The Defeated Dragon Chapter 242

Chapter 242 – Brad's New Life

The qi in Liszt's body eliminated the hangover symptoms, so as soon as he woke up, Liszt was back to life.

He immediately headed out to say his farewells to the count. “New Year's Day is in two days. I have to go back to Flower Town to deal with some territorial affairs.”

“Just in time. I was about to send someone to inform you of something.” “

“Please tell me, Father. “

“There was a boat from Red Crab Island last night with the deputy steward of Long Taro Castle in it. He brought a letter from your uncle Messillo. The letter mentioned that your grandfather has never recovered. This year is probably his last celebration of the New Year's Day. So your uncle hopes that the three of you would go to Red Crab Island to celebrate the New Year's Day with them. “

Has the body of Marquis Merlin come to an end … Liszt was somehow sad. He had positive feelings for Marquis Merlin, who presented him with a gem weapon and the red blood sword, not to mention the positive emotions in his predecessor's memory.

“You will return to Flower Town today and head back here tomorrow. The day after that you will set off with the ship. The two-day voyage ends just in time for the New Year.” The count had already set the schedule.

“Yes, Father.”

———-

“Finally going back!” Paris stretched herself and cheered. “I've already started to miss the egg rolls in Flower Town. Oh my God, Coral Town doesn't have egg rolls!”

“Not every place is like Flower Town.” Liszt raised his cloak and turned over to ride the dragon horse.

Black war horses, black leather armor, and bright red cloaks, hoods not worn on the head, exposing the pale golden hair, blowing in the cold wind.

It was enough to dazzle a group of little girls and even old ones.

“Master Liszt is really too handsome!” The maids cleaning outside the castle were blushing when they saw Liszt.

It was like a Mary Sue or Tom Sue story, but not clear which one to think of.

Paris heard the maids' whispers and couldn't help but roll her eyes. But when she saw Liszt, who was on his horse, waving to Madame Penelope, Lvera and Madame Marie, she was equally dazed and felt a bit of Tom Sue's huge breath hit her all over her body.

“How can a man look so handsome!”

As we made our way back to Flower Town, the sky was still drifting with light, and the snow was not very thick on the ground. The main road was very clean. The officials and serfs in Flower Town obviously did not slack off during Liszt's absence.

After returning to the castle, the officials immediately came to report their work.

“Adviser Gort, these people are Brad's family. They are moving here in Flower Town. You are responsible for arranging a house for them. In addition, Philip, let Brad come, I have something to tell him.” After Liszt said it, he asked again, “Have you finished handing over the iron ingots that the caravan brought back?”

“The iron ingot has been stored in the warehouse of the castle. Without your instructions, it has not been handed over to the blacksmith for the time being.”

 “Leave three thousand pounds of iron ingots to keep for inventory, and take out ten thousand pounds of iron ingots and hand them to the smithy. Also, try to build a batch of construction tools, as well as logging tools. We must also quickly cut down the iron thorns so it won't be a  big problem to us in the future.

“As you wish.”

Soon, the crystal artisan ,Brad, who was carving volcanic glassware, came to the castle. He had just learned from his family that the Count had ordered his family to move to Flower Town and have Liszt as his leader- they must now stay in Flower Town for the rest of their lives.

Brad's heart collapsed, realizing his life has changed from being a city dweller with a good life, to a town shack in a small town.

 But he did not dare to complain, because this was the Count's orders. On Coral Island, no one dared to disobey the Count's will, not even a noble master.

Seeing Brad's reluctance, Liszt was in a good mood and comforted him. “Brad, don't worry about your future. The beauty of Flower Town will exceed your imagination.”

“I … Lord Lord, I am not worried about life. Flower Town is very beautiful and the food is delicious. I know it. But I … I am worried about my work. I can't get any more crystal carving jobs here. Oh God, I think I'll starve to death. “The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt that he almost cried.

“I said, don't worry about your life. Don't worry about your work. You just need to work for the castle and work for me. I can ensure that your income will not be less than if you were in Coral City.”

Brad is a highly-skilled craftsman. Liszt attaches great importance to it  because Brad can carve not only crystal but also volcanic glass-which means that Brad can be entirely responsible for the entire future of carving of glass- which is a product Liszt will study sooner or later.

A few simple words of comfort already made Liszt impatient. Even the most skilled craftsmen were just civilians in front of him.

“Isaiah, remember to build a crystal workshop in the workshop area and give it to Brad to preside over.”

As you wish.”

There was not much to say anymore about the town's affairs.

What's next was to make arrangements for the celebration of the New Year's Festival in Flower Town. This was a festival that any country celebrated. The town also needs a festival to relax the citizens and increase harmony among them.

As the consultant, Gort was tasked to preside over this year's festival celebrations. Marcus, on the other hand, was sent to Black Horse Island to host the New Year's Festival celebration there.

He was relieved that Isaiah, Blair and others were taking care of the construction of the territory.

Moreover, he also decided to let Zambrotta take up his post ahead of schedule, first serving as the town's legal officer and then to assist Isaiah in managing the project.

Russell and Randy, the two earth knights ,were sent straight home for the holidays-after all, they have not officially followed Liszt.

And so.

The report was over.

Liszt sent the officials away.

Liszt began to deal with the private affairs of the castle. He instructed the steward Carter, “I have to return to Tulip Castle tomorrow. This year I will go to the Long Taro Castle in Red Crab Island for Chinese New Year. Mr. Carter, take care of the castle for me. “

“Of course, your will is my guide.” Carter answered gracefully.

"Then help me choose the gifts first. What gift should I bring to grandpa, uncle and cousin? Levis and Lvera will of course be ahead of me. I'm just a country baron. I don't need to spend too much money. I'd just better send some special products-flower soap is quite good, and oyster sauce!

Oyster sauce was a specialty of the oyster village. Half of the seafood business of Flower Caravan is selling oyster sauce.

Oyster sauce is indispensable for the cooking of coral island aristocrats.

It would be very suitable as a gift, and any man would surely  like it.

With the oyster sauce and fresh flower soap as a base, Carter helped to select several accompanying gifts and the list of gifts was completed. They then discussed some issues such as how to take care of the sprites.

Carter suddenly remembered, “Sir, there is one thing that I don't know how you would want to be arranged.”

“What is it?”

“When the old Defoe of the dog farm came to check the status of the pregnant wolf, he said that she may have a birth within the last half month. I don't know how to arrange it.”

“Did he say exactly when?”

“He only has a rough idea.  I'll let someone call Old Defoe over.”

“Hmmm-mmm.” Liszt nodded, there would be a lot of puppies in the belly of Stupidwoman. He valued the magical beasts very much as it would be his wolf army in the future.
