The day before the New Year's Festival, the three siblings finally arrived at the Fort of Long Taro under the escort of the knight team of Red Crab Island. And the news of the encounter with the ghost ship was also quickly transmitted to the ears of the Marquis of Merlin.

"Levi, Livira, Liszt, I'm relieved to see that you're safe and sound, you don't know how worried I am when I hear the news of the ghost ship. ”

Mei Opal rode out of the fortress of taro, and when she saw the three siblings, she kept saying, "Grandfather, father, and mother, they are all worried about you. If you knew you would encounter such an incredible existence as the ghost ship, you should have sent your family's fleet to pick you up. ”

Whether it is an aristocratic courtesy or a true expression, Mei Opal's gesture touched the three brothers and sisters.

The unhappiness of encountering the ghost ship has also dissipated a lot - this is not a disaster that can be predicted or avoided by manpower, and you can only consider yourself unlucky, and there is no need to be angry with others.

Besides, there is no damage to itself.

The atmosphere returned to its usual harmony.

At the gates of the Castle of Long Taro, Liszt met his uncle and aunt. His uncle, Messiro, was tall, thin, handsome, and somewhat similar to the portrait of Melissa in Castle Tulip. Although my aunt already has a lot of crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she is still a noble lady with a dusty temperament.

"Young Liszt has grown up, and you have inherited all the virtues of Melissa, and you are more handsome than your cousin. My aunt said very kindly.

Liszt bowed and thanked him, and there were always people who praised him for being handsome.

Mei Opal said, "Mother, please praise others behind your son's back, it will hit my self-confidence." ”

Seeing that everyone had already greeted him, Messiro said, "Don't stand outside the door and talk, come in, your justice is waiting for you, he heard about the ghost ship incident, and he is worried about you." ”

Enter the magnificent Fort of Long Taro.

The three siblings naturally went to meet the owner of the castle for the first time, Marquis Merlin, one of the seven marquis of the Grand Duchy. The Marquis of Merlin was walking on the cloisters of the castle with a cane, and the Sky Knight, who once soared into the sky, looked no different from ordinary old people.

"Grandpa. The three siblings shouted.

Marquis Merlin pushed away the servant who was about to support him, and the expression on his face was as majestic as ever: "Well, you guys are here, I know about the ghost ship, and you haven't been scared, right?"

"Of course not, with the long sword in hand and the fighting spirit in the body, how can even the ghost ship be. Levi immediately bragged, which could not be considered bragging.

He deserves credit for showing enough courage in the face of danger on board.

At least Liszt recognized Levi's, who at that time not only did not run away, but also cared about the safety of his sister and younger brother, and had the burden of his brother.

"Well said, with fighting spirit and long swords, as well as war horses and spears, the knight is invincible. Marquis Merlin stretched out his hand and slapped Levi's shoulder, "It's a pity that I've been on the blue sea for nearly forty years, and I've never met a ghost ship, so I'm very sorry. ”

Others were afraid to hide, but Marquis Merlin felt regretful.

The vision brought by different strengths is indeed different, and perhaps the ghost ship is not an uncommon thing for Marquis Merlin.

At his level, his understanding of the world will definitely be more profound.

After he finished speaking, he said to Messiro: "Have you made any arrangements, send the fleet and knights of Red Crab Island to patrol the sea, find the ghost ship, catch it if you can, and defeat it if you can't." ”

"I have informed the Count of Schalke and asked him to lead the investigation, and have invited the Grand Wizard of Ocktor to accompany me. ”

"Don't hesitate at all, inspect all the waters between Red Crab Island and Coral Island!

Messiro nodded hurriedly: "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely advise Count Shackel carefully." ”

"No, you let Schalke, this kid, come to me first. ”

"Yes. ”

After dealing with the arrangements for the ghost ship, the marquis said to the three siblings: "Forget about the ghost ship, and celebrate the New Year in the castle of Long Taro, tomorrow your Aunt Melinda will bring her two boys over, and the young people will always find something happy when they get together." ”

"Okay, Grandpa. ”

My aunt came over and informed, "The living room has been decorated with tea and snacks, father, you can take the children to the living room to chat, it's cold in the corridor." ”

"Don't treat me like waste, my vindictiveness is still boiling. The Marquis of Merlin said this, but he did not refuse the proposal, and returned to the living room surrounded by the three siblings.

Drinking hot milk tea and gossiping.

My aunt was a talkative lady who always dominated the conversation and asked about the development of the three siblings.

Naturally, Liszt inevitably talked about his flower town, and he briefly mentioned some of the developments of the town, such as the production of flower soap, the refining of seafood oyster sauce, and the birth of the thorny elf Zyola.

The Marquis of Merlin liked to hear these contents, and he said solemnly: "Possessing a potion-producing elf, Liszt, this is the favor of the knight's glory, but it is more important to work hard. Sky Knight is not just your brother's goal, you have to have it. ”

"Grandpa, of course I understand that my talent is indeed so-so, but my vision is not narrow. ”

At this time, Mei Opal suddenly interjected: "Grandfather, you may not know that Liszt also brought an intermediate demonic beast, which is his pet!"

"Intermediate Warcraft as a pet?"

"It's Shake Sen, a storm dog I fed since I was a child, accidentally ate the bloodline fruit, and evolved into a mid-level demonic beast, but it will only release one kind of magic. ”

"Bring it over and I'll see. ”

The Marquis of Merlin had inconvenient legs and feet, so Liszt directly asked the manservant Thomas to bring Shake Sen to the living room, but fortunately, the living room of the Long Taro Castle was very large, and Shake Son's huge figure was inconspicuous here.

"Wow!"

Shaken came to Liszt's feet, wagging its tail meekly, it was already able to ignore any human being, and freely enter and exit any scene.

"What a big black dog. The aunt exclaimed, she is obviously a qualified lady, pampered all the year round, in addition to eating monster meat, I am afraid that even wild monsters are rare, "It is bigger than a tiger, and it is really as obedient as a dog, Liszt, how did you tame it?"

Liszt smiled slightly, and Shake Sen was his façade: "Raise it like a dog, whip it if you don't obey, and reward it with jerky if you obey." ”

"Raising Warcraft like a dog, incredible, Liszt, you made my awe of Warcraft disappear completely. Mei Opal exaggerated.

Messiro nodded and commented: "In terms of size, it can be called a qualified mid-level demonic beast, much larger than ordinary terrach dogs." ”

"On Coral Island, there is no one more blessed by the glory of the knight than Liszt, who is a lucky fellow. Levi looked at Shake Sen enviously and said with a strong eagerness.

Marquis Merlin just glanced at Shake Sen, he had seen countless demonic beasts, and he had seen many high-level demonic beasts.

But he spoke highly of Liszt's methods of breeding: "You have a lot of ideas about raising monsters, and sometimes we exaggerate the cunning and danger of monsters, in fact, they are just beasts with a little magic...... You should train it to work with the knights, so that in the future, it can exert a power comparable to that of the Sky Knights on the battlefield. ”
