Chapter 641: Chapter 0638: Dazzling Noble (First Update)

“`

“Wow!”

Confined to the box, Jela let out a reluctant protest but ultimately couldn’t resist Liszt’s discipline and obediently settled down for a deep sleep.

Only then did Liszt find time to mount the Landwalker bird Loki and head towards the seaside castle.

Ach wasn’t in the castle, and neither was the Rainbow Whale Rose. Only the Giant Algae Greater Elf Pike, along with three Giant Algae Minor Elves and eight Giant Algae Elf Bugs, were freely swimming in the pool.

Upon seeing Liszt arrive, Pike opened his sharp-toothed mouth wide and laughed heartily, “Whoa, Liszt, you’re back! Ach said you were at war. Did you win? Pike has never lost a battle in the sea. Do you want me to teach you?”

“Thanks, Pike,” Liszt reached out and shook hands with Pike, “but I fight on land, and so far, I haven’t lost there either.”

“Haha, just like Pike, handsome Liszt is an expert in battle. We’re both masters of war.”

“Indeed.”

Liszt humored the irreverent Pike with a few random responses before asking, “Where’s Ach?”

“She went out with that stupid, ugly big rainbow fish to look for bugs. What a letdown. What’s so great about those little bugs? Pike hates them the most. If any dare to come to Pike’s territory, Pike will tear them in two!”

“Don’t say that, Pike; you evolved from an Elf Bug yourself!”

“Haha, but I have evolved successfully and have risen above low-level tastes. They are still little bugs, foolish and ugly.”

Making a good point, Liszt found himself at a loss for words for the moment.

He couldn’t quite figure out how this Giant Algae Greater Elf had grown to have such a sharp, conceited, and narcissistic personality. He felt he should interact less with Pike in the future, lest Pike influence his own character—the magical bond was quite mysterious and was a two-way contract.

It seemed to rely on mental strength to determine who was the dominant party.

When the elf was weak, the human was the dominant party in the contract. For example, Elf Bugs couldn’t refuse their master’s orders, and Little Minor Elves also had difficulty going against commands. As the elf grew stronger, the dominant party in the contract also changed. Liszt found it hard to directly order the Greater Elf Pike around.

If it was a Dragon Elf stronger than the Greater Elf, the magical bond would probably be a completely equal contract.

Liszt even speculated that if there were an Elf King, the Elf King might use the magical bond to take the dominant party’s place and become the master of humans.

Of course, having never seen a Dragon Elf, he had no way to confirm the situation with the Elf King.

Choosing not to engage in idle chatter with Pike any further, he directly asked, “Pike, do you know when Ach will be back?”

“Handsome Pike does not know.”

“Alright, you keep playing. I’m leaving.”

“Don’t go, let’s chat some more.”

…

At night, Fresh Flower Town Nameless Castle was the scene of another grand banquet, celebrating Liszt’s triumphant return. Phrases like ‘the glory of knighthood shines upon us’ could be heard every so often.

At the same time,

At Coral Island, in Tulip Castle,

One of Li Weiliam’s Retainer Knights was reporting to Levis, with Lady Marie, Loria, and Lidun listening on the side: “…The campaign for the Pioneer Mandate unfolded like this: Lord Liszt stationed at Trapped Dragon Mountain Iron Mine for five days and then, to avoid retaliatory strikes from Dragon Knights, returned by boat. He arrived back at Fresh Flower Town this afternoon.”

“`

Having listened to all the details of the Pioneer Mandate,

Lady Marie couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Ah!”

The Retainer Knight was not a good storyteller. The thrilling images of war were described in a dry manner, but the excitement was still palpable, making everyone in the room feel as if they were there.

Levis shook his head in disbelief, “A Domain Knight? A Domain Knight even more powerful than a Completion Level Sky Knight? Liszt actually defeated a Domain Knight all by himself and even seized a mine with a million tons of iron ore?”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, his excitement mounting, “A mine with a million tons, had you already transported half of it when you returned?”

“Yes, Sir Levis.”

Lidun screamed from beside him, “The Marquis Nuta, wielding the Dou Qi of the entire Knight Order, was actually unable to defeat Brother Liszt? And he even captured several Sky Knights, one of whom, a Sword Saint, became his follower?”

“Indeed.”

A moment of silence followed, accompanied by sounds of shocked gasps.

Lady Marie recovered from her astonishment and, clutching her palms together, asked, “So in this session of the Pioneer Mandate, has the Tulip Family accrued great military achievements?”

“I followed the Lord and overheard Lord Mesiro confirming in a conversation with Lord Liszt that the military achievements have reached the standard required for promotion to Marquis. If the subsequent half a million tons of iron ore can also be successfully transported back, the promotion of Lord to Marquis could be greatly advanced, possibly occurring as soon as the conclusion of the Pioneer Mandate.”

“Praise Liszt, Praise Father Lord!” Loria clasped her hands devoutly at her chest, “May the glory of knighthood always favor the Tulip Family!”

Subsequently, Loria asked, “Father Lord who remains in the Eagle Kingdom, did he mention when he would return? Also, has my father mentioned when he would come back?”

“When the transportation of the iron ore finishes, the Pioneer Mandate will basically come to an end. The Lord, Marquis Roderick, and Lord Mesiro should all return together.”

Levis, unable to contain his excitement, paced back and forth in the living room, incessantly inquiring about battlefield details, and sent someone to inform Lady Penelope and Li Vera. When the old lady and Li Vera arrived at Tulip Castle, there was another round of astonishment and praise.

Lady Penelope stated on the spot, “Tomorrow, let us go to Fresh Flower Town together. Our Tulip Family’s most outstanding bloodline has returned from the battlefield, and we shall rightly celebrate his bountiful joy!”

After more than an hour of commotion,

Tulip Castle finally returned to tranquility.

After completing their evening ablutions, Levis and Loria went back to their room and straight to the cradle cared for by the servants, looking at their sleeping infant with the tender expressions of parents.

Levis reached out and touched the baby’s soft cheeks, saying, “We’ll go to Fresh Flower Town tomorrow and take Richard along, to let Liszt see his nephew. He is now a top-ranking powerhouse, second only to the Dragon Knights, and this Pioneer Mandate with all its resources belongs to him—his harvest will surely be substantial.”

Just half a month ago, a full-term pregnant Loria gave birth to a healthy baby boy, who became the Tulip Family’s fourth-generation legitimate eldest son.

Named — Richard Tulip — as per the name chosen by the Earl before he left.

Loria expressed her concern, “Isn’t Richard too young, the journey might be too bumpy…”

“Don’t worry, just ask the servants to be extra careful, and place more quilts inside the carriage. Liszt is his close uncle, we cannot neglect such a powerful figure; the Tulip Family’s rise to Marquis on Iron Hoof Island will still depend on Liszt’s support to secure a foothold.”

Perhaps it was the direct experience of strength that changed his perception, or becoming a parent had altered his view, but Levis had fully realized Liszt’s might.

Loria agreed, “You’re right, Liszt is a strong backup for our family, we need to maintain a close relationship with him.”

As she spoke, she bowed her head.

Looking at Richard with maternal affection, “My son, you are indeed a fortunate little fellow. Your maternal grandfather is the Marquis of Golden Island, your grandfather will be the Marquis of Iron Hoof Island, your uncle has limitless prospects, and you are destined to become the most dazzling noble of Sapphire.”
