Chapter 20 (2/2)

“My lord.”

“Thomas, I have a mission for you: feed Dudderson for me. Right, have you built a kennel for Dudderson?”

“Yes, my lord.” Thomas took the rope and was about to lead Dudderson to the kennel.

Dudderson acknowledged Liszt as its master, but it did not obey any others. When Thomas tried to pull it away, the dog immediately barked and bit Thomas’ shoes ferociously like a dangerous beast.

However, Dudderson’s little teeth could not break Thomas’ shoes at all.

“Take good care of it.”

“Rest assured, my lord. I’ve raised hounds before.”

“Rampant Earth Dogs are much more dangerous than hounds. They’re monsters. However, it’s all right. After the dog grows older, I’ll make sure that it’s exhausted every day.”

After appointing a keeper for the dog, Liszt climbed to the pinnacle of the castle and observed the desolate land around the castle which he had ignored. He never noticed that the land around the castle was arable.

Peanuton, Tomaton, Mushroomton, Barleyton, Wheaton, Cow Farm, Flower Farm, the town, and the castle… This place actually has nine villages. I have to make the best use of every village. However, it seems impossible to till so much land without machines.

Machines could plow lands much faster than humans could.

It sounded amazing that two thousand people were working on tens of thousands of acres of land, but most farmlands were left alone after the seeds were sown.

This must be what agriculture is like in Africa, isn’t it? Population is the most valuable resource, but where can I find enough population?

It’s rather difficult.

Even so, Liszt was confident that Flower Town could prosper. As a transmigrater with goldfingers, he’d better jump off a building if he couldn’t do it in case he embarrassed other transmigraters.

…

“Dragon Assault!”

In the garden before the castle, Liszt performed the moves in Dragon Drill with a single sword. A fire was ignited on the blade and spread out like a burning fan with cracking sparks.

The fire was not real, but the effect of the combat aura when it was attached to the sword.

Liszt’s fire-natured combat aura was explosive.

Even the combat aura of the same quality often had different highlights. For example, his fire-natured combat aura focused on explosiveness, and that of other people might focus on temperature.

I’ll finally grasped Dragon Assault. Now, I only need to pick up the last move, Heart of the Fiery Dragon, before I can claim the reward.

He was very delighted.

His talents were quite impressive. Dragon Drill was divided into two parts. The first part was ways to improve the combat aura, and the second part was sixteen offensive moves. Liszt mastered the first part easily and was working on the second part.

It often takes other people half a month to learn a technique, but I’ve finished it in less than a week.

It’s hard to imagine that he failed to become an earth knight before adulthood. Was his aptitude too poor?

Since the physical qualities of the body were not bad, aptitude could be the only problem. Liszt was probably too silly before adulthood. As for the Liszt of now, he wouldn’t say he was smart, but he was definitely not stupid.

I should continue studying and try to grasp Heart of the Fiery Dragon today.
