The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 40: Why does wild corn grow like this?

Views:

Just when Liszt had placed the caterpillar fungus for the wheat worms, suddenly Gejir, the steward of the wheat village, told him something: "My lord, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Please tell me anything." Liszt's eyes lit up, and he felt that the other party might want to reveal information about the invisible dragon to him.

Gejir said, "My lord, I found three strange grasses in the wasteland of Maimaitun. They are very tall, two or three meters high, and they are very green. Our chickens like to eat their leaves very much. .”

"It's corn!"

Liszt immediately realized that the clue provided by the steward was not the invisible dragon, but three wild corn plants. Immediately he ordered the steward to take him there—the corn, the expected corn.

But in front of the wild corn, Liszt fell into doubt.

"Gejir, how long has it been since you discovered these three plants?"

"It's been three months."

"Is it always like this?"

"Yes, my lord."

Liszt habitually touched the red blood sword hanging from his waist.

He has kept this sword close to his body, and the magic power of the ruby always stimulates his fire-attribute grudge, nourishing and growing it. It is equivalent to saying that with the sword, he is practicing all the time. If he takes more potions in the future, he might not be able to become a sky knight.

Can't stop looking at the three wild corn plants.

The corn in front of me is not a straight stalk, but has a few leaves, a cluster of flowers on the top of the head, and one or two corn cobs in the middle. Instead, they divided several poles in a mess, each with a bunch of flowers on the top of the pole. As for the place where corn sticks should have grown in the middle, there were a few tiny toothpicks growing.

Toothpicks are section by section, and each section is a grass seed.

"Don't tell me that wild corn looks like this. It's not corn, it's wheat!" Liszt was deeply hurt. He knew very well that the three wild corn plants were the three plants in front of him.

But can not accept.

The promised big and plump corn on the cob!

"This is simply grass for livestock... Well, I remembered, these three wild corn plants seem to be called Mexican corn grass?"

Liszt, who has grown crops in his hometown, remembers that someone in the village planted a certain kind of pig grass, which is a grass for pigs to eat. It is called Mexican corn grass. It is said that it is a very high-yield pasture grass, and pigs, cattle and sheep especially like it.

"It should be. If it's real corn, there's no need to put the word 'wild' in front of it. There doesn't seem to be any wild varieties of corn. It's been cultivated artificially for millions of years." After he understood this, he could only sigh in his heart. Sighing, he comforted himself, "At least I got a high-yield pasture variety, it's not a loss."

Pack your frustrations.

Liszt put on the reserved and reserved smile of the nobleman again: "Gejir, according to my judgment, this grass is called corn grass. It is a very high-yielding pasture grass that is liked by livestock. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep like to eat it. , from now on, you must take good care of it, I need its seeds."

"Yes, my lord! Gejir must take good care of the corngrass, and don't let any serfs or livestock get close to it!"

"That's very good. I will inform Mr. Gao Ertai. At that time, he will make further arrangements. Just wait and cooperate."

"Yes, my lord."

Looking at the Mexican corngrass again, Liszt took a deep breath and raised his whip: "Go back!"

The placement of the caterpillar fungus for the wheat worms went very smoothly. So far, the peanut worms, alfalfa worms, tulip worms, and wheat worms have all been properly placed.

The rest of the thorn worms don't know where to go, and the corn field of the corn worms is still under planning.

No matter what, the elves will get the best care.

On the way back, Liszt ran into Marcus who was about to come to the castle to meet him.

"Mr. Marcus, what's the matter?"

"My lord, I heard from Sir Galtai that you asked him about the invisible dragon?"

"Oh, you know invisible dragons?"

"I've heard of it." Marcus said seriously, "I read it from a half-torn knight novel. I don't know the name of the novel. I read it when I was very young."

"Really, how does it describe the invisible dragon?" Liszt knew that the wheat bug mission was completed and the reward came.

Marcus said: "It is said in the novel that besides gem dragons, metal dragons and elemental dragons, there is another kind of dragon called the sacred dragon. The invisible dragon is a kind of sacred dragon. It is transparent and no one can see it." Whatever it looks like, wherever it goes, it will bring endless disasters."

"Disaster? Then why is it called the sacred dragon?"

"Because it can produce a very special kind of gemstone."

"A special gemstone, then it should be classified as a gemstone dragon. By the way, what is a special gemstone? Are there any different powers?"

"This gemstone is related to a legendary piece of equipment. My lord, have you heard of a space ring? It's a small ring that can hold a lot of things."

This world also has space rings

Liszt searched for the memory of his predecessor, but he hadn't heard of it, so he said, "No, then, is the space ring real? Or can the gem produced by the invisible dragon be used to create a space ring?"

"I don't know if the space ring exists or not. Even if there is, it is a priceless treasure that only real nobles can have." Marcus said, "In the knight novel I read, it is indeed said that the place where the invisible dragon goes In addition to endless disasters, it will also leave the gems it produces, whoever picks it up will have the space ring."

"Then what."

"And then there was none."

"Isn't there more information about the invisible dragon in the book?"

"No, and I think this is just a fabricated story. You know, many of the novels that enlighten us about the glory of knights are written by novelists with their eyes open." Marcus made a special trip to tell Liszt this information , but apparently, he himself does not believe in the existence of invisible dragons.

Liszt couldn't deny this, and continued to ask: "So, are there other sacred dragons?"

"I don't know, half of that book is missing. I only read a small half of the content. It only introduces the invisible dragon, a kind of sacred dragon."

Wait for Marcus to leave.

Liszt still didn't understand.

What does the task reward, the message of the invisible dragon mean

Simply tell him the knowledge of invisible dragons through missions? Or does it mean that there is an invisible dragon nearby, which can be captured? Or, it means that the invisible dragon is coming to attack Huahua Town, so be prepared? Of course, it is also possible that the invisible dragon will come to send equipment, a space ring

While thinking about it, the smoke in front of him reappeared.

"Complete the task and reward the information of the invisible dragon."

After a twist, a new mission was released: "Mission: Wild corns that suddenly appeared in Maimaitun, did they attract your attention? The lord needs to think about why wild corns grow in Maimaitun. Maybe there are more wild corns nearby. Please find out Origin of wild corn. Reward: New information on the invisible dragon."

Immediately, Liszt's attention was focused on the new task reward.

"It's the information of the invisible dragon again. What the hell is this? How much information about the invisible dragon do you want to tell me?"
