The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 25: What is the Quality of a Knight
In the middle of the flower farm, the Tulip Elf carries the Tulip Pokémon and six Tulip Pokémon bugs, surrounded by black tulips that absorb and assimilate the aroma of black tulips.
Lister stood aside and looked at the Tulip Elf.
In the memory of its predecessor, the Pokémon of Scent is estimated to be in its sixties, and more than two decades ago it was only a Pokémon, and in Lester's father's generation, it evolved successfully into a Pokémon. It is with the help of fragrance that the tulip family has grown rapidly, with a great deal of tulip in exchange for countless fortunes.
Build a Knight's Regiment with wealth that can recruit good fights. Less than a few years later, William Lee became Earl because of his kung fu.
Coral Island became a family territory.
“Pokémon… Although I have memories of my predecessors and have looked at incense since I was a child, I have not seen enough, no matter how many times. Pokémon definitely shouldn't exist in the world... unfortunately it's not mine, I only have five Pokémon bugs, no, there are about six. ”
He wrote to the Count, hoping for a Pokémon, and the Count apparently said yes, because Reeves had brought an extra Pokémon wheat with him.
“My dear brother, my father asked me to hand over your wheat worm as a reward for the discovery of tulip magic.” Livius took out the jade box and handed it to Lester.
“Is this an off-trade reward or an in-trade reward? ”
“Outside the deal, huh, Lester, don't imagine us as outsiders.” Levi Swing smiled and the nobility wasn't much worse than Lester, “In any case, we all had the tulip family's bloodline, a magic potion, or the importance of tulip, for the family, the benefits were huge, and the father was very happy to hear. ”
“Then I'll take it and thank Lord Father for me. ”
“Why don't you thank me personally? ”
“Hmm?”
Li Weila walked over: “Grandpa is ill and can't sleep anymore. Father is ready to send our three brothers and sisters to visit his elderly family together. So, here's the thing, tomorrow you need to come back to Coral City with us. ”
“Is that so?” Lister nodded, unreasonably refusing.
“So let's leave the old stories for lunch, let's talk formally first, Livera, you talk to Lester, I'll go see the view of Flower Town... I've never been to this town before.” Livius rides his horse, leaves with the Horseman, with Leyden, who guards him safe.
Take Livius away.
Levera suddenly said, "Are you sure you don't want to cut off this black horse? ”
“I'm sorry, sister. ”
“It's extraordinary, did you find it? ”
“Yes.”
“Absolutely not? ”
“Not for sale. ”
“Well, it looks like you're not just lucky, you're even tempered.” Livella shrugged her eyes and when she was a kid she beat Lester - her predecessor, Lister, was a loser, often beaten by her brother and sister to rob her of toys.
Lester didn't want to recall the past, it wasn't his experience: "What did my sister bring me? You can't fool me in negotiating. ”
“The sale of tulip potion left me out, just came to assimilate once, a Pokémon and two Pokémon worms. I pay 500 kilos of wheat, 800 kilos of poppy, 100 kilos of raw iron and 50 kilos of cooked iron, as well as Falcon's specialty, a packet of beet seeds... I don't care if you can grow a living without a sweet worm. ”
“Less than I thought, but okay. ”
“Don't be greedy, if it's Lipton, I'm only willing to pay half. ”
Lipton is the Earl's youngest son, his mother is the current Countess, a daughter from a small aristocratic family. The son is precious, the mother of the three Lester brothers and sisters, is the Marquis daughter, which is far from what Lipton can compare —— measuring nobility, paternal clan title and connections are key.
Seems dissatisfied with Lester's attitude today, after the deal was negotiated, Levera offered to give it a try.
“What are your fighting attributes? ”
“Fire.”
“What secrets have you cultivated? ”
“Fire Dragon Diamond. ”
“Play a game and let me see what you can do today.” Levera took a long gun from a knight, "I haven't talked to you for a long time after I was promoted to Earth Knight. ”
Collaboration is an excuse.
The purpose was nothing more than to teach Lester a lesson.
It's just that Lester today, not Vignono's Lester, just smiled a little: "Sorry, my secret book hasn't been practiced yet, let's try it some other time. ”
Li Weila glanced at him: “Are you running away? This is not what knights deserve. ”
“The knight's qualities include fairness. Why don't you wait till I finish practicing Dragon Diamond?" ”Lester lightly decompresses speech crowding.
eyebrows lightly, Li Vera dropped her long gun: "You are as weak as ever. ”
“It's called wisdom. ”
“Really put gold on my face. ”
Livella is 19 years old, she is not married, she is still a vibrant young man, Lister is well past the second level of psychological age and will not be angry over one or two sentences.
Bored to deal with a few sentences.
Reeves has snuck back in a circle.
“Dirty, messy, bad.” He shook his head, "Lester, I've understood your need for food, and Flower Town is far more strained than any town I've ever seen. ”
“That is true, but I will govern it with wealth. ”
“With the black tulip, let's talk about this… first of all assimilation, big elves, fairies, and six elves, Tulip Castle pays a total of 3,000 kilos of wheat, 2,000 kilos of barley, 500 kilos of wheat flour, a kilo of cooked iron, thirty barrels of beer, and seeds of all kinds of crops. ”
In a nutshell, Lester didn't bargain and approved the deal.
Cars and supplies were moved to the castle's warehouse, filling it with cold warehouses. Food alone is enough to feed the castle for the first half of the year. Raw iron and cooked iron can be used to build appliances, armor and seeds that he specializes in planting in Flower Town.
Without Pokémon, barren land can only be irrigated by farmers' fertilizer to see if it delivers results.
Speaking of small towns today, it's not very dirty anymore —— they pick up the shit every day and sell it to the castle, and Lester orders people to distribute the shit to the tunnels for fat fields. The time is short and small, and for the time being, with the exception of peanut gardens, no obvious effect has been achieved elsewhere.
……
Lunch atmosphere is nice, and Gaultai is a great banquet atmosphere for the toasters and the conversation is very funny.
After the meal, Livius and Lester negotiated the cultivation and sale of black tulips: “Father means to buy out the cultivation and sale of black tulips at once, in return for a thousand gold coins. Meanwhile, you can grow it in Flower Town and sell it to Tulip Castle. ”
“This is no good, Black Tulip is the cornerstone of the development of Flower Town, and I won't give up my constant earnings just because the district has 1,000 gold coins. ”
“It's a thousand gold coins, not a small number, 50 years of taxes in Flower Town, I don't know if there can be 1,000 gold coins. ”
“The potion was planted in large quantities, and maybe a few years later, with the black tulip alone, I could get into a thousand gold coins a year. Magic is a scarcity, and there is never a potion that can't be sold on the market. ”
“You know, without family channels, black tulips don't even get out of Thorn Ridge. ”
“That's why I'm going to talk to my father, or my brother, about planting and selling… I can provide seeds for Tulip Castle, but for all the black tulips planted, I have to charge a certain amount. ”
“You mean, we'll plant, you lie in a castle waiting for a few gold coins? ”
Lister picked up the milk tea cup and replied not too slowly: “Essentially, here's the thing. ”
