The Defeated Dragon

The day before the New Year's Eve, the three brothers and sisters finally arrived at the Fort of Long Taro under the escort of the knight team from Red Crab Island. The news of the encounter with the ghost ship was also rushed to the ears of Marquis Merlin.

Levi's, Rivera, Liszt, I am finally relieved to see that you are safe and sound. You don't know how worried I was when I heard the news of the ghost ship.

Mayopal rode a horse and went far away from Taro Castle. When he saw the three brothers and sisters, he kept saying, Grandfather, Father, and Mother are all worried about you. I knew I would encounter ghosts. The inconceivable existence of a ship should send a fleet of family ships to pick you up.

Whether it's an aristocratic courtesy or an outpouring of true feelings, the three brothers and sisters were moved by May Opal's gesture.

The unhappiness of encountering the ghost ship also dissipated many disasters that could not be predicted or avoided by manpower. I can only admit that I am unlucky, and there is no need to vent my anger on others.

Moreover, there is no damage to itself.

The atmosphere returned to its usual harmony.

At the gate of the Taro Castle, Liszt saw his uncle and aunt. Uncle Messiro is tall, thin, handsome, and looks somewhat similar to the portrait of Melissa in Tulip Castle. Although my aunt already has a lot of crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, she is still a dignified lady.

Young Liszt has grown up, you have inherited all of Melissa's advantages, and you are even more handsome than your cousin. The aunt said kindly.

Liszt bowed to thank him, and someone always praised him for being handsome.

May Opal spread his hands and said: Mother, please praise others behind your son's back, it will hurt my self-confidence.

Seeing that everyone had already greeted, Messiro said, Don't stand outside the door and talk, come in. Your grandpa is waiting for you. He heard about the ghost ship incident and is worried about you.

Enter the magnificent Taro Fort.

Naturally, the three brothers and sisters immediately went to meet the owner of the castle, the Marquis of Merlin, one of the seven Marquises of the Grand Duchy. Marquis Merlin was walking on the corridors of the castle with a cane. The sky knight who once soared into the sky looked no different from ordinary old people.

Grandpa. The three siblings shouted.

Marquis Merlin pushed away the servant who was about to help him, with the same majestic expression on his face: Well, you are here, I know about the ghost ship, are you not scared out of your wits?

of course not,

With a long sword in hand and fighting spirit in his body, even a ghost ship can do it. Levi's bragged immediately, and it couldn't be considered bragging.

He deserves recognition for his courage in the face of danger on board.

At least Liszt recognized Levi's. At that time, Levi's not only did not escape, but also cared about the safety of his younger sister and younger brother, and had the responsibility of his elder brother.

Well said, with fighting spirit and long sword, as well as war horse and long spear, a knight is invincible. Marquis Merlin stretched out his hand, and slapped Levi's shoulder heavily, It's a pity that I have been traveling across the blue sea for nearly forty years. It’s a pity to meet a ghost ship.”

Others were afraid of avoiding it, but Marquis Merlin felt regretful.

The vision brought by different strengths is indeed different, and perhaps the ghost ship is not a rare thing for Marquis Merlin.

At his height, his understanding of the world will definitely be deeper.

After he finished speaking, he said to Messiro: Have you made arrangements? Send the fleet and knights from Red Crab Island to patrol the sea and find the ghost ship. If you can catch it, you can catch it. If you can't catch it, you can't. To crush it.

I have already notified Earl Schalke to lead a team to investigate, and invited the sorcerer Oked to accompany him.

Don't hesitate, patrol the waters between Red Crab Island and Coral Island! As long as any pirate or ghost ship is destroyed directly, I don't care if it is a natural disaster or a conspiracy. The anger of the Long Taro Castle must be vented! The Marquis said lightly.

Messiro nodded hastily: Don't worry, Father, I will definitely tell Earl Shaker carefully.

No, you tell Schalke to come see me first.

Yes.

After dealing with the arrangements for the ghost ship, the Marquis said to the three siblings: Forget about the ghost ship, and celebrate the New Year in the Taro Castle. Tomorrow, your Aunt Melinda will bring her two boys over. When young people get together, they can always find something happy.”

Okay, grandpa.

The aunt came over and informed: The living room has tea and snacks set up, father, take the children to the living room to chat, it's very cold in the corridor.

Don't treat me like a waste, my vindictiveness is still boiling. Although Marquis Merlin had said this, he did not refuse the proposal, and returned to the living room surrounded by the three brothers and sisters.

Drinking hot milk tea, chatting about family affairs.

The aunt is a talkative lady who always dominates the topic and asks about the development of the three siblings.

Naturally, Liszt inevitably talked about his Flower Town. He briefly mentioned some developments in the town, such as the production of flower soap, the refining of seafood oyster sauce, and the birth of the thorn elf Zyra.

Marquis Merlin liked to hear these contents very much, and he said solemnly: Having an elf that produces potions, Liszt, is the blessing of the knight's glory, but you have to work hard yourself. The sky knight is not just your brother's goal. , you also have this goal.”

Grandpa, of course I understand that my talent is indeed so-so, but my vision is not narrow.

At this time May Opal suddenly interjected: Grandfather, you may not know that Liszt also brought an intermediate monster, which is his pet!

An intermediate monster as a pet?

It's Dou Sen, a tyrannical dog I raised since I was a child, accidentally ate a bloodline fruit, and evolved into an intermediate monster, but it can only release one kind of magic.

Take it here and let me see.

The Marquis of Merlin had inconvenient legs and feet, so Liszt directly asked the servant Thomas to bring Dou Sen to the living room. Fortunately, the living room of Long Taro Castle is very large, and Dou Sen's huge figure is not inconspicuous here.

Wow!

Dou Sen came to Liszt's feet, wagging his tail docilely. It has been able to ignore any human beings and freely enter and exit any scene.

What a big black dog. My aunt exclaimed. She is obviously a qualified lady who has been pampered all year round. Apart from eating monster meat, I am afraid that even wild monsters are rarely seen. It is bigger than a tiger, and it is really It is as obedient as a dog, Liszt, how did you tame it?

Liszt smiled slightly, and Dou Sen was his face: Raise it like a dog, whip it if you don't obey it, and reward it with jerky if you obey it.

It's unbelievable to raise a monster like a dog, Liszt, you made my awe of monsters disappear. Mayopal said exaggeratedly.

Messiro nodded and commented: In terms of size, it can be called a qualified intermediate monster, much larger than ordinary bulldogs.

On Coral Island, no one is more honored by knights than Liszt. He is a lucky guy. Levi looked at Dou Sen enviously, and said with a strong desire.

Marquis Merlin just glanced at Dou Sen. He had seen countless monsters, including many high-level monsters.

But he spoke highly of Liszt's breeding methods: You have a lot of ideas about raising monsters. Sometimes we exaggerate the cunning and danger of monsters. In fact, they are just beasts with a little bit of magic... You should train them more. Cooperating with knights, it can exert power comparable to sky knights on the battlefield in the future.
