"My dear, the date of Lord Father's conferment has been set. It will be on the fifteenth of this month. Haha, our Tulip family is about to become a Duke family."
After ending the magic communication, Levis immediately went to his wife's room. He said excitedly to the pregnant Rolia Golden Wheat, "This is really delightful news. From Sapphire to Flame Island, the Tulip family is finally going to enter a glorious moment!"
Rolia gently rubbed her belly. Although she was also smiling, she wasn't as excited as Levis, "Isn't this already clear? Ever since Liszt promised to bestow Tulip Island to Lord Father, the title of Duke was already clear."
"Even if that's the case, I won't feel at ease if I don't wait for it!"
"There's nothing to feel at ease about, Levis. You don't have to care too much about the details of the title, land, wealth, and so on. In the Fire Kingdom, you just need to follow Liszt closely. You are his elder brother. The deep bond between you two brothers is far more secure than any noble title. "
"Don't worry, Lord Father is here." Levis didn't care at all.
Rolia frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, "The Tulip family will be handed over to you one day. You can't alienate Liszt."
Levis was speechless, "You always worry about these useless things."
Rolia said seriously, "Richard is already four years old. Levis, I have a decision."
"What is it?"
"When the twins are born, I plan to ask Lord Father to send Richard to the Palace of Stars and Sun. Firstly, he can accompany Lord Father. Lord Father is the Prime Minister of the Outer Pavilion. He will be staying in the Fire Kingdom more than in Tulip Castle. Secondly, he can receive training as a Knight of the Burning Legion as soon as possible. "
"Is there a need for this, Rolia? Richard is only four years old. When I was four, I was still peeing and playing with mud in the castle's garden."
"Yes!"
Rolia insisted. She announced this decision at the castle's banquet that night.
After all, Madam Marie was not Levis's biological mother and did not express her opinion.
Madam Penélope agreed, "Rolia's decision is correct. Although I am reluctant to let little Richard leave Tulip Castle, he can always shine on Liszt's glory in the Palace of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Little Richard is very lucky to have a Dragon Knight as an uncle. "
"Grandmother, it's just the basic training of a Knight. Do you think that I, his father, can't teach him? No matter what, I'm a Sky Knight."
"How can a Sky Knight be compared to a Dragon Knight? Levis, you're already 30 years old, but you're still an ordinary Sky Knight. Don't you have any idea?" Madam Penélope glanced at Levis. She used to be most satisfied with this eldest grandson, but now, she only had eyes for Liszt.
"Cough cough!"
Levis coughed awkwardly.
He really wanted to say that a 30-year-old Sky Knight was not a bad performance. However, his grandmother made an example of a legendary Dragon Knight like Liszt, who was as dazzling as the sun. This made him speechless — all the young geniuses in the northeast corner of the legendary continent lived in Liszt's shadow.
Basically, Liszt was an existence that subverted everyone's perception.
Seeing this, Rolia smiled and said, "Let's ask Father's opinion when we reach the Fire King's City. Four-year-old Richard already has the ability to live without his parents." Although she said she wanted to ask William's opinion, everyone knew that Rolia had already made up her mind.
Levis shrugged his shoulders.
In fact, he understood Rolia's thoughts and knew that this would help Richard. He just felt that Richard was too young at the age of four.
However, when he turned his head and glanced at his son, who was sitting upright like an adult, he inexplicably felt that this might not be a bad thing. Rolia's discipline towards Richard was too strict. She basically did not allow him to play like a normal child. She had instilled aristocratic etiquette and the way to govern from the age of two.
This kind of childhood was scary just thinking about it.
Thus, he spoke with the tone of the heir of the Tulip family and said in an unquestionable tone, "I will bring Richard to inspect the construction of the manors in the next two days. You guys stay in the castle and pack your luggage. We will set off for the Fire King's City in three days."
…
It had not been long since the founding of the kingdom, and everything was busy.
In the midst of the busy time, Liszt unexpectedly received a new letter from the magic platform. It was sent by the six mermaids that were traveling around the sea.
"Your Majesty, we have already started our return journey from the westernmost part of the legendary continent. The data of the coastline calculated by the sextant has already been packaged and sent back to the Guild of Magic … Apologies to you, there has been a delay in the year-long journey around the sea. However, although we did not find any mermaids, we have captured many sea elves, including two Great Elves."
The magic platform's message was very long. It had already been recorded on a piece of paper by the communication arcanist.
Liszt continued reading, "We have discovered a few ruins of the Sea Kingdom. Unfortunately, it has been a long time, and the Naga and Clown Fish have long disappeared … In the westernmost part of the legendary continent, we have also encountered a legendary sea monster, the Hydra. Unfortunately, it was too strong, and we were unable to capture it."
The mermaids reported what they had seen and heard in the past year of traveling around the sea in the form of essays.
There was not much useful information. It was just the discovery of the Hydra, the Hydra, and the location of the coastline by the sextant, as well as the fact that the elves were worthy of attention.
"Reply to the mermaids. End the voyage as soon as possible and send the elves back." After reading the message, Liszt ordered, "By the way, send over the results of the kingdom's enfeoffment of Duke Burubosi and the other six marquises." He could not criticize the mermaids to hurry back to work, but he still had to warn them about their attitude.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The arcanist in charge of the communication immediately bowed and left.
After settling the urgent affairs at hand, Liszt quickly arrived at the Mage Tower. He had come to inquire about the progress of the coastline survey of the legendary continent.
"Chris, you have received the location of the sextant sent by the mermaids. Has the map been drawn?"
"Your Majesty, the rough sketch has been drawn." Chris gestured to the arcanist in charge of the mapping, who spread a map on the table.
The map was huge, but it only had an incomplete outline and a small part of it had detailed records.
"So this is the legendary continent …" Liszt looked at the map. The coastline that had been drawn on the map outlined the legendary continent as an irregular shape. There was a large part of the northern part of the continent that did not have a coastline, because that was a place that the mermaids had not traveled to.
However, the outline of the legendary continent had been drawn, and the geographical location and area of the three kingdoms in the northeast corner of the continent could be clearly compared.
"The area of the three kingdoms added together is only equivalent to one-twentieth of the total area of the legendary continent. It is indeed an inconspicuous corner … The Flame Islands are here, the Sapphire Islands are here … And from the looks of it, the Eagle Kingdom is completely surrounded by the Steel Ridge, the Furnace Castle, and the Yellowstone Plain."
"As long as these three kingdoms are cleared, it will be easy to nibble away at it!"
Looking at the large blank area of the map, Liszt was already imagining how to conquer it. Sooner or later, his strength would not allow him to keep a low profile. Conquering the legendary continent gradually moved from the level of fantasy to the level of practical planning.
