The Defeated Dragon

Master Levi and Master Lytton are at the Knights Academy. Miss Li Weila is accompanying the old lady to watch a burlesque performance in Coral City. I didn't know you would come today. They won't be back until noon. * WwW.suimeng.lā. .

Louis led Liszt to the upstairs of Tulip Fort.

Because the celebration banquet was not held today, all the members of the Knights returned to their territories first to resolve the affairs of their respective territories. The day after tomorrow, that is, February 23, was the time for the celebration banquet. So the Tulip Castle at this time is not very lively, only a few hundred servants in the castle are busy.

Rondo, Lasse, and Paris are not nobles, so they cannot go upstairs, so they can only wait downstairs.

Master Lister.

Master Lister.

The servants in the Tulip Castle saluted when they saw him.

She passed by the living room soon and saw Mrs. Marie drinking tea. She was drinking tea while listening to the report from the deputy housekeeper Silva, probably dealing with the property of Tulip Castle.

Madam, greetings to you. Liszt greeted politely, revealing a little rustiness.

Mrs. Marie responded kindly: Liszt, why did you arrive today? Your brother, sister and younger brother haven't returned yet. You should inform me earlier so that I can prepare. She is the hostess of Tulip Castle.

There is no need to make preparations. I will stay in Tulip Castle for a few days. I just miss my father and brother so much today, so I came here early.

Oh, yes, you must have a lot to say to your father, go, he is in the study.

Yes.

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Marie, when I came to the study, the doors had already opened, and a servant had already notified the Earl of Liszt's arrival. There were not only the earl in the study, but also several strangers. Judging from their clothes and the way they stood in the study, they could be judged to be officials from Coral Island.

These officials are all minor nobles.

The count looked at Liszt from behind the desk, and said to the group of officials, Go back first, I won't let you eat at noon, I'm going to hold a family banquet.

Yes, my lord. The officials said goodbye one after another.

At the same time, they also greeted Liszt: Master Liszt,

haven't seen you for a long time.

Hello. Liszt responded with a smile. He didn't know any of these people. He spent most of his adult life in the Knight Academy, so he really didn't know who these officials were.

When the officials left, the servants followed suit and closed the door.

Goodbye to the Earl, Liszt's feelings are different again - generally it is difficult to truly establish the relationship between father and son, the body is related by blood, but the soul was not involved before. However, it does not hinder the reconsideration of how to position the earl's relationship with himself from the perspective of interests and family affection.

To put it simply, Liszt increased his sense of identity with the Tulip family.

My predecessor was cowardly and liked to escape, so I felt like a little transparent, not valued by anyone. However, Liszt only came into contact with it a few times, but found some neglected details.

Mrs. Penelope, who is nagging her and doesn’t want to see her, is actually very concerned about her grandson; the sister in the second grade has been bullying Liszt, but she has not acted excessively; the brother who is greedy for money points more at Mrs. Mary and Lytton , not much against Liszt.

Although Mrs. Mary and Lytton looked down on Liszt, they continued to maintain the harmony on the surface.

Just now, the simple conversation with Mrs. Marie made Liszt feel that Mrs. Marie became more kind—probably because he understood that Liszt would not be mediocre in the future, so he had to face up to how to deal with Liszt. relationship—even if you can’t be close, you have to get as close as possible.

But what surprised Liszt the most was actually the earl.

This powerful sky knight, the sea wave swordsman Li William Tulip, is not as indifferent to his second son as in the memory of his predecessor.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Liszt who was becoming more and more graceful.

Stretching out his hand, motioned for him to sit down and talk.

...

The previous life always felt that the earl was very disappointed in him. After all, at the coming-of-age ceremony, the baron who entrusted him to the most remote town was only given four elf worms by the elves.

Compared with Li Weila's distribution ceremony, there is a huge gap.

This once affected the feelings of the traverser Liszt.

He felt that the fact was that the Earl did not pay much attention to the second son, but after he digested the memory imprint of his predecessor and analyzed it with the rationality of an adult, he felt that it might not be a simple disregard—if he really did not pay attention, he could make Liszt a company. A quasi-noble without a title.

This is the case for many second sons of nobles, who have no fief and no title.

But the earl gave him the title of baron and the fiefdom of the town, but the position was a bit worse and the material compensation was a bit less. It is far from not paying attention to it, and it is more important than many second sons of nobles.

Even, on the first sea festival after enfeoffment, the earl brought his family to Huahua Town for the festival.

I'm afraid there is some disappointment. After all, I have placed high hopes... The remote fiefdom and the title of baron, I hope that the predecessor can live like this... After all, with the title, you don't have to work hard to go to the battlefield. The town can maintain food and drink , but can’t form a knight squad, let alone go to the battlefield.”

These thoughts flashed through Liszt's mind quickly, but he wasn't sure.

He is not good at family affection.

My lord father, when I received the news of your safe return, the stone in my heart was quickly thrown away. I am very happy to see that everything is going well with you.

I made you worry. The earl smiled, This time the development order ended in a hurry, and the results were relatively shabby. Fortunately, your brother has experienced the transformation of a war and matured a lot.

Is everything all right, brother?

Yes, he is more mature and composed now than he used to be, and most importantly, he has established his own prestige. There is nothing more gratifying to a father than seeing his heir mature, When I returned to Coral Island and heard from you immediately.

Liszt smiled.

The count took out the fine red wine in the cupboard, and poured a glass for himself and his second son: News worth celebrating, so, where is your Zyra?

My servant looks after it.

The count rang the bell and called for the servants. Liszt immediately said, Please tell my servants so they can bring Zyra over.

The servant takes command.

The count said again: Do you want to hear the story of the battlefield first, or do you want to talk about the development of Huahua Town first?

I want to hear the story of the battlefield first. Liszt said without hesitation.

Surprised for a moment, the earl sighed: Sure enough, a warm castle will restrict people's ambitions. What the chicks need is to keep flying... The story of the battlefield, I'm afraid Levi's will drag you to talk about it all day and night, so I won't talk about it. Let's play a war game.

The war situation deduction game is a kind of primitive war chess, which is used for military situation deduction.

The cardboard with the map of the Eagle Kingdom's coastal area was spread out, and crystal sculptures symbolizing castles, knights, and sky knights were placed on them one by one.

The game is ready to begin.
