The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 45: Friendship between Smoked Herbs and Cattle Harvest
Fortunately, after more than 500 words of memories, Griff finally returned to the Dragon Slaughter Main Line.
“I must assure you that I made a sincere vow to quit smoking, but then I forgot, because I was shocked by the intangible dragon's actions. Oh, my God, it actually took the smoke from my hand, and it ate it, and I think it must have been years without a bath and delusions about the taste. ”
“I'm sorry I said bad things about the Invisible Dragon, but we became friends. Because it ate my smoke herb, didn't kill me, and I, with a bunch of smoke herbs and two cows, managed to trade the friendship of the Invisible Dragon. Frankly, the invisible dragon is not big, it's just a little bigger than a house. ”
“I've seen the Bronze Dragon of the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf, which is a beautiful metal dragon almost thirty meters long, and the Invisible Dragon is like its child, oh, the dragon has no child. ”
“We had a great afternoon, and in the evening it came to me, shaking its body, and then a gem fell into my hand. It flew away, but it left its precious stone, a large nail cover that was worn on my finger all the time. ”
“Ha ha, now you know where my space ring came from. There used to be countless noble jazz willing to give everything in exchange for this ring, but I wouldn't, because it was a testament to the spirit of friendship between me and the Invisible Dragon! ”
That concludes the Invisible Dragon Chapter.
Griff quickly moved on to the next story - The Dullahan.
When Lester quickly flipped through the novel, which was about 50,000 words long, there was no more information about the intangible dragon, even the space ring, just once.
It's like Griff just remembered to write the Invisible Dragon and forgot all about it.
“Looks like the reward for this is the intangible dragon knowledge recorded in The Land Ranger Griff… Can a brave and honest man see an intangible dragon? Well, I guess there's no chance, neither brave nor honest.” He was very self-aware.
However, he seriously doubts the truth and falsity of this information. How can he rely on courage, integrity, who can't see or understand, to decide whether or not to see the invisible dragon?
“The story always feels like a duplicate of 'Pure Girl Sees Unicorn’. ”
Many of the female protagonists of the Knight novel are noble daughters riding unicorns. Lester has read a few copies, all of which believe in Dandan's expression - only pure, beautiful, naive and kind women can be accepted by unicorns. As for the legendary creature Unicorn, Lester wondered if it existed.
He is as suspicious of unicorns as he is of intangible dragons.
Especially when it comes to courage and righteous knights to see invisible dragons, this strange setting.
He also quickly captured a user-friendly message: "Griff withstood the killing of the intangible dragon with smoked weed, and later said he traded a bunch of grass and two cows for the stones of the intangible dragon... My current smoke mission, rewarded with smoked weed, still seems to be part of the chain of tasks. ”
First, reward the information of the Invisible Dragon.
Reward the new message of the Invisible Dragon.
Now we reward the smoked weed that the Invisible Dragon loves.
It's all related reward content, like unlocking a large chain of tasks, so the goal of the mission is easy to deduce —— there could really be an intangible dragon coming into Flower Town.
“Cows?” Lester thought of another link, "It looks like there are two cows on the dairy farm who are too old to produce milk, but the castle has plenty of food to entertain guests. Perhaps these two old cows are the dinners I need for the Invisible Dragon? ”
The information remains unclear and insufficiently prepared.
Lester felt it was imperative to continue to complete the task and get more details about the intangible dragon chain task so he could develop his own coping strategy.
When.
Knock on the door.
“Come in. ”
The housekeeper, old Carter, walked in with an oil lamp: "Sir, it's late at night and you should rest early. ”
“I'm going to bed.” Lester closed the book, put it back on the shelf and frowned slightly because the smell on his hands didn't smell right, "Mr. Carter, while lighting another box of fragrance detergent in the study, I couldn't stand the strange smell of these thick leather papers. ”
This time the Count's gift of a carriage of books created a great deal of smell, and although Lester had ordered the freshener, it could not be concealed.
There's no such thing as snow-white, clean blank paper.
There is only thick leather paper with yellow hair and a long lasting odor.
This paper, made of animal leather interior material, is specially tanned after peeling and is expensive to make, yet not easy to preserve and write. Lester really wanted to make blank paper quickly to replace this thick paper, but he also understood that the time was not right.
Blank paper is not an urgent need.
Second, there is no copyright law, and the great nobility will seize the papermaking technology at any time.
Just as he didn't start studying horseshoes, saddles, or cement, he also had the general structure of a longline sailing boat in his head that, once invented, would definitely facilitate the development of the Great Navigation Era.
Actually, most importantly -- nobody.
The whole town, a total of 1990 people, no, 1991 people, recently lost two elderly people in town and had four newborns, one of whom died.
These 1991 people, with the exception of the elderly and young children, who have no labour force, have 1,500 people left to work, which is very difficult to obtain. They want to grow fields, build roads, and now they want to build oyster tunnels. They have to split up a group of people to sew gloves, cast hammers, shovels, and produce fishing gear for fishermen.
As for Lester himself, he was also busy and had to cultivate constantly.
"Fire Dragon Diamond" and "Flame Wave" are all mastered, but it takes time to mastery. After possessing the red blood sword, he practiced harder and harder, hoping that he can also break the constraints of the earth and jump up into the air.
Carter ordered the freshener.
Blow out a candle and say, "Sir, shouldn't the castle recruit more servants? ”
“Not enough people?” Lester was a little surprised that ten servants, serving him alone, should be enough.
Carter solemnly said, "Wheat worms, peanut worms, tulip worms, alfalfa worms, are all good babies, but their wormgrass requires a butler to visit and look after them every day, and these jobs are arranged for Jesse. Now that the poppy is planted, and the thorns are planted, Jesse is too busy. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Shaking Sen, Dragon Horse, Fire Dragon Horse and several other horses need to be taken care of by hand. The seafood in the castle must also be collected by the servants before the oyster tunnels are built. And the kitchen, with more dishes, Mrs. Abby has complained about her lack of identity. ”
Castles overlap with cities, towns and cities in many functions.
Castles, however, tend to favour self-farming, while towns govern the entire territory and collect taxes. Lester was dissatisfied with the system and felt that it was hampering productivity, and the biggest obstacle was the castle, a distorted monster that held all the elves and tied the greatest productivity tight.
After all, the greatest role of the castle is to provide a luxurious life for the nobility, not to liberate productivity.
Understand this, but have not changed many thoughts - he is a nobleman himself!
“Since you are understaffed, Mr. Carter, you are responsible for recruiting new servants. ”
“Yes, sir. ”
