The Defeated Dragon

“So the ten years and a hundred years of aging are just lies?”

“It’s not lies, it’s just publicity.”

“But the fresh flower brew is just freshly brewed white wine and has never been aged.”

“What do you think is the difference between the taste of fresh flower brew and that of gin? Since there is not much difference between the two, why can’t  gin be called a cellar-aged wine? “contemporary romance

“Because it actually is aged wine that has been stored for many years.”

“Er …” Liszt suddenly felt that Levis was actually naive. “The quality of gin is formed by cellar aging, but since the quality of flower wine is not inferior to it, it can also be called cellar-aged wine. There is no conflict. Moreover, our position is very clear. The three grades clearly distinguish the difference in status, and they can also strengthen nobles at all levels. “

“Do you really think this is better?”

“Of course, no one knows how we brew it. If we say it is 100 years old then it is 100 years old!”

“Wooden bottles and pottery bottles are very simple, but don’t you think jade bottles are too expensive?”

“You can make less bottles of high level fresh flower wine and sell it in a way that translates the value of the bottle into it, or you can wrap it in a crystal bottle, which will indicate the grade of fresh flower wine. Or you can carve a bottle from precious stones and let father give it to the grand duke for publicity. “

“To the Grand Duke?”

“Of course, let the Grand Duke drink fresh flower wine. If he does it, which nobles would refuse to drink fresh flower wine?”

“The Grand Duke has a liquor industry under his command. He does not need to pay tribute to our liquor.”

“Let Father ask him to taste it. As long as the fresh flower brew is not sold in Blue Dragon Island and does not threaten the Grand Duke’s liquor industry, won’t he give father any face?”

As blade master who founded his own Count family, Leewilliam Tulip is definitely a high-level figure in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. The Grand Duchy will certainly draw in such upstarts to check and balance the old Marquis Family. As long as Leewilliam and the Grand Duke have a clear understanding of the sales scope of the fresh flower wine, there will be no conflict.

But if the Grand Duke turns out to be greedy, he will not want the Tulip family to enter the liquor market of Sapphire Grand Duchy at all.

It was not a big deal to sell flower wine to the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom or even to the Eagle Kingdom. Smuggling liquor is also one of the businesses of many fleet caravans.

The only difference is whether they could be selling more and selling less.

Levis was still thinking.

Frank, the tutor, warned, “Whether the Duke Tribute plan is successful or not, we will not lose our interests Levis. It might  cost us a little to follow Liszt’s advice, but if it fails, it is still acceptable to return to the original way of how gin is sold.”

“In that case, we’ll try it.”

As for the flower brewing business, Liszt and Levis have discussed everything clearly so far. The rest would now be up to their subordinates, how they would operate and manage them.

The Lord does not have to deal with those matters personally.

“When I arrived, I heard that your Tremblingwoods  had offsprings and now has  eight small dogs?” Levis’s attention was quickly diverted. “Let me see this offspring of mid-level magical beasts!”

“I’m sorry, brother, they haven’t opened their eyes yet, so it’s not suitable for them see anyone for the time being.”

“Haven’t opened their eyes yet!” Levis exclaimed, “They haven’t opened their eyes? Liszt, we are brothers, are we not? I have never wronged you! “

Needless to say.

Liszt already understood Levi’s meaning and it was that he also wanted a little blizzard beast of his own. But Liszt would never give one away. Even if Levis paid for it, he would not sell it.

“Brother, although this is an offspring of a mid-level magical beast, their mother is  just an ordinary dog. Also, Tremblingwoods at that time has not  fully evolved yet, so this batch of puppies is very likely to be low-level magical beasts … I suggest you wait for the next batch of puppies to be born, I will definitely sell it to you. “

After several attempts of convincing, Levis was still dissatisfied with Liszt ’s firm attitude.

But he only has to endure until the next batch of puppies. “Then it’s a deal. The next batch of small dogs must be sold to me!”

“Whatever you say.” Liszt nodded and agreed.

But it could all be false.

Liszt might or might not be able to sell puppies at all. It is doubtful whether Stupidowman can become pregnant again. The higher the magical beast bloodline, the more difficult the fertility. The mid-level magical beast has grown up. After the bloodline has transformed, it was uncertain whether the mother-in-law will become pregnant again.

Perhaps these eight little Blizzard beasts will be the only descendants of Tremblingwoods, and the rest will just be regular dogs.

———

Lunchtime.

Levis was busy drinking the fresh flower brew.

He probably was not worried about the liquor business making money. He was too excited to get a Blizzard Beast. But thinking about it, Levis was not happy and so he drank too much; too drunk to tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

Levis began putting his arm around Liszt’s shoulder with his mouth smelling of alcohol. “Liszt, I’m beginning to be jealous of you … er … you’re out of Tulip castle, the knight’s glory is on your side, everyone starts to say that you are the son of glory … I’m in the castle, always bound to this kid Lipton, Lytton…”

Liszt felt helpless listening to his brother complain after drinking.

In order not to expose his family’s dirty linen in public, Liszt immediately made everyone leave the party.

The wine pumped up Levis’ windpipe. He continued ranting how the Lytton-centered the Count is, what resources of his were robbed, how the Sky Knight pressure is very big, how his luck is not as good as Liszt’s, his wolf dogs are pregnant, how his cousin had to abort the child for the sake …

And then.

Snapping under the pressure, Levis fell from the table.

Liszt called for a servant to help Levis to his carriage. Liszt was determined not to let his brother stay for the night in the castle. “Mr. Frank, take good care of Levis.”

“Please rest assured.”

At that moment, Captain Leiden, who was guarding Levis, came up, glanced at Randy standing under the apple tree and sighed, “Baron Liszt, keep Randy in Flower Town, please.”

Randy Kettle is Captain Leiden’s  illegitimate child. Even if he has been recognized by the Captain’s family, he still cannot give any more support.

“The Captain is not going to talk to Randy?”

“It’s not necessary.” Leiden continued to look at Kettle. “I will escort Sir Levis back to Tulip Castle. If I have the time, I hope to be a guest here in Flower Town.”

“You are welcome any time.”

Levis came to Flower Town full of excitement and went back drunk, which was a big benefit to him and Liszt.

While standing in front of the castle window.

Liszt drank the last cup of dragon milk.

The alcohol kick came and made him feel excited. “With the liquor business, Levis will probably be promoted to a Sky Knight level. As for me, I will definitely be promoted to the same level myself. When the time comes, there will be three Sky Knights  in the Tulip family. I am afraid the count will not be able to say anything more that will bar him from not being promoted to a Marquis. “

With the father and sons on the battlefield together, it will definitely be the end of the push.That is, as long as they don’t encounter a Dragon Knight.

He who has made outstanding achievements will be promoted to Marquis sooner or later.

“But being in the Marquis family is by no means my goal. It’s just a step I have to take on the dragon road journey. With my talent, and the wealth brought by the development of my territory, it is very likely for me to be promoted to the Sky Knight level before the age of 22. It will take another five to six years for an ordinary Sky Knight  to be successful and go look for clues about the dragons.”

He will find the dragon and ride it!

Then a small goal in his life will be accomplished..
