Chapter 847 Cousin Raleigh
.. , Dalong died
Where the Sapphire family is headed, only Grand Duke Sapphire and heir Anthony know what to do.
Liszt, who was more than 7,000 kilometers away, didn't know that he was very busy now, and he couldn't pay attention to the situation outside the Flaming Islands.
Of course, a lot of information is still pouring in to him-the rats of Xavier Cow Dung Organization, the blood servants managed by Mary Dawn Dawn, are his two eyes hidden in the shadows.
The mice are mainly responsible for inquiring about the internal intelligence of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and more to protect the territory from being infiltrated by external forces; the blood servants are dispatched to the Eagle Kingdom and the Iron Ridge Kingdom, mainly to lurk, and wait until they find out about major trends. Early warning.
However, the current situation in Sapphire is stable, the Eagle Kingdom is busy shrinking to maintain stability, and the Iron Ridge Kingdom and the Blast Furnace Kingdom are fighting hard.
No one has time to pay attention to the Fire Islands.
"Has the fleet of the Pine Cone Family arrived at the mouth of the Great Whirlpool River? I should go there in person and arrange the development of the Pine Cone Family by the way." Liszt received the information from the knight and made some arrangements, "Let Verner Viscount Er took a knight order and five thousand serfs to the mouth of the Whirlpool River."
From Firefire Town to the mouth of the Whirlpool River, the Knights can take a sloop that has just been launched from the dock.
The boat went smoothly all the way. Although the speed was not fast, it was better to save energy. Calculating the time, Vernal Mok had led the Knights to the mouth of the Great Whirlpool River, and Liszt drove the invisible dragon Bard and set off to meet the Pine Cone Family who followed him.
boom!
Arriving at the sky above the camp, Liszt jumped off the invisible dragon's back, and his figure slowly emerged after landing. This has become his standard appearance posture.
I always like to play this kind of low-key luxury abrupt atmosphere.
"Your Highness!" The knights guarding the camp saluted Liszt walking out of the dust. They were no strangers to it.
Liszt patted the dust on the cloak, and at this time Vernal and Roland Songcone came out together.
"Your Highness!"
"Lister!"
"Uncle, is everything going well with this voyage?" Liszt motioned the two of them not to be too polite, and then kindly asked Viscount Roland - the Pine Cone Family has followed him,
The identity definitely belongs to his followers, so in terms of etiquette, Liszt has become Roland's lord.
"Thanks to the navigator you sent, and the batch of fixed wind and fixed water divine beads, we encountered four storms on the road, and we survived all of them safely without much loss." Viscount Roland replied with lingering fear.
Ever since he decided to send an expedition fleet to search for new islands, Liszt entrusted the Magic Guild to mass-produce the God Orbs of Wind and Water to protect the safety of the sailing fleet. The sea is unforgiving, and not even the largest court clippers can compete with the waves.
But Dingfeng Shenzhu and Dingshui Shenzhu can calm the threat brought by the waves. It has to be said that in a world full of magic, there is always a magical way to deal with it.
"It's good to be safe." Liszt comforted.
Only then did he see that there was a young fat knight behind Viscount Roland. It was Viscount Roland's youngest son and Liszt's cousin, Raleigh Pine Cone. The other cousin, Russell, stayed in the family territory to handle some matters concerning the handover of the territory, so he did not follow.
The female family members of the Songuo family did not follow either.
"Liszt..." Raleigh wanted to say hello, but he was a little afraid.
Back then when he was the Baron of Flower Town, he and Liszt could still talk and laugh, and even showed off the topaz pendant his grandfather gave him.
When Liszt became a dragon knight, he gradually felt that this cousin was strange, and he gradually developed a sense of awe. Especially, I often hear my father and mother admonishing how to face the dragon knight.
The distinct class status originating from the knight system made Raleigh feel inferior and fearful. The cousin he once made fun of and only received a broken notebook from his grandfather as a gift has grown into one of the pinnacle figures of power, strength, and influence in this world.
It was no longer the "little cousin who was not liked by the family" in his memory.
"Cousin Raleigh." Liszt walked over, patted Raleigh on the shoulder with a smile, "Not bad, you've become an Earth Knight."
Although he and Aunt Melinda's relatives are not considered close, and they have very little communication, they still release enough kindness, after all, the other party has already taken refuge in him.
Raleigh smiled awkwardly: "I haven't even become an elite, and I'm still far behind."
"Turn yourself more, elite land knights are not a problem." Seeing that Raleigh was really nervous, Liszt no longer forcibly talked to his cousin, and turned back to continue talking to Viscount Roland, "I have planned the arrangement of the Pine Cone family long ago. , my uncle is developing here at the mouth of the Whirlpool River, and will be responsible for the trade with Tulip Island in the future."
"I'm in charge of the trade with Tulip Island?"
"Yes, the main reason is that the resources of the two islands are shared. The Tulip family will fully develop Tulip Island, but there is definitely a shortage of labor there. I will support some of their serfs."
"You don't have enough serfs yourself, do you?"
"Haha, it was not enough in the past, but now there are too many serfs... There are a large number of indigenous tribes on Flame Island, all of which are high-quality serf sources. Because there are too many, I don't have enough knight followers temporarily, so I may not be able to Digest so many serfs."
"This is really exciting news." Viscount Roland hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can the Songuo family also buy a batch of serfs?"
"You don't need to buy it, you can catch it yourself, but you must pay attention to capturing the serfs at the lowest price as much as possible, and don't cause too many unnecessary killings... The Flame Island is too big. If you want to fully develop it, you need a huge number of serfs. It is still not enough to capture all the tribes.”
At this stage, the number of natives is too large to digest, but when the knight class grows stronger, the number of natives will become rare.
So every time a native is killed, it is a loss of resources.
Vernal added on the side: "With His Royal Highness's consent, our knights have actually rarely used the method of arrest to obtain serfs, mainly to lure ancient magicians to recruit serfs. Most of the tribe's natives are attracted by the life of serfs. Even those ancient magicians can't stop the annexation, they will work obediently for us."
Countless years of living in the forest have seriously degraded the IQ of the ancient magicians, and they can't distinguish the cannibalism method of the foreign knights at all.
After selling himself, he had to help the knights count the money.
Although these ancient magicians are not very good at casting spells, their magic effects are not bad. After being managed in a unified manner and constantly brainwashed, they can probably act as pioneers in the development of forests—much better than African black sorghum, at least the moon killers are not Lazy, will work hard.
After all, the blood of the ancestors originated from the Moon Empire, not the gorillas.
...
Right now, the Songuo Family is taking root at the mouth of the Great Whirlpool River.
The family is an old viscount family, and is related to the Changyu family, and their wealth accumulation is not small. There are more than 300 knights who are willing to follow, plus the earth knights temporarily recruited. There are more than 800 apprentice knights, and there are also 1,000 serfs who migrated in the first batch.
For the development of Flame Island, it is not a small boost.
Gather the knights brought by Vernal and the moon-killing serfs, and make every effort to build the future "Hekou City" and the first port of Flame Island - Hekou Port.
