The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 559 Abandoned Wormgrass and Magic Net (second)
The so-called tour was more of a panoramic view of the territory, and it was not possible to examine in detail the situation of the territory's birth and population.
“Is that the Mage Tower?” Count Jonas pointed to the distance and stood like a cylindrical building, asking.
“Yes, it was built for the great magician of the Territory, His Excellency Chris Truth, who was not enthusiastic about the banquet among the nobles and was recently working on some kind of magic, so she did not attend the banquet last night.” Counsellor Gaultai is the guide to the inspection team.
Count Lee William and Count Lester, who obviously won't drop their shelves as explanators, Gaultai is the most suitable person.
The shape of the Mage Tower is a bit like the Pizza Slope Tower, five floors in total.
The highest floor, nine meters high, is the seat of the Magic Academy; the second to fourth floors are the standard height of five meters, and the second floor is the student and teacher room of the Magic Academy; the third floor is the Magic Pharmaceutical Research Workshop; the fourth floor is the Magic Equipment Research Workshop; and the fifth floor is six meters high, which is Chris Truth's private space, bedroom, study room, laboratory, etc.
So the total height of the Mage Tower is 30 meters.
Beyond the fifth floor, there is also a basement for warehousing.
Count Jonas was a little confused about this: "Lester, did you build the Magician's Tower without even building a castle? ”
This is inconsistent with the general aristocratic style, and sacrificing magicians is indeed important, but of limited importance compared to castles inhabited by aristocrats. In the social system, nobility is always the most noble group of people, and any enjoyment should come first from nobility and then from the rest of the class.
Lester could hardly say that he had accumulated experience for the architects, nor could he say that it was to cage magicians - because of the Bull Marquis dragon slaughter, the domestic aristocrats rated magicians poorly.
So he smiled: "My castle is structurally different from the standard castle, so I built the magician tower before I finished the design. In fact, I enjoyed my little castle in Flower Town and didn't rush into a big famous castle. ”
This reason is somewhat reluctant. Normal aristocrats definitely build castles first, and castles are the main money for the aristocrats to live.
Jonas, however, did not continue his struggle and quickly rushed to the next patrol site.
This tour site, the mushroom shack in the town of Mushrooms, has now been completed and is still expanding to basically 2,000 acres. With the cessation of production of ice and snow flame mushrooms, basically all the mushroom huts here are planted with flame mushrooms.
Liszt is also demanding that serfs continue to expand their cultivation.
Negotiations were also under way with the Reeves, who sent serfs to study flame mushroom cultivation techniques and to promote them on Coral Island in the future - the proceeds per acre of flame mushroom would be shared with Lester, with a specific share still under discussion.
“This is the Territory's specialty flaming mushroom, a magic mushroom bred by discarded grass, which belongs to the fire attribute magic, and we are working to expand the output.” Gaultai explains that the formula is kept strictly, so don't be afraid of people visiting it and steal the flaming mushrooms.
Count Jonas looked at the large and continuous shed and was surprised: "How many acres of flaming mushrooms have you planted? ”
“There are about 2,000 acres, which continue to expand. ”
“Two thousand acres? All flaming mushrooms? ”
I feel Jonas's tone doesn't seem right, and Lester next to him had to frown and ask, “What's wrong, Count Jonas? What's wrong? ”
“How is the flaming mushroom harvest in your territory and how does the magic potion refine work? ”
“Just scaled up, the first batch hasn't come down. ”
Jonas nodded and said to Lee William, "Count Lee William, didn't you warn Lester? ”
Li William was a fog: “Remind me of what? ”
So did Lester: "My flaming mushroom, is there a problem? ”
“If there were no accidents, the two thousand acres of flaming mushrooms would definitely be of poor quality and the potion refined would be significantly reduced. ”
“Why? ”
“It seems that you do not know enough about abandoned worms.” Jonas deplored, "Mushrooms, a discarded herb, are still limited in scale despite no elf restrictions. Within a million square kilometres, basically more than a thousand acres, it will degrade dramatically, and some varieties will degrade even more than 600 acres. ”
“Is that what you're saying?” Lister is confused. "Why is that? ”
“As far as I know, the source of the magic of the abandoned worm grass is related to the Magic Net. ”
“Magic net?” It wasn't Lester who was surprised, but Count Lee William, “Count Jonas, you said of the Magic Net, which the legendary Magic Wizard could touch? ”
“Yes, according to the magicians, the world is surrounded by magic nets, and whoever can touch them can advance to the ranks of magicians. ”
Jonas shook his head: "Too bad I can't tell you any more, because this magic net thing, even the Great Magician of the Court, can't figure it out. In short, it is likely that the discarded grass will be restricted by the magic net in order to grow within a million square kilometres and can only grow between 600 and 1,000 acres. ”
Restrictions on discarded grass.
The existence of Magic Net.
Lester's flaming mushroom ambition was undoubtedly a major blow, with the Grand Duchy of Sapphire adding up to about 2 million square kilometers, counting the maritime frontiers, and just 67 million square kilometers. With the entire island nation, it could grow more than 6,000 acres.
As for Black Horse and Coral Island, it is clear that less than 1 million square kilometres, that is, 1,000 acres of Black Horse Island are planted, leaving Coral Island unpopulated.
“There is such a limitation.” Lester is a little overwhelmed and intends to rely on the ever-expanding flame mushrooms to meet the growing demand for magic in the future.
Jonas went on to say, "It's a shame you need to wipe out the excess flame mushrooms and make sure there's only a thousand acres… but how much more, you need to find out, because the cultivation density and variety of different discarded grasses can lead to different magic net restrictions. ”
“Looks like that's all.” Lester does not doubt that the other person is lying to himself, and a new batch of flaming mushrooms will soon mature and he will know whether the quality has deteriorated or not.
William Lee suddenly asked, "Count Jonas, do you have wormwood in your industry? ”
“Of course, ‘blue pine mushrooms' are grown in my Moonlight City, a discarded grass with water properties. If Lester wants, I can exchange blue pine mushroom planting techniques for flame mushroom planting. Blue Dragon Island is a long way from Black Horse Island and there is no conflict between us. ”
Lester quickly condensed his mood.
“Blue pine mushrooms," he replied. "I think we can do this. ”
Jonas added: "The trade in discarded grass can be more beneficial, and I can help you reach out to aristocrats who are eligible for planting and who own discarded grass to participate in the multilateral trade in discarded grass. ”
Restrictions of Magic Net.
As a result, discarded grass can be grown with geographical limitations, each nobleman's discarded grass, if he wants to sell it, trades it to a nobleman far away from him, with some clauses attached - most importantly, limiting the spread of discarded grass, preventing it from eventually flowing back to his area and causing the variety to deteriorate.
However, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is so big that it is always possible to find potential customers for several flaming mushrooms.
With Jonas leading the way, flaming mushrooms are better able to trade weeds with other nobles in exchange for more varieties of discarded grass, which is sort of disguised to ease the limitations of the magic net.
