind, so even though it had established a contract with Liszt, it was still unhappy and unwilling to face Liszt after learning of its situation.
"Dinho, you will live here from now on." Liszt walked into the worm room and saw Dinho, the great pea sprite hiding in the worm room.
Dinho was the name given to it by the Yuhua Shi family.
