After the tulip worms are assimilated, they can be put back into the jade box and raised in the castle—and no need to feed jade powder, the caterpillar fungus can absorb nutrients by itself to support the elf worms.
This process takes about a day.
Go back to the castle.
Lister began to write letters.
Spread out the thick cardboard, use a quill pen dipped in ink, and begin to outline the serpentine inscriptions. No telephone, no fax, he can only communicate with the most primitive letters.
He intended to write to the Earl of Coral Island and the Lord of Falcontown, his father and sister.
The earl has a tulip elf and a tulip elf, and several tulip elves, and the baron has a tulip elf. This means that the black tulips in Liszt's territory are very important to the elves, and the earl and baron are definitely willing to pay a price to assimilate this new species.
Here, not to mention brothers and sisters, even father and son should settle accounts clearly.
"Using the opportunity of assimilation, maybe I can exchange for an elf worm from the earl, and a batch of living supplies from the baron." He has already thought about what he wants to exchange.
Elves are the first productive force, and the opportunity that can be exchanged must not be let go.
The second is the shortage of daily necessities—in fact, everything is lacking in the castle. Liszt is not a hard-working and simple person, he likes to enjoy himself.
"Secondly, I can talk to the earl about the cultivation and sales of black tulips. As a special commodity, black tulips can only be grown here. However, the right to sell can be handed over to the earl. Well, if it is a profit, I should take 20% of it. Problem... But black tulips are going to reproduce at full capacity, and it will take a year or two to grow in batches."
He stopped writing, thought for a moment, and continued writing.
"Perhaps I can pay in advance, no, it's a deposit from the earl's sales agent. I need to get more gold coins. The development of Huahua Town is very difficult without start-up funds. Especially the road on Thorn Ridge, a safe and wide road must be opened. If you want to get rich, build roads first.”
Basically, that's it for the content.
After the two letters were written, Marcus had already arrived. Only Marcus, who is an earth knight, could be the person to deliver the letter—Liszt hadn't practiced the middle-level battle qi cheats yet, and his combat power was very weak.
"Mr. Marcus, I have two letters here, and I need you to pass them on for me."
"Willing to help." Marcus replied, it seems that his tone has changed. When Liszt was not promoted to Earth Knight, he might only answer "yes", but now he is "willing to help".
Liszt noticed this change, but he didn't say anything: "Also, I need an intermediate battle qi cheat book. The "Thousand Layers of Waves" in Tulip Castle is not suitable for me. You can bring me the "Blazing Wave" from the Knight Academy. Well, help me ask Butler Louis, if there are any other fire-attribute grudge secrets in Tulip Castle."
"no problem."
"Have a good rest at night, and leave tomorrow, and pay attention to safety when crossing Thorn Ridge." Liszt thought for a while, "Your yellow-gray horse is not good enough, ride my fire dragon horse."
Marcus bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, but the yellow-gray horse has been on the battlefield with me. It is an old buddy with a similar heart, and it is more suitable to ride poorly."
"up to you."
"If Lord Baron has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
"Please."
…
"Mr. Marcus, good afternoon." Tom Pigsty, who was carrying a bucket, greeted Marcus respectfully when he met Marcus who left the castle.
Marcus nodded lightly: "You are also good."
Tom was immediately flattered. Normally, Marcus and Galtai would not say "yes" to him. He was just a manservant doing rough work in the castle, and his status was worse than Jesse Taomishui, the manservant assistant who was responsible for feeding horses, chopping wood, and sweeping manure, and Irene Four Fingers, the kitchen maid.
He wanted to bow to Marcus, but he forgot to carry the bucket on his shoulder. When he bent down, the pole slipped and the bucket was half full of water.
"Be careful."
"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Marcus."
When Marcus rode away, Thomas appeared out of nowhere: "You are really clumsy, you can spill half of the two buckets of water, Mr. Tom Pigsty, maybe the master should let you feed the pigs, that would be more suitable you."
Tom picked up the bucket without looking at Thomas: "I'll fetch two more buckets of water and come back."
He was a head taller than Thomas, but always kept his head down habitually.
Thomas sneered: "Aside from being able to fetch water, what else can you do? No, you can't even fetch water well. You have been a servant doing rough work all your life! I am the master's personal servant. Sooner or later, I will replace old Carter. Become the steward of the castle! When the time comes, I will drive you to feed the pigs first."
"You won't, Mr. Carter is the master's confidant." Tom whispered.
"Hmph, the master has let me go out with him, and he already trusts me. I am still young, and I will replace old Carter sooner or later!"
"You won't." Tom didn't want to say any more, turned and walked away.
Pour the water from the bucket into the large water tank, and the maid Debbie Window came to fetch water, and glanced at Thomas who was strolling outside the castle: "Tom, is Thomas bothering you again?"
"nothing."
"You shouldn't be afraid of him, he's nothing special, the master will see your efforts."
"I know, I'm not afraid of him, master is the best man, I work hard, master can see it, and Mr. Carter can see it." Tom wiped the sweat from his brow, "but thank you Debbie, Do you need me to help you carry water upstairs?"
"Will it bother you?"
"It doesn't matter, the job Mr. Carter arranged for me is very easy."
"Tom, you're such a nice guy."
…
Early in the morning, Marcus ate his breakfast and fed his yellow and gray horse with beans and hay.
He carefully checked the two letters from Liszt and the five letters from Galtai, and then looked at the few words he had written on the thick parchment.
These words are used to remind him of things not to forget—Liszt needs the fire attribute battle qi cheats, old Carter asked him to buy thick leather paper, Goltai wanted a box of cigars, and the squire Oden Insole asked him Buy scabies ointment, and bowstring for himself.
When his bow and arrow encountered the Wind Saber Wolf, it was pulled too hard, and the bowstring was broken, and a new bowstring was needed.
Then he cleaned his knight's gun and one-handed sword, counted the feather arrows in the quiver, everything was ready, got on his horse, left the town, and ran towards Thorn Ridge.
Thorn Ridge is a rolling hill.
In fact, it should be two mountains spliced together, one is a north-south hill, the other is an east-west hill, and a small road in the middle is the only way to enter and exit Huahua Town.
In the mountains and forests, there are monsters.
But not many, especially in this season, food is plentiful, and Warcraft seldom goes out. Therefore, the path between the hills is relatively safe. As an earth knight, he is not afraid of ordinary beasts.
Can't go more than a mile.
Suddenly, he sensed the breath of a monster.
"Why did I meet a monster again, and I was really unlucky when I met a windblade wolf the first time!" Marcus held the knight gun in his hand, and nervously watched the direction where the breath of the monster came from.
Wait a moment.
Warcraft did not show up.
Marcus squinted his eyes, and the hidden monster was more dangerous than the monster that opened and closed. He patted the yellow and gray horse under his seat, pretending to leave, trying to lure the monster to show up.
About another half mile.
The monster that was following him finally got impatient and took the initiative to attack him. A tall figure sprang out from the woods beside the path, and attacked ferociously.
Marcus was on guard all the way, and naturally he couldn't be attacked. Almost at the same time, he reined in the horse's head, and the knight stabbed out to meet him.
Then, he saw clearly the appearance of the monster—a huge wild dog.
