The Defeated Dragon

It's late at night, and after the BBQ party, the knights head to town to rest.

Livius and Rivera also went into the room, and old butler Carter, instead of grabbing any more wine, took an apple juice and walked into the study.

“Master, you look sober now and not drunk. ”

“Thank you.” He took the apple juice, took a sip, and the fruit flavor was fresh. The alcohol content of the beer can only hold up against the stomach and is very intoxicating.

Carter's face was very unnatural under candlelight.

Lester found this during the day: "Mr. Carter, are you sick? ”

“I'm fine, sir. ”

“Be sure to say something, don't force yourself, the castle can't stay at the helm of the butler, but your health is more important and take care of yourself. ”

“Thank you." Old Carter's tears are pouring out.

“Tomorrow, when the elf bugs are assimilated, I'll follow the convoy to Coral City. Probably leave Coral Island for a few days, and things in the castle are arranged for you. ”

“Don't worry, sir. ”

“Actually, there's nothing to be worried about, except for a few Pokémon bugs, Shaking Mori and Dragon need to take care of. Black tulips are also to be seen once a day for me, as well as horse farm construction outside the castle don't stop. I hope to be able to settle the alfalfa when I get back. ”

Tasks always come first.

We talked briefly, went back to bed, and the night went by like this.

The next morning, eight Tulip Pokémon completed the assimilation of the black tulip and the convoy departed immediately. Lister rode on the Dragon Horse, accompanied by Marcus and Thomas. The castle was entrusted to Carter, the town to Gorte, and his own four cavaliers.

“Teacher Gaultai, when I return, I need to see the patrol patrol from Thorn Ridge to the east coast. ”

“I will train them as you wish.” Gaultai said easily.

“So I'm going, um, on my way back, with a few bottles of gin. ”

“Wow, this is awesome! ”

On the back of the Dragon Horse, Lester turned around, at the entrance to the castle, the Carter Butler with a kind of servant, gave it away quietly. He stopped hesitating, kicked his belly lightly, and the Dragon Horse jumped out immediately to catch up with the convoy.

Feeling a little excited.

His predecessor was familiar with Coral Island, but he, strictly speaking, was the first time out of Flower Town to see the outside world.

A magically wrapped medieval terroir, a knightly aristocratic system.

After walking out of Thorn Ridge, most of the land on which he set foot was the direct counts, only part of the small town, the baron territory divided by the counts, and a smaller group of villages, tunnels, the enclosure of the knights of lords. Across Coral Island, there is only one Viscount, a follower of the Earl's family, Jonas Crushed Stone.

Beyond Coral Island, however, there is a small island, one of the Count's other Viscount followers, Trick Tsubasa.

On Coral Island, there are five small and six large pools - Coral City at the foot of Tulip Castle, the largest; North Valley City, Birch City, Elm Forest City, Snake Spear City, all owned by the Count; and Crushed Stone Castle and its annexed Crushed Stone City, owned by Viscount Jonas.

From Flower Town to Coral City, you will need to pass through North Valley City and Birch City.

However, the convoy did not stop in two small towns, but only in the castle courtyard of North Valley City, where it ate a short meal and headed straight for Coral City. Coral City had arrived at 3 p.m. when horseshoes stepped into a sea of flowers.

Flowers are a variety of tulips.

Much of it is magic, and a small part of it is ornamental flowers - the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, famous for its tulip aromas grown by the Tulip family.

The sea of flowers fluctuates with the hillsides.

To the left, the road is a coral city with towering walls, with its coastal waters and busy piers. Lister looks out over the dock and sees a “state-of-the-art” mast.

The world has slowly transitioned from the age of paddles to the age of sails.

It was with the wind sailboat, the original conqueror of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, who came from the mainland to the archipelago, that the archipelago was established.

Shuttle the ocean, only the sailboat.

“Unfortunately, the wind sail is probably the end of the ship, but not so much steel, giving birth to the age of the Ironclad, and even the age of the steamboat. ”

Lister sighed softly, retreating her gaze and turning to the right of the road.

On the right is the mountains, which lie on one side of the ocean, on the other side are steep cliffs, and on the other side are slow slopes. Built on a cliff, Tulip Castle is a wide, stone-paved road that runs from the castle's doorstep to the coral city at the foot of the mountain. A tall castle, like a flag, stands at the top of Coral Island.

The pointy tower pierces the blue sky.

Heavy rocks, connected to mountain ranges, surrounded by flowers, solemnly mourn, showing a strong fortress. Ten years ago, Lester remembered the family coming to Coral Island and building such a tall, sturdy tulip champagne in just a decade. Hundreds of serfs were even exhausted during this period.

To this day, the castle continues to expand sporadically.

Noble glory has always been built on blood - this is just the Castle of the Count, said to be the Castle of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, built for a hundred years before and after, the remains of the serfs beneath the cliffs of the castle, piled up tens of meters deep.

“It looks pale gray, it's actually blood red, instead of living here, I still like the little castle of Flower Town, at least live in peace. ”

Lister is in a heavy mood.

Follow your brother and sister to this familiar and strange castle.

Halfway through the castle, we met a line of knights who came out of the castle, and the chief knight saluted Livius: “Master Livius, have a good trip. ”

“Good trip, Captain Mickey.” Reeves owes a debt of courtesy.

Captain Mickey saluted Livella again: "Miss Livella, good trip. ”

“Good trip, Captain Mickey. ”

At this point, Captain Mickey looked at Lester, and he was also impeccably polite: "Welcome home, Master Lester. ”

“Long time no see, Captain Mickey.” Lester owes his life to the knight in front of him, the resident knight captain of Tulip Chateau, who is responsible for the security of Tulip Chateau. The Mibastian is a baron, under the seal of his family, who holds a position in Tulip Chamberlain.

Led by the Knights, a moment later, he arrived at the entrance to the castle.

Louis, the housekeeper, stood at the gate and greeted the three brothers and sisters, his old face filled with a passionate smile: "Oh, happiness is always seeing the Son of the Lord, returning to the castle like a tired bird to its nest. ”

“Grandpa Lewis, long time no see, your body is still so stiff.” Lester sends his regards to Lewis by passing the reins of the Fire Dragon Horse to a servant beside him.

Lewis was at least sixty years old this year and was the first to follow Lester's grandfather as a close servant.

Being the housekeeper of Tulip Chamberlain today, even the Count, will have more respect for him - the honor and place he deserves as a man who has devoted his life to the Tulip family.
