A black ring. Liszt quickly found out the origin of this reward — the statue of the Ancient Archmage who killed the Moonmen. The black ring was found in a native tribe that was conquered by the Holy Tribe. It was worn by the tribe's Listener and was the symbol of the tribe's authority.
Emily, who was commanding the Giant Elephant Orders of Chivalry to level the terrain, brought the black ring back to Firewood Castle.
Liszt did not immediately check the attributes of the ring after receiving it. Instead, he said to Emily, "The Giant Elephant Orders of Chivalry will be handed over to my assistant for now. After you finish your training with Ethan, come to Firewood Castle for this year's New Year."
Emily's eyes lit up and she quickly nodded, "Yes, Emily thanks Your Highness for the invitation!" To be able to spend the New Year's with Her Highness at Firewood Castle was a very meaningful occasion for her.
Emily happily rode on the chocobo Loki and left Firewood Castle for Jade City to train.
Liszt summoned the smoke mission and looked at the new mission.
[Mission: In the blink of an eye, you are about to welcome your fifth New Year's Day in this world. As you grow older, your strength increases, and your identity changes, causing your mentality to change. You are no longer the poor little Baron who hid in the countryside to entertain himself. However, life still needs to move forward. Please wait for the New Year's Day to end. Reward: Unknown reward.]
The long-delayed unknown reward mission appeared once again.
To Liszt, this was like relaxing. He did not need to worry about the smoke mission. He only needed to wait for the New Year's Day to receive the reward.
The weather on Blazing Island in December was dry and cold. Although it was not below zero, everything stopped growing.
In the past, the Moonmen were like World of Warcraft, hiding in their nests and waiting for the next spring to revive. However, with the arrival of the Firemen, Blazing Island had completely changed. The long and dry winter was a good time for construction. Countless serfs worked hard.
Felling trees, leveling the land, reclaiming wastelands, building ditches, building workshops, building wooden houses …
After Liszt trained his Dragon's Qi once, he rode on the Invisible Dragon Bard and entered the Material Boundary. He was prepared to patrol his territory in the last few days of Sapphire Calendar Year 155.
First was the Infernal Realm.
This was the first city on Blazing Island, which was positioned as a big agricultural city. Its development speed had fallen behind the other cities, but it had the largest population. Forests could no longer be seen around the city. Almost all the trees had been cut down, and everything else had been transformed into plantations.
Due to the large amount of water flowing out of the whirlpool cave, the water storage capacity of the whirlpool river was abundant. Mages from the Guild of Magic who studied water conservancy had instructed the serfs to build an irrigation network in the vicinity of Fireforge City.
The canals were connected in all directions, irrigating nearly five million acres of land. As far as the eye could see, there were white ribbons of water, enveloping patches of oasis. To this day, the irrigation network known as the Tinder Whirlpool Irrigation Area was still being excavated.
This world was probably nourished by magic. The physical qualities of humans were much better than those of humans on Earth. They had more strength, fewer illnesses, and were less likely to die.
The Moonkiller serfs who lived in the forest for a long time had better physical fitness than the Flame People civilians.
There was also a team of Trainee Knights who were in charge of excavating rocks from the mountains, and an expert team of Ancient Mages who were in charge of transforming the most difficult terrain.
This made the infrastructure construction very smooth. Even without mechanical equipment such as excavators and bulldozers, the efficiency was no less than China's infrastructure speed on Earth. This made Liszt very satisfied. Under his influence, the Fire Kingdom now had the temperament of an infrastructure maniac.
"We still need to upgrade. The roads in the Tinder Whirlpool Irrigation Area are not good enough. Most of them are dirt roads. The drought in winter is nothing, but when it rains in summer, it will become a disaster. This is not good." Liszt took out a notebook and simply recorded his thoughts. "We need to upgrade all these roads to cement roads as soon as possible … Unfortunately, there is no asphalt."
Compared with hard cement roads, Liszt actually preferred the asphalt road. Unfortunately, this world had never heard of coal, oil, and other resources, so naturally there was no asphalt as a by-product.
"But it's very difficult to build a cement road in a short period of time. The cement renovation of several roads may consume most of the current cement workshop's output … The gravel road is not bad. A shovel-toothed elephant can trample out a few kilometers of country roads in a day. It's enough to pave gravel."
