Chapter 0032 Brigs on the Sea
Cities are not worth looking forward to, only castles are worth looking forward to - the aristocracy is still hygienic, there are bathrooms and toilets, and there are servants who carry excrement and garbage outside the castle.
Because no one knows how to fertilize the fields with manure, they are all discarded in the wild and weathered naturally.
Efficient use of manure to fertilize fields can definitely reduce the dependence on elves – just less, because elves also have the ability to improve crop traits.
As the brigs sail on the blue sea, Coral City has gradually disappeared from view, and the tulip fort on the top of the hill has begun to fall from the sea level.
This seems to prove that the world, also a spherical?
Liszt occasionally wondered what was going on in the world he had crossed, but there was no information to deduce any conclusions.
"My lord, what are you looking at?" said Marcus.
"Look at the sea, the blue sea, hidden countless treasures. ”
"I grew up by the sea, and I don't have such a beautiful reverie about the sea, there are sea monsters in the sea, maybe some fish, but there are fish in the rivers and lakes, and they are not dangerous. The wealth on the mainland is truly abundant and inexhaustible. The glory of knights and nobles was also fought over on the mainland. ”
The Grand Duchy of Sapphire is an archipelago country, but it has never given up its conquest of the mainland, and every few years it organizes knights to go to the mainland to compete for minerals.
Created a group of nobles.
The Tulip family also originated here, and Marcus had no less dreams, and went to the mainland to participate in the war, and was awarded the title of Lord and Knight for his merits.
Now that he is determined to play for Liszt, he will naturally bewitch Liszt from time to time.
Liszt still looked at the deep sea, and did not care about the "theory of continental wealth", the battlefield is so dangerous, why should he go! How good it is to be a country lord quietly, do tasks, plant fields, and fight steadily step by step. If it is a simple crossing, he doesn't feel that he can stand out among the natives, but with the help of the smoke mission, strength is just around the corner.
As for what the smoke mission is, its secrets will be unlocked one day.
"Mr. Marcus, I heard that outside of the archipelago of the Grand Duchy, there are large desert islands that have not been developed?"
"Yes, I've talked to some of the old crew, there are a lot of islands outside the archipelago, but those islands are in the deep sea, and there are frequent storms, and there are many reefs, and it is difficult for ships to get around, so there is no development value. ”
"Maybe. ”
Liszt said undeniably.
Not to mention that, as long as the distant-water fishing industry develops, the riches of the sea will be revealed, and the islands will be contested as much as the land.
He can't do it now, he's just the lord of a small country town, and he'll talk about it.
"Sail ahead!"
"Sail ahead!"
The roar of the crew was heard from under the mast, and at this time the south wind was blowing from the stern of the ship, and the hunting sound. The captain decisively ordered the sailors to raise the sails and gain more wind power.
The emergence of sailboats has allowed humans to enter a larger sea area, and the fleet of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is basically all sailboats, but they are all sails, and there are no schooners yet. The advantage of a crosssail is that it is fast when it is downwind, and the disadvantage is that it is almost ineffective when it is upwind, and it requires paddling.
At this time, with the wind downwind, the fleet raised its sails one by one, forming a triangular phalanx on the sea, which was spectacular.
Departing in the morning, we arrived at Red Crab Island in the evening.
Red Crab Island is ten times the size of Coral Island, and the Long Taro Fort is not by the sea, but halfway up the mountain range in the middle of the island. So after getting off the boat, Liszt and the others had to stay in the dock city of Sea Crab City for one night, then change to a horse-drawn carriage and drive for one day, and only on the third day could they reach the fort of Long Taro.
The training pigeons have not yet produced letters, and the weight of the thick paper is not yet available to the pigeons.
However, because the knight had been arranged to send a letter before, saying that the children of the Tulip family would come to visit in the near future. Therefore, the castle of long taro is in the annex of Sea Crab City, and there are servants specially arranged to wait, and after receiving Liszt and his party, they immediately arranged to live in the courtyard, so that they do not have to stay in the dirty city.
After a meal in the evening, Liszt took a shower and went to bed.
He was a little seasick.
In my hometown, I am used to doing airplanes and trains, but I am really not used to taking ships. Fortunately, he was an islander and had a good water nature, so he overcame it a little and didn't get completely seasick.
"As an islander, you get seasick, Liszt, I have to say you're losing the face of the Tulip family. I thought you were mature, but I didn't expect you to be so unbearable, thinking of your cowardly behavior before, it's really my stupid brother. Li Weiwei appeared in Liszt's room at some point.
There was no knock on the door.
This surprised Liszt, for he was observing his smoke snake inscriptions—often coming out to see if anything new was to be discovered.
But soon he settled down, because Li Weiwei didn't seem to be able to see the smoke snake text, which was only visible to Liszt himself, so he didn't have to worry about leaks.
"You forgot to knock on the door. ”
"Didn't I knock, it doesn't matter. Li Weiwei clasped her hands on her chest and stared at Liszt, expressing her disdain.
"It's important to me that you're not respecting my privacy, and you're doing that, and it's unladylike. Aristocrats love ladies, dear sisters. ”
"I don't need to change myself in order to curry favor with any nobleman! Besides, Liszt, when do I need your advice for me? If it weren't for Red Crab Island, I would really teach you a good lesson and let you understand that being promoted to Earth Knight is nothing!"
Liszt has been bullied by Li Weiwei since he was a child.
He believes that the root cause is that Li Weiwei is jealous of his appearance, which is handsome enough to put most women to shame.
"Are you coming here just to tell me I'm weak?"
"Just want to see how ugly you are seasick. ”
"So you see, can you please come back? ”
Li Weiwei glared at him fiercely, turned and walked away. Liszt got up and locked the door, the other party was nineteen years old, still a young girl, and his behavior was really unpredictable.
I don't care too much, Li Weiwei in my memory is such a sassy, or reckless and frivolous person.
The Earl often lamented that he and Li Weiwei should change their temperament.
One is more showy than a girl, and the other is more dancing than a boy.
Lying down again, Liszt couldn't sleep a little, so he had to think of something boring: "Five months ago, I came to the castle of taro once as a visit for the New Year's Festival. At that time, the Marquis of Merlin was not on the island, and was still the captain of the palace fleet, and he had not officially met for about four or five years. ”
Given the aristocratic monogamy, the family was often not so prosperous.
The Marquis of Merlin had a son and two daughters, the third daughter Melissa had died, and the second daughter Melinda married Roland Songguo, a follower of the Marquis and Viscount of Long Wai Island. There is only one heir, the eldest son, Messiro Long Taro, and Messiro also has only one only son, Mei Opal Long Taro.
"Cousin May Opal...... It seems that she is almost twenty-five years old, and she is not married yet? It seems that she is pursuing the daughter of the Grand Duke of Sapphire? This princess of a small country is a courtesan. ”
Grand Duchy, a vassal state of an empire and kingdom, and the title of the supreme ruler is the Grand Duke. Strictly speaking, if you are not a king, your daughter cannot be called a princess. What's more, the newly enthroned Grand Duke of Sapphire has been demoted to a duke because he can't become a dragon knight.
In the aristocratic system, a prince, a grand duke, and a duke are a level of titles, but only when you become a knight can you be made a prince or grand duke, otherwise you can only be a duke.
However, the rules are dead, people are alive, and in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, all the nobles call the ruler the Grand Duke, and his daughter is naturally regarded as a princess and is sought after.
Liszt thought maliciously: "In case May Opal marries a princess, it is very likely that she will find out that the child is not her own...... Hehe. ”
