Understood the meaning of the treasure.

Liszt held back his excitement and asked calmly: "Captain Costor, can you understand this navigational chart?"

"My lord, this chart is a general chart, there is nothing too complicated, it should be that this mouse itself is not proficient in navigation, so I can completely understand the route of the chart. Costor said confidently, the charts that looked distorted, abstract, and strangely symbolic were not at all difficult for him.

"So, is the island where the horses live far from the coral island?"

Judging from the nautical charts, the island is about 130 kilometres north of Coral Island, and at the speed of the Flower, which is 5 knots, it takes about fourteen hours to sail to the Kuama Island without encountering currents and storms. Costor wrenched his fingers, calculated, and replied.

Liszt math is not bad.

According to Costor's introduction, a little estimate yielded a speed of less than two kilometers per hour, and the speed of the Flower was about nine kilometers per hour.

It's not as fast as riding a bike.

He vaguely remembered that the narrowest part of the Taiwan Strait seemed to be only 135 kilometers, that is, the distance between Coral Island and Junma Island across the Taiwan Strait.

"Captain Costow, when will the Flower be able to sail to Horse Island?"

"My lord, if you just go to sea, the sailor apprentices can already do it, after all, the distance of the horse island is not very far, and it belongs to the range of offshore navigation. But the sailors are too inexperienced, and in the event of a storm, they will have nothing to deal with, and the probability of an accident is extremely high. ”

"How long can I go to sea if I train with all my might?"

"If the lord can let me beckon thirty sailor apprentices and train every day, within a month, I can let the Flower set sail for the Sea Horse Island!"

Liszt made a decision in an instant: "I will ask Galtai's advisor to fully cooperate with you, and in a month, you will set off for Steed Island...... Give the island a name, and it's called Black Horse Island. ”

Costor said excitedly: "I am willing to serve my lord!"

"Print this nautical chart and erase the picture of the cave wall. ”

When this was done, the Flowers returned.

......

Night.

At the dinner party at the castle, it has become customary to sum up the day's work. Liszt was not a stingy lord, and he didn't mind his subordinates eating and drinking in the castle, which was also a means of wooing people.

"My lord, if the clues left by the rats are true, we must control the Dark Horse Island as soon as possible to prevent it from being occupied by other forces. Then get the battle merits as soon as possible, get the sub-seal, and divide the Black Horse Island into a fief for adults. War horse resources are more important than any other resource!" Marcus said solemnly.

In view of the fact that there are many desert islands in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, the meritorious lord can designate the desert island as a fief by himself.

When the fief was not obtained, all the desert islands in this blue sea theoretically belonged to the Grand Duke of Sapphire - you can choose to operate secretly, this is a default unspoken rule, once the Grand Duke chooses the desert island as a fief to be divided into a certain lord, he must immediately give it up.

However, this kind of stealthily operating a desert island is still rare.

The first aristocracy did not lack land for farming, what was lacking was elves and metals; the news of the operation of the second desert island was difficult to guarantee that it would not leak out, and once the operation reached a certain level, it was inevitable that the Grand Duke would forcibly divide the island. Theoretically, everything that is produced on the island will be transferred to another lord.

Therefore, stealing a desert island is more than worth the loss.

For example, the Tulip family, since the acquisition of Coral Island, has been cultivated for 20 years, and one-third of the land is still uncultivated wasteland.

Before Liszt's arrival, a large part of Flower Town was also wasteland that was uncultivated—as of now, there are still many places that are wasteland, not to mention Thorn Ridge to be developed.

"The news must be blocked, and all those who know the news must be seriously warned, otherwise the Black Horse Island will inevitably be seized by other lords. ”

Galtai said with the same seriousness.

Both he and Marcus are very aware of the importance of war horses to nobles, especially the excellent blood war horses like Lilong horses, which play a vital auxiliary role in the strength of knights on the battlefield.

It can be said intuitively.

When charging on the battlefield, an elite earth knight riding a horse may not be able to beat an ordinary earth knight riding a dragon horse.

"Well, the news is limited to all of you, as well as Costo, Roma, and my valet Thomas. "Liszt is as good as a stream," and when the sailors were trained, they and their families migrated directly to Heima Island to live...... Of course, first of all, you have to look at what kind of environment Black Horse Island is. ”

Galtai said optimistically: "The Black Horse Island, which can raise such a divine horse as the Lilong Horse, must be a flat green island, and I think it must be a large area, maybe enough for an earl." ”

Liszt cut a piece of Warcraft meat, swallowed it, and seemed to just say in passing: "No matter how big it is, it is destined to be my island...... Galtai advisers, in the matter of training sailors, you have to actively cooperate with Costo, and try to meet as much as possible. ”

"I understand!"

......

The Lilong Horse Group on Dark Horse Island began to secretly expand the strategy.

The work of the logging team is still very much fanfare, with hundreds of people cutting trees en masse, limited by tools, and individual may not be efficient, but the overall progress is fast.

About a third of the trees in Thorn Ridge to the north have been cut down in just five days.

A large forest of thorns around the dock has been cut down, and only a few wild fruit trees remain.

It will take more than half a month to complete the new smoke mission, and it is useless to rush it. Since Galtai became a consultant, his work enthusiasm has been high and he has been too proactive, causing Liszt to become idle again for a lot of time. So domesticating Juan Fu has become his current research topic.

Juan Fu's feathers are gradually hardening, and the magic power in his body is gradually abundant, if it weren't for the chains on his feet, I'm afraid he would have to learn to fly.

"Old Grande, a huge coral island, you really can't find even a falconer?"

"My lord, I have asked the people of the flower caravan to inquire in various cities and even small towns, and there are indeed no craftsmen who can tame falcons. "Old Grande, the captain of the flower caravan who came to the castle to report on his duties, replied.

"Keep asking. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Sending away the old Grande, Liszt rubbed his head, although the cries of Juan Fu's "Quack" and "Quack" were very annoying, but after all, it was a demonic beast raised since childhood, and it was a pity to keep it for killing and eating meat.

However, I didn't bother with the scroll for too long.

Take care of the nightshade manservant and come back to report the good news: "Master, the nightshade elf worm is born!"

Quickly rushing to the nightshade field, Liszt saw the black, shiny nightshade insects, like black gems, which was very interesting.

Simply seduced with jade powder, the nightshade insect bit Liszt's finger in one bite, and the contract was successful.

His ninth elven worm finally settled into the castle.

However, the good news was not only that, but when he returned to the castle, the knights who had arrived from Coral City brought him important news - the Coral Island caravan had returned, and Levi's tutor, Frank, had asked him to go to Coral City to receive five hundred serfs.
