The Defeated Dragon

Livis' birthday was spent aboard the boat, and although there was no lively banquet, the family gathered together, with the exception of Mrs. Penelope, who had never sailed.

The following afternoon, he returned to Tulip Castle or hosted an extra banquet, and Lester rested overnight at Tulip Castle before returning to Flower Town.

But he can't afford to go back to Flower Town this time.

Levi's wedding is about to take place - at Fort Yam, Lee William has spoken with Roger Golden Wheat, the only son of the Marquis of Roderick, and the wedding date has been set for September 12.

A pioneering order is almost upon us - the Iron Ridge Kingdom is sure to send a mission to Blue Dragon Island to set a date for this year's war with the Eagle Kingdom - and it is strange that, almost every fall, a large-scale conflict will erupt between the two kingdoms, lasting hundreds of years.

Apart from the cause of revenge, another reason is probably the push of the knighthood system - how to make a fortune without war, how to ease the contradictions between old and new nobles, how to redistribute wealth without war and how to exasperate energy without war.

painstakingly cultivate to become Earth Knight and even Sky Knight in order to build a successful career on the battlefield.

Lister was a little upset on the way back: “Levi's birthday gift is good to send, but his wedding gift certainly can't be worse than the gift to Meopol... Although the Knight Squad supplemented the two Land Knights, today's territorial construction is in flames, so it is not appropriate to draw knights into battle. ”

Knights are the cornerstones of the knighthood system - only knights can enjoy complete knowledge, especially knights of aristocratic origin.

Without knowledge to expand thinking, it is difficult to compete in management roles.

There is now a shortage of officials in both port and flower towns, especially those who can preside over "congressional warfare”, and Earth Knights are reluctant to maintain territorial administration.

Pull it all out, it will seriously affect the construction.

“However, if I plan to join the war, it is not possible not to bring the Knights without them… to prepare for the serfdom, but to plunder the resources, my tremors and eight small ones can take to the battlefield, tear down a few castles, and I will probably be able to buy the serfdom money. ”

The Grand Duke forbids the plundering of resources in the Battle of Iron Shoe Island.

Pioneering orders are predominantly predominantly resource pillaging, only to pay a large bus tax, surely pioneering orders are more cost-effective.

On the way.

He called out the smoke mission again.

“Task: Resurrected Fire Dragon Bones Have you forgotten that dry dragon bones require magical moisture to produce a moving result, please organize serfs to mine 10 tons of volcanic glass. Reward: Rubber bug agitation. ”

No change.

Ten tons of volcanic glass have not been mined enough.

When he returned to Flower Town, Gaultai was waiting for him in Flower Town.

“My lord, there is a neglected issue in the development of the island of Hema that needs to be urgently addressed.“ We only have two sailboats, the Flowers and the Thorn, "he said," but Black Horse is unable to produce food today, and trafficking in food alone accounts for most of the transport capacity of the two vessels. ”

“That's a problem. Has the Flower Town Administration recently seen any financial growth?” Lester turned to Isaiah.

“As the flowers are finished on Red Crab Island, the returns increase dramatically, but they need to be paid to Tulip Chamberlain to pay off their arrears. The scale of flower soap could not continue to expand and raw materials were not sufficiently supplied, so the current revenues of the Executive Directorate have not increased significantly. ”

“I get it...”

“My lord, with the increase in revenues from flower brewing, do you think it's possible to partially reimburse them first and to withhold a portion of the supply territory expenses?” Gorte suggested.

Lister rubbed his forehead: “I'd like to do the same, but Tulip Chamberlain is now facing a gold coin dilemma. My brother is about to get married and needs a lot of gold coins for the wedding, and my father has decided to raise a tax to get through this difficult time. ”

Tulip Chateau is his backing.

But Tulip Chamberlain was also not available to him endlessly, especially in the face of the Levi's wedding, a noble wedding that was absolutely a luxury and costly gold coin, so that countries had a special levy of "marriage taxes”.

The daughters and sons of lords or lords are getting married.

But what if I don't have the money?

Taxes were collected, of course, and the pressure to marry a lord passed on to the Territory's inhabitants, who complained or rejoiced, did not matter.

Now that Tulip Chambers is already relying on marriage taxes to raise money, Lester is really embarrassed to borrow money from Tulip Chambers.

You have to figure it out for yourself.

“Rapid rebirth of thorny iron trees cannot keep pace with cutting; rubber worms can repair rubber trees and rubber cannot be cut in large quantities; flower soap is popular again, animal pancreas and other ingredients are still in short supply and demand; flower brewing can take over the market and still take time to distribute. ”

Essentially, the Territory's products are rapidly cashable and still fail to fill the gap in the development of Black Horse Island.

So after the troubles, Lester still had to sell the property, and he sent Golthea, Isaiah, into the study and counted the property he could sell.

Secret silver, jade stone, crystal, not much left.

I can't sell it.

Eyes were eventually set on three gems, one a ruby-embellished red sword, one a sapphire magic ring and one a pink gem captured in the Battle of Iron Shoe Island.

“I don't need to use the Red Blood Sword anymore, Levera has been coveting for 1500 gold coins, she definitely won't want to, why not sell half a delivery, 800 gold coins, she should be able to take it out; sapphire magic ring, as Curtis Truth's lifebox, don't know if there are any secrets, don't sell it for now; pink gems can be sold. ”

But he thought about it.

With new inspiration: "I don't really need to prepare a bunch of gifts for Levi's wedding, I can give him pink stones, worth a thousand gold coins, absolutely a very powerful gift... pink stones as a gift, Red Blood Sword can buy two used sailboats after selling money, almost to make up for the lack of luck. ”

Properly planned.

He immediately went to Tulip Chateau to find Levera - although enclosed in Falcon, she spent eleven months a year in Tulip Chateau, devouring the elderly.

“You're selling me the Red Blood Sword?” Livella looked at Lister, the servant of the wind and dust, surprised.

“I didn't sell it to you, I sold it half way, just when I needed money, and I thought you needed a good weapon, so I made this decision. ”

“Are you in need of money now? ”

“It is conceivable that, in order to seal off Black Horse Island, I have hardly received any material rewards for the Battle of Iron Hoop Island; that the development of Black Horse Island has turned me into a poor man; and that, with Meoppo's marriage to Levi's, my funds have been severely depleted and I can only think from you. ”

Faced with Livius' predicament, Rivera thought about it and said, "Red Blood Sword is a gift from Grandpa. It makes sense, so I won't take away his promise to you, but I can lend you a gold coin. ”

If you can borrow money, Lester certainly doesn't want to sell Red Blood Sword.

This is a very good backup weapon.

“How many gold coins can you lend me? ”

“Five hundred, enough. ”

“A thousand pieces, I'm short of money... how much do you want, just lend me 2,000 gold coins. ”
