Chapter 0240: However, the Earl has already seen through it (the third update, 2200 first supplements)
"This is what I sent. lΔβ
"You invented it?"
"Yes, a shipwreck was found on the beach in Flower Town, and a little treasure was salvaged, including a few crystals. I invited a crystal craftsman and magician to carve crystal lamps for me. Then I found that after the crystal is ground into the lens, the two pieces are superimposed on you, and it can actually magnify the vision. β
The story is naturally a fabricated story, but the Count does not delve into the truth of the story.
For him, it is not important how the telescope was invented, but why the telescope can see far and what is its purpose.
"No wonder many people say that you have been favored by knights for the past year. The Count rubbed the wooden barrel of the telescope and exclaimed, "Can you recognize its value?"
"I think it can be used in warfare, and it should be of great help if you can observe the enemy's movements from a distance. β
"Knight Charge, if you can cooperate with the telescope, you can capture the movements of the local knights more quickly and grasp the most suitable fighter. Its value can be small or even useless, and a large-scale knight charge is a hard hit, but it can also be big. β
The earl charges all the year round, and he has a lot of experience in this: "A small group of knights fights, and they pay more attention to maneuverability and flexibility, and with binoculars, whether it is a sneak attack or a counter-sneak attack, they can seize the opportunity...... Yesterday's game of battle deduction, if I had a telescope, a lot of your sneak attack tactics, would not work at all. β
Li Stat nodded, and then added: "If I had used a telescope, I would have achieved more brilliant tactical results." β
"Well, that's right. β
"So the value of the telescope, it can be huge, and I think it's very appropriate to give it to you as a gift. β
"You've grown up. The earl sighed again, his eyes were full of relief, but he quickly retracted, "The significance of the telescope is very great, and its secrets need to be protected so that outsiders can't know about it!"
"So far, I'm probably the only one who can see the secrets inside the telescope. Liszt suddenly remembered something, "Oh yes, Brad, the crystal craftsman, if you have the heart, you should be able to understand the truth of the telescope, after all, the lens is made by him." β
"Well, this crystal craftsman, he must not let it go. β
"How about you give him and his family to me? As for the principle of the telescope, I can present it to the Tulip Castle at once. Liszt had an idea and spoke. As for the fact that the Brad family belonged to the Free People, it didn't make any sense, and no one could disobey whoever the Count wanted to arrange for Flower Town.
Of course, the Count will not bother with this trivial matter: "I'll let Jacob handle it later." β
Jacob was the earl's domain advisor.
Satisfied with the telescope, the Earl took the initiative to give more benefits without waiting for Liszt to open his mouth: "I heard that you got three thousand catties of iron ingots from Levi's?"
Because Levi and Liszt always did not play with Lytton, such a clear estrangement was something that the Count did not want to seeβboth were his sons.
"Yes, I have improved the process of ordinary fermented liquor to brew semi-finished liquor, and I hope to cooperate with my brother to sell it, and 3,000 catties of iron ingots is a little bit of my brother's heart. β
"You can come up with the technique of baijiu, which shows that you are not only favored by the glory of the knight, but also have the overall situation and long-term planning, and I am full of expectations for your future. I then divided 10,000 catties of iron ingots from the spoils of war as compensation for telescope technology. β
Count shot, atmospheric!
Liszt was very excited: "Thank you, father!"
As a rare resource, 10,000 catties of iron can make a lot of iron, which is very valuable. Perhaps most of the role of iron tools is used to make armor and weapons, but for Liszt, iron is one of the basic materials of industry, and it is a material that wood can never replace.
Even Liszt had fast-growing iron thorns, a wood of ironwood quality.
After thanking him, Liszt called the manservant and brought the five pieces of Mithril Ore he had specially prepared into the study: "Father, this is one of the treasures I have found in the shipwreck, I want to exchange it for some gold coins with you, and the finances of the territory are not enough to make ends meet, and I am very nervous. β
"Mithril?" Of course, the Count had seen this ore, and he immediately recognized it in his hand, in fact, he had armed an elite team of knights with Mithril armor, "These five pieces of Mithril, combined with iron ingots, can make almost ten pairs of Mithril armor, which is very valuable." β
He glanced at Liszt meaningfully.
Liszt looked at each other calmly - he understood what the Count meant, there were many good things that Flower Town had taken out, and the benefits he got from the shipwreck were not only these few pieces of Mithril, but also the few crystals mentioned earlier - but he also understood that the Count would never rob his own son of his own private property.
"How about a piece of Mithril Ore that converts into a hundred gold coins?"
"Of course, thank you for your generosity. β
"Five hundred gold coins can buy two thousand five hundred serfs, which is almost more than the population of Flower Town, are you sure that Flower Town can provide for it?" said the Earl with a smile.
Liszt chuckled inwardly.
I always felt that this smile was more profound than the look in his eyes just now, as if "But the Count has already seen through everything". Under this smile, Liszt felt that all his secrets were hiddenβhe had reason to guess that it was not difficult to know anything with the Count's mastery of Coral Island.
"Could he already know about the existence of Dark Horse Island?"
The thought flashed through him, and Liszt immediately pressed it down, whether he knew it or not, and he only pretended not to know. The reclamation of the desert island is not a matter of common anger, as long as the earl does not know about the existence of the black blood horse, even if the black horse island is known, it will not hurt.
At least for now, it seems that the earl is not clear about the black-blooded BMW, otherwise, even if Liszt is his own son, he will unceremoniously snatch the black-blooded BMW.
The family affection of the nobility, under the huge benefits, is not worth mentioning.
Besides, it's a big deal to snatch the horses and compensate Liszt with some gold coins, how can you shake the relationship between father and son, why not. There is no need for the earl to rob, as long as a little family public opinion offensive is launched, the saliva of Madame Penelope, Madame Marry, Livila, and Levi can drown Liszt.
In fact, from the perspective of interests, it is not necessarily a bad thing to contribute the black-blooded BMW to the earl.
But Liszt was reluctant - the horses were in the hands of the Tulip family, and he didn't know how many years he had to wait before he could give him a little to arm the knights.
Suppressing his thoughts, Liszt just didn't see the Count's deep meaning: "The route of Flower Town is slightly different from the traditional farming route, and I need a large population. β
