Chapter 0030: Mrs. Penelope's Welcome
History does not exist, and we can only speculate on the customs and social development of the past through some knightly novels.
This is Liszt's perception of this.
He also did not know the origin of humanity in this world.
What is known for sure is that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire has been in existence for one hundred and fifty years, and last year there was a grand anniversary celebration that Liszt left an impression on.
There are many knight novels about the sapphire family in China, and some novels record that the sapphire family has been inherited for a thousand years.
As for the Tulip family, there is no such thing as a genealogy, all Liszt can know is his great-great-grandfather, that is, the father of his grandfather's grandfather - at that time, there were no tulip elves in the family, and there were no tulip elves, so there was no surname Tulip.
Their original surname was "Tiles", indicating that their family was originally just a common class. According to the family history passed down from father to son, the great-grandfather was born with divine powers and followed a nobleman to serve the newly founded Sapphire family. Meritorious service in the war, divided into knights of lords.
Since then, the family has risen to the ranks of the nobility.
The great-grandfather's generation became a baron, the great-grandfather's generation became a viscount, and the grandfather's generation received a tulip elf.
It wasn't until William Lee inherited the title that the elf evolved into the elf, and the family name was changed to Tulip. A few years later, William Lee became a knight of the sky, and was canonized as the Earl of Coral Island by the Grand Duke of Sapphire.
In order to signify the family's rise to the ranks of the upper nobility, the snake inscription "Li" in William Lee's name became the beginning of the name of the younger generation. Every offspring will be called "Li XX" or "Li X", or "Li XXX", "Li XXXX", ...... As for how many "Xs" can be, it looks like the mood of celebrities.
Liszt's understanding - the word "Li" is probably equivalent to the "clan" other than "surname".
Therefore, the Tulip family, added up before and after, has only six generations of history, spanning about 150 years.
Further up, I don't know who the ancestors were.
"Originator, distant ancestor, Taizu, Lie ancestor, Xuanzu, Gaozu, great-grandfather, grandfather, father...... The dignified earl family, not to mention the eighteen generations of ancestors, only remembered six generations, it was really a wild century. Liszt scoffed at this, there is no historical civilization, how can we talk about inheritance.
In his hometown, his family has a genealogy with an exact name, but it can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.
As for the tracing of bloodline, it can be traced back to the period of the Yellow Emperor.
"There are also these knightly novels that boast about the Sapphire family, which are all nonsense, and the thousand-year-old inheritance of the family has a strange source. Some say that it originated from the southern part of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, some say that it migrated from the Blast Furnace Fort Kingdom, and some say that it wandered from the distant Blue Dragon Empire...... If behind these novels, the Sapphire family boasted about itself, it would be too careless. β
He really wanted to sort out the general history of this world, but he felt that there was no hope, and among the knight novels he had read, the one that recorded the furthest history was a novel called "The Dumb Horseman and the Red-tailed Fire Dragon".
The story told in this novel takes place 10,000 years ago in the Empire of Glory, but Liszt has verified that the Empire of Glory has not been established for more than 3,000 years.
The Empire of Glory is also the country with the longest standing state on the mainland.
It is normal for many countries to be established with the friendship of dragons, but they will decay due to the death or departure of dragons, and even have a dragon slaying war in the middle of the way, and it is normal for the country to be destroyed.
At the beginning of the founding of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, there was a battle of dragon slaying.
On that occasion, the sapphire dragon was almost killed by the invaders of the Eagle Kingdom and was unable to gain a foothold on the vast continent. During the escape, the dragon's blood stained a mountain range blue, and countless sapphires were generated in the mountain range, becoming an important mineral mountain range of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, the Blue Blood Mountain.
Although the dragon did not die, Grand Duke I of Sapphire was seriously injured and had to withdraw from the mainland and escape to the island to establish a state.
Of course, this period of history was inferred by Liszt.
In the knightly novels touting the Sapphire family, the origin of the Blue Blood Mountain is that the sapphire dragon bites the white-mouthed iron dragon of the rival Eagle Kingdom, and bleeds and stains the mine.
As for why the blood of the white-mouthed iron dragon creates a mountain range that can mine sapphires, is this...... The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.
Just fool ordinary people, there is no need to tell it so clearly.
......
Dangdang, knock on the door.
"Please come in. Liszt looked up from a book called "A Guide to the Development of Fire Attribute Fighting Qi".
Coming in was the castle's deputy butler, Silva in his early forties, who was Louis's deputy and the family's supposed successor.
"Master Liszt, your grandmother, Madame Penelope, is here and is in the drawing-room, accompanied by Young Master Levi and Miss Livi. β
"Grandmother is here, I'll go now. β
Liszt rubbed his head, feeling a little annoyed - his grandmother didn't want to see him.
His father's disgust was more of a disappointment with him, and now that he had returned, his temperament had changed, and the Count had no longer shown his disgust, apparently pleased with his change. But the grandmother was different, she didn't want to see Liszt, just because Liszt reminded her of Melissa, her daughter-in-law.
Penelope lives in a small castle in Coral City, and the reason why he doesn't live with his son is because Melissa, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are at odds.
Liszt, who is very much like his mother, has become Penelope's punching bag.
But no matter how upset you are, you still have to go downstairs to see you.
"Grandmother, are you here, and I am very relieved to see that you are in good health. β
"Oh, look, look, who's coming!" Penelope's face was already thick with folds, she was almost sixty years old, "Liszt, you don't speak, I thought Melissa was going against me again, this pretty face...... Thankfully, she had gone to heaven to enjoy good fortune before an old woman dared to visit her son's castle. β
Liszt had no expression on his face, sat down quietly, and said nothing.
The old lady doesn't want to see him, so why should he be bored, anyway, he doesn't meet often, just treat him as a stranger and maintain superficial respect.
Li Weiwei smiled: "Liszt, when my grandmother heard that you were back, she immediately rushed to the castle, and at this time, she would pray for the family for several hours. β
Penelope turned away from Liszt and muttered, "I'm not here to see him." β
This is probably the integrity of the mouth?
Liszt thought in his heart that Mrs. Penelope probably loved her grandson, but she was just used to attacking Liszt, who looked like Melissa, and the habit of more than ten years - in fact, it didn't matter whether she loved or didn't want to see her, Liszt just wanted to be a quiet and beautiful man.
"Listen to your sister, the town of flowers is more humble than you think, almost like a small village?" asked Mrs. Penelope.
"It's a bit simpler, but it's more suitable for development, and I already have a plan to develop Flower Town. β
"Look, look, this majestic tone is a bit of the temperament of our tulip family. Don't always learn from Melissa's unhurried and impatient posture, as if she was born superior to anyone else. looks like it enough, and the temper is similar, it really costs the old woman's life, and she can't shake off the haze. β
Liszt did not answer.
He didn't have much of an impression of his mother, who died of illness when he was very young.
Madame Penelope continued to ramble on and on about Melissa's faults, and to sum it upβthe Marquis's daughter looked down on me, and oppressed me everywhere, and you must not inherit her shortcomings.
