Chapter 0002: The Serpent Script Composed of Smoke

But now Liszt does not feel that this is an illusion; perhaps it is a benefit for time travelers, a manifestation of some system? It is hard to say, and he decides to verify it.

Grilled goat meat, poached lamprey, a small serving of apple puree and pear slices, hop-infused wheat beer, and white bread made from fine wheat flour

This is Liszt's dinner

A small town where one cannot even eat to satisfaction, devoid of any nightlife, only endless silence

Of course, there are exceptions in the court

"Liszt, this is not a good idea. It is better to just stroll around the small town; you should not go to Thorny Ridge. Do not forget that you almost died at Thorny Ridge," Gaultier immediately interjected.

As long as the territory is patrolled, the task can be completed, and whether a reward can be obtained at that time will serve as proof

After dinner, the old butler Carter directed the maid to clear the table, while the personal male servant brought the washing water to assist Liszt in rinsing his mouth

"Liszt." Gaultier took a sip of tea with honey and said, "The elf bug should be utilized as soon as possible, but the town's finances are truly terrible. The previous governor was a fool, doing nothing but oppressing the serfs, and he left us with a mess!"

"It is my honor to serve you." Carter conveniently closed the door behind him

It is indeed the case that Liszt did not like having a personal male servant. Every time Thomas assisted him in getting dressed, it would give Liszt goosebumps—an abominable aristocratic system

Task: As the lord, it is necessary to understand everything about the territory. Please take a tour around Flower Town to assess the crises within the territory and prepare for future development. Reward: Elevation of fighting spirit

You should be careful and cautious, Gao Ertai said helplessly

Until now, the Earl of Coral Island still occasionally enters the palace to serve as a groom

Conversely, the saddle can also restrict the rider's equestrian skills... However, without a saddle, there is always some discomfort to the posterior...

Why male nobles cannot have personal female servants

It was only after the soul had crossed over that Liszt was able to clearly see the content of the text

As a member of the soul transfer, having inherited all the memories of his predecessor, Lister is able to understand this serpent script

Essentially, commoners are the servants of the nobility, while minor nobles are the servants of the major nobility

I know that the teacher will investigate as soon as possible to see which locations are suitable for placing the spirit insects

Is this my territory, impoverished and backward, yet it wholly belongs to me, the area of a town, all part of my independent kingdom... I will transform it into a paradise!

A hint of disappointment appeared on Thomas's face, as he had not been given the opportunity to showcase himself for several consecutive days. Liszt would always assign him tasks instead of requiring his constant attendance.

Flower Town is located at the northeastern tip of Coral Island, surrounded by Thorny Ridge. Due to the presence of many monsters, few merchant caravans are willing to come here for trade

Marcus replied: "The Thorny Ridge is vast, and the activities of the magical beasts are unpredictable. You only have four knightly retainers. Even if I were to understand all the magical beasts, it would still be impossible to defend against them. The patrols are utterly unreliable; they are nothing but a bunch of ruffians who would wet their pants in the face of magical beasts"

The current Liszt cannot remain indifferent, for he is a new youth basking in the glorious banner of communalism. Since he has become a local lord, it has become his duty to rescue the people from their dire straits—only when the town of Xianhua becomes prosperous can he, as the lord, enjoy better privileges.

This indicates that it is a benefit

The content is brief and not complex

Even when dealing with humble servants, one must show politeness and respect—what happens in private, whether it be beating or killing or any other perversion, is of no concern; on the surface, one must always maintain a noble demeanor

A piece of content that had puzzled him for a week

He is more than willing to accept this, fearing that other nobles might replace him in his position as the coachman, thereby hindering his close relationship with the Duke

What Liszt could not understand was why he could see the smoke serpent script, searching for memories of his past, and why the smoke serpent script had appeared since childhood. However, at that time, the smoke was very faint and blurry, to the extent that he could not clearly see what the serpent script was saying, and he had always thought he was experiencing hallucinations

After seeing off the two teachers, Liszt thought.

