After patrolling around the castle, he did not find anything special.
The assets of the Clearwater Sword Saint Yevich Water Peanut were so poor that he did not look like a Sword Saint. The materials in Snow Pear Castle were not even as rich as those in Gravel Castle and Beer Castle, which made Liszt quite despise.
Of course.
He was not so angry that he really cut the worm stalks. The Knight War was a noble game, although there were no explicit rules that must be followed in the war. But just like the Geneva Convention signed by all countries on Earth to protect civilians and war victims.
Under the Knight system, there was also a set of rules that belonged to the spirit and character of a Knight.
The spirit and character of a Knight were publicized differently in different countries, but in general, there were slogans such as loyalty, fearlessness, courage, honesty, justice, protection of territory, and glory.
There was no propaganda, but it was real, such as the prohibition of killing captives, gold coins could be used to redeem a Knight, the prohibition of hurting elves, the prohibition of killing civilians, the prohibition of traitors, the need to ensure the purity of their children's blood, and so on.
Once, the king of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom sent troops to the duke's palace because a duke of a duchy liked to kill civilians. In the end, the duke was deprived of his title, but the kingdom did not abolish the duchy, but supported the duke's younger brother to inherit the title.
Of course, it was more likely that the duke had a conflict with the kingdom than that the duke liked to kill civilians.
But killing civilians was the best excuse for the duke to send troops.
Liszt also followed these rules.
He did not want to destroy them.
After all, killing the elf worm stalks would hurt the vitality, which would affect the final production. Even transplantation would not work. If the elves were away from the worm stalks for too long, the worm stalks would gradually wither. Although the elves could breed new worm stalks, they would also hurt their vitality and would probably die prematurely.
The Grand Duchy of Sapphire wanted to plunder enough resources every time it issued an expansion order, so it could not consume elves and other resources at will.
Otherwise, after several expansion orders, no nobles would be willing to reclaim the coastal hinterland.
In fact, with the continuous invasion of the expansion orders, several coastal hinterlands of the Eagle Kingdom that were often plundered had given birth to many nobles who did not produce. These nobles secretly supported mercenary groups to engage in serf trade and various smuggling trades to escape moral condemnation.
For example, the civilians of those towns were generally free from the ravages of war. Unfortunately, if the Knights didn't come to destroy them, the mercenaries would still come to plunder.
It was not hard to imagine that without the protection of Snow Pear Castle, Ice Pear City would soon be attacked by mercenary groups.
But these were not problems that Liszt was willing to worry about.
He stood on the second floor of the castle, looking at the grapevines in the backyard, still regretting Yevich's escape. "It seems that many castles have tunnels. I should also build a tunnel in Thorn Castle. Building a tunnel to the sea would make it convenient for me to see A Qi, and also convenient for me to escape from the sea."
If he escaped into the sea, he would have Lolth the Rainbow Whale to breathe. Even the Dragon Knight wouldn't be able to hit him — except for the Water Dragon Knight. The Water Dragon was an Elemental Dragon after all. Perhaps the Dragon Knight could breathe underwater.
While sighing with emotion.
Another ball of distorted smoke floated in front of him.
"Mission completed. Reward: a hand-drawn map of the ruins."
Yevich had escaped, and the three Great Wizards had become prisoners. Mission completion was a matter of course. Moreover, Liszt believed that the map of the ruins was in the hands of the three Great Wizards. If he wanted it, he could get it at any time. The battle achievements belonged to the count, the resources belonged to him, and the map of the ruins was obviously also his.
He began to focus on the next mission.
This was already the one hundred and twenty-sixth mission: "Mission: The escaped Yevich Waterpeanut is unwilling. Perhaps he is waiting for you in the next city. If you want to plunder the resources to attack the river plain, a great battle is bound to happen. Please capture or kill Yevich. Reward: an Iron Knight. "
The content of the mission was nothing special. It generally developed along the way.
What surprised him was the mission reward: "An Iron Knight? So, the city that Yevich fled to should be Steel Dam City, and there is an Iron Knight in Steel Dam City? "
Steel Dam City was the next target of the Coral Island Orders of Chivalry.
The Iron Knight was a type of knight. They cultivated a special Dou Qi secret manual and could forge all kinds of divine weapons.
The Redblood Sword, the Sky Cutter Greatsword, the Swift Shadow Bow, and other weapons were all forged by the Iron Knight. Wizards made magic equipment, such as gem pendants, amplification bracelets, wind beads, and so on. The Iron Knight forged all kinds of gem weapons, mithril armors, elven weapons, dragon bones, and other weapons.
The magic equipment made by Wizards stimulated the magic power of the materials themselves in the form of magic arrays, thereby forming special effects and power.
The weapons forged by the Iron Knight were forged by combining the materials with the weapons, and then through special forging methods, they were suitable for the Knight to pour qi into them, triggering the magic power resonance of the materials themselves, and displaying formidable power.
Magic equipment could be stimulated as long as there was magic power, and it was not limited to qi or magic. Gem weapons, elven weapons, and so on, on the other hand, required qi to stimulate them, otherwise they would not be able to display their power.
Training an Iron Knight consumed a lot of resources.
Generally, only the great nobles would choose the talented young Knight of their territories and train them into an Iron Knight. Even many Iron Knights themselves were the children of great nobles. The grandson of the Bull Marquis had also become an Iron Knight at a young age. It was because of this that Liszt deduced that he was very talented.
"I hope that this Iron Knight can bring me the method of training an Iron Knight. An Iron Knight alone is not much. The systematic training method he mastered is really valuable."
…
Back in the castle.
The Count had finished interrogating the three great Magicians.
Lars Truth, Celair Truth, Dulaka Truth, these were the names of the three great Magicians. Although they were all Magicians of the Eagle Kingdom, they came from different places. Half a year ago, at a Magician's Gathering, they walked to the same stall.
The other party was an ordinary Magician, and he took out a map of the ruins that was about to decay and sell it.
Lars explained expressionlessly, "That is a Moon Language map. After our appraisal, it is a map left behind by the Moon Empire, and it points to a lost civilization. All three of us took a fancy to this map, and none of us wanted to give it up. Finally, we decided to study it together … "
Celair added, "The map is incomplete. The Magician told us that he found it in the ruins of an ancient Wizard Tower, so we spent all our savings to excavate the ruins of the Wizard Tower …"
From the ruins of the Wizard Tower, they did not find the other part of the incomplete map.
But according to the clues left behind in the ruins of the Wizard Tower, they successfully completed the incomplete map and drew a map that was not very accurate. The map pointed to the Roaring Estuary.
"According to our research, during the Moon Empire, most of the area of the Roaring Estuary was actually the sea. The lost civilization that the map pointed to was a strange race living in the sea. The Moon Empire had trade with this strange race, so we came here to find this strange race. "
"A race in the sea?"
