History does not exist, and the past customs and social development can only be speculated through some knight novels.
This is Liszt's perception of this.
He also doesn't know the age of human origin in this world.
There is definite information that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire has been established for 150 years. Last year, a grand anniversary celebration was held, which left an impression on Liszt.
There are many chivalrous novels about the Sapphire family in China, some of which record that the Sapphire family has been passed down for a thousand years.
As for the Tulip family, there is no such thing as a genealogy. All Liszt knows is his great-grandfather, that is, the father of his grandfather’s grandfather. At that time, the family didn’t have Tulip Elf or Tulip Elf, so there was no The surname Tulip.
Their original surname was "Tile", indicating that their family was originally a commoner class. According to the family history handed down from father to son, grandfather Xuan was born with supernatural powers, followed a nobleman, and worked for the newly founded Sapphire family. He made meritorious service in the war and was enshrined as a knight of the lord.
Since then, the family ranks among the nobility.
The generation of the great-grandfather became a baron; the generation of the great-grandfather became a viscount; the generation of the grandfather got a tulip elf.
Until William Lee inherited the title, the elf evolved into a great elf, and the family name was changed to Tulip. A few years later, Li Weilian became a sky knight, made great achievements in battle, and was conferred the title of Earl of Coral Island by Grand Duke Sapphire.
In order to show that the family has ascended to the ranks of the upper class nobles, the serpentine "李(L)" in William Lee's name became the beginning of the names of the younger generations. Every descendant will wear a serpentine L to show respect to the founder of the family. Called "李XX" or "李X", it can also be "李XXX", "李XXXX"... As for how many "X" there can be, it depends on the mood of the celebrity.
Liszt's understanding—the word "Li L" is probably equivalent to "surname" other than "surname".
His mother's family also has this habit, but using plum (M).
Therefore, the Tulip family has a history of only six generations, spanning about 150 years.
If you go further up, you don't know who your ancestors are.
"Original ancestor, distant ancestor, great ancestor, powerful ancestor, profound ancestor, great ancestor, great grandfather, grandfather, father... the majestic earl family, not to mention the eighteen generations of ancestors, but only remember six generations. It really is a barbaric century." Liszt responded to this Sneering, civilization without history, how can we talk about inheritance.
In his hometown, his family has a genealogy with exact names, but it can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.
As for the traceability of blood relationship, it can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor period.
"There are also these knight novels that boast about the Sapphire family. They are all nonsense. The family's millennium inheritance has a variety of origins. Some say it originated from the southern part of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, some say it migrated from the Blast Furnace Kingdom, and some say it wandered from the distant Blue Dragon Empire. Come on... If the Sapphire family is bragging about themselves behind these novels, it would be too careless."
He really wanted to sort out the general history of this world, but he felt that there was no hope. Among the knight novels he had read, the one that recorded the longest history was a novel called "The Silly Knight and the Red-tailed Fire Dragon".
The story told in this novel happened 10,000 years ago in the Unfalling Glory Empire—but Liszt has verified that the establishment of the Never Falling Glory Empire did not exceed three thousand years.
Never fall into the glorious empire, and it is also the country with the longest reign on the mainland.
It is normal for many countries to be established with the friendship of dragons, and then to decline due to the death or departure of dragons, or even a dragon slaying battle in the middle.
At the beginning of the founding of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, there was a dragon slaying battle.
At that time, the Sapphire Dragon was almost killed by the invaders of the Eagle Kingdom, unable to gain a foothold on the vast continent. On the way to escape, the dragon's blood dyed a mountain range blue, and countless sapphires were formed in the mountain range, which became the important mineral mountain range of the Iron Ridge Kingdom - the Blue Blood Mountain.
Although the dragon did not die, Grand Duke Sapphire I was seriously injured and had to withdraw from the mainland and flee to Jianguo on the island.
Of course, this period of history was inferred by Liszt.
In the knight novels touting the Sapphire family, the origin of the Blue Blood Mountain is that the Sapphire Dragon bit the hostile Eagle Kingdom White Iron Dragon, and the blood stained the mine.
As for why the blood of the white-mouthed iron dragon will create mountains where sapphires can be mined, this... benevolent people see benevolence and wise people see wisdom.
It is enough to fool ordinary people, there is no need to explain it so clearly.
…
Dangdang, knock on the door.
"Please come in." Liszt raised his head from a book called "Guidelines for the Development of Fire Attribute Fighting Qi".
The person who came in was the deputy butler of the castle, Silva, who was in his early forties. He was Louis' deputy and the family's established butler successor.
"Master Liszt, your grandmother, Mrs. Penelope is here and is talking in the living room, accompanied by Master Levi's and Miss Rivera."
"Is grandma here? I'll go right away."
Liszt rubbed his forehead, feeling a little annoyed—his grandmother doesn't want to see him.
His father's dislike was more of his disappointment with him. Now that he had changed his temperament after returning, the Earl no longer showed his dislike. He was obviously delighted by his change. But the grandmother was different, she didn't want to see Liszt, just because Liszt reminded her of Melissa, her daughter-in-law.
Penelope lived in a small castle in Coral City. The reason why she didn't live with her son was because Melissa-mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at odds.
Liszt, who was very much like his mother, became Penelope's punching bag.
But no matter how upset he was, he still had to go downstairs to greet him.
"Grandma, have you come? I feel very relieved to see that you are in good health."
"Oh, look, look, who's here!" The creases on Penelope's face are already thick, she is almost sixty years old, "Liszt, if you don't talk, I thought Melissa came again Against me, that pretty face... thank goodness she's gone to heaven to live in peace before an old woman like me dares to visit my son's castle."
Liszt sat down quietly without any expression on his face, without saying a word.
The old lady didn't want to see him, so why would he bother himself, anyway, he didn't see her often, so just treat him as a stranger and maintain superficial respect.
Li Weila said with a smile: "Liszt, grandma rushed to the castle immediately when she heard that you were coming back. Normally, at this time, she would pray for the family for several hours."
Penelope turned her head away from Liszt and whispered, "I didn't come here just to see him."
Is this probably a dislike of honesty
Liszt thought in his heart that Mrs. Penelope probably loved her grandson, but she just habitually attacked Liszt, who looked exactly like Melissa, a habit of more than ten years—in fact, it doesn’t matter whether she loves her or doesn’t want to see her, Liszt I just want to be a quiet and handsome man.
"I heard from your sister that the town of flowers is more crude than imagined, just like a small village?" Mrs. Penelope asked.
"It's indeed a bit crude, but it's more suitable for development. I already have a plan to develop Flower Town."
"Look, look, this majestic tone has the temperament of our Tulip family. Don't always imitate Melissa's attitude of being unhurried and impatient, as if she is naturally superior to anyone else. She looks alike enough, and her temper is no longer Like, that really killed the old woman, a haze that can't be shaken off."
Liszt didn't answer.
He didn't have much impression of his mother, who died of illness when he was very young.
Mrs. Penelope continued to babble on about Melissa's faults. To sum it up, the Marquis' daughter looked down on me and opposed me everywhere. You must not inherit her shortcomings.
