Chapter 0733 - Nobility (First Update)
There was no fun in chatting with his brother Levi, and even if he was complimenting himself the whole time, Liszt still found it boring.
So just a brief chat about the joy of dragon riding, I went into the study and went about my own business.
Marcus and Mary followed him into the study.
"Captain Marcus, I expect that there will be a large number of Sapphire Knights who want to join the Knights of Dark Horse Island in the near future, and I will leave this aspect to you to control. Don't want knights with bad conduct, don't want knights with mediocre talents, don't want older knights, in short, choose knights with both morality and talent. ”
Liszt said.
Since he revealed his identity as a dragon knight, and Ark revealed his identity as a magician, it can be said that the founding of the country has become imperative. The second son of the nobles, the commoner knight, who could not progress in Sapphire, would definitely see Liszt as the greatest opportunity and wanted to become the patriarch of a new country.
But Liszt is not a hungry lord, and any knight can become his follower: "I would rather have a shortage than an abundance, anyway, I don't plan to build a country in a short time, and it is easier for us to cultivate knights ourselves to gain loyalty." ”
Marcus replied in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Marcus will definitely guard the level selected by the knights and select the knights who meet the standards you have set!" Although his expression was calm, there was a fire-like excitement burning in his eyes, which had been burning since he was still on the ship.
A huge sense of unreality has always enveloped him - it is unimaginable that he has been the tutor of the dragon knight!
And now his identity is the confidant of the Dragon Knight, the leader of the Knights of Dark Horse Island. Perhaps one day the Knights will grow stronger and the country will begin to build and will not be able to keep up with the great dragon knights, but he believes that his relationship with Liszt will serve him for the rest of his life.
For the time being, it is only a knighthood of the Lord, but the future will definitely not stop there.
"One more point. Liszt thought of something again, "The magicians are by my side, and there will definitely be a large number of magicians pouring into the territory in the future." Chrissy is not good at organizational management, and I hope that you and Chrissy, Paris, Charles, and Mary will come up with a unified management plan for magicians as soon as possible. ”
Just as dragon knights can attract a large number of knights, the sorcerer is naturally the inevitable belief of magicians.
It's not just sapphire magicians who want to make a pilgrimage to Ake, and after the news spreads, there should be magicians coming to make a pilgrimage to the Iron Ridge Kingdom, the Eagle Kingdom, and even the kingdoms beyond.
Liszt didn't like the stubborn side of magicians, but if he could use magicians, he wouldn't be impossible. Anyway, with the strength of him and Ake, the magician dared to violate the laws of the territory, and he would directly erase it - the only thing to guard against was a dragon slaying incident similar to the goat gathering.
Therefore, it is important to introduce unified management and strengthen the monitoring of magicians.
After talking about the magician.
Liszt left Mary alone and began to talk about the vampires: "Alonso fled, and those vampires don't know if they were hiding, and in any case it was a disaster for them to stay in Sapphire. Mary, you need to find them out as soon as possible and let me know. ”
Mary nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Blood Servants will never let the vampires of the Black Knight Family calmly escape from the Sapphire!"
......
Night.
The banquet was held at the Castle of Bull's Hoof, and after the arrival of the knights of the remote coral island, basically all the knights of the great nobles of Sapphire had arrived, and the scale of the banquet had reached an unprecedented height.
At the Grand Duke's table, in addition to Liszt and Ake, seven marquis or the marquis's heirs were all present.
Messiro Long Taro from Red Crab Island, Warner Pineapple Green from Deep Throat Island, the eldest son of Marquis Wallace, Marquis Roderick Golden Wheat Ears from Golden Isle, Marquis Grindant Red Maple Leaf from Red Maple City, and Marquis Ramirez White Glutinous Rice from Leather Island.
In addition, Nesta Dahua Whelan, Marquis of Quicksand City, William Tulip, Marquis of Oxtail, and Anthony, the eldest prince, a total of eleven people, talked and laughed.
"If it weren't for His Highness Liszt's help, the battle situation of Sapphire would have been eroded, please accept my respect. Anthony raised his glass to the toast.
The eldest prince's attitude changed very calmly.
At the celebration banquet of the Marquis of Oxtail, he was full of lordship style, and looked at Liszt as if he were his own followers. After a short time, he needed to look at Liszt with admiration, and he didn't dare to put on any swag. The title of "His Royal Highness" was also changed to Liszt.
"The eldest prince is polite, the sea is not the place where the Eagle Kingdom should intervene, and the sapphire is also my hometown, so I should make a move. Liszt smiled and raised his glass.
Anthony suddenly smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Liszt can call me Anthony." ”
Liszt was as good as he was: "Yes, Anthony. He really didn't want to call the other party's eldest prince, he was clearly just the son of a duke, and it was a bit funny to have to deceive himself into the title of prince and princess in the country of Sapphire.
Of course, the aristocracy is cheeky, and the other principalities basically do the same - after all, the principality is also a state.
The Grand Duke sat on the throne, watching his eldest son mingle with the marquis and Liszt, and felt a little comforted that Sapphire had a worthy heir anyway. He quietly gave his brother-in-law Nesta a look, and Nesta understood.
Raising his glass, he said loudly: "This cup celebrates the victory of the sapphire, and may the glory of the knight always favor the sapphire and favor everyone here." ”
Everyone raised their glasses.
After drinking, Nesta raised his glass and said, "This cup celebrates His Royal Highness Liszt and His Excellency Achillroydes, who turned the tide and shook the sea." ”
Liszt raised his glass again and accepted the salute from everyone.
He is no longer a political novice, and he probably knows that the Grand Duke is nothing more than signaling Nesta to praise him and put him in a higher position, so that he will not easily fight the idea of sapphire - the strength of Sapphire is now extremely weak, and he really can't withstand Liszt's challenge.
Especially during the sapphire dragon's sleep, it is almost allowed to be slaughtered - of course, it is not ruled out that the grand duke is camouflaging again, the sapphire dragon may just be pretending, after all, if this kind of thing happens once, there will naturally be a second and third time.
In this way, the dinner ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere.
However, the crowd did not disperse, and the Grand Duke took advantage of the gathering to announce: "Your Excellency Liszt has become a dragon knight, and has decided to establish a state at the right time, and I have also decided that Sapphire will fully support His Excellency Liszt's establishment of the country...... So in the preparatory stage, Lord Liszt needed a suitable identity. ”
Liszt smiled silently.
The Grand Duke wanted to promote him to the title, and he was happy to see it, at least before the founding of the country, he did need a higher noble status - the Marquis.
In the Eagle Kingdom, all dragon knights start as marquises.
Besides, Sapphire can only take out the title of Marquis.
