History doesn't exist. Only some Knight novels can be used to speculate on the local customs and social development of the past.
This was Liszt's understanding of this.
He also didn't know the origin of humans in this world.
What was certain was that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had been founded for 150 years. Last year, a grand anniversary celebration was held, which left an impression on Liszt.
There were many novels about the Knight of the Sapphire Family in China. Some novels recorded that the Sapphire Family had a heritage of 1,000 years.
As for the Tulip family, there was no such thing as a genealogy. What Liszt knew was his great-great-grandfather, the father of his grandfather's grandfather. At that time, the family didn't have a Greater Tulip Sprite, nor a Lesser Tulip Sprite. Therefore, there was no Tulip surname.
Their original surname was "Tile", indicating that their family was originally of the common class. According to the family history passed down from father to son, the great-great-grandfather was born with divine strength. He followed an aristocrat and served the newly founded Sapphire Family. He made meritorious service in the war and was conferred the title of Lord Knight.
Since then, the family had risen to the ranks of the aristocracy.
The great-great-grandfather's generation became a Baron, the great-great-grandfather's generation became a Viscount, and the great-great-grandfather's generation obtained a Tulip Sprite.
After Leewilliam inherited the title, the Sprite evolved into a Greater Sprite, and the family's surname was changed to Tulip. A few years later, Leewilliam became a Sky Knight. Because of his outstanding military service, he was conferred the title of Earl Earl Of Coral Island by the Sapphire Grand Duke.
In order to show that the family had risen to the ranks of the upper aristocracy, the Serpentine "Li" in Leewilliam's name became the beginning of the name of the descendants. Each descendant would be called "Li XX" or "Li X", or "Li XXX", "Li XXXX" … As for how many "X" s they could have, it depended on the mood of the celebrity.
According to Liszt's understanding, the word "Li" was probably equivalent to the word "Shi" outside of the "surname".
Therefore, the Tulip family only had a history of six generations, spanning a time of about 150 years.
If one went further up, they would not know who their ancestors were.
"First ancestor, distant ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor, founding ancestor.
In his hometown, his family's genealogy could be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.
As for their bloodline, it could be traced all the way back to the era of the Yellow Emperor.
"Also, these Knight novels that boast about the Sapphire Family are all nonsense. The family's thousand-year inheritance has all kinds of strange origins. Some say that they originated from the southern part of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, some say that they migrated from the Blast Furnace Kingdom, and some say that they drifted here from the distant Blue Dragon Empire … If the Sapphire Family is boasting behind these novels, then they are too careless. "
He wanted to sort out the general history of this world, but he felt that there was no hope. Among the Knight novels that he had read, the farthest recorded history was a novel called "The Dull Knight and the Red Tailed Fire Dragon".
The story of this novel took place in the Unsetting Radiance Empire ten thousand years ago. However, Liszt had verified that the Unsetting Radiance Empire was founded no more than three thousand years ago.
The Unsetting Radiance Empire was also the country with the longest reign on the continent.
Many countries were established with the friendship of dragons, but they would decline because of the death or departure of the dragon. Even the destruction of the country was normal due to the dragon's slaying war.
At the beginning of the founding of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, a dragon slaying war took place.
At that time, the Sapphire Dragon was almost killed by the invaders of the Eagle Kingdom, and was unable to establish a foothold on the vast continent. During the escape, the dragon's blood dyed a mountain range blue. Countless sapphires were produced in the mountain range, and it became an important mineral mountain range of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom – Blue Blood Mountain.
Although the dragon did not die, the Sapphire Grand Duke I was seriously injured and had to withdraw from the continent, fleeing to the distant island to establish a country.
Of course, this part of history was inferred by Liszt.
In the Knight novel that praised the Sapphire Family, the origin of Blue Blood Mountain was that the Sapphire Dragon had bitten the hostile White Iron Dragon of the Eagle Kingdom, and its blood dyed the mountain range.
As for why the blood of the White Iron Dragon would create a mountain range that could be mined for sapphires, this … Different people have different opinions.
It was enough to fool ordinary people, there was no need to explain it so clearly.
… …
Knock knock knock. There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Liszt raised his head from a book called "Guide to the Development of Fire-Attributed Qi".
The one who came in was the castle's deputy butler, Silva, who was in his early forties. He was Louis' deputy and the appointed successor of the family's butler.
"Young Master Liszt, your grandmother, Madam Penélope, has arrived. She is in the reception room, accompanied by Young Master Levis and Miss Li Weiwei."
"Is Grandmother here? I'll go over."
Liszt rubbed his forehead, feeling a little annoyed. His grandmother did not like him.
His father's disgust was more of his disappointment in him. Now that he had returned, his temperament had changed, and the count no longer showed disgust. Obviously, he was happy with this change. But his grandmother was different. She did not like Liszt because Liszt reminded her of Melissa, her daughter-in-law.
Penélope lived in a small castle in Coral City, and the reason why she did not live with her son was because of Melissa. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along.
Liszt, who was very much like his mother, became Penélope's punching bag.
But no matter how annoyed he was, he still had to go downstairs to greet her.
"Grandmother, you have come. I am very relieved to see you in good health."
"Oh, look, look, who is here!" The wrinkles on Penélope's face were already very thick. She was almost sixty years old. "Liszt, if you didn't speak, I would have thought that Melissa had come to oppose me again. That beautiful face … Thank God, she has already gone to Heaven to enjoy her life. Only then would an old woman like me dare to visit my son's castle."
Without any expression on his face, Liszt sat down quietly without saying a word.
The old lady did not like him, so why should he invite a snub? Anyway, they did not meet often, so it was fine to just treat them as strangers and maintain a superficial respect.
Li Weiwei smiled and said, "Liszt, when Grandmother heard that you were back, she immediately rushed to the castle. Usually, at this time, she would pray for the family for a few hours."
Penélope turned her head away from Liszt and whispered, "I did not come here just to see him."
Was this what it meant to be dishonorable?
Liszt thought that Madam Penélope probably doted on her grandson. It was just that she habitually attacked Liszt, who looked like Melissa. It was a habit of more than ten years. In fact, whether it was love or dislike, it did not matter. Liszt just wanted to be a quiet, handsome man.
"According to your sister, the Flower Town looks more simple and crude than I imagined, just like a small village?" Madam Penélope asked.
"It is indeed a bit simple and crude, but it is more suitable for development. I already have a plan to develop the Flower Town."
"Look, look, this majestic tone is a bit like our Tulip family. Don't always imitate Melissa, who is neither impatient nor impatient, as if she was born to be superior to others. They already look alike enough, but if their temperaments are similar, it would really kill this old woman. It would be like a haze that I cannot shake off. "
Liszt did not respond.
He did not have much of an impression of his mother, who died of illness when he was very young.
