Eric was busy cooking on the side, while brothers Russell and Roland were drinking red wine and talking about the war in the snowfield.
The little woman, Ba’er, clings to Roland’s side, picking up vegetables and pouring wine for Roland from time to time.
Hearing the excitement, Roland couldn’t help but patted the table: “I wish I could go to the battlefield in person and cut off the snow demon’s head!”
“Brother, aren’t you planning to contract a fantasy beast? Cousin Mel has already contracted a fantasy beast.” Russell asked.
“Alas.” Roland sighed, “Russell, do you think I really have no chance of getting Sir Ross’s approval?”
Russell raised his eyebrows.
It seems that the death of Archduke Kunstein really touched Roland a lot. In the past, Roland had always been full of confidence and regarded Lord Ross as his treasure, and would not reveal his pessimistic thoughts about riding a dragon at all.
Like Grand Duke Kunstan, he wanted to be recognized by the dragon as a “virgin”.
However, before the dragon could acknowledge it, Archduke Kunstan died.
If Grand Duke Kunstein had contracted the Phantom Beast first and became the Phantom Beast Knight, the outcome would never have been so hasty.
“Brother…” Russell thought for a while, and seeing that Eric was full, he said, “Teacher Eric, you go for a walk first, and I will talk to you about some personal matters… And this lady, you Let’s go down first.”
After sending everyone away, he said to Roland: “Brother, my father, I, and Uncle Rosen all guessed that Sir Ross might have been frightened out of his courage by the Snow Giant Da. During the Battle of the Second Fall, Lord Ross obviously did not Follow the order, harass the Snow Giant Da, and support the Shadow Flame Dragon.”
“Ah!” Roland’s eyes widened.
Russell continued: “So, if you want to get Mr. Ross’s approval, maybe you should start by untangling Mr. Ross’s heart.”
“Really? Is that really the case?” Roland couldn’t sit still. He stood up and paced back and forth, and sat down again after a while.
Then he solemnly thanked Russell: “Thank you, brother. If my eldest brother succeeds in riding the dragon, I will never forget your words today.”
“There is no need to be polite between brothers.” Russell smiled.
Perhaps this cheap brother has some evil intentions and is selfish, but Russell still hopes that he can succeed in riding the dragon and revitalize the fluorescent mushroom family.
After all, we are all brothers.
……
Two days later.
Russell returned to the familiar Netherworld Valley. He was a great knight before setting off, and he was already a knight of fantasy beasts when he returned.
At the night banquet at the Fluorescent Castle, Mrs. Ingrid, her mother Mrs. Meryl, her sister Laura, and her uncle Rosen’s family were all present.
“The dragon is watching. Your father wrote to say that the dragon really looked at you. Russell, I am so proud of you.” Mrs. Meryl was full of joy for her son’s safe return. As for being promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight, that was secondary. .
Russell smiled calmly and said: “I have contributed to the Shadow Flame Dragon, so it will naturally look up to me.”
“What an outstanding little will-o’-the-wisp of our will-o’-the-wisp family!” Mrs. Ingrid was equally proud.
Uncle Rosen said: “I also contributed to the Shadow Flame Dragon, but why doesn’t the Shadow Flame Dragon want to look at me?”
“Perhaps you secretly exerted your strength where the dragon couldn’t see it. With so many knights, how could the dragon see them?” Mrs. Ingrid joked, “Only newcomers like Russell can attract the dragon’s attention.”
Mrs. Meryl smiled and said: “Maybe it’s because Russell is so handsome that he gets extra attention from the dragon.”
“I agree with this,” Rosen said. “My eldest brother always said that the way to survive in our fluorescent mushroom family is to be low-key, and I deeply agree with this. Russell obviously did not inherit this, and he was not low-key enough in his work.”
Russell smiled: “I’m learning.”
“This is very difficult. Your fantasy beast is too cool. Everyone is riding a black horse and you are riding a white horse. You can’t keep a low profile even if you want to.” Rosen said. Like all knights, he was heartbroken when he saw Russell’s unicorn. Envy.
If the Nightmare Horse was the favorite among the knights before, now the unicorn has become the envy of everyone.
It’s a pity that there is only one unicorn in the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
After having a cup of milk tea after the meal, Uncle Rosen and his family took Mrs. Ingrid and left the Fluorescent Castle under the moonlight.
Russell stayed in the Fluorescent Castle.
“Your father has become the finance minister, and your eldest brother wants to go over and help him. Now the Fluorescent Castle has become deserted again.” Mrs. Meryl entered Russell’s room and muttered to her son, “After you return to the territory, you should always Come see me and your sister.”
“I will, mother.”
“You have grown up.” Mrs. Meryl sighed, “I am really afraid that one day you will follow the new Grand Duke and leave me.”
“Mother, there is no new Grand Duke, at least there won’t be a new Grand Duke in a short time.” Russell comforted his mother, “And I assure you, whether I continue to be a Lord in the Netherworld Valley or have other development, I will not will leave you.”
“Silly boy, mother doesn’t want your guarantee. You have your own future to go. How can I tie you to my side?”
“I told the truth.”
After thinking about it, Russell simply took out a dragon egg the size of a glass marble from his pocket: “Look.”
Mrs. Meryl asked, “What is this?”
“It’s a dragon egg, a wyvern egg.”
“ah?”
“There’s no need to be surprised, mother. Didn’t I tell you that the Shadow Flame Dragon looked up at me, so this dragon egg is the meeting gift given to me by the Shadow Flame Dragon.” Russell explained with a smile, “Wait until I cultivate it. Once mature, plant it near the Youguang River Valley to create a new warm enclave.”
Russell already had plans.
He plans to open up his own warm enclave on the west side of the Crooked Blade Mountain.
Firstly, it can facilitate communication with the Youguang River Valley, and secondly, it is far away from the volcanic oasis – neither he nor Xiao Menglong, even if they are protected by the Shadow Flame Dragon, are still unwilling to get too close to the Shadow Flame Dragon.
There is also a third point. This is the southernmost point of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy. Russell can explore further south, hunt snow demons, and raise small dream dragons.
Being too close to the volcanic oasis, it’s not easy to find the Snow Demon.
“Is this true?” Mrs. Meryl was shocked. “Russell, are you kidding me? Is this really a dragon egg given to you by the Shadow Flame Dragon?”
“It’s true.” Russell nodded.
He did not regret confessing to his mother. Not only that, he would also confess to Baron Roman after meeting him.
Except for little Menglong’s secret, there is nothing he cannot tell his parents frankly.
Even if the black oil dragon egg is announced to the public now, it is no big deal. After all, it is a gift from the Shadow Flame Dragon, and no one dares to covet it.
It’s just that Russell didn’t want to cause trouble before the Black Oil Dragon was conceived.
After all, the way to survive for the Fluorescent Mushroom family is to keep a low profile, so before riding the dragon, he chose to keep a low profile.
“The Shadow Flame Dragon bled too much on the battlefield. Although it has recovered the essence, there is still a lot of dragon blood that cannot be recovered, so it chose to gather this part of the dragon’s blood, brew a dragon egg, and give it to me.”
“The dragon is watching, and the light is blessing you!” Mrs. Meryl immediately prayed to the sky, “This is really…it is really a great happy event!”
“You know, just know it in your mind. It’s best to keep this secret before it becomes a foregone conclusion.”
“I understand, I understand.” Mrs. Meryl’s eyes were filled with relief, “This is the way for the family to survive.”
