Chapter 215 – Footprints Leading to the Castle
Liszt did not understand how dragons infect magical beasts and monsters.
However, the conditions of infection are definitely very restrictive, otherwise the Grand Duke would have owned a lot of dragon-type creatures. In fact, the Grand Duke of Sapphire only has one kind of dragon stallion, which is the blue blood dragon horses.
Therefore,
Judging from this, the acquisition of Dragon Blood should be quite difficult.
However,he had an earlier inference that the cows on the dairy farm might have acquired the blood of the dragon and mutated into dragon-breeding cows. This makes him think that it seems that the blood of the dragon is not very difficult to obtain. An invisible dragon wandering a circle of dairy farms has infected the population there with the blood of the dragon.
“So is this difficult or not?”
“Can the fire dragon magic infect creatures into having blood of the dragon?”
“If it could, what animals would I infect with the blood of the dragon?”
Horses already have dragon stallions and black blood dragon horses. Cows may already have dragon breed cows. Others such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep and monkeys do not seem to have much infection value.
“Maybe I can infect Tremblingwoods into a mid-level Dragon Monster?” He thought it was a good idea and Tremblingwoods had to be trained anyway.
Of course, it was just an idea. The research on the magic of fire dragon is still in its preliminary stage. Before thorough research, its best use would be as the firewood that temporarily serves as a kiln. Otherwise, the magic of the fire dragon will just have an explosion effect and not infect Tremblingwoods at all.
After determining the location of the small fire dragon, Liszt picked up fragments of volcanic gla.s.s and returned to the castle.
Marcus brought back a small number of volcanic gla.s.s, but enough to be piled up in his gemstone s.p.a.ce. If these volcanic gla.s.ses were smashed, a basin-sized magical fire dragon would probably condense-somehow, Liszt always likes to use the basin size as an adjective.
His idea was to have the volcanic gla.s.s molded together and made into a jar.
It was convenient to extract and store the fire dragon magic at any time.
This dragon magic is very valuable, and even a little amount wasted is already a huge loss.
“I have to find Brad the crystal maker…..I should find a chance to bring him to Flower Town and work for me.” It"s a pity that craftsmen like Brad can live a good life with their craft alone and would never want to settle down in the country.
——–
The snow fell all morning.
With his cloak, Liszt went back and forth between the castle and the wasteland with the Little Fire Dragon, trying various studies. But he was not a magician, and the research methods he knew were too few. He tossed the rock around but that didn"t toss out much useful information. The only thing worth noting was that he established that fact that volcanic gla.s.s can indeed contain the magic of fire dragons.
He found that the small fire dragon would break up immediately when it hit the volcanic gla.s.s, but would not cause an explosion.
The explosion was caused by a physical reaction caused by the fire dragon magic"s contact with other non-identical magic items. If there was no magical stimulus, the small fire dragon can keep the fire dragon shape and burn the surroundings, as if a constant inexhaustible source of heat.
The small fire dragon activities were limited within 50 cm.
The ice and snow melted, the ground dried up, and it was burned into scorched earth, causing cracks.
“Such a mysterious fire dragon …I don"t know how many years have pa.s.sed since, but its magic power is extraordinary. No one would believe it if it is not seen with his own eyes.” He felt emotional and thought of a kind of earth technology, “Could this be like a controllable nuclear fusion? Controllable nuclear fusion is commonly known as the artificial sun. Whoever has controllable nuclear fusion has endless energy. “
He even believed that all dragons are equivalent to a man-made sun that lives for a thousand years.
A continuous production of energy.
The area of snow was roasted by the small fire dragon, and it continued to melt and vaporize other areas, forming a peculiar landscape in the heavy snow. Liszt"s thoughts returned from the artificial sun. When he saw this, he couldn"t help thinking, “If I dig a pool, can you create a hot spring?”
Winter is the perfect time for hot springs.
He couldn"t bear the impulse and immediately decided. “I want to make a hot spring in the castle, just in the bathroom!” The bathroom has a large bathtub. He could separate a small area and put in the small fire dragon. It would be equivalent to continuously adding hot water. There would no longer be a need for servants to bring in hot water from downstairs.
He quickly returned to the castle to design the construction plan of the indoor hot spring.
He plans to implement the hot spring within the week.
By the time he drew up the first drawing of the hot spring bath, Gort had already brought the serfs back to Flower Town. Unfortunately, because of sickness and the cold, seven serfs died on the road. Counting in the children before, only 829 people came to Flower Town, including 142 craftsmen.
It was a pity that there were those that had frozen and died. But considering the weather, Liszt could only sigh.
In any case, with more than 800 serfs to supplement, the total population of Flower Town finally broke through the 3,000 mark. In terms of population alone, it is no longer a barren town but has reached the level of a medium-sized town. To reach the level of Falcon Town, a wealthy town of more than 4,000 people, he will have to continue to buy serfs.
———
“This d.a.m.n weather is almost freezing people into ice cream.” Gort complained immediately after seeing the situation. “If it wasn"t for the sudden drop in temperature, the dead serfs would have had a chance to come to Flower Town alive and see the place of the knight"s glory. “
“Don"t complain. You have a few more days to make sure these serfs are properly placed … There will be gin for dinner. “
“Of course, this is my job.” His complaint was more of a hint to make Liszt invite him to dinner. After Liszt promised to drink gin at dinner, Gort was shaken immediately.
He yelled at town officials and clerical officials and made the messy scene even more messy.
Gort then stepped into the field, showed his management ability, redistributed the duties of each official, a.s.signed the work content of the clerks and patrol members to ensure that no one was slacking — and, to be sure, he really had some sense of how an aristocrat should command his subordinates.
The servants of the castle also partic.i.p.ated in the arrangement of the new serfs.
The main thing is that the kitchen will make a lot of basic food and give it to the batch of serfs. Mrs. Morrison and the maids will sew clothes during their leisure time and give it to the serfs to avoid getting cold.
During this time.
Jessie led the team, along with a few footmen and a.s.sistants, to pick up buckets of flour, beans and various meat, and heading towards the town along Thorns Ridge.
Pa.s.sing by Tremblingwoods" dog kennel, Jesse greeted him cheerfully. “Good afternoon, Tremblingwoods.”
Tremblingwoods has always been dismissive of servants, it was only loyal to Liszt. But after Jesse greeted him, Tremblingwoods suddenly poked his head out of the kennel. The dog sniffed and sniffed, and his head looked away, as if something had been found. It just saw a few familiar humans.
It was just the humble servant responsible for shoveling.
So, shaking his head, Tremblingwoods retracted into the kennel again-it was cold, and the being under the quilt inside the kennel was warm.
Neither it nor the servants noticed that after clearing the snow that had fallen on ground, there was a pair of inexplicable footprints that lead towards the castle.
