The Defeated Dragon

“Grandma, you have a pair of eyes that can see through everything. ”

Liszt smiled.

There is no particular hiding between him and Reeves, and it is not difficult for those who want to know. At least the Count is sure to know about their slave schemes, and what happens on Coral Island is as long as the Count wants to know, he's ready to know.

Livella looked at the growing crowd of Lester, very dissatisfied: "Lester, the florists' seafood business has done my Falcon Town! ”

“Congratulations, Falcon residents can eat delicious seafood. ”

“I will organize the people to salvage the seafood themselves, and while you and Reeves have monopolized the seafood market, other lords will organize the people to salvage the seafood themselves. Your business won't last long! ”

Lister sat on the chair and did not mind the provocation of Second Lieutenant Levera: “A small town by the sea, of course, can salvage seafood on its own, and they have the right to do so. But coral islands are not so big, not every town is right next to the sea, not every beach has plenty of seafood. ”

In fact, today's floral merchants are no longer struggling to fish for seafood.

Work directly with the owners of the coastal towns to allow them to fish for seafood, which is then bought by the florists and sold to the cities. Seafood specialities vary from town to town, and the florists have the most varied seafood, which can be purchased at low prices and sold at high prices.

When the nobility and the people of Coral Island get used to the seafood on the table.

Revenue has risen from three gold coins per day originally projected to four gold coins per day.

Grab expenses to pay Reeves' dividends, and the consumption of the merchants, and earn three gold coins a day more. With the seafood market, Lester is one of the richest people on Coral Island.

It's an eye-catching windfall.

Livella's eyes are warm, but she also understands that Lester has gas —— he's fed Livius. On Coral Island, two people talk the most, Count and Livius. The Earl was Levi's father, obviously not robbing his son's estate, and Levi got his shares and issued a seafood license.

Nobody can take Lister's profit now.

She had to change the subject: “What brings you here so early? ”

“I came to send my grandmother flowers.” Lister smiled slightly at his personal servant Thomas Taw, "and went to fetch the potted plants in the carriage. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

Not long later, a pot of dragonfly was brought in by Thomas.

“Turns out it's a dragonfly.” Mrs. Penelope suddenly, "this is the basin of dragonfly I gave you. Did you take care of it? No, it's not the same basin that I gave you... Is that basin of dragonfly dead, pathetic, or has it not escaped withering? ”

“Grandma, don't be sad, that basin of anemones is still alive and well and is much healthier than regular anemones. ”

“What do you mean?” Mrs. Penelope instructed her servant to put the dragonfly on the balcony, "if you have anything to say, Lester, don't talk to me like that, it reminds me of Melissa. I've convinced myself that you have your father's shadow, despite Melissa's face. ”

Mrs. Penelope, the resentment against Melissa remains profound.

Lester has no memory of her mother, and doesn't know what tone she spoke in her lifetime, but she can guess what she said, some "hence the mystery”, and perhaps a sense of alienation that wasn't close enough. It's also impossible. After all, he's not the original Lester, he can't put in too much love.

So keep smiling: “The basin of anemones you gave me, it's not that I'm sick, it's just that I'm breeding Pokémon, and now the anemones are born. ”

As soon as the Pokémon came out, Mrs. Penelope and Levera were surprised.

Mrs. Penelope was heartily pleased and had forgotten to complain about Lester's blunt tone and praised her grandson severely: "Knight's glory, Lester, you are the luckiest member of the tulip family. Take good care of the Dragonfly Pokémon and treat it as a gift for you. ”

“I am very sorry for your grandmother's gift and I will prepare a thoughtful gift for you on your birthday this year.” Lister said.

Speak when you see Levera.

Lester, who is not interested in the second girl, has risen: “Grandmother, I have an appointment with Mr. Frank, I will not stay here any longer, I hope to have lunch in the castle at noon. ”

“Go, lucky boy, I'll let the kitchen make you your favorite raw omelette. ”

……

“Mr. Frank. ”

“Baron Lester, you look more mature, but as handsome as ever.” The hairline is almost at the top of my head, Frank, with an ugly red nose, "my Sherry came back from Horn College, and as soon as she came back she said she wanted to meet Brother Lister. ”

“Is little Shelly back?” Lester thought about it for a while, and little Shelly was Frank's little daughter.

In my childhood memories, little Shelly was his little sidekick because she was only one year younger and could play together. But then Lester went to Knights College, and little Sherry was sent to Horn College by Frank, and he never saw her again.

As for Horn College, it is located on Iron Hoof Island.

Ironhoof Island is the seal of the Bull Marquis. He is a sapphire vein. Ancestry is the favorite youngest son of the Grand Duke of Sapphire. Upon maturity, he was sealed as Count of the Bull. After the founding of the State, Ironhoof Island was sealed as a land and promoted to the Marquis.

The Bull Marquis family, the Bull Horn College, was built to train maids for the court.

Gradually, large and small aristocrats send their daughters to Horn College to study - aristocratic ladies with Horn College degrees are very popular in aristocratic unions. Because these celebrities study etiquette in college, female red, housework, music, reading and writing, etc., they are considered to have a cultivation.

Of course, not all noble ladies have gone to Horn College, and Levera has not.

Don't know if it's an illusion.

Lester always felt Frank's three sentences were not separated from Little Shelly, as if he was being marketed.

“Probably, I am now a hot young unmarried aristocrat on the island.” He thought to himself, but he had no idea about little Sherry, the little Sherry he remembered, who was fat.

Frank sells for a while and sees Lester not responding enthusiastically and gradually returning to the point.

“Your officials and servants are counting. ”

Five hundred serfs, in an open space just outside the harbour, gathered in threes and threes. Looking at them, most of them were sick, not knowing if they were sick or seasick.

Gaultai et al. carried paperwork, counted the number of serfs and calculated the ratio of men to women, as well as the number of craftsmen. Just a rough reckoning, and I'll be right back with Lester.

“My lord, a total of 476 serfs...”

Frank stood aside, casually explaining: "Slaves were transported from far away, and people inevitably got sick or disobeyed, and the fleet initially bought five hundred and 110 serfs, with a total loss of 34. ”

said with a faint sigh.

Lister nodded and agreed - he knew very well that the slave trade would inevitably be accompanied by death.

“Teacher Gaultai, ask the florists to cooperate and transfer the serfs to Flower Town for resettlement as soon as possible. ”
