Melissa's past with Madame Penelope is already an old story of the castle.

Penelopeff counts Melissa, believing that Melissa can't tolerate her. With her back to the Marquis, she couldn't afford to provoke her, so she had to move out of Tulip Castle.

Liszt, however, felt that it was actually Madame Penelope who was too mean—more than a decade had passed, and she was still babbling and complaining.

Moreover, after more than ten years, Melissa died, and Madame Penelope still did not move in, because she was at odds with the new countess and daughter-in-law.

"You're lucky to be back today, the Baron's daughter isn't in the castle, otherwise I'll be the first to turn around and leave. There was a smell on that woman that made me uncomfortable, and your father could tolerate her. Now the whole castle smelled of her, and I felt sick for a moment. ”

Li Weiwei sat next to Mrs. Penelope, and when she heard this, she wrapped her arm, changed her usual force, and said in a coquettish tone: "Grandmother, you don't like Tulip Castle, you can come to my Falcon Town, I have a very beautiful manor, and a hot spring, you will definitely like it." ”

"My little girl, as a lady of the nobility, must have a sitting appearance, look at you, you are nineteen years old this year, and you haven't found a satisfactory other half, but the lady is not enough. ”

"Grandmother is right, Li Weiwei, you have to learn to be a lady, not to carry a horse like us. Levi laughed, and then said to Mrs. Penelope, "Grandmother, if you think the castle smells bad, I can put more fragrance." ”

"This is not something that can be solved by the deodorant, and the two women before and after entering the house have exhausted me, and I don't want to come to the castle at all if it is not necessary. Madame Penelope said, turning her head again, and said to Louis, the butler who was standing beside her, "Louis, you will help me to pass these words to the daughter of the baron's family, right?" ”

It smells very provocative.

Louis smiled gently: "You know, old lady, I prefer to keep my mouth shut. ”

"Uninteresting Louis, from young to old, is so boring. ”

Ever since Madame Penelope entered the castle, the whole conversation had been centered on her, and of course, eighty percent of the conversation was also spoken by herself.

Liszt just smiled awkwardly and politely.

It was not until the Count returned from outside, and announced that it was time for the dinner to begin, that Liszt was relieved of the atmosphere that had made him very uncomfortable.

The dinner at Tulip Castle is obviously not comparable to the dinner in the small castle of Flower Town.

The number of people alone cannot be compared.

At tonight's dinner, the nobles in the castle were basically seated, including the earl's family, the tutor, the knight captain, and several earl's followers who were guests in the castle, a total of sixteen nobles, lords, knights, barons, viscounts, and counts.

At the banquet, there was Mrs. Penelope, who naturally did not stay cold, and kept chatting all the time.

Liszt was intently enjoying his food, and although he had never been accustomed to Western style of eating, the food here was delicious compared to the rough food of Flower Town. He didn't participate much in the conversation, and few people came to talk to him, and he became a little transparent in the castle just like he remembered in his predecessor.

However, I tried to interject but couldn't.

Now I don't want to intervene at all, after all, he is just a traverser who borrows the corpse to resurrect his soul, and he can't integrate himself into the tulip family, so he can only look at all this calmly like a bystander, do things that are in line with the times in a low-key manner, and then bury his head in development - maybe one day, there is no need to be low-key, do whatever he wants.

......

The day after the dinner, Liszt got up early, because the three siblings had to set off with the fleet to visit their sick grandfather, the Marquis Merlin Changtar, on Red Crab Island.

"Sincere greetings for me. The Count also got up early to have breakfast with his three children.

As a son-in-law, he should have visited in person, but his current identity is a former son-in-law, and he is estranged from the Changtaro family, so it is inconvenient to visit him again.

Madame Penelope had already returned from her walk, and her tone was gloomy: "Levi, Livivi, Liszt, by the way, greetings to the Marquis of Merlin on my behalf." In my memory, it was a handsome and dashing nobleman, with a strong and outstanding body, but I didn't expect that a few years later, he was so sick that he couldn't work, and even the position of captain of the palace fleet was relieved. ”

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the rules of operation between heaven and earth, and you don't have to mind, mother. ”

"Are you trying to tell me that I'm a damn old woman, too?"

"Why do you think that, I wish you lived past a hundred years. ”

"From the two women you married, it can be seen that you have long hoped that I would die, so that you will be quiet. No one bothered you to do anything on Coral Island. ”

The Count could only smile awkwardly and politely.

Liszt took Marcus with him, followed by a valet from the castle, who was responsible for helping him carry his luggage. After saying goodbye, the three siblings walked together to the docks, which are part of Coral City. Speaking of a city, Liszt prefers to call it a "large toilet", and the streets and alleys are filled with the sour smell of fermented feces.

Because of this, the tulip family produces a tulip with a strong aroma and is widely popular among the public.

Citizens who travel will pin a tulip to their chest to dilute the disgusting smell of the street.

The smell of feces aside.

A big city like Coral City is not as majestic as a small county town in Liszt's hometown.

There are no high-rise buildings or mansions, just scattered wooden houses next to stone houses, which continue to expand into the distance along the streets of different widths and narrows. There are all kinds of shops along the street, and it is inevitable that people in a hurry will trample on all kinds of excrement – citizens always like to dump their excrement on the road.

If it's a piece of shit, you can of course choose to avoid it.

But if a street is full of shit, frowning and stepping on it is the right way to open it.

As a result, layer upon layer of feces, after continuous trampling, blends with the road surface, creating a unique "road" in the city, which naturally carries a stench.

Why is hygiene so poor?

Because the commoners were too busy to make ends meet, they didn't care about hygiene, and the nobles lived in castles on the edge of the city, and they didn't care about the mess in the city.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Coral City is only a city on the island, with a limited population, and the scale of the feces and urine produced is still bearable under the constant weathering of nature.

If it's a larger city, I'm afraid that feces and urine can flood the city.

"Could it be that the elves' abilities have limited their horizons, and they can't think of using dung to farm?" Liszt's mind opened as he looked at Coral City, "Maybe I can collect the dung from the island and pull it all to Flower Town, where I can ...... No, build a couple of digesters on the outskirts of the town. ”

He understands the principle of the biogas digester, but it is a bit difficult to use biogas combustion for lighting and cooking.

After simple fermentation, it is the quickest way to fertilize the fields, and the barren soil of Flower Town, which is comparable to the yellow earth, is indeed in urgent need of fertilizer.

"It's just that the transportation is inconvenient, and the cost of pulling the manure in the carriage is more valuable than the dung...... Forget it, don't pollute my flower town, just produce and sell the feces in the town. ”
