On October 26, the weather was fine.
The cool breeze swept away the fallen leaves, and the trees around Tulip Castle created a good atmosphere. However, with the blessing of the Tulip worm stalk, the Tulip garden around the castle was still flourishing and colorful.
The noble guests participating in the celebration banquet set off one after another. After seeing off the Crown Prince and the others, Liszt had Gort and Markus return to the territory to continue presiding over the work. He was going to take Yevich and Alvin to Red Crab Island, but Yevich did not appear among the ranks of the retainers.
"Where is Yevich?" Liszt slightly frowned. He did not like to wait for people, especially his own followers.
The retainer Knight Xavier replied: "Sir, the Clearwater Swordsman told me last night that he had some personal matters to deal with. If Sir is looking for him, he told me to go directly to the vineyard outside Coral City to find him."
"Vineyard?"
He remembered that this manor belonged to Tulip Castle, and there was a grape worm stalk growing inside. The Tulip family's specialty, Crescent Wine, was produced in this manor: "What is he doing at the vineyard?"
Xavier hesitated for a moment before saying: "I seem to have seen the Clearwater Swordsman go with Sir Lvera."
Liszt suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Lvera and Yevich?
He did not continue to think about it, and just said lightly: "Go to the vineyard and bring Yevich back." He was not very concerned about Lvera's life. Although they were blood-related siblings, the relationship between him and his sister was relatively weak. In his memory, the relationship between Lvera and Levis was pretty good.
In fact, among all his relatives, the one he admired the most was Marquis Merlin, and the one he was closest to was his cousin Meopal.
Next to him was probably Madam Penélope and Leewilliam. Even his uncle Messiro was more pleasing to the eye than his brother and sister.
However, although he was not pleasing to the eye, from a close point of view, Levis and Lvera were still the closest siblings and a trustworthy family member. If nothing unexpected happened, the family should move to the country he established and continue to live as great nobles.
Perhaps he should interfere with his sister Lvera's criteria for choosing a spouse.
"Maybe it's just a one-night stand. Isn't that how the life of a noble is?" Liszt didn't think too much about it. It wasn't like he hadn't done such things before.
After sending someone to call Yevich, he went straight to meet up with his uncle and aunt's family.
Uncle Roland Pinecone and Aunt Melinda Longtaro naturally followed. Uncle Roland Pinecone and Aunt Melinda Longtaro. Cousin Russell brought his wife Jackie Broccoli, daughter Rosie, and cousin Raleigh to attend this celebration banquet.
On the way back, the whole family would gather together, and it should be very lively.
After a while.
Yevich rode his horse and followed the retainer Knight. To Liszt's surprise, Lvera also came with him.
After seeing Liszt, Lvera didn't talk nonsense and directly said: "Liszt, are you going to Red Crab Island to visit Grandpa? Maybe you can keep Yevich, I have a lot to say to him." The meaning of these words was obvious. She had taken a fancy to Yevich.
He glanced at Yevich and Lvera.
Liszt's expression didn't change. In essence, he didn't like the "slave of three surnames" Yevich. Although there were objective reasons for wasting his talent when he was young and frequently changing lords when he was young, it was inevitable that people would have a negative view of him because of his frequent changing of lords.
He had intended to interfere from the perspective of interests, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was worth it to destroy other people's love.
So he just said to Yevich: "Tell Lvera about your future work. You guys discuss the rest, don't report to me … As for today, you stay here and don't follow me to Red Crab Island." Exploring the island was Yevich's future work.
Leaving the island for a long time was not a life that could be easily endured.
Yevich bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, my Lord, I've caused you trouble."
Liszt waved his hand, mounted the chocobo Loki, and turned to Lvera: "Maybe Father can give you some advice. In any case, I'll send you my blessings."
"Thank you, Liszt."
…
After the meeting.
The Taro family's fleet sailed out of the port.
Looking at the palace speedboat braving the wind and waves in the sea, Liszt thought of his previous idea: "Uncle, I wonder if I can purchase a palace speedboat from the Longtaro Family? I hope to learn some shipbuilding techniques to help develop my territory's shipyard."
"You're going to research shipbuilding techniques? That's not a simple technique. The Taro family has sent people to research the palace speedboat for many years, but they still haven't figured out how to build it. "Messiro said.
"I'm not copying techniques, I'm just learning from them. My shipyard has its own technical direction." Liszt said proudly.
First of all, the powerful effect of rubber glue could replace mortise and tenon construction, reducing a lot of technical barriers.
Second, the rapid growth of fast-growing iron thorns could provide a constant supply of raw materials for shipbuilding. Apart from a small number of main keel bones that needed more than a hundred years of rock wood and stone wood, the rest could be replaced by thorny iron wood.
Third, he had the complete keel fixing technique, he only lacked dragon bones — although dragon bones were more expensive, he could buy them if he wanted to.
Finally, he had shipbuilding techniques from Earth — collision technology, longitudinal sail technology.
Once these techniques were combined, he could learn from the palace speedboat technology, coupled with the Water and Wind Pearls, and create a top class sailboat that could dominate the sea.
When that time came, the prelude to the Age of Navigation would slowly begin.
It was not impossible to cross the Devil's Sea.
"In that case, when you go back, you can drive this palace speedboat back."
"Thank you, Uncle. The price will be the market price for a new ship."
"It's just an old ship, half price will do."
Liszt did not bargain. The Taro family did not lack money, what they lacked was manpower. In the future, he would support the Taro family more. With the Dragon Knight as a backer, the Taro family's position in Sapphire should be very stable. Even if it was not stable, if the Taro family was willing to go to his country, they could still enjoy the treatment of a Marquis.
A day and a half of voyage passed quickly.
After walking for more than half a day, the fluttering flag of Longtaro Castle came into view. Because there were few people, there was no courtesy. They went directly to the bedroom to see Marquis Merlin, who was bedridden.
"Grandfather."
"Liszt, you're here!" Marquis Merlin leaned against the headboard. His face was haggard and yellow. His spirit was not very good, and he could die at any time. "You wrote to say that you would come, but you never did. I thought I would not be able to see you again, so I was going to scold you in my will."
"I'm very sorry, Grandfather, I was delayed by something."
"Forget it, it's good that you can come. What about Levis and Lvera?"
"They can't leave. Father has just been promoted to a Marquis, and the family is busy taking over Ox-tail Territory. As for Lvera, she is probably worried about her marriage."
"That's true. Leewilliam relied on you to be promoted to a Marquis, he must be very proud! Levis can inherit the Marquis's estate without any struggle, he must be laughing every day … Has Lvera found a satisfactory partner? This old lady is going to be twenty-two soon. "
"After the New Year's Day, she will be twenty-two."
"Twenty-two, it's time to find a noble to marry. Otherwise, when she gets old, she can only find an incompetent gigolo." Marquis Merlin chatted endlessly with Liszt about family matters.
After a long while.
After chatting about family matters, Marquis Merlin looked at Liszt with the eyes of an elder, and suddenly sighed with emotion: "So much like Melissa … Melissa's good points and Leewilliam's good points are all gathered on you."
