As Livira and Mrs. Penelope returned from their burlesques, the long-lost family feast at Tulip Castle began.

Talk about interesting things, make fun of war and peace, the atmosphere is not very harmonious, or full of family flavor, but it is not bad either.

Mrs. Penelope and Mrs. Marry, in particular, exchanged a few words with guns and sticks from time to time, which livened up the atmosphere.

The earl sat in the middle, looking a little embarrassed, the eternal topic of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discord, no matter what world it is, is the most troublesome problem for men.

Compared with the previous little transparency, the current Liszt is gradually adapting to his identity and is no longer transparent.

You can participate in all kinds of topics, and you are more and more comfortable with this kind of communication between nobles - sometimes, once people get into their own horns, they feel that the whole world is turning away from them, but when they get out of the horns, they will find that the world is there, and they will never abandon it.

"Is this a specialty of Flower Town?" the Earl ate crispy peanuts with juniper wine, and the more he ate it, the more he felt it, "The peanuts are delicious when they do this." ”

"It's crispy peanuts. "I brought a lot of peanut flavors, but most of them were more suitable as snacks. ”

"I didn't expect to have such a way to eat this kind of food besides boiling peanuts, is Tulip Castle buying?" asked the Earl, Lady Mary.

"If you like to eat, you can buy some, Liszt's flower caravan seems to sell this peanut food in Coral City?"

"Yes, basically where there are flower caravans, there are these goods. ”

The earl nodded: "Then buy more, I feel that the taste is okay, especially after drinking, I feel very comfortable after eating a few peanuts." ”

Peanuts caught the earl's attention.

The exquisite new bread in Flower Town was also presented on the table and won the love of everyone. Add to that the egg soup and scrambled eggs that the chefs of Fort Tulip learned from Mrs. Abbey, and the seafood that has become unavailable to the aristocrats of Coral Island, and the delicacies offered by Flower Town occupy a third of the table.

Levi's munched on a hamburger with pieces of meat, which was also an invention of Flowertown, and said, "Liszt, you have a good cook, I never knew that bread and eggs can make such different dishes." ”

"It's a pity that the food is not of much commercial value, otherwise I would have been richer than Viscount Trik. ”

The common people did not pursue the variety of food, and the aristocracy preferred to let their own cooks learn to cook rather than buy ready-made food - the most important thing is that the source of these foods, there is no monopoly, they are all commonplace, and everyone can collect them.

Viscount Trick of Beer Island, with his own humulus elves, has a monopoly on the most important hops (humulus) for brewing beer, so he can monopolize the sale of fine beer.

Egg soup, scrambled eggs, seafood, peanuts, only one idea is missing.

These foods were more invented by Mrs. Abi in order to satisfy Liszt's stomach, and by the way, before others learned it, to make some money.

What can really do business is an industry with a monopoly nature.

For example, beer with a monopoly on raw materials, soap and liquor with a monopoly on technology, and cement, ceramics, glass, and white paper that will be developed in the future - this is where Liszt's hope lies.

......

After afternoon tea, Liszt walked around Coral City.

I first went to the Knight Academy, met with the familiar students in the academy, and contacted the gradually estranged feelings. By the way, show your ambitions, hoping that these future earth knights will take themselves into account when they choose to follow the lord.

Then I went to Frank's house and chatted with little Shirley for an hour, and the friendship of my youth still had to be considered, and it couldn't be too ruthless.

Then, I visited a few friends in Coral City.

They are all aristocratic teenagers, mostly the second sons in the family - before they were minors, those teenagers who were destined to inherit the title liked to chase Levi, so Liszt's friends were mostly second sons like him - now it is similar, the nobles who want to attack the lord will still follow Levi's, and the second son who cannot attack the lord will pin their hopes on Liszt.

"Sir Liszt, are you going to form your own squad of knights?"

In a small aristocratic manor, a young man named Rick asked Liszt, who was sitting on the throne: "I see Rondo, has he become your follower?"

"It's not decided yet, but it's coming soon, after the New Year's Festival, I will seriously consider forming a knight team, and Flower Town already has the ability to arm a knight team. Lasse and Rondo may be loyal to me when I form a squad of knights. Liszt replied.

"So, can I follow you, I want to join your knight squad, I want to go to war!" Rick asked wistfully.

"You've become a Knight of the Earth?"

Rick's tone was a little smug and a little reserved: "Yes, just a month ago, albeit a little late, I was nineteen years old this year. ”

"Of course, I'm glad you can think of following me. But I hope you'll live in Flower Town for a while after the New Year, like Rondo, and wait until I form a squad of knights before making a decision. Liszt did not agree on the spot, it was the previous reason - the knight chose the lord, and the lord also chose the knight.

Another half-year-old young man followed up and asked, "What about me, can I follow you, I haven't broken through the Earth Knight yet." ”

His name is Nemo, and his father is an elite Earth Knight who has not been awarded a knighthood.

Liszt smiled: "It's definitely not okay to join the knight squad, but if you are willing to come to Flower Town as an official, I welcome you." All of you can come to Flower Town, you are one of the few friends I have. A few months ago, he didn't want to pay attention to this group of friends.

After all, it was a friend of the predecessor, not his friend.

"But it seems that there are already Galtai and Isaiah in Flower Town, and are there any official positions we can hold?" Nemo asked.

"You don't think I'm going to stay in Flower Town for the rest of my life, do you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sir Liszt, I didn't mean that, of course you're going to become a viscount, it's inevitable, everyone is sure. ”

"No need to apologize Nemo, becoming a viscount is my goal, and having my own island fief or city fief is also my goal. To achieve this, I need a loyal following, and if you have an idea, I'd love to welcome you to Flower Town. ”

Looking at the already dark sky, he got up and said, "I'm going back, there is still a dinner party to attend at Tulip Castle, and tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet at Tulip Castle and invite everyone and friends from the Knight Academy to come and attend." ”

Rick shouted, "I'll be on time, Sir." ”

"Me too. Nemo and the others spoke one after another.

Leston nodded, put on the cloak handed by the valet Thomas, left the noble manor, and returned to the Tulip Castle in the cold wind, surrounded by the knights.
