Before dawn, the Carter butler's voice kept appearing upstairs and downstairs in the castle.

"Tom, cheer up!"

"Thomas, prepare your master's festive attire. Frac Abie, don't make any mistakes!"

"Mrs. Morson, there is dust on the second floor window. Let the maid clean it as soon as possible. We can't leave the impression of laziness to the incoming distinguished guests."

"Oh my god, why do you want the oysters to be dried in the kitchen? Take them away quickly... No, no, no, Erin, absolutely not today!"

"I need to see the water in the castle water tank overflowing, but Jesse, you don't have to carry the water, John and Parker do it. You need to hurry up and inspect all Bug Grass, even if it's a holiday, we can't ignore the most important things!"

"Don't move the whole thing out to dry, you should break it into pieces. It is easier to dry the ice piece by piece." Carter took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head. It was really busy today. He still had a lot of precious crystal tableware that he had not wiped, but he had to explain the trivial matters clearly first.

I watched Jim, the new valet who had just arrived at the castle, struggling to move the water tank that made yesterday's ice to the sun.

He couldn't help but tell the other party that he had to use his brain.

Jim is tall and smart, but he has little experience. Hearing Carter's words, he couldn't help but apologize. "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, I didn't expect this. I will break the ice cubes now and put them into several buckets and basins."

"Don't spill it. It's full of... saltpeter. The master specially ordered it. They are very valuable."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Carter."

After looking around the castle, Carter went up to the second floor again, and happened to see Thomas holding Frac·Abie into Liszt's bedroom.

He also knocked on the door and went in.

"Master, you woke up very early today."

With the help of Thomas, Liszt put on the clothes she hated, as well as the particularly uncomfortable disc-shaped pleated collar "Ruff".

My mood was not very good for a moment. "There was so much noise in the castle, it was a bit difficult for me to fall asleep."

Carter immediately leaned forward, his expression a little uneasy. "I'm sorry, it was my mistake at work that disturbed you, sir."

Liszt was just a little angry when he got out of bed, but when he saw Carter apologizing, his anger quickly subsided. This old man who was loyal to him should not have to bear this small implication. "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Carter, don't blame yourself. Today is the sea day, I have to get up early."

Carter breathed a sigh of relief.

Thomas glanced sideways, a little disappointed - he was looking forward to seeing the master blaming the butler.

After getting dressed, Liszt had a simple breakfast, then rode on Fire Dragon Horse, preparing to patrol the town - today is a festival, and even if only the nobles will celebrate, they still have to have fun with the people and enjoy the support and compliments of the subjects.

At this time, he had already seen Gortai, who was also dressed in costumes.

As well as Marcus, Blair, and Isaiah who were wearing more grand attire, the three of them were not yet nobles with titles.

"Master Baron, Gortai would like to offer you holiday greetings."

"Sir, Marcus would like to offer you holiday greetings."

"Master Baron, Isaiah would like to offer you holiday greetings."

"Master Baron, Blair would like to offer you holiday greetings."

The four of them said hello to Liszt in turn, and meticulously displayed aristocratic etiquette.

Liszt also responded with aristocratic etiquette, "Happy holidays."

Then his four Retainer Knight and twelve prospective Retainer Knight stepped forward to salute and offer holiday greetings. Finally, the servants in the castle put down their work one after another, and under the leadership of Carter, also offered holiday greetings.

When he took Gortai and others, Retainer Knight, to inspect the small town.

From both sides of the road, various phrases such as "Lord, XXX sends you holiday greetings" continued to be heard. The free people touched the ground with one knee and the serfs touched the ground with both knees.

The authority of the nobility is constantly consolidated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people through such rituals.

When civilians become accustomed to kneeling, the foundation of rule will be unbreakable.

"Sir, good news." While inspecting Tomato Hamlet, Liszt met Jesse·Taomi Shui. This former valet assistant has been promoted to a valet and can receive a salary of 2 Copper Coin per day.

"Jesse, what's the good news?"

"I just checked the Tomato Bug grass of Tomato Hamlet and found that Tomato Elf Bug has been conceived."

"Really, this is indeed good news." Liszt was very happy that the seventh Elf Bug in the castle had arrived. He led the inspection team directly to John·Tomato Tanaka of the pole family.

The Tomato Bug grass in the middle is obviously very tall, with red Tomato.

On one of the Little Yellow flowers, a plump red Elf Bug was lazily basking in the sun. John·The pole looked at Elf Bug nervously. He had the obligation to protect Elf Bug for the lord, not to be harmed by anything, and not to be contracted by anyone.

Only lords are eligible to contract Elf Bug.

Only people with fighting spirit and magic can establish a contract.

"Lord, John·The pole would like to offer you holiday greetings."

"Happy holidays, John."

Liszt simply said hello, walked up to Tomato Bug, sprinkled a little jade powder, attracting Tomato Bug. Then he also applied a little jade powder on his fingers, and stretched out his fingers towards the little guy. The fighting spirit of his fingertips was running, Magic Power and the charm of the jade powder were used together, and Tomato Bug opened his mouth and bit it without hesitation.

The feeling of spiritual connection flashed by, and this Tomato Bug had established a contract with Liszt.

Gortai looked at Tomato Bug with envy, and said with a smile, "Today is really a happy day, Tomato Bug seems to have chosen to be conceived today, and I would like to offer holiday greetings to you Liszt." If he had had a Elf Bug in his fiefdom, maybe he would not have ended up bankrupt.

"It's a smart Elf Bug, I can feel it." Liszt smiled, turned to John and said to the pole, "John, The Tomato field where Bug Grass is located will still be cultivated by you. Remember not to harm Bug Grass, it is the most important existence of Tomato Hamlet."

"Lord, please rest assured, John is willing to give his life to protect it!"

He was very excited when he spoke. The Tomato fields close to Bug Grass are all high-yield and high-quality Tomato. This means that he can leave enough Tomato after paying taxes. For him, a wealthy life has begun to take off since Liszt rewards one Narda.

"It will get better and better in the future."

"I want to breed Tomato for my lord for the rest of my life!"

He watched the inspection team go away, focusing on the noble and inviolable back, and he couldn't help but feel excited. "May the glory of the knight always be attached to the lord."
