Early the next morning, Liszt, who had slightly dark circles under his eyes, had already packed his luggage.
He also enjoyed a breakfast in his room – bread, fried eggs, shortbread, jam, milk, honey, and coffee.
After Levis and Li Weiwei had also packed their things, the three siblings were ready to bid farewell to the marquis. The marquis got up early and was sitting in his wheelchair, writing something.
"Did you sleep well?" The marquis stopped writing, raised his head, and looked at the three tall siblings: "I heard that you had a good time at last night's ball?"
Levis replied with a smile: "It was a very comfortable night, Grandfather. The ball hosted by cousin made us very happy, and we got to know a lot of aristocratic ladies. I was moved by some of the beautiful ladies. "
"That's good. Take advantage of the fact that you are young and moved."
After exchanging a few words, the three siblings said their goodbyes. The marquis did not urge them to stay. He just said to Liszt: "I was not able to witness your coming of age ceremony. To make up for this regret, I will give you a gift. Meopal, bring the prepared gift and give it to Liszt. "
Meopal soon came in with a long box in his hands.
When Liszt saw the box, he immediately understood that his guess was correct. The gift from the marquis was indeed what the elders liked to give to the younger generation – a weapon.
"What kind of magic weapon will it be?" Liszt was somewhat impatient.
Meopal handed over the box: "Liszt, Grandfather will give you this Redblood Sword. I hope you can use it to cut through the thorns and blossom with the dazzling brilliance of a Knight."
"Redblood Sword?"
Liszt opened the box. Suddenly, a bright, snow-white Knight two-handed sword entered his eyes.
The slender blade, the slender crossguard, and the slender hilt looked just like a German two-handed sword. At the intersection of the sword guard and the sword hilt, there was a fiery-red gemstone embedded in it. Just by looking at it, one could feel the magic power emitted by the fiery-red gem circulating ceaselessly throughout the entire sword.
It could even be seen that there were tiny red marks that looked like blood vessels appearing on the blade.
No wonder it was called Redblood Sword despite being snow-white.
Most importantly, it was not a magic weapon, but a gem weapon that was better than magic weapons!
"Ruby?" When Li Weiwei saw the ruby on the crossguard and hilt, she was immediately shocked. At the same time, her eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
An ordinary magic weapon was worth about a hundred gold coins.
However, a gemstone weapon was worth thousands of gold coins, and it was a magic weapon that was ten times the price.
Just this Redblood Sword alone was estimated to be worth several years of taxes of a wealthy town. Her Falcon Town was more or less a wealthy town. After a few years of living frugally, it was barely enough for her to buy a gemstone weapon. However, it was impossible for her to give up her luxurious lifestyle, so it was very likely that she would never be able to afford it.
Her heart was filled with jealousy, and with her straightforward personality, she immediately said, "Grandfather, you are too biased towards Liszt. You only gave me a set of clothes as my coming-of-age present."
"For your coming of age ceremony, didn't the Coral Island's boy give you a lesser sprite and also confer you the title of Baron? But Liszt can't enjoy it. The Coral Island's boy is allowed to be biased, but I'm not allowed to be biased? "The Marquis spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. At the same time, he revealed his dissatisfaction with the Earl Of Coral Island.
Liszt immediately showed off: "Thank you for the gift, Grandfather. I will treat the Redblood Sword well and not let its brilliance be covered in dust."
If he sold a gemstone weapon, he could immediately get one or two thousand gold coins. Of course, he would not sell it. The ruby embedded in the Redblood Sword clearly had the attribute of fire. It could assist him in his training. This was more effective than using magic ingredients to assist his training.
Products of dragons were bound to be fine.
… …
With the Redblood Sword in hand, Liszt, under the watchful eyes of Meopal and a large group of servants, prepared to return.
His short two-day stay as a guest in the Longtaro Castle was over.
He was not too reluctant to leave. After all, there were still a lot of things waiting for him in the Flower Town. Gold or silver nests were not as good as his doghouse. Just as he was about to board the carriage, someone suddenly shouted: "Liszt, wait."
He looked back and saw Athena.
"Good morning, Miss Athena."
"Good morning." Athena was slightly out of breath. She had probably run over from the castle, "Are you going back?"
"Yes."
Levis, who had boarded the carriage, suddenly interjected: "If there is a beautiful girl looking forward to me, then I would rather not go back."
Liszt turned around and glared at him: "Brother, please get on the carriage."
Levis shrugged: "Miss Athena, you two talk."
"Thank you, Sir Levis."
Leaving Liszt and Athena alone, Athena grasped the corner of her clothes: "Aren't you going to stay for a few more days?"
"There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the town."
"Will you come to White City as a guest?" Her eyes were full of expectation.
Liszt smiled and refused: "Sorry, I have no reason to visit your family. I don't know your father, and I don't have any connections."
There was always a reason for the communication between aristocrats. One could not visit for no reason.
"You can come and find me." When Athena finished speaking, she lowered her head. The meaning was clear – an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. There was only one kind of relationship between them.
Liszt secretly sighed.
He felt that his next words might hurt the lovely little girl's heart, but he had to say it: "Miss Athena, thank you for your love, but I have not considered the possibility between us. Please do not worry about me. You are so beautiful, there must be many people better than me pursuing you. "
Athena's eyes quickly dimmed, but soon she was full of smiles again: "Thank you for your frankness, Sir Liszt, I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Thank you, take care," Liszt said and turned to enter the carriage.
The coachman raised his whip, and the horse pulled the carriage, galloping quickly down the mountain. There was no dust on the gravel road, only the clanking of the wheels.
"Liszt, you're so cruel to reject a noble lady's love just like that." Li Weiwei showed an indescribable emotion, probably doubtful that her weak brother could refuse someone else.
"I don't feel anything. Why do I force myself and harm others?"
He looked back through the window and saw Athena still standing at the castle gate in the distance. The clothes that wrapped around her petite and exquisite body swayed gently in the wind.
She was courageous, but he could not accept it.
He wanted to be sentimental for ten minutes.
But Li Weiwei's cold snort interrupted the atmosphere: "There is no need for feelings in a noble marriage."
"There is no need? Then why don't you just marry someone with good conditions?"
"Because I don't want to be a vassal. Even if I want to marry, the groom must come to Falcon Town! Or, they have the charm to let me give up Falcon Town and live in their castle. If I really meet such a person, why can't I give up my body and mind? "Li Weiwei said arrogantly.
Liszt did not say anything.
A moment later, Li Weiwei stretched out her hand: "Let me see the Redblood Sword."
Waving the exquisitely crafted Red Blood Sword and the ruby that was brimming with magic, Li Weiwei could not hide her jealousy. "Why does Grandfather treat you so well? I might not be able to use a gemstone sword in my entire life! Liszt, it is too wasteful for you to use it. Give it to me, I can give you a hundred Naldas! "
