The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious.
Madam Penélope was particularly active. The old madam was no longer healthy, but she was in a good mood. Although she did not know that Liszt was a Dragon Knight, her son had already been confirmed as the Marquis of Oxtail, and her grandson was likely to become the Marquis of Iron Hoof Island. How could she not be in a good mood?
Apart from the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the two princesses, there was no one else in the Grand Duchy and the two princesses. Even the two princesses were not as good as this old madam.
It was true that during the reign of the Grand Duchy, the princesses were revered.
But once the Crown Prince succeeded the throne, the princesses were nothing more than two sisters who had already married. When the Crown Prince had his own descendants, the status of the princesses would be even lower. Estranged from generation to generation, the princesses would either integrate into the feudal lords or the blue-blood aristocrats. It would be impossible for them to continue to attach themselves to the Sapphire Family.
She ate a soft steamed egg and joked: "We have to pay attention to one thing. I'm afraid that many greater aristocrats will bring their daughters to visit the Coral Island."
"Indeed, this is a major event in Liszt's life." Madam Marie followed up.
Rolia also smiled and echoed: "Family background, appearance, and conduct should be carefully investigated and considered. The most important thing is Liszt's own choice."
Liszt just ate his dinner and did not respond to the three madams' worries about his marriage. He had no desire for aristocratic ladies. With his current status, he did not need to rely on marriage to strengthen himself.
The count knew of Liszt's Dragon Knight identity.
Therefore, he was well aware of Liszt's choice of marriage partner. He said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. No matter which young lady comes to visit, let Liszt make his own decision, understand?" In his opinion, it was best for Liszt, who had a dragon, to marry a princess to match his identity.
The Dragon Knight, with his fighting strength at the top of the world, had always been the best choice for princesses.
"You are now the Marquis of Oxtail. You have the final say in the Tulip family." Madam Penélope said indifferently, "You have always made your own decisions, and I have not seen you make any good choices."
After saying that, he glanced at Madam Marie. His meaning was self-evident.
Madam Marie continued to smile, as if she did not understand the subtext of Madam Penélope's words.
…
In that case …
After the banquet.
The Count and Liszt entered the study again to discuss in detail. "Since you have become a Dragon Knight, you must have had a dragon for a long time. When did it start?"
"I found Leo on Black Horse Island. He is a growing young dragon, but as an elemental dragon, he is very powerful. Basically, ever since I became a Sky Knight, I've been training with Leo. That's why my strength has improved so much. "
"Leo is that fire dragon?"
"Yes."
"No wonder I lost to you so miserably in the actual combat drill." It seemed that because he had lost to the Dragon Knight, the Earl quickly got over the setback and could calmly talk about the fiasco. "I didn't expect the Tulip family to have a Dragon Knight."
Liszt smiled. "The Knight's glory favors me."
The Earl was silent for a moment and also smiled. "The Knight's glory favors me."
Then he asked sternly, "Leo is still a young dragon. What are your plans? The growth cycle of a dragon is measured in hundreds of years."
"I am exploring the Dragon Knight's training method. In fact, the best way is to get the Dragon Knight's Dou Qi Secret Book from the Grand Duke, so that I can refer to the first Grand Duke's training method and quickly improve my strength … Now I can only explore it independently, and the progress is slow."
"The Grand Duke will never easily give away the Dragon Knight's Dou Qi Secret Book."
"I am not counting on the Grand Duke. As long as he can tolerate me developing my strength steadily, I will leave the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and look for other overseas islands to build a country."
"You want to go overseas to build a country?"
"I can't overthrow the Sapphire Family and rob the Grand Duchy of Sapphire to build a country. The Grand Duke did not abuse the Tulip family. I am not willing to betray the Lord." Although the huge profits of war once drove Liszt to the battlefield, the basic rules still need to be followed.
The Sapphire Family did not target the Tulip family, so the Grand Duke will always be the Count's Lord. As a follower, betraying the Lord is already an immoral act that is despised. If he kills the Lord, his reputation will be completely ruined.
Even if in the future people fear the strength of the Dragon Raising Family and dare not say it out loud, they will still insult the Dragon Raising Family behind their backs.
"It is not easy to build a country from scratch. At least it needs the support of the kingdom. I thought you would choose to build a country on the mainland."
"I prefer to develop on the island. Many people think that the island is desolate, but it is not difficult for me to develop on the island."
"It is not easy to develop a country. You must realize this, especially since the fire dragon is an Elemental Dragon. It does not help much in the production of resources."
As long as Liszt takes down the invisible dragon, there will be no shortage of resources.
Even if there is only Leo, it is not really impossible to develop productivity. "Father, I think the Elemental Dragon also has strong production potential. I have explored a lot about the use of the fire dragon. At present, the glass making, charcoal calcination, bricks and pottery on Black Horse Island all use the power of the fire dragon. "
As long as there is more exploration, the power of the fire dragon is the driving force from agriculture to industry. After all, it is equivalent to unlimited energy.
If steam engines, internal combustion engines, and the like can be developed, the Industrial Revolution may be set off at any time.
However, the Industrial Revolution takes too much energy. Now Liszt, as a Dragon Knight, enjoys the great power of the Dragon Knight and has little motivation to promote the Industrial Revolution. He wants to ride a dragon to explore this wonderful world and discover all the mysterious things.
In this way, the father and son outlined the future of Liszt's country.
However, no matter how beautiful the blueprint is, it has to be built step by step. At present, the most important thing is to ensure that Liszt can develop steadily until the day of the founding of the country.
"Father, I am not going to see the Grand Duke. I hope you can deal with the Grand Duke and dispel the Grand Duke's attempt to recruit me as a follower. Otherwise, even if the Grand Duke does not snatch Leo, the Dragon Knight of other kingdoms will launch a dragon-slaying war against me. It will be as bumpy as the founding of the first Grand Duke. "
"You can rest assured that it is just a little bit of greed … I will tell the Grand Duke directly that I need you to help the Tulip family develop and gain a foothold on Iron Hoof Island. At least for ten years, you do not need to be loyal to the Grand Duke … Is ten years enough for you to develop to the point of self-protection?"
Liszt nodded. "It won't be long before I will shake the sea. Ten years is more than enough … Father, as long as I succeed in founding the country and separate from the family, the Tulip family will have the status of Marquis Bull in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. This is my promise."
Nobles pay attention to etiquette. Even between father and son, after the separation of the family, interests must be the first priority.
