Chapter 40: Why Does Wild Corn Look Like This?

After Liszt settled the wormgrass of the wheat insect, Glengyle, manager of Wheaton, told him, “My lord, there’s something that I don’t know if I should say.”

“Please speak.” Liszt’s eyes glittered, feeling that he would get the information on the invisible dragon now.

Glengyle, however, replied, “My lord, I found three weird grasses on the desolate land. They are big and tall. The chickens we keep like to eat their grasses.”

Corn!

Liszt immediately realized that the clue was not about the invisible dragon, but the three wild corn. He immediately asked the manager to bring him to the corn that he had been looking forward to.

After he saw the wild corn, Liszt was baffled.

“Glengyle, how long has it been since you discovered the grasses?”

“Three months.”

“And they have always been like this?”

“Yes, my lord.”

Liszt subconsciously touched the Red Blood Sword that he was carrying.

The magic of the ruby was stimulating and nurturing his combat aura all the time. It meant that he was cultivating all the time. With some magic medicines in the future, it was not unlikely for him to grow into a sky knight.

He observed the three wild corns.

The corn he saw did not have straight stems, with leaves, flowers, and cobs. Instead, there were quite a few stems with flowers. A few tiny toothpicks were where the cobs were supposed to be.

The toothpicks were sectioned, and each section was a grass seed.

Don’t tell me that they’re wild corn! This is more like wheat than corn! Liszt knew very well that the three grasses were his reward, but he could barely accept it.

What about big, shiny corncobs?

They’re grasses for livestock… Huh, I remember it now. Are the three wild corns Mexican corn grass?

Liszt remembered that Mexican corn grass, a high-quality and high-yielding grass, had been planted in his home world for pigs, cows, and goats.

That must be it. I don’t think there is really wild corn. Corn was developed after thousands of years of breeding.” Realizing that, he could now sigh and comfort himself. It’s a high-yielding crop after all. I didn’t lose anything.

Getting rid of his frustration, Liszt put on the smile of a noble again. “Glengyle, these are corn grasses that have a high yield and are popular among livestock. You need to take good care of them from now on. I need their seeds.”

“Yes, my lord! I’ll certainly look after the corn grasses and keep them away from the serfs and the livestock!”

“That’s good. I’ll inform Mr. Goltai. He’ll make further arrangements. You only need to carry out his orders.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Looking at the Mexican corn grass again, Liszt took a deep breath. Let’s go back!

The wormgrass of the wheat insect was settled well. The peanut insect, the clover insect, the tulip insect, and the wheat insect had all been properly planted, but the thorn insect and the millet insect were still waiting for appropriate locations.

In any case, elves were always taken care of.
