The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1009: Everything is Ready Chapter 1012: Chapter 1009: Everything is Ready Oats, barley, apples, tomatoes, peas, White Crystal Chrysanthemum, ice grass—Piero Grey Iron paid with seven Greater Elves, of which only the White Crystal Chrysanthemum Greater Elf could plant Magic Potions.

Rockwood, tobacco, tea trees, barley, millet—Pilaf the Earth Frenzy paid with five Greater Elves, none were of the Magic Potion variety, but they all just barely counted as grain types.

Suddenly, with twelve more Greater Elves, the number under Liszt’s command had doubled. It had to be said that only as of today did he barely manage to build a bit of the foundation befitting a Dragon Rearing Family—at least in terms of the number of Greater Elves, not much behind an average Grand Duchy’s Dragon Rearing Family.

In this world of knightly systems, the Nobles might rule, but they were strictly divided into hierarchies.

The common Honored Knights lived comfortably just by looking after an Elf Bug; a Baron may have a few Elf Bugs, cultivating a small town; a Viscount owned a Minor Elf, managing a small city; an Earl had a Greater Elf, operating a large city and several smaller ones; the number of Greater Elves a Marquis had varied.

For Marquis Pilof of Boulder from an Ancient Warrior Family or Marquis Nuta with Dimaria Yuhua Stone who were Domain Knights, both had a dozen or more Greater Elves.

Even the former Marquis of Bull had a Dragon Elf.

And for Grand Ducal families like Piero Grey Iron, having over twenty Greater Elves was standard, and there should be two or three Dragon Elves as well. If it was a Grand Ducal family like the Red and White Rose Family, the number of Greater Elves might reach forty or fifty.
