Chapter 0572: The Earl's Ambition (Second Update)
"Take a deep breath, Zyra!"
Seeing that Zyra was about to start sowing magic, Liszt hurriedly stopped her, and then scolded Pike: "Pike, it is forbidden to use insulting words against your own elves!"
Pike looked nonchalant: "Pike, handsome elf, Zyra, as ugly as Fitz, Tam, and Eddie, Nami, bring me food, it's not bad, Mickey, I've never seen it, and must be ugly, Ake, gentle little sister, and Liszt, as handsome as Pike." β
Liszt's face darkened directly: "Shut up, Pike!"
"Hey, hey. Pike sat down lazily and continued to grin at Zyra.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Zyra's anger is hard to calm down, and if it weren't for Liszt holding it in his hands, he would definitely rush up to fight Pike - whether he can fight or not, his attitude must be clear.
"Pike, review the snake text that you taught you today. Liszt stretched out his hand and flicked Pike's brain, and his face was uglyβafter this guy could speak, his mouth became more and more vicious, and he had obviously learned from the gentle Archer and the gentleman's self, but he had not learned the slightest bit of grace.
Pike slammed over to the table, "I'm going to eat jade powder." β
"I'm going to check it at night, I haven't learned the snake language well, and I can't eat anything!"
"Hey, hey. β
......
Returning to the castle with an angry Zyra, it took a long time to calm it down.
Liszt is also very helpless about this, Zyra's temper should not be underestimated, and Pike and Fitz, Tam and Eddie are not good-tempered elves. It's just Nami and Mickey, which makes people worry-free. If it weren't for the suppression of the contract, if it weren't for the fact that the land elves and the aquatic elves didn't live together, they would have to fight sooner or later.
When he was troubled.
In the Tulip Castle, tasting the unpalatable boot-billed giant stork meat, the earl was also very bitter in his heart: "A high-level magical beast, it is so easy to kill, Liszt's strength is probably above all the sky knights...... And most importantly, why kill the boot-billed stork?"
He swallowed a piece of demonic beast meat with difficulty.
Blood dripped: "High-level Demonic Beasts! Flying High-level Demonic Beasts! Why don't you call me to go over and catch it, catch it and then tame it, this is a high-level flying Demonic Beast mount...... I've been chasing for half my life, and I haven't even seen an intermediate flying demonic beast, but now the high-level flying demonic beast has become food on a plate!"
Reason told him that Liszt might not be able to catch the boot-billed stork, and that killing and capturing it alive were two types of difficulty. Moreover, even if it was captured and tamed, it would give priority to Liszt himself as a mount, and he wanted to do so only through trading - father and son had already separated.
The value of a high-level magical beast is absolutely astronomical, just the materials on the body after killing it are probably as valuable as a little elf, and many materials are priceless.
Taming into a mount, not only can it be ridden, but it can also help in battle, and this value will be more expensive. After all, the combat power of high-level demonic beasts is more powerful than that of Sky Knight.
Therefore.
After being sad for a long time, he had to sigh: "This kid's luck is still so incredible, if he tells me one day that he rode a dragon, I will probably be indifferent...... It's numb. β
on the dining table.
His heir, Levi, exclaimed while chewing on the Monster meat: "High-grade Monster meat, although the taste is average, it tastes very good. I didn't expect Liszt to get a high-level demonic beast silently, father, is it so easy to hunt high-level demonic beasts?"
"There are strong and weak high-level demonic beasts, and there are few people who have seen high-level demonic beasts, and even fewer have fought with them. However, this boot-billed giant stork will have a lot of high-level magic, and its strength will probably not be weak, and the strength of the sky knight at the consummation level should be there. The Count agreed with Liszt's estimate.
In the letter, Liszt estimated the combat power of the boot-billed giant stork as a consummation-level sky knight.
"Perfection Tier Sky Knight?" Levi exclaimed.
Li Dun was even more dumbfounded: "Father, Brother Liszt is just an ordinary Sky Knight, how can he hunt down the Sky Knight of the Consummation Level!"
Mrs. Penelope, who came to the dinner, was also surprised: "Speaking of which, William Li, you definitely can't hunt the boot-billed giant stork, but Liszt hunted it, isn't his strength stronger than yours?"
Lady Marie, Livira, and Loria all stared at the Count, waiting for an answer.
The earl glanced at everyone, the hand holding the knife and fork, trembled slightly, then regained his composure, and said lightly: "Fighting with demonic beasts is not simply a competition to see who is stronger than whom, all kinds of factors will interfere with the outcome of the battle. Normally, I probably wouldn't be able to hunt boot-billed storks...... However, with Liszt's talent, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed me. β
He was embarrassed to say directly that he had long been unable to beat Liszt.
It was only an ambiguous mention of Liszt's talent - surpassing him was a matter of "sooner or later", which sounded like "late" to be exceeded, but in fact he meant "early" to surpass. As for whether others can understand, it is not the focus of his attention.
However, he still changed the subject forcefully: "Liszt's talent is amazing, but hard work is just as important. Levi, you're on the verge of storming the Sky Knights, and I hope to hear good news from you soon. β
Levi nodded heavily: "Father, I've been working hard!"
Loria said: "Father, Levi has always worked hard, but his talent cannot be compared with Liszt's after all, and he still needs the strong support of the family. Levi's promotion to Sky Knight one day earlier is believed to be an excellent help to the family's fight for the title of marquis. β
William Li glanced at Luo Lia and nodded: "The family will naturally fully support him." β
Madame Marry smiled and said to the Count, "As the heir of the Tulip family, Levi really needs strong support from the family. Now that you are still in the prime of life, with an excellent heir like Levi's, and a genius like Liszt outside, I believe that after a few pioneering orders, no one can stop the Tulip family's advance. β
William Li heard this.
The previous depression had been swept away, and it was replaced by excitement: "Yes, I have joined forces with Liszt and father and son, and I will take the merits of the pioneering order! In a few years, I will surely set foot on the soil of Ironhoof Island and take charge of one-third of the land of Ironhoof Island!"
......
The Earl's ambition aroused by the boot-billed stork was not clear to Liszt.
He is still busy in the territory, although he has handed over all the work to his subordinates, but he still cares about the progress in every detail.
The main concern now is the cultivation of flame mushrooms.
"Speculation on the Correlation between Magic Net Nodes and Elves and Dragons" is already being written, and the cultivation limit of flame mushrooms will be a very good entry point.
"Lord Viscount, judging from the batch of mature flame mushrooms harvested so far, the quality is indeed much worse than the previous batches. Chrissy replied in the affirmative after refining the magic potion.
"In this way, there are restrictions on the discarding of Cordyceps...... This is a bit embarrassing, I just opened up 2,000 acres of mushroom greenhouses in Shiitake Town, and there are more than 200 acres in Flower Town. β
"Although it is a pity, it is inevitable to reduce the number of flame mushroom greenhouses. When I calculate the most suitable number of acres for the cultivation of flame mushrooms, you can start to dismantle them, Lord Viscount. However, you can replace the Flame Mushroom with a regular Shiitake mushroom, and wait until winter arrives to grow the Ice and Snow Flame Mushroom. β
"That's a way to do that, too. Li Si nodded, "In another month, those big nobles will send people to trade Cordyceps, I hope you can calculate the number of acres suitable for planting as soon as possible, so as not to be in a passive situation in the transaction." β
Chrissy thought for a moment, "It should be almost finished." β
Discarded Cordyceps trade.
The more information Liszt has here, the more he can take the initiative when trading, otherwise the valuation of flame mushrooms will definitely be greatly devalued in a transaction with incomplete information.
