The Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms in the northern part of the continent, is adjacent to the Blast Furnace Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom.
There are seven vassal states, the four grand duchies of Sapphire, Maple Leaf, Rose, and Brass, and the three duchies of Light Sapphire, Stars, and Honeysuckle. Strictly speaking, the two grand duchies of Sapphire and Rose should be reduced to duchies. There are only dragons in the country, no Dragon Knight.
"The Duke of Honeysuckle had to move three times a year because he couldn't stand the nobles urinating and defecating freely in the palace, which made him afraid to even walk. There was even a Knight who solved the problem on a stool in his study, but the Duke of Honeysuckle didn't know and sat on it.
"" In the end, how did the Duke of Honeysuckle punish the Knight? "
"He chose to defecate in the Knight's helmet."
"Haha, a very creative punishment!"
"Haha!"
The laughter of Liszt and Zambrotta came from the study. The two had been chatting for more than three hours. Zambrotta always had a little gossip that kept Liszt interested.
Especially the palace secrets.
It was estimated that Zambrotta heard stories made up by the small nobles during his travels, which was equivalent to unofficial history. When he traveled the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, he was just a quasi-noble and could not get in touch with the important people in the courts of various countries, even those small nobles at the lord level.
However, these unofficial histories were relatively more serious than the Knight novels.
At least the story was true and false, but the people in the story existed. The Knight novels were not only difficult to distinguish between true and false, but the people in the story were also fictitious.
When the butler Carter knocked on the door and asked about the dinner arrangements, Liszt recovered from the pleasant chat. "Invite all the officials of the town in the evening, and let us welcome the arrival of Mr. Zambrotta." He had decided to keep Zambrotta for his anecdotes.
There is no doubt that these anecdotes are of great reference significance for Liszt's compilation of the chronicles of the Dragon War in the Wild.
"Thank you for your generosity." Zambrotta bowed politely.
He already understood that he had won the favor of the recently famous Baron of Flower Town, and his goal of reviving Flower Town had been achieved. Ever since he was stripped of his noble title by the Count, his life had fallen into dire straits. Even his son and daughter had begun to despise him, which made him feel suffocated.
Right now, he was still a free citizen without a title, but once he followed Liszt, who could guarantee that he would not return to the noble class?
At the dinner that night, Liszt grandly introduced Zambrotta to the town officials.
Isaiah, Blair, and Markus all knew Zambrotta. After all, he was Lytton's tutor and often went in and out of Tulip Castle. There would be no problem with his knowledge and ability. The problem was his attitude. The count was furious because he allowed Lytton to beat civilians.
However, this was not a matter of principle. It was normal for nobles to beat up commoners.
Not all nobles were like Liszt, who hid the concept of equality in the depths of their hearts. For the people of this world, it was normal to divide people into different classes.
Therefore, everyone still held a welcoming attitude towards Zambrotta. Of course, it was hard to say whether Isaiah and Blair had a sense of crisis in their hearts.
After the dinner, Liszt pulled Zambrotta and talked for nearly an hour.
He reluctantly let him go. Of course, Liszt was still clear-headed. He said to him: "I already know why you came. Regarding your position in the Flower Town, don't worry. I have received news that my father will return before the New Year. I will arrange your work after the New Year. "
Zambrotta nodded, understanding Liszt's subtext. "I will listen to your arrangements, Lord Baron."
"You can go home and wait for the news, or you can stay in Flower Town. When you have time, you can continue to talk about interesting things in various countries. I am very interested in this information."
"My wife has died and my children have married. I will not go back. If possible, I intend to stay in Flower Town first."
"I will let Gort arrange your accommodation."
… …
The Count came back a few days faster than Liszt expected.
On December 20th, he returned to Coral Island with Orders of Chivalry. Ships of materials were piled up at the dock, all of which were spoils of war.
Of course, when he went, there were complete Orders of Chivalry, but when he came back, there were fewer Knights.
He had probably stayed in the Eagle Kingdom forever.
After the Knight of Tulip Castle came to Flower Town to report, Liszt planned to leave for Tulip Castle the next day to participate in the celebration banquet held by Tulip Castle.
"Mr. Carter, the gifts you've brought for my father and brother must be as sumptuous as you can get them. I am going to the celebration banquet this time, hoping to get a little more from my father's spoils of war, especially iron. The lack of iron is driving me crazy! "
Although the bonesmith shop has opened, and the bonesmith Blake Boneshead's family has been making bone tools day and night, but iron is still an important resource.
The iron he used to make the heating water tank and the air conditioner cover was melted out of other ironware.
Nowadays, there are more and more things in Flower Town. Flower soap is a good gift; high-end seafood is a precious gift; exquisite bread, peanuts and other food are qualified gifts; Liszt also intends to give the Count and Levis a pair of binoculars.
The military value of binoculars is still great. He believes that the Count will definitely reward Liszt with a lot of good things when he sees the binoculars.
Originally, the binoculars were intended to be kept secret.
But as he continues to integrate into the aristocratic system, into the Tulip family, and enjoys the benefits of the family, his mentality has changed. Only by maintaining and strengthening the family can he better protect himself. Even if he personally goes to the battlefield in the future to make contributions and become a viscount of Black Horse Island.
The Tulip family will still be his strong backing.
If the Count can go a step further and become a Marquis by virtue of his military exploits, then his status will rise again. At that time, he will be the son of the Marquis and the grandson of the Marquis. As long as he goes to the battlefield, he will not have to worry about not being able to make contributions.
Therefore, at this moment, Liszt sincerely hopes that the Tulip family can develop and grow.
At least before he rides a dragon, the family can shelter him and let him develop steadily. He doesn't have to worry about his invention being robbed by the great aristocracy.
White paper, glass, cement, if it weren't for his concerns, he would have already started to study them.
This level of technology may not be able to create an era, but it can definitely make a family grow rapidly. However, it is not necessarily a good thing for a weak family to control it. It may end up being destroyed by pirates.
The tragedy of the Small Kerchief Island always reminded Liszt that the aristocracy also has risks.
Therefore, Liszt only made small troubles in the territory.
