The Defeated Dragon Chapter 213

Chapter 213 – Volcanic Glass Experiment

Liszt benefited a lot from the charge and sword battle with Marcus.

Although it is possible to build a car behind closed doors, it is still necessary to take it out and do actual tests on it. It would be difficult to judge its performance as good or bad without doing so.

Moreover, this kind of actual combat also allowed Liszt to have a clearer understanding of his strength.

He believed that he could once again fight Marcus, and that he could crush the other side completely, whether in charge or sword battle.

“An elite earth knight who uses magic potions versus those that rely on combat skills alone… the rich and can really do whatever they want.”

Just so.

The continuous days of combat gave him the most experience, but not how to fight, in the sense of the word.

It was still all about making money and taking magic potions.

“Soon, a batch of fast-growing magic thorns can be harvested, and Elkson will make more magic potions, which will lead to more Flame Mushroom magic potion, which will speed up my path to evolution!” Liszt had understood the essence of knighthood cultivation. “There is also magical beast meat, while some even have to borrow money just to eat a few pounds every day!”

Knock Knock.

“My Lord,” Carter said as he knocked.

As Liszt recollects his thoughts, he picks up the thick leather paper, which reads, “Take potions, eat meat, drink milk”, and inserts it into a magic book he recently leafed through, and responds, “Please come in.”

“The caravan carriage has returned. The serfs children were carried back as well. Mr. Isaiah asks you how you would like to arrange the serfs.”

“Let him follow the original plan.”

“Yes, Sir.” Carter took a letter from his arms and handed it to Liszt. “There is also a letter from the caravan here, which was written for you by Adviser Gort.”

Gort did not return with the caravan. A large number of serfs were stranded outside, and he was required to arrange a place for these serfs to stay at night.

So he sent a letter to the merchant team about the serf handover.

Looking at the letter, the number of serfs was recorded. The original order was one thousand serfs, including two hundred craftsmen, but only 836 serfs came to Flower Town alive, leaving only 144 craftsmen. The amount of damage was too much, exceeding the indicators given by Liszt.

“Frank promised to supplement us with one hundred serfs and twenty craftsmen on the basis of the serfs to be sold next time.” The letter also recorded the results of the bargain between Gort and Frank.

The report followed a transaction record of three hundred gold coins.

Frank didn't agree on a discount because he received a letter from Levis. As mentioned, the war will stop as soon as winter approaches. The Count was already packing up plundered resources and is preparing to withdraw from the Eagle Kingdom. Frank wanted to wait for Levis to come back before deciding whether to continue selling serfs.

“The Count is coming back?” After reading the letter, Liszt had to calculate the remaining time.

It was already December. The Count left in September, therefore he had been gone for three months. This year's break was not as long compared to the previous years or even during the Lunar New Year.

“I have no idea if this year's harvest is rich or not. Eagle Kingdom is a big iron-producing country. If I can plunder more iron ore, I can buy a batch and leave it for the serfs to forge weapons and equipment … We might have the opportunity next year to follow the Count to the battlefield to pick up some beans. “

Dinner was set up for Liszt alone.

Town officials were busy accepting the serf children. Children without relatives were directly sent to the serf homes in Flower Town.

Children with relatives were temporarily thrown into a new house in a residential area while waiting for their parents to come and arrange the housing situation.

Food was distributed to the serfs' homes early on, and then served by the serfs to the children. The extra clothes and bedding were then borrowed from the serf's home to keep the children warm, and will be returned to each serf when the castle buys new clothes.

There were also a number of children who have been caught in the cold, or who did not agree with the water and earth and needed to be cared for by the elder serfs to prevent untimely death.

The night was windy and snowy, but Flower Town was destined to be lively.

Tomorrow will also be a busy day. More than 800 serfs will need time to integrate into the life in Flower Town. One of the biggest obstacles is the language issue. Snake Language was spoken here, while most of the new serfs speak Eagle. Fortunately, the earlier batch of new serfs had learned basic Snake Language and could communicate with them.

After dinner, Liszt went on a tour around town.

It was not very pleasant to see a thin, yellow-faced child shaking in the cold and being instructed by the senior officials to salute him – it was a direct collision of two world views.

He sighed.

After he showed up, he returned directly to the castle. He was in no mood to stay outside any longer.

After returning to the castle, Liszt went straight upstairs, just to see the maid Little Lily bending down to clean the corridor. She had on a modified version of the black and white maid overalls. The skirt was stretched, revealing a pair of straight white long tights. There was now a rounded curve under the skirt, which is very respectable.

Hearing footsteps, Lily quickly turned around and stood at the corner, letting Liszt pass by. “Master.”

“Just continue.” Liszt retreated regretfully, entered his study, calmed his mood for three minutes, and grabbed a volcanic glass on the table.

He studied it for a while before the noon break.

No matter how he maneuvers his qi, it cannot penetrate into the volcanic glass and come into contact with the magic in the bubbles. The magical power of these fire dragons was trapped in the bubbles, as if completely frozen, and cannot be let out.

But after exploring, he found something.

The fire magic around the volcanic glass was obviously agitated a lot, as if pulled in by the magic of the fire dragon in the bubble. It was a bit like a magnetic field. It was obviously not accessible through volcanic glass, but it can cause agitation of fire magical properties. This was probably why Marcus can feel its magic.

 “With this feature alone, it feels right to build a magical equipment with it.”

He quietly wondered. “If there were a large number of volcanic glass arranged together, could it form a magic array? And then would the fire magic in the magic array create an environment full of fire magic? If you put a magician into it, would he be able to roll out a fireball?”

This doesn't seem to make much sense.

He even wanted to break open the volcanic glass and release the magic of the fire dragon. However, after being released, it was difficult to guarantee the consequences of the kind of magic that belongs to a fire dragon.

“Will it infect the surrounding environment, such as causing a fire?” He wasn't sure, but it was obviously not suitable for release in the study, where there were still many books on the bookshelf as furnishings.

It is best done during the day.

One will have to put on armor, find an open area, and release the fire dragon magic.

But when thinking about it, it was just a little bit of a bubble in a volcanic glass. How much magic can it actually store? How much reaction can it cause?

After tangling for a while, he still didn't break the volcanic glass.

Several possibilities and potential uses had to be predicted first and will have to be validated tomorrow.
