Chapter 145 Just a thought
“Roman, Meryl.” Count Merlin Yujiuka hugged his son-in-law and daughter gently, “It’s been a hard journey.”
At this moment, he is no longer the majestic chief executive of the Council of Elders, but a kind old father.
“No, it’s not very hard.” Mrs. Meryl had tears in her eyes, but she smiled happily. “Father, your body is still so strong. It hasn’t changed much since we met at the Red Fort. This is great, great. ”
“What changes can I make?” Earl Merlin said with a smile, “Mercedes’ power is boiling in my body. Aging will only come to me on the day I return to the volcano and follow the late Grand Duke.”
Lord Merlin’s son, Viscount Major, also stepped forward and hugged his brother-in-law and sister one by one.
He often meets Baron Roman, but he has not seen Mrs. Meryl for more than a year: “Welcome home, Meryl.”
“I’m glad, brother,” Mrs. Meryl said with a tearful smile.
Kunna Shadowflame, wife of Viscount Major, also smiled and hugged Mrs. Meryl: “You have been worn out by the wind and frost all the way, but you must regain your energy quickly. Many noble ladies at the mouth of the Sancha River are missing you. Looking after you.”
“I miss them too, especially the time when Kunna you just got married and I wasn’t married yet… Time flies so fast, your and my children have grown up.”
“Yes, Mel has said Russell’s name at home, I don’t know how many times.” Kunna Shadowflame smiled and looked at Russell who was hugging Earl Merlin to say hello, and said softly, “He and Mel are standing together. Like a pair of brothers.”
I have to say.
With his outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament, Russell always attracts more attention.
“Little Will-o’-the-Wisp, you have grown up!” Earl Merlin had not seen Russell very often, but he had seen him often when he was a child.
When Earl Merlin went to the Red Keep to rule, Russell only visited his parents once, and they met at a dinner in the Red Keep.
Russell seemed to be twelve years old at that time, and his memories of the Red Castle and Earl Merlin gradually became blurred. It wasn’t until he saw Earl Merlin again tonight that Russell awakened the impression of his grandfather in his predecessor’s memory.
Serious and aloof.
So this made Russell a little restrained, and he was not as close and warm to Earl Merlin as his elder brother Roland.
Moreover, he was not very sociable in the first place, and he had a certain social anxiety, especially when it came to meeting relatives.
“Nice to meet you, grandpa.” Russell tried his best to make his smile more sincere.
But his sense of alienation was easily seen through by Earl Merlin. The graceful old Earl didn’t show anything, and just smiled gently: “Treat Bluebird Castle as your home, and live happily for a while.”
“OK.”
The greeting ended peacefully.
Earl Merlin began to caress Laura’s hair affectionately and said hello. Although Laura was not a little beauty, at least she was not ugly and quite cute. So Earl Merlin took Laura and talked for a long time.
“Uncle.”
“Okay, I must have a few drinks with my uncle tonight!”
“Definitely.” Russell replied with a smile.
Then he said hello to his aunt Kunna Shadowflame: “Auntie, you still look as good as ever.”
“My aunt is very happy to know that you are coming. People look better when they are happy.” Kunna said with a smile.
She was born into a noble family and was the aunt of the current Grand Duke. After marrying into the Yujiuhua family, she only gave birth to a son, Cousin Mel, and was unwilling to have any more children. Therefore, it is quite well maintained, and a forty-five-year-old still looks as graceful as a girl in her twenties.
Her smile was bright though.
But Russell could still sensitively detect from some micro-expressions that Aunt Kunna was not really happy about his family’s visit.
He could even vaguely feel that Aunt Kunna was slightly disgusted with his family.
And I am not sure whether my feelings are correct or wrong.
Fortunately, Aunt Kunna does not need him to socialize. That is a problem that the Baron and his wife need to worry about. He only needs to play happily with Cousin Mel.
Wait until the due etiquette process is completed.
Mel then put his arm around Russell’s shoulders, and they walked into the castle arm in arm: “Haha, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Have you exercised well in the territory? I think your physique is a bit weak. !”
“Hum, I’m still growing.” Russell smiled.
“So we should hurry up to practice fighting spirit and become a great knight as soon as possible, so that we will not be weak.” Mel joked.
Compared with Cousin Mel, Russell’s current strength is indeed a bit weak.
Mel was only three years older than him, but he had already been promoted to Grand Knight long ago and was just waiting to ride the dragon as a “virgin”. Despite the family’s massive investment in magical potions, it also proved that Mel’s own talent was considerable.
In other words, people like Cousin Mel and eldest brother Roland are the elites among the nobility.
Russell was just an accident.
……
The dinner at Blue Bird Castle was not very grand, mainly because no local nobles were invited to accompany them. There was only a large family sitting around a round table to enjoy dinner, but the dishes were served like an assembly line.
As Russell’s personal servant, he was needed to serve Russell’s meals at this time.
When the servant of Blue Bird Castle brought the dinner plate, he had to take it and place it in front of Russell so that Russell could take the meal at any time.
No chopsticks, just knives and forks.
Russell’s aristocratic manners are impeccable, he eats quickly and is very elegant at the same time, but he only eats magical food and has a limited taste for ordinary food – he has no love for most dishes in this world, so he only depends on who is nutritious. higher.
When encountering magical foods such as beast meat and magical potion porridge, treat them directly as magical potions.
“Russell, how far have you cultivated now?” Earl Merlin asked Russell curiously. His first impression of this handsome grandson was still very satisfactory, and he did not waste the good appearance genes of the Yujiuhua family.
Russell responded: “The main meridians of both arms have been opened, and now we are further digging the main meridians of the legs.”
“You only showed your fighting spirit during your coming-of-age ceremony, right?”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
“This training progress is good.” Earl Merlin said with satisfaction. “Talent in fighting qi training is important, but what is more important is perseverance. You can bloom your fighting qi before the coming-of-age ceremony, and you can also dig out the meridians of your arms in a short time. It shows that you have done it before.” A lot of effort.”
In more than four months, the meridians in both arms were dug out, and the speed of cultivation was no worse than that of some genius knights.
certainly.
Genius or not is not the criterion for judging whether a knight can succeed. The criterion is whether he can contract a fantasy beast and whether he can ride a dragon.
The training before contracting the magical beast and even riding the dragon are just preparations for meeting the extraordinary power.
Ordinary knights fantasize about contracted phantom beasts.
But the noble children thought wholeheartedly about riding the dragon!
