This chapter is a reward for the leader "Dusk's Battle Song". One chapter for now and eleven chapters in the future. Come to think of it, Warsong had gotten three accounts, and all of them had become leaders …

The mission failed.
The smoke mission, which had been going smoothly, failed for the first time. As early as when he first discovered the smoke mission, Liszt had thought about what would happen if the mission failed.
However, he was afraid of leading to an unpredictable outcome. He had been working hard to complete the mission or change the mission. Coupled with the generous rewards of those missions, he was really reluctant to let it fail. Even this time, the Tulip worm evolution, Liszt did not want to fail.
However, he still failed. He stared at the smoke Serpentines that had begun to change without blinking.
Waiting for the latest change.
Slowly.
The twisted smoke began to form new Serpentines. "Mission: When good luck is used up, bad luck will replace it. If you often walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes? But you have to learn to grow in adversity. Like a seagull facing a storm, please defeat the bat in the dark. Reward: Bloody Mary. "
"Huh?"
"There is still a mission?"
"When good luck is used up, bad luck will replace it?" Liszt felt surprised. He had considered that the smoke mission would be far away from him, or cause serious injuries. He did not expect that just a few words expressing "good luck" would become "bad luck" and then asking him to defeat the bat in the dark.
After the mission was completed, there was still a reward. There was basically no change.
He was somewhat disappointed and inexplicably relieved. He was very satisfied with the form of the smoke mission and did not want any changes.
Immediately.
His attention was focused on the mission. "What is the bat in the dark, and what is Bloody Mary? I seem to have heard of Bloody Mary. It seems to be a cocktail? I remember that in many movies, there is a cocktail called Bloody Mary. Are you giving me a new cocktail recipe? "
Bloody Mary had been interpreted as a cocktail.
As for the bat in the dark, Liszt did not quite understand. He thought it was some kind of bat type World of Warcraft, or was it referring to vampires?
In the Knight novels, there were stories involving vampires, special humans who could turn into bats. Ghosts, liches, and sirens had all been proven to exist. He believed that vampires definitely existed. In Curtis Truth's notes, vampires were also mentioned alongside sorcerers.
He seemed to be a special kind of spellcaster like the Druids.
"So, some vampire is carrying the Bloody Mary cocktail recipe with him and wants me to kill him and drop the recipe?" Liszt was not nervous. He was no longer an ignorant person. As a Half-step Dragon Knight, as long as it wasn't a Dragon Knight, he was not afraid of any challenge.
"When will the bat in the dark night come?"
He waited for the latter half of the night, but there were no bats in the night. He patrolled around with his Magic Eye and even rode the chocobo Loki around, but still did not find any suspicious night bats.
He didn't sleep well that night.
But at dawn the next day, he led the Orders of Chivalry to Tulip Castle, but there were still no bats in the dark night. He no longer waited. Perhaps the bats in the dark night would attack him on the way. As for attacking the territory, Liszt could only hope that Paris, Chris, and A Qi could stop them.
He had already told his butler, Carter, that if the territory encountered any danger, he should immediately escort the elves to the castle by the sea and continue to blow the horn he had specially placed. When the time came, A Qi would hear the sound of the horn and protect these elves. He believed that the elves hiding in the water could survive safely.
Protecting the elves was equivalent to protecting most of the territory.
… …
The fleet set off at the port of Coral City.
Liszt did not follow the Count on the Tulip family's largest three-masted sailboat, the Tulip. He stayed on his Sunset, enjoying the comfort of the constant temperature air conditioning. When he arrived at Oxfoot City, there was still no movement from the smoke mission, and the bats in the dark night did not show their whereabouts.
"I talked to A Qi. If there are vampires attacking the territory, she will quickly come to inform me while protecting the elves … With A Qi's speed and strength, there should be no danger in the sea. If there is a situation, she should come and tell me … There should be no problem."
Black Horse Island was a four-day voyage from Oxfoot City. With A Qi's speed, she could arrive in half a day.
Even from Black Horse Island to the mainland, it would not take more than a day.
Therefore, if A Qi did not appear, he was not worried about the territory.
The port of Iron Hoof City was very lively, and almost all the nobles of the grand duchy participated in the development order. The fleet of the great nobles was so dense that the entire port was packed. The Count was going to attend a meeting. Liszt did not know many nobles, so he just wandered around Oxfoot City.
Shortly afterward, he heard that there was a trade of sprite worms in the trading market of Oxfoot City. It was rare for the nobles in the country to gather together, so he naturally could not waste this opportunity.
Liszt, who was feeling bored, would not miss it either.
He put on a mask and pinned a special dried Tulip flower to his chest to resist the stench of Oxfoot City, and led his servants into the market.
"Viscount Liszt, it really is you." Liszt was strolling in the market when someone suddenly greeted him. He turned around and saw that it was the son of Jonas Moongrass, Count of Moonlight City, Jobs Moongrass.
"Sir Jobs, are you also shopping in the market?"
"Yes, I'm going to see if there are any sprite worms to trade." Jobs was a gregarious man, and he immediately introduced Liszt to several of the young men with him, the scions of the Blueblood Alliance.
Unlike the feudal nobles, the noble children of the Blue-Blood Alliance would basically go to the battlefield when they reached adulthood. Although the death rate was relatively high, the speed of promotion was much faster than that of the feudal nobles. Basically, their resources were either rewarded by the Grand Duke or plundered from the battlefield.
The proportion of income from the feudal business was very small.
The Blue-Blood Alliance and the feudal nobles were not a social circle, and the young nobles rarely communicated with each other. However, Liszt, as the youngest Sky Knight in the country, was first-rate in intimidating people. The young aristocrats who were with Jobs bowed politely.
Liszt also politely returned the greeting without appearing arrogant or enthusiastic.
After greeting.
After exchanging a few words, they went their separate ways and did not communicate further. Liszt continued to look for sprite worms in the market, but there were too few worthy sprite worms. It was rare to see a barley worm that had not yet been contracted. The seller asked for 4,500 gold coins and refused to budge.
4,500 gold coins to buy a barley worm was very foolish. Even a sprite worm that could be used to grow potions was not necessarily worth this price.
Liszt did not insist.
He did not have a barley type potion, and buying it would be a serious loss. Moreover, the death of the Tulip worm also alerted him that getting the smoke mission did not mean that his sprite worm had no chance of evolution failure. He even decided to give up the plan to stimulate Ella.
The evolution of a sprite into a greater sprite also had a high probability of failure. Although it would not die like the Tulip worm, it would certainly suffer a great loss of vitality and shorten its lifespan.
So he wanted to let nature take its course.
He no longer thought of interfering with the evolution of the sprites. He just tried to provide them with pheromones as much as possible to help them increase the probability of successful evolution on their own.
...
In the evening, he followed the count to attend the banquet held by the eldest prince.
