Chapter 350 Conversation under the Starry Sky (Part 1)
The fluorescent castle was brightly lit, and the nobles danced gracefully on the dance floor; the bonfire in the Black-waisted Snake Manor was blazing, and the commoners held hands with each other and sang and danced together.
At Russell’s dragon-riding extravaganza, all the hubbub seemed so vivid.
However, as the host of this grand ceremony, Russell himself felt a little lonely in his heart amidst the commotion.
It can’t be said that he is lonely. To be precise, he is a little bit unsociable.
He walked out of the ballroom and walked to the cloister of the castle. He placed his hands on the railings and looked up at the stars in the sky. The stars are so dense, but each one seems to be crowded together, but in fact they are millions of light years apart.
“Isn’t this the case between people?” Russell thought.
However, he is not a person who gets sad easily, and he soon found something to cheer him up: “But every star has its own planets and satellites… Just like me, I have parents, relatives and friends, as well as Roselle, Paulie, Happy, and, well, ice cream.”
In his opinion.
Although he is a lonely star, he still has dragons, fantasy beasts, and elves revolving around him.
It’s just that stars rely on gravity to affect planets and satellites, and he relies on the spiritual power given by the contract to affect dragons, fantasy beasts and elves. The body may be lonely, but in the spiritual world, he will not feel any loneliness at all.
“Right, Paulie?”
“Yes, Russell.” Paulie’s voice sounded in her heart.
Russell likes to chat with Paulie, because Paulie has a high IQ and is talkative. She seems to be more “human” than “animal”. Rosey and Happe also have high IQs, but their “animal nature” is more intense.
To be precise, this “animal nature” is a kind of self.
In Hape’s self, it is a harpy dragon, which has the same origin as the owl-like dragon in the cold spring spot in the Green City Garden; in Rosey’s self, it is a black oil dragon, guarding Everything in the Blackfire Land.
They do not think about problems from a human perspective, nor do they want to do so.
Only Paulie likes to think about various problems in the human world and behaves like a human with a unicorn body.
So it is more suitable to talk and talk.
“The place we live in is too small, Paulie.” Russell sighed in his heart, “I want to see further places, to places outside the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, to the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents, and to hurricanes further away. Kingdom of Thunder, Kingdom of Clear Sky and Darkness…”
There was a pause.
He continued to say in his mind: “There is also the most powerful human kingdom in Longmian Continent, the fire-gilt kingdom guarded by three dragon knights.”
Since the establishment of the Holy Radiant Empire, humans have started a warm-earth civilization on the snowy plains.
However, with the collapse of the Holy Radiant Empire, mankind has never been unified again. Only a unified dynasty can be called an empire, so now there are only many kingdoms and grand duchies in Longmian Continent, but no empire.
Moreover, the frequent appearance of snow giants has blocked the communication between human kingdoms.
Nowadays, it is difficult for a dragon knight with great talent and strategy to break through the blockade of the snow giant and re-establish a unified dynasty.
“Yes, Russell, I will always accompany you and support you throughout the entire Longmian Continent.” Baoli responded, “Actually, I also want to see the world. I want to find out. There are still other things in the world. Will there be a second unicorn?”
“Okay, let’s work hard together!” Russell laughed.
Just at this moment, a clear and sweet voice sounded from behind: “Brother Russell, what are you looking at here, are you so happy?”
“Ah, it’s Kunraya.” Russell turned around and saw the little princess Kunraya who was as delicate and beautiful as a little fairy. “I was looking at the stars and thought of some happy things, so I couldn’t help but laugh.”
Ever since I was treated to a meal by Princess Anxia.
The relationship between Russell and Princess Anxia has become much closer, and there is no need to address each other as “His Royal Highness” anymore. All she had to do was call Princess Anxia “Madam”, and she and the little Princess Kunlaya also started calling each other by their first names.
“It’s indeed a joy to ride a dragon.” Little Princess Kunlaya said, followed by several nuns from the Red Castle.
“Kunraya, did you enjoy the banquet today?”
“I’m very happy. I came to a new place again and met many strange people. I also saw your territory, brother Russell. Although there is nothing there, it will definitely be as beautiful as the Youguang River Valley in the future.”
“Of course.” Russell smiled.
The two chatted briefly under the watchful eyes of the nuns, and then a nun reminded: “Your Highness, little princess, it’s time for you to go back and rest.”
“Okay, mama.” Little Princess Kunlaya nodded and waved to Russell, “Brother Russell, good night.”
“Good night.”
After watching the little princess Kunlaya leave under the escort of the nuns, Russell soon looked up at the stars in the sky again.
At the same time, a very strange feeling arose in my heart.
The little princess Kunlaya, who was shocked to be a little fairy before, now looks like a fairy, and her fairy filter is broken bit by bit when they meet her. When I looked at it again, I even felt a condescending look in my heart, feeling that the little princess Kunlaya was more like a canary.
A little canary locked up in a big birdcage in the Red Fort.
“I wonder what the fate of Princess Anxia and Kunraya will be… How will they deal with themselves after my cousin wins the election?” Russell sighed, “When the time comes, I will help them if I can. They arranged a good home.”
In any case, Princess Anxia was kind to him.
This time.
A familiar voice sounded from behind again: “Russell, the dance is getting thick. Why are you, a young dragon knight, hiding here to watch the stars?”
Russell turned around and saw his grandfather, Earl Merlin, walking over alone, holding a frosty cigar between his teeth.
“Grandpa, why are you here?”
“Get some air, and have a few words with you.” Earl Merlin came over, put one hand on the railing, picked up the cigar with the other hand, and exhaled a puff of smoke, “Now that I’m riding a dragon, what are my plans for the future? ?”
“If you make great contributions, you will be granted a baron status as soon as possible.” Russell said.
“What about the major events in life?”
“Grandpa, do you want to be a matchmaker for me?”
“Haha, I don’t have this spare time.” Earl Merlin said, “I don’t even care about Mel’s marriage. You have your parents to care about you. How can I join in the fun… But speaking of it, suitable marriage partners in the principality are indeed rare. “
“Just let it go, Grandpa.”
“You have a good mentality.” Earl Merlin sighed, “I never thought that you could also pick up a dragon… If the Shadow Flame Dragon hadn’t been dormant and the contract had bloodline restrictions, I would have thought that you would have a chance to ride a dragon. “
This opportunity to ride a dragon obviously refers to the dragon knight.
Russell asked curiously: “Grandpa, is it true that people outside the Shadow Flame family can no longer contract with the Shadow Flame Dragon? To be honest, I really want to contract with the Shadow Flame Dragon and feel the beauty of the Dragon Knight taste.”
“Ha, you are quite crazy.” Earl Merlin laughed and said, “I have never ridden a dragon, so I don’t know how it feels. But with the dragon’s arrogance, how can he change knights even if he is not bound by a contract… People’s hearts will betray, dragon The heart doesn’t know that.”
Russell spread his hands: “It seems that I have no hope of contracting with the Shadow Flame Dragon.”
