The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 653: Earl's Circle (second)
Livius stepped out of the study, shut the door tight, he was not a fool, and naturally heard that Lester was going to take him away - although unwilling, at this stage he did not participate in the family's top secret.
In the study room.
The Count and Lester each sat in a large chair, and Loria had just arrived with a few cups of soaked tea. The Earl tasted the tea and waited for what Lester was about to say - he was indeed a little curious and his son seemed to have been reluctant to follow the Grand Duke.
Normally, it is obviously very exciting to be a follower of a greater nobility.
Being a direct follower of the Grand Duke certainly has more opportunities and benefits than being a follower of an Earl or Marquis. This is a good thing that other nobles want absolutely to squeeze their heads into, but come to their sons and simply refuse.
It's really hard to understand.
Last time, Lester was only a Viscount, and even following the Grand Duke would not be much use, so why not follow the Count and help the family fight for glory.
This time the Marquis was looking forward to such a great position and glory that it could not be said that it would refuse.
He doesn't understand.
Lester knew exactly what he was doing.
His reasons for reluctance to follow the Grand Duke are clear, he is a noble dragon knight, the Grand Duke may just be a dragon realm lord, the sapphire dragon still looks disabled, how to make the dragon knight loyal to the disabled dragon realm lord. If Leo finds himself beneath a handicapped gemstone dragon, he will probably go wild on the spot.
“Father, you must be wondering why I don't want to follow the Grand Duke or split up.” Lister said, “The reason I don't want to split up is simple, I don't like the name 'giant algae’, it doesn't sound like there's much to it, and I have a more noble name to choose from. ”
Don't like the name "giant algae”?
What is this strange reason that the Count finds himself increasingly unable to understand this son: “What noble name do you have to choose? ”
“I haven't thought of that last name yet. ”
The Earl stunned: "What? ”
Lister discretioned: “According to my guess, the Grand Duke did not succeed in riding the dragon at all, he was just a dragon domain lord. Sapphire dragons have also been severely traumatized, not only without healing but also likely to compromise their lifespan. So this is not the kind of lord I should follow. ”
He despised the Grand Duke of Sapphire a little - the Grand Duke who came on the dragon was a real bluff, a noble gesture of dragon riding, and made people think he was really a Dragon Knight - and turned out to be just a dragon realm lord.
At this moment, Lester is organizing language, summing up pros and cons, and seeing how he can communicate his identity to the Count. Now he doesn't need to be too cautious, it's time to get some air with the Count and let him weigh how the Tulip family will get along in the future.
Once the country is established, the Tulip family must follow him.
Now, how the Tulip family develops in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is another plan and strategy.
Count doesn't know that.
Listening to Lister's words, he frowned and spoke with seriousness: "Lister, I know that you are powerful, and as a Ghostswordsman heir, you can defeat the knights of the realm. But the power of the Grand Duke must not be underestimated. Even if he is not a Dragon Knight but a Dragon Domain Lord, he can easily kill any Ancient Warrior heir! ”
“In fact, he couldn't kill me, and even fought straight, and the Grand Duke probably couldn't beat me anymore. ”
“Are you too young, too swollen, knocking down realm knights to make you so blind and confident, or is the Ghost Swordsman inheritance making you feel stronger than dragons? ”
“Father, the dragon's powerful I know better than anyone. ”
“Then you should understand who you are and still need to respect the Grand Duke in order to develop in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire! ”
“Have a cup of tea and let me organize the language.” Lester stretched out his hand to show the Count a little restlessness, a faint expression, and everything was in his grasp.
He is a Dragon Knight, and Archer is a Magic Mentor.
Though not yet at its peak, the combined strength is absolutely counterproductive to the Grand Duke of Sapphire.
Sooner or later, his identity will be revealed, and it will not be possible to keep secrets forever, nor will he be happy to bury his filthy head.
The Count is by far the most suitable person to inform at the outset, with the Count providing cover, and his dragon knight status can still be concealed. But to avoid the trouble of having to follow the Grand Duke - who has twice given the option to follow, repeatedly rejecting it is difficult to explain.
Although he was reluctant to bow his head to the dragon domain lord, he could not bear the burden first if it was beneficial to development.
Only a little more worried, the Grand Duke and the dragon spent decades together, and now he is a dragon realm lord, in case his dragon knighthood is detected while following the oath of allegiance on the scene. At that time, I'm afraid it wasn't just about sworn allegiance, it was probably about the Battle of the Dragons.
Harmful hearts are not possible, and preventive hearts are indispensable.
Who knows if Grand Duke Sapphire, when he discovers a dragon knight whose strength has not yet risen, chooses to care for providing an environment for growth, or whether he chooses Thunderbolt to rob a young dragon - I'm afraid 99 percent of the chances are to rob it and leave it to his family for life.
By then, whether Liszt defeats the Grand Duke or the Grand Duke crushes Liszt, there will be a huge wave.
If a foreign dragon knight enters the emptiness, I'm afraid there's no way to clean up the situation at that time.
So the Count's cover is necessary —— the father would seem greedy to outsiders in order to get his son to do more work for himself and stop his son from loyalty, but it's really an excuse for not being able to speak.
A moment later.
He had thought through the details and told the truth about his identity: “I have to confess to you that there is no ghost swordsman inherited at all, it is just a cover for my eyes, I have always been an orthodox knight training system, a Sky Knight. ”
“No ghost swordsman inherited?” The Count's face changed and he stared at Lester, "but your strength is stronger than that of a realm knight, don't tell me it's your gift so! ”
“Half of it is truly my gift, and the other half is simple: I am a Dragon Knight.” He spoke calmly of his identity.
“What?”
The Count suspected himself of being misheard.
Lister seriously repeats: “I am already a Dragon Knight. ”
“Dragon Knight?” The Count reaches out, doesn't know what he's comparing, and his expression looks very congested, "you mean, Dragon Knight, Dragon Knight riding Dragon Knight? ”
“is a fire dragon. ”
“Fire Dragon? Evil Dragon?”
“Rest assured, I will restrain it from doing evil. ”
The Earl nodded slightly, seemingly accepting the fact. He leaned against the back of the chair and lifted half the tea he had already had on his desk, making a very casual move. However, Lester carefully discovered that tea water was trembling slightly inside a clear glass.
I wanted to pass the cup to my mouth, but the cup was trembling more and more, eventually the whole arm was shaking, the tea in the cup was spilling out, but I couldn't get it to my mouth.
eventually.
The tea in the cup was still shaken out by him, sprinkled a large piece of it on his chest, but he was suddenly unconscious and looked at the void in front of him: “Dragon Knight, right? ”
“Yes.”