"After ten o'clock, Thomas, please add another candle to my study, as I wish to read." Liszt instructed his personal servant to carry out the task.

As Thomas brought in a candle and left, the study became bright. Liszt stood up and drew back the curtains, through the castle's windows, he could see a few lights in the nearby town.

It is the golden finger of the traveler—before the traveler moves, the golden finger acts first

The earl is his father, and he does not like himself, so he generally will not come to bother him

Only by becoming the king of a nation can one be considered a master

Liszt said no more. The two teachers were unaware of his true intentions. His body had not yet fully recovered. According to his nature, he would certainly prefer to be completely healed before venturing outside. However, for the nobility, one either travels by carriage or rides a horse. Unfortunately, he had no carriage.

Marcus straightforwardly said: "I will inform your four vassal knights tonight to arrange the patrol route through Thorn Ridge, ensuring your safety"

The tulip family is no exception

There is always a way to cope, Teacher Marcus. After the knight class tomorrow, will you accompany me for a walk through Thorny Ridge? As the lord, I have yet to properly see what Flower Town is like

The chefs and servants of the court were appointed by the nobles of various minor lords. Lister's father, the Earl of Coral Island, had served as a groom for the new generation of the Sapphire Duke, responsible for feeding the Duke's beloved steed, a horse mixed with the bloodline of dragons

Once the process was concluded, Carter left with the servants, saying: "I will be just outside the door, my lord and gentlemen, please feel free to give any instructions."

As a personal servant, he felt that he had not earned the favor of the baron and was concerned about his job

The nobility only cares about how much tax they can collect and is utterly indifferent to the lives and deaths of the peasants

The Western-style dishes do not quite suit his taste, but he is completely incapable of cooking and cannot prepare the home-cooked meals he enjoys. Moreover, in this world, it is strictly forbidden for nobles to enter the kitchen or storerooms, places designated for servants; doing so would violate noble etiquette and would be a source of ridicule.

"My lord, when do you plan to retire for the night?" inquired the personal male servant as he entered.

It is very dim

Not being able to obtain it indicates that it is merely an illusion

Before Liszt, a faint mist arose, twisting and forming abstract characters. These characters resembled countless small snakes entwined together. This is the universal script of the Kingdom of Steel Ridge—Snake Script, whose origins are no longer traceable, as there is no tradition of recording history here

In a daze

Fortunately, here in Flower Town, I am the sole master, and I do not have to serve anyone. Levi's thought contentedly while eating a dinner that was somewhat lacking in flavor

Riding a horse, in my memory, is not an easy task, for there are no saddles or stirrups here—knights with fighting spirit can ride horses and any kind of mount without the aid of supportive equipment

Liszt turned to Marcus and said, "Will it be difficult to investigate the magical beasts in the area near Thorn Ridge and Flower Town? As the lord, I must take the frequent harassment of farmers by these magical beasts seriously."

Similarly, the Duke of Sapphire also served as a personal attendant to His Majesty the King of the Steel Ridge Kingdom, attending to his needs in matters of eating, drinking, and other personal affairs

After a moment of daze, he reached out his hand, intending to touch the smoke, but the smoke immediately vanished, reinforcing the notion that it was an illusion

"I apologize for the trouble, Mr. Carter," Liszt displayed a gentlemanly smile, influenced by his noble heritage in matters of etiquette, which he did not need to learn actively, but rather it flowed naturally from him.

It has caused trouble

Of course, this is my duty

Only self-production and self-marketing are possible. Without the help of spirits, it is a challenge for farmers to sustain themselves, let alone pay taxes to the rulers of Coral Island, the Tulip family

In both public and private matters, he is committed to the development of Xianhua Town

Liszt shook his head: "Last time I accidentally consumed a poisonous fruit, this time I will be more careful"
