Chapter 0851 - The Price of Touching It Once (First Update)
"I'm back, Aini. β
Liszt greeted Aini, the elf of the phoenix-perched sycamore, and felt its thoughts from the many chaotic elven emotionsβit longed to be close to Leo.
This was originally something that Liszt had to solve, so in response to a reassuring emotion, he beckoned, and all the elves immediately followed him, chirping and returning to the Castle of Thorns.
"Zyra, take them back to the wormhouse, and I'll visit you in the wormhouse later. β
"Wow, whoever is disobedient, Zyra will beat whom!" Zyra got Liszt's orders, and immediately flaunted her might again - it turned out that Zytra had become Liszt's confidant, otherwise why didn't Liszt order other elves to pick it.
Although Liszt's intention was only because Zyra was more irritable, the bully was always more deterrent.
All the elves had to fly back down the aisle to the wormhouse under Zyra's expulsion, leaving Ani unmoved and still following Liszt.
It couldn't wait to get close to Leo and sniff the sulphur-smelling flames.
"Master, when you come back this time, are you going to rest for a few days and leave, or will you wait until after the New Year?" asked Carter Butler after waiting for Liszt to calm down the elves.
"Rest for a few days and leave, depending on the situation during the New Year's Festival, you may not be able to rush back to the Fort of Thorns for the festival. β
"If the lord doesn't celebrate the festival in the castle of thorns, there will be no atmosphere in this year's festival, and the atmosphere of the first festival in the castle of thorns last year is nostalgic. Carter said regretfully that during last year's Fort of Thorns New Year's Festival, the taro family and the tulip family were here for the holiday.
Liszt smiled: "Even if I don't rush back, the castle of thorns will celebrate the festival as usual, and you will be in charge of Carter, so that the male and female servants can have a happy holiday together." β
"My lord has always been so merciful. Mrs. Mawson came over with a cup of steaming milk tea, "The freshly brewed Banpo milk, the steward of the cattle farm has just delivered a batch of fresh milk, which is the fresh milk milked out of the cows specially marked by the old man." β
Banpo cattle have grades, and the cows that are directly infected from the embryonic stage belong to purebred dragon cows, and they have not yet reached the age of milk production.
Directly infected adult cows, although the breed is not pure, but the milk quality is still very high, has always been Liszt's exclusive milk.
Liszt took the cup, took a shallow sip, and suddenly the aroma of milk filled his mouth: "Well, I haven't drunk fresh Banpo milk for a long time, so I can go back to the leisurely time of the past." β
"Sir, you've been so busy this year. β
Goo dong coo dong is not too hot, Liszt directly drank a cup of Banpo milk, and then said with some emotion: "Yes, this year is too busy." β
The three-headed dragon to be raised, the Flame Island to be developed, and a thousand things are inseparable from his maintenance.
It seems that from the beginning of riding the fire dragon Leo, life is like a horse driven by a leather whip, galloping non-stop. I never stopped to enjoy a few days of undisturbed and unencumbered life - I think about it is still the most comfortable day in Flower Town.
With the dream of riding a dragon, patrolling the crops in the territory every day, life is simple and there is no need to think too much.
There is no going back to those days.
sighed for a moment, as a dragon knight and burdened with the ambition of building a country, since he chose this more difficult road, he must unswervingly go on.
"Mrs. Mawson, ask the maid to prepare hot water, and I'll take a shower later. β
"Yes, sir. β
"Mr. Carter, you are ready to hold a banquet at the Fort of Thorns tonight, and invite all the officials on Dark Horse Island to attend. β
"As you wish, sir. β
After giving the order, Liszt walked out of the castle with Ani and walked towards the place where Leo was resting. The three young Flame Dragon Birds were still circling around Leo, but they didn't dare to call anymore, and Leo wouldn't be polite to them just because they were pets raised by Liszt.
If it weren't for Liszt's will to kill the fire dragon from time to time, I'm afraid these three birds would have stuck between Leo's teeth.
"Aini, go ahead, I'll have a good chat with Leo, and you can touch it if you want in the future. Liszt smiled and patted Ani's head.
"Bah, thank you, Liszt. Ani flapped his transparent wings and couldn't wait to fly to Leo's side, reaching out to touch a piece of scale, and then withdrawing his hand, sniffing the sulfur-smelling flame on his hand, his expression suddenly intoxicated.
"Oh roar!"
Leo was upset, and although Ani was the size of a flea in his eyes, and he didn't feel it no matter how much he touched it, he still didn't like to be approached by small things.
Liszt used the dragon's heart code to negotiate with it.
"Leo, I plan to move Ani to the vicinity of the volcano where you cultivate, and let him touch it when you come out to bask in the sun in the future. β
"Why should I allow a flea to grope me!"
"It's evolving, it's going to evolve into a dragon elf, and it's going to help me a lot. And helping me means helping you, think about it. β
"I need potions, touch ten potions at a time!"
"You're robbing money!" Liszt glared, "one at a time, no bargaining allowed!"
In the end, in the fierce quarrel between Leo asking for the price and Liszt sitting on the ground to repay the money, one person and one dragon reached a price agreement for two potions at a time. Once here refers to a complete enjoyment, not a touch of the scales. Otherwise, with Ani's way of touching the scales more than a dozen times in a short time, Liszt would have been eaten up in two days.
After the price was set, Leo fell asleep on the rubble, and let Ani still touch and revel there.
......
"Complete the quest and be rewarded with a jade vein. β
Drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, intoxicated by the breath of the fire dragon, all the troubles were swept away, Liszt's smoke mission was completed, and a jade vein was in hand.
However, it is not known where the jade vein is for the time being, and it is still somewhere on the Island of Flames.
Leave Ani to continue to revel in Leo's breath.
Liszt walked back as he focused on the new smoke mission.
"Mission: After a long period of exploration, the masters of the Fire Dragon Brick Factory did not find out how to fire porcelain, but they found that limestone can be fired into lime, but this lime is not very cohesive and seems to lack some necessary ingredients, so why not help them solve this problem. Bonus: the long-awaited cement. β
Cement has always been the product of Liszt's expectations.
Although the territory has rubber ten times stronger than cement, it is really overkill to use rubber to build roads and houses. Now rubber has been widely used in shipbuilding, equipment, containers and other industries, can be described as a strategic material, he really can't bear to use rubber in the construction industry.
Therefore, cement is the best substitute to allow rubber to be used in more valuable places.
"Finally to develop cement, it has been a few years since the dragon brick factory was built, and it has finally given me a return. "The Huolong Brick Factory is a large workshop, which has a brick-burning workshop, a pottery workshop, a charcoal workshop, etc., and has been firing cement and porcelain according to Liszt's requirements.
However, porcelain is not burned well, and cement cannot be made.
At the critical moment, Liszt had to step in: "The lime is not cohesive enough, and it lacks a little necessary ingredient...... What are the necessary ingredients missing, and I don't know much about cement, how can I help them solve it?"
