The Defeated Dragon

I invented it.

You invented it?

Yes, a shipwreck was found on the seaside of Huahua Town, and a little treasure was salvaged, including a few crystals. I invited a crystal craftsman and magician to carve crystal lamps for me. Then I discovered that the crystals are ground into lenses. Finally, when the two pieces are superimposed on you, it can actually enlarge your sight.

The story is naturally a fabricated story, but the Earl did not delve into the truth of the story.

For him, it is not important how to invent the telescope, what is important is why the telescope can see far and what are its functions.

No wonder many people say that you have been favored by knights this year. The count rubbed the wooden lens barrel of the telescope and said with emotion, Can you recognize its value?

I think it can be used in warfare. If you can observe the enemy's movements from a long distance, it should be of great help.

Knight's charge, if it can be used with a telescope, it will be able to catch the movement of the local knights faster and seize the most suitable opportunity. Its value can be small, or even useless. A large-scale knight's charge is just Head-to-head; but big can be big.

The earl has been charging all the year round, and he has a lot of experience in this: A small group of knights pays more attention to maneuverability. With binoculars, whether it is a sneak attack or a counter-attack, they can seize the opportunity... Yesterday's battle deduction game, if I have a Telescopes, many of your sneak tactics, will be completely useless.

Liszt nodded, and then added: If I use a telescope, I can achieve more brilliant tactical effects.

Well, it's not wrong to say so.

So the value of the telescope can be great. I think it is very appropriate to give it to you as a gift.

You have grown up. The count sighed again, his eyes filled with relief, but he quickly restrained himself, The telescope is of great significance, and its secret needs to be protected so that no outsiders can know it!

So far, I am probably the only one who can understand the secrets inside the telescope. Liszt suddenly remembered something, Oh, by the way, Brad, the crystal craftsman, if he has the heart, he should be able to understand the truth of the telescope, after all, the lens is him Grinded out.

Then, this crystal craftsman, you must not let it go.

How about you give him and his family to me? As for the principle of the telescope, I can present it to Tulip Castle immediately.

Liszt had an idea, and said. As for the Brad family belonging to free citizens, it doesn't make any sense. No one can disobey the Earl's arrangement for going to Flower Town.

Of course the Earl wouldn't bother with this trivial matter: I'll let Jacob handle it later.

Jacob is the earl's domain advisor.

Satisfied with the telescope, the earl offered more benefits without waiting for Liszt to open his mouth: I heard that you got three thousand catties of iron ingots from Levi's? Saying it so frankly is not without the meaning of beating.

Because Levi's and Liszt never played with Litton, they were so clearly alienated that what the Earl didn't want to see was his son.

Yes, I improved the process of ordinary fermented wine and brewed semi-finished baijiu. I hope to cooperate with my brother to sell it. The three thousand catties of iron ingots are a little bit of my brother's kindness.

You can show the technology of baijiu, which shows that you are not only favored by the honor of the knight, but also have a big picture and long-term planning. I am full of expectations for your future. From the spoils, I will allocate 10,000 catties of iron ingots as a telescope technical compensation.

Earl shot, atmosphere!

Liszt was very excited: Thank you, Father!

As a rare resource, 10,000 jin of iron can produce a lot of ironware, and its value is very high. Perhaps the role of iron is mostly used to make armor and weapons, but for Liszt, iron is one of the basic materials of industry, and this is a material that wood has never been able to replace.

Even if Liszt has iron-wood-quality wood like fast-growing iron thorns.

After thanking him, Liszt called the servant again and took the five mithril mines he specially prepared into the study: Father, this is one of the treasures I found in the shipwreck. I would like to exchange some with you. Gold coins, the territory’s finances cannot make ends meet, and it is very tight.”

Mithril? Of course the count has seen this kind of ore before, and he immediately recognized it in his hand. In fact, he armed an elite knight squad with mithril armor. These five pieces of mithril, mixed with iron ingots, can Forge ten pairs of mithril armor, the value is very valuable.

He glanced at Liszt meaningfully.

Liszt looked at each other calmly. He understood what the earl meant. Flower Town brought out many good things, and the benefits gained from the shipwreck were probably more than the few pieces of mithril and the few crystals mentioned earlier. But he also understood that the earl would never He would snatch the private property of his own son.

How about a piece of mithril mine, converted into a hundred gold coins?

Of course, thank you Father for your generosity.

Five hundred gold coins can buy 2,500 serfs, which is almost more than the population of Huahua Town. Are you sure Huahua Town can support it? the earl said with a smile.

Liszt's heart skipped a beat.

I always feel that this smile has more meaning than the look in the eyes just now, as if but the earl has already seen through everything. Under this smile, Liszt felt that all his secrets could not be hidden. He had reason to guess that, given the earl's grasp of the coral island, it was not difficult to know anything.

Could he already know the existence of Heima Island?

A thought flashed by, and Liszt immediately suppressed it, whether he knew it or not, he just pretended not to know it. Reclaiming a deserted island is not a matter of mutual anger. As long as the Earl does not know the existence of the Black Blood BMW, even if the Black Horse Island is known, it will not hurt.

At least for now, it seems that the Earl is not clear about the Black Blood BMW. Otherwise, even if Liszt is his own son, he will take the Black Blood BMW away without hesitation.

The family affection of nobles is not worth mentioning under the huge interests.

Besides, taking away the horses and compensating Liszt some gold coins would shake the relationship between father and son, so why not do it. Even without the Earl's robbing, as long as a little family public opinion offensive is launched, the saliva of Mrs. Penelope, Mrs. Mary, Rivera, and Levi's can drown Liszt.

In fact, from the perspective of interests, it may not be a bad thing to contribute the Black Blood BMW to the Earl.

But Liszt was reluctant to let the horses fall into the hands of the Tulip family. He did not know how many years he would have to wait before he could allocate some to his armed knight squad.

Suppressing his wild thoughts, Liszt pretended not to see the earl's deep meaning: The route of Huahua Town is slightly different from the traditional farming route. I need a large population.
