The swaying carriage made Liszt drowsy.
All the way from Sea Crab City, bumps to Hongshi City, stayed in Hongshi City for another night, waited until dawn, and after another two hours' drive, I finally saw the Fort of Changyu standing on the mountainside.
The Taro Castle is almost four times the size of the Tulip Castle. It has an arrow tower as high as one or two hundred meters. Because it is located on the mountainside, the castle is almost integrated with the mountains.
Liszt once visited Neuschwanstein Castle in Europe in his hometown of Earth.
The majesty of Neuschwanstein Castle is similar to that of Tulip Castle, but it does not have the steep terrain of Tulip Castle backed by the cliff. But compared to the Long Taro Castle in front of him, Neuschwanstein Castle looks so small. It's just a castle of long taro, and it has the momentum comparable to the White City in "The Lord of the Rings".
Below the castle is a city.
The carriage didn't need to go through the city, and went directly to the castle along a slightly steep mountain road. Halfway through the journey, they were spotted and greeted by the Cavaliers of Changyu Castle. Knowing that they were relatives of the Tulip family, the Cavaliers immediately escorted the carriage and drove to the castle.
And some knights galloped up the mountain to notify in advance.
So when the carriage arrived at the gate of the castle, the heir of Changyu Castle, the cousin of the three siblings, Mayopal Changyu, had already brought his servants and was waiting here.
"Levi's, Rivera, Liszt." Mayopal was a man of talent, personable, with sapphire-like eyes, very beautiful, "I knew you were coming when I received the letter. I have been waiting for a long time. Is everything going well on the way?"
Lister had to admit.
This cousin is outstanding both in appearance and temperament, and he is on par with him. Standing together is more like a pair of brothers than Levi's.
"Cousin Mayopal, everything is going well."
"Cousin, you are more beautiful than last year."
"Thank you cousin for your compliment, but compared to your pretty face, I always feel that this is laughing at me." Li Weila looked at May Opal, half joking and half serious.
Mayopal laughed and said: "It's not something I can refuse, you say yes, Liszt." The second half of the sentence was directed at Liszt.
Liszt smiled slightly.
It was finally determined that Li Weila had been bullying him for so many years because she was jealous of her appearance: "My cousin is right."
"Haha, sure enough, the heroes have the same opinion. Let's go, go into the castle. Father is in charge of this quarter's taxation in other places, and he hasn't come back yet. Grandpa is recuperating. He is very happy to hear that you are here."
"How is grandpa's health?"
Mayopal sighed: "Grandpa's illness is a complication caused by the recurrence of an old injury. It has good times and bad times. The Grand Duke has sent the imperial doctor to treat grandpa. I believe it will get better."
…
In the gorgeous bedroom, sitting on the bed is the owner of Red Crab Island, one of the seven Marquises of the Grand Duchy, the former captain of the palace fleet, and the most honorable person in the Castle of Long Taro.
Merlin Changyu.
This is an old man in his seventies, with a pale, wrinkled face. Although he still has the majesty of long-term pampering, he can no longer hide the weakness given to him by aging and illness.
Even the sky knight who was able to leap into the sky in the past, can't stand the carving of the knife of years.
The sapphire blue pupils have turned white, not to mention the white hair.
He was quietly leaning against the head of the bed, a low coffee table was placed on the quilt, and he was struggling to write words on thick leather paper with a quill pen dipped in ink.
The age spots on the face are particularly conspicuous.
"Master, Young Master Sun has already brought the three young masters and misses of the Tulip family into the castle." The housekeeper, who was almost as old as the Marquis of Merlin, couldn't bear to disturb him, and put his tone in a very light tone.
Marquis Merlin's pen paused slightly, and then continued to write without raising his head: "Melissa's children, then let them come and visit me, an old man whose body is half buried in the ground."
"Master, you are only temporarily ill and will recover soon, but you said that you want to live to be a hundred years old and kill the Marquis Wallace next door."
"Haha, I also threatened the Grand Duke's sapphire dragon to prevent me from becoming the lord of the dragon domain, so I killed it. However, it was useless. This time, I must have lost to that old bastard." Marquis Merlin With a hearty smile, he quickly finished the last few words and put down the pen.
The servant who was waiting on the side immediately took the coffee table away.
The old butler supported the Marquis, leaned against the head of the bed, and sat firmly. Then he leaned over again and straightened the red bow tie on his chest for the Marquis.
A servant brought a bronze mirror.
Some other servants brought water, some towels, and some hairpins, serving the Marquis in turn.
The Marquis cleaned up his image carefully, quickly returning to a majestic appearance from an old man in his dying years, and then he just waited.
Hearing the familiar footsteps outside the door, the cloudy eyes could not help but reveal a gleam of brilliance.
Quickly hides again.
Mayopal had already entered the bedroom with the three siblings.
Levi took the lead, took Rivera and Liszt, walked quickly to the bed, and showed the etiquette of juniors to Marquis Merlin: "Grandpa, Li Weila, Liszt and I came to visit you, and my father also asked me to bring you a sincere letter." Greetings, I hope you will recover immediately and restore the demeanor of the owner of Changtao Castle."
"Your father has a heart." The Marquis nodded lightly, "Did the journey go well?"
"Bon Voyage."
"That's good. Since I'm here to visit grandpa, I'll stay in Changtao Castle for a few more days."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The Marquis looked past Levi's and Rivera, and placed on Liszt, with a nostalgic look in his eyes: "Liszt, you are an adult."
"Yes, March 9 this year is my coming-of-age ceremony."
"I heard that your father entrusted you with the title of Baron. What town is it in?"
"Flower Town."
"Well, I can't tell the difference between a viscount. It seems that Li William has failed as an earl." Marquis Merlin commented very bluntly, and his tone turned into emotion again, "I didn't witness your coming-of-age ceremony, Melissa must would blame me, seeing you, as if Melissa was standing in front of me."
May Opal echoed: "Grandpa, Cousin Liszt is indeed very similar to Aunt Melissa. When I saw Aunt Melissa when I was young, I thought that the long taro flower is really the most dazzling flower in the Grand Duchy."
"I can't remember the appearance of my mother. I can only admire it from the portrait of Tulip Castle." Liszt said that there was indeed no memory of his mother in his predecessor.
When Liszt was two years old, Melissa had passed away. What memories can a two-year-old have.
There is a portrait of Melissa in the castle, but I don't see it often, and even if it is a portrait, it is a portrait with a high degree of distortion, and it is difficult to show the real person's demeanor.
Take it as a pity.
The Marquis's emotions quickly subsided: "Ten years, sometimes it seems like it happened yesterday... You should be tired all the way, Mayopal, take your cousins to rest, I hope that the young man and the young lady will have a rest during the luncheon." We are all in high spirits. Besides, if time permits, you young people should hold a dance party tomorrow night, which will be very lively."