After recording the road problems, he recorded the problems of the plantation.
There were many problems with the plantation, mainly that some plants were not suitable for the climate of Flame Island. Once they left the influence of the cordyceps, they could not even survive. However, overall, the land of Flame Island was much more fertile than that of Black Horse Island. In addition, the Guild of Magic was developing various fertilizers, and the yield of crops per mu increased year by year.
"Rubber trees need to be planted in large quantities, potatoes need to be planted in large quantities, corn needs to be planted in large quantities …"
After the inspection of Tinder City, he immediately flew along Longxin Avenue to Dragon Valley City.
Dragon Valley City was a major mining city. The five major mining areas of black iron, bronze, mercury, galena, and titanium mines were all high-quality and high-yield mining resources.
In general, mining cities, pollution was very serious, but Dragon Valley City was much cleaner.
The reason was very simple. All the ironmaking workshops, copper-making workshops, mercury-making workshops, lead-making workshops, and titanium-making workshops all used Fire Dragon Converters. With Leo's Fire Dragon Super Magic as the power source, no chemical dyes were needed. The furnace temperature was stable, and the efficiency was high.
However, the construction capital of the fire dragon converter was not cheap. For these Fire Dragon Supreme Magic, Liszt did not know how much magic potions he had given Leo.
"The workshop is still too rough and not delicate enough … Next time, I have to remind the development committee to set up professional factories such as steel bars and wire mills as soon as possible. And now there is no shortage of metal. The Guild of Magic also needs to hurry up and develop steam engines. I want to build aircraft carriers in the future! "
"No."
Liszt fantasized in his notebook, "It should be called the Wyvern Mothership, as a place for my dragons to stay when crossing the Devil's Sea … But it seems that A Qi can make a lot of hard ice. When I'm with A Qi, I can take as many dragons as I want."
Leaving Dragon Valley City.
He continued his inspection of the next stop, Jade City, which was not clearly located. This city was backed by Jade Mountain and was currently used for mining jade veins. However, there were also plans to build an irrigation area here and open up new plantations in the future — the cities under the Knight System were mainly agricultural.
The construction of Jade City was slow, so Liszt did not urge him. He rode the invisible dragon Bard all the way south to Estuary City.
Estuary City was a major port city responsible for trade with Tulip Island.
However, the development of Tulip Island had been delayed, so Estuary City could not play its role immediately. Now, the city was targeted for coastal development — to find suitable shallow waters for breeding black giant clams, pink conches, golden-lipped clams, as well as giant algae and kelp in the future.
He also wanted to cultivate mangroves in the swamps of the estuary and expand the breeding of green caterpillars, mallards, and flamingos.
Liszt, who had the Awe of the Phoenix ability, was the king of birds. In the future, he would search for more birds that could be bred in World of Warcraft. Compared to hunting World of Warcraft to provide World of Warcraft meat, breeding World of Warcraft was more cost-effective, and this kind of breeding was sustainable.
"It's been a long time since I've gone down to the sea to search for sea elves and resource-type sea monsters … I'm probably like most native nobles now, setting my sights on the endless resources of the continent. I'd rather wage war and plunder than go fishing in the sea."
He did not change the world, but the world had changed him.
Fortunately, Liszt always had a vision that surpassed this era and this world. "Conquering the sea is also part of my plan. The Devil's Sea can't stop me!"
After inspecting Estuary City, he directly traveled through space to Reed City.
Reed City was a major trade city because the Heart Reed teleportation circle was located here. Before the new teleportation circle was opened, Reed City would be the only channel of communication between Flame Island and the outside world. That was why the development of Reed City was at the speed of building a few buildings in a single night.
There were too many people in the city, and to avoid crowding, Liszt's request was to build tall buildings with six floors. The invention of cement, the use of steel, and the production of bricks all made it possible to build high-rise buildings at a low cost.
Just as he was about to find some flaws in the development of Reed City, the ground in the distance suddenly rumbled as if there was an earthquake. He turned to look and saw a small mountain that blocked traffic. It was as if a great force was slowly pushing it back into the ground, and the ground soon became flat.
"Oh, it's A Qi. She's mastered the Earth Incarnation perfectly!"
