Chapter 0547: The Castle of Thorns and the Giant Algae City (Second Update)
The Count spent half a day on the island of Black Horse, exchanging information with Liszt about many sea elves before leaving.
Liszt did not choose to keep it, and it is very difficult for people today to develop the ocean. There is no mount like the Colorful Whale, and there is no Siren Sister like Ark, and diving can only dive near the coast. But it is almost impossible for the elven insects near the coast to be discovered by diving.
Without the magic eye, relying on the naked eye to find Cordyceps is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
In fact, according to the earl's introduction, many great nobles are aware of the presence of elves in the sea, but few are willing to develop them - the plants of the elves in the sea are also in the sea, and how much technology, manpower, and material resources are required to farm in the sea?
In addition, there are many algae plants in the sea, and in addition to being used as livestock feed, it seems that they do not have much value.
If the potion giant algae was not found in the kelp forest, it was just ordinary giant algae, which was not worth such great effort by Liszt.
If there is that cost to cultivate macroalgae, it is better to spend more effort to go ashore to farm.
But with Potion Algae, it's different, spending a little more to grow potions in the sea still has a huge profit, not to mention the large production of Potion Algae. So on the whole, there is really no second one that can develop elven insects in the sea, except for Liszt.
He's certainly not afraid to exchange technology.
All in all.
The Earl went around the Black Horse Island, and the travel experience was probably not so pleasant. Fast forward to the birth celebration of the elf three days later, and his sense of Pike, the giant elf is also not so good. It's not that Pike ruined his whole face with a tooth, or that Parker wasn't worth much.
Instead, I thought that the sea elves could not be developed, and it was almost impossible to find a kelp elf like Pike, so I was depressed.
Before landing on Black Horse Island, he came in high spirits.
Although Lady Marry is behind his back, he himself is indeed desperate for a new source of elven worms, but unfortunately, the benefits are only for his own son.
"Why can't I meet a monster or a sea monster mount!" he was still complaining, how amazed he was when he first heard Liszt talk about the magical magic of the Colorful Whale Rose, the Colorful Breathing Membrane.
It allows people to breathe in the sea.
This completely tramples the sea as if it were land.
The fire of jealousy burned in the earl's heart, but unfortunately the object was his second son, and he could not snatch it directly. Even if he wasn't his own heir, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to beat Liszt at all now - Loki flying in the sky, Rose swimming in the water, plus a group of Blizzard beasts, this one person is an army.
So he could only be patient, leaning back in his chair, and continuing to listen to Liszt's seemingly casual but in fact profound, talking.
At this time, the family happened to be talking about Liszt's new castle.
I only heard Liszt say: "I plan to build a five-story castle, because the terrain of Black Horse Island is flat, and there are no steep cliffs to rely on as a barrier, so I can only build a higher and bigger one." Although it is a bit empty for me to live alone in such a large castle, you can also go to my castle for a vacation. β
"Have you ever thought of the name of the castle?" asked Loria.
"I haven't thought about it yet. β
"It's called Fort of Algae, and like the Tulip Castle, it's the name of the elves. Livera proposed.
Liszt smiled and denied: "Actually, I prefer to call it the Castle of Thorns." He snapped his fingers, and suddenly there was a cry of "whoa" in the castle, and the next moment the thorny elf Zyra had flown over and landed on Liszt's shoulder, yawning.
He continued, "Pike is an elf of the sea and he doesn't like to live in a castle, and Zyra is my first elf, and it makes more sense to name the castle after it. β
"Whoa!" Zyra didn't know what Liszt was talking about, but that didn't stop her from echoing Liszt's words.
All elves.
Liszt's favorite thing is Zyra, despite Zyra's bad temper.
This is his first elf, and he also feels his unyielding to fate, struggling from the unappreciated thorn worm to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, and turn into a potion-growing elf. He still remembers the shock of seeing Zyra reach out from under the skin of the gray fat pupal stage thorn worm.
He had become accustomed to thrashing her food at every banquet, eating a little and throwing it away.
Zyra is not the most precious of the elves, but she is the most special in his heart.
Mrs. Penelope looked at Zyra, and said with a feigned sigh, "Oh, my poor Pike, not only has it not become a family name, but not even the castle has its name. She was a little unhappy that Liszt had not changed his surname, started a new family, and achieved glory.
"The castle is called the Castle of Thorns. Liszt didn't want to discuss it anymore, "But when Harbour Town becomes a city, I can name it Giant Algae City." β
......
Needless to say, the excitement of the luncheon was accompanied by the compliments of the knights' glory, and the delicacies were served to the table in turn.
After the meal.
The crowd also enjoyed a newly choreographed stage play, "Hymn to the Loyalty of the Knights of Valcy", in which Avril Mask played the heroine, which impressed everyone.
There was a round of applause.
Madame Penelope, in particular, was very fond of this new form of stage play: "It is so beautiful, it is more moving than the monotonous burlesque, it is the same art as piano music." I want to stay here and watch them every day. β
Liszt responded: "This is a play choreographed by the Dark Horse Island Repertory Theatre, and we are still working hard to train new talents for the time being. After a while, when the show is mature, I will let them perform on Coral Island, and you can watch them perform at home, and there is a wider repertoire. β
"It's so good and I can't wait to see them perform on Coral Island. Mrs. Penelope said, and asked her servant to grab a large handful of brass plates and throw them on the stageβthe main income of burlesque, which depends on the audience for rewards.
However, Liszt was no longer prepared to charge in this way.
He chose to rent a house and transform it into a theater, build a large stage indoors, and then sell tickets to the public, taking the high-end route.
After watching "Hymn to the Loyalty of the Valcy Knights", the birth celebration of the elf has officially ended. Liszt personally escorted the convoy out of the castle, knowing that the name Pike would quickly spread throughout Coral Island and further afield as the convoy left.
And his own name will also return to the chat topic of the nobility of the Grand Duchy, reminding those nobles once again that there are geniuses in this world.
