Chapter 0232: Zhuge is only cautious in his life (Fifth Update, Alliance Leader Supplement 22/22)
The Iron Ridge Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms in the northern part of the continent, is adjacent to the Blast Furnace Fort Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom.
There are seven vassal kingdoms below, the four Grand Duchies of Sapphire, Maple, Rose, and Brass, and the three Duchies of Light Sapphire, Stars, and Honeysuckle. Strictly speaking, the two grand principalities of Sapphire and Rose should be downgraded to principalities, and the country only has dragons, not dragon knights.
"Duke Honeysuckle had to move three times a year, because he couldn't stand the aristocrats' casual urination in the palace, and he was afraid to walk. There were even knights who solved the problem on the stool in his study, but the Duke of Honeysuckle didn't know it and sat on it. ”
"Finally, Duke Honeysuckle, how to punish this knight?"
He chose to pull a bubble of inside the knight's helmet. ”
"Haha, very creative punishment!"
"Haha!"
The laughter of Liszt and Zambrotta came from the study, and before they knew it, the two had been chatting for more than three hours, and Zambrotta always had endless little gossip, which kept Liszt always interested.
Especially those court secrets.
It is estimated that in the process of Zambrotta's travels, he heard the jokes compiled by the minor nobles, which is equivalent to the history of barnyard officials. When he traveled to the Iron Ridge Kingdom, he was only a quasi-nobleman, and he had no access to the dignitaries of the courts of various countries, even those minor nobles at the lord level.
However, these barnyard official histories are relatively more serious than knights.
At least there is something to say, the story does not know whether it is true or not, but the people in the story exist. And the knight, not only is it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, but the people in it are also fictional.
When Carter, the butler, knocked on the door and inquired about the arrangements for the dinner, Liszt came back to his senses from a pleasant chat: "Invite all the officials of the town to the table in the evening, and let us welcome Mr. Zambrotta." "He's made it clear that he's going to stay with Zambrotta, for his anecdotes.
Undoubtedly, these anecdotes have great reference significance for Liszt's compilation of the chronicle of "Dragon Battles in the Wild".
"Thank you for your generosity. Zambrotta bowed politely in thanks.
He had already understood that he had won the favor of the famous Baron of Flower Town, and the purpose of reviving in Flower Town had been achieved. Since he was deprived of his noble title by the earl, his life has fallen into a depression, and even his son and daughter have begun to dislike him, which makes him hold his breath fiercely.
Now, he is still a freeman without a title, but once he follows Liszt, who will become a great man in the future, who can guarantee that he will not return to the aristocracy.
At the dinner that day, Liszt ceremoniously introduced Zambrotta to the town's officials.
For Zambrotta, Isaiah, Blair, and Marcus all knew him, after all, he was Lytton's tutor at the beginning, and he often went in and out of Tulip Castle, and there would be no problem with knowledge and ability.
But this is not a matter of principle, it is normal for nobles to beat commoners.
Not all aristocrats, like Liszt, have the idea that everyone is equal, hidden deep in their hearts. For people in this world, it is normal to divide people into three, six, nine, and so on.
Therefore, everyone still welcomes Zambrotta, of course, it is difficult to say whether Isaiah and Blair have a sense of crisis in their hearts.
After the dinner, Liszt pulled Zambrotta again and chatted about interesting things for nearly an hour.
Reluctantly let him go, of course, Liszt was still sober-minded, and said to him: "I already know your intentions, about your position in Flower Town, don't worry." I have received the news that my father will return before the New Year's Day, and I will arrange your work after the New Year's Day. ”
Zambrotta nodded, understanding Liszt's subtext: "I follow your orders, Lord Baron. ”
"You can go home and wait for news, or you can stay in Flower Town, and you can continue to talk about interesting stories about various countries when you have time, and I am very interested in this information. ”
"My wife has passed away, and my children have started a family, so I won't go back, and if I can, I'm going to stay in Flower Town first. ”
"I'll let Galtai arrange your accommodation. ”
......
The Count came back a few days faster than Liszt had expected.
On December 20, he returned to Coral Island with the Knights, and shipwowed with supplies piled up on the docks, all trophies.
Of course, when I went there was a full order of knights, and when I came back, there were many fewer knights.
Probably has stayed in the Eagle Kingdom forever.
After the knights of Fort Tulip came to the town of flowers to report the news, Liszt planned to leave for Fort Tulip the next day to attend the celebration banquet held by Fort Tulip.
"Mr. Carter, the gifts I have brought to my father and my brother should be abundant, and they should be prepared as abundantly as they can. I went to the celebration banquet this time, but I was counting on a little more from my father's spoils, especially iron. The lack of iron is driving me crazy!"
Although the bonesmith shop has opened, and the bonesmith Blake Bone family is working day and night to build bone tools, iron is still an important resource.
He made the iron that heated the water tank and the air-conditioning cover, and dissolved it with other iron tools.
Nowadays, there are more and more things that can be obtained in Flower Town, and flower soap is a good gift, high-end seafood is a precious gift, exquisite bread, peanuts and other foods are qualified souvenirs, and Liszt also plans to give it to the Count and Levi, each with a pair of binoculars.
The military value of the telescope is still very large, and I believe that the earl will definitely reward Liszt with a lot of good things when he sees the telescope.
Originally, the telescope was intended to be kept secret and not made public for the time being.
But as he continues to integrate into the aristocracy, integrate into the Tulip family, and enjoy the benefits brought by the family, his mentality has changed to maintain and strengthen the family, so that he can better protect himself, even if he personally goes to the battlefield in the future to make meritorious contributions, seal the territory, and become the viscount of Dark Horse Island.
The Tulip family will still be his strong backing.
In case the earl can rely on his military exploits to go one step further and be divided into marquises, then wouldn't he have to rise again, and at that time, he is the son of the marquis and the grandson of the marquis.
Therefore, at this moment, Liszt sincerely hopes that the tulip family can develop and grow.
At least before he rode the dragon, the family could shelter him and let him develop steadily, so that he would not make an invention, and he was worried about whether he would be snatched away by the great nobles.
Blank paper, glass, cement, if he hadn't thought about it, he would have started to study it a long time ago.
This level of technology may not be able to create an era, but it can definitely make a family grow rapidly. However, it is not necessarily a good thing for a weak family to master, and it may be the end of being destroyed by pirates.
The tragedy of Little Papa Island is a constant reminder to Liszt that the aristocracy is also at risk.
Therefore, Liszt only made small fights in the territory.
"Zhuge is only cautious in his life...... Another day, I have to write a pair of calligraphy, hang it at the head of my bed, and look at it every night before I go to bed. ”
