The majestic group of people trampled on the puddles on horseback.
The retainer Knight and valet surrounded Liszt, while Gort, Markus, and other officials followed closely behind. Compared to the previous time when there were only two or three people, the current ostentatious scene was very imposing.
In fact, there was no need for so many people to follow in the fief.
However, Liszt still did it. He liked this kind of aristocratic behavior. Compared to the count and even his brother Levis, who had a Knight squad following them when they went out, his team was not big enough and had to work hard to develop.
It would be best if he could also bring Dosen and Blessedcurls.
With the yellow on the left and the blue on the right.
"Sir, the roads of the Flower Town are better than those of the Coral City." Isaiah exclaimed in admiration, "Every time it rains in the Coral City, it feels like a city of excrement. The excrement floating on the streets is disgusting. Here, there is no excrement, not even silt. "
The main road was a gravel road, which basically had no silt.
The road between the settlements was a sea sand road, which would have silt, but not much.
Gort laughed and complimented in a timely manner: "Without Sir's wisdom, there would not be such a wonderful environment as the Flower Town. Before, I couldn't understand the benefits of building roads, but little by little, they were revealed to me. I hope that in the future, every road will be built as a gravel road. "
Liszt smiled.
He didn't show any complacent expression. This was nothing. Later on, when he made cement, there would be more surprises.
The sky had yet to completely clear up, and there was still a drizzle. He was wearing a wide black cloak and riding a pure black Blackdragon. At first glance, he looked very gloomy. Were it not for his handsome face and the few strands of light blonde hair on his forehead, adding to his liveliness.
He could probably impersonate the Ringwraith of the 《Lord of the Rings》.
After a while, the group had arrived at the barley settlement. The woman who died of illness was a serf of the barley settlement.
The corpse was still placed in the house. According to the funeral custom of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, after death, people were buried directly in the ground. However, it had been raining heavily for the past few days, so there was no way to bury the corpses.
Of the woman's three children, two were already adults. Under the leadership of their dull father, they knelt on the ground to welcome Liszt's arrival.
Naturally, the retainer would explain the purpose of the visit.
Liszt only needed to walk to the corpse and examine it. Markus and Gort checked the corpse first, but they didn't find anything wrong with it.
Then, Liszt personally inspected it.
This was his first time facing a dead person. He was a little nervous, but he controlled himself well and did not show any emotion. Observing with the naked eye, he did not see anything wrong with the corpse, but when he cast Magic Eyes, he found that there was nothing wrong with it.
There was a flash of black magic on the corpse.
When he took a closer look, the black magic disappeared again. Liszt chose to believe his eyes. He observed quietly, and about a minute later, another wisp of black magic flickered in the corpse and disappeared.
"Sir, did you observe anything?" Markus asked.
"There is something wrong with the corpse. I felt signs of magic on the corpse. She did not die of a normal disease, but was infected with something dirty."
Gort was surprised: "Is there really something dirty? What could it be? If it was infected from the shipwreck, could it be a ghost? Legend has it that there are ghost ships on the sea. The shipwreck we found is not a ghost ship, right? "
"Yes or no, we will know after checking it … By the way, how do you think we should deal with this corpse?"
"To be on the safe side, we should burn it."
There was no concept of "the dead is the most important" here, and there was no such thing as ancestor worship. After people died, they were basically simply buried, especially civilians.
When they died, they would roll up a straw mat, dig a deep pit and bury them, and then there would be nothing else to do.
Even some civilians were not willing to dig a pit at all, and it was possible to directly throw the bodies of their relatives into the mountains or into the water. Therefore, when Gort proposed to burn the corpse, the wooden husband of the dead woman did not have any objection. On the contrary, he was somewhat excited.
Because Liszt had Gort give him ten silver coins as compensation.
The dirty things brought by the shipwreck caused the death of the woman. In the final analysis, it was Liszt himself who did not allow others to dispose of the shipwreck.
Although he was the lord and would not be punished.
Ten silver coins was also a comfort to his conscience.
After a moment.
A fire.
The corpse was burned to ashes in the flames.
Looking at the residue after burning and finding no traces of black magic, Liszt breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that even dirty things could be burned clean by fire.
After disposing of the corpse.
The group quickly rushed to the oyster settlement and arrived near the shipwreck.
Before Liszt could approach, Markus stopped him: "Sir, the shipwreck is dangerous, you should avoid it. Leave it to us to inspect."
Gort replied righteously, "That's right, my lord. You shouldn't put yourself in danger. Mr. Markus is an elite Earth Knight, he will definitely be able to deal with the shipwreck. "While speaking, he stood beside Liszt, without the slightest intention of approaching the shipwreck.
The shipwreck seemed to have been washed away by the heavy rain. The seaweed and other attachments on its surface had been washed away, revealing mottled wooden planks and rusted metal frames. It was not a large ship, much smaller than the Flower. Moreover, it was seriously damaged, and the cabin could basically be seen from the outside.
Markus led the Knight squad to surround the shipwreck and was about to enter the cabin for inspection.
Liszt suddenly said: "Teacher Markus, there is no need to waste so much effort. There is definitely something wrong with the shipwreck. Just smash it, dismantle it, and inspect it piece by piece to avoid any accidents."
He did not intend to keep a shipwreck with dirty things as a tourist attraction.
Therefore, violent dismantling was the safest and fastest way.
Markus naturally would not refuse. He immediately took people to split the shipwreck, dismantled the wooden planks and iron frames, and piled them on the beach.
During this process, Liszt had been intermittently casting Magic Eyes.
Just as the two retainer Knight carried a broken piece of dragon bone, Liszt suddenly saw black magic flickering at the fracture of the dragon bone.
Magic power usually had a color.
For example, fire magic was mostly red, and water magic was mostly blue, especially when it manifested as qi. But it was not absolute. Some magic showed a variety of mixed attributes and would have a variety of strange colors. Some magic showed no attributes and would also have a variety of colors.
Even Archmages, who had studied magic to a profound realm, could not unravel the essence and mystery of magic.
What did black magic represent?
Liszt did not understand.
But he knew that he had probably found the cause of the shipwreck's problem: "Teacher Markus, carefully examine this dragon bone, I feel traces of magic."
After Liszt's reminder, Markus quickly picked up the dragon bone, touched it with both hands, and carefully observed and felt it. After a moment, Markus's eyes bloomed as he also felt magic: "Sir, there really is a problem, I feel a cold magic!"
