The Defeated Dragon

“She’s ready to give birth, my Lord.” Old Defoe said as he carefully hid from the cage and pointed to the part under Stupidwoman’s tail.

Liszt certainly knew that Stupidwoman was about to give birth, and his task reward was about to be born.

Looking at the shabby state of the dog prison and the snowy weather outside, Liszt couldn’t help saying to the footman, “Thomas, go and bring two quilts.”

“Yes, sir.”

Stupidwoman was lying on the wooden board, staring at the surrounding servants that were cleaning her. She did not return to her original cleverness, but became lazy and dazed.

This is probably the case with any beast that has been locked up for a long time.

Tremblingwoods would stick out his tongue and lick his hair around him from time to time. Liszt wondered whether it was the effect of low temperatures in winter, or whether because the dog beast had completely completed the bloodline transformation. Tremblingwoods no longer pants frequently and returns to his calm state much faster than before. After so many days of abstinence, he did not even want to go to the dog farm.

“Will it give birth to Tremblingwoods’ pups ?” The plump Paris stood outside the cage and asked curiously.

“Of course, there is no third male dog here.”

In the entire Flower Town, no beast could ever step into Tremblingwoods place.

Paris rolled her eyes. “No, Lord Baron, I mean can it produce the same level of magical beast as Tremblingwoods?”

“Maybe, maybe not, but I hope that the offspring of Tremblingwoods and Stupidwoman are mid-level magical beast so that I can have a large army of magical beasts and an order of fierce pets.” Liszt’s heart was burning, “They will become the cornerstone of my achievements and gain countless honors for me!”

“Ugh.”

Paris sighed. “Why does every noble lord think of war?”

“Because the world is not yet at peace.” Liszt directed his servant to throw the quilt in the cage and push Stupidwoman onto the quilt. Then he turned his head and responded, “Someone needs to stand up and turn the tide to create a world free from hunger, injury and oppression.”

“Will you stand up?”

“The goal is too big .. too daunting even for me.” As a traverser who has no ideals to change the world, the reality is that he can only change his own small part of the world, which is Flower Town. “So we may as well start with the small goals around us, and realize it one goal at a time.”

“So what is Lord Baron’s first small goal?” Paris asked curiously.

“Riding a dragon.” Liszt pulled out a beautiful curved smile, looked up at the gloomy sky, and suddenly thought of that morning at Longtaro Castle, and the promise he made to Danica. He then solemnly said, “I wanted to ride a dragon even when I was young.”

At first, Paris thought he was joking. But when he said it so solemnly, she immediately felt that the tall and handsome country lord in front of him might really have such ambition.

She thought it was ridiculous.

She had seen the light dragon, the evil dragon that gave her the identity of the black dragon. Its incredible figure was so horrifying that it made people despair.

It is impossible for a mortal to control a dragon.

However, she was looking forward to it, hoping that one day, Liszt could really ride a dragon and become a dragon knight who would make many women runaway by just hearing the name!

It might be amazing to see a dragon with your own eyes. The dragon knight dream is becoming more and more unfathomable and unimaginable in her heart.

“Don’t be silly. Let’s go.” Liszt had walked out of the iron cage. Stupidwoman should finish giving birth in two days.

Paris recovered, “Oh, okay.”

It seemed a bit silly.

This made Liszt speechless. Indeed, a comfortable life would kill one’s morale. Before all this, this mercenary in front of him once lived to kill those nobles who did her family wrong and dared to save his sister from across the sea. Now she is a fat, not so clever servant who Liszt’s doubts, has lower fighting abilities.

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

Sensing Liszt’s return, the thorny sprite Ella, who lived in the castle, flew directly out of the worm room and landed on Liszt’s head just as he entered the castle gate.

It missed Liszt very much.

Liszt felt the sprite’s emotions and felt very warm, so he let Ella sit on his head, its hands still holding his hair.

“Sir, would you like to take a bath or meet with the town officials first?” Butler Carter came to inquire.

“See the officials first, deal with the accumulated affairs up to this time, and then take a bath.”

“Yes, sir.”

Liszt did not immediately head to the castle when he arrived at Flower Town. He directly went to visit Stupidwoman and check on the pups on her belly.

The town officials were informed and came quickly.

After the ceremony, the report began. Facts have proved that even without Liszt’s personal supervision, the development of Flower Town was still in operation.

The barren fields were being reclaimed every day, not only Thorns Ridge, but also the wasteland of the villages were all under development. The bone tools of the bonesmith shop were produced every day and allocated for the serfs to use. This way, the serfs were more eager to cultivate this year and wanted to take over more acres of wasteland.

The stones were being mined every day. The complete large stones are simply piled up in one place. These stones will be used in the construction of large projects in the future, such as Liszt ’s new castle on Black Horse Island. Small pieces of stone are broken into smaller stones for road construction and paving.

Knight’s Square has been built and children have a warmer training place. The two bath houses have become the landmarks of Flower Town. Even the nobles of North Valley City have visited several times just to take a hot spring-like bath. The icehouse has already started to store ice cubes and is currently filling an ice room.

All in all, in today’s Flower Town,the people and animals are peaceful.

This made Liszt very grateful that the territory was still on the right track and his team of officials was gradually taking shape. However, there are also some disappointments. It turns out everything would be fine without him. From the celebration dinner to the Red Crab Island to the celebration of the New Year’s Day, he did not preside over  anything for about half a month before and after, and Flower Town was in no disorder.

“Should I feel bad that I don’t have to do anything, or should I just be grateful that I only need to have a strategic view for this town?”

In any case, this was a good thing. A Lord enjoys giving out errands. This is the mainstream rhythm of daily life. Of course, there are still a lot of things he needed to care about. The main thing was that the smoke missions should not stop. This is his biggest help for riding a dragon.

“Adviser Gort, have you successfully developed the ingredients for the ice and snow flame mushroom?”

 “At present, it is close to success. Several serfs successfully planted ice and snow mushrooms in their own greenhouses, but the output is unstable and the growth effect is still very poor.”

“Let them continue to work hard.”

“Yes, sir.”

“The cultivation of common flame mushrooms cannot be delayed either. By the way, has Mr. Elkson been here yet?”

“He came once and he also heard that you went to Longtaro Castle to celebrate the New Year. He just took a bath in the public bath houses and went on his way.”

“Contact him and let him come as soon as possible.” Liszt said. The flame mushroom magic potion in his hand was running out and Elkson needed to make another batch as soon as possible. There were also fast-growing magic thorns that have been harvested and sealed in the castle warehouse. They can also be made into magic potions together.

Since the construction projects of Flower town do not need his participation,Liszt could spend his spare time practicing.

With smoke missions, dragon cows, numerous potions, sword knights, the count’s qi tips and scientific mind, he hoped that he could advance to a Sky Knight one day earlier, preferably breaking the 22-year-old record of Marquis Merlin.
