Chapter 0544 New Glory of the Family (Fourth Update, Extra Chapter for 800 Monthly Tickets)

"How could that be possible, finding an elf in the sea, and not just any elf but a Greater Elf leading a group of Little Minor Elves, it's impossible!" Levis shook his head, still finding it hard to believe.

The messenger Marcus had already left, but the impact of his message had yet to settle.

Loria, whose pregnancy was beginning to show, was busy with the account books.

She had taken on the role of managing the couple's affairs: "Of course there can be elves in the sea. My father once found two Alisma Elf Bugs in a river. If there can be elves in a river, there must surely be elves in the sea too, it's just that I have no idea how Liszt managed to dive into the sea and find them."

"But that's a Greater Elf, my dear, isn't that astonishing to you?"

"What is there for me to be astonished about? The Golden Wheat Sheaf Family has two Greater Elves, the Golden Grain Family also has one, and among my father's followers, several Earls each have their own Greater Elf. Liszt is already the youngest Sky Knight in the country, isn't it fitting for him to own a Greater Elf?"

Loria's expression suggested it was simply to be expected.

Levis opened his mouth, almost choking: "Almost all Greater Elves are cultivated from home-raised Little Minor Elves, but Liszt's Giant Algae Greater Elf is wild, such luck is truly enviable."

"He is the Son of Glory."

"Of course, I know he is favored by the Knight's Glory, it's just that, deep down, I feel a bit unsettled."

Loria looked up at him: "Levis, I know you've been the prodigy of Coral Island since childhood, while Liszt's talents weren't apparent when he was young, which has thrown you off balance. But you need to accept the reality, he is a Sky Knight, even my father praised his bright future in the letter, and now our own business is provided by Liszt, you should learn to be grateful."

"Loria, don't get it wrong, it was we who provided him the channel!"

"If Liszt were just an ordinary Noble's second son, as a channel supplier, of course we should earn more profit," Loria said, her tone even but in command of the conversation, "but he is not an ordinary second son, he is a Sky Knight, a future Nobles, my father even thinks he might surpass my own father's achievements."

"That... seems unlikely, my father is a strong contender for the title of Marquis."

"I cannot say for sure about the future, but my father's judgment is not poor, Liszt's talents shine so brightly that even the serfs in the countryside of Coral Island are illuminated by them, we cannot ignore it. Regardless of whether he had contracted with a Greater Elf, I was planning to suggest to you to renegotiate business shares with Liszt, we can no longer take the lion's share, we need at least an equal split."

Levis said nothing.

He was reluctant to give up his share of the business profits.

Loria spoke indifferently: "Levis, the Tulip Family will ultimately be yours to inherit, but for now, what you need to do is train hard and break through as a Sky Knight. Only by doing this can we gain the upper hand in our contest with Lady Marie, and prevent resources from flowing towards Lidun."

"Without sufficient resources, how am I supposed to break through quickly?"

"It is precisely because we lack resources that we must compete with Lady Marie for them, to curb Lidun... Liszt is your own younger brother, someone you can rely on, but we cannot let Lidun become another Liszt."

Having said her piece, Loria lowered her head again and continued with the accounts.

Levis looked at his wife and suddenly felt a bit cold, but he quickly shook off the feeling and said, "You needn't worry about Lidun, Liszt may be the Son of Glory, but he is not. His talent is indeed good; he became an Earth Knight at thirteen, but I was also an Earth Knight at thirteen, it's not much pressure."

"Hmm, I'll handle the gifts and business affairs, you focus on your training."

...

Next to Coral City, in a small castle.

Lady Penelope was busily choosing potted plants, occasionally discussing with Li Vera behind her: "What do you think of this azalea? Does it look like it's about to nurture an Elf Bug?"

"I can't tell."

```

"Of course you can't see it, you don't have the glory of a knight to favor you, can't even find a suitable mate, so naturally you won't find an Elf Bug."

"Grandmother, how can you say that about me!"

"Miss, hurry up and marry off to a noble knight, then I will treat you with courtesy."

"Weren't you always worried about arranging Liszt's marriage before, why have you suddenly turned your attention to me?" Li Vera said with a look of annoyance.

"In the past, Liszt was a young man with potential who needed his grandmother to worry for him. But now he is a rising star of the nobility in the Grand Duchy, naturally nobles are knocking at his door seeking to be united in marriage. Those noble ladies will compete to become his wife, no longer needing the effort to search."

Li Vera said, "But I see that Liszt has no intention of looking for a wife."

"He's not in a hurry because he's still young; he is focused on his career and cultivation. As a noble with exceptional talent and diligent efforts like him, there will always be suitors. I believe on your father's side, there are already many nobles communicating with him, discussing their children's matters."

"That is true… Now Liszt has contracted with a Greater Elf, one capable of growing Magic Potions, oh heavens, I can imagine how many noble ladies view him as a knight in shining armor… Perhaps the Grand Duke even regrets not having a third daughter."

"You shouldn't make light of the Grand Duke."

"Isn't it just you and me here?"

"You should know that the Grand Duke may send someone at any time to evaluate Liszt. Such a promising young man should choose to be loyal to the Grand Duke rather than follow your father. Possessing a Greater Elf and being the youngest Sky Knight, he has enough to start a new family, bringing branches and leaves to the Tulip Family."

Lady Penelope said this, pointing to a pot of sunflowers and speaking to the servant, "Move this pot to the place with the best sunlight; it will be my gift to Liszt, perhaps an Elf Bug is being nurtured within it."

Li Vera rolled her eyes, "I see no sign of it nurturing any Elf Bugs."

"You can't, but Liszt can… Perhaps I should let him choose one himself, never mind, he can take away my potted plants whenever he wishes in the future."

"You're too partial."

"If you could bring growth to the family, I would be partial to you too." Lady Penelope said and suddenly became contemplative, "If your grandfather were still alive, he would be very gratified. A son who brings glory to the family with the Tulip name, and a grandson about to start a new family, what a glory!"

…

Liszt was unaware of others discussing him behind his back.

Of course, even if he didn't know, he could guess the impact he had on others. A Greater Elf, just like that, casually contracted.

Anyone would be envious, amazed, and bewildered.

However, with his Dragon Dou Qi continuously improving and the supply of Giant Algae Magic Potion flowing endlessly, both he and the Little Fire Dragon's strength were skyrocketing, he didn't care how others saw him.

"I will stand at the top, overlook all the other mountains."

It was probably this feeling.

He rode the Rainbow Whale Rose, traveling repeatedly over the sea, directing his underlings, organizing serfs to harvest Giant Algae, and burying the mature parts of the Magic Medicine Kelp in the sea area after harvest—for experimental planting.

He was busy until April 13th.

Only then did he completely plan out this sea area, and on the sandy beach shore, he decided to build the ninth town after Port Town, New Harbor Town, Thorn Town, Horse Ranching Town, Green Tea Town, Grain Town, Red River Town, and Mushroom Town—the Giant Algae Town, which will devote its efforts to managing the Giant Algae industry and its associated fishing industry.

It was at this time that calling upon the Smoke Mission finally led to a change.
