9 – The Peanut Settle the Earth Knight Liszt crossed theat the peanut settlement The peanut settlement was a very srass huts

“Stop spacing out! Have you not seen that the Sir Lord has arrived, hurry up and ko in salute!” The settlement’s clerk scra in this place were all serfs

With nu their lives in oppression, the serfs came out of their huts alike a tide They stood woodenly at the doorways, not knohat to do Only after they were berated by the clerk, did they slowly knelt on the ground and saluted in Liszt’s direction

The adults were apathetic

Only the few naked children were raising their heads fro eyes to size Liszt up, followed by having their heads pushed down by the adults, round in the sa to the ground

“Who is in charge of the peanut settle atop his horse; he also did not knoho the person in charge of the peanut settlement was The clerk uttered: “Sirs, that would be the lae”

“Tell him to co an old ed behind hi patched clothes With his withered old body, he seeuish

“Sir Lord, Old George is here”

The clerk pushed the oldto make the old man salute However, the old man looked very nervous as he stood there woodenly, not knohat to do

Liszt waved his hand, indicating for the clerk to retreat, before saying gently: “Old George, there is no need to be nervous I am the Baron Liszt Tulip, the Lord of Flower Town I heard that there is a problem with the peanut settlement’s peanuts Take me to the fields to take a look, to see if I can solve this problee stuttered nervously, “I will lead the way… Heavens be thanked… peanut settlement is saved… Sir Lord has coe raised a gust of wind as he walked

Because it was manned by serfs, there was no footpaths in the fields; therefore, Liszt could only inspect the fields by standing outside the far line, with different serfs seeding different fields

Nearly 90 of the fared to the aristocracy, that is, to Liszt

Only the re 10 were theirs to use as rations

Currently

The peanut fields, which were supposed to be green, were instead green interspersed with yellow The peanut crops lacked vitality as they feebly lied on the ground The soil wasthe peanut crops, yet it was not enough for the crops to thrive

Old George wiped the tears off his face and said emotionally: “Sir Lord, we do not lazy around We water the peanut crops three ti Currently, only the peanut crops on Archie’s field still have not wilted, but they also cannot endure forto turn yellow”

Following the direction in which Old George’s finger was pointing at, Liszt saw a long field in the middle of the peanut settlereen, its peanut crops had reenish-yellow crops around it

Liszt dismounted his horse, went next to the farmland, stooped down and pulled out a yellowed peanut sprout He was about to carefully examine it, when Gort suddenly said: “Liszt, you should not do this dirty work If there is anything you want done, then it is just fine to send the serfs to do it” Even though he was a destitute chevalier, but in his heart, alike the average aristocrat, he still looked down on commoners

Liszt did not pay him any attention

Instead, he exaronomist, but he had cultivated his share of fields when he was young, so he was no stranger to agriculture Peanuts of the torlds had some similarities and some differences However, he could still determine that the current state of the peanut sprout in his hand was due to malnutrition
