The city was not worth looking forward to, only the castle was worth looking forward to. Aristocrats still paid attention to hygiene. There were bathrooms, toilets, and servants to transport excrement and garbage out of the castle.
Because no one knew how to use excrement to fertilize the fields, they were randomly discarded in the wild and naturally weathered.
The effective use of excrement to fertilize the fields could definitely reduce the dependence on the elves – only reduce, because the elves also had the ability to improve the characteristics of crops.
The brig sailed on the blue sea. The Coral City had gradually disappeared from sight, and the towering Tulip Castle on the top of the mountain had also begun to fall from the sea level.
This seemed to prove that this world was also a sphere?
Liszt occasionally thought about the world he had transmigrated into. What was the situation like in the end, but there was no information to infer any conclusions.
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Markus came over.
"Looking at the sea, the blue sea, where countless treasures are hidden."
"I grew up by the sea, so I don't have such beautiful reveries about the sea. There are sea monsters in the sea, maybe some fish, but there are also fish in the rivers and lakes, which are not dangerous. The wealth of the continent is truly rich and inexhaustible. The glory of the Knight and the aristocracy is also contested on the continent. "
The Grand Duchy of Sapphire was an archipelago, but it never gave up the conquest of the continent. Every few years, it would organize Orders of Chivalry to go to the continent to compete for minerals.
It created a group of aristocrats.
The Tulip family also made their fortune here. Markus often dreamed of going to the continent to fight in the war, and being conferred the title of Lord Knight.
Now that he was determined to serve Liszt, he would naturally bewitch Liszt from time to time.
Liszt was still looking at the deep sea, not caring about the "wealth of the continent". The battlefield was so dangerous, why would he go?! It would be better to be a quiet country lord, do some tasks, farm, and take one step at a time steadily and surely. If it was just a simple transmigration, he didn't think he could stand out among the aborigines, but with the help of the smoke mission, becoming strong was just around the corner.
As for what the smoke mission was, one day its secrets would be unraveled.
"Teacher Markus, I heard that outside of the archipelago of the Grand Duchy, there are still large unexplored islands?"
"Yes, I've talked to some old sailors. There are still a lot of islands outside the archipelago, but those islands are deep in the sea and often have storms. There are also a lot of submerged reefs. It's difficult for ships to come and go, so there's no development value."
"Maybe."
Liszt could not deny it.
Putting everything else aside, as long as the distant fishing industry was developed, the wealth of the sea would be unveiled. At that time, the competition for islands would be no less than the competition for land.
He couldn't do it now. He was just the lord of a small town in the countryside, so he had to focus on development first.
"Raise the sails! Sail forward! "
"Raise the sails! Sail forward! "
The angry roars of the crew could be heard from below the mast. At this time, the south wind was blowing from the stern of the ship, making a flapping sound. The captain decisively ordered the sailors to raise the sails to get more wind.
The emergence of sailboats allowed humans to enter larger seas. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire's fleet was mostly sailboats, but they all had horizontal sails. There were no schooners. The advantage of horizontal sails was that they were fast when the wind was with them, but the disadvantage was that they had almost no effect when the wind was against them. They needed to row.
At this time, the wind was with them. The fleet raised their sails, forming a triangular formation on the sea. It was a spectacular sight.
They set off in the morning and arrived at Red Crab Island in the evening.
Red Crab Island was ten times the size of Coral Island. Longtaro Castle was not on the coast, but halfway up the mountain range in the middle of the island. Therefore, after getting off the ship, Liszt and the others had to stay in the dock city of Sea Crab City for one night, and then change to carriages. After traveling for one day, they would arrive at Longtaro Castle on the third day.
Pigeons had not yet been trained to send and receive letters, and the weight of thick bast paper was estimated to be too heavy for pigeons to carry.
However, because a Knight had been arranged to deliver a letter, saying that the Tulip family would come to visit in the near future. Therefore, Longtaro Castle had arranged for servants to wait in the Sea Crab City's courtyard. After receiving Liszt and his party, they were immediately arranged to stay in the courtyard. They did not have to stay in the dirty city.
After dinner at night, Liszt took a bath and lay in bed.
He was a little seasick.
In his hometown, he was used to taking planes and trains, but he was really not used to taking a boat. Fortunately, his predecessor was an islander, and his swimming ability was not bad, so he was able to slightly overcome it and not completely get seasick.
"As an islander, you are actually seasick. Liszt, I have to say that you are losing the face of the Tulip family. I thought you had matured, but I didn't expect you to be so unbearable. Thinking of your previous cowardly behavior, it really is my stupid younger brother. "Li Weiwei appeared in Liszt's room at some point.
She did not knock on the door.
This surprised Liszt, because he was observing his smoke Serpentines. He often took them out to see if there were any new discoveries.
But he soon settled down, because Li Weiwei did not seem to be able to see the smoke Serpentines. Only Liszt could see them, so he did not have to worry about leaks.
"You forgot to knock on the door."
"I didn't knock, but it doesn't matter." Li Weiwei crossed her arms over her chest and stared at Liszt, expressing her disdain.
"It is very important to me. You did not respect my privacy, and in doing so, it is very unladylike. Aristocrats like ladylike ladies, dear sister. "
"I don't need to change myself to please any aristocrat! Besides, Liszt, when did I need you to give me advice? If we weren't on Red Crab Island, I would really teach you a lesson and let you understand that advancing to Earth Knight is nothing! "
Liszt had been bullied by Li Weiwei since childhood.
He believed that the root cause was that Li Weiwei was jealous of his appearance — handsome enough to make most women feel ashamed.
"You didn't come here just to tell me that I am still very weak, did you?"
"I just wanted to see your ugly appearance when you get seasick."
"Since you have seen it, can you please go back?"
Li Weiwei fiercely glared at him, turned around, and walked away. Liszt got up and locked the door. The other party was nineteen years old, and she was still a girl. Her behavior was really unfathomable.
Liszt didn't care much. In his memory, Li Weiwei was such a careless, or rather, rash and frivolous person.
The count often lamented that he and Li Weiwei should change their temperaments.
One was more graceful than a girl, and the other was more active than a boy.
Lying down again, Liszt could not sleep and could only think about some boring things: "Five months ago, I came to Longtaro Castle as a New Year's Day visit. At that time, Marquis Merlin was not on the island and was still serving as the captain of the court fleet. I have not formally met him for about four or five years. "
Due to the aristocratic monogamy system, families were often not that prosperous.
Marquis Merlin had one son and two daughters. The third daughter, Melissa, had already passed away, while the second daughter, Melinda, was married to the marquis' follower, Viscount Roland Pine Cone of Long Surround Island. There was only one heir, the eldest son, Messiro Longtaro, and Messiro also had only one son, Meopal Longtaro.
"Cousin Meopal … seems to be almost twenty-five years old, and still unmarried? It seems he is pursuing Sapphire Grand Duke's daughter? I heard that this princess of a small country is a social butterfly. "
Grand duchies were vassals of empires and kingdoms. The highest ruler was a grand duke. Strictly speaking, if one was not a king, one's daughter could not be called a princess. Moreover, the newly enthroned Sapphire Grand Duke, because he could not become a Dragon Knight, his title had already been demoted to Duke.
In the aristocratic system, prince, grand duke, and duke were of the same level. However, only by becoming a Knight could one be conferred the title of prince or grand duke. Otherwise, one could only be conferred the title of duke.
However, rules were dead, while people were alive. Within the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, all the aristocrats addressed the ruler as grand duke. His daughter was naturally treated as a princess and sought after by people.
