"Complete the task, reward: a pearl-producing shell."

"Task: The Mage Tower is about to be completed, and the Magic Academy is also about to start enrolling students. Chris Truth is ready, but the Magician Assistant needed has still not arrived, and it is Lord Landlord’s duty to resolve this. Reward: Drifting Fruit."

Rewards distributed, new tasks issued.

Liszt looked at the changing smoke, pondering, "A pearl-producing shell, is it similar to the Pearl Oysters bred by the Sapphire Family? I wonder how powerful such sea monsters are, and the quality of the pearls they produce... It’s indeed time to find a Magician Assistant, but what exactly is this Drifting Fruit?"

He guessed it was some kind of edible fruit that drifted along the ocean currents.

But whether it was edible or not was still unknown.

He should go about the task now. In fact, he had previously sent someone to convey a message to Elkeson True in hopes of hiring him as a teacher for the Magic Academy. However, Elkeson had already discovered the charm of being a second-hand dealer and had no desire to engage in research or teaching, preferring a carefree life.

Although he settled in Coral City, he frequently visited the outer islands, experiencing different local customs and doing business with various people.

Of course, Liszt was always his top-quality customer. To make money, he had to come to Fresh Flower Town—the magic casting schemes were becoming increasingly difficult to continue with, there weren’t so many spells, and now he mainly dealt in selling Magic Books. He had even recently written to Liszt, asking to visit the Steel Ridge Kingdom.

He had made contact with a magic assembly there and could purchase more Magic Books.

Elkeson True was unwilling to come, and Grandini True was rather obstinate. Before, there was also Merlese True, who had passed away.

Besides that, there were the cooperating magicians of the Tulip Family, but Liszt certainly couldn’t recruit them.

"Still, it’s best to contact Granney. Despite his stubborn and conceited nature, this guy has a formidable talent for crafting Magic Equipment. With Chris, a Grand Magician, as bait, he shouldn’t refuse. Then recruit two more magicians from other territories, and that should be enough to support the Magic Academy."

He immediately dispatched Retainer Knights to contact Granney and wrote to Levis to ask for his help in recruiting two magicians from the outer islands.

Having taken care of these matters,

time quietly moved to April 14th, the Greater Elf Birth Celebration was about to begin.

Apart from a few supervising officers who remained on Black Horse Island, other officials and knights had already gathered in Fresh Flower Town. The castle’s servants, under Butler Carter’s leadership, were busily and orderly arranging the banquet. The castle had hosted numerous banquets over the past years and had accumulated a great deal of experience.

So, everything was proceeding in an organized fashion.

Although the townspeople didn’t get a day off, everyone received double wages today, sharing the joy with Lord Landlord.

In the apple orchard in front of the castle, Douson and the Earth Matron were coiled up together, lazily basking in the sun. Eight Blizzard Beasts were locked in four cages, not allowed to come out—their destructive power was too strong, and without Liszt’s constraint, they would be a disaster if released.

In front of Liszt, they were the well-trained Blizzard Beast Squad.

Once Liszt left, they became unafraid of anything, troublemakers, and the servants simply couldn’t stop them. There was even one time they blocked the main road of Fresh Flower Town with Rock Spikes, taking serfs days to clear and restore traffic—nowadays, they’ve sequentially learned a new spell—Rock Grenade.

As for the other two spells Douson knew, Rock Wall and Firmstone Armor, they hadn’t learned yet, and it was uncertain whether they could still learn them.

Their aptitude seemed to be much inferior to Douson’s.

If Douson was an Intermediate Magical Beast of average level, they were Intermediate Magical Beasts of inferior level, probably because half of their lineage came from the Earth Matron—a Low-Level Magical Beast Fierce Earth Dog.

In a more distant meadow, hardly any horses were being raised anymore; the horses that were originally bred by the castle had all been transferred to Black Horse Ranch.

Only the horses for the merchants and riding were still grazing on the meadow.

One-Eyed Barton, the blind and lame coachman, was still diligently caring for these horses, occasionally boasting to the five horsemen behind him, "I’ve been to Black Horse Ranch, where I helped deliver many of the majestic Black Blood Treasured Horses; even Goltai asked me to teach at the Knight Academy!"

