Walking on the main road of the Thorns Ridge.
Liszt was still very satisfied. When he first came here, this road made him panic, and he was constantly worried that World of Warcraft would suddenly appear. Now that he had a wide field of vision, he wasn't the slightest bit worried about World of Warcraft's invasion. The original dirt road had also taken on a brand new look, turning into a gravel road, although it was still bumpy.
Markus was riding the already pregnant yellow-grey horse, half a body's length behind Liszt's Blackdragon.
He was fully armed and fearless of the weather, which had already begun to heat up. He was not only a tutor who taught Liszt Knight lessons, but also a Knight who was ordered by the count to protect Liszt. In some countries, such a Knight was called Chief Knight, but the grand duchy did not implement this system.
Behind Liszt and Markus was Carl Hammerstein, the town's defense officer.
He didn't need to come, but he still volunteered to protect Liszt. Perhaps he just wanted to take this opportunity to go to Coral City to see the scenery, as well as to show his loyalty?
Next to Carl were Philip Wool and Xavier Oxdung. These two young retainer Knight were quite talented and were the first in the squad to cultivate qi.
Behind them was Röhm Winesong, who had also successfully cultivated qi the day before yesterday. As one of the first four retainers to serve as Liszt's retainers, Röhm worked hard and finally made progress. Liszt immediately appointed him as the patrol captain to assist Carl in managing the patrol.
Unfortunately, the other two of the four retainers, Gray Sickle and Auden Shoe Shop, still hadn't cultivated their qi.
Markus had given up on teaching them. Their talent was too poor, and they had missed their teenage years, so there was no hope. Liszt had them serve as official assistants, one to assist the legal officer, Blair, and the other to assist the financial officer, Isaiah.
To his own people, Liszt was still sentimental and gave them a good status.
At the end of the team were four young Knight Knights. They were second only to Philip and Xavier in the Knight Squad. They were also transferred to Liszt's side as retainer Knight. As for the other members of the Knight squad, they were still diligently training in the small town.
There was also his valet, Thomas.
The entire team consisted of eleven people and eleven horses. The hooves of the horses galloped, stirring up waves of sand and dust.
As there were many pregnant mares in the team, they did not move too fast. However, they still arrived at the Tulip Castle surrounded by a sea of Tulip Flowers at around 10: 30 am
"Oh, my dear brother, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Levis was wearing a festive costume with a noble smile on his face.
He opened his arms wide and welcomed Liszt.
It was a very warm welcoming etiquette.
Liszt dismounted from the horse and also opened his arms wide to hug Levis: "Dear brother, happy birthday."
"Thank you for your blessing."
Liszt waved to Thomas and the retainer Knight behind him: "Bring the gifts I prepared."
The gifts were presented and handed to Silva, the deputy steward behind Levis.
"What is it? It's a very big bag. It seems you spent a lot." Levis let the valet open it. According to the custom here, gifts had to be opened in person.
The gifts in the bag were beautifully wrapped.
First, there were coconuts the size of large bowls, wrapped in strips of cloth. They looked very classy, and the faint fragrance of coconut milk hit their nostrils.
"This is the Fragrant Coconut. The coconut milk inside is very fragrant and sweet. Open it and have a sip. Then, you will know how sweet and delicious it is." Liszt said exaggeratedly. In fact, it was only slightly better than the ordinary coconut milk on Earth.
However, the fruit that could be drunk directly was unique.
Sure enough, Levis became curious: "Coconut milk? Is this fruit filled with milk? "
"Yes."
"It's amazing. I can't wait to taste it." Levis turned to look at the other side of the bag. It was all wrapped in small bags. "What are these?"
"It's seafood."
"Seafood?"
"Brother, don't think that they are ordinary. These seafood are the most precious seafood that fishermen catch. Especially the older oysters … "Saying this, Liszt moved closer to Levis's ear." It can let you not sleep at night and let you do what you want to do. "
Levis's eyes lit up: "Really? This is too precious. Thank you, Liszt, my dear brother. This is the best birthday gift I received."
He was not married yet, but who said that unmarried nobles could not have a bunch of mistresses?
After receiving the gifts, the two brothers walked into the castle side by side.
The hall of the castle was already crowded with nobles, big and small.
Apart from the two viscounts who sent their sons, the other Baron and Lord- Knight were present in person. After all, Levis was the heir of Coral Island, the future Earl Of Coral Island, and the next lord they would follow.
"It's very lively."
Liszt had to put on a standard aristocratic smile and greet the aristocrats who came to the birthday party. He did not like this kind of masked communication. However, as a member of the aristocracy, such occasions were indispensable if he wanted to maintain the dignity of an aristocrat.
After a round of greetings.
He was going to pay a visit to the count.
But after asking Levis, he learned that the count had already left Coral Island: "The Grand Duke's messenger brought an order. All the direct feudal lords will go to Blue Dragon Island to discuss this year's development order. In fact, I am already training Orders of Chivalry, ready to follow my father to the continent at any time. "
The development order was the most popular order of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
The order was very simple. It was to respond to the call of the King of Iron and Steel Ridge to go to the continent and plunder wealth, especially mines – gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, and all kinds of gems were the targets of contention.
The Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom were enemies, and both countries had slaughtered each other's dragons. Therefore, a large-scale war broke out almost every year to plunder each other's mines. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire was a vassal state of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom. It was not strong, but it was very threatening to harass by sea.
In the past, the count had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom, seized an iron mine in one fell swoop, and plundered at least 200,000 tons of iron ore.
It was said that at that time, the ships pulling iron ore were densely packed, like ants moving house.
Such a heavy loss, the King of the Eagle Kingdom was furious and sent a Dragon Knight to intercept the fleet, but was blocked by the Dragon Knight of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom. It was also in that battle that Marquis Merlin Longtaro, the captain of the palace fleet, saw the potential of Leewilliam and married his daughter Melissa to him.
Liszt had heard this story since he was a child – every time at a banquet, the nobles would recall the past, and they would always mention this story to flatter the count.
Unfortunately, since that battle, the Eagle Kingdom had paid more attention to the protection of the coastline, and there was no chance to achieve such a brilliant record.
Every year, a batch of Knight's blood was sacrificed, but only a small amount of metal and gem mines could be exchanged.
"Brother, are you also going to the battlefield?" Liszt was a little surprised.
"Yes, I am already 23 years old. Although I am not married yet, I am old enough. If I don't go to the battlefield, it will be a stain on my record."
Liszt shook his head and pretended to be regretful. "I don't have a qualified Knight team, and I don't even have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. I really want to fight side by side with my brother and win the glory of the Knight."
In fact, he did not want to go to the battlefield.
