The sound of horses' hooves was urgent.
The tall Tulip Castle was already in sight. Markus couldn't remember how many times he had visited the most magnificent castle on Coral Island. Since following Liszt, going in and out of Tulip Castle had become a common occurrence.
He walked on the road leading to the castle.
Soon, a patrolling Knight squad came to greet him. The captain, who was obviously an acquaintance, greeted from a distance: "Captain Markus."
"Captain Schiller."
After explaining the purpose of the message.
The Knight squad immediately escorted Markus to the castle gate.
He had been here many times. Each time, he could feel that the Knight's gaze on him had changed. When he first went to the Flower Town, there were mostly ridiculing and contemptuous gazes. Everyone thought that he had lost the qualification to compete for the aristocracy. Later, when he came with Dosen, some people started to be surprised.
After Ella was born, she finally enjoyed the envious gazes. The Knight knew what a lesser sprite meant.
Then, after the battle of Iron Hoof Island, Liszt became famous, and the Knight's gazes on him became even more envious. Then, after the development order, they became even more envious.
"After today, what kind of gazes will you look at me with?" Markus tried to keep calm, but his mood was so good that he wanted to sing. Of course, he had never sung before. His personality had always been serious and rigid. Even if he had a lot of inner drama, he was still unwilling to show it.
The new deputy butler received him in the castle.
"Captain Markus, what brings you here today?"
"I brought a message for Sir Lord to give to Sir Count."
"Ah, it turned out to be a message from Young Master Liszt. Please wait in the living room, I will go inform the Master." The deputy butler left for a moment before returning, "Captain Markus, the Master is upstairs in the study. He invites you to go."
"Thank you."
When he arrived at the door of the study, Markus tidied up his clothes. He was still in awe of the count. After entering the door, he immediately performed the Knight's etiquette: "Markus pays respect to Sir Count."
"Please sit down, Markus." The Count sat behind his desk, motioned for Markus to sit down, and then asked, "What message did Liszt ask you to bring me? The distance between Flower Town and Tulip Castle is such a short distance. Riding a chocobo, he can get there in an hour, yet he still sent someone to deliver a message. "
"The Lord is dealing with important matters on Black Horse Island and has no time to leave, so he asked me to deliver the message."
"Alright, go ahead."
Markus cleared his throat and said sternly: "Sir Lord invites you and Madam to the Flower Town on April 14 to participate in the great sprite's birth celebration."
"Oh." At first, the Earl did not react. After waiting for three seconds, he suddenly came to his senses. "What did you say? The Great Elf's Birth Celebration?"
"Yes."
"Liszt has a Great Sprite? Which elf evolved, Ella, Nami or Mickey? Ella and Mickey have just evolved, and it seems unlikely that they will continue to evolve. Is it the Mangrove Sprite, Nami? "The Count was very clear about Liszt's sprite.
"Sir Count, the great sprite contracted by the Lord is not domesticated, but a wild great sprite. It is a giant kelp sprite. The Lord personally dived into the sea to explore the giant kelp forest composed of giant kelp, and found and contracted it. Its name is Parker. "
Markus finished and added a few words: "Parker was born in the giant kelp forest. In addition, the Lord also found and contracted three giant kelp sprites, named Fitz, Tam, and Eddie, and five giant kelp sprite worms."
"One great sprite, three lesser sprites, and five sprite worms?" Even though the Count had been through a lot, he still opened his mouth wide. It took a while for him to recover from the shock. "Markus, tell me what giant kelp is. Is there a forest in the sea? Are these sprites in the sea?"
"Yes, Sir Count. Giant kelp is a kind of plant that grows on the bottom of the sea. It is tens or even hundreds of meters long. They grow densely together, like a large seabed forest. Those giant kelp sprites live in the giant kelp forest. Moreover, the Lord also found a large area of magic ingredient giant kelp. "
"Magic ingredient giant kelp?" The Count exclaimed again.
Markus rarely saw the Count, who had always been high and mighty, lose his composure. However, he did not dare to show a different expression and replied respectfully, "Yes, there is a large area of magic ingredient giant kelp. The Lord has decided to expand the magic ingredient giant kelp in the sea and let all the giant kelp sprite worms cultivate the magic ingredient giant kelp."
"Stop for a moment."
The Count waved his hand, then exhaled a long breath, leaned back in his chair, and seemed to be lost in thought. After a while, he recovered and his voice calmed down. "The sprites in the sea, this is a very surprising discovery. It is indeed necessary to hold a celebration after contracting so many sprites that can grow magic ingredients."
"The Lord will be looking forward to the arrival of you and his wife in Flower Town."
"Don't look forward to it. I'm going to Black Horse Island. By the way, where was the giant kelp forest found?"
"On the shore of Black Horse Island."
"You still have to inform the others. Go, when you go back, tell Liszt that I'm going to Black Horse Island the day after tomorrow to see the giant kelp forest and the great elf Parker in person."
"Yes, I will convey your arrival to the Lord."
Markus bowed and left the study.
The study was quiet.
The Count leaned back in his chair, but fell into deep thought. He was also a person who had a contract with a great elf, although the great elf Xiangxiang had now been transferred to his son, Levis. When he took over the contract from his father, Greg Tile, Xiangxiang was still a little elf.
Then soon the news of his father's death on the battlefield came. At that time, he was just an Earth Knight, working hard to become stronger, hoping to avenge his father.
Shortly afterward, Xiangxiang suddenly broke through to become a great elf, and the family really ushered in the opportunity for development. Although he relied on his continuous development and war to be promoted to the Count, the foundation of the family was the cornerstone of success. Compared to Liszt, he had almost no shortage of resources during his youth.
However.
Now that he thought that Liszt already had a great elf, six lesser elves, and dozens of sprite worms, he felt deeply conflicted.
On the one hand, he was gratified that his son was favored by the Knight, on the other hand, he was disappointed that his son had left him far behind.
In terms of fighting, he could not beat his talented son, and now he was afraid that he could not even match his son in wealth. The Tulip family had a great elf, twelve lesser elves, and more than a hundred sprite worms, but this was the harvest of more than 20 years of farming on Coral Island. The harvest of three years was simply not comparable to Liszt's.
"Perhaps, soon he will separate from the family … Melissa, if you could see Liszt's current achievements, you would be very happy. Your son has started a new family."
The Count shook his head.
Melissa had been dead for more than ten years and should have been forgotten, but every time Liszt achieved something, he could not help but think of his dead wife.
