Chapter 582: Grandmother is Right

This chapter is an additional update sponsored by the alliance leader "Glory's Battle Song". The big alliance has sponsored too much, and Lao Bai has been completely exhausted, how tragic!

After resting at Tulip Castle for a night, Liszt left the next day as agreed and went to Penelope's small castle to pick a potted plant from her balcony to take back.

However, after using the Magic Eye to carefully inspect, he was disappointed to find that none of the potted plants showed any signs of magic power feedback.

Not a single pot was nurturing a spirit bug.

But he still had a servant randomly pick up a pot that looked like many small stones.

"This is a living stone flower, see how beautiful they are, each cracked small stone is a living stone flower, there are twenty-five in this pot. May the glory of knighthood bless you, one of them that blooms might be nurturing a spirit bug, my handsome young man."

Penelope's affectionate blessing.

Previously, she thought Liszt looked too much like Melissa, a woman she disliked, but now she finds him increasingly handsome and unparalleled.

Taking a pot of living stone flowers.

Liszt bid farewell to Penelope, and on the way, he slightly examined the living stone flowers—each one looked like two split stones with very smooth edges. Between the two splits, some had grown a flower, the color of the flower and the stone were different, very peculiar.

Returning to Flower Town, he handed the potted plant to Carter the butler, asking him to arrange for someone to take care of it.

He certainly wouldn't waste his energy on a useless potted plant.

"Recently, there doesn't seem to be anything worth my concern, I should go and write 'The Correlation Between Magic Network Nodes and Spirits and Dragons', striving to complete this great work on magic theory and establish my status as a theoretical Archmage."

Standing in the study with the Thermostatic Pearl.

You can see the distant town.

The town is bustling, with many merchants in mixed attire freely moving about, the foundation of a trade town is beginning to show results. Many serfs are pushing wheelbarrows, transporting goods on the town streets—the wheelbarrow was originally Liszt's secret tool, but it was quickly exposed.

This is unavoidable, the technical content of the wheelbarrow is really not much, one look and you can basically figure out the general principle.

After all, everyone has seen carriages and carts, and is not unfamiliar with the structure of a pushcart.

It's just replacing two wheels with one.

As soon as the wheelbarrow was popularized on Black Horse Island, carpentry workshops on Coral Island began to imitate it, and now wheelbarrows are in use in various cities on Coral Island.

So the wheelbarrow no longer has any secrecy.

In the castle, servants are carrying water buckets to a nearby well to fetch water. Since the well driller Fred Wellshaft arrived, wells have been drilled in every town, and naturally one was drilled near the castle in Flower Town. Servants no longer need to go to the town to fetch water.

"Once a dilapidated and impoverished town, now thriving, it feels quite fulfilling." Liszt's heart is filled with excitement.

But soon he laughs at himself: "Strictly speaking, the role I personally played seems minimal, most of the achievements come from the smoke missions."

Thinking with a clear conscience.

Even though he usually boasts of being a prodigy, a child of glory, the youngest sky knight, the youngest dragon knight in the Sapphire Duchy.

In his heart, Liszt does not really think he is a genius. Before his transmigration, he was just an ordinary office worker, and after transmigrating, he did not immediately become a strategist or a martial arts genius. Nor did he want to arm himself with red theory to change the world in another world.

He just quietly integrated into the noble class, enjoying a luxurious life while silently striving towards the great cause of dragon riding.

Most of the time, he goes with the flow, following the smoke missions to act, rarely having any long-term plans or a well-developed layout, usually doing whatever comes to mind. If it were another transmigrator with strong execution, they might have already started to overthrow the rule of the Sapphire family.

And he had only managed to secure the title of Viscount, enjoying the admiration of the crowd.

Of course, everyone has their own way of life. Liszt didn't consider himself a great man, nor did he think the poor masses of this other world needed his salvation. Back when he lived on Earth, seeing news about China funding Africa would fill him with anger—his own country was full of impoverished people, yet they still found time to care about Africa.

Although there were strategic considerations at the national level, and funding poor African countries was necessary to secure resources, as an individual, his perspective was narrow, focusing only on his own countrymen.

Transmigrating to another world.

It was hard to build a sense of belonging. What he cared about, apart from the people close to him worth cherishing, truly didn't include others—his concern for the serfs mostly stemmed from sympathy, as seeing others suffer inevitably made him uneasy.

"Heh."

He shook the cup filled with half-filled milk, brushing these thoughts aside: "I didn't expect to become so sentimental... I haven't even ridden the Fire Drake Leo yet, where would I find the time to lament?"

Thinking this.

He summoned the smoke mission.

The mission remained the same, with five Abandoned Insect Mushrooms not yet properly arranged—golden thread mushroom, monkey head mushroom, and puffball had already had greenhouses built and were being cultivated; the black truffle greenhouse was chosen for the horse town, located between two hills, with a slightly drier climate suitable for black truffle growth.

Only the Blue Pine Mushroom hadn't yet decided where to build the greenhouse.

In fact, the serfs cultivating the Blue Pine Mushroom were also very anxious. They scoured every corner of Black Horse Island but hadn't found a suitable place to plant.

After several urgings from Liszt, they finally settled on Thorn Town as the planting site.

By the time the Blue Pine Mushroom greenhouse was built, it was already late June, and at this time, the smoke mission was finally completed: "Mission complete, reward: one living stone flower spirit bug."

"Huh?"

Seeing the mission's reward content, Liszt was shocked: "Really? Does my grandmother have magic power? Am I under the influence of the smoke dragon, or is Penelope influenced by the smoke mission? Black nightshade bug, fig bug, green ingot bug, and now a living stone flower bug!"

Without a doubt, he found the living stone flower insect grass that was blooming and nurturing a spirit bug among the twenty-five living stone flowers in the pot.

He shook his head.

He didn't waste time pondering who the true child of glory was, deciding directly in his heart: "From now on, Penelope's potted plants, I, Liszt, will take care of them!"

The smoke slowly reformed into a new serpent tongue.

"Mission: The original name of Flower Town originated from the discovery of a new variety of Tulip, but now only a few red Tulip 'Sundance' and yellow Tulip 'William I' remain here, gradually withering. Please investigate the cause of the withering of the red and yellow Tulips and resolve it. Reward: two spirit bugs."

His eyes lit up, and Liszt smiled.

This was a familiar pattern. Based on previous smoke missions, the withering red and yellow Tulips were undoubtedly nurturing spirit bugs.

"Two Tulip bugs at once? I'll take it!"
