The count was very busy, so Liszt just took a break to say hello and blessing to him. Then he left Tulip Castle and returned to Flower Town.
Before leaving, the count solemnly said, "Flower Town is developing very well. I am paying attention to training your knight team. I hope that next year's Pioneer Order, you and Levis can fight side by side."
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Liszt responded like this.
But in my heart I was noncommittal - in terms of fighting, it was impossible to fight, and it was impossible to fight in this life. I didn't know how to flatter people, and it was only through farming that I could maintain my life like this.
However, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
He will not stay in Flower Town and be a countryman Baron all his life. Riding a dragon is a major goal in life, but owning an island of his own is a small goal. To own an island as a fiefdom, you must at least have the title of viscount, which requires some effort.
On the way back, Li Dragon Horse ran.
He was on horseback, slightly distracted.
Pioneer Order At the banquet, the excitement of the nobles still infected him - the nobles may be a group of parasites, but their desire for glory is very pure.
It means fighting, charging, and risking one's life for wealth.
"Am I really not going to the battlefield? If I don't go to the battlefield, how can I be promoted to a noble title? Rebellion? Without the strength to slay a dragon, rebellion is equal to courting death."
Don't treat Sapphire Family and Sapphire Dragon as decorations.
That is the top power in the world, equivalent to nuclear weapons. It is best not to test it.
"Going to the battlefield and grabbing credit is the most effective way to get promoted... The lord doesn't need to lead the charge. Let the knights fight and kill, and you can still ensure safety. At worst, I will be captured and let others redeem me, which will be a bit embarrassing, but the most important thing is to save my own life."
"Perhaps I can take the route of the ordinary second son of a noble and attack noble ladies?"
Some nobles only give birth to daughters, and their titles must be inherited by their daughters. Grand Duchy recognizes the title of Dame. Such aristocratic ladies are the best marriage partners for the second sons of nobles.
Some aristocratic ladies, who are favored by their parents, will obtain fiefdoms and become hereditary nobles, such as Lvera. They will also be the best marriage partners for the second sons of nobles.
"It's a pity, Sapphire Grand Duchy, that there are only a few suitable aristocratic ladies... There are many aristocratic ladies at this level of Baronet Knight and Baron. Noble ladies like viscounts and earls are very rare. The archipelago country itself is not very big. There are only seven Marquis and more than twenty earls."
Besides, there is a very real problem - aristocratic ladies long for higher-ranking aristocratic sons, not ordinary minor aristocrats.
"I am very handsome, my father is an earl, my grandfather is Marquis, and I myself received the Baron fiefdom. Among the second sons of nobles, I am probably a very competitive existence. Let me think carefully, there are those viscount ladies in Grand Duchy who are single and suitable for marriage..." After thinking for a while, I didn't expect one.
All nobles hope to have a boy and inherit their title.
There are very few nobles who have only one daughter.
The battlefield is too dangerous, and dames are too rare. Liszt thinks of a third way to obtain a title - making a big contribution. If he contributes his papermaking skills to Grand Duke Sapphire, he might be able to get the title of earl or even Marquis.
"But the titles awarded based on contributions are lifelong titles and do not have fiefs. This method is not advisable at all."
After much deliberation, there is no good solution.
He laughed at himself and sighed in his heart, "Instead of going to such trouble, it is better to look forward to the count and Levis... Stop it, I always feel that such an idea should not occur. After all, we are blood relatives."
After returning to Flower Town.
Liszt fell into the leisurely pace of life again.
The Earl was in a hurry to participate in the war and could not even hold his birthday on September 14th at Coral Island, so he had no diplomacy to worry about and could develop the town with peace of mind.
Dragon Sunflower is still half dead, but as long as it is not dead, it means that Elf Bug has a desire to live.
Hope is still there.
What brought him joy was Fragrant Coconut Tree. The fruit farmer Giggs came to report that Fragrant Coconut cracked and instead of flowing out coconut milk, a milky white and plump Elf Bug crawled out.
Bring jade powder and jade box.
Liszt rushed to Oyster Hamlet, climbed up to Fragrant Coconut Tree which was dozens of meters high, and saw the long-awaited Fragrant Coconut Tree Elf Bug - very fat, fatter than all the Elf Bugs he had on his hands, and his body was also very white, as if it was glowing faintly. It was as if he had just taken a milk bath.
"Little guy, come here, let me treat you to some jade powder."
He sprinkled jade powder on Fragrant Coconut to lure Elf Bug. The newborn Elf Bug relied on instinct and was quickly attracted to the jade powder containing Magic Power.
Started to gulp down the jade powder.
Next, Liszt only needs to apply jade powder on his finger and put it to Elf Bug's mouth.
Take a bite.
The contract is completed.
The pleasant feeling of spiritual connection closely connected him and Fragrant Coconut Tree Elf Bug, sharing joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
Putting Fragrant Coconut Bug into the jade box, Liszt rewarded the fruit farmers who had been patiently taking care of Fragrant Coconut Bug with a silver coin each. "Giggs, you must still take good care of this Bug Grass in the future, do you understand?"
"Understood, Lord Lord."
Return to the castle and hand Fragrant Coconut Bug to Carter to take into the insect room.
Carter was very happy, but at the same time expressed his concern. "Master, we already have eight Elf Bug. The servants in the castle may not be able to take good care of each Bug Grass. Do you think it is necessary to hire a new servant to take care of Bug Grass."
This question reminded Liszt.
Of course, everyone in Flower Town dare not disobey him, let alone destroy his Bug Grass. However, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case a civilian goes crazy and chops off Bug Grass; or a beast accidentally eats Bug Grass - don't expect the fence to stop everything.
"Your concerns are very reasonable, but I don't plan to recruit servants to take care of Bug Grass. I plan to set up a regular team to take care of Bug Grass."
I just did it when I thought of it, and immediately called Gortai, Marcus and Karl·Hammer.
"My lord."
"Teacher Gortai, Teacher Marcus, Karl, I came to you because I have more and more Elf Bug, and Bug Grass are distributed in various locations in the town, and they need better protection."
"Do we need more manpower from the patrol team to patrol Bug Grass frequently, sir?"
"Patrol alone is not enough. I need long-term and dedicated protection. Do you have any good ideas?" Liszt had an idea in mind, but he did not reveal it.
Concealing but not revealing - this is the way for a superior to control his subordinates.
Gortai thought for a while and said, "The current protection of Bug Grass mainly relies on the care of the castle's male servants, the surveillance of local farmers and patrols, and the isolation of fences. Perhaps, we can train more patrols and let them specifically patrol Bug Grass."
Marcus is more straightforward. "It can be handed over to the knight squad for patrolling."
Karl finally said, "Sir, I think we can arrange patrol members to be on duty around Bug Grass. Currently we have twenty patrol members to patrol the town. We don't need so many. If we assign eight patrol members to guard Bug Grass, we can keep Bug Grass protected at all times."
"Karl's suggestion is more in line with my idea. However, patrol members are not required to be on duty. This is a waste of human resources. Select strong serfs from each village and arrange for them to guard Bug Grass in shifts. The town administration will pay them, one Copper Coin per day."
After a pause, he continued, "In addition, Teacher Marcus will arrange for the members of the knight team to teach the serfs on duty some simple fighting skills."
