Going to the sea festival.

Not to mention that Liszt has forgotten.

The two most important festivals in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, one annual festival, one sea festival.

The annual festival is a custom of the mainland. Celebrating the beginning of the new year, the aristocrats and civilians of any country will celebrate the festival.

The sea festival is a unique festival of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. In order to celebrate the first sapphire family's trip to the sea - after the defeat of the Dragon Slayer, the Sapphire family had to migrate from the mainland to the islands to create their own country. In order to whitewash the background of failure, the day of the sea will be promoted as a great sailing day to pursue the dream.

Civilians may prefer the festival, which is the inheritance festival of countless generations. But the sea festival is a festival that the aristocrats of the archipelago must celebrate every year.

“Thanks to Sir Lyden for his hard work and passing the message.”

"This is what I should do, Baron."

"My grandmother and father, as well as my brother, sister, and my wife and Litton, are you still okay?"

"Everything is fine."

"That's good."

Talking to Leiden about the recent situation of Tulip Fort, Liszt inquired about the news that the tulip fleet has not returned yet, and I have already returned to the castle.

Leiden had not had lunch yet, so he immediately let the kitchen prepare lunch and entertain a group of people.

"The Baron, the town of flowers is ready to cut all the trees in the thorns of the thorns?" Leiden asked his doubts along the way, the logging team had cut a large open space these two days.

"There are plans to cut all the light and sever the habitat of Warcraft. But there is not enough manpower for the time being. You can only cut off the trees on both sides of the road, clear out the empty areas, and reduce the risk of invasion of Warcraft."

"This is a good way. The Warcraft in the forest is a horrible existence. The Warcraft on the wilderness is only a slightly stronger beast."

For a horseman with a horse, the open area will not be caught by Warcraft, even if magic can escape. And the running speed of the horse is super strong, and Warcraft may not be able to catch up. The Cavaliers can launch a charge in the open area, and the people and horses will display a variety of martial arts cheats.

Maintain the etiquette and courtesy between the nobility.

Leiden and others, left after lunch.

Liszt needs to make arrangements: "Mr. Carter, three days later, the tulip family will come to the castle to celebrate the sea festival with me. I am not very enthusiastic about this kind of noisy scene. Let's make arrangements."

"Master, please rest assured, when I was young, I participated in many times of the tulip for the sea festival. The scene of the Louis Housekeeper hosting the holiday banquet is deep in my mind. Now there are endless seafood in the castle, as well as Warcraft meat, except The drinks are a little bit worse and can be a perfect banquet."

"I remember that there was a winemaker in the new serf?"

"Yes, he is Frank Dregs, but he only makes fruit wine, he doesn't make white wine, red wine and beer, and we don't have hops."

Liszt frowned: "We have no beer with hops at all?"

"There are still half barrels in the cellar. This is the only thing you can enjoy with the old man. I am reluctant to take it out." Carter said with regret that in his mind, Liszt is already the most important position.

"Then don't take it." Liszt blinked.

Carter returned with a smile: "I think so too."

"Unfortunately, when Leyden left, he forgot to let him pass a few words to Levi's, let Levi's help me to purchase a batch of drinks and ingredients... So in the final analysis, it is still caused by poor roads, otherwise the gold coins in the castle should be spent. Instead of keeping it moldy."

"Maybe you can tell Mr. Marcus to send a letter?"

"No, Marcus teacher has more important things, the logging team needs his care, the knight team wants him to train. The cold weather is so bitter, let the father look at the barrenness of the flower town, I think it is not a bad thing. "The child who will cry has milk to eat."

The count saw that there was no beer in the town of flowers and hops. Isn’t the conscience not hurting?

Carter smiled and said: "Master, you are more and more free and easy."

Liszt smiled slightly: "I recently read a knight novel with a small poem. If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't worry! You need to be calm in a sad day. Believe, happy days will come. The heart always looks forward to the future; now it is often melancholy..."

Everything is instantaneous and everything will pass.

And the past, it will become a cordial nostalgia.

The count does not pay attention to the three sons Liszt. This is not a big deal, so although life is sometimes very shabby and embarrassing, Liszt is still optimistic. Compared with most civilians and small nobles, the life of the flower town has already It is perfect.

Eating white bread every day is an ideal that many people can't hope for.

......

In the next few days, the town was still in full swing, repairing roads, logging, and building houses. The serfs took the copper plates paid by Liszt, and they were very energetic, and even the hot weather could not stop their enthusiasm.

The castle was as hot as it was, and the Carter housekeeper was busy commanding the servants to clean up inside and out and decorate the castle. The cooker Abi soup spoon, drumming his own big door all day, will turn Eileen and Xiao Lili two kitchen maids, commanding the group, busy between various ingredients.

Marcus took the Cavaliers squad and guarded the logging team while practicing the basic course of vindictiveness.

Gao Ertai, Isaiah, and Blair are also working hard.

Liszt alone, some troubles - he can't find the ultra-small saltpeter mine!

The mission has been completed, but the salt mines rewarded by the mission have not been discovered. No one reported to him that an unusual stone was found in a certain place, and there was no abnormal situation worthy of his attention. For three days, there was no clue, which made Liszt very entangled.

Not to mention the value of the saltpeter mine.

In addition to bringing ice, he does not know what the saltpeter is for.

Rather, this situation is very pessimistic, and he is worried about whether the smoke mission is a problem. The previous mission rewards, basically no overnight, are the same day.

"Don't my gold finger be leaving me?" At night, lying on the bed, watching the task of mushrooms, still hanging, he was very worried.

Fortunately.

Worry only lasts until the fourth day.

On this day, after Gao Ertai took the logging team into the work of Jingxu Ridge, there was a team to follow. They were the gravel transport team, responsible for breaking the stones in the thorns and then carrying them to the roads for paving.

Just as they kept looking for stones and smashed, they suddenly found a pile of rock piles embedded in the ground, accompanied by a large amount of white crystalline material. They thought at first that it was salt, and salt was very important in daily life, so the serfs were very happy - to get good things, the Lord of the Lord would reward them.

But after a simple tasting, I found this white substance, not a little salty, on the contrary, a bit bitter.

Despite this, they scraped a lot of white matter and handed it to Galthai for argumentation. Gao Ertai could not tell, and he told Liszt about the situation.

Liszt looked at the white crystalline powder in his hand. To be honest, he didn't know if it was a saltpeter, but I knew it by experiment.
