The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 2 Serpentine Composition of Smoke
Grilled goat meat, boiled seven eels, a small slice of apple mud and sydney chips, a beer with beer blossoms, and white bread made from fine wheat flour.
This is Lister's dinner.
Western-style dishes don't really suit his taste, but he can't cook at all and cook the home-cooked dishes he likes. And the world's atmosphere, nobility is strictly forbidden to enter the kitchen, the warehouse, where servants should go, it is against nobility etiquette, can be laughed at.
Except, of course, for the court.
The chef and servant of the court are all served by the nobility of the little lords. Lester's father, the Earl of Coral Island, served as a muff for the new generation of the Grand Duke of Sapphire. Responsible for feeding Sapphire Grand Duke's beloved mount, a BMW mixed with dragon blood.
Until now, the Earl of Coral Island will enter the palace from time to time to act as a marv.
He was so relieved that he feared that other nobles would take his place in the post of Marv that he hindered his intimate relationship with the Grand Duke.
Likewise, the Grand Duke of Sapphire served and drank Lassard as a personal servant for his monarchy, the Iron Ridge Kingdom and His Majesty the King.
Basically, civilians are servants of nobility, while small nobles are servants of great nobility.
Only to be king of a country is to be considered master.
“Fortunately, here in Flower Town, I am the sole owner without having to serve anyone.” Livius had an unpleasant dinner and thought comfortably of it.
The Earl is his father, he doesn't like himself, and he basically doesn't bother himself.
After dinner, an old butler, Carter, directs the maid to pack the dishes, while a personal butler washes the water and waits for Lester to rinse her mouth.
At the end of the process, Carter leaves with the servants: "I'm right outside the door, sir, and the two gentlemen, if you need anything. ”
“Please, Mr. Carter.” Lester revealed a gentlemanly smile, influenced by his predecessors in aristocratic etiquette, which did not require active learning and naturally revealed itself.
Be polite and respectful, even to humble servants - it doesn't matter whether you kill them privately or how perverted they are, you have to be noble on the face of it.
“It is an honor to serve you.” Carter shut the door.
“Lester.” Gaultai drank a cup of honeyed tea, "Pokémon worm should use it as soon as possible, but the town's finances are really bad, the last government official was a fool, nothing but oppressed the serfs, he left us a mess! ”
“I know, the teacher will investigate as soon as possible to see where the elf worm fits. ”
“Of course, it is my duty. ”
Lester turned to Marcus: "Will it be difficult to examine the beasts of Thorn Hill near the area of Flower Town? As a lord, I must pay attention to what warcraft often harasses farmers. ”
Marcus replied: "The thorn ridge is huge, the activity of the Warcraft is not fixed, you have only four knights, even if I touch all the Warcraft clearly, there is no way to defend it. Patrols are simply unusable. They are a bunch of rogues and can only pee their pants when faced with warcraft. ”
Located in the northeastern tip of Coral Island, Flower Town is surrounded by Thorn Ridge and has many warcraft, so few merchants are willing to trade here.
We can only produce our own products without the help of elves, farmers have problems feeding themselves, and pay taxes to the Tulip family, the ruler of Coral Island.
Nobles, however, only care about how much taxes they can collect, and they don't care about the farmers' lives.
The Tulip family is no exception.
Now Lester cannot remain indifferent. He has always been a new young man bathed under the banner of communist glory. Since he has become a lord of the land, saving the people in the heat of the water becomes what he must do - only when the town of flowers is rich can he enjoy better as a lord.
In public and in private, he had to develop the town of flowers.
“There's always a way to deal with it, Mr. Marcus, after the Knights class tomorrow, you walk me through the thorny ridge, and as lord, I haven't really seen what Flower Town looks like. ”
“Lester, this is not a good idea, just turn around in the town, Thorn Hill shouldn't go. Don't forget, you almost died in Thornhill.” Gaultai immediately stopped.
Lister shook his head: "The last time I accidentally ate poisonous fruit, I'll pay attention this time. ”
Marcus simply said, "I will notify your four rangers at night to arrange a tour of Thorn Ridge to keep you safe. ”
“Trouble. ”
“You should be careful.” Gaultai is helpless.
Lester did not say much more that the two teachers did not know his true intentions, that his body had not fully recovered, and that according to his character, he was definitely willing to leave the house only after he had been thoroughly reared - but the nobleman went out, either in a carriage or on horseback, and unfortunately he did not have a carriage.
Riding horses, remembering, is not an easy thing, because there are no saddles and stirrups here - knights with the temper to ride horses without having to use auxiliary equipment, and any kind of riding.
“Conversely, saddles also restrict the knight's fighting temper from combining with horses… but without saddles, there are always some bums that are not…”
Send the teachers away, Lester thought.
“When are you going to go to bed, sir?” Close servant came in to ask.
“After ten o'clock, Thomas, now add another candle to my study. I want to read.” Lester will walk with the servant.
Thomas' face revealed a disappointment that he had not been given the opportunity to present himself for several days. Lester will always instruct him to drive away, not require him to accompany him.
As an intimate servant, he felt he had not been liked by the Baron and worried about his work.
It is true that Lester doesn't like a personal butler, and every time Thomas serves him in his clothes, he makes Lester feel goosebumps - a wicked aristocratic system!
Why can't male aristocrats have intimate maids!
The study became bright as Thomas brought a candle and left. Lester stood up and pulled open the curtains to see a few lights in the town not far from the castle's window.
It's bleak.
There is no such thing as nightlife, only endless silence in a small town where you can't eat enough food.
“Is this my territory? Poverty, backwardness, but it belongs entirely to me. The size of a town belongs to my independent kingdom… I will make it a world of peaches! ”
Trance.
In front of Lister, there was a faint smoke, which distorted and formed an abstract text that was wrapped around countless little snakes, a common text of the Iron Ridge kingdom, the serpent, whose origins were no longer testable, and there was no historical habit here.
As a soul wearer, he inherited all the memories of his predecessor, and Lester could read this serpent.
A piece that confused him for a week.
“Mission: As a lord, you need to know everything about the territory. Please visit a circle of flower towns to understand the crisis in the territory and prepare for future development. Reward: The upliftment of the fighting temper. ”
The content is short and not complicated.
What Lester doesn't understand is why he can see the smoky snake language, search the memories of his predecessors, and the smoky snake language has appeared since he was little. But at that time, the smoke was so faint and so vague that he couldn't even see what Snake was saying that he thought he was hallucinating.
It wasn't until after the soul wore through that that Lester saw the text clearly.
For a moment, he reached out and tried to touch the smoke, but it immediately disappeared, which corroborated the idea of hallucination.
But now Lester, don't you think it's a hallucination, maybe it's the welfare of the passers-by, the embodiment of a system? I don't know, he decided to go verify it.
If you visit the territory, you will be able to accomplish your task, and whether or not you will be rewarded at that time is proof.
No, it's just a hallucination.
Got it, that means it's welfare.
Is the crosser's golden finger - the crosser stays still, the golden finger goes first?
