A huge sand table was built in the hall of Firewood Castle. It was a topographic map of Blazing Island that A Qi spent half a day to make. It was very detailed, and even a small river and a small town were reflected in the sand table.
However, there were some differences between the sand table and the actual terrain — there were seven horizontal and eight vertical rock roads. These were the main transportation routes of the future Blazing Island that Liszt had imagined while looking at the sand table. There were also some amber roads that stored water, canals that connected the rivers, and so on.
On the day of the New Year, Knight, Viscount and nobles from all over Blazing Island, including Yevich who had just returned from a long voyage, and the Moonkiller Tribe Listeners, had all rushed to Firewood Castle to attend the luncheon.
As there were more than a hundred people, the dining hall could not accommodate them all.
Therefore, it was changed to an open-air buffet.
At this moment, everyone was gathered in the hall, looking at the sand table model of Blazing Island and marveling at the model. They had all seen the map of Blazing Islands released by the Guild of Magic, but the map was not as clear as the sand table.
"So this is where we live."
"This is the Blazing Mountain. The Jade Mountain is here, and I work in the Jade City!"
"The Dragon Valley is here. Haha, you can also see the Galena. I'm in charge of this mining area."
"So our Cloud Tribe lives here. But I've already led a team of experts to work in the King's City. Why does it feel so close after walking for so many days?"
"This is a sand table, just like a map. It looks close, but it's actually very far."
"What a miraculous sand table. Only His Excellency Achilles Ides could create such an exquisite treasure."
"I wonder if His Excellency Achilles can make a sand table of the Legendary Continent one day. I can't wait to know how far Blazing Island is from the Legendary Continent."
"It should be about the distance from here to the castle gate."
"Is this a road?"
"It should be a road. Does His Highness want to build a road? Don't we already have a few roads?"
The Oxtail Marquis quickly walked over and greeted everyone. He then explained to the nobles on behalf of Liszt, "Although the development area of Blazing Island is not big, His Highness already has a general plan in mind. These fifteen roads, seven horizontal and eight vertical, will be the main transportation network of Blazing Island in the future …"
Leaving it to his father to send away the nobles who had come to the castle for the lunch banquet, Liszt hid in the study and chatted with A Qi, Chris, Emily, Di Maria, and Sassumit (Holy Tribe Listener).
"At the luncheon today, I'm going to announce a plan to pacify the imbalance of the nobility among the ancient mages. Sorcerers are strictly prohibited from obtaining noble titles, but ancient sorcerers can be a little more flexible, "he said leisurely while sipping the best green tea.
The Development Committee encountered a problem. The Ancient Magicians were not satisfied with the current system of nobility. They wanted to integrate into the system of Knight nobility.
However, the Knight system had excluded mages from the very beginning, and no country had ever conferred knighthood to mages.
The nobles could worship mages and give them good social status, but they would never allow mages to touch the foundation of the ruling class — the nobility system.
The ancient sorcerers among the Moon Killers did not understand the Knight system well, and did not know the opposing relationship between mages and Knight.
In the few times of bestowal, the ancient sorcerers only received material rewards and rewards for their children, but not any rewards related to nobility. This made the ancient sorcerers who were trying to integrate into the Fire Kingdom very resentful, and there were many times when they resisted.
It was better to disperse than to block.
Liszt decided to distinguish the sorcerers from the ancient sorcerers, "Ancient sorcerers can also be bestowed nobility, but their children must practice fighting energy and become a Knight before they can inherit the title. Also, once the ancient sorcerers start a family, they must also change their lifestyle and completely integrate into the Knight system. "
Sassumit, who was also the Holy Tribe Listener Sue, heard this and asked, "Seki …"
"Don't call me Seki anymore. You can call me Your Highness like the other nobles."
"Yes, Your Highness." Sue quickly changed the way she addressed him, "Do you know what it means to change your lifestyle? Most of the ancient sorcerers have adapted to the castle life, but the training system cannot be changed. "
"It's not just training, nor is it just adapting to the castle life, but integrating in all aspects, such as making a suitable surname, believing in the glory of the Knight, abandoning the concept of tribe, participating in the noble society, and so on … Sue, you have to understand that the Moon Killers' life in the forest is very backward, and the Knight system is the bright future."
"I understand, Your Highness. I will try to change my lifestyle, completely integrate into the kingdom, and become a loyal follower of Your Highness."
Sue was a qualified lackey, and he had seen the power of Seki and Biglized, so he was obedient to Liszt.
Seeing this, Liszt smiled, "After three generations, I hope that there will be no titles like Moon Killers, Flame Killers, Eagle Killers, Steel Killers, and so on. All the people living under the protection of the Flame Family will only have one common title — citizens of the Fire Kingdom."
This was pure bullshit.
Based on the color of their skin, the Moon Killers were destined to be discriminated against and be at the bottom.
Di Maria echoed, "Your Highness has great ambitions. The Fire Kingdom will definitely gather a strong sense of unity, and everyone will dedicate their loyalty to the kingdom and the Flame Family."
…
The luncheon ended with the cheers of the original tribes of the Moon Killers.
The first batch of Moon Killer nobles was about to be born, and they would enjoy the same treatment as the Knight nobles, except that their children would need to learn Battle Energy well before they could inherit the title.
When these Knight and ancient sorcerers left Firewood Fort and returned to their respective castles.
Only Liszt's family, A Qi, Emily, Chris, Paris, and the twins, Lucy and Ruth, were left in Firewood Fort.
This made Emily a little disappointed. Originally, she thought that His Highness had only invited her. She did not expect Paris to be there too — she did not care about Chris, the president of the Guild of Magic, nor did she dare to care about A Qi, the Magic Shooter. However, she was quite concerned about Paris, who was once rumored to be the lover of the Lord.
Vaguely, the way they looked at Paris was tinged with hostility.
Paris, on the other hand, only looked at Emily with a normal attitude. She had already spent the New Year with Liszt more than once. As Liszt's strength and status grew, she had long hidden her love for him in her heart, and considered herself a loyal follower — of course, if the Lord needed her, she was ready to offer her body at any time.
As for Chris, she might have some love for Liszt, but her mind was more immersed in the truth.
Lucy and Ruth were brought over by A Qi. She admired the twins very much, and had the intention of taking them in as disciples and teaching them seriously. Of course, the twins were more like two servants to A Qi, helping A Qi with some of the chores that she did not like.
In fact, Liszt had originally invited the vice president of the Guild of Magic, Kenley, but Kenley could not leave. The mages in the Guild of Magic were basically single dogs. They did not have the concept of family, and naturally did not have the idea of celebrating the New Year. They still did their experiments during the holidays, so they could not do without her and Chris's management.
Chris went to Firewood Fort, so she stayed on duty.
"It's really enviable." Looking at the few women chatting with Liszt in the living room, Levis, who was tightly controlled by Rolia, could not help but exclaim in admiration.
The few women here were all people of high status in the Fire Kingdom. They were both beautiful and powerful, and were the targets of love for countless Knight. However, they were all spending the New Year's Day in Firewood Fort.
They laughed heartily at the few cold jokes that Liszt said, which were almost not funny at all.
As for him.
Even when he had a lover outside, he had to be secretive, afraid that Rolia would find out.
Too embarrassed to enter the living room, he left quietly. When he turned around, he could not help but mutter to himself, "Can you do whatever you want just because you have a dragon?"
