The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 2: Snake script composed of smoke

Grilled goat, poached lamprey, a small portion of apple puree and pear slices, hopped ale, and white bread made with fine wheat flour.

This is Liszt's dinner.

Western-style food doesn't suit his taste very much, but he doesn't know how to cook at all, and he can't cook home-cooked dishes that he likes. Moreover, in the atmosphere of this world, nobles are strictly forbidden to enter the kitchen and warehouse where servants should go. If they go there, it is against noble etiquette and they will be laughed at.

Of course, the court is an exception.

The chefs and servants of the palace are all served by nobles from various small lords. Liszt's father, the Earl of Coral Island, served as a groom for the new generation of Grand Duke Sapphire. Responsible for feeding Duke Sapphire's beloved steed, a dragon-blooded BMW.

Until now, the Earl of Coral Island still enters the palace from time to time as a groom.

He was very happy with this, for fear that other nobles would replace him as a groom and hinder his intimate relationship with the Grand Duke.

Similarly, Grand Duke Sapphire also served as a personal servant for His Majesty the King, Iron Ridge Kingdom, his suzerain, serving food and drink.

Basically, the commoners are the servants of the nobles, and the minor nobles are the servants of the great nobles.

Only when you become the king of a country can you be considered a master.

"Fortunately, here in Huahua Town, I am the only owner, and I don't have to serve anyone." Levi thought to himself while eating an unsatisfactory dinner.

The earl is his father, and he doesn't like himself, so he basically doesn't bother himself.

After dinner, the old housekeeper, Carter, directed the maid to clean up the tableware, while the personal servant brought the wash water and waited for Liszt to rinse his mouth.

After a set of procedures was over, Carter left with the servants: "I'm right outside the door, master and two gentlemen, please give me your orders if you have anything to do."

"Trouble, Mr. Carter." Liszt showed a gentlemanly smile. In terms of aristocratic etiquette, he was influenced by his predecessor, and he didn't need to take the initiative to learn it, it would show it naturally.

Even when dealing with humble servants, one must be polite and respectful - it doesn't matter whether they are beaten or killed in private, or how perverted they are, on the surface they must be aristocratic.

"It is my honor to serve you." Carter closed the door smoothly.

"Liszt." Gao Ertai took a sip of the tea with honey, and said, "The elves should be used as soon as possible, but the town's finances are really bad. The previous administrative officer was a fool, and doing nothing would only oppress the serfs. He left us a mess!"

"I know, the teacher will investigate as soon as possible to see where the elf worms are suitable."

"Of course, that's my job."

Liszt turned to look at Marcus: "Will it be difficult to investigate the monsters in the area near Flower Town in Thorn Ridge? As the lord, I must pay attention to the fact that monsters often harass the farmers."

Marcus replied: "The Thorn Ridge is very big, and the activities of monsters are not fixed. You only have four retinue knights. Even if I find out all the monsters, there is still no way to defend them. The patrol team is useless at all. They are a group of villains and rogues." , in the face of monsters, you will only pee your pants."

Huahua Town is located at the northeastern tip of Coral Island, surrounded by thorny mountains, and there are many monsters, so few caravans are willing to trade here.

They can only produce and sell themselves, without the help of elves, it is difficult for farmers to support themselves, and they have to pay taxes to the ruler of Coral Island, the Tulip family.

The nobles only care about how much tax they can collect, and don't care about the life and death of farmers at all.

The Tulip family is no exception.

The current Liszt, however, cannot remain indifferent. He has always been a new youth bathed in the glorious banner of communism. Now that he has become the lord of a place, saving the people from the dire straits has become what he must do—only Huahua Town is rich, and as a lord, you can get better enjoyment.

Whether in public or private, he wants to develop Huahua Town.

"There is always a way to deal with it, Mr. Marcus, after the knight class tomorrow, you will accompany me to take a walk around Thorn Ridge. As a lord, I haven't had a good look at what Flower Town looks like yet."

"Liszt, this is not a good idea, just go around the town, Thorn Ridge shouldn't go. Don't forget, you almost died in Thorn Ridge." Galtai stopped immediately.

Liszt shook his head: "I accidentally ate the poisonous fruit last time, I will pay attention this time."

Marcus said flatly: "I will notify your four knights at night to arrange a route for patrolling Thorn Ridge to ensure your safety."

"Trouble."

"You should be careful." Gao Ertai said helplessly.

Liszt didn't say any more, the two teachers didn't know his real plan, his body has not fully recovered, according to his temperament, he must be fully recovered before he is willing to go out - but nobles go out, either by carriage or on horseback , unfortunately, he has no carriage.

Riding a horse, in my memory, is not an easy task, because there are no saddles and stirrups here - a knight with fighting spirit can ride a horse or any kind of mount without the aid of auxiliary equipment.

"On the contrary, the saddle will also limit the performance of the knight's riding skills... But without a saddle, there are always some buttocks..."

Sending off the two teachers, Liszt thought.

"Master, when do you plan to go to bed?" the valet came in and asked.

"After ten o'clock, Thomas, add an extra candle to my study now. I want to read." Liszt instructed the valet to leave.

There was a look of disappointment on Thomas' face. He hadn't been able to show himself for several days. Liszt would always order him away instead of requiring him to accompany him.

As a valet, he felt that he was not liked by the baron and worried about his job.

The fact is true, Liszt doesn’t like personal servants, and every time Thomas serves him to dress, it will make Liszt feel goosebumps—the evil aristocratic system!

Why can't male nobles have personal maids!

The study brightened as Thomas brought a candle and left. Liszt got up and opened the curtains, and through the window of the castle, he could see a few lights in the small town not far away.

very dim.

In a small town where you can’t get enough to eat, there is no such thing as nightlife, only boundless silence.

"Is this my territory? It's poor and backward, but it completely belongs to me. The area of a town belongs to my independent kingdom... I will make it a paradise!"

In a trance.

In front of Liszt, there was a faint smoke. The smoke twisted and formed abstract characters one by one. The characters were like countless small snakes twisted together. This is the common character of the Iron Ridge Kingdom - snake script, and its origin is no longer testable. There is no custom of recording history here.

As a member of the soul wearer, who inherited all the memories of his predecessor, Liszt can understand this snake text.

A piece of content that puzzled him for a week.

"Mission: As a lord, you need to know everything about the territory. Please visit Huahua Town to understand the crisis in the territory and prepare for future development. Reward: The sublimation of fighting spirit."

The content is short and uncomplicated.

But what Liszt didn't understand was why he could see the smoky snake script, and searched the memory of his predecessor, and the smoky snake script appeared since he was a child. But at that time, the smoke was so light and blurry that he couldn't see what the serpent script was saying, and he always thought he was hallucinating.

Liszt didn't see the text clearly until after the soul wear.

Dazed for a moment, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the smoke, but the smoke disappeared immediately, which proved the idea that it was a hallucination.

But the current Liszt doesn't think it's an illusion, maybe it's the benefit of the traverser, the embodiment of a certain system? Not sure, he decided to check it out.

As long as you patrol the territory, you can complete the task, and whether you can get rewards at that time is the proof.

If you can't get it, it means it's just an illusion.

I got it, which means it's a benefit.

Is it the time traveler's gold finger—the time traveler didn't move, but the gold finger went first
