Chapter 41: If You Want to Be Rich, Build Roads First

Observing the situation objectively, Liszt was freed from the unrealistic illusions about dragons and realized that the information on the invisible dragon might not be anything good.

Based on his experience, he had several speculations.

Firstly, the mist was merely introducing the information to him. However, it didn’t make any sense. A goldfinger shouldn’t be so boring.

Secondly, there was an invisible dragon around to capture. If this was true, it was definitely exciting, but Liszt didn’t have the power to capture any dragon. Even a small dragon could wipe out all the knights on Coral Island.

Thirdly, an invisible dragon came from far away to offer items to him—Liszt did not remember having such a good dragon friend.

Lastly, an invisible dragon would attack Flower Town soon.

The fourth speculation was undoubtedly the most probable one. It was not big news that dragons attacked human towns. Otherwise, “dragonslayer” wouldn’t have existed as a profession in the knight novels.

Basically, in a qualified knight novel, the hero would definitely become a dragon knight, or slay a dragon, before they married a beautiful princess.

So, the rewards are telling that I have to fight a dragon and become Liszt the Dragonslayer?

Liszt smiled at the mirror. Then, where can I find my princess after the dragon is dead?

He had complicated feelings. He was worried that his theory might be true, but he felt that it was not going to happen. After much deliberation, he decided that he should accomplish the mission first and study the clues in the reward before he rushed into anything.

If an invisible dragon was truly going to attack him, he could always ask for help.

Once the message was delivered to the Sapphires, it would easily make him a marquis. It was the highest title that the archduke could give.

Summoning Goltai, he gave him the mission. “The corn grass couldn’t have grown out of thin air. Birds or wind must’ve brought their seeds over. Mr. Goltai, ask all the spare farmers to search the villages and try to find more corn grass.”

Goltai was rather confused about the mission. “Liszt, is the corn grass very important?”

“Of course, it’s highly nutritional and even more suitable as fodder than clovers are… Besides, cattle will grow faster with different varieties of food.”

“Since it’s so valuable, I’ll have them search every corner.”

As they talked, Liszt suddenly saw a group of people strutting to Thorn Hill in the south.

“Mr. Goltai, is that the new patrol team?”

“Yes, your squires were of great help. Those jackasses didn’t follow my orders in the beginning, but after a few fights, their tempers were gone.”

“That’s good. Discipline is the top priority for the patrolmen. Mr. Goltai, we must strengthen the management of the patrol team. I have a few ideas. The patrolmen must be responsible for the safety of the villages. They will be paid by the town, wear the same clothes, and observe the same code of conduct.”

Liszt intended to improve the patrol team so that he could learn everything about the town.

“However, the town has few Neldas. Isaiah has complained more than once that he can’t do anything with Neldas.”

Liszt did not have many gold coins in his castle, either. According to his butler, he had only about 150 left.
