"My proud son, Liszt, you contributed a lot to my title." The Count, no, the Oxtail Marquis patted Liszt on the shoulder. He did not have a father's majesty, only a father's love. In fact, his title of Marquis was all earned by Liszt.
Looking at the tall and handsome second son in front of him, he was full of emotions.
When Liszt was born, he had high hopes for him because of his resemblance to Melissa, hoping that he could surpass himself. As Liszt grew up, his personality became more and more timid and eccentric, and his talent became more and more useless. This caused him to be disappointed, and he gradually showed indifference.
Now, every step of Liszt was earth-shattering. He was so shocked that he had to look at him at the same level or even look up.
His second son was as handsome as ever, and his talent could be said to have changed dramatically.
Everyone returned to the castle's living room.
There was a place for the women to gather and chat. The living room was filled with the followers of the Marquis of Oxtail, led by four viscounts — Lifelong Viscount Levis, Viscount Yunus of Gravel City, Viscount Trik of Beer Island, and Viscount Liszt of Black Horse Island.
In his 20 years as an Earl, Leewilliam did not obtain the followers of a Sky Knight, and none of his followers were promoted to Sky Knight — Liszt was an exception.
However, with him being conferred the title of Marquis of Oxtail, there may be Sky Knight following him in the future.
"I was promoted to Marquis of Oxtail because everyone worked together to fight for the glory for me. In ten days, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the promotion. At that time, the eldest prince and some of the country's nobles will come to congratulate me … During this time, all of you will send people to Oxtail with my officials to distribute your fiefs."
Iron Hoof Island was divided into four.
Obviously, the title of "Marquis of Iron Hoof Island" could not be conferred, and no one would want the title of "Marquis of Oxtail". Therefore, the Grand Duke divided the titles of Marquis of Ox-Tail, Marquis of Ox-Horn, Marquis of Ox-Hoof, and Marquis of Iron Hoof City.
The territory of the Ox-Tail Marquis was called the Ox-Tail Territory. It governed three large cities, Ox-Tail City, Ox-Tail City, and Ox-Rib City, as well as ten small cities.
Yunas and Tricke did not have enough battle merits to be promoted to Earl, so they could only choose a small city.
Liszt did not even intend to choose a small city. He would leave here sooner or later. There was no need to spend effort to build other cities. Black Horse Island was enough for him to develop for many years.
"Once we have chosen our territory, we will proceed with the relocation. The grand duke gave me a five-year harvest period. In other words, we have to move away from Coral Island within five years."
Oxtail Marquis signaled for a squire to take out a map of Iron Hoof Island. He said calmly, "Iron Hoof Island is divided into four parts, and Oxtail Hill needs to be rebuilt, but the benefits are obvious. More land, more trade … Also, Marquis Bull used to build a lot of things. The big guild will give me a discount."
Apart from the fact that there were no elves farming and the master craftsmen were taken away by the Sapphire Family, there were no other changes in Oxtail Hill. Even the serfs stayed in place to farm.
Yunas and Tricke looked at the map carefully, ready to determine the city they wanted first, and then carefully investigate.
Liszt held a teacup, leaned back in his chair, and wandered leisurely.
Oxtail Marquis got up and motioned for Levis to continue entertaining Tricke and others. He pulled Liszt to the window of the living room to ensure that the conversation was not overheard.
"I have discussed with the grand duke. Ten years were not enough. The grand duke only promised that you do not have to follow him for seven years. Continue to follow me and help me gain a foothold on Iron Hoof Island."
"Seven years is enough."
"By the way, the grand duke scolded me a few times for this issue, thinking that I am too selfish. The relationship between father and son should not hinder your progress." Oxtail Marquis was not angry at the grand duke's scolding, and his expression was relaxed. "But I have tied a string with the eldest prince, implying that you will follow him directly after seven years."
"What is the prince's attitude?"
"The prince thinks highly of you, and is naturally very happy about it. You should know that even if your identity cannot be exposed, you are still the second strongest person in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, the inheritor of the Ghostblade, a powerful existence that defeated a domain Knight."
Liszt's lips curled up. The nonsense about the Ghostblade had really fooled a bunch of people, "What do the grand duke and the prince think about my legacy?"
"The grand duke mentioned that the Sapphire Family wants to buy the legacy, but I rejected it, so the grand duke did not mention it again. As for the prince, he intends to marry the Tulip family in the future. "
"How? You want Richard to marry the First Prince's daughter?"
"The person he chose to marry is your son."
"But I don't have a son yet."
"You will have one sooner or later, won't you?"
"That is a matter for the future." Liszt had no thoughts of marriage or children right now. He was a person with the ambition to live a long life. Perhaps he would leave behind an heir to inherit the country he had painstakingly fought for due to political needs, but there was no such need at the moment.
Life was to enjoy life freely and freely.
… …
Oxtail's celebration was set for ten days later, so Liszt only had a lunch at Tulip Castle and a simple chat before returning to his territory.
Four days later.
In the study of the seaside villa, Oxtail was immersed in writing Liszt's Handbook of the Sky. The Marquis had been anxiously waiting for this handbook, but he had delayed it again and again, unable to find the time to finish it. He had overestimated himself. Due to the fact that he had achieved full mastery from riding a dragon, there were many details of training that he did not know.
"Maybe I can go to Red Crab Island and have a chat with my grandfather. I can thoroughly understand the details of a full mastery Sky Knight's training … For now, let the Marquis wait for a while. He has waited for many years anyway, there is no rush."
At this moment.
A Qi suddenly shouted, "Brother, I'm done!"
Liszt was startled. He threw away the quill in his hand and ran straight to A Qi's laboratory.
A Qi giggled as she held a piece of thick bast paper, her eyes filled with a 'praise me' expression. She passed the paper to Liszt, "Brother, this is a training plan for the Dragon Knight based on the principle of resonance. The training process may be a little complicated, and you and Leo will need to work together to adjust each other's' frequencies' to complete the resonance."
"Don't worry, I may be weaker than you in theoretical research, but actual combat is my forte!" Liszt took the thick bast paper and ruffled A Qi's hair.
He focused his attention on the training plan for the Dragon Knight.
