The Defeated Dragon

In the afternoon, Earl Schalke came to the Fort of Long Taro and asked about going out to sea to destroy pirates and ghost ships. The three Liszt brothers and sisters need to provide him with some clues to confirm the ghost ship.

I don't like Schalke.

Mayopal, who came to call Liszt, said in a low voice, Actually, I don't like the two earls on Red Crab Island, especially Schalke.

Liszt, who had just woken up, asked curiously, Why?

They lack reverence for the Taro Fort.

Liszt nodded.

He understood. To put it bluntly, Uncle Messiro was not strong enough to establish enough prestige. As the next generation of Marquis of Red Crab Island, he lacked the temperament to convince his followers.

May Opal continued: Grandpa's health is not good this year. The Red Crab Island did not respond to the Grand Duke's development order. There are some noises below. I know that Schalke is the source of the noise.

After a while.

Liszt met Earl Schalke, whose full name was Schalke Broccoli, and his surname was derived from the broccoli elf he owned.

Tall and mighty, with a very loud voice.

After May Opal's reminder, Liszt paid special attention to Earl Schalke's attitude during the questioning process, and found that he was still in awe of the Marquis of Merlin. But for Messiro and Mayopal, they are a little contemptuous, or can not be said to be contemptuous, it should be that the status is very even.

There was no disrespect in the conversation between him and Messiro, but it also made people feel that Messiro would be his future lord.

Put the positions of the two on the same line.

Then to May Opal, that is purely condescending like an elder. No wonder Mayopal was unhappy with him, no one would like his followers and put on airs of elders to himself, even though Mayopal was not yet the Marquis of Red Crab Island, but only the heir of an heir.

But in the knight system, Mayopal is the master, Schalke is the slave, and the master-slave relationship is clear.

No wonder when I came to Red Crab Island, Mei Obo came to win me over. The structure of Red Crab Island is obviously that the master is weak and the servant is strong... Once Grandpa Merlin dies, Uncle Messiro may not be able to control the overall situation of Red Crab Island.

As a lord, you cannot control your followers.

Then the ending will be embarrassing,

It is an inevitable result for the followers to leave the lord. A lord who would leave even his followers is definitely the biggest joke among nobles.

Liszt suddenly understood why his cousin was still chasing after him even though he knew that the Grand Duke's youngest daughter had a bad reputation.

Maybe he wanted to take advantage of the princess to suppress the followers of Red Crab Island.

A small population is not a good thing for noble families.

Then should I come to Red Crab Island to develop? With my current development attitude, a viscount can't escape. In the future, if I show my strength, my uncle and cousin will probably rely on me more, and it will be easy to become an earl. Liszt thought Shaking, I really want to take a shortcut.

Rather than going to the battlefield to exchange your life for a title, how can it be easier to learn how to drill camp.

Even so, he can't make him give up his business on Black Horse Island and switch to Red Crab Island for the time being. And the effect of icing on the cake is far inferior to sending charcoal in the snow.

He suddenly thought of a picture.

If you have become a sky knight and obtained the title of viscount, but your father is still an earl. So how can he surpass his father and become an earl?

At that time, he will either become the direct lineal earl of the grand duke, or follow a marquis who can bestow the title of earl. At that time, the uncle's family, who must have been struggling to support the Red Crab Island, would beg for the earl's treatment when they came to the Red Crab Island, which is definitely many times better than going to the Red Crab Island now.

I feel a little sorry for my love.

But the kinship between nobles always has to give way to interests. Liszt also understands that if he can't show his value, the Changyu family will never pay anything for him.

Of course, I'm thinking too much now. The Changyu family hasn't started to win me over this trip...

Thinking room.

Earl Schalke knew the cause and effect of the ghost ship, and immediately saluted Marquis Merlin: Please rest assured, my lord, as soon as the new year is over, I will lead the fleet and knights to flatten the waters around the Red Crab Island, so that all opponents Red Crab Island gossipers shut their mouths!

Very well, I look forward to your performance.

Schalke saluted again, nodded to Messiro and Mayop, and strode away.

...

New Year's Day is the first day of each year, January 1st.

All people in all countries will choose to put down their work on this day to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

In the morning, I habitually wake up when the sky is still dark.

Lying on the bed, Liszt called out the long-lost smog mission: Mission: Tired for a year, even the lord needs to relax, enjoy the upcoming New Year's Eve, think about the development path for next year, broaden interpersonal relationships, or do nothing , Waiting for the end of the annual festival. Reward: Unknown reward.

The reward is unknown, the task is still not completed, and it will probably take today.

Around ten thirty in the morning.

Liszt was teasing the spit-like scallop elf, and Anna, the maid who had helped him wipe his face, kept giving him all the winks.

At this time, the servant of Long Taro Castle came to inform him that a new guest had arrived.

The New Year's Day is a family holiday, and I came to visit Changyu Castle today, so I knew without asking that it was Liszt's aunt's family who had arrived.

Sure enough, at the gate of the castle, Liszt, together with his brothers and sisters, met his mother's sister, Melinda Changyu, the second daughter of the Marquis. And her husband, Roland Songcone, Viscount of Longtail City, and her two sons Russell Songcone and Raleigh Songcone.

And Russell's wife, with her just-turned-year-old daughter wrapped up in a cotton ball,

Russell and Raleigh are both Liszt's cousins.

The order of age among the cousins ​​is about 25-year-old Mayopal Longyu, 24-year-old Levi's Tulip, 22-year-old Russell Pinecone, 20-year-old Rivera Tulip, 19-year-old Raleigh Pine cones, and the 17-year-old Liszt Tulip, everyone is a year older.

Russell's daughter is Liszt's only junior.

Aunt and Uncle, Liszt sends his greetings to you, Happy New Year. Liszt stepped forward to greet these two relatives, but he didn't have a deep memory of his previous life.

Since Melissa passed away, Li William and Red Crab Island had less and less communication, so the three siblings came to visit the Marquis Merlin at most, and rarely visited their aunt.

Happy New Year's Day Liszt, you've grown so big, you're really tall. Melinda was a fat lady, but unfortunately she didn't inherit the good looks of the Changyu family.

And it seems that luck is not good, like Melissa, their sisters are all married to viscounts.

But Li William was promoted to Earl early, and Roland Pine Cone was still Viscount. Even in the previous impression, the aunt's two sons are more worthless than myself.

Quietly cast the magic eye.

Liszt observed that, sure enough, the total fighting spirit of the two cousins ​​was about the same as that of Li Weila, and had not reached the level of the elite earth knights.
