Liszt was puzzled.
He didn't know what Alonso Cyclamen was thinking, and he wasn't sure what the hidden crisis meant. Even if Alonso intended to get his hands on Sapphire, what would he rely on to get his hands on Sapphire? The Grand Duchy of Sapphire that had dominated the sea for more than 150 years was not a small country that could be easily bullied.
For the time being, no one could provide an answer.
In Black Horse Island and Flower Town, only A Qi knew of Liszt's identity as a Dragon Knight.
However, A Qi didn't know much about politics and couldn't give Liszt any advice.
Moreover, there was another person on Coral Island who knew his identity. Therefore, the puzzled Liszt was going to have a good chat with the Oxtail Marquis, Leewilliam.
However, when he arrived at Tulip Castle, he learned that the Marquis had gone to Iron Hoof Island to take over his new fief.
"Then let A Qi take me to Iron Hoof Island." Without any hesitation, Liszt let A Qi take him to Iron Hoof Island.
The distance between Coral Island and Iron Hoof Island was four days' sailing, but for A Qi, it was only an hour's walk.
The scallop served as a submarine.
Liszt and A Qi lay down side by side, chatting and resting for a while. After a while, they arrived at Iron Hoof Island hundreds of kilometers away. Oxtail City was the main city of Oxtail Territory. It was a large coastal city with a castle that once belonged to the Bull Family – Oxtail Castle.
The Bull Family was very rough in naming.
The island was called Iron Hoof Island. Because of their fondness for 'bulls', all the cities were named after the parts of the bull. Horns, hooves, tails, tendons, loins, hair, legs, ribs, etc. Every city had an attached castle. Of course, they were not as majestic as Oxtail Castle in Iron Hoof City.
These cities and castles that were not given to followers were mainly used as vacation residences for the Bull Family. Therefore, Oxtail Castle was even more shabby than Tulip Castle.
Of course.
Although Oxtail Castle was shabby, in addition to the main city, Oxtail Territory, there were two large cities, Oxtail City and Oxtail City, as well as ten small cities. So the Tulip family had acquired three named castles, and ten castles of different sizes attached to the cities.
At this moment, the red Tulip flag on Oxtail Castle signified that this place belonged to the Tulip family.
The guards in Oxtail Castle were very lax. It was not until Liszt brought A Qi to the gate that a pair of patrolling Knight discovered them. Seeing that it was Liszt, the Knight hurriedly came forward and saluted before welcoming the two into the castle.
The butler, Silva, hurried over and said in fear and trepidation: "I am very sorry, Young Master Liszt, Miss Acheroides, we did not know that you would be coming today, so the castle is in a mess and has not been properly tidied up. We did not even arrange for a servant to guard the door, we have truly neglected you."
"Where's my father?" Liszt didn't care about these details.
"Master and Madam went to Oxtail City to inspect the relocation of the workshops and shops. Young Master and Young Miss, please wait for a moment. I will send servants to Oxtail City to look for Master."
"Okay."
Liszt nodded and took A Qi around Oxtail Castle, looking at the castle. It was the first time he came to Oxtail City and the first time he saw Oxtail Castle. Speaking of which, it was a bit indifferent. A Qi had mastered the technology of fast navigation, but he did not think of coming to Oxtail Castle.
Probably subconsciously, he did not regard the place outside Black Horse Island as his own territory.
After three or five years of dormancy, he would go overseas to build a country. Everything here would not have much to do with him, so he was too lazy to put in any effort. Just as he looked around Oxtail Castle, the Marquis had returned to Oxtail Castle: "Liszt, A Qi, when did you come? Why didn't you say hello in advance?"
"I had a sudden idea to discuss something with you, father, so I came." Liszt replied.
Madam Marie smiled and said: "Go to the study and talk, I will prepare lunch for you." Generally, when it came to matters involving Liszt and his son, she would consciously not be an eyesore and find an excuse to leave.
