Chapter 0035 - Self-Reliant Knight Qualities
What the maid was thinking, Liszt did not know.
I never thought of being like most nobles, in someone else's castle, to have an irresponsible mess. He is now only sixteen years old, just an adult.
According to the laws of his hometown, he can only be considered an adult at the age of eighteen, and he can only get married at the age of twenty-two.
It's good to grow your body with peace of mind now, and there is no need to think too much about it, which will hurt your energy. The former was a waste wood, but now Liszt is very confident to impact the Sky Knight, after all, his understanding is not bad, and he has the help of the smoke mission. Maybe you can ride a dragon and become a dragon knight in the future.
The combat power at the top of this world is the dragon knight, an existence that destroys the world at every turn.
"The cultivation of "Fire Dragon Diamond" and "Flame Wave" cannot be stopped, although I can avoid going to the battlefield, but the ability to protect myself must be practiced at all times. ”
......
The luncheon is a family banquet in the castle of long taro, and the number of people attending the table is not large. The Messiro couple were in charge of taxes in the field, and there were only two masters in the castle - the rules of the castle of taro, the captain of the knights did not eat at the castle, and the tutor of Mayopal had already gone to the city to become an official.
Therefore, sitting around the dining table are only the grandparents and three siblings.
The Marquis of Merlin was in a wheelchair and had difficulty walking. The food in the castle is a grade higher than that in the Tulip Castle, as evidenced by the bread on the plate, which is the finest white bread.
Liszt picked up a piece of white bread and took a bite, it was soft and crispy, with a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth texture, almost not like bread, but cake.
The wine is the cellar wine of Lazi Lodge, which is a higher grade of luxury wine than Crescent wine.
As the plate is lifted one by one, the pudding roast beef, salmon in golden sauce, hill sandpiper eggs, meat jelly rock lobster with mayonnaise, roast goose with lettuce salad, cheese meat pie, asparagus leaves, trout in lobster sauce, the richness can be compared to the major holiday banquet of Tulip Castle.
However, the dishes are plentiful, but the atmosphere is stiff.
The marquis is a serious person, and he has been in charge of the navy, so it can be said that he is full of aura. Levi and Li Weiwei couldn't let go in front of the marquis, and spoke carefully.
Liszt is also somewhat restrained, mentally he doesn't think a group of "ancients" are anything remarkable, but in fact, with strangers, he can't be at ease.
So it's better to try to eat something delicious, and it's more important.
Especially the mayonnaise meat jelly rock lobster.
It's delicious.
He had already finished one plate, and ordered another plate.
"The rock lobster is produced in the sea area of Red Crab Island, and the family fleet rarely goes out to sea to fish, and some fishermen take the risk to fish, and the yield is not high, and almost all of them are sent to the castle. Mei Opal took a small bite of bread and said, "If you like it, I'll have someone prepare a batch of live shrimp for you." ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy to transport, it's too far from the fort of taro to my flower town. I need to walk half a day to Red Crab Island, take a day by boat, and walk half a day to Flower Town, and count accommodation and other delays, at least five days to return. ”
"In fact, rock lobsters are very easy to feed, as long as they are dipped in water every day, they themselves have the blood of sea monsters and splendid lobsters, and they are not easy to die. ”
Sea monsters, that is, magical beasts in the sea.
Naturally, Liszt would not object: "Thank you very much." ”
"You're welcome. May Opal smiled, the three siblings of the Tulip family, he was closer to Liszt, probably because of his appearance, or because of his likeness, he was always friends with handsome people.
The Marquis heard the conversation between the two and suddenly said, "Liszt, tell me the story of Flower Town." ”
"Grandpa, life in Flower Town is actually lackluster. ”
"The customs and living environment can be talked about. ”
"Well, in a town with less than 2,000 people, new tulips were first discovered, so my father migrated to build the flower town. Now it is mainly wheat cultivation, the land is relatively poor, and there are few taxes. Luckily, however, a new variety of tulip potion has grown in the town, which can bring new development. ”
"A new variety of potion, that's a good thing. The Marquis asked, "Tulip Castle paid a large sum of gold for this potion?"
"It's a share, the town can't plant too much, I made an agreement with my brothers and sisters to plant together, but they need to give me 30% of the income. ”
"Well, it's an interesting collaboration, and it's worth more than a gold coin. Liszt, you have inherited not only the beauty of Melissa, but also the shrewdness of the taro family. ”
The shrewdness of the long taro family is very famous in the Grand Duchy.
The reason lies in the marquis's father, the previous marquis, who was only an earl at that time. Because the Grand Duchy was preparing to go to the mainland to compete for minerals, it was in urgent need of funds to arm the Knights. So the earl scattered his wealth to support the actions of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, and finally exchanged for the position of Red Crab Island and the Marquis.
Now, the income of Red Crab Island every year is probably more generous than the Earl's scattered family wealth at the beginning.
A great deal.
"Flower Town is just a small town, and I need to earn money to keep the castle going. ”
"Self-reliance, this is the quality of a good nobleman. ”
Courage, courtesy, loyalty, self-reliance...... There are a lot of qualities on the lips of the aristocracy, the most unworthy of which is self-reliance, basically a group of vampires who oppress ordinary people, and they don't even know what a hoe looks like since they were young.
Of course, the self-reliance in the mouth of the marquis probably means that you can "rely on yourself to squeeze" without having to ask for it from home.
......
The luncheon was followed by a dinner party.
After the dinner was rested, and the next day there was another luncheon, after which May Opal was busy, for according to the Marquis's instructions, he intended to hold a grand ball to-night to gather the young nobles and men of the nearby towns.
The aristocratic ball can be simply seen as a blind date meeting.
In particular, the second and third sons of those nobles were most enthusiastic about participating in this kind of ball. The eldest son can inherit his father's title and not worry about finding a marriage partner, while the second and third sons need to work hard to marry a white rich beauty, so that they can continue to enjoy the aristocratic life.
Otherwise, from generation to generation, they will eventually become ordinary knights and fall out of the aristocratic class.
Female aristocrats are also keen on balls, and not every young lady can marry the eldest son of the noble, and they also need to target those who have potential to develop their charm.
"Liszt, you need to prepare!" Mei Opal brought a large number of dresses with a personal valet, "These are all dresses that I haven't worn, you and I are about the same size, they must suit you." ”
"Cousin, there's no need to try one by one, I think this one on me is very good. ”
"No, it must be perfected, you have to think, I arranged for the knight to send a notice yesterday that at least thirteen of the nobles of the small towns have been invited and can come to the ball. How many beautiful ladies will be waiting to conclude a good relationship with you and achieve a beautiful encounter. ”
"I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to get married. Liszt was a little speechless, why didn't he find out before that this cousin was so keen on being old, "You should dress up my sister, she is of marriageable age, and my brother, he also needs to find a suitable hostess candidate for Tulip Castle." ”
"They don't need me to remind them, Levi has borrowed a lot of dresses early, and Li Weiwei has been dressing up since the morning, haven't you noticed?"
"Yes. ”
Liszt really didn't pay attention, and in his leisure time he was busy reading the books in the castle of Long Taro, and during the banquet he was only concerned with the food.
