There is such a group of nobles.
They followed the lord to fight, but the lord died on the battlefield. The fief lacked successors and was directly incorporated by the superior lord. But the superior lord refused to recognize the territorial power of the followers of the dead lord, so their territory was deprived, leaving only a useless title of nobleman.
There are also such a group of liars.
They are best at forging their aristocratic identities, such as a bankrupt knight, a follower of a baron whose lord died, or a viscount whose territory was confiscated. All in all, they have so-called aristocratic status and fabricate various backgrounds.
The country is vast and the transportation is backward. It is difficult for ordinary nobles to check these scammers when they encounter them.
Therefore, when they treat this kind of "nobility", their attitude is to entertain one or two courteously, but they will never really recognize the other party's noble status.
Charles Trap, is one of these two nobles.
He was originally a follower of Count Ferrollan, but Count Ferrollan died on the battlefield of the Eagle Kingdom seven years ago, and he has no heirs who can inherit the title. His lord, the Marquis of Pineapple Green, Wallace, took back the enfeoffment in accordance with the laws of the Grand Duchy.
And refused to recognize the followers of Earl Ferroland, who have the legal right to the territory.
Marquis Wallace believed that it was his followers who failed to protect him, which led to the death of Earl Ferroland, so all the fiefdoms were taken away.
Charles was deprived of his fief, so he felt resentful, thinking that Marquis Wallace was too greedy.
Leaving Deep Throat Island, the fief of Pineapple Green Family, wandering to Coral Island.
Li William Tulip did not believe Charles' words - he was not familiar with Ferroland, let alone how many followers he had.
So Charles was reduced to a marginal man on Coral Island. You can go to the battlefield and be incorporated into the mixed knight order, but even if you fight hard, you still don't get much credit.
The earl didn't care about such an elite land knight at all. His elite knights were all elite land knights. The two viscounts were also reluctant to give credit to a foreign knight, let alone a liar. As a result, Charles wasted seven years and gained nothing.
Start to set your sights on Flower Town.
At first he wrote to Gao Ertai, recounting his old friendship, after all, he was a down-and-out aristocrat.
Now I just came to Huahua Town in person to reveal my thoughts, but Liszt did not meet him, but arranged for Zambrotta to receive him—the lord of Huahua Town is also afraid, in case the other party is really a liar, I will die for the rest of my life. Wouldn't the fame be ruined overnight
Be cautious when dealing with knights of unknown origin.
In his previous life, Liszt had heard of many high-ranking officials at the provincial level who were deceived by liars and thrown to his grandma's house in embarrassment.
At dinner he left Gianluca Gianlutta.
Ask about the reception of Charles: "What do you think of Charles?"
"My lord, from what I know about Charles, he is indeed very strong, but in terms of his identity... many powerful knights like to take shortcuts, and they can pretend to be nobles to gain glory, so why go to the battlefield to fight to the death, you You know, not every elite earth knight can obtain noble status."
"I need some more objective information."
Liszt said.
Gianluca Gianluca is indeed well-informed, and his talk is quite funny, but he has a bad problem, that is, he likes to talk but not to practice.
It belongs to the ability to retreat, but it is not pragmatic.
Coughing and coughing, Zambrotta replied: "I heard that he was very hardworking in the battlefield a few years ago, but in the past two years, his performance has begun to be mediocre. Usually he wants to integrate into the noble circle, but he always uses too much force. The performance is too deliberate. When I received him today, I can also feel that he is too anxious."
"Too anxious?"
"Yes, the lord is always inseparable from the conversation, which makes me feel that his purpose is too strong, and he always wants to cover up." Zambrotta tried his best to speak more truthfully, "We can all see He knows the purpose of his coming to Huahua Town, but he feels that we can't see clearly."
Roughly speaking, it is probably the mentality of "being a bitch and wanting to set up a torii".
Liszt understood this: "Then you continue to receive him, don't promise anything, let him see what he needs to do for a while, and I will see him again."
First remove the opponent's archway.
Only then can we meet each other frankly and talk about the interests involved between following and accepting following.
…
In the next few days, Liszt became very busy, because he went to Heima Island.
The inventor's inspiration sparked, and he ordered others to carry Jomaia Rammed Earth on a stretcher, and personally supervised the construction of the kiln at the Fire Dragon Brick Factory.
"I brought you here. In addition to letting you guide the masons to build brick kilns, I also hope that you can understand the help of rubber water to construction."
He said to Jomaya.
Then walk into a kiln that was simply built, take out the dragon pot containing the magic power of the fire dragon, and release the magic power of the fire dragon.
Through several adjustments back and forth, the range of activities of the magic Charmander was successfully fixed in the calcination space of the kiln. Then guide the masons to glue a stone-wheeled cart with rubber water, and experiment with the push-pull effect. He personally led people to find suitable tan and yellow soil from Heima Island, and mixed them into clay raw materials.
The wooden brick mold is filled with mixed clay and pressed with a wooden board to form a rectangular brick.
Hundreds of serfs may be a little stupid, but they absolutely obey the instructions, and they don't need to ask why, just do what they are asked to do.
So fast. A cart of adobes has been stacked.
"one two three!"
Shouting slogans, the serfs worked hard together to push the stone-wheeled cart into the kiln, and the calcination began.
This will take some time.
Liszt walked to the other side, and Jomaia was watching the serfs use rubber water to stir the sand and gravel by the sea, and then piled up a new brick factory kiln.
"See what?"
"My lord, the rubber water is incredible. It is faster than the glutinous rice juice. The glutinous rice juice needs at least a day to solidify, and it takes a week to completely firm. You asked me to build the lighthouse. I originally expected it to take a month to complete. Now it seems , maybe it will only take a few days!"
Jomaya exclaimed.
Lighthouses are not easy to build.
Because first of all, the location is relatively steep and high, usually on some cliffs and reefs. Not only does it need to move materials, but it is also very dangerous. When the stones are piled up, they still solidify for a long time, and it is even more difficult to build a large lighthouse.
But with the quick-setting effect of rubber water, the construction time will be greatly shortened, and it will not be difficult to build a lighthouse in a short period of time by frantically accumulating manpower and material resources.
Liszt also did not plan to build a large lighthouse, he only planned to build a small lighthouse ten meters high on the rocky beach near Heima Port.
After installing the crystal lamps, it is enough to have a range of two or three kilometers.
And the lighthouse will only be lit when the Flower is sailing at night—although the Heima Island is not on the waterway, it was only discovered by the mice, but if one or two sea ships pass by and the lighthouse is lit all night, the coordinates of the Heima Island will undoubtedly be exposed.
Now is not the time to expose Heima Island.
But even if it was exposed, Liszt didn’t care much—the earl was on the rise, and even if the Grand Duke knew about it, he wouldn’t randomly divide up the Black Horse Island and disgust his “groom”; Liszt himself was also on the rise. Secretly, the Earl would not disgust his son.
between talking.
The first furnace of bricks has been fired.
