Chapter 8: Chapter 28 Tulip Castle in Blood
It was late at night, and after the barbecue party, the knights went to the town to rest.
Levis and Li Weiwei also entered the room separately. Old housekeeper Carter took a glass of apple juice instead of red wine and walked into the study.
"Master, you look sober now and not drunk."
"Thank you." He took the apple juice and took a sip. It had a refreshing fruity taste. The alcohol content of beer can only fill your stomach and is hardly intoxicating.
Under the candle light, Carter's face looked unnatural.
Liszt discovered this during the day: "Mr. Carter, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, sir."
"You must speak up if there is a situation. Don't force it. Although the castle cannot be separated from the steward, your health is more important. Take care of yourself."
"Thank you." Old Carter almost burst into tears.
"Tomorrow, when the elf bugs have completed their assimilation, I will follow the convoy to the Coral City. I may leave the Coral Island for a few days, and you can make arrangements for things in the castle."
"Please don't worry, sir."
"Actually, there is nothing to worry about. Except for a few elf bugs, Dou Sen and Li Long must be taken care of. The black tulips must also be visited for me once a day. In addition, the construction of the horse farm outside the castle must not be stopped. I hope When I get back, I'll be able to place the alfalfa bugs."
The task is always the first priority.
After a brief chat, we went back to sleep, and the night passed like this.
The next morning, the eight tulip elf bugs completed their assimilation into the black tulips, and the convoy set off immediately. Liszt rode on a dragon horse, accompanied by Marcus and Thomas. The castle was entrusted to Carter, and the town was entrusted to Galtai, with the cooperation of his four knights.
"Teacher Gao Ertai, when I come back, I need to see the patrol team patrolling from Thorn Ridge to the east coast."
"As you wish, I will train them well." Gao Ertai said easily.
"Then I'll set off. Well, I'll bring a few bottles of gin with me on the way back."
"Wow, this is great!"
On the back of the fire dragon's horse, Liszt turned around. At the gate of the castle, Butler Carter, with a kind of servant, watched quietly. He no longer hesitated and kicked the horse's belly lightly. The fire dragon horse immediately ran out and followed the convoy.
I feel a little excited.
The predecessor was very familiar with Coral Island, but in a strict sense, this was his first time to leave Flower Town and see the outside world.
A medieval custom wrapped in magic, an aristocratic system ruled by knights.
After walking out of Thorn Ridge, most of the land we set foot on was directly owned by the earl. Only some small towns were baronies entrusted by the earl, and there were also a group of smaller villages and villages that were the fiefdoms of the knights. There is only one tetrarch Viscount in the entire Coral Island, and that is the Count's follower when he started out, Yonas Rubble.
But besides the coral island, there is another small island, which is another viscount follower of the count, Trik Humulus.
There are a total of six cities, one large, five small, and six on the Coral Island - the Coral City at the foot of Tulip Castle is the largest city; Beigu City, White Birch City, Yulin City, and Snake Spear City are all owned by the Earl; Gravel Castle and its affiliates The Gravel City is owned by Viscount Yunus.
From Flower Town to Coral City, you need to pass through North Valley City and Baihua City.
However, the convoy did not stop at the two small towns. It only had a simple meal at the castle courtyard in Beigucheng and then went straight to Coral City. At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the horse's hooves stepped into a sea of flowers, Coral City had arrived.
The flowers are all kinds of tulips.
Most of them are potions, and a small part are ornamental flowers - the tulips grown by the Tulip family in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire are famous far and wide.
The sea of flowers bullies the hillside.
To the left of the main road is the Coral City with towering city walls. The city is facing the sea and has a busy dock. Liszt looked far away and could see "advanced" ketch boats parked on the pier.
This world has slowly transitioned from the era of oars to the era of sails.
It was by relying on sailboats that the original conquerors of the Sapphire Grand Duchy came to the archipelago from the mainland and established this archipelago country.
The only way to travel across the sea is a sailboat.
"Unfortunately, sails are probably the end of ships, but there is not so much steel, which gave birth to the age of ironclads and even the age of steamships."
Liszt sighed softly in his heart, retracted his distant gaze, and turned to the right side of the road.
On the right are mountains. One side of the mountains facing the sea is a steep cliff, and the other side is a gentle slope. The Tulip Castle is built on a cliff, and a wide road paved with gravel winds from the entrance of the castle to the Coral City at the foot of the mountain. The tall castle, like a flag, stands on the highest point of the coral island.
The pointed tower pierces the blue sky.
The thick rocks are connected with the mountains. Surrounded by flowers, it is solemn and solemn, showing the majestic momentum of a fortress. Ten years ago, Liszt remembered that his family came to Coral Island and built such a tall and sturdy Tulip Castle in just ten years. During this period, hundreds of serfs even died from exhaustion.
To this day, the castle is still expanding piecemeal.
The glory of the nobility has always been based on blood - this is just the count's castle. It is said that the castle of Grand Duke Sapphire has been built for a hundred years. The corpses of serfs under the cliff of the castle are piled up to a depth of dozens of meters.
"It looks pale gray, but it's actually blood red. Instead of living here, I prefer the small castle in Flower Town. At least I can live there with peace of mind."
Liszt felt heavy.
Following my brother and sister, I headed towards this familiar yet unfamiliar castle.
On the way, they met a group of knights coming out of the castle. The leading knight saluted respectfully to Levis: "Master Levis, good luck on your trip."
"Have a good trip, Captain Mickey." Levi's bowed in return.
Captain Mickey saluted Li Weiwei again: "Miss Li Weiwei, good luck on your trip."
"Have a good trip, Captain Mickey."
At this time, Captain Mickey looked at Liszt, with the same impeccable etiquette: "Master Liszt, welcome home."
"Long time no see, Captain Mickey." Liszt leaned forward. The knight in front of him was the resident knight captain of Tulip Castle and was responsible for the safety protection of Tulip Castle. Mickey himself was a baron, the fiefdom was managed by his family, and he held a position at Tulip Castle.
Led by the knight team, they arrived at the gate of the castle a moment later.
Butler Louis stood at the gate to greet the three brothers and sisters, with a warm smile on his old face: "Oh, the happy thing is always to see the master's heirs return to the castle like a tired bird returning to its nest. "
"Grandpa Louis, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is still so strong." Liszt handed the reins of the fire dragon horse to the servant and said hello to Louis.
Louis is at least sixty years old this year. He first followed Liszt's grandfather as a personal servant.
Now that he is the steward of Tulip Castle, even an earl will respect him greatly - this is the honor and status that a person who has devoted his whole life to the Tulip family should receive.
