"When I was young, I fought everywhere and was injured countless times, yet I didn't know how to take care of myself. Only when I was old did I realize how important the body is. Compared to those old marquis clans, we, the new marquis clans, still have a long way to go. "Marquis Merlin drank a little potion and braced himself.
Liszt asked with concern: "Grandfather, do you need to rest for a while?"
"No need, I have rested enough by lying in bed all day. I have been looking forward to your arrival because I have a lot of things to discuss with you. I don't know much about your Ghostblade inheritance, but since you have such formidable strength, it means that your future is bright. "
"The Grand Duke proposed to my father that I be promoted to a Marquis of Iron Hoof City, but I don't have any thoughts about the aristocracy of the Blueblood Alliance, so I refused."
"The position of Marquis was refused just like that?"
"Yes, he refused."
"Haha, you have character. Worthy of being my grandson." Marquis Merlin laughed heartily, but soon, he began coughing violently. The butler standing by the bed immediately patted his back and massaged his chest, while a servant took a spittoon to collect the phlegm Marquis Merlin coughed up.
After coughing, he took a little breath.
Marquis Merlin continued: "The aristocracy of the Blueblood Alliance is indeed unsatisfactory. How can it be as comfortable as the aristocracy of a fief? Your thinking is correct. Moreover, you have the strength. Sooner or later, you will snatch one of the other two fief marquises of Iron Hoof Island. Perhaps the territories of you father and son will be next to each other. "
"Perhaps."
"Thinking about it this way, in the future, the Tulip family, your family, the Taro family, and the Golden Wheatear Family can help each other and become a great power."
"I'm afraid that the Grand Duke doesn't want the marquises to be too closely involved."
"The Grand Duke has his own way of thinking, and we have our own way of thinking. Getting used to each other is the best way to get along … The potion formula you sent to Meopal, he should already be taking it. I don't know how effective it will be, but I still need your help with the Longtaro Family's matters."
Regarding Meopal's question, he was quite worried.
The aristocratic system did not allow for the adoption of children. Once a noble lost his direct descendant to inherit the title, the fief would be taken back by the lord. Of course, he could also choose his daughter as his heir and let his grandson inherit the title. However, doing so would be no different from handing over the family to someone else.
No matter what, the inheritance of the title was always between male heirs. Inheriting it to a daughter would mean the extinction of the family.
Marquis Merlin naturally did not wish for the Taro family to perish.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I will do my best to help the Taro family."
"You're a mature child. Sometimes I'm jealous of William Lee for having three sons. Although Levis wasn't very useful, he was more than enough to defend his achievements. There was also that Lytton, right? It was said that his talent wasn't bad. The most surprising thing is that your talent is beyond everyone's expectations. "
Liszt replied modestly: "I just work harder than others, that's all."
"Whether it's hard work or talent, you've already grown to a height that no one in Sapphire can hope to reach. Defeating a Domain Knight head-on, I'm afraid this achievement is unprecedented." What Marquis Merlin meant by unprecedented was the level below the Dragon Knight.
However, if Liszt were to leave the dragon, his performance would not be much better than that of other Knight.
Without the dragon, he would probably only reach the level of a perfect Sky Knight. However, there were no ifs in this world. He had the dragon. Starting from the ordinary Sky Knight, he had already trained together with the fire dragon, creating a legend that belonged to Sapphire.
After confirming that he would help the Taro family.
Marquis Merlin and Liszt did not linger on this topic.
Liszt began to ask Marquis Merlin about the practice of a perfect Sky Knight. Marquis Merlin, as a veteran perfect, has rich experience and is naturally generous in teaching. They chatted for more than an hour, giving Liszt a deep understanding of the perfect level.
The basic material of "Liszt's Sky Manuscript" has been filled in enough and can be completed at any time.
… …
Lunch break after the luncheon.
Liszt called out the smoke mission. At this moment, the mission finally changed: "Mission completed. Reward: clues to the wyvern phoenix." The mission clues were probably in the hands of Marquis Merlin. He was going to ask again in the afternoon.
The new mission was also released.
"Mission: Although you no longer care about the sprite worms because of the dragon, the sprite worms are still quietly working to produce materials for the Black Horse Island territory. The value of the rubber worms is growing. The use of the three-phase power seems to make them addicted. Please use the three-phase power more often. Reward: a mutant rubber tree. "
"Huh?"
"It turned out to be a mission to reward a new species of plant. I haven't received a similar mission for a long time … The use of the three-phase power makes the rubber worms addicted. It seems that I have to use the three-phase power frequently after I go back to train the rubber worms' ability to mutate." He did not use the three-phase power often.
Because every time he used it, the rubber worm triplets would be dispirited and looked like they had lost a lot of blood.
However, with the guidance of the smoke mission, it showed that the three-phase power was not only harmless, but also stimulated the rubber worm triplets. Naturally, he had to use it more.
"But then again, since I transferred my energy to the dragon riders, the elves in the territory have indeed fallen into a state of stagnation. Does this mean that the power of fate represented by the smoke mission is actually limited? After the focus shifted, the influence of other aspects began to weaken? "
It seemed to make sense.
Liszt felt that it was necessary for him to learn how to control his subconscious to guide the smoke mission to release some more practical missions, such as dragon riding.
Elves were important, but they were not as valuable as dragons.
With dragons, he could rob a lot of elves.
"Give me a fairy dragon!" He quickly decided on the dragon he wanted the most and tried to hypnotize himself to look forward to the performance of the smoke mission.
In the afternoon.
After Marquis Merlin recuperated, Liszt went to his bedroom again. After chatting for a while, he began to ask about the phoenix feather. He had written to ask once before, and Marquis Merlin's answer was that it was seized on the battlefield of the expansion order, and he did not know its origin.
This time, Marquis Merlin gave a new answer. "Since your letter, I've paid attention and let the family's rats follow the caravan to the continent to inquire about the phoenix feather. They really got a lot of valuable clues from the captive Knight's mouth. "
"What clues?" Liszt's spirit was lifted, knowing that the reward of the smoke mission had come.
Sure enough.
Marquis Merlin said, "According to the captive Knight, his uncle was a mercenary who once accepted a secret mission for a great aristocrat to secretly explore a primitive jungle. They found a big tree that was said to be the habitat of a phoenix and obtained a few phoenix feathers. "
In the end, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, or because of a crisis, the mercenary group fell apart.
The uncle of the captive Knight fled and brought back a phoenix feather. He died soon after giving it to the Knight. And because the Knight was of the earth attribute, he could not use the phoenix feather and did not dare to take it out easily. This Knight knew that his uncle obtained the phoenix feather through dishonorable means.
So after being defeated and captured on the battlefield, he gave the phoenix feather to Marquis Merlin as a ransom.
Liszt asked, "Grandfather, where is the captive Knight on the continent, and where is the forest his uncle explored?"
