Levis walked out of the study and closed the door. He was not a fool. Naturally, he could hear that Liszt wanted to send him away. Although he was unwilling, at this stage, he really did not participate in the family's high-level secrets.
In the study.
The Count and Liszt sat in large chairs. Just now, Rolia came and brought a few cups of brewed tea. The Count sipped the tea and waited for what Liszt was about to say. He was really a little curious. His son seemed to be unwilling to follow the Grand Duke.
Logically speaking, being able to become a follower of a greater noble was something to be excited about.
Being a direct follower of the Grand Duke was certainly more opportunities and benefits than being a follower of a Count or a Marquis. This kind of good thing was something that other aristocrats would definitely break their heads to get, but when it came to his son, he simply refused.
It was really hard to understand.
Last time, it was okay. Liszt was just a Viscount. Even if he followed the Grand Duke, he would not get too much of an important position. It was better to follow the Count and help the family compete for glory.
This time, the Marquis was in sight. With such a great status and glory, it was unreasonable to refuse again.
He did not understand.
Liszt was very clear about what he was doing.
The reason why he did not want to follow the Grand Duke was very clear. He was a noble Dragon Knight, and the Grand Duke may only be the Lord of the Dragon Domain. The Sapphire Dragon was also disabled. How could a Dragon Knight be loyal to a disabled Lord of the Dragon Domain? If Leo found out that he was subservient to a disabled Sapphire Dragon, he would probably go crazy on the spot.
"Father, you must be wondering why I don't want to follow the Grand Duke or separate from the family." Liszt said calmly, "The reason is very simple. I don't like the surname 'Macroalgae'. It doesn't sound dignified, and I have a more noble surname to choose from."
Don't like the surname 'Macroalgae'?
What a strange reason. The Count found himself more and more unable to understand his son. "What noble surname do you have to choose from?"
"I haven't thought about this surname yet."
The Count was stunned. "What?"
Liszt weighed his words. "According to my inference, the Grand Duke did not succeed in riding a dragon at all. He is just a Lord of the Dragon Domain. Moreover, the Sapphire Dragon was severely injured. Not only did it not recover, but it was also likely to lose its lifespan. That's why I shouldn't follow such a lord. "
He despised the Sapphire Grand Duke a little. Back then, the Grand Duke who appeared on a dragon was really impressive. He looked like he was riding a dragon in a noble manner, making people think that he was really a Dragon Knight. However, in the end, he was just a Lord of the Dragon City.
At this moment, Liszt was organizing his words and summarizing the pros and cons to see how he should inform the Count of his identity. Now that he no longer needed to be overly cautious, it was time to communicate with the Count, and let the Count weigh the future of the Tulip family.
Once the country was established, the Tulip family would definitely follow him.
Now, how the Tulip family would develop in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire was another plan and strategy.
The count did not know this.
Hearing Liszt's words, he suddenly frowned and his tone became serious. "Liszt, I know you are strong. As a Ghostblade Inheritor, you can defeat a Domain Knight. But the strength of the Grand Duke must not be underestimated. Even if he is not a Dragon Knight, just a Lord of the Dragon Domain, he can still easily kill any Ancient Warrior Inheritor! "
"In fact, he can't kill me. Even in a fair fight, the Grand Duke is likely to be unable to beat me."
"You are too young and arrogant. Is it the defeat of a Domain Knight that makes you so blindly confident, or is it the Ghostblade Inheritor that makes you think that you are stronger than a dragon?"
"Father, I know the strength of a dragon better than anyone."
"Then you should understand your current identity. You still need to respect the Grand Duke in order to develop in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire!"
"Have a sip of tea first, let me organize my words." Liszt reached out and motioned the Count to calm down. His expression was indifferent, as if everything was under control.
He was a Dragon Knight, and A Qi was a Magic Shooter.
Although they had not grown to their peak, their combined strength was definitely enough to compete with the Sapphire Grand Duke.
And his identity would be announced sooner or later. It was impossible to keep it a secret for a lifetime, and he was not willing to bury his head in wretchedness.
The Count was by far the most suitable person to inform at the first time. With the Count's cover, his identity as a Dragon Knight could still be concealed. But it also saved him the trouble of following the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke had given him the option to follow twice, and it was difficult to explain his repeated refusal.
Although he was not willing to bow to the Lord of the Dragon Domain, if it was beneficial to his development, it was not impossible to endure humiliation first.
But he was more worried about one thing. The Grand Duke had been with dragons for decades, and now he had become the Lord of the Dragon Domain. What if the Grand Duke discovered his identity as a Dragon Knight when he pledged allegiance to him on the spot? At that time, he was afraid that it would not just be a matter of pledging allegiance, but it was likely to involve a battle of dragon slaying.
One should not have the heart to harm others, but the heart to guard against others.
Who knew when the Sapphire Grand Duke found a Dragon Knight whose strength had not yet risen, would he choose to care for and provide an environment for growth, or would he choose to use violent means to rob the young dragon? There was a 99% chance that he would rob the young dragon and leave it for his own family to survive.
At that time, whether Liszt defeated the Grand Duke, or the Grand Duke defeated Liszt, it would set off huge waves.
If a foreign Dragon Knight took advantage of the situation, he was afraid that at that time, the situation would not be able to be cleaned up.
So the Count's cover was very necessary. A father would prevent his son from pledging allegiance to others in order to make more achievements for himself. It might seem greedy to outsiders, but it was indeed an excuse that made people speechless.
After a moment.
He had figured out the details, so he told the truth about his identity, "I have to confess one thing to you. There's no such thing as a slayer's inheritance. It's just a cover. I've been practicing the orthodox knight cultivation system from beginning to end. I'm just a sky knight."
"There is no Ghostblade inheritance?" The Count's face changed, and then he stared at Liszt. "But your strength is stronger than a Domain Knight. Don't tell me that this is because of your talent!"
"Half of it is because of my talent, and the other half is very simple. I am a Dragon Knight." He calmly revealed his identity.
"What?"
The Count suspected that he had heard wrong.
Liszt seriously repeated, "I am already a Dragon Knight."
"Dragon Knight?" The Count stretched out his hand, and his expression was very stiff. "You mean, Dragon Knight, a Dragon Knight riding a dragon?"
"It's a Fire Dragon."
"Fire Dragon? Evil Dragon? "
"Don't worry, I will restrain it from doing evil."
The Count heard this and nodded slightly, as if he had accepted this fact. He leaned back in his chair, and then picked up his half-drunk tea on the table, his movements very casual. However, Liszt still carefully noticed that the tea in the transparent glass cup was trembling slightly.
He wanted to bring the cup to his mouth, but the cup trembled more and more, and eventually his whole arm trembled. The tea in the cup almost spilled out, but he could not bring it to his mouth.
Finally.
The tea in the cup was shaken out by him, and a large amount spilled on his chest, but he did not seem to feel it. He looked at the void in front of him. "Dragon Knight, right?"
