They did not bear much resemblance to the corn kernels in his memory, but they were about the same size.

This bunch of fruit spikes weighed at least half a pound, and once mature, they would definitely yield a far greater harvest than wheat or millet. It was unknown how they tasted, whether they would be similar to corn cobs or other grains... And it was also uncertain whether they could be eaten like rice or ground into flour.

Not far from the grain mutant corn grass, Liszt saw the oil-rich variant of corn grass.

The fatty stems and leaves were mixed in with the regular corn grass and weren’t very conspicuous, but its fruit spikes were very noticeable. While the regular corn grass had thin and shriveled spikes, the spikes of this variant were unusually plump, with a tender green husk that seemed almost transparent, clearly indicating the abundance of oil within.

When he pinched it, indeed, oil came out onto his hand.

These were unripe fruit spikes; it was unknown what the oil content would be like once they matured.

"These are very valuable mutations," he said, appreciating the grain and oil-rich mutated corn grass, slowly diminishing his craving for corn cobs.

He then conveyed to Isaiah, "This kind of corn grass with grain on top will be called ’grain corn,’ and this kind that yields oil when pinched will be called ’oil corn.’ Take good care of them, and when they mature, we’ll research their utilitarian value and prepare for large-scale cultivation."

"Yes, sir."

After identifying grain corn and oil corn, Liszt used his Eye of Magic to circle the corn field, but he found no trace of magic.

He returned to the castle, where he enjoyed a sumptuous feast.

After dinner, he went to the Sea View Villa to chat with Ach for a while. During the week’s visit to Black Horse Island, he had met Ach by the sea twice, primarily to have her command Magic Mangrove Elves to aid in the stabilization and rooting of the Mangrove Forest at the Red River Mouth—the Little Minor Elves’ magic was quite strong.

Ach, now a Water System Grand Mage, was more cheerful and lively than when she was engrossed in studying magic before.

Upon blowing her horn, she swam quickly from the ocean, flinging back her deep blue hair as though a waterfall cascaded before his eyes, "Brother, Ach scared away a sea monster today!"

"What?"

"A sea monster, a really big conch that can create water whirlpools, it attacked Ach but couldn’t defeat me!"

A conch?

A sea monster?

Liszt’s inspiration bloomed on the spot, but he still chose to be cautious, "You weren’t hurt, were you?"

"I’m fine, Ach is a Water System Grand Mage now, and it’s just a low-level sea monster; it definitely couldn’t beat me. I made it hide in the rock crevices and not come out," Ach replied with a smile, quite pleased with having defeated a low-level sea monster.

Actually, with her current strength, she could now barely contend against a Dulu Miqita that had already turned into organic fertilizer.

Afterwards, Liszt began to inquire about the low-level sea monster conch.

According to Ach’s description, it was a large conch big enough to be the size of a basin, with a yellow-white shell, fond of crawling on the seabed rocks, capable of releasing Common Magic water whirlpools to catch small fish and shrimp—it turned out to be a carnivorous predator.

Combining this information, Liszt roughly understood that this was a conch capable of producing pink pearls.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Ach, can you capture it for me?"

"You want this big conch, brother?"

"Yes."

"Then Ach will go now and catch it, and bring it to brother... Oh yes, brother said that human knights need Magical Beast Meat to practice, so Ach will often look for sea monsters, catch them and bring the meat to brother, so brother can become a Sky Knight sooner!"

Such a considerate little sprite!

Liszt ruffled her deep blue hair vigorously, "Ach, you understand me!"

"Hehe, then I’ll go catch the giant conches."

"There’s no need to hurry, let’s catch them tomorrow. It’s already night, and the sea must be very dark now."

"Ach can see, and Ach swims very fast. Brother, you wait for Ach, Ach will be back soon. Hmm, let Nami keep you company," Ach said as she placed Nami on the table, then turned and left the Sea View Villa to catch the low-level Sea Monsters, the giant conches.

All Liszt could do was shake his head helplessly and then start playing with Nami.

He took out a candy wrapped in hemp leaves, unwrapped it, and held it out to the Little Minor Elf, "Peanut nougat, Fresh Flower Town’s new product, want to try?"

"Chirp," Nami cocked her head to look at the peanut nougat.

She then approached the nougat, sniffed its aroma, and wrapped her hands around it, taking a bite. Despite being just a palm-sized little thing, she had strong teeth and crisply bit off a chunk of nougat, chewing vigorously in her mouth.

Then she excitedly chirped, "Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

"Is it good?"

"Chirp!" Nami hugged the nougat and munched away happily.

Liszt watched the beautiful little creature and said softly, "Eat and drink well, but don’t forget to work for me. The Mangrove Forest in Mangrove Island is growing well, it no longer needs the influence of Cordyceps. Once the Mangrove Forest at the Red River Mouth grows, move the Cordyceps there to help me develop the Red River Mouth Mangrove Forest."

Without a contract, his communication with Nami was hindered.

So Nami didn’t understand a word he said. She just hugged the nougat and relished it, looking up at Liszt from time to time to call out, "Chirp."

After one nougat was finished, Liszt pulled out another.

Instead of immediately eating it, Nami rewrapped it with the hemp leaves and stashed the nougat in a drawer of the cabinet.

Then she flew up to Liszt’s shoulder and landed, beginning to groom Liszt— or what could also be called picking lice.

She meticulously combed through his hair, checking his scalp. She might have learned this trick while raising Green-headed Ducks, but unfortunately for her, Liszt washed his hair daily, so there was no dirt to be found.

"Such a gentle Little Minor Elf. Compared with Nami, Jela is simply a hooligan," he thought of Jela who liked to cry and shout.

He could not help but sigh.

Just at that moment, the sound of waves came from outside, and then he saw Ach swimming into the bottom floor of the Sea View Villa. She used Water to bind a huge conch, transporting it to the second floor: "Brother, Ach has stunned the giant conch, it can’t release Water Whirlpools anymore."

His eyes shining, Liszt took the giant conch and said, "Well done, my Ach."

"Hehe."

"It’s late, you should rest too. I’ll deal with this giant conch first."

"Okay."

Holding the giant conch, Liszt quickly returned to the Castle and began dissecting the giant conch on the open ground of the apple orchard. Taking advantage of its unconsciousness, he promptly pulled out the Sky-Cleaving Greatsword and channeled Dou Qi to kill it. Then he extracted the conch meat, which was only a small lump considering the basin-sized conch.

He carefully peeled, and soon found a hard object wrapped in a membrane.

Gently peeling off the outer membrane, he revealed a pink, oval-shaped pearl inside—the Pink Pearl.
