Chapter 0008: The Earth Knight, Lister

Teacher Marcus possesses the wind attribute and practices the "Counterwind Break" technique, which is also not aligned with my attribute. I recall that during my time at the Knight Academy, I came across a book titled "Flame Wave"... In a few days, I will arrange for Teacher Marcus to return to Coral City to fetch it for me

In fact, Liszt is not in a hurry to enhance his strength. Indeed, the nobility must go to battle, but Coral Island is far from the mainland, and conflicts are rare. As the third son of an earl, the nobles on Coral Island would not be foolish enough to seek trouble with him, allowing him to develop in peace

Currently, it is not suitable for Liszt to practice "Thousand Layers of Waves"; forcing the training will yield half the results with double the effort

Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Gao Ertai

Will it be very troublesome

Your ability to think in this manner demonstrates your excellence as well. Historically, great figures have not always excelled in their youth; the knight's creed is to strive for improvement and to pursue progress relentlessly. In you, I see such qualities.

It seems that during the transformation within the cells, when the new fighting spirit returns to the meridians, it has already undergone a complete change

"Indeed, it seems that the climate this year is not very good, and the peanut harvest in Huashengtun is likely to be a total loss. I sent someone to check, and the peanut fields are largely withered and yellow. In a few days, they will probably perish... Poor serfs, winter has not yet arrived, and they will have to suffer from hunger." While expressing pity, Gaotai showed no trace of sympathy on his face.

The personal male servant jogged over, seeking tasks to attend to: "My lord, you have just finished your knightly training. Do you need me to prepare bathwater for you again?"

However, he did not take any action; whether to drink the wine or not must be decided by the owner of the castle

When Liszt left the Tulip Castle, he brought out a box

Put down the wine glass

Fire attribute fighting energy is certainly more suitable for cultivating fire attribute secret techniques

Of course, today is a day of great joy, as the master has been promoted to the rank of Earth Knight

In this recent period, it is necessary to nurture and stabilize the intermediate fighting energy, and there is no need to rush into practicing the secret techniques

Compared to my older brother and sister, my aptitude is not outstanding; I can only make up for it by practicing more diligently

There is also gold represented by the dragon and wood represented by the elf, both embodying the nature of magical powers

Alright, prepare the bathwater once again

Water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness

The newly emerged Dou Qi has already become intermediate Dou Qi, possessing unique attributes. Lister stands quietly in the small garden, motionless. His mood is as if flowers are blooming in full glory, and he strives to suppress his excitement to experience the newly born intermediate Dou Qi—the task is real, and it has already brought him the sublimation of Dou Qi.

The junior cultivator achieves twice the result with half the effort

It feels as if a tumultuous storm is raging within the body, with boiling power surging through every limb and bone. The originally calm and balanced primary fighting energy has now completely surged into the cells.

As you wish, my lord. Carter turned and left, heading downstairs to the wine cellar

Dinner

My fighting attribute is fire, which somewhat conflicts with the water attribute of "Thousand Layers of Waves". It seems I need to prepare a new intermediate fighting technique manual... I originally thought I would awaken the water attribute fighting energy like the Count's family. "Lister is not very satisfied with the fire attribute.

Of course not, it is our honor to serve you

Of course, being promoted to a Knight of the Earth is still an exhilarating matter. It means that I am basically less prone to illness, and my resistance to severe cold and scorching heat has greatly increased! In this world, what could be more fortunate than being healthy and living a long life?

Liszt's excited emotions had begun to settle as he turned and walked towards the castle

This is a common ailment among the nobility

Understood, Mrs. Abbi, praise the master

Abby Spoon is a plump woman, and upon hearing this, she exclaimed loudly: "Cream pudding? Oh my, the master is too generous, there is really no need to do this. The maid can eat anything, and besides, our cream supply is running low."

