Chapter 697: Chapter 0694: Unique (Third Update, Celebrating 10,000 Coins Reward)
This chapter is a bonus update from “Tang Xi Tian Yin” for clearing the reward tier.
————
“Task completed, reward: one each of Hemp Rope Vine Elf Bug, Human Skull Elf Bug, Giant Algae Elf Bug, Sea Lotus Elf Bug, Green Tea Elf Bug, and Corn Elf Bug.”
Having spent a day completing his training, Liszt also finished inspecting Dodo Island and found two pregnant Elf Bugs, one of which was a Hemp Rope Vine Elf Bug and the other a Human Skull Elf Bug, both close to hatching. He took out the packaged fertilizer from his Space Ring and carefully fertilized the two cordyceps.
The task consequently concluded.
It took two weeks in total; although it was a bit of a long ti, the harvest was bountiful: six Elf Bugs. It was a cause for celebration to harvest six Elf Bugs at the end of autumn and the onset of winter. Moreover, the bountiful gains clearly hadn’t ended yet, as the new Smoke Mission was again about Elves.
“Task: A fallen leaf gave Jela countless inspirations. She is a unique Little Minor Elf, struggling and breaking free from the shackles of fate. Though not quite perfect, she always manages to touch your heart. It’s love and impatience that let her keep growing. Please let her understand her own uniqueness. Reward: Mutated Thorn Variety.”
“Easy points!”
Liszt approached the task with ease. Through the heart-to-heart connection of the Elf contract, he could easily make Jela feel that way.
And in his mind, Jela indeed was unique.
This could be seen from the na of Thorn Castle: “Just in ti, Thorn Castle is almost finished, with only so room decorations remaining. I can already move into Thorn Castle… Let Jela be the first to move into the new Worm Room of Thorn Castle, to enjoy a spacious and bright private room.”
Returned to Black Horse Island.
After confirming with Jomaya Bangtu that Thorn Castle was habitable and wouldn’t be disturbed by the remaining construction, Liszt quickly began the relocation. As the landlord, he had no need to worry about the moving process; Goltai took charge of organizing manpower, bustling between Fresh Flower Town and Black Horse Island.
Leaving so basic living supplies in the Naless Castle of Fresh Flower Town, most of the materials were continuously transported to Thorn Castle.
Liszt stood in front of the grand entrance of Thorn Castle with his hands behind his back, and to say he wasn’t thrilled would be a lie, given that this would be his new ho for the coming years.
The main body of Thorn Castle could be divided into the main building, the left guard tower, and the right guard tower, all connected, but with intervals between each floor that could be blocked by heavy doors at any ti. The castle rose five stories high, each floor six ters, topped by a ten-ter watchtower, totalling forty ters high.
The guard towers on both wings were six stories and thirty ters tall, with a five-ter-tall water tower on the left guard tower and a five-ter-tall middle building on the right.
Below ground level, there was a first basent floor, and under the main building’s basent, there was a second basent.
Thus,
Thorn Castle could be considered nine stories tall, each floor with a specific use planned.
Seventh Floor: Only the upper half of the main building’s watchtower was dedicated to vigilance.
Sixth Floor: The lower half of the main building’s watchtower for storing guard materials; the left guard tower’s water tower; the right guard tower’s bell tower; as well as a small garden of Lithops on the rooftop and a simple observatory with long telescopes.
Fifth Floor: The experint lab for Ach on the main building and left guard tower; Liszt’s indoor training room on the right guard tower.
Fourth Floor: Bedrooms, bathrooms, study, and toilet, and other master living rooms for Liszt and Ach on the main building; Worm Rooms on both the left and right guard towers.
Third Floor: Guest rooms, bathrooms, toilets, and other guest living quarters on the main building, left guard tower, and right guard tower.
Second Floor: The main building houses a dining room and living room; the left guard tower contains an entertainnt room; the right guard tower has eting and duty rooms and other administrative spaces.
First Floor: Lobby, exhibition room in the main building; kitchen, boiler room, and other servant workspaces in the left guard tower; servant quarters in the right guard tower.
Basent Floor: Storage rooms in the main building, left guard tower, and right guard tower.
Basent Level Two—comprising only the main building’s underwater worm room, the Rose Swimming Pool, and the underwater passage, which directly connects to the Tonghai Canal in front of Thorn Castle.
Jela stood on Liszt’s shoulder, curiously observing the tall white castle in front of her.
She let out a aningless cry, “Uwa.”
“Jela, this castle is our new ho, and it’s called Thorn Castle,” Liszt said, turning his head to speak to Jela on his shoulder, “from today on, you and I will live here. Do you understand?”
“Uwa!” Jela expressed her excitent.
“You are the first Little Minor Elf to move into Thorn Castle. The entire castle is even nad after you. Do you know that, Jela, you are a unique sprite in my eyes?”
Jela was even more thrilled, “Uwa!”
“Co on, I’ll take you to the worm room to see your new ho.”
“Uwa!”
Although the castle claid to have nine floors, it only had a main structure of five floors, and there wasn’t any elevator. Climbing the broad staircase made it easy to reach the fourth floor. The left and right wing guard towers on the fourth floor were divided into very small compartnts, each serving as a private worm room for a single Little Minor Elf.
The room with Jela’s naplate was right by the passage of the main building, the very first one.
“Go and enjoy your new ho,” said Liszt as he opened the door to the compartnt, and Jela imdiately rushed in, fluttering about the room haphazardly.
The compartnt, about twenty-five square ters, was quite spacious. Aside from a Jade Box, there were many small toys, mostly wooden carvings that could be thrown around or smashed, designed to relieve the Little Minor Elves’ boredom. True to form, Jela brazenly grabbed a wooden carved Elf Bug and casually threw it to the floor.
“Uwa!”
She excitedly darted around, showing satisfaction with her new ho.
When she grew tired of playing, Jela returned to Liszt’s shoulder, and he once again declared affectionately, “Jela, do you like your new ho? I live right next door to you… Rember this, my favorite Little Minor Elf is you because you are a unique sprite!”
“Uwa!”
“Good, make sure to rember that firmly.”
“Uwa!”
After settling the overexcited Jela, Liszt called forth the Smoke Mission and discovered that the task had changed without notice, “Complete the mission, reward Auxiliary Magic dicine of a mutated Thorn variant.”
“Auxiliary dicine quality?”
Imdiately, Liszt thought of the most important Magic Potion in his territory—the Dragon Kui Auxiliary dicine. The Dragon Kui Auxiliary dicine had almost no effect when taken alone, but when combined with other Magic Potions, it could multiply their effects significantly. Its value was imasurable, even though the only drawback was its sowhat low production.
Because there were only two Dragon Kui Bugs.
“I didn’t expect the Thorn to mutate into an Auxiliary dicine quality Magic Potion, good, very good!” Liszt understood the value of Auxiliary dicine—it was essentially doubling the effect of the territory’s Magic Potions. With the Thorn output Jela could influence, planting most of it as Thorn Auxiliary dicine would be enough for all the Magic Potions in the territory to be used in combination.
When the ti ca,
Liszt could be more generous with taking potions, and his training with Leo would progress even more swiftly—the digestive power of Leo was such that he could probably handle eating Magic Potions by the ton.
“Haha, truly worthy of being my unique sprite, Jela, this achievent is all thanks to you!”
“Uwa!”
