Chapter 30 (1/2)

History did not exist. Social development could only be inferred with the knights’ novels.

That was Liszt’s understanding.

He also did not know the origin of human beings in this world.

He did know that Archduchy Sapphire had been established 150 years ago. A splendid festival was held last year and left a deep impression on Liszt.

There were many novels about the Sapphires. According to some of them, the family could be dated back to a thousand years ago.

As for the Tulips, due to the lack of pedigree, Liszt could only remember his great-great-great-grandfather, when the family did not have any tulip elves yet.

Their original surname was Tiles, which indicated that they were commoners in the beginning. According to the family record, his great-great-great-grandfather was knighted for his contributions to the Sapphires’ conquests.

Since then, the family became noble.

His great-great-grandfather became a baron, his great-grandfather became a viscount, and his grandfather acquired a tulip little elf.

After Leewilliam assumed the title, the little elf evolved into a big elf, and the family name was changed into Tulip. A few years later, Leewilliam was proclaimed Earl of Coral Island for his wartime contributions.

In honor of Leewilliam’s achievement, the L in Leewilliam became the start of his offspring’s names.

His mother’s family also had the tradition. Their letter was M.

So, the Tulips only had a history of six generations and a time span of 150 years.

He could not trace his ancestors back any further.

Only six generations of an earl’s family can be recorded. This is truly a barbaric age. Liszt scorned it. A civilization could not be inherited without history.

In his hometown, he had a pedigree that could be traced back to the Ming Dynasty1.

The bloodline of the family could be traced back to the Yellow Emperor1.

The novels that brag about the Sapphires are all bulls*it. Some say they originated from the south of the Iron Mountain Kingdom, some say they were immigrants from the High Furnace Castle, and some say they came from the distant Blue Dragon Empire…

He was of a mind to sort the basic history of this world, but it was not promising. The novel that went furthest back in history was The Silly Knight and the Red-Tailed Dragon.

The story in the novel took place in the Empire of Everlasting Radiance ten thousand years ago. However, Liszt had confirmed that the Empire of Everlasting Radiance couldn’t have been established more than three thousand years ago.

The Empire of Everlasting Radiance was also the country with the longest history on the continent.

Most countries were founded on their friendship with dragons and declined because of the death or departure of dragons. Some even perished after their dragons were butchered.

When the first Archduke Sapphire established the country, there was a dragon-slaying war.

The Sapphire Dragon was almost killed by the intruders from the Eagle Kingdom. During the escape, the blood of the dragon dyed a mountain blue and resulted in tremendous sapphires.

Although the dragon was not killed, Archduke Sapphire was heavily wounded and had to move his territory to the islands.

Of course, Liszt inferred the history on his own.

In the novels that adulated the Sapphires, the Sapphire Dragon bit the Iron Dragon of the Eagle Kingdom, whose blood created the mountain of minerals.
