11 – The Recovery of Peanuts, Flower Bud

“Teacher Gort, what about the search of suitable locations for settling down the sprite worms? They have already been dormant for a month I hope that they can be woken up as soon as possible, as to not to squander their potential”

Sprite worical life for theer to draw a bit of blood, and then establish a ic contract They were the spirits of nature, the essence of plants, as well as the e their wor plants

The worm stalks were the true bodies of sprite worarded as the sprite worms' life-essence talisrow or hibernate

The growth of worrowth of sprite worms

Once the worm stalk died, the sprite ould die with it

As the worm stalks were inside the bellies of the four sprite worms, they did not provide any nourishment; therefore, the sprite worms had no choice but to hibernate This was not only a waste of their productivity, but also delayed the possibility of the sprite worms' evolution Sprite wor Only by continuously absorbing nutrients and affecting the growth of crops could sprite wor very little hope

Liszt still wanted to try his luck and see whether his sprite worms could evolve into lesser sprites

Gort answered: “For the alfalfa sprite worm, it is suitable to be planted on the dairy farrass could be replaced with alfalfa For the maize sprite worm, it is quite difficult to find a suitable place for it as Flower Townmaize For the tulip sprite worh, that place is about to be abandoned… As for the thorns sprite worm… Liszt, as you know, this sprite worm is worthless”

“I do not care whether they have worth or not, all I want is a field for theo ahead and dispatch the idle serfs to plant the alfalfa and tulip sprite worms But Liszt, I lack manpower; the clerks are idle and incapable!”

“You can conscript the commoners at your discretion; the castle will pay them”

“Heavens, the castle will pay theenerous lord However, there are almost no literate people in Flower Town You also want anize a census; but they cannot even write their own nauarantee that they are incapable We cannot count on the commoners”

This is a problem

Flower Town had no school, and with uneducated and illiterate people as officials, it was truly unreliable

“Then, Teacher Gort, do you know any literate people willing to co as they are willing to serve as officials, then I will pay them twice the pay of other town's officials… My castle still should have a lot of gold coins”

No matter how little he was liked, Liszt was still the count's son When he caiven a sizable aold coins

Gort went silent for a s over: “Liszt, I can tell that you have great ambitions for Flower Town I do know some unappreciated talented and capable people However, as your teacher, I must remind you that it is already strenuous for Flower Town to support a lord; increasing the number of people would be extremely burdensome”

“I am clear about this issue Do not worry, I will solve it You can invite them all” Liszt said readily He could create wealth with talented people

In his opinion, Flower Toas an unexploited pristine land

Even though it was very difficult to get rich fro wealth was not liht inside: “Also, I have ht network

The old butler Carter knocked on the door and cae would like to have an audience with you”

“Oh, what is it?”

“He said that peanut settleht While the middle field, that you have instructed to pay attention to, has a peanut with a very large flower bud
