The elf worm has not yet been conceived, and Liszt can't wait here foolishly. After arranging the person on duty, he will return to the castle. Flower Town is in contact with the outside world. There is only one road across the Bramble Ridge, and few people come and go.
Only when the Count came to collect taxes, there would be a caravan that would come with the knights.
Now Flower Town has become Liszt's territory, and no one has come to collect taxes, and I am afraid that the caravan is not willing to come. So no one would have the idea of playing elf bugs.
As for the residents of Flower Town, no one dared to attack the elf bug.
The elf worm is the darling of nature, and it will only conclude a master-slave contract with the human beings with magical powers - maybe the monster can also, but the monster doesn't have this idea.
Magic power refers to Dou Qi and magic, and the essence is the same in different expressions.
Flower Town, people with magical powers, Liszt, Marcus, Galtai, only the three. Marcus and Galtai are famous on the coral island, and even if they steal the elf bug, they will not be able to escape. In Coral Island, no one dares to touch the things of the Tulip family, and Liszt is a member of the Tulip family.
So there is no need to worry about the safety of Peanut Elf worms.
He came to his study, closed the door, concentrated for a moment, and waited for the smoke to appear. After repeated groping, he had completely grasped the law of the appearance of smoke. He only needed to calm down to see it.
as predicted.
After a minute.
Twisted snake text appeared in front of him.
"Complete the task and reward a peanut elf bug."
"As I thought, the Peanut Elf is the reward of the previous task... This smoke task that I don't know how to appear does not seem to be able to conjure rewards out of thin air. The rewards are all existing in reality, or something that is about to happen... Dou Qi The sublimation of it is probably due to my accumulation, and the peanut worm should have appeared in the first place."
However, if there is no smoke task, these rewards will probably be wasted.
He reckoned that he had to be an apprentice knight, and the peanut worm would die quietly.
At this time, the twisted smoke snake text, new content has appeared.
"Task: How can the lord of the territory not even know the number of residents, please complete a census of the territory to find out the basic situation of the residents. Reward: a new variety of tulips."
"Census? Isn't this what I'm planning to do, it seems that the smoke mission is to update the content according to my actual situation... New varieties of tulips, what does this mean, is it to give me a potion?" Li Si Special guess.
The growth of the tulip family is because of tulips.
A tulip is not just a flower, it is a potion—a medicinal herb with magical powers. The potion is an important auxiliary material to assist the cultivation of magic and vindictiveness. The potion in the tulips, the highest one in Liszt's memory, can sell for ten gold coins.
The new varieties of tulips, in case of a potion, will definitely be a big killer to revitalize the economy.
Even if it is not a potion, contributing to the Tulip Castle and assimilating the family's tulip elves will also increase the evolution and development potential of the elves.
"Then, the next step is to vigorously supervise the census! What is so troublesome in a small town with a population of at most one or two thousand? Galtai is really disappointing to me, and I will supervise it myself."
A thousand or two thousand people are not much larger than a school in Liszt's hometown. Liszt, who was the president of the academy's student council, still trusts his own abilities.
...
But for Galtai, it was an extremely difficult task.

When he handed over, he asked the former political officer, a knight sent by the Count, who only did one thing in Flower Town—collecting taxes.
The knight doesn't care about other things, and even the knight himself has hardly ever been to the town of flowers. He asked one of his squire knights to manage it on his behalf.
The squire knights here also only do one thing - collect taxes, and don't care about the rest.
Taxes in Flower Town, including peanuts, milk, wheat, barley, oats, tomatoes and tulips. The Earl of Coral Island collects taxes every three months, and takes away most of the crops that are not produced in Flower Town. After the knights have collected the tax, they will no longer be in charge of Flower Town.
The backcountry is not as prosperous as the Coral City.
Therefore, Galtai sat in the dilapidated administrative room of the town, looking at his only four clerks and six patrol members, and felt that the census was an impossible task.
"Have none of you read a book or read a word? There isn't a single reader in the whole town?"
A clerk said embarrassedly: "Sir, there is no school in this town, and we have never left the town..."
The patrolman with the red nose and rosacea said: "Maybe the old cobbler can read, he came from another island, and I saw a book in his house, such a thick and thick book, I even flipped through it, There are pictures of villains in it. But the old cobbler beat me up, he's a blind man, and his shoes are very strong, and he beats people hard."
A blind man, Galtai ignored the old cobbler without even thinking about it.
Since there is no literate person, he can only say: "You should know how to count. You all go to a village, and tell me how many households and how many people there are in the village!"
This should be a simple task, but one day later, when the clerks and patrol members came back to report, Galtai wanted to go crazy.
He yelled loudly: "What, there are 18 households and 56 people in Peanut Village? Mr. Teacup, are you making me laugh!"
Mr. Teacup, whose full name is David Teacup, is a clerk with a tangled face: "Sir, I don't have it. I counted it several times, but I don't know if it's right or not, but it's different every time."
There are 23 households with 92 people in the peanut village. This is the figure that Galtai personally counted when Liszt rescued the peanut field.
He couldn't figure out why David Teacup could count 18 households with 56 people?
Don't think about it.
The number of households in the other villages must also be nonsense.
Thinking of this, Galtai waved his hand weakly: "Okay, don't report it, you can keep the numbers for yourself. Go and move my horse over. I'm going to the castle to see Baron Liszt."
Riding to the castle on horseback, Galtai complained to Liszt with an exaggerated face: "You don't even know that those clerks and patrolmen can't even count from one to ten! There is no way to rely on them to complete the census. , Liszt, I've already written the letter and I'm just waiting for it to be mailed, maybe we can wait for them to arrive and then come to the census."
"How long until then?"
"Don't worry, Liszt, we have enough time, don't we."
"I can't wait." Liszt tapped his fingers on the table. "Mr. Carter, who can read in the castle?"
Carter bowed slightly and said, "Sir, I can write and read, so can Thomas. Well, so can Mrs. Mawson."
"Then, please ask Mrs. Mawson and Thomas to come over. In addition, help me call Mr. Marcus and my four squire knights. I remember they can write."
When everyone was there, Liszt announced in public: "Now, let's put aside what we have at hand and help me complete the census of Flower Town. Town, Mushroom Village, Peanut Village, Tomato Village, Damai village, wheat village, flower farm, dairy farm, everyone is responsible for one village.”
