The Defeated Dragon

In the afternoon, Count Shark came to the Fort of Yams to ask about the crusade against pirates and ghost ships. The Lester brothers and sisters need to provide him with some clues to confirm the ghost ship.

“I don't like Shark. ”

“In fact, I don't like either of the Counts on Red Crab Island, especially Shark," said Meoper, who came to call Lester in a low voice. ”

Lester just woke up, curious, "Why? ”

“They lack awe of the potato fort. ”

Liszt nodded.

He understood that, to be honest, Uncle Messiro was not strong enough to build enough prestige, and as the next Marquis of Red Crab Island, he lacked the temperament to convince his followers.

Meoppo continued: "This year my grandfather is ill, Red Crab Island has not responded to Grand Duke's pioneering orders, there are some murmurs below, and I know that Shark is the source of the murmurs. ”

A moment later.

Lester met Count Shark, whose full name was Shark Broccoli and whose last name originated from the Broccoli Elf he owned.

tall and mighty body and a very loud voice.

Following a prompt from Meoper, Lister followed Count Shark's attitude during the questioning and found him still in awe of the Marquis Merlin. But for Messiro and Meoppo, it's a little slow, not to say slow, and it's supposed to be a flat spot.

There was no disrespect in his conversation with Messiro, but it was also felt that Messiro would be his future lord.

Place the two people on the same line.

And then to Meoppo, that's purely elderly. No wonder Meoppo was upset with him, no one liked his followers, and put a shelf on himself, even though Meoppo was not the Marquis of Red Crab Island, but a successor to him.

But in the Knight system, Meoppo is the Lord, Shark is the Subordinate, and the Lord is the Subordinate.

“No wonder when I first came to Red Crab Island, Meoppo came to pull me together. The pattern of Red Crab Island is obviously the Lord's weak servant... once Grandpa Merlyn dies, Uncle Messiro will not be able to control the whole of Red Crab Island. ”

Being a lord, you cannot control your followers.

Then the end will be embarrassing, and the followers will leave the lord as a corollary. The Lord, whose followers will be separated, is absolutely the greatest laugh among the nobles.

Lister suddenly understood her cousin, why she knew Grand Duke's little daughter had a bad reputation and was still chasing hard.

Not trying to take advantage of the princess to suppress these followers of Red Crab Island.

Ding Ding is thin, which is not a good thing for the aristocratic family.

“So shall I come to Red Crab Island to develop? In my current development, a Viscount cannot escape. In the future, I will show strength, and I'm afraid my uncle and cousin will rely more on me to make it easier for me to mix with the count.” Lester's thoughts are swinging and he really wants to take a short cut.

Instead of trading your life for a title on the battlefield, it's not easy to learn to drill.

Nonetheless, he could abandon his operations on Black Horse Island and invest in Red Crab Island, which he could not do for the time being. And the added effect is far less than sending charcoal in the snow.

He suddenly thought of a picture.

If you have become a Sky Knight and earned the title of Viscount, but your father is still the Count. So how does he get past his father and become an Earl?

It will either become the Grand Duke's Immediate Sealed Count or follow a Marquis who can bestow the title of Count. At that time, I suppose my uncle and his family, who supported Red Krabs Island, would pray hard for themselves to come to Red Krabs Island - the treatment of the counts at that time was definitely many times better than going to Red Krabs Island now.

I'm sorry to think so.

But affection between nobles always leaves the way open for profit. Lester also understands that the Yam family would never do anything for him if he didn't show value.

“Of course, I think a little too much now. This trip, the Yam family hasn't started pulling me together yet...”

Between thoughts.

Count Shark has made clear the causes and consequences of the ghost ship, and immediately saluted the Marquis Merlin: "Rest assured, I will lead the fleet and the Knights immediately after the New Year's Eve to flatten the waters around Red Crab Island and keep their mouths shut for all those who have gossip about Red Crab Island! ”

“Good, I look forward to your performance. ”

Shark gave another gift, nodded again to Messiro and Meoppo and stepped away.

……

The festival is the first day of the year, January 1.

All of us in all countries will choose to celebrate the new year by letting go of our work on this day.

Morning habitual days awaken at dawn.

Lie in bed, Lester calls out a long-running smoke mission: "Task: Tired of a year, even lords need to relax, enjoy the upcoming festival, reflect on the way forward next year, broaden relationships, or do nothing, waiting for the festival to end. Reward: Unknown reward. ”

The reward is unknown, the task is still unfinished and probably needs to be completed by today.

About 10: 30 in the morning.

Lester was teasing the spit-loving Pokémon, Anna, the maid who once helped him wipe his face, to give him a constant secret delivery of Autumn Wave.

At this time, the servant of Fort Long Yam came to inform him that a new guest had arrived.

The New Year's Day is a family festival, and today we are visiting the Fort of Yams. You don't have to ask, but it is Lister's aunt's family who arrived.

Indeed, at the entrance to the castle, Lister met with her mother's sister, Melinda Yam, the second daughter of the Marquis. And her husband, Viscount Roland Pineau of the Great Tail Wall, and her two sons, Russell Pineau and Rory Pineau.

And Russell's wife, soon after she turned old, wrapped up in a cotton ball.

Russell and Rowley are cousins of Liszt.

The order of ages among cousins is about 25 years old Meoppo Long Potato, 24 years old Livius Tulips, 22 years old Russell Pineau, 20 years old Rivera Tulips, 19 years old Rory Pineau, and 17 years old Lester Tulips - each growing a year old.

Russell's daughter, the only junior in Liszt.

“Aunt, uncle, Lister says hello. Happy New Year.” Lister came forward to greet the relatives and the memories of their predecessors were not deep.

Since Melissa's death, Li William and Red Crab Island have been socializing less and less, so the three brothers and sisters visit the Marquis of Mellin at best and rarely visit their aunts.

“Happy New Year, Lester. You've grown so big and tall.” Melinda is a slightly fat lady, unfortunately not inherited to the appearance of the Yam family.

And it seemed unlucky that, like Melissa, all their sisters were married to the Viscount.

But William Lee was promoted to Earl early, and Roland Pine is still the Viscount. Even in the impression of my predecessor, my aunt's two sons were more wasted than “myself”.

Smart Magic Eye.

Lester observed that, indeed, the total amount of fighting between the two cousins was similar to that of Levera, not to the level of the elite Earth Knight.
