Chapter 266 Two Big Idiots
Russell originally thought that the establishment of the Senate had little to do with him except that Baron Roman served as finance minister.
But soon he received an edict from the Senate.
“I’m being ordered to go to the Elder Council of the Red Castle and serve as the Assistant to the Minister of Volcanoes?” Russell looked at the edict in the Red Castle and was confused. “I’m sorry, Captain Lucas, are you sure this is a formal edict issued by the Council of Elders?” Order?”
The leader of the edict mission is an acquaintance who came to reward Russell the Scholar before, Lucas, the Phantom Beast Knight.
To be precise, it was Lord Lucas. Not long ago, he was canonized as a Lord by the Senate due to his outstanding military exploits.
“Of course it’s an edict signed by the Senate. Doesn’t the edict have the signatures of Lord Merlin and Lord Mel?” Captain Lucas said with a smile.
Russell frowned: “But I am not a vassal of the Red Castle, I am a vassal of my father.”
“Don’t worry, Sir Russell. Baron Roman has a message and asked me to bring it to you.” Captain Lucas said, “Baron Roman asked me to tell you that this resolution was proposed by Sir Mel and was discussed and approved by the Council of Elders. The reason is It’s the Shadow Flame Dragon that favors you.”
Then, Lucas told some gossip: “It is said that Lord Quintkai, the minister of the volcano, was old and frail and ready to retire, so he recommended several successors to the Shadow Flame Dragon, but the Shadow Flame Dragon didn’t satisfy.”
“Then what.”
“Then someone told Lord Quintekai that you had been watched by the Shadow Flame Dragon after the war, so Lord Quintekai reported your name. Who knew that the Shadowflame Dragon really recognized you, so , there is your appointment.”
“How to solve the legal problem?” Russell actually didn’t want to go. Being the assistant to the Minister of Volcanoes meant that he would have to hang around under the eyes of the Shadow Flame Dragon every day.
How could he be as comfortable as the Black-waisted Snake Manor? The sky was high and the emperor was far away… Besides, the lord was still his father.
Captain Lucas smiled bitterly: “Are legal principles important? We have even implemented the son selection system, so why do you care about the legal principles? No matter how inconsistent the legal principles are, how can it be more serious than when Marquis Arnaud serves as the senatorial consul?”
“Yes.” Russell nodded.
After thinking for a while, he replied: “Okay, I will leave as soon as possible and go to the Red Fort.”
No matter what, he had to go to the Red Keep to ask his father and grandfather in person. Maybe, he even wanted to talk to the Shadowflame Dragon.
He was working hard to kill snow ghosts and raise dragon eggs on the border, so why should he be transferred to the Red Keep?
Are there snow ghosts around Shadow Flame Volcano that I can hunt? …
Because the edict mission still had a mission to go to the mouth of the Sancha River to announce it, Russell had to go alone to the Red Fort.
“Eric, you don’t need to accompany us this time. You stay in the territory to guard the territory, and the knights also stay to prevent snow ghosts from invading the territory.”
“No.” Eric responded in a muffled voice.
But Charles said: “My lord, the journey is difficult, and you will always need someone to take care of you. It’s better to bring the knight’s retinue with you.”
Russell glanced at Grove, who was lying flat, and said, “Let Grove follow me.”
In the past few days, Charles has asked someone to bring several ladies to have a blind date with Grove, but none of them was enthusiastic.
So Russell simply took Grove out for a walk to see if he could meet love on the road.
Regarding Russell’s decision, Grove responded calmly: “No.”
“Eric, Charles, I still have a task for you.” Russell added, “The selection of children should begin. Children with good health should be selected. Don’t be stingy with the chicken, fish, meat and eggs you should have, and strive to get them as soon as possible.” Raised several knights.”
“Yes, sir!”
“promise.”
The next day, Russell rode on the unicorn Pauly, took the great knight Grove, went straight to the cigar factory, and carried several boxes of cigars on horseback.
Then I went to the Fluorescent Castle to have a few words with my mother.
“I already know the edict. Since your father and your grandfather agree, I won’t say anything more.” Mrs. Meryl said, “But you must be careful on the road. It is the ice age now and the trade roads are not safe.”
“Don’t worry, mother, I’m already a Phantom Beast Knight.” Russell smiled and took out a strange stone from his arms.
Putting the stone in Mrs. Meryl’s hand, Russell said: “This is the Snow Demon Crystal. I took it out of Lord Medikalen’s body. It was of no use, but it was very commemorative. It’s your birthday soon, mother. I can’t make it back to celebrate with you, so I’ll give you this gift in advance.”
“Then I’m leaving.”
“Don’t worry, there is one thing you must not forget. After you have been to the Red Castle, you just happened to take a trip to Black Court Mountain.” Mrs. Meryl said, “I calculated the time, your sister’s due date is coming soon, you and Roland had better go and see her.”
“Don’t worry, mother, I will always remember this.”
“You are a good boy, I know that.” Mrs. Meryl smiled and waved goodbye to her son.
Eat in the wind and stay in the snow.
It was indeed difficult to travel along the mountain and river trade routes during the Ice Age. Snowstorms swept through almost all day long, and even the cold springs along the way were almost frozen.
However, the life at night is very lively. Although most of the snow demons may have been wiped out with the Second Fall, and the new snow demons on the snowfield have not yet been replenished, there are indeed many snow demons, springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Little Menglong had a great time eating for two nights in a row, killing at least one hundred and fifty snow ghosts one after another.
But after entering the volcanic oasis, there was nothing to eat.
On this day, Russell and Grove were riding on the road. Suddenly, a strange murmur that had not been heard for several days sounded in Russell’s ears.
“Honey, honey is so delicious, who can help me get honey… Such a large piece of honey, I can’t eat it, wuwuwu, I’m so miserable, why can’t I fly… I If only it were a bird.”
“Um?”
Russell motioned for Paulie to stop.
Grove also stopped: “Sir, what’s wrong?”
“I smell the fragrance of honey, Grover, let’s look on both sides of the road to see if we can find honey!” Russell said.
Grove didn’t know why: “Sir, there is a market town ahead, you should be able to buy honey.”
“I want to eat wild food, don’t ask too many questions, just follow me.”
“promise.”
Unfortunately, Russell searched the woods on both sides of the road, but did not find any honey. Naturally, he could not find the phantom beast that wanted to eat the honey.
Just when he thought maybe Lucky Whisper wasn’t so lucky.
A weird murmur sounded in my ears again: “If I climb the tallest tree in the forest and jump down, can I hit the beehive? Hehe, I think I can give it a try… Honey, honey, here I come. Yo!”
Russell’s eyes lit up.
Then he signaled Baoli to take off, overlooking the surrounding forest, and soon found several towering trees.
The forest was so dense and thick that it was hard to tell which tree was the tallest.
But there was no need to tell. Russell had already seen a gray-yellow brown bear clumsily climbing the tree on one of the fir trees. When halfway up the climb, the brown bear suddenly stopped and did not dare to continue climbing.
At the same time, the weird murmur was triggered again: “I’m so scared, it’s so high, I’ve never climbed it before…but honey…but I’m afraid…ouch!”
The weird murmur had just ended.
Russell then saw the brown bear accidentally being thrown off the big tree, with a loud bang that shook the surrounding trees.
“Paulie, did you see that?”
“See, Russell, there’s a big stupid bear there.” Paulie laughed in her mind.
Russell laughed: “Now, there are two big stupid bears.”
Grove’s nickname is also Big Bear.
