Report

After spending a week recuperating from the wild fruit poisoning and trying to adapt to his identity after crossing over, Liszt often felt that it was inconceivable.

He, who died while working overtime, was actually reborn as an aristocrat.

And an aristocrat from a different world.

This different world was somewhat similar to medieval Europe, where castles and Knights dominated everything on the earth. However, it was a magical and magical world. There were actually dragons and elves, knights who could cultivate their Qi, and there were also mysterious magicians. Even Liszt himself had cultivated the [Basic Qi] and became a Trainee Knight.

"Beginner qi."

The qi in his body flowed ceaselessly. Following his will, it flowed between his hands. Suddenly, he felt his palms heat up, and a powerful force filled them.

That slight tingling swelling made him feel as if he could tear tigers and leopards apart.

Knight could rule the boundless earth by relying on this qi, which represented power.

Qi cultivation.

Those who had mastered beginner qi were "Trainee Knight", and those who had mastered intermediate qi were "Earth Knight".

Liszt's father, the hereditary "Earl Of Coral Island", Lee William Tulip, was an Earth Knight who had mastered intermediate qi. On his territory, which was equivalent to a prefecture-level city, he had absolute power over life and death. He only needed to swear allegiance to the Sapphire Grand Duke.

Unfortunately.

As the third son of the Earl, he did not inherit the Tulip family's qi talent. Even though he was already an adult at the age of 16, he was still just a Trainee Knight.

His brother, Levis Tulip, became an Earth Knight at the age of 13. He was now an elite among Earth Knights, and could challenge three Earth Knights.

His sister, Li Weiwei Tulip, also became an Earth Knight before reaching adulthood.

There was also a half-brother, Lytton Tulip, who was 12 years old this year and was said to be about to be promoted to an Earth Knight.

Liszt inherited more of his appearance from his mother, the late countess. He had light golden curly short hair, eyes that were as deep as sapphires, regular facial features, fair skin, and a tall figure. He was born with the air of a noble. However, his aptitude was too weak.

Perhaps it was because he looked too much like his mother that the Count once had great expectations for him.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

When he grew up, his father was completely disappointed in him and even showed disgust.

His elder brother, Levis, was temporarily conferred the title of a lifetime viscount and was destined to inherit the title of a hereditary earl. His sister, Li Weiwei, was also conferred the title of Baron of Falcon Town, which was a rare occurrence. She became a "hereditary dame" of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire with a fief, instead of a lifetime knight with no fief.

As for Liszt, just like his sister, he was conferred the title of Baron of Flower Town, which was the most remote town of Coral Island.

Levis, who had a temperament like his mother, was always soft and weak. He was bullied by his brother and sister, and after he grew up, his interaction with the Count became increasingly less, to the point that he would rather live in the Knight Academy than go home.

"Fortunately, he was a good-for-nothing that no one paid attention to. If I replace him, no one will notice … Moreover, I will have my own fief, hereditary title, and control the power of life and death in the territory. How wonderful." Liszt had already overcome the initial panic and was working hard to integrate into this world.

He also had to integrate and live like a native.

Because in this world, transmigrators did not have many advantages – magic and qi surpassed science.

So much so that after he understood some of the situation, he felt more and more that he had to be low-key – the metal mineral deposits came entirely from dragons, and the flourishing of plants was inseparable from sprites!

No dragons, no sprites.

To want to farm, to want to have an industrial revolution, it was simply a fantasy!

However, dragons and sprites were rare essences in the world. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire had only one dragon – the Sapphire Grand Duke's mount of three hundred years ago, the sapphire dragon. The entire Sapphire Family was established on this dragon.

It was said that a dragon could live for as long as a thousand years. In other words, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire still had seven hundred years of national luck to enjoy.

There were more sprites than dragons, but there was a clear hierarchy.

Liszt's father, Lee William Tulip, had a 'Tulip greater sprite', which helped the family plant a large number of Tulip. As a result, the family was established, and even the family name was changed to 'Tulip'. Greater sprites could live for two hundred years. The Tulip family, barring any accidents, could still enjoy more than one hundred and fifty years of prosperity.

Below greater sprites were lesser sprites, which could live for a hundred years.

The Tulip family had twelve lesser sprites, which helped the family cultivate a variety of plants.

Below lesser sprites were sprite worms, which were a kind of sprite born from plants. They had a lifespan of ten years and could influence the growth of plants. If there was a chance within ten years, they could evolve into lesser sprites. As for the sprite worm itself, it was only by chance that one would be born from a plant.

The Tulip family had cultivated Coral Island for more than twenty years and had harvested more than one hundred sprite worms. Counting those that had died, there were only more than one hundred and fifty sprite worms. Among them, only twelve had evolved into lesser sprites.

"Sprites … Unfortunately, my predecessor really disgusted the Count. Even Li Weiwei got a lesser sprite, while I only have four sprite worms!"

At Liszt's coming of age ceremony, the Earl Of Coral Island announced that he was conferred the title of Baron of Flower Town and gifted him four sprite worms.

That was all.

"Master, it's time for dinner. Do you want to eat now?" The butler, Carter, knocked on the door and came in, bowing slightly.

"It's time for dinner. Alright, go and invite the two teachers over to eat together." Liszt ungracefully stretched his waist. During this period of recuperation, he had been bored to death.

After a while, the two teachers came together.

The blond and swallow-tailed teacher was the family teacher, Gort. He was already forty-five years old and was a down-and-out Lord Knight. He was attached to the Tulip family and was mainly responsible for Liszt's education. Of course, his main job was to help Liszt manage the entire Flower Town as an administrative officer of Flower Town.

"Liszt, your complexion looks much better. Thank God, I can see you running healthy and lively again." Gort said playfully, very casually.

The other teacher, with a serious expression and meticulous movements, was Liszt's Knight teacher, Markus.

His strength was already at the Earth Knight rank, but he had not yet obtained an aristocratic title. For several generations, his family had been retainer Knight of the Tulip family. Finally, an Earth Knight had appeared in his generation.

Liszt smiled slightly: "The two teachers have arrived. Mr. Carter, please serve the meal."

"As you wish, Master." The old butler, Carter, gracefully left the living room and went downstairs to inform the kitchen to deliver the meal.

"Teacher Markus, my body has almost recovered. I hope to continue my Knight cultivation class starting tomorrow." Liszt said.

Markus's square face was expressionless: "Alright."

Upon seeing this, Liszt smiled slightly. He knew that the Earth Knight had grievances. He hoped to perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield, earn the title of Chevalier Knight, enter the upper class, and become a member of the aristocracy. However, he was transferred to serve as Liszt's Knight teacher and was trapped in the backwater of Flower Town.

In the Tulip family, Liszt was famous for being a waste. In other words, following Liszt, the chances of becoming an aristocrat were almost non-existent.

Soon, the old butler, along with the servingmen and the maids, brought the dishes.

There was not much food. The quality of life in Flower Town was very low and the output was not much. Liszt was a son who was not favored by the count. The supplies he brought were not abundant and could not support a luxurious life.

Liszt ate very seriously.

Transmigration was a technical job. Becoming an aristocrat was already very lucky. In this world, apart from the aristocrats, most civilians were just two-legged sheep at the mercy of others.
