The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

```

The clothing in this world clearly wasn't as advanced as in the era of Earth, According to the different materials used in making clothes, they are divided into ordinary clothing and magic equipment.

Magic equipment was obviously something only noble knights could afford, like the red-faced, black-bottomed, gold-trimmed cloak of Li Si Te, which was magic equipment. There was also his Six-Headed King Sea Serpent Armor and various other pieces of magic equipment crafted from magical beast materials that could serve as either clothing or equipment.

As for ordinary clothing, the top tier was naturally fur—fur garments made of precious pelts, such as mink and fox, which were exclusive to nobles.

Besides, normal nobles generally wore woolen clothes, which is fabric woven from wool; to keep warm, they usually wore down clothes, such as goose or duck down.

Commoners mostly wore linen and cotton garments.

No one had seen silkworm raising, so naturally, there was no product like silk. However, upon seeing the fabric woven from the Green Caterpillar's fur, Li Si Te immediately thought of silk.

Light, transparent, smooth to the touch—it felt like a layer of gauze.

Although the Green Caterpillar's woven fabric wasn't as comfortable as genuine silk, it was still a superior silk textile. Moreover, after a thorough washing, the color improved significantly, no longer a shiny oily green, but only a faint misty green.

"This is a very good textile, let's call it silk," Li Si Te decided to use a knockoff once again to inhabit the name of the genuine article—of course, this world didn't have silk, so it was no big deal to call the Green Caterpillar's woven fabric silk. A name was just a code, convenient for him to differentiate and remember.

"Yes, my lord."

"Have the textile workshop hurriedly make a few sets of silk clothes for me, summer is obviously a good time to wear silk."

The Green Caterpillars bred very quickly, and the Green-headed Ducks and Flamingos ate them, consuming only the flesh and not the fur. So every time they fed in the Mangrove Forest, they would collect a pile of fur left over by the ducks and birds. Transported to the textile workshop, a large amount of silk was woven.

This would undoubtedly be a special product.

Nobles were believed to have a strong interest in this kind of lightweight, cool, and breathable cloth.

You have to know that even in the heat of summer, nobles have to dress neatly in their Flack·Abbieye, complete with a Ruff collar that envelops the entire neck, for social gatherings. If clothes were made from silk, the comfort would be at least tripled—perhaps the high nobles had ways to keep cool, but the lesser nobles would surely go crazy for silk.

Li Si Te calculated in his mind, "The price of Green Caterpillar silk should be set higher than down clothing... To meet the demands of more nobles, I should have Nami put more effort into scattering several more patches of Mangrove Forest along the coast of Black Horse Island to feed the Green Caterpillars... It would be best if the Green Caterpillars could be bred artificially."

Like silkworm raising, the efficiency of artificially raising Green Caterpillars should significantly increase.

Then, the Green Caterpillars would only need to eat, drink, sleep, and once they matured, they would be thrown to the Green-headed Ducks and Flamingos to eat, and the leftover fur would be collected for recycling.

"I'll follow this routine; I'll have Gao Ertai arrange for someone to implement it later..." Just as he thought this, he suddenly paused; the shortage of serfs on his land was huge.

Breeding Green Caterpillars would obviously require a large number of serfs, which seemed unfeasible at present.

They would have to wait until after the issuance of the Pioneer Mandate when the lands could welcome a leap in development.

Speaking of the Pioneer Mandate.

Before long, Li Si Te received a message from the knights of Tulip Castle—the Earl had invited him to a family feast at Tulip Castle because the Earl had received a court summons and was about to head to Blue Dragon Island to gather at the Azure Sky Peak Palace for the court assembly. This year's assembly was scheduled much earlier than usual.

Thus, on the same day, Li Si Te mounted his Landwalker Bird Loki and headed quickly towards Tulip Castle.

Loki's speed was becoming faster and its stamina had greatly increased; it was still growing. However, much to Li Si Te's disappointment, it still hadn't learned a third spell. For an Intermediate Dragon Breed Magical Beast, knowing only two spells was indeed below its status—probably the power of the Bloodline Fruit was insufficient.

