Early the next morning, Liszt carried Curly Blessing's bird's nest to the windowsill of the castle and hung it up. On the one hand, he wanted to let it bask in the sun, but on the other hand, he was fed up with the bird's chirping.

I don't know what happened last night, but I even screamed in the middle of the night.

At this time, Curly Blessing had just eaten small fish and shrimps and was full of energy. He was crawling around in the nest and kept making "quacking" and "quacking" sounds.

In the kennel outside the castle, Dousen stuck his head out and stared at Curly Blessing on the window sill, drooling.

"Woof woof!" Seeing Liszt go out, it immediately wagged its tail happily and rattled the iron chain around its neck - Liszt is really raising dogs and has been using dog chains since he was a child.

Untie the chain and grab it in your hand.

Dousen immediately spread its hooves and ran wildly. The time when Liszt takes it for a walk every day is probably the happiest moment of its day.

Leading Dousen to the racecourse, Liszt started training.

When Dousen was relatively young, he usually trained once a day, but now it has been reduced to training once every three days. He successfully taught Dousen that he is not allowed to hurt or release magic without passwords, and he is not allowed to eat casually or drive horses on the racecourse.

Of course, except for Li Dragon Horse, all other horses will take a detour when seeing Dousen.

"Sit down, Dousen!"

Dousen, who was running happily just now, immediately squatted down and looked at Liszt with his tongue out. He was no different from a local dog.

Liszt threw a small ball made of leather. "Pick it back, Dousen."

Dousen immediately rushed out like an arrow, jumped up after a few steps, turned his body 180 degrees in the air, successfully grabbed the ball, and then rushed back and put it in Liszt's hand.

"Very good." He rewarded Dousen with a small piece of dried meat.

Next, several training items were repeated, including releasing the magic Rock Spike. It was not until Dousen was exhausted that he was out of breath, then he tied the chain again and handed it to Thomas: "Take it back."

"Yes, sir."

Looking at the position of the sun, Liszt felt that today's logging team should arrive. However, it was not a logging team that arrived, but a patrol member.

"Lord, urgent report!"

"Say."

"East Coast A tilted sailboat floated on the sea. Someone was waving a flag on the boat. Lord Gortai thought it was a ship in distress. He is organizing people to prepare for rescue. He asked me to come immediately and report to you, Lord Lord."

Hear the news.

Liszt perked up and immediately said to the patrol, "I'll rush over right away. Tell Gortai that you must rescue the ship in distress, especially the people on board."

After Liszt had finished changing and went out, Frac Abie, with four Retainer Knight and Earth Knight Marcus, rushed to East Coast. He saw a group of people pulling ropes hard on the beach, dragging a not too big but not too small sailboat to the shore.

Among the people pulling the rope, there were a few unfamiliar faces.

"Lord," Isaiah, who was directing the boat pulling work, bowed and saluted.

Gortai also came from the seaside. "Liszt, these are the refugees from Little Papa Island. They fled from Little Papa Island by boat and planned to go to Great Pappa Island sought shelter, but the ship was damaged by Storm, so it could only float along the sea wind to Coral Island, and was stranded on East Coast."

Liszt nodded, he had heard of Little Papa Island and Great Pappa Island.

At this time, an old man with a slight hunchback came to him and knelt down to salute him from a distance. "Dear Mr. Flower Town Baron, Bunir, the man in trouble, I would like to offer you my sincere greetings, and I would like to express my sincere apologies for disturbing the noble you."

"Zhen Dan?" Liszt I have heard many weird surnames, but I still think the name Zhen Dan is very weird.

"Sir, my family has been collecting sea turtle eggs for the little Lord Pappa for generations."

Agricultural harvests were difficult to ensure, food was scarce in many places, and the fear and ignorance of the sea resulted in little development of the fishing industry. At the same time, the serfs, who were forced to make a living, had to find ways to obtain food in order to ensure the luxurious life of the nobles in the castle.

Among them, sea turtle eggs have become a food source.

The guillemot is a gull-like seabird, and its nests are usually built on seaside cliffs. To collect guillemot eggs, you need to risk your life, climb a hundred-meter-high cliff, and fight with the guillemots that protect the eggs. It can be said that it is not easy for these serfs to survive and leave offspring.

"Understood." Liszt stretched out his hand and motioned for Bunir to get up, "Why did you escape from Little Papa Island?"

"Little Papa Island was attacked by a group of pirates and the castle fell. Lord Pappa's life and death were unknown. We had to rob the pirates' boat and escape from Little Papa Island. We originally planned to take refuge in Great Pappa Island, but encountered a violent Storm. The ship almost capsized and ended up in your territory."

Liszt frowned. "Little Papa Island was attacked by pirates?"

Little Papa Island is the family territory of little Viscount Pappa. If he remembers correctly, the current lord is named Vincent Little Pappa. This family and Grand Viscount Pappa of Great Pappa Island were the same family a hundred years ago, Pappa Family. The handkerchiefs sewn by this family are very famous.

Later, one group inherited the family title, and the other performed meritorious service on the battlefield, and both became viscounts. One changed his surname to Pappa, and the other changed his surname to Pappa.

"The pirates sacked the castle and massacred people on the island, so we had no choice but to flee."

"What have you decided to do now?" Liszt looked at the damaged sailboat. The sails had been torn and there were several holes in the hull. At this time, the boat had been pulled to the shore. A group of stooped people helped each other get off the boat. "Should we continue to seek refuge in Great Pappa Island, or should we stay in Flower Town?"

Bunir's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light of hope. "Sir, can we... can we stay in Flower Town?"

This is the population rewarded by the mission. Of course, Liszt will not let it go. "Stay, I can give you the status of serfs. There are many wastelands in Flower Town that can be granted to you for planting. Serfs who know a craft can be reused. If you want to leave or stay, report to Sir Gortai."

The ship was damaged and stranded, and they couldn't leave at all. Besides, there was no difference between going to Great Pappa Island and staying at Flower Town.

So after a brief discussion with the other refugees, Bunir reported to Gortai, and all of them stayed, became real serfs of Huahua, and were loyal to Liszt.

Since they have become serfs, it means that these people, including this broken ship, are Liszt's financial assets.

"Teacher Gortai, count the identities of the newly joined serfs, and then add them to each village. In addition, this sailboat must also be cleaned up. I want to know what is in the ship. There will always be some weapons in the ship robbed from pirates, right?"

Gortai has a positive attitude. "Please rest assured, Liszt, these serfs cannot hide even a piece of bread. Everything they carry, as well as all the circumstances of each of them, will be clearly presented in front of you... It only takes half a day."

"Don't forget the ship. If it can be repaired, fix it."

"Of course."
