The discovery of fast-growing iron thorns is as important to Flower Town as a chemical reaction adds a catalyst or an athlete gets a doping shot.

Although it is still necessary to wait for the complete completion of the Thorn Worm chain quest before you can start planting a large area.

It did not prevent him from bringing back the trunk of the fast-growing iron thorn, and at the dinner, he gathered the town officials to study and discuss its role together.

"If it can grow to two meters tall, it can be used to build a house, which is much harder than the cedar we use, and the house built with it, I bet, can survive the storm. ”

"Blair, you don't think about it all, wood must not only be strong, but also waterproof, mothproof, and rotten. ”

"I don't think I'm thinking about it all, you can see it's very compact, it's about the same as the rock wood cut by the logging team, and the rock never has insects. Blair retorted that he was talking about rock trees, which are trees called rock trees that like to grow in crevices in rocks.

Rock wood is very precious, and a two-hundred-year-old rock tree can be sold for fifty silver coins.

Cutting down the trees in Thorn Ridge, less than ten rock trees were found, of which only three were 200 years old, and the other seven were less than 200 years old.

Stone wood, which has the same nature as rock wood, is also extremely rare.

Galtai came up with an idea: "We can sink it into the water, and if it sinks, it is similar to rock wood, and if it does not sink, it is not good enough." ”

"That's right, give it a try. ”

So the servant brought a basin of water.

With great difficulty, he removed a section of the trunk and threw it into a basin of water, where the trunk sank directly to the bottom of the basin.

Seeing this, Blair said proudly: "Look, everyone, I never tell lies, fast-growing iron thorns are as good as rock wood!"

Marcus, who has always been taciturn, also spoke: "The texture is sturdy, the trunk is straight, it is suitable for making the barrel of a knight's spear, and it can also be used to make an arrow shaft, it should be more suitable than birch." ”

The shafts of ordinary knight guns and arrows are made of birch.

Birch City on Coral Island is dedicated to planting birch trees to produce birch wood needed to make weapons. The tulip family also has a birch elf.

"If it's really better than birch, we can supply the Tulip Castle, and I'm sure the Earl will like a better gun and arrow shaft. ”

"In particular, it can be born quickly, which is incredible. A rock tree grows for 200 years, and it is only the thickness of a palm, it is only a seedling that has just grown, and it is already the thickness of a wrist. ”

"I felt like I saw a gold coin bush. ”

"Haha, it's a tree that bears gold coins. ”

"I can't think of the most useless thorns, but instead become the most useful wood. ”

The laughter and laughter at the banquet are all looking forward to the future of fast-growing iron thorns.

Liszt and the others finished discussing.

Raising his wine glass, he was full of spirit: "For the time being, we can't be sure that it is a cash cow, you can continue to pay attention to it, and study it, and thoroughly dig out its value." If it is really a cash cow, it must be planted on a large scale, and it is best to plant fast-casting iron thorns in the places where Thorn Ridge cannot be cultivated. ”

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted, "As you wish, Your Excellency." ”

......

After the dinner.

A slightly drunken Liszt took a walk in the castle's manor, played with Shake Sen for a while, and then planned to go back to his study to read, he had recently prepared to learn a foreign language, the language of the Eagle Kingdom.

At present, there is only the old Grande who travels north and south, and at the same time can speak snake language and wind language, so he temporarily handed over the flower caravan to Abagon's management. He returned to Flower Town and served as a translator, coordinating the management of the four hundred and seventy-six serfs who had just arrived, while also taking care of the teaching of wind language.

Mastering a foreign language is still somewhat useful.

However, the elder Grandet was too busy to teach alone, so he contributed to Liszt a notebook from his early years of learning wind language.

In this notebook, all the records are more everyday wind words, how to pronounce them in snake script.

Learning is boring, at first glance it is interesting, but after two days of watching, he has little patience. When passing by the worm house, simply go in and tease your elf worm.

Nine elven worms, all in a large box.

It's like raising silkworms, but these "silkworms" are colorful and vibrant. He stretched out his hand and touched them one by one, the appearance of the elf insects was very smooth, and the touch felt very good. Some are lazy and motionless, while others are energetic and wander around, including thornworms.

The gray-white thorn insects, not to mention beautiful, are the most inconspicuous of this group of elf insects.

But looking at it now, he always felt that this thorn insect was a bit of a standout.

"This is ......" The stimulation of the alcohol made his brain react a little sluggish, and after a pause, he suddenly became excited, "Fattened, the thorn worm has become fat! It is significantly larger than other elf worms! This is a signal of evolution!"

The Tulip Fort is home to more than a hundred elven insects.

When he was a child, he played with elf insects a lot, and even witnessed two elf insects break through into elves. Before the breakthrough, the biggest change of the elf insect is "fat", which is usually called the fat pupal stage. The elf, unlike the butterfly, does not pupate, it just becomes fat.

In the process of fattening, the elf insects will slowly decay and age.

If you are unlucky, you will die of old age and turn to ashes.

If you're lucky, one day, the elf will break through the skin, break out of the chrysalis, and fly with wings.

"It's the pupa stage!"

Liszt's drunkenness was completely sober, and his nervous emotions spread throughout his body, mixed with apprehensive surprises. The fat pupal stage is certainly a signal of evolution, but it is also a signal of death, and the elf worm will not last too long in this period, at most a month or two. If you don't succeed, you die, and there is no third way to go.

"It's only a month or two, and I'm afraid I can't even finish the thorn worm serial quest in this little time, so I have to help it!"

Fat thorn worms, slithering around in the box, not stopping for a moment.

From time to time, he raised his head and looked at Liszt with black sesame eyes, expressing his close feelings. But at the same time, Liszt could feel that there was also a wave of restlessness in his emotions - perhaps it was his desire and impulse to evolve, and if you did the math, it had already affected the four mutant thorns.

There is no detailed explanation for the effect of the elven insect on the plant, but Liszt is sure that it is definitely related to the mood of the elven insect.

The thorns during this period of time were very violent and mutated continuously.

"How can I help it?"

"Provide it with nutrients and fertilize Cordyceps every day?"

"Expand the area of thorn bushes?"

"I feel that these are ordinary means, and they are effective but not decisive for evolution...... The probability of evolution is more about luck. "Sufficient nutrition, to a large extent, can breed elf worms, but the nutrition is sufficient, but I dare not guarantee that the elf worms can break through.

Come to think of it, the only thing that can really help the thorn worm is the smoke mission.

"We must complete the thorn insect serial task as soon as possible, first of all, we must complete the current 'Bottleneck of Douqi' task, and starting tomorrow, I will personally supervise the construction of the workshop!"

The resolve has been made.

Liszt let go of his nervousness and smiled at his elven insects, especially the thorn insects.

The fateful moment has come: "Little one, come on." ”

As if sensing Liszt's encouragement, the thorn insect stood up halfway, and its sesame eyes met Liszt's, and his emotions were high.

It's confident!