Rendering it a half-baked Intermediate Dragon Beast.

...

"Li Si Te, you arrived so quickly," his brother Levis greeted at the doorway.

Letting the servant take away the Landwalker Bird, Li Si Te replied, "With the Landwalker Bird Loki, it takes only forty minutes to come from Fresh Flower Town."

"Once you advance to a Sky Knight, brother, you'll have it all. You must be close, aren't you?" Liszt walked side by side with Levis into the castle, asking.

A restrained smile appeared on Levis's face: "Indeed, it's close. I've already touched the bottleneck of restraint, but I'm still brewing a breakthrough. Your 'Earth Notes' have been a huge help to my cultivation. I have to admit, in terms of intuitive understanding of Dou Qi cultivation, you are astonishing."

"Glad I could help."

Just as they sat down in the living room, Loria, who was pregnant, personally brought him a cup of pure milk tea—everyone at Tulip Castle knew Liszt's taste; he preferred either green tea or milk tea without minced meat, eggs, or other ingredients.

With a smile, she said, "Father and Lady Marie are handling this quarter's taxes in Coral City, they should be back soon. Grandmother and Li Vera have sent someone to invite you, and Levis can chat for now. Lidun is also in the castle, I'll call him over too."

Liszt took the milk tea: "Thank you, but with your pregnancy, you should let the servants handle these things. The child in your belly is most important."

Levis added from the side: "It's only because you're here that Loria would do these things; others don't get such a privilege."

Turning to Loria with a gentle expression: "You should rest soon so you don't tire yourself; Liszt won't care for such conventional acts. Sit down and let's chat together. No need to call Lidun. He's just a child, what could he possibly contribute to our conversation?"

After Loria sat down, she still instructed the butler: "Mr. Silva, please bother to call Lidun."

Liszt quietly savored his milk tea.

He had no interest whatsoever in the intrigues of daily life at Tulip Castle.

After the butler had left to summon Lidun, Liszt seemingly remembered something and said: "By the way, my territory has lately produced a very special type of fabric, and I've brought a batch to give to you for making clothes."

A servant quickly brought in a bolt of green silk.

And handed it to Loria to examine.

Being a woman who had studied sewing at Bull Horn Academy, Loria naturally knew the quality of fabrics. After feeling it for a moment, her eyes lit up: "Smooth, lightweight, breathable, and very comfortable to the touch, plus the fabric has a beautiful sheen, shimmering with a faint green hue!"

The personal servant Thomas explained on her behalf: "This is called silk, young mistress."

"Silk... Liszt, how valuable is this fabric?" Loria keenly asked, having sensed the commercial value of green silk.

"I think it won't be cheaper than high-quality down. However, I haven't set a specific price yet since production capacity in my territory isn't high enough, and we can't mass-produce silk at the moment. I've just brought some to have summer clothes made for you."

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Not for the time being. Let's talk once the production of green silk stabilizes."

"Okay then." Loria was not disappointed, still saying joyfully, "The silk feels really comfortable. This summer, we won't have to wear those stifling full-length dresses anymore."

Levis also admired the silk, touching it as he exclaimed: "I'm going to use it to tailor-make several sets of Flack Abaie for myself. Woolen Flack Abaie in summer is a disaster, and those damned ugly Ruffs, it's like having a hot water bottle around your neck!"

In the midst of idle chatter.

Lidun quickly arrived and greeted Liszt obediently: "Brother Liszt, you've arrived."

Liszt responded with a grunt, "Hmm," and then used his Eye of Magic to gauge the other's level of Dou Qi—it was fairly dense. Lady Marie must have stacked resources for him over these past few months.

But that was only a glance.

He didn't care beyond that.

As a Dragon Knight, Liszt didn't even consider a Completion Level Sky Knight worthy of his attention, let alone a mere Earth Knight. Within the whole Duchy of Sapphire, the only one he regarded was the Sapphire Duke—Andrew Sapphire—who was not known to be a Dragon Knight or a Dragon Domain LandLord.
