Failed to get any useful advice from the Marquis of Ushio.

Liszt's father's vision has been limited by the knightly system, and the three views are formed and stable, and he cannot see anything that needs to be improved.

It's still the one that the legendary continent is accustomed to - the king is in charge of the king's territory, and the nobles are in charge of the nobles' territory. The king is not like a king, in essence he is just a big brother who takes the lead.

The advanced nature of this system is undoubtedly very poor, but it is also in line with the current conditions of productive forces.

Waiting for the Marquis of Oxtail and his son to leave, Liszt leaned back in his chair, still thinking about this question. At the beginning of this time, he was ambitious and thought about changing the social system from feudal feudalism to centralization, and all power was concentrated in the hands of the king alone.

However, institutional reform cannot be completed overnight.

If China does not have Qin Shi Huang's ambition to dominate the hegemony of "Fen VI's Yu Lie, Zhen Chang Zhi and Yu Nei", it will be difficult to centralize power. Moreover, in Liszt's current thinking, whether it is feudal or centralized, it is a backward feudal system.

I really can't tell whether it is more comfortable to divide the seal or centralize power - as a dragon family at the top of the pyramid, or a family with a multi-headed dragon, no matter how you live, you will be comfortable.

"A better system, the democratic communist and I will not play, and I will not be able to shake my own power in vain, and I can't do this kind of fearless spirit. He shook his head silently, how can a person who has tried the beauty of power let go of this taste and exert his noble sentiments.

After a few moments, he made a decision.

"If there is no motivation for reform for the time being, then copy the system of the Iron Ridge Kingdom and continue to maintain the system of separation...... When the Flame Kingdom grows and grows, and my personal strength also reaches its peak, if I want to centralize power at that time, I can reform with invincible momentum at will, and I believe that no one will dare to stop me. ”

However, when he looked at the map of the Flaming Islands on the table, he burst into laughter, feeling that he had been bothering himself all along.

The Flame Islands are about more than five million square kilometers, of which the Flame Island alone occupies more than three million square kilometers, which means that even if he divides all the remaining islands, his king's territory is still too large. One-third of China's area is enough for the family to prosper for a long time.

Whether it's a feud or a centralized power, that's all it takes.

When the productive forces of the Flame Island flourish under his development, then even if Liszt does not take the initiative to reform the system, the system will sprout on its own. Even if he continues to divide the feuds, those nobles who have been divided out see the richness of the Flame Island, and maybe cry and beg to stay on the Flame Island as officials.

Besides.

If he can contract a fairy dragon one day, he will live forever......

Following.

On July 15, the funeral of the Marquis of Merlin took place in a drizzling rain. There was no overly grand ceremony, and there was no noise of beating gongs and drums, just many nobles rode in horse-drawn carriages and followed the knights guarding the coffin to the cemetery of the Changtaro family.

The grave has long been dug and the inscription has been erected.

It is a small square tombstone, with the words "Marquis of Red Crab Island-Merlin Long Taro", "Glory 71 April 18", "Glory 154 July 3" in snake inscription. Glory is birth, glory is death, the inscription is very simple, and there is not even the name of the person who erected the monument.

But there's a small line of print underneath.

"To life, to death, to give a cold glance, the knight galloped by. ”

This is the epitaph that the Marquis of Merlin himself had thought of a long time ago, and before he could rest in peace, he had ordered someone to carve this tombstone and bury it above the cemetery where he was about to sleep.

Liszt, holding a tulip flower in his hand, stood in front of the tombstone and let the rain fall on Frak Abière, wetting his clothes. Thinking about the past of the Marquis of Merlin, even if he has been dead for more than ten days, his mood is still depressed. If there is no accident, he will wait for this day and turn into white bones and loess as companions.

I once thought that I was not afraid of death, but now I longed for the contract fairy dragon even more.

Seeing the coffin of the Marquis of Merlin buried in the earth made his longing even stronger—he never wanted to be buried in the earth one day.

The atmosphere of the whole cemetery was very quiet, and all the nobles did not say a word, but quietly meditated and prayed. When the servants of the cemetery filled the earth and placed pots and pots of flowers, an elderly nobleman who was present at the scene, who was the distant cousin of the Marquis of Merlin, Memi Long Taro, coughed lightly.

Although the knighthood was just an ordinary baron, he was old enough to be invited by Messiro to be the funeral celebrant.

After the elderly nobles and everyone else paid attention to him, they said slowly: "The Marquis of Red Crab Island, the pillar of the Long Taro family, Merlin Long Taro is buried here...... Now that the funeral has been completed, guests are invited to circle the cemetery in turn, lay flowers and say their final goodbyes to Merlin Taro. ”

Flowers are a symbol of beauty, many nobles use flowers as their surnames, and offering flowers to the deceased is one of the few important parts of the funeral.

As the highest-ranking dragon knight and magician, Liszt stepped forward with Ark and gently placed the tulip flower in his hand in front of the tombstone.

Mr. and Mrs. Messiro and Mr. and Mrs. May Opal stood by the cemetery, with sad expressions on their faces, and bowed slightly to the two of them in thanks. Liszt and Acker bowed slightly, then walked around the cemetery and left the cemetery under the guidance of their servants.

He was followed by the aristocratic guests who laid flowers and left the cemetery.

In this way, the funeral of the Marquis of Merlin was simply completed.

The light rain was still blowing.

Liszt refused the knight's move to hold an umbrella for him, took the umbrella and held it himself, and walked slowly towards the castle of Taro on the soaked bluestone slab with Ake. He didn't go too fast, and Anthony and other nobles behind him could only follow slowly.

No one rushed up to disturb him, leaving plenty of room for Liszt and Acker to chat.

There was a hint of melancholy on the dragon knight's handsome face: "If I can't get the contract method of the Dragon Domain Lord, probably in a few decades, I will also lie in the darkness of the dirt like my grandfather." ”

Ake wrinkled his small nose: "But Ake can live for many years." ”

"Then live well and protect my family. ”

"No, Ake wants to be with his brother, and he doesn't want to be separated. ”

"Life and death have destiny and wealth in the sky, people, there must always be a moment of joy and sorrow, just like the moon in the sky is cloudy and sunny. Liszt said with emotion, although he was determined to contract with the fairy dragon, even if he couldn't find the fairy dragon, he would contract with other dragons.

But who can guarantee that the contract will be successful, so many kings have died, and they have not seen the contract succeed.

So far, there are rumors on the Legendary Continent that the emperor of the Immortal Radiance Empire has been reigning for more than two hundred years, and it is clear that he is a Dragon Domain Lord.

However, it is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false, and the Immortal Radiance Empire is too far away from the Grand Duchy of Sapphire to have almost no intersection.

Of course, as long as there is the slightest possibility, Liszt will go for it.

When the time comes, he will ride the invisible dragon and rush into the palace of the Immortal Radiance Empire, and find the emperor to talk about the contract of the Lord of the Dragon Domain.

All in all, who wants to die if they can live forever.

Ark didn't know what Liszt thought, but she said very seriously: "Brother, don't worry, Ark will study the contract method of the Lord of the Dragon Domain, so that my brother can live for hundreds of years, until we don't want to live." ”

Liszt smiled: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it!"
