The mission failed.

The smoke mission, which had been smooth sailing, suffered failure for the first time, and as early as the beginning of the discovery of the smoke mission, Liszt thought about what would happen if the mission failed.

However, he is afraid of leading to an unpredictable end, and he has been trying to complete the task, or change the task. Coupled with the huge rewards of those tasks, I really can't afford to let it fail. Even this time, the tulip worm evolves, and Liszt does not want to fail.

However, he still failed, he stared at the smoke snake that had begun to change, and his eyes did not blink.

Waiting for the latest changes.

Slowly.

The distorted smoke began to form a new snake text: "Mission: When you are done with it, bad luck will take its place, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, but you must learn to grow in the face of adversity, like a petrel to meet a storm, please defeat the bats in the dark night." Reward: Bloody Mary. ”

"Huh?"

"Still have a mission?"

"Good use, bad luck takes its place?" Liszt was surprised, he thought about whether the smoke mission would leave him away, or cause serious injuries to him, but he didn't expect that just a few words to express "good luck" to "bad luck", and then ask to defeat the bats in the night.

After the task is completed, there are still rewards, and there are basically no changes.

He was a little disappointed and inexplicably relieved - he was happy with the form of the smoke mission and didn't want anything to change.

Forthwith.

His attention was focused on the task: "What is a bat in the dark night, and what is a Bloody Mary? I think I've heard of a Bloody Mary, it seems to be a cocktail? I remember that in many movies, there is a cocktail called Bloody Mary, is this to give me a new drink recipe?" ”

Bloody Mary has been interpreted and is a cocktail.

As for the bats in the dark night, Liszt didn't quite understand them, he thought they were some kind of bat-like magical beasts, or was it a vampire?

Among the knights, there are stories involving vampires who can turn into special humans who can turn into bats. Wraiths, lichs, and krakens have all been proven to exist, and he believes that vampires are absolutely present - in Curtis Truth's notes, "vampires" are also listed alongside magicians.

Seems to be a special kind of spellcaster, just like the druids.

"So, could it be that some vampire carries the recipe for the Bloody Mary cocktail and asks me to kill the recipe?" As a half-step dragon knight, as long as the dragon knight does not come to kill, he is not afraid of any challenge.

"When will the bats in the dark come?"

He waited until the second half of the night, and did not wait for the bats in the night, the Magic Eye patrolled around, and even rode the landing bird Loki, and walked around, still not finding a suspicious night bat.

I didn't sleep very well this night.

But it wasn't until dawn the next day that he led the Knights to the Tulip Castle, and still didn't wait for the bats in the dark night. He didn't wait any longer, maybe the bats in the dark night would attack him on the way—as for the attack on the territory, Liszt could only hope that Paris, Chriss, and Acker would stop it.

He had already told his butler Carter that if the territory was in any danger, he would immediately escort the elves to the castle by the sea, and continued to blow the horn he had specially placed. When the time comes, Ark, who hears the sound of the trumpet, will protect these elves, believing that the elves hiding in the water can survive safely.

Protecting the elves is equivalent to protecting most of the territory.

......

Coral City Harbor, fleet departure.

Liszt did not follow the Count any more on the Tulip family's largest three-masted galleon, the Tulip, and he stayed on his Sunset, enjoying the comfort of the thermostat. Until arriving at Cowhoof City, the smoke mission was still unmoving, and the bats in the dark night showed no signs of their whereabouts.

"I've talked to Ake, and if there is an attack territory like a vampire, she will quickly come and notify me if she protects the elves...... With Ake's speed and strength, there should be no danger in the sea, and if there is a situation, he should have rushed to tell me...... It should be fine. ”

Black Horse Island is a four-day voyage from Oxteer City, and at the speed of Ake, it can be reached in half a day.

Even if you go from Black Horse Island to the mainland, it will take less than a day.

Therefore, if Ark did not appear, he did not worry about the territory.

The port of Ironhoof City was bustling with activity, and almost all the nobles of the Grand Duchy participated in the opening order. The fleets of the great nobles were so dense that the entire port was overwhelmed. The Count was going to a meeting, and Liszt didn't have many familiar nobles, so he just hung out around the city of Cowhoof.

And soon after, I heard that there was an elf insect trade in the trading market of Oxteer City - it was rare for domestic nobles to gather together, so naturally this opportunity could not be wasted.

Liszt, who is bored, will not miss it either.

He put on a mask and pinned a special dried tulip flower to his chest to ward off the stench of Oxteer City, and led his servants into the market.

"Viscount Liszt, it's you. Liszt was strolling through the market when he was greeted by someone who turned his head to see that it was Jobs Primrose, son of Jonas Evening Primrose, Earl of Moonlight City.

"Sir Jobs, you're also visiting the market?"

"yes, I'm going to see if there's any elf bug trade. Jobs was very sociable, and immediately introduced several young men to Liszt who were with him, all of whom were noble heirs of the Blue Blood Alliance.

Unlike the fiefdom nobles, the noble heirs of the Blue Blood Alliance will basically go to the battlefield to experience training as adults. Although the casualty rate is relatively high, the speed of promotion is much faster than that of fiefdom nobles. Basically, their resources are either rewarded by the Grand Duke or plundered from the battlefield.

The proportion of income from fiefdom operation is very small.

The Blue Blood Alliance and the fiefdom nobles are not a social circle, and the young nobles rarely communicate with each other, but Liszt, as the youngest sky knight in the country, has a first-class bluffing effect. Several young aristocrats who followed Jobs politely saluted.

Liszt also politely returned the salute, not looking arrogant or enthusiastic.

After saying hello.

After a few words, they dispersed without further communication. Liszt continued to look for elven worms in the market, but there were too few elven worms worth buying, and it was rare to see a barley worm that had not yet been contracted, and the seller asked for 4,500 gold coins when he opened his mouth, and he would not let go.

Buying barley worms for four thousand five hundred gold coins is a very stupid act, even if it is an elven worm that can grow potions, it may not be worth this price.

Liszt did not force it.

He didn't have barley-like potions, and he lost a lot of money when he bought them. And the death of the tulip worm also alerted him to the fact that it was not because he got the smoke quest that his elf worm had no chance of evolutionary failure - he even decided to give up his stimulus plan for Zyra.

The evolution of the elf to the elf also has a great probability of failure - although it will not die like a tulip worm, it is certain that the vitality will be greatly damaged and the life span will be lost.

So he wants to go with the flow.

I no longer think of interfering with the evolution of elves, but just provide them with pheromones and the like as much as possible to help them increase the probability of success in their own evolution.

......

In the evening, he accompanied the Count to a dinner party convened by the Grand Prince.

At the banquet, he was once again praised by everyone because of the youngest sky knight in the country. Rao tried his best to avoid it, or got drunk, and with the support of his servants, he returned to the Sunset and fell asleep.
