The caravan did not return at night, but waited until noon the next day before returning to Flower Town.

Two of the six carriages were full of goods, and the other four were occupied by Marcus and Blair's family members. The six horses were all very tired, and it was a bit overloaded to pull the carriage alone.

"My lord!"

Marcus turned over and dismounted and saluted. A large number of people quickly came down from the carriage behind him.

"Teacher Marcus, if I remember correctly, you don't have that many family members, right?" Liszt counted carefully, there are 22 people in Marcus's family alone.

"My two older sisters and their families are also willing to follow me to settle in Flower Town." Marcus replied, "They live in poverty in Coral City, mainly because they have too many children. Even if I help them from time to time, it is still difficult for them to have enough food and clothing."

Liszt nodded, he always welcomes the population.

Then Blair's family also saluted him. Blair's family was not that many except for his wife and four children. Among them, the eldest son had just been married and had not yet given birth to a child.

Let Gortai settle two families.

Liszt then started to ask about the business of this caravan.

Old Grandet said nervously, "Sir, not many copies of the seafood were sold. Half of them were given to the citizens of Coral City as free tasting food. In fact, many citizens who have tasted the seafood said that the seafood is delicious. However, one person who ate seafood developed red spots all over his body and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, which caused the citizens to become afraid of seafood."

Harpagon added, "If the patrol hadn't heard that the caravan belonged to you, Lord Lord, we might have had all the goods confiscated this time."

Are you allergic to seafood?

Liszt thought that some people are indeed allergic to seafood, but the residents of Flower Town have not yet become allergic to seafood, which made him think that seafood from other worlds would not cause allergies.

I didn't expect that there are actually people who are allergic to seafood.

"It's really unexpected that something like this happened, but don't feel any psychological pressure. A very small number of people will have physical problems because of eating seafood. But this is only a minority. Once a problem occurs, stop immediately and it will recover soon. Next time you sell seafood, remember to make it clear."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

"Have you purchased everything I need?"

"Parchment, dry milk powder, hop beer, red wine... have all been purchased, but we did not buy the pig pancreas you need. Coral City The only few slaughterhouses do not keep pig pancreas. I have contacted them and asked them to keep the pig pancreas as much as possible, and wait for us to purchase it next time."

Pig pancreas is used to make pancreas, which is soap.

The castle now uses soap powder, which is made from the fruit of a saponaria tree ground into powder. There are soap makers among the new serfs, who can add flower petals to the soap powder to make soap.

However, making soap is very complicated. The soap maker Bunir does not have the equipment and has not yet been able to make soap.

So Liszt hopes to make homemade soap.

After Old Grandet reported the situation, he prepared to hand over the payment to Liszt. Of course, Liszt would not accept it with his hands, which would be disrespectful to his dignity. He picked up the cup on the table and said calmly, "Mr. Carter, please hand over to Old Grandet. From now on, you and Old Grandet will be responsible for the purchase of the castle."

"As you wish, sir." Carter took over the job without hesitation.

Marcus's family and Blair's family had a dinner in the castle. Liszt didn't bother with their arrangements anymore and left this aspect directly to Gortai.

As a lord, his most important job is to enjoy.

"Master, Mushroom Hamlet has a little thing, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it." Mrs. Morson was cleaning the study room with Maisie, and said to Liszt who was holding a knight novel to pass the time.

Mushroom Hamlet?

Liszt instantly thought of his mission reward, a new species of mushroom. "Mushroom Hamlet What happened?"

"Most of the shiitake mushrooms used in the castle are picked from Bob's family in Wainneck. His shiitake mushrooms are the freshest and tenderest. But Bob is often frowning these days. A kind of red shiitake mushrooms grows on the shelf where he grows shiitake mushrooms. When he shovels out a batch, another batch will grow."

Didn't wait to finish.

Liszt immediately stood up from the chair, walked out of the study without looking back, and started shouting from upstairs, "Thomas, prepare your horses!"

Thomas, who was already ready to fall asleep, hurriedly ran out of the room and went to prepare his horse.

Carter also walked over quickly. "Master, do you need to go out for something important tonight?"

"It's something very important. I have to go to Mushroom Hamlet. Please ask someone to notify Gortai." He suddenly remembered something and turned to the housekeeper who was still in the study. "Mrs. Morson, you come with me and lead the way to Wainneck Bob's house."

After a while.

Thomas Get your horses ready.

Light the torch and walk towards Mushroom Hamlet under the moonlight.

The valet Jesse rode a horse and went to the town to call the four Retainer Knights Gortai and Liszt, and went to Mushroom Hamlet to join Liszt.

Mushroom Hamlet made a fuss for a while.

The crooked neck Bob was so nervous that Mrs. Morson knocked on the door and told him that the lord was going to his mushroom shed. He thought there was something wrong with his own mushrooms and the lord was going to hold him accountable. As a serf, he was responsible for farming for the lord. If he did not grow well, he would be whipped.

"Bob, don't be nervous. The master is kind. This is not a mistake you made intentionally. He will not punish you easily."

"Mrs. Morson, is this true? You must help me beg the lord for mercy. Please, please!" Bob was still nervous.

At this time, Liszt was already in the mushroom shed at his home.

Thomas followed closely, holding a torch.

"Sir, what are you looking for?"

"I have found what I am looking for." The pupils of Liszt's eyes rotated like whirlpools, and starlight flickered as if in the deep and boundless universe. In the field of vision, there were light red traces of Magic Power on several rotten logs where mushrooms were grown, outlining the shapes of mushrooms.

Magic Eye dispersed, and by the light of the fire, he saw the thing that scattered Magic Power, which was a red mushroom.

It looks a bit like red mushrooms, dotted among the large shiitake mushrooms. It can be clearly seen that the surrounding shiitake mushrooms have become somewhat wilted, but this red mushroom is the only one that looks very juicy and bright.

"It is indeed a magic mushroom." Liszt wanted to laugh out loud, because the Magic Power of this mushroom appears red, which is the color that Magic Power with the fire attribute can have. "I am the fire attribute fighting spirit, and this red mushroom is a great tonic for me!"

Sky Knight is basically a medicine jar. Without a large amount of magic medicine and supplements, it is difficult to rely on your own body to reach a higher realm of fighting spirit.

"Thomas, ask Mrs. Morson to bring Bob over."

When Bob stood in front of him uneasily, he smiled and said, "Are you Bob? Don't be nervous."

Bob was so frightened that he knelt down and kept kowtowing. "Lord, I, I made a mistake, I ruined the mushroom ingredients, I... please forgive me, Lord!"

"Bob, please get up. Not only will I not punish you, I will also reward you."
