"I'm back, Aini."
Liszt greeted Aini, the Phoenix Parasol Tree Great Elf. From the many messy elves' emotions, Liszt could feel Aini's desire to be close to Leo.
This was originally something that Liszt wanted to solve, so he responded with a reassuring mood and waved his hand. All the sprites immediately followed behind him, chirping as they returned to Thorn Castle.
"Ella, take them back to the worm room. I'll visit you later."
"Whoa, Ella will beat up anyone who doesn't listen!" Ella got Liszt's order and immediately swaggered around. It turned out that Ella had become Liszt's trusted subordinate. Otherwise, why would Liszt choose it instead of the other great elves?
Although Liszt's original intention was that Ella was more irascible, the deterrence of a bully was always stronger.
Under Ella's banishment, all the little elves had to fly along the corridor back to the worm room. Only Aini remained unmoved and still followed Liszt.
Aini could not wait to get close to Leo and sniff the sulfurous smell of fire.
"Master, are you going to rest for a few days before leaving, or are you going to wait until after the New Year's Day?" Butler Carter waited for Liszt to comfort the elves before asking.
"I'll leave after a few days. It depends on the situation during the New Year. I may not be able to return to Thorn Castle for the New Year."
"If Master doesn't celebrate the New Year at Thorn Castle, this year's New Year will not have much of an atmosphere. The atmosphere of the first New Year's of Thorn Castle last year is nostalgic." Carter said regretfully. Last year, the Taro family and the Tulip family celebrated the New Year's in Thorn Castle.
Liszt smiled. "Even if I don't come back in time, Thorn Castle will celebrate the New Year as usual. Carter, you'll be responsible for letting the servants celebrate the New Year together."
"Master has always been so kind." Mrs. Mawson came over with a cup of steaming hot milk tea, "This is freshly brewed Banpo milk. The steward of the cattle farm has just delivered a batch of fresh milk. This is the fresh milk from the cows specially marked by the master."
Banpo cattle were divided into different grades. The few cows that were directly infected from the embryonic stage belonged to the purebred dragon breed and had not yet reached the age of milk production.
Although the adult cows that were directly infected were not pure enough, the quality of their milk was still very high, and it had always been Liszt's exclusive milk.
Liszt took the cup and took a sip. Suddenly, the aroma of milk filled his mouth. "Well, I haven't had fresh Banpo milk for a long time. It makes me feel like I've returned to the leisure time of the past."
"Master, you've really been too busy this year."
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Liszt drank up a glass and a half of milk, then said with some emotion, "Yeah, it's been too busy this year."
The three dragons had to be raised, and the Flame Island had to be developed. Thousands of things could not be separated from his maintenance.
It seemed that from the moment he rode the fire dragon Leo, life was like a horse driven by a whip, galloping non-stop. He never stopped to enjoy a few days of undisturbed life without any trifles. After thinking about it, the poor days in Flower Town were the most pleasant.
He dreamed of riding a dragon and patrolled the crops of the territory every day. Life was simple and he didn't have to think too much.
Those days could no longer be returned.
As a Dragon Knight, he carried the ambition of building a country. Since he had chosen this more difficult path, he must go on unswervingly.
"Mrs. Morrison, ask the maid to prepare hot water. I'm going to take a bath later."
"Yes, Master."
"Mr. Carter, get ready. There will be a banquet at Thorn Castle tonight. All officials on Black Horse Island are invited to attend."
"As you wish, Master."
After giving the order, Liszt took Ainphent out of the castle and walked to Leo's resting place. The three fire dragon chicks were still circling around Leo, but they did not dare to call out anymore. Leo would not be polite to them just because they were Liszt's pets.
If it weren't for Liszt's will that often killed the evil thoughts of the fire dragon, I'm afraid the three birds would have been stuffed in between Leo's teeth.
"Ainphent, go, I'll have a good chat with Leo. You can touch them if you want." Liszt smiled and patted Ainphent's head.
"Hey, thank you, Liszt." Ainphent flapped his transparent wings and couldn't wait to fly to Leo's side. He reached out and touched a scale, then took his hand back and smelled the sulfur smell on his hand. His expression suddenly became intoxicated.
"Oh!"
Leo was very upset. Although Ainphent was the size of a flea in his eyes, he still didn't like being approached by little things.
Liszt used the Dragon Heart Code to negotiate with him.
"Leo, I plan to move Ainphent to a place near the volcano where you train. In the future, when you come out to bask in the sun, let him touch you."
"Why would I allow a flea to touch my body!"
"He's evolving into a dragon elf, which will be of great help to me. Isn't helping me the same as helping you? Think about it carefully. "
"I need magic potions. Touch ten potions at a time!"
"You're robbing me!" Liszt stared at him. "One potion at a time, no bargaining allowed!"
In the end, after Leo asked for a sky-high price and Liszt sat on the ground and argued fiercely, one human and one dragon reached an agreement to touch two potions at a time. The "once" here meant a complete enjoyment, not just touching a scale once. Otherwise, with Ainphent's method of touching scales more than ten times in a short period of time, Liszt would be completely defeated in two days.
After setting the price, Leo laid down on the pile of rocks and fell asleep, leaving Ainphent to continue touching and indulging in the process.
…
"Mission completed. Reward: a jade mine."
Being intoxicated by the smell of the fire dragon, Ainphent's worries were all swept away. Liszt's smoke mission was also completed, and he got a jade mine.
However, he didn't know where the jade mine was for the time being. It was probably somewhere on Flame Island.
Only Ainphent continued to be intoxicated by Leo's smell.
Liszt walked back while paying attention to the new smoke mission.
"Mission: After a long period of exploration, the masters of the Fire Dragon Brick Factory didn't figure out how to make porcelain. However, they found that limestone can be made into lime, but this lime doesn't have good adhesion and seems to lack a necessary ingredient. Why not help them solve this problem? Reward: The long-awaited cement. "
Cement had always been a product that Liszt had been looking forward to.
Although the territory had rubber that was ten times stronger than cement, using rubber to build roads and houses was really overkill. Now that rubber was widely used in shipbuilding, equipment, containers, and other industries, it could be said to be a strategic material. He really couldn't bear to use rubber in construction.
Therefore, cement was the best substitute, allowing rubber to be used in more valuable places.
"Finally going to develop cement. It's been a few years since the Fire Dragon Brick Factory was built, and it finally paid off." The Fire Dragon Brick Factory was a large workshop with a brick workshop, pottery workshop, charcoal workshop, and so on. It had been firing cement and porcelain according to Liszt's requirements.
However, porcelain couldn't be fired well, and cement couldn't be made.
