Chapter 50: Reward: Invasion of a Dragon

The houses in Oysterton hadn’t been built, but the fishermen were doing their job.

The roads in the villages were being built up every day.

The low-yield and low-nutrition grasses in the Cow Farm had all been replaced by clovers. The cows liked the new food, and milk production increased a lot.

In the horsefield outside of the castle, clovers were flourishing, too, but no female horses were pregnant yet.

The peanuts in Peanuton were growing well. By estimation, it wouldn’t be a problem to harvest them twice a year.

The black tulip in the Flower Farm was yielding fruits. Many seeds would be spewed out soon for multiplication. Thanks to the wormgrass of the tulip insect, the black tulip had more than thirty fruits.

The seeds would be enough for several acres. Then, with the big elf of Tulip Castle, the scale would grow even larger within half a year.

If they were sown the regular way, they wouldn’t reach such a scale even after years. That was the power of elves.

However, elves were helpers that ultimately prevented human beings from studying fertilizers.

Liszt was changing the agriculture of Flower Town. Feces, ashes, and sludge were popularized in every village.

Wheat was still grown in Wheaton. Thanks to the help of the wheat insect, the production would be increased by twenty percent. In the meantime, the serfs of Barleyton tended to the corn grasses and collected the seeds.

Barley and rye were mostly grown in Barleyton before. It was seriously short of serfs after the millet land was reclaimed in Barleyton.

Mushroomton and Potaton were the same as before.

The changes in the town proper were greatest. As per Liszt’s order, there were no feces or garbage on the streets anymore. Whoever littered about would be whipped—Liszt kept some of the punishments that nobles invented.

At first, Liszt thought of keeping them in custody, but then he realized that imprisonment without physical punishment was more of a privilege for the serfs.

They did not need to work, and they would still have food.

So, physical punishment was necessary.

“I’ve distributed fifty acres of land for the plantation of millet. It’s the best that the millet insect can influence. Now, the serfs in Barleyton are too few, so we’re only developing ten acres of millet land right now.”

Goltai described the situation to Liszt.

They were here to settle the millet insect today. The millet had sprouted on the land that had been fertilized with manure.

“Ten acres it is, then. After the rye and barley are harvested, we’ll plant millet instead.” Liszt nodded.

Then, he began to settle the wormgrass of the millet insect.

The millet insect was glitteringly gold, almost dazzling.

“Come on, little buddy. Enjoy the fresh air.”

The millet insect was indeed a brave guy. It crawled out of the jade box and spewed the wormgrass at the center of the land. The wormgrass soon grew large.

The new mission had been accomplished.

Five of the six elvish insects had been settled down. The thorn insect was the last one.

In a great mood, Liszt focused his attention on the horse, and the misty words soon appeared before his eyes. Mission accomplished. Reward: Eye of Magic Power.
