The Defeated Dragon

Hand over the production of the Fire Dragon Horse to One-Eyed Barton and Lester return to the castle.

Before eating, he was free to play the piano again, and the King's urge to play the piano had probably subsided, but he still loved to play the piano.

Listen to the music, purify your mind.

At the dinner, followers were drunk to celebrate his success as Lord Black Horse Island.

“I wish I could be so carefree...” Lister envied these people, eating and drinking openly without thinking about the future.

He was still a little depressed because, before the meeting, CFO Blair reported to him: "My lord, the 4,260 gold coins you asked for, with the finances of Flower Town and Black Horse Island, all the merchandise and taxes are currently moving over, and only 1,350 gold coins have been collected. ”

“How long will it take for the remaining gold coins to be secured from Tulip Chamberlain if they are secured by future earnings from flower brewing? ”

“I have calculated that the current scale of production and market sales of flowers is only partially spread on Coral Island and Red Crab Island, and Gold Island is still under negotiation with a monthly share of about 600 gold coins… it will take about six months to collateralise enough gold coins. ”

“Mortgage then. ”

“But, my lord, if the future proceeds of flower brewing are pledged, the construction of the territory will be in immediate difficulty for the past six months… We do not have sufficient financial resources to support the construction of Black Horse Island, which cannot be sustained solely by the proceeds of flower soap, woodworks and black tulips. ”

Blair helplessly said.

Flower Town is still too thin, and Lester wants to grow rapidly, causing the chain of funds to collapse all the time.

“Don't worry, first collateralize the proceeds of flower brewing, I'll figure it out with the missing gold coins.” Lester was so comforted, but he was dripping blood in his heart, and he knew he was selling his property again.

So...

Followers drink freely, but he can't invest - he doesn't want to, he doesn't like to drink.

With iced juice, he sighed and thought about how to make money: "Bright flower town is rich in products, a large number of elves are promoting production, but... still can't keep up with my consumption. The most profitable magic potion, how can I only take drugs myself... it's hard to have an elite earth knight with a stream of drugs. ”

The world, as long as it's full and not too poorly qualified, can practise becoming Earth Knight.

But not everyone can afford an elite earth knight who insists on drugs every day.

Black Horse Island has not yet been developed, and Lester's current earnings are all from Flowertown. In other words, with the help of the Smoke Mission and the development of products such as flower brewing, flower soap, etc., it was only with the strength of a small town that he was supplied with continuous drug cultivation.

Gold coins are the biggest obstacle to the Knight's progress.

“Otherwise, the island of Hema will not have much development and will not use much rubber. Such a good product, Tulip Chamberlain should be needed and can be sold for a good price.” Beyond magic and iron wood, the most important agricultural output in the Territory is all-powerful rubber.

Milk from dragon cows is of course also an important output, but it is not suitable for public announcement and is suitable for internal supply.

In fact, he can also sell his inventory of covert silver, jade and crystals, but these are resource consuming, easy to sell and have to sell again.

“So it was decided to sell the rubber. ”

……

After dinner.

He went to a sea view villa, and for two days Archer hardly went swimming. He was reading his notes, studying magic, and was almost drunk.

Leaves Lester feeling a little chilled.

“Brother, Archer feels fast, soon will understand the key information, breaking through to become a great magician! Help my brother sail!” Good thing she's just too involved in magic research, not really cold Lister.

“Efforts should be made, but don't stay up too late. Relaxing more can make your brain clearer and more efficient than burying magic books all day long. ”

“Mm-hmm. Archer understands. ”

Nevertheless, her eyes were inseparable from magic books.

Lester stopped bothering her and started teasing Nami. The Mangrove Pokémon did not feed ducks on Mangrove Island today, but stayed with Archer at Sea View Villa.

“Mumble. ”

Nami sat at the table with a bite of apple in her hand. The apple was given to her by Lester, who loved to eat apples.

“Nami, do you like mangroves? ”

“Mumble, mumble.” Nami took another bite of the apple and then blinked her big eyes against Lester, not knowing if there was any Lester.

“In accordance with the habits of mangrove survival, I intend to plant mangroves on the shores of Flower Town and Black Horse Island to create habitats for green caterpillars and green-headed ducks.” He spoke clearly to Nami, actually thinking to himself, "Green caterpillars cannot be raised in ordinary woods. ”

Green ducks may be kept in cages, but they cannot be separated from green caterpillars if they want to raise them properly.

Blue caterpillars on Mangrove Island alone will certainly not support large-scale farming of green-headed ducks.

“Mumble. ”

Nami glanced at Lister and looked down at the big apple she was holding. Then, some reluctantly handed the big apple to Lister: “Knock. ”

“Ha ha, I'm not eating, you eat.” Lister pushes the apple back and touches the little green leaves and safflower on Nami's head.

emerald green Nami, very pleasant looking.

Originally her biggest role aside from the good looks, is that mangroves can form a kind of fruit that tastes light and sweet. It's not very tasty, and I don't know what the use is. However, as the food chain relationship between green caterpillars and green-headed ducks is determined, the usefulness of mangroves begins to emerge.

Mangroves are inseparable from Nami's mangrove grass, not to mention the fact that Nami keeps ducks.

Have fun for a while.

Lister leaves Sea View Villa.

……

Early the next morning, take the Flowers to Black Horse Island, and now the Flowers come and go between Black Horse Island and Flowertown basically every day.

Captain Costó trains the crew both by cargo and by navigation.

When Black Horse enters a rapid development phase, Lester must form a fleet to serve his territory.

“Teacher Marcus, Isaiah, what do you think of this land for the castle, and I want to build a waterfront castle, half immersed in water, half shrugged to the shore.” Standing on the east side of the port town on a rocky shore, Lester asks his followers for their opinion.

“The castle is closely connected to the city, my lord. Have you decided to build the port town into a port city? ”

“Black Horse Island is too small for a port city to build, and there is only one seaport in the northwest besides what is now Black Horse Harbor.” Port towns are the most appropriate routes and distances to build a city, "Lester said. ”

“Then I have no objection to the castle being built in its present location… just an adult, perhaps we can build it entirely ashore to avoid being invaded by sea creatures. ”

“No!” Lester couldn't resist, “I love Beachfront Castle! ”
