From the magic workshop, Liszt took out the potions that he had recently hoarded and went back to take more potions.
The castle kitchen was busy preparing for the banquet. Butler Carter was ready to report on the recent work, but Liszt refused. "Let's talk tomorrow, I don't want to talk about work today."
He was not a workaholic. After fighting for more than a month, he just wanted to relax.
"Let Mrs. Morrison make me another cup of milk tea. I'm going to rest in the study for a while. If last year's saltpeter can still be used, make some frozen juice. If it can't be used, take some crushed ice from the icehouse. "
"Yes, Master."
A moment later, the milk tea was brought over. As for the frozen juice, it would take some time to make.
Liszt suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Elkson in Flower Town?"
"Mr. Elkson came once a week. If you want, you can inform the caravan to convey the news of your return."
"Inform him for me."
"Okay."
When the frozen juice was also brought over, Liszt closed the door of the study and tasted the frozen juice to get rid of the heat. It was already July, the hottest month of the year. Without ice, life would be full of helplessness. He sat in the rocking chair, rocked, and let his thoughts drift.
But soon, he felt bored.
From the gem space, he took out the soul storage jar that looked like a teapot. "Virginia Truth has been awake for a long time. I've been busy with the war and haven't had time to talk to her again."
Now that he had free time, he wanted to talk to Virginia and ask her to give him the Keel technique.
Tilting the teapot, a wisp of smoke was poured out, and in a blink of an eye, it formed a human upper body. It was Virginia Truth, the majestic 36D ghost that he had seen before.
"We meet again, Virginia. Should I call you Miss Virginia or Your Excellency Virginia?" Liszt said as he looked at Virginia's eyes that were gradually becoming clearer.
"It seems that I had a long, long dream … Sir, you already know my identity. I am the magician of the Goat family, Virginia Truth. I died in an accident." Virginia bowed slightly and looked at her body. "Was I sealed in the Keel Anchorage?"
"Yes, I fished you out of the wreck of a Dragonbeast sailboat," Liszt said.
Virginia nodded and said calmly, "I remember now. It was Curtis Truth who killed me … After that, I lost my memory, but I think Curtis Truth used some evil method to extract my soul and seal it in the Keel Anchorage … Thank you for releasing me from my slumber, sir."
Liszt smiled. "My name is Liszt Tulip, Baron of Flower Town, and I am about to become Viscount of Black Horse Island."
"Viscount Liszt … How is the Magic Goat Family? My sister, Curtis Truth, have you heard of her? She should have unified the goat gathering … How is His Highness Annette Sapphire?" Virginia asked. She probably thought that she had just died.
Liszt coughed.
Liszt didn't have the heart to tell the poor lady what happened to her, but there was no point in lying. He said, "The Magic Goat Family, about a hundred years ago, was annihilated by the third generation Sapphire Grand Duke because they participated in the palace coup."
"What?"
The magician made of smoke and light trembled, and the light flickered.
Just when Liszt thought she was going to faint again and retract into the soul storage, her body finally stabilized, but her tone was still uncertain. "More than a hundred years ago? Viscount Liszt, are you lying to me? "
"I don't need to lie to you. You are just a remnant soul living in my soul storage. In fact, I am not very curious about what happened more than a hundred years ago. The Magic Goat Family is like a ship sinking into the sea. If it wasn't for the sudden collision, no one would have known about this family. "
"More than a hundred years … No one remembers … this …" Virginia took a few deep breaths. Even in the soul state, he could still clearly see the violent rise and fall of her chest. "I'm sorry, Viscount Liszt, I … I lost my composure. I didn't know I had been sleeping for a hundred years."
"It's okay."
"Can you tell me what happened to the Magic Goat Family? If you know about it, can you tell me?"
This request was not too much, and Virginia, in the soul state, was also a good person to talk to. He could talk about the past with her, and after familiarizing himself with her, he could get the dragon bone technique. "In order to help His Highness Annette, your sister Curtis and Marquis Cohen decided to seize the life of the Dragon Gem Dragon."
"They wanted to turn His Highness Annette into the Dragon Lord?"
"Yes, but it was all in vain. The second generation Grand Duke found out and personally destroyed the Magic Goat Family. The second generation Grand Duke was also injured in the battle and abdicated to the third generation Grand Duke Annette … By the way, is Annette Annette's brother or younger brother?"
"Younger brother."
"The third generation Grand Duke banished Annette's soul. Your sister probably escaped. She did not take revenge, but studied Lich experiments, and finally transformed herself into a Lich. She sacrificed a large number of lives of magicians and civilians to turn the Goat into a ghost ship and sail to the land of exile."
"Lich … ghost ship … land of exile …" Virginia muttered to herself, "She is really a terrible woman. Because of her own love, the whole family was buried with her."
"This is just some superficial information that I know. Then, as Curtis' sister, can you tell me about the situation in that era?"
Virginia nodded, her eyes immersed in reminiscence.
After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and told the story of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire more than a hundred years ago. It was a prosperous era. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire was booming in the development of sea transportation, and the Magic Goat Family also followed the trend.
After the Sapphire Family developed the three-masted sailboat technology, the Magic Goat Family developed the dragon bone technique and gave birth to the Goat Assembly, a magician organization. The original purpose of the Goat Assembly was to train magicians for the family and participate in the production of dragon sailboats.
"My father was Cohen Magic Goat, the Grand Duchy's Marquis. Curtis was my cousin. She grew up with me. Her magic talent was the pride of the family. At the age of sixteen, she had become a great magician … Her love with Royal Highness Annette was blessed by everyone."
Virginia's voice was low and erratic, "And I was just an inconspicuous member of the family. Marriage and shipbuilding were probably all my life … I never left the City of Thousand Sails. I grew up there, lived there, worked there, and studied magic. That was my happiest time, until one day, Curtis came."
"She asked all of us to stop what we were doing and cooperate with her in some cruel experiments. She wanted us to secretly study the Sapphire Dragon … We didn't want to, so my teacher expelled her from the Goat Assembly … She massacred those who disobeyed. I can't imagine that she would do anything to me."
Then.
And that was the end of Virginia's story. She was dead.
"So, you know the dragon bone technique?" Liszt asked.
