At the banquet.
Liszt saw all kinds of aristocrats. Most of them were aristocrats with higher status than him, or aristocratic heirs who had yet to be titled.
"Marquis Wallace Pineapple Green of Deep Throat Island, Marquis Roderick Golden Wheat of Golden Island, Marquis Ramirez White Glutinous Rice of Leather Island, Marquis Glendanton Red Maple Leaf of Maple City …" Liszt counted the Marquises at the banquet to increase his impression.
Of the seven Marquises of the Grand Duchy, four were gathered here.
The other three Marquises were not present.
The Marquis of the Red Shoes, Merlin Longtaro, had already retired and was enjoying his retirement at home. The Marquis of the Bull, Andy Sapphire, had become a traitor and was surrounded. The last Marquis, Marquis of Quicksand City, Nesta Great Flower, was currently assisting Madam Charlotte in cleaning up the palace servants.
The pattern of seven Marquises had been formed since the succession of the fifth Grand Duke and had been stable until now.
"Perhaps in a few days, there will only be six Marquises left." Eating coarse food, Liszt's appetite was not very good. He still preferred to eat the food made by Mrs. Abby.
Then he observed the eldest prince and the second prince.
To be precise, these two were only the sons of the Duke and had nothing to do with the Princes. However, just as the daughter of the Sapphire Grand Duke was called a Princess, they were also called Princes.
The eldest prince, Anthony Sapphire, was 32 years old and was known as the Ice Sword Saint. The second prince, Angus Sapphire, was 27 years old and was known as the Ice Spring Sword Saint. One was a veteran Sword Saint and the other was a newly promoted Sword Saint. To be able to be called a Sword Saint at this age, their aptitude was good.
The two were very similar in appearance, but they were not handsome.
The eldest prince's expression was more amiable, giving people a sense of closeness like a spring breeze. The second prince, who knew if it was because of the tragic destruction of the Orders of Chivalry, always had a cold face and kept strangers away.
"I heard from my cousin that Anthony and Angus became Sky Knight after the age of 20. Their talent is indeed good, but it can't be regarded as outstanding. With the unlimited resources of the Sapphire Family, it is possible for them to become a Sky Knight before adulthood. "
Liszt only became an Earth Knight when he became an adult. Now that he was seventeen, he hoped to become a Sky Knight before he turned twenty.
Although they had lost at the starting line, they were destined to win at the finish line.
Especially when he saw the eldest prince drinking with the nobles, still enjoying countless crowds and flattery, he felt very uncomfortable. He thought maliciously, Maybe the Sapphire Dragon is already dead, and the Grand Duke is already in a terrible state, but his son is here talking and laughing.
He picked up the glass of juice in front of him and took a sip.
He then tasted the medium-well steak and suddenly felt very emotional. "I keep feeling that this is not the right time to hold a banquet. Marquis Bull will not just sit and wait for his death. He must be up to something … It looks like I have to be more careful in this battle and not charge recklessly."
Those who could plan to slaughter a dragon were definitely not easy to deal with.
If you meet a soft persimmon, you must stab it. If you meet a tough one, you must learn to be humble.
The steak was not delicious, but the juice tasted good. He drank half a glass of juice in one gulp. This banquet could barely be considered to be full. When he went back, he would replenish some of the Six-headed Hydra King's snake meat.
Liszt looked at the nobles who were still flattering and toasting each other.
He suddenly thought, "If the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is really in chaos, will I have the opportunity to get the [Dragon Knight Qi Secret Book] from the Sapphire Family?"
The [Dragon Knight Qi Secret Book], written by the first Grand Duke, was left for his descendants to practice in the hope that one of them could become a Dragon Knight.
Unfortunately, in the hands of the Sapphire Family, no new Dragon Knight Qi Secret Book had been born.
Liszt knew that he was a man destined to ride a dragon. Therefore, this [Dragon Knight Qi Secret Book] was of great use to him.
In this part of the sea, this was probably the only book on how to ride a dragon.
… …
Juniper Castle was surrounded by Milk Lake, and the Knight could not charge.
But it could not stop the Knight. Early the next morning, the serfs of Ox Tendon City were driven to cut down the trees in the surrounding forest. One by one, logs were transported to Milk Lake, and rafts were thrown into Milk Lake. Countless wooden rafts were piled up, and soon the edge of Milk Lake was tightly covered.
The layers of wooden rafts could completely withstand the weight of a galloping cavalry.
Although the lake was huge, it could not stop the countless serfs from bustling about. Little by little, the surface of Milk Lake seemed to be covered by a cloth. It shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye and spread towards the island where Juniper Castle was located.
"Marquis Bull has not responded. The guards of Juniper Castle don't seem to be in a panic." On a nearby hill, Leewilliam put down his binoculars and said.
Liszt also put down his binoculars: "Father, I feel that Marquis Bull is making a big move."
"Maybe he has given up on himself. Liszt, you have to think in a positive direction." Levis's expression was relaxed: "The army is pressing on, and Marquis Bull can't resist. From the beginning, he assassinated the Sapphire Dragon and gambled with his life. Now, he has obviously lost the gamble. "
"Don't be too optimistic."
The Count glanced at Levis and said: "When dealing with the Golden Wheat Family, remember to use your brain more, look at the problem carefully from all angles, and don't be blinded by love."
For the past two days, Levis had been running to Marquis Roderick's tent every other day. Every day that he did not marry Roliya Golden Wheat Family was another day that he felt uneasy, so he actively performed in front of his future father-in-law.
Levis argued: "Father, you worry too much. I just want to actively connect with the Golden Wheat Family to deal with some bad things in the future."
"Actively connecting is a good thing, but don't show it. Don't become a gun and a sword in the hands of others. Learn to hide yourself." The Count suddenly sighed with emotion: "You two brothers, Levis is too keen on socializing, while Liszt is too indifferent."
Liszt smiled and was confident and free.
"Because I believe in my own strength, far more than unreliable socializing. Besides, leave the socializing to my brother. I will follow in the footsteps of my father and brother."
As a dignified future Dragon Knight, he did not care about maintaining some aristocratic relations.
Leewilliam shook his head, feeling a little powerless. Both his sons were very outstanding, but they had their own opinions and would not listen to him seriously.
…
Three days passed, and on the 10th of July, the sun was shining brightly.
The Milk Lake was completely covered by the wooden raft. The eldest prince no longer hesitated and announced the attack on Juniper Castle. The Earth Knight assembled in the form of Orders of chivalry and besieged the castle, while the Sky Knight flew high in the sky and launched a surprise attack.
A mighty battle was about to begin.
However, the island where Juniper Castle was located suddenly blossomed with a faint light. Then, a wave-like barrier appeared over the entire island, as if a large bowl had inverted the castle.
The Earth Knight could not break through the barrier.
The Sky Knight could only cause the barrier to shake violently.
"It's just a defensive magic circle. The sorcerers of the Goat Congregation can only create such an obstacle!" Eldest Prince Anthony unsheathed his long sword and pointed it at the sky, full of pride. "Everyone, listen to my command. Charge with me, attack the magic barrier and crush it!"
