There is such a group of nobles. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

They followed the lord to fight, but the lord died on the battlefield, and the fief lacked a successor, and was directly absorbed by the superior lord. However, the higher lords refused to recognize the territorial power of their followers who had died in the lord, so they were stripped of their domains, leaving only a useless title of nobility.

There is also such a group of liars.

What they are best at is faking their aristocratic status, such as a bankrupt lord knight, a dead lord's follower, or a viscount who has been robbed of his territory. All in all, they have a so-called aristocratic status, and they have all kinds of down-and-out backgrounds.

The country is vast and the transportation is backward, and it is difficult for the average nobleman to verify when he encounters these swindlers.

Therefore, when they treat this kind of "aristocracy", the attitude they adopt is to entertain one or two politely, but they will never really recognize the other party's aristocratic status.

Charles Trap is one of these two types of aristocracy.

He was originally a follower of Count Ferroran, but Count Ferroran died on the battlefield of the Eagle Kingdom seven years ago, and has no heirs to inherit the title. His lord, Marquis Wallace Pineapple, took back the fiefdom in accordance with the laws of the Grand Duchy.

and refused to recognize the followers of the Count of Ferroran, who had the legitimacy of the territory.

The Marquis Wallace believed that it was the poor protection of his followers that led to the death of the Earl of Ferrorand, and he was stripped of his fiefdom.

Charles was stripped of his fiefdom, and he resented that the Marquis of Wallace was too greedy.

Leave Deep Throat Island, the fiefdom of the Pineapple Green family, and wander to Coral Island.

Lee William Tulip didn't take Charles' word for it - he wasn't familiar with Ferroran, let alone how many followers he had.

So Charles was on Coral Island, and he was reduced to a marginal person. You can go to the battlefield and be incorporated into a mixed knight order, but even if you fight hard, you still can't get much credit.

The Count didn't care about such an elite earth knight at all, his elite knights were all elite earth knights. The two viscounts were also reluctant to take credit for sharing a foreign knight, not to mention that he might be a liar. So that Charles stumbled for seven years and got nothing.

Start setting your sights on Flower Town.

At first, he wrote to Galtai to recount his old friendships, after all, they were all down-and-out nobles.

Now he simply rushed to Flower Town in person to reveal his thoughts, but Liszt did not receive him, but only arranged for Zambrotta to receive him - the lord of Flower Town was also jealous, in case the other party was really a liar, wouldn't his own reputation be ruined.

Knights of unknown origin need to be treated with caution.

In his previous life, Liszt had heard of many high-ranking officials, all of whom were deceived by liars and thrown to his grandmother's house in shame.

At dinner, he left Zambrotta behind.

Ask about the reception of Charles: "What do you think of Charles as a person?"

"My lord, from what I know about Charles, his strength is indeed very strong, but to talk about his identity...... Many powerful knights like to take shortcuts, they can pretend to be nobles and get glory, so why go to the battlefield to fight to the death, you know, not every elite earth knight can get the status of nobility. ”

"I need some more objective information. ”

Liszt said.

Zambrotta is indeed well-informed and has a good sense of humor, but he has a bad problem, that is, he likes to talk high-mindedly but does not involve practice.

It is a retreat, but it is not pragmatic.

Coughing, Zambrotta replied: "I heard that he fought quite hard in the past few years, but in the past two years, his performance has begun to be mediocre. I usually want to integrate into the aristocratic circle, but I always use too much force and behave too deliberately. When I received him today, I could also feel that he was too anxious. ”

"Too anxious?"

"Yes, you are always inseparable from your lordship in conversation, which makes me feel that he is too purposeful, and he always wants to hide it. Zambrotta tried to make his words seem more realistic, "We can all see the purpose of his visit to Flower Town, but he doesn't think we can see clearly. ”

Vulgarly speaking, it is probably the mentality of "being a bitch and wanting to set up a torii".

Liszt understood this: "Then you continue to receive him, don't promise anything, let him dry for a while, let him see what he needs to do, and I will see him again." ”

Tear down the other party's torii first.

Only then can we meet frankly and talk about the interests involved between following and accepting followers.

......

In the following days, Liszt became very busy, as he went to Black Dragon Island.

The inventor's spark of inspiration led him to order someone to carry Jomaya Rammed Earth on a stretcher and personally supervise the construction of the furnace of the Fire Dragon Brick Factory.

"I brought you here, in addition to asking you to instruct the stonemasons in building the kilns of the brickworks, and I also hope that you will understand the help of rubber water in construction. ”

He said to Jomayr.

Then walk into a simple kiln, take out the dragon jar containing the dragon magic, and release the dragon magic.

Through several adjustments, the range of movement of the magic dragon was successfully fixed in the calcination space of the kiln. Then instruct the stonemasons to bond a stone-wheeled cart with rubber water and experiment with the effect of pushing and pulling. He also personally led people to find suitable brown clay and yellow clay from Black Horse Island, and stirred them into clay raw materials.

A wooden brick mold, filled with stirred clay, is pressed with a wooden board to create a rectangular brick.

Hundreds of serfs, maybe stupid, but absolutely unconditionally obey the instructions, let them do what they do, without asking why, just do it.

So it's fast. A cart of bricks has been stacked.

"One, two, three!"

Shouting slogans, the serfs worked together to push the stone-wheeled cart into the kiln, and the calcination began.

It will take some time.

Liszt walked to the other side, where Chomayr watched the serfs stir the sand and gravel of the seashore with rubber water, and then build a new brickyard kiln.

"See what?"

"Lord Lord, rubber water is incredible, it is faster than glutinous rice juice, which takes at least a day to solidify, and it takes a week to be completely firm. You asked me to build the lighthouse, which I expected would take a month to complete, but now it looks like it might only take a few days!"

Jomaya exclaimed.

Lighthouses are not easy to build.

Because first of all, it is necessary to be in a relatively steep and towering place, usually on some cliffs and reefs, which not only needs to carry materials, but also has great dangers. When the stones are piled up, they have to solidify for a long time, and it is even more difficult to build a large lighthouse.

However, with the quick-setting effect of rubber water, the construction time will be greatly shortened, and it is not difficult to build a lighthouse in a short period of time.

Liszt also did not intend to build a large lighthouse, he only planned to build a small lighthouse ten meters high on the rocky beach near the Black Horse Harbor.

After installing the crystal lamps, the range can reach two or three kilometers is enough.

Later, when conditions are available, a small lighthouse will be built on the reef in the fairway, and a small lighthouse will be built in the port of flowers. In this way, there is no longer any risk of getting lost.

Between words.

The first furnace of bricks has been fired.
