The Defeated Dragon

Pokémon had not yet grown up, and Lester could not have waited here foolishly and arranged for the guard to return to the castle. Flower town is in contact with the outside world, there is only one road across Thorn Ridge and few people come and go.

Only when the Count comes to collect taxes will the merchants come with the Knights.

Now that Flower Town is Lester's territory, no one will collect taxes, and I'm afraid the merchants won't come either. So no one would have thought of a Pokémon at all.

As for the inhabitants of Flower Town, no one dares speak of elf worms.

Pokémon are nature's favorites, and they only make covenants of God to magical humans - maybe the beast can, but the beast doesn't have that idea.

Magic power, which refers to fighting qi and magic, behaves differently in essence is the same.

Flowertown, magical people, Lister, Marcus, Gaultai, just the three of them. Marcus and Gorte have names on Coral Island, and even if they steal Pokémon, they can't escape. On Coral Island, no one dares touch the Tulip family stuff, and Lester is part of the Tulip family.

So peanut elf insect safety, don't worry.

He came to his study, closed the door, gazed for a moment, waiting for the smoke to appear. After repeated exploration, the smoke appearance pattern had been fully mastered, all he needed to do was calm down and see.

Not really.

One minute later.

A distorted serpent appeared in front of him.

“Complete the task to reward a Peanut Elf. ”

“As I thought, the Peanut Pokémon is the reward for previous tasks... This does not know how to emerge from the smoke task, it does not seem that the reward can be turned into empty space. The reward exists in real life, or what is about to happen... The exuberance of the fighting is probably my thick and thin hair, the peanut worm should have appeared. ”

However, without a smoke mission, these rewards would probably be wasted.

He must also be an apprentice knight, and the peanut worm will die quietly.

At this point, the distorted smoky serpent, the new content has appeared.

“Task: How can a territorial lord not even know the number of inhabitants, please complete a census of the territory to understand the basic situation of the inhabitants. Reward: New Tulip. ”

“Census? Isn't that what I'm going to do, it looks like the smoke task is to update the content based on my actual situation... What does the new variety Tulip mean, to give me a magic potion?” Lester guessed.

The Tulip family grew because of the tulip.

Tulip is more than just a flower, it's a magic potion - magical medicine. Magic is an important aid to cultivating magic and fighting qi. Magic in tulip fragrance. In Lester's memory, the highest stock sells ten gold coins.

New varieties of tulip, in case of magic, are absolutely a killer of economic revitalization.

Even if it is not a magic potion, contributing to Tulip Chambers and assimilating the Tulip Elves of the family will increase the evolutionary and development potential of the Elves.

“Then, the next step is to vigorously urge the census! What's so tricky about a small town with a population of up to 1,200 people? Gorte really disappoints me, I can't do it myself. ”

One or two thousand people, not many more than a school in Lister's hometown, have been presidents of college students, Lister, and trust their abilities.

……

But for Gaultai, it is a daunting task.

At the handover, he questioned the former Counsellor, a knight sent by the Count, who had done only one thing in Flower Town: collect taxes.

Anything else, the knight doesn't care, and even, the knight himself has hardly ever been to Flower Town, and he has made one of his knights run for him.

From the knight here, too, only one thing was done —— taxes, nothing else.

Flowertown taxes include peanuts, milk, wheat, barley, oats, tomatoes and tulips. The Earl of Coral Island collects taxes every three months, removing the vast majority of crops that flower towns have little output. After the knights levy their taxes, they leave Flower Town alone.

In the remote countryside, where is Coral City's bustling Coke?

So, Gorte sits in a broken administration room in a small town, looks at his only four clerks, and six patrol members, and finds the census impossible to accomplish.

“Have none of you ever read a book or read a word? There's no one in town who reads? ”

A clerk said embarrassingly: "My lord, there is no school in the town, and we have never left the town...”

The patrol with the red tongue nose said: “Perhaps the old leather man can read, he came from another island, I saw a book at his house, such a thick book, and I turned it over, and there was a painting by a little man inside. But the old tannery beat me up. He was blind, his shoes were particularly sturdy, and he beat a lot of people. ”

A blind man, Gaultai didn't even think about it, ignored the old tannery.

Since there are no literate people, he can only say: "Count it. Go to one tunnel and count the number of households and people in the tunnel." ”

This should be a simple task, but one day later, when the clerks and patrols came back to debrief, Gorte wanted to go crazy.

He shouted, “What, 18 households in Peanut Tun, 56 people? Mr. Teacup, are you kidding me? ”

Mr. Teacup, whose full name is David Teacup, is a clerical clerk, a facial twist: "My lord, I didn't. I counted it several times. I don't know if it's right, but it's different every time. ”

Twenty-three Peanut Tun households, 92 people, were personally counted by Gorte when Liszt rescued the peanut fields.

He couldn't figure it out. Why would David Teacup count 18 households and 56 people?

Don't think about it.

The number of households in several other tunnels is certainly a nonsense.

Thinking about it, Gaultai waved powerlessly: "Well, don't report it, you keep the numbers to yourself. To move my horse, I'm going to meet Baron Lester at the castle. ”

Horseback riding to the castle, Gaultai complained exaggerated to Lester: “You have no idea. Those clerks and patrol men, they don't even count from one to ten! There's no way to rely on them to complete the census, Lester, and I've written a letter just waiting to be sent, and maybe we can wait for them to come back. ”

“When does that have to wait? ”

“Don't worry, Lester, we've got plenty of time, haven't we? ”

“I can't wait.” Lister's fingers knocked on the table, "Mr. Carter, who can read in the castle? ”

Carter bowed slightly, "Sir, I can write and read, and Thomas can, well, Mrs. Morson can, too. ”

“Well, please ask Mrs Morson and Thomas to come over, and also help me call Teacher Marcus and my four cavaliers from the knights, all of whom I remember writing. ”

When everyone is here, Lester announces publicly: "Now let's put aside what we have on hand to help me complete the census of Flower Town. Town, shiitake tunnel, peanut tunnel, tomato tunnel, barley tunnel, wheat tunnel, flower farm, dairy cow farm, each responsible for one tunnel. ”
