Chapter 0440 - Nothing to Climb the Three Treasures Hall (Fourth Update, 2/15 Last Month)
"Increasing the supply of nutrients, just like you do in the territory, collect the manure and water the plants...... Sorry, Liszt, but many people don't really understand what you do in your territory. The Earl said with a frown.
Liszt said calmly: "I've heard people call me 'Baron of Dung' behind my back, and even call Flower Town 'Big Dung Town'. It's just their ignorance, you know the magician's triangle theory, which says that matter, magic, and spirit are one cycle, but in fact nature is the biggest cycle. β
"Tell me about it. β
"I'll give you an example, the grass sprouts from the ground and is eaten by a sheep, and after the sheep digests the food, it produces manure, and where there is manure, the grass tends to grow vigorously. Because the feces are decomposed by invisible small organisms, they become nutrients for plants. In this way, a complete biological chain is formed. β
Next.
Liszt had to recall the biology knowledge he had learned in high school and junior high school, and explain to the Count, who asked all sorts of strange questions.
Answer questions such as "Why does grass grow on dung", "Sheep are consumers, so does it pay", "What does photosynthesis mean, now the sun is hot, and I am photosynthesizing", "How do you guarantee that sheep have to poop to grass, it can be given to trees" and so on.
Finally, there is no need for Liszt to summarize.
The Count had already summed it up himself: "So, the vegetables grown from the dung are the most delicious?"
"Yes, father, you can try it in the territory. The vigorous development of Flower Town speaks for itself, I was called the Dung Vegetable Baron by others, but now I am a young viscount, and I have become an elite earth knight, and there are more than twenty elf insects and two elves in my territory!"
"You are indeed favored by the glory of the knights. β
"Of course, I am favored by knightly glory, but you should also see that in addition to knightly glory, scientific farming is also very helpful. β
The Earl pondered for a moment and said, "You have a certain truth, I will try to grow crops with dung in the territory, and the food that those serfs eat, you can try to grow." But the food that Tulip Castle eats, I will only choose the food that is cultivated by the elves, and that is the food that is safe. β
That's it.
Whether the count believed it or not, Liszt said no more.
After all, he is not a real relative, and he still has a deep estrangement from the earl and others.
......
Not seeing Levi, who had already gone out to invite guests, he left the study and went straight to the small castle next to Coral City to give the gift to his grandmother.
Li Vera is also there.
She was hardly either at the Tulip Castle or in the small castle, and rarely returned to her own territory.
"Is my sister here too, it just so happens that I sent my grandmother some newly caught low-level sea monster meat, which is enough for ten catties. You and your grandmother can taste it together. Liszt had the pink conch meat delivered to the kitchen of the small castle.
"You're here to help out at Tulip Castle?" asked Livila.
"Yes. β
Madame Penelope was delighted to see her grandson coming: "The glorious son of our family has brought me meat, or the meat of a low-ranking sea monster, and it always warms my heart as an old woman...... If your mother had done that, I think she would have been a good countess. β
"Actually, I not only brought you sea monster meat, grandmother, but also a necklace of black pearls that can calm your mind. He took the box from the servant and took out a necklace of black pearls that looked like Buddhist beads.
"This is the black pearl, the kind of pearl that can dispel the magic of the wind attribute?" Li Vera exclaimed, "It's really beautiful, so bright black, although it is not a gemstone, it is more rounded than ordinary jade and crystal. Such a necklace is simply beautiful!"
Liszt put the black pearl necklace around Mrs. Penelope's neck: "It is very flattering to your grandmother's temperament." β
"I'm in my seventies, and there's still any temperament there. Despite that, Mrs. Penelope got up and went to the mirror.
Looking carefully in the mirror, I happily looked at the black pearl necklace around my neck.
Here, Li Vera was already pulling Liszt and asked, "Do you still have a black pearl necklace?"
"I'm sorry sister, it's not easy to save so many black pearls, I believe that when you celebrate your birthday next year, I will definitely be able to get together a new black pearl necklace and give it to you as a gift." β
Li Vera smiled with satisfaction.
Soon.
Madame Penelope had already admired the black pearl necklace and hung it around her neck no longer taking it offβperhaps for fear that her granddaughter would snatch it.
She sat down and said with a smile on her face, "Say, Liszt, what are you going to take from your grandmother?"
"I'm just here to give you a gift. β
"If you just send the meat of a low-level sea monster, I believe you are innocent, but such a necklace will not only have a simple purpose. β
"Well, you can't hide anything from you, grandmother. Liszt coughed, "I don't know if you've heard of it, grandmother, Viscount Younas is going to sell two elven worms to ease the financial pressure on his territory." A nightshade bug, a flytrap bug, I want to buy them but I'm short on money. β
The meaning is obvious.
Mrs. Penelope asked directly, "How much is needed?"
"I estimate that about 2,000 gold coins can take down these two elven worms, so you can lend me 2,000 gold coins, grandmother. β
"Two thousand gold coins, that's not a small amount, you really want to buy these two elven insects? The nightshade worm is a bit useful, the fruit can be eaten, but the flytrap grass insect is useless at all, and can only be used as a potted plant. Mrs. Penelope said.
The auxiliary potion species Nightshade is still under wraps, and no one knows that Nightshade also gave birth to potions.
So the value of the nightshade insect is not high.
"I need them, and every elven worm seems to me to be of great value as long as they are used well. Like my thorny elf Zyra, who was once a thorn worm and is now the brightest jewel in my realm. β
"Now that you've decided, well, I'll raise two thousand gold coins as soon as possible. Mrs. Penelope agreed to lend the gold coins, and continued, "The interest of two thousand gold coins will not be exchanged for this black pearl necklace, they are more precious than the white pearl necklace, so take another potted plant." β
Every time I come to my grandmother's place.
You will never go home empty-handed, a pot of plants is a must.
In anticipation, Liszt walked out onto the balcony and cast his magic eye to take a closer look at the potted plants. However, it was disappointing that none of the bonsai plants showed signs of magic.
So.
He cleaned up his mood and chose a pot of blueberries that were more vigorous and slightly useful.
Blueberries are a relatively common fruit, the taste is good, this pot of blueberries has a lot of hanging fruits, you can try to use its fruits, on the Black Horse Island to grow a batch.
"I'll take this potted plant with me when I return to Flower Town, and now I'm going to trouble you to take care of it, Grandmother. β
So.
The gold coins have been borrowed, just waiting for the two elven worms to get their hands on them.
