Liszt was holding the sprite, while the invisible dragon's claws were still holding the tied up former Listeners and the fourteen stubborn ancient wizards.
Therefore, he did not use Spatial Shuttle and instead just wandered around the material boundary. Whenever he needed to rest, he would carefully look at the sprites one by one.
Before the sixteen sprite worms spat out their worm stalks, it was temporarily impossible to distinguish their species.
The potato sprite did not need to distinguish itself. As for the remaining eight sprites, Liszt carefully looked at their heads and communicated with them to determine their species. Among them, five sprites were still unidentifiable, while the other three sprites were basically identifiable.
The first sprite was very easy to recognize as it had a small gourd on its head. Impressively, it was a gourd sprite that had never appeared before.
The second sprite was also very easy to recognize as it had a string of small, alternating green and red fruits on its head. These fruits were coffee trees, an important cash crop in the forests of Blazing Island. Coffee was a very popular beverage among aristocrats. However, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire did not produce coffee trees and could only import them from the continent.
However, there were many coffee trees in the forests of Blazing Island. Collecting coffee trees' fruits and coffee beans would become an important industry.
The value of this coffee sprite was not low.
The third sprite took Liszt a lot of effort. It had a small sapling with a huge root on its head.
Root was a prominent feature of trees in rainy and sultry forests. Many trees had a wing-like structure extending from the base of their trunks, resembling a wall of planks, and were called root. Because several kinds of trees had root, Liszt held the sprite's head and looked at it for a while.
Only then did he determine that it was a four wood sprite.
Four wood sprites were common trees in forests and belonged to the top of the forest. Their tall canopies were often located at the highest point of the forest and were the habitat of a large number of birds and monkeys. However, apart from being used as wood, the tree itself had no special value. Moreover, as wood, it could not compare to ironwood quality trees such as rock wood and stone wood.
But in any case, for Liszt, the existence of magical creatures like sprites was valuable in itself. There was no need to desire them to bring more value.
"Gallop, gallop!" The Potato Sprite crawled out of the box and looked at Liszt curiously. It had been looking at Liszt the whole time.
At the level of a Great Elf, the power of the contract was no longer a one-sided suppression. Great Elves had sufficient independent thinking.
However, since Liszt had saved it, coupled with the familiar feeling, the Potato Sprite quite liked Liszt. It was just curious as to why it liked Liszt. Liszt looked almost the same as those terrifying Moonslayers, just a little prettier.
"My name is Liszt Flame."
"Hang Chi, Hang Chi …"
"Come, repeat after me, Liszt."
"Lisi … te?"
"That's right, just say it like this, Liszt. Flame."
"Angchi, Angchi, Liszt … Flame …"
"Very good. You already know my name. What about yours? I forgot. You don't have a name, so I'll give you one. Seeing the potato on your head reminds me of a bomb. Why don't you call yourself Kutch, the heroic Grenadier in League of Legends? "
A name was just a code. The Potato Sprite did not understand the concept of a name, so it accepted its name in a daze — Kutch.
"Angchi, Kutch?"
"Yes, Kutch."
"Hahahaha, Angchi, Kutch!" The Potato Sprite giggled.
Liszt looked at it and began to think about how to plant potatoes and make them the staple food of the Flame Territory's immigrants in the future. The birth of a new food always required an acceptance process. However, the popularization of potatoes should be quick. Even if the Flame Territory's immigrants did not like it, they could still give it to the Moonslayers.
As long as the planting of potatoes was promoted on a large scale, the food problem would no longer bother Flame Island.
…
After returning to the Infernal Plains.
He handed the Listeners and the Ancient Magicians over to the Guild of Magic. "Interrogate them harshly. These are the Listeners of the Holy Tribe and a group of loyal Ancient Magicians. I want to find out everything they know, especially what 'Cassido' and 'Mosiros' mean. "
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, organize a group of Magicians in charge of species identification to help me identify the species of the Sprite."
The interrogation took time, but before dinner, Liszt already knew what Cassido and Mosiros meant.
Cassido referred to "Barbarians", while Mosiros referred to "evil forces that desecrate magic". According to the Listener whose teeth had been pulled out, the Barbarians had betrayed their ancestors and used evil forces to desecrate the great magic.
"Why does it sound like the Barbarians are talking about the Knight?" Liszt felt that it sounded like it. There were a lot of Knight in the era of the Moon Empire.
The Knight probably belonged to the Magician's squire class, a kind of guard.
For example, the Moon Language of Mount Mulla Gaodin meant the Guardian Knight of Moonlight. It could be seen that the Knight was just a guard in the era of the Moon Empire.
Perhaps to the Magicians who worshipped the truth, the Knight who relied on physical strength was indeed a Barbarian.
And the Barbarian Knight really overthrew the Moon Empire and established the Knight system that ruled the world today. It was not wrong to say that it was a desecration of magic.
But it was hard to say. In ancient times, there were definitely not only Magicians and Knight, but also many Ancient Warriors and Ancient Magicians. For example, bearskins, vampires, wizards, bronze-muscled warriors, and so on. Who knew whether the Moon Language of Cassido referred to the Knight or other Ancient Warriors.
Cassido might even be the Ancient Magicians' collective name for the various Warrior professions such as the Knight. Those who relied on muscle were all Barbarians. Mosiros was the collective name for the various Spellcasters. Weren't non-traditional Magicians all evil forces that desecrate magic?
In short, Cassido and Mosiros could be understood as "heresy".
Liszt understood and lost interest. He quickly followed the Magicians in species identification and identified the species of the Sprites.
The five Sprites were Cocoa Tree, Turtleback Bamboo, Partridge Hemp, Scorpion Banana, and Leaf Flower. Among them, the Cocoa Tree's fruit, the cocoa bean, was the raw material for making chocolate. Cocoa Sprites were obviously as valuable as Coffee Sprites.
The other four sprites were of no value.
The sixteen sprite worms corresponded to the worm stalks, which were plants that could be found in the forest.
Among them, only two had economic value. One was a Bread Fruit sprite worm, which corresponded to a Bread Fruit Tree. It tasted similar to bread and could be eaten as a meal. The other was a Moon Pistachio sprite worm, which was a kind of nut-based magic ingredient.
"Viscount Fawkes, temporarily stop capturing the Moon Killer serfs. I have a task for you. Find and transplant plants of the same species as my sprites from the forest. Each plant must form a plantation sufficient for worm stalks to grow. "Liszt instructed.
Worm stalks could not survive alone, otherwise they would easily decay and wither.
Although most sprites were judged to have no economic value, this was only temporary. In case one day a variant of the same species of plant was born, the value of sprites would immediately skyrocket.
Fawkes accepted the order: "As you wish, Your Highness."
"In addition, the potato sprite Kutch's species is a potato, which can be used as a staple food. You have to build a potato plantation as soon as possible … It is already autumn, so if you hurry, you can still plant potatoes in winter." With the worm stalks, the plants in the plantation would not freeze to death even in winter.
It was just that they would stop growing.
