Banquet.

It seems that dinner parties are held every day in the castle - for the aristocracy, eating and drinking is normal life.

"Little Papa Island encounters pirates, Mr. Marcus, are pirates rampant in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire?" asked Liszt, eating a roast of meat.

Marcus replied with a deep groan: "If you just look at the news of pirates, almost many small islands have been baptized by pirates, but there may be another reason. ”

"What is the reason?"

"These pirates, most likely, are disguised. Not every aristocratic family can run a lucrative estate, and when they are on the verge of bankruptcy, taking risks can be a shortcut to their own salvation. Especially those nobles who have a grudge against each other, and even use the status of pirates to loot each other's wealth. ”

Hear these bloody messages.

If it was the sixteen-year-old boy in the previous body, it would probably be uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it - it is inconceivable that a nobleman who claims to have noble blood and countless qualities should work part-time as a pirate.

But now Liszt only frowned slightly, and quickly relaxed: "Fortunately, there is a powerful knight order on Coral Island, and Flower Town has not been threatened by pirates for the time being. But we have to be prepared for danger in times of peace, Mr. Marcus, the Cavaliers must train well. ”

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will do my best to train the knight squad to train each and every one of them to become a qualified battlefield knight. ”

Liszt turned to ask Galtai: "Teacher Galtai, the information of the new serfs should be reported now, and I think it is most suitable to talk about official business during dinner." ”

"If you like it, talk about it now. Galtai motioned for a servant to take his coat, took a piece of thick paper from his pocket, and opened it, "There are fifty serfs, in fact, they were originally free people, so after the pirates attacked, they chose to flee very wisely. ”

There is a small Papa city on Little Papa Island, and these fifty people are the citizens of the city and have their own industries.

The relationship between the freeman and the lord was more like that between a tenant and a landlord, while a serf belonged to a slave. For the aristocracy, the serfs were "their own people", and the freedmen were "outsiders". In the event of a war between lords, the lords will choose to protect their serfs, which are their wealth.

There is no such protection for the freedmen, and they deserve to die, just so that the lord can still earn some extra money.

So, there are pros and cons to being a freeman, and not everyone wants to be a freeman.

Some of the freedmen of Little Papa City, seeing that Viscount Little Papa was defeated, and that they and others would be killed and robbed of their property by the "pirates" at any time, and hurriedly fled outside. They wisely chose to seize the ship, taking advantage of the pirates still fighting in the castle to capture a sailboat.

It's a pity that there is only a captain who can take the helm, but there is no skilled crew, and it eventually loses control in the storm.

Therefore, none of them knew how to farm, they were all freemen with crafts. Liszt was very satisfied with this, and for the development of the territory, the craftsman was more important than the mere peasant.

Farmers and other slave traders in the future can buy as many as they want, but it is difficult for craftsmen to get them.

"Blacksmiths, coopers, embroiderers, tailors, bakers, winemakers, shoe-shiners, carpenters, dyers, soapmakers, tanners, sugar workers, salt workers, locksmiths, cooks and their families, oh, innkeepers and horse dealers, and a few petty traders who walk the streets. ”

"What kind of profession is Bunier?" said Liszt, remembering the old man who had spoken to him during the day.

"He's a soap maker who makes all kinds of soaps with the smell of flowers. ”

"Very well, I've had enough of bathing with soaphorn powder, and it's better for him to hurry up and make soap. As a clean-loving person who bathed every day, Liszt had a great demand for soap, but there was not so much soap in the castle, only some soap powder, which was ground from the fruit of the saponaria tree.

Soaphorn powder can indeed be washed, but it is very troublesome and does not feel good when washing.

In fact, Liszt knew a more concise cleaning item - the pancreas.

It is a kind of soap mixed with pig pancreas and plant ash, the production is very simple, with pig pancreas mashed and mixed with plant ash, you can make the simplest pancreas, but no one in Flower Town feeds pigs......

He cut a piece of roast meat, forked it, and dipped it in ketchup.

Grilled meat with tomato sauce, good taste.

After swallowing, he took another sip of seafood soup, and then wiped his mouth with a napkin: "The work arrangement of the new serfs, Mr. Carter and Mr. Galtai discussed. The right ones can be arranged in the town to help them set up shops specifically for the castle's needs. ”

There were too few townspeople to clearly have few needs, and as a lord, he had to enjoy it all.

Only in this way can this group of craftsmen play a role in a short period of time.

Carter leaned over and said, "Yes, sir, I will ask Mr. Galtai for advice." ”

After talking about the new serfs.

Liszt said of another official task: "The efficiency of the logging team needs to be improved, but now new problems have arisen, and there are often other things that lead me and Mr. Marcus away, and at that time, the protection force of the logging team was empty, which was very dangerous. ”

"But we really can't find more strength to protect the demonic beasts of Thorn Ridge. ”

"So, I think there needs to be a way for the logging team to protect themselves even if they encounter a monster. Liszt said lightly.

No one answered immediately, all thinking.

Liszt was not in a hurry and continued to eat his own dinner.

In fact, he was testing a few of you here, and he already had an idea of his own, and this idea had a great possibility of being able to deal with Warcraft.

This approach is derived from the Smoke Mission.

After the rescue of the sea ship in the morning, he completed the task.

"Complete the mission and reward fifty people. ”

"Mission: Danger in the depths of Thorn Ridge can occur at any time, the situation of the logging team is precarious, and the lord who owns a piece of smoky grass should use resources wisely to protect the personal safety of the people, please resist an invasion from the demonic beast. Reward: Very small deposits. ”

The quest has made it clear that you can use Smoked Grass to defend against Warcraft.

The smell of smoky grass, Liszt felt quite deeply, and Warcraft really couldn't stand it, especially the noses of some Warcraft were very sensitive.

Therefore, he plans to make a simple "Warcraft brand mosquito coil" out of smoked grass, and when he encounters a Warcraft, he will order a little.

For "ultra-small deposits", he is determined to get it.

But he didn't say the plan directly, but hoped that someone would come up with this trick, otherwise there would always be a feeling of raising a group of waste firewood that ate and drank for nothing.

After a while, no one came up with a good solution.

This disappointed Liszt, and when he was about to announce his plan, Isaiah suddenly spoke: "Lord Baron, maybe we can use fire!" The beasts are afraid of fire, and among the trees cut down are pine trees, which are very easy to burn, and we can keep burning the branches and leaves that we have cut off, so that the monsters will be afraid!"