Then he would sing praises of Liszt: "Lord Landlord is kind and magnificent; he has given Old Barton a wonderful life... His greatness shines like the Sun, illuminating every corner of the land, even the Greater Elk in the sea submit to him, ah, what a great Lord Landlord!"

With a lyrical tone, One-Eyed Barton was pleased with his own words.

And the Lord Landlord, great as the Sun he spoke of,

was at that moment in the Sea View Villa.

```

After several days of rushing the work, the Sea View Villa had undergone a great transformation. What was originally a two-story building had expanded into a row of three-story buildings, towering above the seawater.

All was constructed during low tide.

Rubber Bug’s rubber water could solidify in just a few minutes, it was simply a divine artifact in the construction industry.

Rock was in inexhaustible supply, as the Blizzard Beast Squad produced large quantities of rock each day, and now some of the wealthier commoners in Fresh Flower Town had begun to purchase rock to build their houses.

Stone houses replaced wooden ones, offering fire resistance, sound insulation, and considerable sturdiness.

However, rubber water was not for sale to the public; they could only use ordinary grass ash and mud to cement the stones. For a considerable length of time, the rubber production from the Rubber Trees would not be able to meet the needs of the territory’s infrastructure development—even if Liszt had the Rubber Bug triplets use the Tri-Phase Force to restore the Rubber Trees every month.

"Lord, the construction of the seaside castle is complete, you can allow the elves to move in now," Isaiah came over and reported.

Liszt nodded.

He took out a whistle from his pocket—this whistle was his latest invention. Of course, he only had the idea, and he left everything else to the carpenters of the woodworking workshop to figure out. After constant exploration, they eventually designed a whistle that could produce a very loud sound.

This was a cylindrical whistle, not the kind that looked like a snail.

He put it in his mouth and blew.

Instantly, the piercing sound cut through the sea surface, and a few dozen seconds later, a huge fish with rainbow colors swam in through the artificial channel all the way to the beach.

It was the Rainbow Whale Rose, and she had already learned to understand the whistle.

Liszt mounted her and, under the watchful gaze of numerous officials and serfs, dove into the sea. Many who saw Liszt ride the Rainbow Whale for the first time issued a chorus of amazed exclamations. But their amazement didn’t last long as Liszt already emerged from the sea on the Rainbow Whale’s back.

He rode directly to the seaside Castle with the officials hurrying into the seaside Castle.

Then, they saw Liszt with one large and three small elves lying on his body, and holding an Elf Bug in his hand, dismounted from the back of the Rainbow Whale. He walked up the steps from the sea, placing the elves into different small rooms—one by one. Elves are quite marvelous, they actually spend most of their time sleeping.

Even if they have personalities, these will be gradually smoothed out under the contract, and ultimately they cannot resist their master’s commands.

Liszt ordered them to stay in their respective rooms and used Jade to build beds, which was enough to settle them down. Each room had one side installed with glass for viewing, ensuring that the elves’ condition was always normal. The officials stood in front of the glass, pointing and gesturing at the elves.

"That’s the Giant Algae Greater Elf Pike!"

"Indeed, it’s exceptionally beautiful!"

"I’ve seen the Greater Elf Xiangxiang at Tulip Castle, Pike is just as beautiful as it."

"Its teeth... have a bit of character."

"So many elves, all nurtured by the Giant Algae, amazing!"

"Praise be to the Lord, praise the Giant Algae!"

"Pike is the embodiment of Knight Glory, only the Lord Landlord can be graced by it!"

In the midst of praise, Liszt had already taken a shower in the next room and changed into a sharp Flack·Abaie suit. Just then, Retainer Knights hurried over to report to him, "Lord, the carriages from Tulip Castle have entered the main road of Thorn Ridge and are about to reach the Castle."

"Direct them straight to the seaside Castle; I will wait for them here."

"Yes, Lord!"

Twenty minutes later, the procession of carriages slowly drove through Oyster Village along the main road, with Lady Penelope, the Earl and his wife, the Levis couple, Li Vera, Lidun, and others alighting one by one.

"Grandmother, father, Lady Marie, Levis, Loria, Li Vera, Lidun... welcome to the birth celebration of the Greater Elf Pike."

"Oh, Liszt, my lucky lad, your grandmother can hardly wait to see the Greater Elf Pike!"

Liszt smiled, assisted Lady Penelope, and said to everyone, "Then please follow me. Pike, Fizz, Tam, and Eddie are all here."
