Early the next morning, Liszt took Blessedcurls' nest and hung it on the castle's windowsill. On one hand, he wanted to let it bask in the sun, and on the other hand, he was fed up with the bird's cries.
He didn't know what happened last night, but it actually cried in the middle of the night.
At this time, Blessedcurls had just eaten small fish and shrimps, so it was full of energy. It crawled around in the nest, constantly making "quack" sounds.
In the kennel outside the castle, Dosen poked its head out and stared at Blessedcurls on the windowsill, drooling.
"Woof woof!" Seeing Liszt go out, it immediately wagged its tail cheerfully, rattling the iron chain around its neck. Liszt really was raising a dog, he had been using a dog chain since childhood.
Liszt untied the chain and held it in his hand.
Dosen immediately spread its hooves and madly ran. The time when Liszt took it for a walk every day was probably the happiest time of the day.
Leading Dosen to the horse field, Liszt began to train.
When Dosen was small, he usually trained once a day, but now it had been reduced to once every three days. He successfully taught Dosen not to hurt people or release magic without a password. At the same time, it was not allowed to casually eat and drive the horses on the horse field.
Of course, apart from Blackdragon, other horses would make a detour when they saw Dosen.
"Sit down, Dosen!"
Dosen, who was running happily a moment ago, immediately crouched down and looked at Liszt with its tongue out, not much different from a native dog.
Liszt threw a small ball made of leather: "Pick it up, Dosen."
Dosen immediately shot out like an arrow. After a few steps, it jumped, turned 180 degrees in the air, and smoothly caught the ball with its mouth. Then, it shot back and placed it in Liszt's hand.
"Very good." He rewarded Dosen with a small piece of jerky.
Next, he repeatedly trained several things, including releasing magic Rockthorns. Only when Dosen was exhausted and out of breath did Liszt tie up the chain again and give it to Thomas: "Take it back."
"Yes, Master."
Looking at the position of the sun, Liszt felt that the logging team should have arrived today. However, it was not the logging team that had rushed over. Instead, it was a patrol member.
"Lord, urgent report!"
"Speak."
"A tilted sail ship is drifting on the East Coast. Someone is waving a flag on the ship. Sir Gort thinks that it's a ship that's in distress. He's organizing people to prepare for a rescue. He asked me to immediately come and report to you, my Lord."
Hearing the news.
Liszt's spirit was lifted, and he immediately said to the patrol member, "I'll rush over now. Tell Gort that he must rescue the wrecked ship, especially the people on board."
…
By the time Liszt finished changing into Frac Abier, who had gone out, he led the four retainer Knight and the Earth Knight Markus to the east coast. He saw a group of people pulling on ropes by the sea, dragging a ship that wasn't too big, but wasn't too small either.
Among the people pulling the ropes, there were a few unfamiliar faces.
"Sir Lord." Isaiah, who was in charge of pulling the ship, bowed in salute.
Gort also hurried over from the sea: "Liszt, these are refugees from the Small Kerchief Island. They escaped from the Small Kerchief Island by ship, intending to seek refuge in the Big Kerchief Island. However, they encountered a storm and their ship was damaged. They could only drift along with the sea breeze to the Coral Island and get stranded on the East Coast."
Liszt nodded. He had heard of the Small Kerchief Island and the Big Kerchief Island.
At this moment, a somewhat hunchbacked old man walked over to him and knelt in salute from a distance: "Respected Sir Baron of the Flower Town, I, the one in distress, Burnell Mosquito, offer you my sincere greetings and express my deepest apologies for disturbing the noble Sir."
"Mosquito?" Liszt had heard of many strange surnames, yet he still felt that the name Mosquito was very strange.
"Sir, my family has been collecting sea otters' eggs for Sir Lord Small Kerchief Island for generations."
The agricultural harvest was difficult to guarantee, food was scarce in many places, and the fear and ignorance of the sea had led to the fishing industry being practically non-existent. At the same time, the serfs were forced to find ways to obtain food in order to ensure the luxurious lifestyle of the aristocrats in the castle.
Among them, sea otters' eggs had become a source of food.
Sea otters were gull-type seabirds, and their nests were generally built on seaside cliffs. To collect sea otters' eggs, one had to risk their lives by climbing hundred-meter-tall cliffs and fighting against the sea otters protecting the eggs. It could be said that it was not easy for the serfs to survive and leave behind descendants.
"Understood." Liszt extended his hand and motioned for Burnell to get up, "Why did you escape from the Small Kerchief Island?"
"The Small Kerchief Island was attacked by a group of pirates, the castle fell, and Sir Lord Small Kerchief's fate was unknown. We had to seize the pirates' ship and escape from the Small Kerchief Island. Originally, we were going to take refuge in the Big Kerchief Island, but we encountered a fierce storm and the ship nearly capsized. We ended up in Sir's territory. "
Liszt unconsciously frowned: "The Small Kerchief Island was attacked by pirates?"
The Small Kerchief Island was the territory of Viscount Small Kerchief's family. If he remembered correctly, the current lord was called Vincent Small Kerchief. A hundred years ago, this family and the Big Kerchief Island's Viscount Gnar Big Kerchief belonged to the same family, the Kerchief Family. The handkerchiefs sewn by this family were very famous.
Later on, one branch inherited the family title, while the other made meritorious deeds on the battlefield and became viscounts. Thereupon, one branch changed their surname to Big Kerchief and the other to Small Kerchief.
"The pirates looted the castle and massacred the people on the island. We could only flee."
"What do you decide to do now?" Liszt looked at the damaged sailboat. The sail had been torn and the hull had several holes. At this time, the ship had already been pulled ashore and a group of stooped people helped each other disembark. "Do you continue to take refuge in the Big Kerchief Island or stay in the Flower Town?"
Burnell's turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a ray of hope: "Sir, can … can we stay in the Flower Town?"
Liszt naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by: "If you stay, I can grant you the status of serfs. There are many wastelands in the Flower Town that can be granted to you for farming. Serfs who are skilled in a trade can be put in an important position. Report to Sir Gort whether you want to stay or leave. "
The ship was damaged and stranded. They simply couldn't leave. Besides, what was the difference between going to the Big Kerchief Island and staying in the Flower Town?
Therefore, after a simple discussion with the other refugees, Burnell reported to Gort that they would all stay and become Flower Town's serfs, pledging their loyalty to Liszt.
Since they had become serfs, it meant that these people, including the broken ship, were Liszt's assets.
"Teacher Gort, take inventory of the newly joined serfs and then add them to the various settlements. In addition, the sailboat also has to be cleaned up. I want to know what is inside the ship. The ship seized from the pirates must have some weapons, right? "
Gort's attitude was positive: "Please rest assured, Liszt. These serfs cannot hide even a piece of bread from you. Everything they carry, as well as everything about each of them, will be clearly presented to you … It will only take half a day."
"Don't forget about the ship. If it can be repaired, then repair it."
