Looking at the content of the smoke snake in front of him, Liszt frowned deeply.

"Mission: The mother monkeys in the fruit stealing monkey training ground are about to give birth, and the skills summarized by the fruit farmer training to pick fragrant coconut fruits will come in handy, but natural breeding is not as fast as catching in the wild, please increase the size of the monkey pack to thirty. Reward: Thieves who spy on the lord. ”

There is no problem with the content of the quest itself, and it is not difficult to grow the monkey herd, and if you buy monkeys from other places, as long as you give enough money, there will always be hunters who will catch the monkeys and sell them.

But the reward made him very confused: "The thief who peeps at the lord, what is this trying to do?"

He has always believed that on Coral Island, Flower Town is a paradise, protected by the blood of the Tulip family, and no one will make up their minds about Flower Town.

But this task reward pointed the finger at Liszt himself.

There's a thief, ready to spy on him.

"Are you reminding me that there are thieves who want to work against me?" Liszt shook his head, not believing this possibility, "Obviously, the smoke quest won't be so straightforward, perhaps, it's the same as the invisible dragon serial quest? ”

With his exploration and understanding of the smoke mission, this possibility is extremely high.

"But in any case, the security and defense of the territory should be strengthened, although the essence of the smoke mission is to reward me, but in case it really hurts the thieves, the loss will have to be borne by myself...... The smoke mission is just a choice of fate, and if you don't prepare, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

He informed the caravan to buy the monkeys.

At the same time, he summoned Carl and Rohm, and ordered the two to strengthen the management of the patrol team and the insect protection team, and strictly pay attention to all movements in the territory.

Marcus is presiding over the work of Dark Horse Island, so for the time being, Philip and Xavier, two servant knights, will maintain the patrol security of the castle.

He also told the steward Carter to pay close attention to the personnel who entered and exited the castle, whether it was a servant or a territorial official or officer.

If a suspicious person attempts to infiltrate the castle, he should be informed.

"Sir, do you notice anything?" Carter looked a little nervous at Liszt's order.

Li Si nodded: "The development of Flower Town is very rapid, and in less than a year, it has changed its appearance. If I change to another territory, I will also have some thoughts that I shouldn't have, and winter snow is about to fall, and I don't want anything unpleasant to happen at the last minute. ”

"I understand, I will strictly advise the servants to keep the castle safe. ”

"Hmm. ”

Liszt replied absentmindedly.

Walk to the window and look at the overcast sky outside.

The temperature has begun to drop, the cold snap has hit, and the sunny days of Flower Town are about to pass, ushering in the annual snow and ice cover time that lasts for more than two months.

His gaze was farther away, where there was a field of nightshade.

At the edge of the nightshade field, a group of serfs are at work, building ice cellars - ice cellars are not easy to build, and building cellars underground to store ice blocks requires a lot of construction skills. What's more, a lot of gold is spent on the construction process.

Liszt dared to build an ice cellar, of course, because he had a profitable business and was full of confidence.

To this end, he contacted Tulip Fort and invited the island's master craftsman architect to preside over the construction of an ice cellar for him. The architect, Mbappe Gravel, is a distant relative of Viscount Younas Gravel of Gravel Castle, and it is he who presided over and built the magnificent Tulip Castle.

When he arrived in Flower Town, he immediately took a fancy to the rock thorns of the Shakers.

"Baron Liszt, with the rock thorns of the Shakers, the difficulty of building an ice cellar will be greatly reduced, and the speed will be greatly accelerated, which is a natural cellar support column. ”

Now the rock thorns released by Shake Sen have reached a height of two meters and a half, with a thick tip at the top and a thick bottom, and the thickest one has a diameter of about 40 centimeters. It can release at least two hundred rock thorns per day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small rock dragon.

The Avenue has already been completed, and the rock thorns are still producing every day, and they are about to pile up into mountains.

Therefore, if Liszt wants to build a new castle in the future, there is no shortage of materials - then again, basalt on Black Horse Island is also a good building material.

"Build three ice rooms for your cellar this year, which is almost enough. If you want to continue the expansion, you can wait until next year, as long as you have the money, you can build as much ice cellar as you want. The ice cellar of Tulip Fort has 25 ice rooms. "Mbappe Gravel doesn't really care about this little project.

He only occasionally came to supervise the work, and the work was carried out by serfs and their apprentices.

The ice room is the room used to store ice cubes in the ice cellar, and the standard ice room can store 300 cubic meters of ice, which is equivalent to the size of a 100-square-meter house.

Three ice rooms, with a storage of 900 cubic meters, plus a little saltpeter left, there is no need to worry about the ice in Flower Town next summer.

When Carter brought him a cup of coffee.

Liszt withdrew his gaze from the window, sat back in his chair, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Carter, do you think we don't look like squirrels for the winter, and as soon as autumn comes, we begin to look around for food to hide and keep for the winter." ”

Carter replied playfully: "I think the squirrel is a very intelligent little animal, and other animals can only starve for the winter, but they can hide in their burrows and eat a little bit of their hard-earned food every day." This kind of life is actually what the civilians of the town look forward to. ”

He continued, "Your arrival has enriched Flower Town and brought them the life they want. ”

This kind of sycophant, Liszt likes to listen to it.

Although he is no longer pure, and all interests are based on himself and from his nobility, he believes that he has indeed made a good life for the commoners of Flower Town.

It is only natural that the people thank him, respect him, and worship him.

If you don't have the above three feelings, you are an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

"They are my lords, and as a lord, it is my duty to lead them to a happy life. Liszt said lightly.

His expression was calm.

There is no pride, no compassion, only the nobility that the aristocracy should show.

If you change it to an ugly nobleman, no matter how noble it is, it's just that, but if you change it to Liszt's handsome face, it directly exudes a huge personality charm.

Carter was immediately excited: "You have inherited all the nobility of the Tulip family and the Taro family, and may the glory of the knights always favor you." ”

......

The touching performances in the castle continue.

In the vast sea outside Coral Island, several sailboats with red tulip flags are riding the wind and waves.

The cabin was stinking and crowded with ragged, yellow-skinned serfs. These serfs seemed to have lost their energy, and lay weakly on the wooden plank, not moving for a long time.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" the sailor shouted, from far and near.

The serfs, who were still alive just now, quickly changed their state and rushed out of the cabin with a roll.

A little slave girl, who was about eight or nine years old, did not stand firmly, and was knocked down by the serf next to her at once, and fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Tears rolled in his eyes as he watched everyone else squeeze out of the cabin to eat, and soon rolled down his dirty cheeks.

Suddenly.

A somewhat rough but very slender hand caressed her face.
