The Defeated Dragon

    The banquet is over.

    Liszt talked about the business: "I am going to build a new donkey on the east coast to house some serfs as fishermen who catch the sea."

    The growers are very busy during the planting season, but after planting the crops, they will become very leisurely.

    Liszt thinks that this is an unreasonable allocation of human resources. It is better to vacate some of the growers and develop full-time offshore fisheries, no, seaside fishing.

    There is no boat now, and I don’t want to go fishing in the offshore.

    “It’s so delicious, it’s really more fishing, but Liszt, the town’s population is too small, we don’t even have two thousand people. The agricultural production of each country cannot be separated from the labor of the serfs. ”

    "I will find a way to population."Liszt didn't say much.

    In fact, he has already negotiated with Levis, paying for the split of the black tulip, buying the serf from Levis, the fleet of the Earl, and loading a lot of serfs when he returns. These serfs may come from war-torn islands, perhaps from the mainland.

    Gort seems to understand: "Since you say this, I will start planning immediately with the new scorpion."

    "Baron lord, what is the name of the new ??"Isaiah asked.

    "Just called…Let's eat it. ”

    Liszt has placed great expectations on oysters. He hopes that after the completion of this project, a group of serfs will be transformed into fishermen, which will continue to salvage seafood and provide food for Flower Town, providing a material basis for future construction – every winter. Flower Town, the people will hide at home and sleep, reducing food consumption.

    With food, the cold in winter is nothing.

    A lot of construction can start in the winter.

    In the evening, Gort came to the castle again: "Liszt, corn grass is looking for! The patrols finally did something, and they found a batch of pastures like corn grass on the edge of the Horns Ridge in the southwest corner of the town. ”

    "Take me to see."

    Before the dark, Liszt saw a large piece of corn grass mixed with other wild grasses. Compared to the three wild corns of wheat, these corn grasses are much shorter, probably malnourished.

    Liszt turned around and was a little disappointed.

    This is probably the origin of the corngrass, but there are no signs of sprite worms – no sprite worms, the development of corn grass, it is difficult to grow.

    And you can't use the sprite worm to gradually improve the variety and move closer to the glutinous rice stick.

    “When you look after it, the seeds must be collected, go back to the fields in the town, choose the right place, plant a batch, and provide new varieties of pasture for the racecourse and dairy farms.”

……

    At night, Liszt was bathed and read a book in the study.

    The front of the smoke serpentine condenses: "Complete the mission, reward the invisible dragon for new information."

    Stubble, smoke distortion, new mission released: "mission: the fishery has been put on the agenda of the lord, a group of serf is about to be driven off the sea by you. Driving the people is the necessary skill of the lord, but sustainable development is more important, please update the equipment for the fishermen. Reward: A large piece of smoked grass. ”

    "A large piece of smoked grass, what is it, tobacco?"

    To update the equipment for the fishermen, the mission is very simple. Even if the smokemission is not released, he will do the same. If there is no tool in the sea, the fishermen should not be allowed to use their hands.

    The rock after the ebb tide is very sharp, and it will scratch your fingers if you accidentally.

    The reward is no longer the information of the invisible dragon, which makes Liszt somewhat reassuring and starts to look forward to what the smoked grass is.

    Between the nobles is popular smoking, the tulip family has planted a lot of tobacco, and there is a small sprite of tobacco.

    "So, the smoked grass should not be tobacco. There are tobacco seeds in the seeds traded from the Tulip Fort. I want to plant them at any time."

    Liszt is no longer tangled, and sooner or later he will know what the grass is.

    He waved the smoke serpentine and continued reading. The count earned his own words and sent him a carriage book when Liszt returned.

    Now he is watching an autobiographical novel called "The Earth Ranger Griff's Travels".

    In the first person, the book introduces an Earth Knight named Griff, who traveled in the Grand Duke country of Maple Leaf. The story is very interesting, although a lot of content, in Liszt's view, is simply obscenity – such as stealing love with the countess, elope with Miss Marquis, and talking to the Maple Leaf Grand Duke.

    This is not a treatment that can be enjoyed by a descendant of a nobleman who is not even Lord Knight.

    However, the author of the book must be a very experienced person, introducing a lot of local customs that are different from the coral island, as well as the gorgeous life of some nobles, and many stories of hearsay.

    Really interesting.

    Liszt likes this novel that can read stories and have long knowledge.

    "Yeah?"

    As he watched, the story suddenly jumped away to the battle of the Dragon Slayer, saying that Greif traveled to a small town that was invaded by invisible creatures. The lords of the town have fled, and the people are unable to resist. At this time, Griff decided to save the suffering people.

    After observation, he came to the conclusion that this is an invisible dragon—there is no written explanation in the book and conclusions.

    "The invisible dragon is a magical dragon hidden in another world. Only the most courageous and honest knight can see him. I am not brave enough. If I want to see it, I must cheer up my courage! I have to find it, then face it and find out its weaknesses! ”

    Grief succeeded in dying, came to the invisible dragon, and was vomited by the invisible dragon, but it was because of this that it saw the invisible dragon.

    "Ah, that's a beautiful dragon. It's like a flowing crystal, no color, it's all transparent. I spit a blood, the blood actually passed through its body, yes, I can't touch it. I am very depressed because I may never be able to ride it. ”

    Liszt admired Griff's nerves and was killed by the invisible dragon. He still regrets not riding the dragon.

    Fortunately, Griff still has self-knowledge.

    "I know it is going to kill me. I can't see its eyes. I can only see the fuzzy water mass, but I know it will kill me. I feel its mood." I have forgotten life and death. I just want to take two more cigarettes at the last moment. Oh, sorry, I don’t have any tobacco. I have to grab a piece of grass around me and chew it to resist my addiction. ”

    Seeing this, Liszt's brow jumped.

    Continue to look down.

    "I later learned that the grass I caught was smoked grass. It is a kind of grass similar to tobacco, but it tastes unique. It is like my pair of socks that have not been washed for 16 days or 26 days. . I vomited quickly, yes, at that moment, I successfully quit smoking, I swear I will stop smoking in the future! ”

    "I have seventeen years of cigarette addiction. When I was a child, my father liked to smoke his own cigarettes. He would ask me, hey, Greif, you can't smoke…"

    The latter part of the story is a story of memories of his father teaching him to smoke.

    Liszt saw the scalp bursting: "The nonsense, I want to see how you kill the dragon!"
