The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 45: The Friendship of Tobacco and Cattle Harvest

Views:

Fortunately, after recalling more than 500 words, Griff finally returned to the main line of dragon slaying.

"I have to promise, I really vowed to quit smoking, but then I forgot, because I was shocked by the action of the invisible dragon. God, it snatched the tobacco grass from my hand, it ate it, I think It must have not been bathed in years and had delusions about the smell."

"Sorry, I said bad things about the invisible dragon. In fact, we became friends later. Because it ate my smoked grass and didn't kill me, and I managed to exchange a bundle of smoked grass and two cows for the invisible dragon. The friendship of dragons. Frankly speaking, the invisible dragon is not big, only slightly bigger than a house."

"I've seen Duke Maple Leaf's bronze dragon. It's a beautiful metal dragon nearly thirty meters long. The invisible dragon looks like its child. Oh, dragons don't have children."

"We spent an afternoon happily together. In the evening, it came up to me, shook its body, and then a gem fell into my hand. It flew away, but it stayed behind It was a gem the size of a fingernail, and it was on my finger all the time.”

"Haha, now you know where my interspatial ring came from. Countless noble knights were willing to pay a price to get this ring, but I won't change it, because it is the spiritual connection between me and the invisible dragon." Witness of friendship!"

So far, the invisible dragon chapter is over.

Griff quickly moved on to the next story - Outwit the Headless Horseman.

After Liszt quickly finished flipping through the novel, which was only about 50,000 words long, there was no information about the invisible dragon, and even the space ring only appeared once.

It's as if Griff wrote the Invisible Dragon only when he remembered it, and then forgot all about it.

"It seems that the reward this time is the knowledge of invisible dragons recorded in "The Travels of Griff the Land Ranger"... Can only brave and upright people see invisible dragons? Then, I guess there is no possibility at all. Not brave or upright." He was very self-aware.

However, he seriously doubted the authenticity of this information. How could he rely on such intangible and inexplicable characters as courage and integrity to decide whether to see the invisible dragon

"The story always felt like a rip-off of 'only the pure maiden meets the unicorn.'"

The heroines of many knight novels are the daughters of nobles who ride unicorns. Liszt has read a few of them, and they all swear that only pure, beautiful, innocent, and kind virgins can be accepted by unicorns. . As for the existence of legendary creatures like unicorns, Liszt expressed doubts.

He is suspicious of unicorns as much as he is suspicious of invisible dragons.

Especially the knight with courage and integrity can see the invisible dragon, this kind of wonderful setting.

He still quickly captured useful information: "Griff used smoked grass to resist the slaughter of the invisible dragon, and later said that he exchanged a bundle of grass and two cows for the gem of the invisible dragon... My current smoke The task, the reward is smoked grass, it seems that this is still a part of the chain of tasks."

The first is the information about rewarding the invisible dragon.

Then there is new information about rewarding the invisible dragon.

Now it's time to reward the smoked grass that invisible dragons love to eat.

All related reward content, like unlocking a large-scale chain mission, then the goal of the mission is easy to deduce—maybe there really is an invisible dragon that is coming to invade Flower Town.

"Cow?" Liszt thought of another link, "The dairy farm seems to have two old cows that can't produce milk, but the castle has enough food, so they haven't been used to entertain guests. Perhaps, these two old cows are the ones I need to provide for the invisible. Dinner prepared by the dragon?"

The information is still not clear enough, and the preparation is still not enough.

Liszt feels that the most urgent task is to continue to complete the mission and get more details about the invisible dragon's serial mission so that he can formulate a coping strategy.

Dangdang.

knocking.

"Please come in."

The butler, Old Carter, came in with an oil lamp: "Master, it's late at night, you should go to bed early."

"I'm about to go to bed." Liszt closed the book and put it back on the shelf, frowning slightly, because the smell on his hand was not good, "Mr. Carter, by the way, light another box of freshener in the study. I can't bear the strange smell of these thick papers."

This time, the carriage of books presented by the earl brought a lot of fishy smell, even though Liszt had ordered the deodorant, it still couldn't cover it up.

There is no such white and clean white paper.

Here there is only yellow, hard, thick leather paper with a lingering smell.

This kind of paper is made of the inner layer of animal leather, which is specially tanned after peeling off the whole. The production cost is high, but it is not easy to preserve, and it is not convenient for writing. Liszt really wanted to quickly produce white paper to replace this kind of thick leather paper, but he also understood that now is not the right time.

First, blank paper is not an urgent need.

Secondly, there is no copyright law, and the big aristocrats will snatch papermaking technology at any time.

Just as he did not set out to study horseshoes, saddles, or cement, similarly, he still had the general structure of a schooner in his mind. Once invented, it would definitely promote the development of the age of great navigation.

In fact, the most important thing is - no one.

The entire town has a total of 1990 people, no, 1991 people. Recently, two old people died in the town, and four newborns were born, one of whom died young.

Of the 1991 people, excluding the elderly and young children who have no labor force, there are 1,500 people left to work, which is very rare. They want to farm, build roads, and now they need to build oyster villages, and soon they have to send a group of people to sew gloves, forge hammers and shovels, and produce fishing equipment for fishermen.

As for Liszt himself, he is also very busy, and he has to keep practicing.

"Fire Dragon Diamond" and "Raging Flame Wave" have been mastered, but it takes time to master them. After possessing the Red Blood Sword, he practiced harder and harder, hoping that he could also break through the shackles of the earth and leap into the sky.

Carter put the deodorant on.

He blew out a candle and said, "My lord, should the castle hire some more servants?"

"Is there not enough manpower?" Liszt was a little surprised. Ten servants should be enough to serve him alone.

But Carter said solemnly: "Wheat worms, peanut worms, tulip worms, and alfalfa worms are all good babies, but their caterpillar fungus needs to be patrolled and cared for by the servant every day. These jobs are arranged for Jesse. Now the corn is also Start planting, and then the thorns will also be planted, Jesse is too busy."

After a pause, he continued: "Doussen, Lilong horse, Fire Dragon horse and several other horses all need manual care. The seafood in the castle has to be collected by servants before the oyster village is built. And In the kitchen, Mrs. Abbey has complained of her lack of resources, as the dishes have multiplied."

Castles, cities and towns overlap in many functions.

However, the castle is more inclined to self-cultivation, and the town governs the entire territory and collects taxes. Liszt is dissatisfied with this system and feels that it hinders the development of productivity. The biggest obstacle is the castle, which is a twisted monster that controls all the elves and firmly binds the greatest productivity.

After all, the biggest role of the castle is to provide the nobles with a luxurious life, not to liberate productivity.

Knowing this, but not thinking much about changing—he is a nobleman himself!

"Since there is not enough manpower, Mr. Carter, you are responsible for recruiting new servants."

"Yes, sir."