The study was well furnished. The Marquis had gotten a large number of new books from somewhere and filled the bookshelves.
Liszt had never read these new books, so his hands were itchy. He wanted to take a knife and cut the cover to see if he could find more fighting techniques.
Of course.
He held back, motioned for A Qi to freely look through, and directly talked to the Marquis: "My blood servant found a large number of Black Knight Family vampires sneaking into Iron Hoof Island. It seems that they came with bad intentions."
"Vampires sneaking in?" The Marquis frowned. "What is their purpose?"
"I don't know, but they are not coming for me. They not only did not intend to retaliate when I killed the pureblood, even the patriarch of the Black Knight Family, Rommel, wanted to make friends with me … I suspect that the purpose of the Black Knight Family's action this time was under Alonso's instructions."
"It is possible. Famuer died because of the expansion order. This is a war between countries."
"And I have sent two letters asking for the ransom of the Sky Knight, but there has been no reply from Alonso's side. This is not normal."
"Indeed, although Garcia and Fawkes are only ordinary Sky Knights, they are still young and have the possibility of advancing to Sword Saint. There is no reason to give them up so easily." After listening to Liszt's introduction, the Marquis fell into deep thought. "It is indeed logical to say that Alonso is prepared to recruit you."
"But what confidence does he have that I will give up my position in Sapphire and follow him … Even if he is a Dragon Knight, he is only a Marquis."
If Alonso was a Duke and founded an independent country, he would be qualified to recruit Liszt.
But he was only a Dragon Knight trained by the Eagle Kingdom. If he died, he would have to return the dragon back. He was not qualified to recruit a powerful "ancient warrior inheritance" like Liszt. Could he give Liszt a position in Sapphire? The Grand Duke was prepared to use the title of Marquis to rope him in.
As long as he nodded, the Marquis of Iron Hoof Island would be in his pocket.
As a Bronze Dragon Knight, Alonso Cyclamen sounded very strong, but his title was just a Marquis plus the Count of Lianshan.
"Since the Black Knight Family did not come for you, and Alonso showed signs of recruiting you, does it mean that his target is Sapphire?"
"I suspected so, but what does he have to conquer Sapphire?"
"The Battle of Dragon Slaying?" The Marquis said. Ever since Liszt rode a dragon, he had been thinking about the Battle of Dragon Slaying for a long time. "Is it possible that Alonso is preparing to fight the Grand Duke?"
"Coming overseas alone on a horse, isn't he afraid of being left behind? Even if the Dragon Knight Family is strong, it would be easy for the Sapphire Family to escape. It would not be difficult for them to avoid the attack and stage a comeback."
"What if he is not alone, but with a large number of Orders of Chivalry?" The Marquis suddenly thought, "Back then, you said that the descendants of Marquis Bull had sought refuge with the mainland kingdom, and speculated that Alonso was the backer behind Marquis Bull. Then, with the foundation of the Bull Family, it is completely possible for them to help the Eagle Kingdom build a fleet."
"This …"
Liszt wanted to refute. He had always felt that being alone overseas was very safe. However, what the Marquis said was not without reason. Ever since Marquis Bull defected, shipbuilding technology was no longer exclusive to Sapphire.
The Bull Family had been preparing to slay the dragon for a long time.
This showed that they had long sought refuge with the Eagle Kingdom. After so many years, the Eagle Kingdom had been crazily accumulating ships and training sailors. It was enough to accumulate a large fleet, thousands of ships.
…
As if to confirm the Marquis' guess.
After the lunch.
A Knight riding on World of Warcraft Eagle descended from the sky and landed in Oxtail Castle. He was the Knight of Orders of Chivalry, a direct subordinate of the Grand Duke. This Knight came from Oxfoot City and currently belonged to the Marquis of Quicksand City, Nesta Greatflower Huilan, who was stationed in Oxfoot City. He brought explosive news.
