The Defeated Dragon
CHAPTER 821 KNIGHTS CHANGED (1st MORE)
Didn't get any useful advice from Marquis Bulltail.
Lester's father, whose vision had been limited by the knighthood system, had formed and stabilized, and could not see anything that needed improvement.
It is still the kind of legendary continent that is used to - kings run the kings' territories, nobles run the nobles' territories, there are wars to fight together, there are filth to divide together, and then we go back to our families and find our mothers. Kings don't look like kings, they're essentially just leading brothers.
The system is undoubtedly poorly advanced, but it also fits the current conditions of productivity.
When the Marquis Bulltail's father and son left, Lester leaned back on the chair and was still thinking about it. In the period he had just passed, he was ambitious, thinking about changing the social system, changing the feudal partition to centralization, and concentrating his power entirely on the king alone.
However, reform of the system could not be accomplished overnight.
If China did not have the male Tu hegemony of the Emperor of Qin Shihuang “Stronger than the Sixth, more vigorous tactics and more powerful within the Emperor", it would be equally difficult to achieve centralization. And in Lester's current thinking, whether it's feudal or centralized, it's a backward feudal system.
I really don't know if it's more comfortable to divide or centralize - it's more comfortable to live as a dragon farmer at the top of the pyramid, or as a multi-headed dragon farmer.
“A better system, a democratic democracy and I will not play, shaking our power for nothing, a great spirit that I have not been able to do.” He shook his head silently, trying the beauty of power, and how he could let go of this flavor and play a noble maneuver.
A moment later, he made a decision.
“For the time being, there is no impetus for reform, then follow the system of the Iron Ridge Kingdom and continue to maintain the separation system… When the flame kingdom grows and my personal strength peaks, if you want centralization at that time, you can freely pinch invincible reform, and believe that no one dares to stop me. ”
However, his eyes turned to the map of the Flame Islands on the table, and he laughed suddenly and felt like he had been disturbing himself.
About five million square kilometres of the Flame Islands, of which Flame Island occupies more than three million square kilometres, equates to the fact that even if he separates all the remaining archipelagos, his king's territory remains immense. One third of China is large enough for families to flourish.
Separation is good, centralization is good, that's it.
When Flame Island flourishes under his development, the system will grow even if Lester does not take the initiative to reform it. Even if he continues to divide, the enclosed nobility sees the abundance of Flame Island, perhaps crying and begging to remain an official on Flame Island.
Say it again.
If he can one day contract the fairy dragon, immortality...
The next day.
On 15 July, the funeral of the Marquis Merlyn was held in a leaching rain. There were no grand ceremonies, no drumming noises, that is, many noblemen rode carriages and followed the Knights guarding the coffins to the graveyards of the Yam family.
Grave pits have long been dug and inscriptions erected.
This is not a very large square headstone, written in serpentine, “Marquis of Red Crab Island - Merlin Long Potato”, "Honor 18 Apr 71”, “Honor 3 Jul 154”. Glory is birth, glory is death, the inscription is simple, not even the name of the inscriptionist.
However, there is a small line at the bottom.
“To life, to death, give a cold glance, knights climb over. ”
This is the tombstone Marquis Merlin himself had long thought of, and before he could rest, he had ordered the tombstone to be engraved and buried above his sleeping cemetery.
Lister held a tulip flower in his hand and stood in front of the tombstone before the rain fell on Frak Abier, dampening his clothes. Marquis Merlyn's past, even a dozen days after his death, remains depressed. If there was no accident, he would have waited until that day to become a white bone with loess.
Thought he was not afraid of death, yet at this moment he is more eager to contract with Fairy Dragon.
As Marquis Merlyn's coffin was buried in the earth, his desire grew stronger - never wanting to be buried in the earth one day.
The atmosphere throughout the cemetery was very quiet, with all the nobles silent but silent meditative prayers. When the servants of the cemetery filled the earth with pots of flowers, an elderly nobleman at the scene coughed softly, a distant cousin of the Marquis Merlyn, Gomemi Yam.
Although the title was only that of an ordinary baron, he was old enough to be invited by Messiro to host the funeral.
After all the elderly aristocrats and others noticed him, they slowly swallowed: “The Marquis of Red Crab Island and the pillars of the Yam family, Merlin Long Sleep Here… The funeral has been completed, and guests are invited to circle the cemetery in turn to offer flowers and say their final farewell to Merlin Long Yam. ”
Flowers are a beautiful symbol, many noblemen use flowers as their surnames, and the donation of flowers to the dead is one of the few important links at the funeral.
As the highest-ranking dragon knight and warrior, Lister walked forward with Archer and gently placed the tulip in front of the tombstone.
Mr. and Mrs. Messiro and Mr. and Mrs. Meoppo stood beside the cemetery with a sad expression on their faces and a slight bow of gratitude to them. Lester and Archer bowed and walked around the cemetery, leaving the cemetery under the guidance of their servants.
Immediately after him, the noble guests saluted the flowers and left the cemetery.
Simply complete Marquis Merlin's funeral.
Little rain is still leaching.
Lester refused to take the knight's umbrella support move, and grabbed the umbrella and held it up herself. He stepped on a soaked bluestone plate with Archer and slowly walked towards the Fort of Tartars. He did not walk too fast, and the noblemen behind him, such as Anthony, could only follow slowly.
No one rushed up to interrupt, leaving plenty of room for Lester and Archer to chat.
The Dragon Knight's handsome face has a glimmer: “If I don't get the Dragon Domain Lord's way of covenant, I'll be lying in the dark like a grandfather in a few decades. ”
Archer wrinkled his tiny nose: “But Archer can still live for many years. ”
“Then live well and shelter my family. ”
“No, Archie wants to be with her brother, she doesn't want to be separated. ”
“Life and death are rich in heaven, man, there must always be a moment of joy and divorce, just as the moon on this heaven is clear and full of life.” Lester said with emotion that although he was willing to contract the fairy dragon, even if he couldn't find the fairy dragon, he had to contract the other dragons.
But who can guarantee that the contract will succeed, that so many kings will die, and that they will not see the contract succeed.
So far there have been rumours on the legendary continent that the Emperor of the Glorious Empire has been in power for more than two hundred years, and he is clearly a dragon domain lord.
However, it is hard to tell if the news is true or false, and the Empire of Fairness is too far away from the Grand Duchy of Sapphires to make almost any intersection.
Of course, Liszt will go for it if there is a slight possibility.
Big deal. Ride the Invisible Dragon into the Imperial Palace of the Glorious Empire and find the Emperor to talk about the contract of the Dragon Domain Lord.
Anyway, who wants to die?
Archer doesn't know what Lister thinks, but she says seriously: “Brother, don't worry, Archer will work out the way the Dragon Domain Lord contracts, so that Brother can live for hundreds of years until we don't want to live. ”
Lister smiled: "Okay, I look forward to it! ”

I don't know what kind of tombstone you want to engrave yourself. When you die, you will engrave it about: “This person will never be able to water again...”
