Chapter 0045: Smoked Grass and Cow Harvest Friendship
Fortunately, after more than 500 words of reminiscence, Griff finally returned to the main line of dragon slaying.
"I have to assure you that I really swore to quit smoking, but then I forgot because I was shocked by the invisible dragon's actions. Oh my God, it snatched the smoked grass from my hand, and it ate it, and I thought it must have been a delusion for the taste after not taking a bath for years. ”
"I'm sorry, I spoke ill of the invisible dragon, in fact we became friends later. Because it ate my smoked grass and did not kill me, and I, having succeeded in exchanging a bundle of smoked grass and two cows, for the friendship of the invisible dragon. Frankly, the invisible dragon wasn't big, just a little bigger than a house. ”
"I've seen Grand Duke Maple's bronze dragon, it's a beautiful metal dragon that is nearly thirty meters long, and the invisible dragon looks like it's a child, oh, dragons don't have children. ”
"We spent an afternoon happily together, and in the evening it came up to me, shook its body, and then a jewel fell into my hand. It flew away, but it left its gem, a fingernail-sized gem that I wore on my finger ever since. ”
"Haha, now you know where my spatial ring came from. There have been countless noble knights who have offered to take this ring, but I won't change it, because it is a testimony of the heart-to-heart friendship between me and the invisible dragon!"
At this point, the Invisible Dragon chapter ends.
Griff quickly advances to the next story – Outwitting the Headless Horseman.
When Liszt quickly finished the novel, which was only about 50,000 words, there was no more information about the invisible dragon in the future, and even the space ring only appeared once.
It's as if Griff wrote about the invisible dragon just by remembering it, and forgot all about it when he finished writing.
"It seems that the reward this time is the little knowledge of the invisible dragon recorded in "The Travels of the Earth Ranger Griff...... Can brave and upright people see the invisible dragon, then, I don't think there is a single possibility, neither brave nor upright. "He's very self-aware.
However, he seriously doubted the authenticity of this information, how could he rely on courage and integrity, which are intangible, invisible, and incomprehensible, to decide whether to see the invisible dragon or not?
"This story always feels like a copy of 'only a pure girl can see a unicorn'. ”
The heroines of many knight novels are the daughters of nobles who ride unicorns, and Liszt has read a few books, and all of them swear that only pure, beautiful, innocent, and kind women can be accepted by unicorns. As for the existence of the legendary creature of the unicorn, Liszt expressed doubts.
He is as suspicious of unicorns as he is of invisible dragons.
Especially the knights of courage and integrity can see the invisible dragon, this strange setting.
He still quickly captured the useful information: "Griff used the smoked grass to resist the slaughter of the invisible dragon, and later said that he exchanged a bundle of grass and two cows for the gem of the invisible dragon...... My current smoke quest rewards smoked grass, and it seems that this is still part of the chain quest. ”
The first is the message of rewarding the invisible dragon.
And then there's the new information that rewards the Invisible Dragon.
Now it's time to reward the Invisible Dragon's favorite smoked grass.
It's all related bonus content, like unlocking a large chain of quests, so the goal of the quest is easy to deduce - there may really be an invisible dragon that is coming to invade Flower Town.
"Cows?" said Liszt, "the cow farm seems to have two cows that are too old to produce milk, but the castle has plenty of food and has not yet served them. Perhaps, these two old cows are the dinner I need for the invisible dragon?"
The information is still not clear enough, and the preparation is still not sufficient.
Liszt felt that it was imperative to continue to complete the mission and get more details about the Invisible Dragon Serial Mission, so that he could formulate a coping strategy.
Dangdang.
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in. ”
Old Carter, the butler, walked in with an oil lamp: "Master, it's late at night, you should rest early." ”
"I was getting ready to go to bed. Liszt closed the book and put it back on the shelf, frowning slightly, because the smell on his hands was not good, "Mr. Carter, by the way, light another box of perfume in the study, I really can't stand the strange smell of these pachy papers." ”
This time, the Count gave a carriage of books, which brought a large amount of fishy smell, and although Liszt had already ordered the fragrance, it could not be concealed.
There is no such thing as a snow-white and clean white paper.
There is only yellow, stiff and long-standing thick skin paper.
This kind of paper is made of animal leather inner substance, which is specially tanned after the whole is peeled off, and the production cost is very high, but it is not easy to preserve, and it is not convenient to write. Liszt genuinely wanted to get the blank paper out of place of the thick paper, but he also knew that now was not the right time.
First, blank paper is not an urgent need.
Second, there is no copyright law, and the big nobles will snatch papermaking technology at any time.
Just as he did not set out to study horseshoes, saddles, or cement, he had in mind the general structure of a schooner, which, once invented, would definitely contribute to the development of the Age of Discovery.
In fact, the most important thing is - no one.
The whole town, a total of 1,990 people, no, 1,991 people, recently the town died two old people, gave birth to four newborns, one of them died.
Of these 1,991 people, excluding the elderly and children who have no labor force, there are 1,500 people left to work, which is very rare. They have to farm the fields, they have to build roads, and now they have to build oyster tuns, and soon a group of people will come and sew gloves, cast hammers and shovels, and produce fishing equipment for the fishermen.
As for Liszt himself, he was also very busy, and he had to keep cultivating.
"Fire Dragon Diamond" and "Flame Wave" have been mastered, but it takes time to master them, and after having the Red Blood Sword, he has become more and more diligent in his cultivation, hoping that he can also break through the shackles of the earth and leap into the sky.
Carter lit the deodorant.
Blowing out a candle, he said, "Sir, shouldn't the castle recruit a few more servants?"
"Are there not enough men?" Liszt was a little surprised, ten servants, serving him alone, should be enough.
Carter said solemnly: "Wheat worms, peanut worms, tulip worms, and alfalfa worms are all good babies, but their cordyceps need to be patrolled and taken care of by the manservant every day, and these jobs are arranged for Jesse." Now that the corn has also begun to be planted, and the thorn worms will also be placed, Jesse is too busy. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Shake Sen, Lilong Horse, Fire Dragon Horse, and several other horses all need to be taken care of by manpower. The seafood in the castle also had to be collected by servants before the oyster tun was built. And the kitchen, as the number of dishes increased, and Mrs. Abi already complained that she was lacking in skill. ”
Castles overlap with cities and towns in many ways.
However, castles tend to be self-cultivated, while towns govern the entire territory and collect taxes. Liszt was not satisfied with this system, and felt that it hindered the development of the productive forces, and the greatest obstacle was the castle, a twisted monster that held all the spirits in its hands and held the maximum productive forces firmly in bondage.
After all, the greatest role of the castle was to provide a luxurious life for the aristocracy, not to liberate the productive forces.
Knowing this, he didn't change much of his mind - he was a nobleman himself!
"Since there are not enough men, Mr. Carter, you will be in charge of recruiting new servants. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