He has now truly become a knight of the earth

For the cultivation of fighting spirit, this is a new starting point; the Earth Knight truly represents extraordinary power

"Liszt, you look increasingly healthy; it seems you have fully recovered. This calls for a toast." Gaultier raised his wine glass and took several deep sniffs, for he was a man who cherished wine above all else

Old Carter smiled broadly: "I think so too, Mr. Gaotai."

Oh, my goodness, the master is truly magnificent!" Abi exclaimed loudly, then turned and shouted, "Eileen, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and finish mopping the floor, then go to the storage room and bring over the cream. Today is a joyous occasion for the master, and you will get to eat the pudding that is only served on festive days. So, get your spirits up and get to work!

... ...

Gao Ertai exclaimed directly: "Wow, this is truly a tremendous piece of good news. No wonder when I went out today, the magpies were flitting about the town, chirping away. Liszt, you truly are the offspring of the Count, having inherited the noble lineage of the Tulip family. You will undoubtedly wield power!"

Therefore, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and he also occasionally drinks some alcohol

New Moon Wine

Exhale a long breath of stale air

A bottle of new moon wine, aged for many years, seems to float in from the depths of a time tunnel, telling you in silence what true beauty is and what enduring flavor means. Gao Ertai swirled the crystal goblet, watching the bright red liquid rise and fall along the crystal walls, expressing himself like a poet

Congratulations, my lord! Marcus said solemnly, his tone slightly altered; he originally intended to address him as "Baron," but now he directly calls him my lord, which is a positive change

"Just an hour ago, I felt something and made new progress in my combat training," Liszt said modestly, after all, it is not something to be proud of to have only broken through to the Earth Knight after the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen

The nature does not distinguish between high and low; it is merely an attribute of power. However, the Tulip family has been researching water attribute fighting energy since before they obtained their countship. Their family heirloom, "Thousand Layer Waves," is also a top-tier water attribute fighting energy manual, which contains a wealth of insights and experiences in cultivation.

... ...

Liszt did not dampen the mood, nodding and saying: "Mr. Carter, please bring out a bottle of Crescent wine, and also prepare a serving of pudding for each gentleman and lady."

In any case, it is difficult to get drunk without high-proof distilled spirits

The kitchen maid Erin was mopping the floor and looked up with anticipation: "Mr. Carter, may the kitchen maid also have an extra serving of pudding?"

Moreover, even if one's cultivation is immensely powerful, a hundred years later, it will merely be a handful of yellow earth

To be honest, he does not find wine particularly enjoyable; he does not like any alcoholic beverages and only enjoys eating fermented rice. His body has inherited certain qualities from his predecessor, granting him a certain ability to appreciate different types of alcoholic drinks, and he is quite adaptable to various flavors of beverages

Marcus and Gaultier arrived as scheduled

Passing by the kitchen door, he said: "Madam Abbie, the master has graciously granted each person an additional serving of pudding at dinner."

In the Tulip Fortress, there is a grape sprite, among the grapes planted, there is a variety specifically used for winemaking. Although it tastes somewhat inferior when eaten, the wine produced from these grapes is sweet and crisp, making it a fine wine renowned in the Sapphire Duchy, with the court coming to purchase a batch every year

To be a lord in peace and stability, enjoying the service of servants is truly delightful; matters of fighting and killing can be entrusted to subordinates.

By the way, Teacher Gaotai, is there a problem with the peanuts from Huashengtun? He suddenly remembered his new task. The rivalry had already reached a new level, and he was very eager for the new rewards

The specialty of Coral Island is the harvesting of grapes for winemaking during the first new moon of each autumn.

Marcus's eyes flickered: "My lord Baron, have you... broken through?"

Therefore, we must celebrate well tonight and have a few more drinks. Gao Ertai chuckled and turned to Butler Carter, saying, "Mr. Carter, in order to celebrate Liszt's advancement to the rank of Knight of the Earth, shouldn't you bring out the fine wines from the castle's wine cellar to commemorate this glorious moment"

Liszt took a small sip

Liszt unequivocally stated: "Tomorrow, accompany me to conduct an on-site investigation in Peanut Village to study solutions for the Peanut Village crisis"
