Chapter 166 – Blessedcurls' Misfortune

Elkson presided over the construction of the Flame Mushroom Workshop and the falcon training.

Glanny threw himself into the production of Calm Pearl.

Gort and other officials presided over the autumn harvest in Flower Town.

The town's civilians also joined the harvesting team that gathered wheat and barley, bared the seeds of wheat, leveled the wasteland, picked wild fruit and vegetables, and collected tulips. When autumn ends, there will be long snow and icy winter on the whole Flower Town, and by then, all crops will stop growing.

“Sir, this is the newly picked dragon sunflower today. “The butler Carter brought over a plate of small black fruit.

Thanks to the blessing of the dragon sunflower worm, the output of the sunflower field has soared, and a plate of the fruit can be harvested every day. The fruit tastes really good, but one must not eat too much. Liszt only tasted it occasionally, and the rest was given to his subordinates.

Ever since the breakthrough of the thorn worm,

the dragon sunflower sprite worm has become the most costly one.

It is because the output of the sunflower sprite worm is low and cannot be sold in batches. It can only be used as a flavor improving product.

However, Liszt does not resent the dragon sunflower sprite worm due to his experience of the thorn sprite worms in the past. Who knows maybe one day, the dragon sunflower sprite worm will not only breakthrough, but will also trigger a series of missions and evolve into a dragon sunflower sprite.

“Taste this with me.”

“Thank you.”

After eating a few dragon sunflower fruit, Liszt asked: “Now that October is almost over and we're two months away from winter, has the warehouse began h.o.a.rding food?” 

“I have entrusted Captain Harpagon and Captain Shylock to begin preparations on acquiring the newly harvested wheat.”

“It's not enough to rely on wheat alone. Corn, beans, salt, sugar, and others have to be acquired. Even in winter, I don't want the castle's food supply to run low.” I'll inform Adviser Gort that I will build a warehouse near the castle which will be used to store winter supplies.”

Something came up on Liszt's thoughts, “Yes, also,remind me to a.s.sign someone to build an ice cellar here in Flower Town.”

"Yes, Sir."

Making ice using saltpeter was very convenient. However, in anything, with regular use comes the wear and tear. Initially, they had 300 pounds of saltpeter powder, but now they were down to 260 pounds, a loss of 40 pounds. In a year and a half, they'll be no more saltpeter to use.

They haven't found a new saltpeter ore yet.

In the end, they would have to dig a big ice cellar and store ice there until winter next year.

Warehouses, ice cellars, barns, kennels, dog jails, apple tables, stables, clam sh.e.l.ls, Liszt found that castles, which were supposed to be up on the hillsides and surrounded by green gra.s.s, were almost surrounded by various buildings it wasn't supposed to.

“No, the warehouse and the ice cellar have to be built far away; the kennel will then be moved to the gate of the castle; and a platform can be moved to the top floor of the castle to build a third floor in the form of an attic. Apple tables, apple trees and clam sh.e.l.ls are considered  a scenery, while the stables have to be moved a little farther away. “

No s.p.a.ce is to be spared around the castle.

The buildings must form a circle of security areas to prevent a.s.sa.s.sins from entering.

“Not only will we have to remove the other buildings, but we will have to install fences and dig a moat. If financial and material resources permit, we will have to strengthen the castle walls as well, especially the gate. It is best for us to build a bridge-like gate. “

Depending on the terrain, a castle can build its gate in a very high position and then connect it to the outside through a bridge, which can only be  accessed by going under.

This makes it difficult for any attacker such as  large number of knights to storm the castle at the same time, thus ensuring that the castle will not fall immediately.

It was time to gain the support of some friends.

The town is unlikely to be attacked, after all, because Liszt is the son of the Count, the bloodline of the Tulips is on the flag on the island. But if pirates do attack, a fortified castle may just save lives.

“If I want to perfect the castle, I will need a lot of money. I do have a lot of money. I have a lot of fixed a.s.sets……But if I count it all down, even with the support of the seafood business, I still can't afford it, such a headache!”

A castle with its own name.

To have a self-sustaining castle, it must have an adequate supply of food, water and a st.u.r.dy wall.  The Tulip Castle was built on a cliff, and has a fountain that lasts for at least six months or even a year. Even if it was under siege, it will survive. Flower Town has a serious  lack of such castles.

There was no water, therefore one has to fetch water from a well in town.

“Did you find a chance to sell Mithril, Crystal, and Jade? Those are at least worth thousands of gold coins!”

The high-value items that he can sell to the outside world are a box of mithril, a box of dragon's mineral crystals, and a box of magical stones and jade.

They only had a dozen black pearls left.

Black pearls have an extremely high value, especially black pearls with large sh.e.l.ls, which are good for navigation. Smaller black pearls can also be made into a personal defense jewelry. Selling them now is very uneconomical, and is not often seen.

Especially that giant clam.

The remaining mithril, crystal and jade, all of which are priceless and are equally hard to sell.

“Forget it, I don't want to be stuck in the middle of all this.”

“I'll struggle with it later !”

He got himself boiled up just by thinking about it and decided he couldn't stay inside the castle.

He ordered a squire knight to take Tremblingwoods and he took the beast sight-seeing with him. He went to the dog stable and looked at the pregnant Stupidwoman and he let Tremblingwoods near her. He also went to the dairy farm and checked the three pregnant cows that were most likely bearing dragon-type calves.

He went ahead to the fruit-stealing monkey training site in Oyster Village. He saw the very obedient fruit-stealing monkey climbing trees to pick coconuts. There were also three female monkeys with bulging tummies.

He then went to Wheat Village to see the twelve big fat pigs in the pig farm . In the winter these big fat pigs will be slaughtered for their meat.

His final stop was to check the growth of each gra.s.s sprite worm.

After that, the day was over.

He turned around to head back to the castle.

—-

Three days went by like a trance.

There wasn't a word yet about the new breed of thorns Liszt had sent his knights for. Liszt has been working with Elkson on training Blessedcurls. After three days without eating or drinking, Blessedcurl's voice was already hoa.r.s.e, it was unable to sleep and her eyes were red. When it saw Liszt, its cry was a tragic to hear.

"WAAAAH!" "WAAAAH!"

The appearance of a great falcon beast has disappeared. What's left was an ugly bird with a bald head. Liszt didn't feed it any food and Blessedcurls seemed to be very weak. It was partially falling off the platform it was on.

Lister was about to help it get up but Elkson came out to stop him, “Baron Liszt, now is the perfect time to break the soul of the falcon, don't interrupt or you will have to spend more time to weaken it again.” 

“It really has to be like this? Hasn't it been subdued yet?” “

“No, it didn't bow its head yet, there is no surrender.” 

“Well, continue to work on the falcon.” Liszt shook his head, glanced up from the ground and turned around to head out. He had walked far, but his ear could still hear Blessedcurls' faint cry.

“Waaaah…”
