The surnames of great nobles were always very elegant.
They were both marquis clans, but the Taro family's surname was "Long Taro". Compared to the Golden Wheatear Clan's surname was "Golden Wheatear", there was a difference in grade.
This was also a display of their foundation.
A few decades ago, the Golden Wheat Family's surname was still Golden Wheat.
This was a very powerful family. The reason why their surname wasn't 'Barley' or 'Wheat' was because their family not only had the Wheat Great Sprite, but also the Barley Great Sprite. Before the Grand Duchy of Sapphire was established, the Golden Wheat Family had already relied on grain sales to rise to power.
Later, they followed the Sapphire Family and established a country, becoming the first marquis family in the grand duchy.
But just like the Small Kerchief Clan and the Big Kerchief Clan, the Golden Wheat Clan had also experienced a split several decades ago.
The branch that had the Wheat Sprite was conferred the title of Earl due to their military exploits, and they changed their surname to "Golden Wheat Grains". The branch that possessed the Great Barley Sprite inherited the title and changed their surname to "Golden Barley".
Every time the family name changes.
It meant the development of the clan, the improvement of the bloodline, and the change of status.
"If one day, I can also nurture a Great Tulip Sprite and rely on my military achievements to be conferred the title of Earl. Then, according to the habits of the nobles, perhaps the Tulip family will change their name to 'Red Tulip', and I will change my name to 'Black Tulip' … Liszt Black Tulip? "
Sometimes, Liszt would indulge in idle fantasies.
"Then, my dear brother, I wish you all the best." After finding out the name of the marquis' daughter, Liszt smiled and gave his blessings.
"I will succeed. Unlike cousin Meopal, Loria and I have been corresponding for half a year, and I know she has already noticed me. What I need to do now is to beat the other competitors with an excellent performance. Cousin Meopal, it's purely unrequited love. The princess … has many guests. "
As Levis spoke, he did not forget to make fun of Meopal.
How should she put it? Her cousin's character, appearance, and family background were all impeccable, but he fell in love with a dissolute princess.
Liszt had a good impression of Meopal, so he didn't go along with Levis's teasing: "Right, Brother, the black pearls I sold you last time, did you forge them into magic equipment?"
"It's a success. The Magician carved a special magic rune on it, and then it became a special item that can silence the wind."
"Silence the wind?"
"The water magic in the black pearl can suppress the flow of wind, especially wind magic. I saw with my own eyes that the wind blade released by the magician dissipate when it was five meters away from the black pearl. Although it is a little big, it can be used to defend against sneak attacks from Wind Dou Qi. "
He looked at Liszt and continued, "Especially for a Knight like Markus who has the Wind Combat Aura. He likes to practice archery the most. He wants to use his Combat Aura to control his bow and arrows to complete a fatal sneak attack. Now, I don't need to be nervous when I meet an elite among the Wind Qi Earth Knight. "
"It seems that the black pearl is very useful. I always feel that I sold it cheaply."
"280 gold coins is not a small amount. It can only silence the wind, nothing more. If it could silence all magic, then it would be really valuable." Levis moved closer, "Do you still have any black pearls? As far as I know, a pearl oyster can take out several pearls, and a giant clam should be the same. You must have some black pearls in your hands."
Liszt didn't answer and asked back: "It can silence the wind up to five meters?"
"Yes."
Such an ability made Liszt's mind become active.
He sold Levis a bowl-sized black pearl that could cover an area with a radius of five meters and silence all wind. If it was replaced with two basketball-sized black pearls, how big of an area could it silence? If it was replaced with a washbasin-sized black pearl, how big of an area could it silence?
I'm afraid it would have a radius of tens to hundreds of meters.
Such an ability might only be used on the battlefield to avoid sneak attacks from Wind Qi.
But if it was used on the sea, think about it. If the Flower was equipped with a washbasin-sized black pearl that could silence the wind around the entire ship, it would be equivalent to not suffering from storms at all. Then, sailing on the sea would not be like walking on flat ground. Even if the waves could not be calmed, the wind would still be silenced, and the threat would be greatly reduced.
In an instant, he made a decision: "The washbasin-sized and basketball-sized black pearl must not be sold. This is a necessity to arm my own fleet in the future!"
So he replied in a casual tone: "Of course, I still have one. I originally intended to keep it as a collection. Black pearls are not a rare treasure that can be obtained easily."
"Sell me another one."
"You want another one?"
"Yes, I intend to make it into a new magic equipment and then give it to Roliya … What do you think, isn't it very thoughtful and sincere?"
Liszt said casually: "Women usually have no resistance to jewelry. I think it's a good idea. How many gold coins are you going to pay for it? I still have a black pearl of the same size as the one I sold you, as well as a few smaller black pearls. "
"280 gold coins."
This was the price of the previous black pearl, and Levis shouted the same price.
"Silencing all wind, with such an effect, 280 gold coins can't be bought." Liszt said unhurriedly. Now it was the seller's market.
It was time to raise the price.
After a long talk.
In the end, Liszt sold another black pearl for 430 gold coins.
"Liszt, your heart is black, just like those merchants."
"It doesn't matter whether my heart is black or not. What matters is that you can let Roliya see your red heart, isn't it?"
… …
At the luncheon, the Count made an announcement about the expansion order.
Then he began to call for followers to follow him into battle. This was nothing new. Every year or two, an expansion order would be issued.
Therefore, in one afternoon, all his followers were called.

"Rest for three days. After three days, all Knight are to gather in Coral City and set out for Golden Island by ship. We will act together with Marquis Roderick's Orders of Chivalry." The count, dressed in military attire and holding his sword, spoke in a powerful and resonant voice.
All the aristocrats participating in the war.
Covering their left chests with one hand, they performed a Knight salute: "Follow Sir!"
