The so-called inspection is more of a general overview of the territory, and it is impossible to investigate in detail the production and population of the territory.

"Is that the Mage's Tower?" asked Count Jonas, pointing to the column-like building in the distance.

"Yes, it was built for Her Excellency Chrissy Truth, the Grand Magician of the Realm, who is not keen on banquets among nobles, and has recently been immersed in some kind of magic, so she did not attend the banquet last night. "Advisor Galtai is the guide of the patrol team.

Earl William Lee and Viscount Liszt obviously won't fall off the shelf as commentators, and Galtai is the most suitable person.

The shape of the Mage Tower is somewhat similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, with a total of five floors.

The ground floor is the highest, nine meters high, and is the location of the Magic Academy, the second to fourth floors are five meters high, the second floor is the rooms for the students and teachers of the Magic Academy, the third floor is the magic potion research workshop, the fourth floor is the magic equipment research workshop, and the fifth floor is six meters high, which is the independent space of Chrissy Truth, bedroom, study, laboratory, etc.

So the total height of the Mage Tower is thirty meters.

In addition to the five floors, there is a basement for storage.

Count Jonas was a little puzzled by this: "Liszt, did you build the mage tower for the magician without even building a castle?"

This does not conform to the style of the average nobleman, and the worship of magicians is indeed important, but it is less important than the castle where the nobles live. In the social system, the aristocracy is always the most noble group of people, and any enjoyment should be obtained by the nobility first, and then it is the turn of other classes.

It is difficult for Liszt to say that he was accumulating experience for architects, nor can it be said that he was trying to win over magicians - because of the dragon slaying incident of the Marquis of Bull, the domestic aristocracy had a very poor evaluation of magicians.

So he smiled: "My castle is structurally different from a standard castle, so before the design was completed, I built the Mage Tower first. In fact, I enjoyed the small castle in Flower Town and was in no hurry to live in a large and famous castle. ”

This reason is somewhat reluctant, normal nobles absolutely build castles first, and the integration of castle attack and defense is the capital of the nobles.

However, Jonas did not continue to dwell on it, and soon rushed to the next inspection site.

This inspection site is the mushroom greenhouse in Shiitake Town, and now the 1,000-acre greenhouse has been completed and is still expanding the scale, basically reaching the scale of 2,000 acres. With the discontinuation of the Ice and Snow Flame Mushroom, basically the shiitake mushrooms here are planted with Flame Mushrooms.

Liszt was also asking the serfs to continue to expand the area under cultivation.

And is already negotiating with the Levi couple, who will send serfs to learn the cultivation technology of flame mushrooms, and promote it on Coral Island in the future - the income of each mu of flame mushrooms will be shared with Liszt, and the specific sharing ratio is still being discussed.

"This is the territory's specialty Flame Mushroom, a potion shiitake mushroom bred by discarding Cordyceps, which belongs to the fire type potion, and we are working hard to expand its output. Galtai explained that the recipe was strictly kept, so he was not afraid of others visiting it, so he stole the flame mushroom.

Count Jonas looked at the endless greenhouses and said in surprise, "How many acres of flame mushrooms have you planted?"

"There are about 2,000 acres and it's still expanding. ”

"Two thousand acres, all planted with flame mushrooms?"

Feeling that Jonas's tone seemed wrong, Liszt on the side couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter, Count Jonas, is there anything wrong with this?"

"How is the harvest of the flame mushrooms in your territory, and what is the effect of refining magic potions?"

"It's just been scaled up, and the first batch hasn't come down yet. ”

Jonas nodded and said to William Li, "Count William Li, didn't you remind Liszt?"

William Li was confused: "Remind what?"

The same is true of Liszt: "My flame mushroom, there is a problem?"

"If there is no accident, the quality of these two thousand acres of flame mushrooms will definitely be very poor, and the effectiveness of the refined potion will also be greatly reduced. ”

"Why?"

"It seems that you really don't know enough about Cordyceps. Jonas said regretfully, "Although there is no restriction on the elves of the mushroom, the scale of cultivation is still limited. Within a radius of 1 million square kilometers, basically more than 1,000 acres, it will be greatly degraded, and some varieties will be degraded if it exceeds 600 acres. ”

"And that kind of saying?" said Liszt, puzzled, "why is that?"

"As far as I know, the source of the magic of Cordyceps discarded is related to the magic web. ”

"Magic net?" It was not Liszt who was surprised, but Count William Lee, "Count Jonas, the magic net you are talking about is the magic net that only the legendary magicians can touch?"

"Yes, according to those magicians, the world is surrounded by magic nets, and whoever can touch them will be promoted to magicians. ”

Jonas shook his head: "It's a pity that I can't tell you more information, because even the great magicians of the palace can't figure out this thing of the magic net." In short, it is likely that the abandoned Cordyceps is limited by the magic net, so it can only be planted with 600 to 1,000 acres within a radius of 1 million square kilometers. ”

Restrictions on abandoned Cordyceps.

The existence of the magic web.

It was undoubtedly a major blow to Liszt's Flame Mushroom ambitions, and the total land area of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire added up to about two million square kilometers, and the territory of the sea was only six or seven million square kilometers. If you plant the entire island country, you can probably plant more than 6,000 acres.

As for Black Horse Island and Coral Island, it is obvious that it does not reach an area of one million square kilometers, that is, Black Horse Island is planted with 1,000 acres, and Coral Island is not planted.

"There are still such restrictions. Liszt was a little overwhelmed, and he planned to rely on the ever-expanding Flame Mushroom to meet the growing demand for potions in the future.

Jonas then said, "It's a shame that you need to shovel out the excess flame mushrooms and make sure you only have a thousand acres...... However, you need to explore how much, because the cultivation density and variety differences of different discarded Cordyceps will lead to different restrictions on the magic net. ”

"It seems that this is the only way. Liszt did not suspect that the other party was lying to himself, the new batch of flame mushrooms would soon mature, and when the time came, he would know that the quality had not deteriorated.

William Li suddenly asked, "Count Jonas, there are also abandoned cordyceps in your estate?"

"Of course, my Moonlight City has 'Blue Matsutake mushroom', which is a water-attributed Cordyceps officinalis. If Liszt wants, I can exchange the cultivation technique of the blue matsutake mushroom for the cultivation technique of the flame mushroom. Blue Dragon Island is far from Black Horse Island, and there is no conflict between us. ”

Liszt quickly gathered his heart.

In response: "Blue matsutake mushroom, I think this kind of cooperation can be carried out." ”

Jonas added: "The trade of abandoned Cordyceps can maximize the benefits, and I can help you contact the nobles who meet the planting conditions and own the abandoned Cordyceps to participate in the multilateral transaction of abandoned Cordyceps." ”

Limitations of the Magic Web.

As a result, there are restrictions on the area where Cordyceps can be planted, so if each nobleman's Cordyceps wants to be sold, they will trade it to the nobles who are far away from them, with some terms - the most important thing is to limit the spread of Cordyceps discarded and prevent the discarded Cordyceps from eventually flowing back to their own area, resulting in the degradation of the species.

However, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is so big, you can always find a few potential customers for Flame Mushrooms.

With Jonas taking the lead, the Flame Mushroom can better trade Cordyceps with other nobles, in exchange for more varieties of Cordyceps, which can be regarded as a disguised alleviation of the restrictions of the magic net.
