The Defeated Dragon

Didn't get any useful advice from Marquis Oxtail.

Liszt's father, whose vision has been restricted by the knight system, has formed and stabilized the Three Views, and cannot see anything that needs to be improved.

It is still the usual routine in the Legendary Continent where the king manages the king’s territory, the nobles control the noble’s territory, fight together when there is a battle, share the dirt together, and then go back to each house and find their own mothers. The king is not like a king, he is essentially just a big brother who takes the lead.

The advanced nature of this system is undoubtedly very poor, but it is also in line with the current productivity conditions.

When the Oxtail Marquis and his son left, Liszt leaned back in his chair, still thinking about this question. During the period when he just crossed over, he was ambitious and thought about changing the social system, changing feudal enfeoffment to centralized power, and all the power was concentrated in the hands of the king.

However, the reform of the system cannot be completed overnight.

If China did not have Qin Shihuang's ambitious hegemony of surviving the survivors of the sixth generation, vigorously pursuing strategies and controlling the inner world and killing countless people, it would also be difficult to achieve centralization. Moreover, in Liszt's current thinking, whether it is enfeoffment or centralization, it is a backward feudal system.

I really don't know whether it's more comfortable to enfeoff or centralize power. As a dragon-raising family at the top of the pyramid, or as a family with hydra-raising dragons, life will be comfortable no matter what.

A better system, the Democratic People's Republic of China and I will not play with it. I can't shake my power for nothing. I can't do this kind of fearless spirit. He shook his head silently. How can we let go of this taste and display our noble sentiments.

After a while, he made a decision.

There is no motivation for reform for the time being, so I will copy the system of the Iron Ridge Kingdom and continue to maintain the enfeoffment system... When the Flame Kingdom develops and grows, my personal strength will also reach its peak. At that time, if I want to centralize power, I can reform at will with the invincible momentum , I believe no one dares to stop me.

However, when he turned his eyes to the map of the Flame Islands on the table, he suddenly laughed again, feeling that he had been bothering others all the time.

The Flame Islands are about five million square kilometers, of which Fire Island occupies more than three million square kilometers, which means that even if he divides up the rest of the islands, his king's territory is still boundless. One-third of China's area is enough for the family to prosper for a long time.

Whether it's enfeoffment or centralization, that's all.

When the productivity of Flame Island flourishes under his development, even if Liszt does not take the initiative to reform the system,

Institutions also sprout on their own. Even if he continued to distribute the fiefs, those nobles who were confiscated might see the richness of Huo Huo Island, and they might be crying and begging to stay in Huo Huo Island as officials.

Moreover.

If one day he can contract the fairy dragon and live forever...

the next day.

On July 15, the funeral of the Marquis of Merlin was held in the light rain. There was no overly grand ceremony, and there was no noise of beating gongs and drums. It was just that many nobles rode in carriages and followed the knights guarding the coffin to the cemetery of the Changyu family.

The tomb has already been dug and the inscription has been erected.

This is a small square tombstone with the words Marquis of Red Crab Island-Melin Changyu, April 18, 71 Years of Glory, and July 3, 154 Years of Glory written in snake script. Glory is birth, and glory is death. The inscription is very simple, not even the name of the person who erected the inscription.

But there is a line of fine print below.

Give a cold glance to life, to death, and the knight rides by.

This is the epitaph that the Marquis of Merlin himself had thought about a long time ago. Before he was laid to rest, he ordered someone to engrave this tombstone and bury it above the graveyard where he was about to sleep.

Holding a tulip flower in his hand, Liszt stood in front of the tombstone and let the rain fall on Flacque Abie and wet his clothes. Thinking about the past of Marquis Merlin, even though he had passed away more than ten days ago, his mood was still depressed. If there are no accidents, he will wait until this day, turning into bones and loess as companions.

I used to think that I was not afraid of death, but now I am more eager to contract the fairy dragon.

Seeing the coffin of Marquis Merlin being buried in the soil, his desire became stronger and stronger. He never hoped to be buried in the soil one day.

The atmosphere in the entire cemetery was very quiet, all the nobles did not make a sound, but quietly meditated and prayed silently. After the servants in the cemetery filled the soil and placed pots of flowers, an elderly nobleman at the scene coughed softly. He was the distant cousin of the Marquis Merlin, Meme Changyu.

Although the title is just an ordinary baron, he was old enough to be invited by Messiro to be the funeral host.

After the elderly nobleman and everyone else paid attention to him, he said slowly: The Marquis of Red Crab Island, the pillar of the Changyu family, Merlin Changyu is buried here... the funeral has been completed, and all guests are invited to circle the cemetery one by one , with flowers and a final farewell to Merlin Changyu.

Flowers are a symbol of beauty. Many nobles use flowers as their surnames. Presenting flowers to the deceased is one of the few important links in funerals.

As the highest-ranking dragon knight and mage, Liszt and Ake stepped forward together, and gently placed the tulip flower in their hands in front of the tombstone.

The Messiro couple and the Mayopol couple stood beside the cemetery, with sad expressions on their faces, and bowed slightly to express their gratitude to the two. Liszt and Ake also bowed slightly in return, then walked around the cemetery and left the cemetery under the guidance of the servants.

Immediately after him, the noble guests laid flowers and left the cemetery.

Just like that, the funeral of Marquis Merlin was simply completed.

The light rain was still pattering.

Liszt refused the retinue knight's move to hold the umbrella for him, took the umbrella directly and held it up by himself, and walked slowly towards the Fort of Changyu along with Ake on the soaked bluestone slab. He didn't walk too fast, and Anthony and other nobles behind could only follow slowly.

No one rushed up to disturb, leaving enough room for Liszt and A Ke to chat.

There was a trace of melancholy on the handsome face of the dragon knight: If I can't get the contract method of the dragon domain lord, maybe in a few decades, I will be lying in the darkness of the soil like my grandfather.

Ah Ke wrinkled her small nose: But Ah Ke can live for many years.

Then live well and protect my family.

No, Ah Ke wants to be with my brother and doesn't want to be separated.

Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. People, there is always a moment of joy and sorrow, just like the moon in the sky is full of life. Liszt said with emotion, although he was determined to contract the fairy dragon, even if If you can't find a fairy dragon, you have to contract other dragons.

But who can guarantee that the contract will be successful, so many kings have died, and they have not seen a successful contract.

So far there are rumors in the Legendary Continent that the emperor of the Buluo Glory Empire has been in power for more than two hundred years, and it is obvious that he is a dragon domain lord.

However, it is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false. The Buluo Empire is so far away from the Grand Duchy of Sapphire that there is almost no intersection.

Of course, as long as there is a slight possibility, Liszt will fight for it.

The big deal is that when the time comes to ride an invisible dragon into the palace of the Buluo Glorious Empire, find the emperor to chat about the contract of the Dragon Lord.

All in all, who wants to die if they can live forever.

A Ke didn't know Liszt's thoughts, but she said seriously: Don't worry, brother, A Ke will study the contract method of the dragon domain lord, so that my brother can live for hundreds of years, until we don't want to live anymore until the time.

Liszt smiled: Okay, I'm looking forward to it!

I don’t know what epitaph you want to engrave on yourselves. After Lao Bai’s death, it will probably be engraved: This person will never be able to irrigate again...
