The last two boxes did not contain books.

What surprised Liszt was that a box of jade was packed with a variety of crystals: "Jade, crystal, the value of these two boxes will never be lower than the value of Mithril!"

He picked up a milky white jade.

The regret of the disappearance of books is somewhat diluted.

Jade, crystal, can be regarded as the type of gem. But the source of the two is completely different. The jade originates from the earth. Like the saltpeter and sulfur, it is the ore naturally generated by the earth. The crystal is derived from the dragon. It is the associated ore of the dragon producing the gem.

The dragon can produce gems, which have extraordinary magic.

But gemstones are rare, more are the crystal mines associated with the gemstones, citrine around the gemstones, and red crystals around the rubies.

Crystal also contains magic, but the magic of crystal is rare compared to gems.

The nobility likes to use the crystal to sculpt the drinking cup. In the castle of Liszt, there is a set of crystal goblets for entertaining guests. Crystal is also commonly used in the manufacture of magic lamps, which can be brightened day and night until the magic contained in it is consumed. There are crystal lamps in the castles with names.

Crystal is also a great accessory for noble ladies, a crystal necklace that adds a lot of elegance to the ladies.

The jade from the earth, also known as the magic jade, is also a magic stone, but its magical power has been highly integrated with the jade itself, it is difficult to develop and use, can not make magic items.

But jade is the best food for the elves.

During the transplant of Cordyceps, the elves have to rely on jade to maintain their lives; when they are contracted, they have to use jade as a bait; and using jade to make containers for the elves to live will increase the elf's evolutionary probability.

Therefore, the value of jade is not cheaper than crystal.

Open the gem space.

Putting a box of jade and a box of crystals into it, Liszt swayed and yelled at the housekeeper: "Mr. Carter, the treasures in the box I have already collected, and most of them have been damaged for a long time, leaving only a little residue. You let people move them away and throw them away."

The box of the book he looked through carefully, the books were all rotten, and there was no identifiable handwriting left.

This is a drawback of thick paper, which cannot be stored for too long. Liszt feels that there is no historical record in the different worlds, and certainly has a certain relationship with the thick paper. During the production process, the thick paper will undergo an “acidification” process, so that the paper can be smoothly written.

But the acidity is prone to chemical reactions and is difficult to preserve for too long.

He understands this.

"Despite the regrets, overall, this time the ship's treasure, let me make a windfall, very good!" Liszt thought.

The mood is gradually getting more comfortable.

So at the dinner he let the kitchen hold a barbecue meeting.

Gao Ertai, Marcus and others all came to participate. They also know that Liszt’s harvest today is rich, but the reason is not to ask, what is the treasure.

......

For three days.

Liszt is paying attention to the situation of Solanum nigrum.

The transplanted wild Solanum nigrum L. has adapted to the new soil environment, and began to rejuvenate, the green leaves are shaking, the flowering continues to bloom, and the result continues. The Solanum nigrum, which breeds only the Elven worm, is always in a state of dying, and the magic is intermittent, and it feels like it will die at any time.

However, it did not die, so it was so dry.

There is no change in the smoke mission, which means the mission is not completed.

"The magic of black pearls should be sufficient. I can see the underside of the soil. There are signs of magical emission... I can't make more effort. Dragon and sunflower bugs can survive and see your own desire for survival." ”

This smoke mission can only wait - waiting for the death of the dragon, the failure of the mission, or the survival of the dragon and the task.

Liszt stood up.

Looking towards the castle, a yellow-gray horse is racing towards the castle.

"It is Marcus back." He rode the dragon horse and returned to the castle, just hitting Marcus standing at the gate. "Mr. Marcus, is this trip going smoothly?"

"Everything goes well, adults. Tomorrow, Crystal Craftsman Brad will follow the transportation team of the Flower Caravan and come to the Flower Town to serve you for a month."

"Working hard Marcus teacher."

Liszt nodded. After he got a lot of crystals, he came up with the idea of ​​making a telescope. Glass is the most suitable for making telescopes, but the glass is more complicated. Liszt is temporarily incapable of producing glass. He can only use crystals to make glasses.

Transparent white crystals, smooth surfaces, and a pair of telescopes are still very simple.

Coral City has craftsmen who specialize in making crystal ornaments. Perhaps these craftsmen can't make crystals into crystal lamps, but it is absolutely impossible to polish them.

"Does the two lenses of the telescope come with a concave lens or a convex lens?" Some physics knowledge, Liszt has forgotten. Just remember that the monocular is composed of two lenses, which are elongated and shortened, and the distances that can be seen are different. Hiring a crystal craftsman for a month, you should be able to create a good telescope.

Crystal craftsman Brad.

Arrived as scheduled on the second day.

He is a bald middle-aged man with two big beards and his voice screaming: "The respected Baron of the Flower Town, Brad will say hello to you."

"Brad, know what I am hiring for your purpose?"

“Mr. Marcus said that you want to create a few pieces of crystal for you.”

"Yes, help me in a batch of mirrors." Liszt handed him a few pieces of white crystal, white crystal is the associated mine of white gems. As for the gemstones that are produced by the dragon, Liszt does not know about it - there are many information about the dragon, but most of them are unknown.

Those countries that have dragons always hide the mysterious secrets of the dragon god.

"Is this white crystal? I can feel the magic of it." Brad is a freelance craftsman and a trainee knight. He has vindictiveness - the craftsman who creates gems and crystals must have vindictiveness.

Liszt shook a piece of thick paper: "I need you to make these pieces of white crystal into such a mirror, the surface should be very smooth, and the thickness should be the same, not thick and thick, the shape should be kept round. The size of the mirror Available in two sizes, but thicknesses can vary."

The structure of the convex lens and the concave lens is drawn on the paper.

It is unclear what kind of focal length convex and concave lens is suitable for combination into a telescope. Liszt simply lets the crystal craftsman create more pieces, and then combine the experiments one by one.

"As you wish, the Baron is an adult."

"Then you will stay in the town of flowers. If you can grind these mirrors in advance, you can leave early, and the salary is still a gold coin."

Crystal craftsmen are relatively high-end craftsmen, usually earning very good income. It is normal to earn twenty or thirty silver coins a month. Liszt wants to hire them to work and must pay a higher salary.

In the following time, Brad began to carefully grind the lenticular lens.
