Igniting the dragon bones seemed to be a huge undertaking, and Liszt even doubted that he could complete the ignition by collecting all the dragon magic on Dark Horse Island.

"Hopefully, with the help of the Smoke Mission, it will be possible to set it on fire!"

But the mining of the fire dragon magic has to be postponed, and at this stage he does not have enough serfs to arrange production, and when the construction of Dark Horse Island begins, it will definitely usher in a huge labor shortage.

One last look at the dragon bones, Liszt returned to Port Town.

Because he needs to participate in the knighthood ceremony the day after tomorrow, he doesn't have time to stay on Dark Horse Island longer, and he has to go back to Flower Town tomorrow. In the evening in the port town, a short meeting is held.

"Measuring the island is only measured on the outskirts of the island, but the palace envoys and the tulip castle envoys will definitely land on the Black Horse Island and stay in the port town for a few days. So the secrecy must be done well, Advisor Galtai, how did you arrange it?" asked Liszt.

"My lord, there are four places worth noting on Dark Horse Island, one is the black-blooded BMW on the grassland, which must be strictly guarded to prevent detection. ”

Galtai reported: "The second is the bones of the burial place, no matter what kind of biological residue it is, and if it is discovered, it will eventually cause prying eyes, the third is the dragon brick factory, where the slates, culverts, and pottery recipes must be strictly guarded, and finally there are the rubber plantations, where rubber is too important." ”

Liszt looked at Karl Hammer.

Karl immediately stood up and reported, "At present, the patrol team has completed training and completed the patrol layout of Port Town and Black Horse Harbor. When the emissaries are stationed on Dark Horse Island, I will send a patrol to monitor them throughout the day to prevent them from leaving the port town and the Black Horse Harbor area. ”

"Very good, that's what you need, Dark Horse Island is my territory, they can measure the area, but they can't set foot an inch inside!"

Galtai asked, "My lord, what if they want to hunt here or see the scenery?"

"Tell them that they want to hunt and go hunting on Coral Island, but there is no prey and no scenery on Black Horse Island. Liszt thought for a moment and said, "You can privately stuff a little gold coin into the palace envoys, and ask them to calculate the area of Dark Horse Island as small as possible when they measure the island." ”

On paper, the size of the island is linked to the merits of the war, and the area naturally means that the merits of the war need more, and the small area will reduce the merits of the war.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Dark Horse Island is big or small, it is Liszt's fiefdom.

So he hopes to be a little smaller - like a house of 1 million, which can be made into 800,000 yuan with large and small contracts. The house is still the same house, and the money paid to the owner is still so much, but the taxes will be paid a lot less.

After the issue of confidentiality is formulated.

Liszt asked again, "Except for the wheat worm I just contracted, there are no other elf worms that have been bred?" After he returned to Flower Town, he immediately contracted the wheat worm that had become fat, and then placed the barley worm in Damaitun.

The nineteen elven insects they owned were all comfortably settled.

According to the frequency of rewarding elven insects before the smoke mission, if you go out to fight for more than a month, you can still give birth to at least one or two elven insects.

Galtai spread his hands: "My lord, the knight's glory has infinitely favored Flower Town and Black Horse Island, and we have found that the number of elven insects far exceeds that of any other place on Coral Island...... In the past month or so, there have indeed been no signs of new elf worm breeding. ”

......

In the early morning of the next day, the east was white.

Liszt took the rubber worm triplets on a trip to the rubber plantation to release the power of the three phases to restore the rubber trees that had been cut off a lot of rubber.

After releasing the power of the three phases several times, the rubber bugs did not show obvious growth weakness, on the contrary, they appeared more energetic after each fatigue recovery - this seems to prove that the unique magic of the elves does not affect their growth and evolution.

Subsequently.

Before the sun rises.

Hop aboard the Flower and set off towards Mangrove Island.

He was going to the mangrove forest to investigate the green caterpillars and mallards, and the boat soon sailed to the edge of the mangrove island, which was more dense than before in the summer heat. Many seabirds can be seen flying around Mangrove Island or nesting in the canopy of mangrove forests.

"Drop the boat!" roared Captain Costow.

The sailors immediately lowered their sampans one by one, and by the way, the ropes hung down, and they could slide down the ropes to the sampans. These sampans are small wooden boats, made of rubber bonded thorn ironwood, which are very strong enough to fish inshore, and are products that Liszt is ready to promote.

The first step towards the sea is to conquer the offshore waters and develop the fishing industry.

Combining keel technology with the yet-to-be-born schooner technology, sooner or later he would build an ocean-going fishing fleet capable of whaling and even sea monsters.

At this time.

Glide down the rope to the sampan and make a quick way towards the mangroves, alarming the flocks of seabirds.

Liszt kept an eye on the depths of the mangroves, and soon he saw the green caterpillar rewarded by the smoke mission—it was indeed a fat blue bug, the length of his fingers, covered with curved hair, and at a glance, he could see that this blue hair was somewhat similar to animal hair.

"Put on your gloves, catch this green caterpillar, and feel what it's like to have its fur. Liszt instructed the rowing sailors.

The sailor immediately stretched out his arm and caught the green caterpillar on the branch of a mangrove tree: "My lord, I feel very soft green hair, and it is very pleasant to touch. He simply took off his gloves and touched them with his skin, and after touching them, he said that it was comfortable, soft like the fur of a kitten or a puppy.

Li Si nodded, and then ordered: "Collect a batch of green caterpillars, go back and study its nutritional value and green hair value." ”

Afterwards, the boat continued to row deep into the mangrove forest.

The mangrove forest has a well-developed root system, intertwined roots, and fortunately there will be some waterways, leaning over the sampan, barely passing.

When the red sun rose, Liszt finally set foot on the ground of Mangrove Island.

The ground is soft silt, apparently often washed by the waves, and many new mangrove seedlings can be seen – not just mangroves, but many other species as well. Although the families and genera are different, they all mix together in a similar situation to form this mangrove forest.

"These trees are really weird, not only with strange roots, but also with strange flowers. Marcus broke off a branch and handed it to Liszt, "Your Excellency, please see that its flowers have grown like this, like sticks." ”

Liszt took the branch and quickly remembered something about the mangrove: "This is not its flower, it is its seedling, the seed has grown into a seedling, and once it falls, it will immediately grow into a new mangrove." ”

"Seedlings, seedlings growing on trees?" Marcus was a little incredulous.

"Mangroves live by the sea, and if the seeds do not germinate on the trees, they will be quickly washed away by the waves, but after they grow seedlings on the trees, as long as they touch the mud, they will quickly take root and prevent them from being swept away by the waves...... This may be the reason why mangrove forests can continue to multiply. ”

A quick explanation.

Liszt threw away the branches, and he mainly came to collect duck eggs and look at the green ducks.

By the way, look for the cordyceps of the mangrove elves, and maybe meet Nami. Now that he has been confirmed to be the Viscount of Dark Horse Island, and the announcement of another elf may set off another wave of sycophants such as "knightly glory" - although Nami now feels useless.

At the right time.

A duck's "quack" call came.
