The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 29: Dialogue between Liszt and the Earl

Views:

"I haven't seen each other for two months. Master Liszt looks more energetic than before. How is life in Huahua Town?" Louis asked with a smile.

"Everything is fine."

"That's good, the master has talked about you several times, and he is also very concerned about your current life."

Will the Earl of Coral Island talk about Liszt's life? Liszt felt very suspicious. The Earl really wanted to care about Liszt, and he would not entrust Liszt to a dilapidated town like Huahua Town.

When he returned home, Liszt didn't feel ashamed of his hometown.

The soul in the body comes from another world far away, and the memories of those previous lives are just movie pictures, which cannot affect his current emotions. There is no blood-thicker-water relationship between him and the Tulip family, and everything is more like a "game" with Liszt as the role.

The busy servants in the castle bowed and saluted when they saw the three young masters and young ladies.

The members of the Tulip family living here are only the Earl, Countess, Levi's, Lytton, and Rivera who often comes back to live, but there are more than two hundred servants.

Moreover, the servants hardly had much free time, and they were constantly busy from morning to night.

The real job can be summed up in one - to maintain the luxurious life of the nobility.

"I'm going to take a shower, I can't stand the smell on my body." Li Wei pulled into the castle, turned around and left, "Father asked me, and said I'll be there in a while."

Levi seemed to be the owner of the castle: "Liszt, do you need to take a shower first? Your room, my father has always kept it for you, including the clothes you didn't take, and there are servants who take care of it."

"I'm not a sister who is obsessed with cleanliness. I'll wait for my father here. If my brother has something to do, feel free to go to work. I don't need to entertain you."

"That's right, the castle is also your home. Well, I have to talk to Mr. Frank about black tulips. He is helping me with the planting, sales and pharmaceuticals. There are also elves, and they need to be settled. , these delicate little creatures, you can't be neglected in the slightest."

Levi's also left.

Marcus followed a footman to set up the horses, leaving only Liszt and a few footmen who were welcoming guests in the living room. With his hands behind his back, he admired the crystal lamps on the stone pillars—the amount of gemstones such as crystals in the castle represents the wealth of the nobles, because most gemstones come from dragons.

In Liszt's hometown, the role of gems is probably to look good.

Here, gems are natural magical attachments, which contain magical powers, and gems are indispensable for making magical items. The crystal lamp on the stone pillar in front of me is a magic item, made of low-quality crystal, it can be lit until the magic power in the crystal is exhausted—then the magician or knight will replenish the magic power.

This cycle goes on and on until the crystal is worn out and becomes an ordinary stone.

"A crystal lamp without any engraved patterns, is it worth admiring for so long?" Accompanied by the sound of boots hitting the ground, someone spoke from behind Liszt.

Liszt turned around, and on the stairs leading to the second floor from the living room of the castle, he saw the owner of Tulip Castle—a middle-aged man with pale blond hair, with a pair of unattractive gray-green eyes. Human sapphire eyes are very different.

Ordinary faces, nothing special about them.

In the crowd, Lee William Tulip would probably be inconspicuous. But he is the owner of Coral Island, a sky knight who has earned the title of Earl through his own efforts.

Both Levi's and Li Weila are more like their father than their mother, so they are not good-looking. They only have sapphire eyes, all inherited from their mother.

Liszt inherited his mother's appearance and was too handsome.

"It's probably because I'm used to lighting candles, and I'm not used to the light of crystal lamps for a while."

"Why, are you complaining about the life in Huahua Town?" William Li stood on the stairs and did not continue to go down.

"The life in Huahua Town is very free, I am very satisfied, my lord." Liszt bowed and saluted, "Your body is still as strong as usual, and your fighting spirit is about to overflow."

"Your vindictiveness has also increased, which is very good. It is also very good to be content with a poor life and not complain." William Li nodded, "Where are your brother and sister?"

"I have something to do, I'll be here in a while."

"Come with me to the study." William Li turned and went upstairs.

Liszt followed him upstairs and walked into the earl's study room. This study room is very large. There are many thick leather books on the bookshelf of one wall—all of them are sprayed with deodorant and freshener, so there will be no thick paper. The unique fishy smell of leather paper. On the opposite side of the bookshelf by the window, there are still many books piled up on the mahogany desk.

Slap!

The earl unscrewed a bottle of Crescent wine from the previous year and poured it into two tall crystal glasses. The amber red wine swayed like blood in the glasses, crystal clear.

Picking it up, he handed a glass to his third son. The earl seemed a little surprised: "Two months of independent life seems to have sharpened your temper." The former Liszt was very reluctant to let go in front of him, and the relationship between father and son The relationship between them is awkward, and now Liszt looks very calm.

"Thank you." Liszt took the wine, "I understand the lord's responsibility, I need to make a change."

"Positive change."

"I think so."

After exchanging a few words, both father and son found that there seemed to be not many family topics to talk about. So the earl raised his glass, drank the red wine, and changed the subject abruptly: "Has the matter of the black tulip been settled? How much did Levi's pay you?"

"Tulip Fort is in charge of planting and sales, and I have ten years of revenue share, 30%, only for the cooperation between me, Levi's and Li Weila."

The count pondered for a moment: "Is it just the cooperation between the three of you?"

"Yes."

"You shouldn't abandon Li Dun, he is also your own brother."

"He's still young, isn't it good for Toshi to be under his father's wing? My brother and sister and I are both adults, so it's natural to cooperate." Liszt smiled slightly, without deliberately explaining or clearing up his own thoughts——Lyton If he doesn't look down on him, how can he look down on Li Dun.

As if he only remembered now, Liszt asked, "Where are Madam and Litton? I haven't seen them."

"Madam took Lyton to Snakespear City. Lyton's uncle's birthday is today." The countess came from a baron family in Coral Island, which was located in a small town near Snakespear City.

After that, there was another silence.

Liszt did not inherit the father-son relationship with the earl, and he couldn't chat like a stranger, so it was difficult to grasp the relationship between them, so he simply said less and less.

The Earl was a little unaccustomed to Liszt's current temperament. Compared with the previous submissiveness, now it was more like an equal dialogue, and he couldn't find the feeling to be reprimanded.

After a while, he said: "It's still early for dinner, you can go around or go to Coral City to meet your friends."

"No, I want to stay in the study and read."

"I've never seen you like reading so much before." The count drank the red wine, got up and left, "If you want to read, I'll ask someone to prepare a cart, and bring it back when you return to Flower Town."
