The Fluorescent Mushroom Family’s convoy only passed through the vast snowfields and returned to the Youguang River Valley at the end of February.
It was relatively simple when we went there, with only two large carriages, but when we came back there were more than twenty carriages, pulling all of Aunt Luo Bi’s property.
Even though there was plenty of heating in the carriage along the way, Aunt Robbie still fell ill and stayed in the Fluorescent Castle to recuperate.
Russell came to visit several times.
“You don’t need to worry about it. Your father and I have arranged a residence for your aunt. We will build a small castle near Youguang Town. Your aunt and cousin will live in this small castle from now on.” Meryl said the lady.
Russell was confused: “Didn’t you say before that you would go to Dafeng Manor and live with your grandmother?”
“Your aunt has been restrained in the Golden Roof Castle for so many years. She has had enough of the manor life, so she wants to change her environment and live in a more lively town.” Mrs. Meryl explained, “Your grandmother will also move there. Live with her.”
“Grandma doesn’t go to the hot springs anymore?”
“The allure of hot spring bathing is nothing compared to that of your own daughter. Mother and daughter used to write endless letters to each other, but now that they live together, they can finally chat endlessly.” Mrs. Meryl teased. Said, “I hope Diana will not be influenced by them.”
“Well.” Russell smiled, “My aunt’s family, and my grandmother, can also choose to settle in my Black Fire Land.”
“Your place is still a wasteland, and they can’t get used to it.” Mrs. Meryl said with a smile, “It’s been a few days. The Senate should have approved it long ago. Why hasn’t your Baron canonization ceremony been decided yet?”
“I don’t know.” Russell shrugged, “Maybe my uncle’s funeral conflicts with my baron canonization ceremony, so I’ll wait for a while.”
A happy event and a sad news.
It happened almost at the same time, so there would naturally be conflicts, so the reward for Russell would be delayed.
After chatting with my mother for a while, Baron Roman and his eldest brother Roland, who had gone to the snowfield to inspect, also came back.
As soon as the eldest brother Roland entered the door and saw Russell, he said excitedly: “Haha, Russell, it’s exactly the same as what you said. The snowfield between the Netherlight Valley and the Black Fire Land is melting, and the three warm enclaves are about to be connected into one!”
The territories are connected, which means that the area of Youguang Valley will expand. How can he, the heir to the baron, not be excited.
If nothing else, doubling the area is definitely possible.
If you are lucky, the area may even double or triple. This is the benefit of the resonance between warm enclaves.
Compared to Roland’s excitement, Baron Roman was much calmer.
Just smiled and said: “The expansion of the Warm Enclave will benefit the Shadow Flame Dragon. This matter is not only the glory of my fluorescent mushroom family, but also the glory of the entire Grand Duchy. Find a time to report it to the Elder Council.”
Russell smiled and asked: “Father, don’t you want to keep a low profile?”
“How can such a thing be concealed in a low-key manner?” Baron Roman blinked, “And my son, the way of survival of the Fluorescent Mushroom family has been completely destroyed by you… Well, at this stage, we need to find a new one. way of survival.”
“Develop!” said the eldest brother Roland, “Father, I think the new way of survival for the Fluorescent Mushroom family should be development.”
He chuckled: “Russell’s Black Fire Land and Lei Ze need development, and they will also need development after the expansion of the Netherlight Valley.”
“Yes, development is indeed a very good way to survive.” Baron Roman touched his chin and agreed with Roland’s proposal.
Russell was fine with that.
I even want to suggest that we simply add a qualification before development – sustainable development. This is the last word for long-term survival.
“Okay, you three continue chatting, and I’m going to see Robbie.” Mrs. Meryl smiled and left the room.
Baron Roman immediately took out a bottle of wine from the corner and three goblets. Roland immediately took it, poured three glasses of red wine, served it to Baron Roman and Russell, and then held the glass himself, signaling a toast.
The father and son drank red wine while chatting about the future of the territory.
“Russell, when the population rewarded by the Red Castle arrives, I will solve the food problem for you, and you can develop with peace of mind.” Baron Roman gave his old father’s promise, “With your glory, the family territory has also been expanded. How about just writing off all the money from Haizhu?”
Russell smiled and responded: “Okay.”
He had received several large bags of ice beads from his father before, which were converted into several thousand gold coins.
After a pause, he continued: “Father, later I will ask the family to organize manpower to help me mine the black oil veins. Then the fuel used by the family to make ceramics can use my black oil. There is no need to purchase coal from outside.” “
“Oh, the Black Fire Land has already produced black oil veins?” Baron Roman said in surprise.
“Yes, Rosey has sensed the existence of the black oil veins.”
Soon, we started talking about Russell’s title and the family he founded.
The eldest brother Roland asked: “The baron is a hereditary nobleman. As long as he does not make any major mistakes of principle, he will retire with the country. Russell, you have created a new family. Have you thought about the noble surname of the family?”
“Think about it.”
“What’s it called?”
“It’s also called a fluorescent mushroom.” Russell smiled, “After all, I also have a fluorescent mushroom bird, right?”
Fluorescent Mushroom Bird Rosie, Tobacco Elf Neeko, Wheat Elf Whit, the only ones that sound good are “Fluorescent Mushrooms”.
Of course, Russell can also take pseudo-dragon as his surname, like West Kinnary, the dragon domain lord of the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents who appears in the book “The Possible Evolution of Dragons”, with the surname “One Horn”. beast”.
But Russell considered that he was not only the lord of the dragon domain, but also a flying dragon knight, and that the pseudo-harpy dragon Hape might also be promoted to a pseudo-dragon in the future.
So Unicorn was dropped as a surname.
In fact, the most important thing is that sooner or later, he will become a dragon knight. At that time, he will create a dragon-blood family contracted with Xiao Menglong, and his surname will also be mainly Xiao Menglong.
At this stage, whether it is fluorescent mushrooms or unicorns, it is a transition.
No need to get too entangled.
Baron Roman was very pleased to hear that Russell’s surname was still “Fluorescent Mushroom”, and said: “Okay, Fluorescent Mushroom is the best surname!”
In this way, although Russell created a new family, he was still a member of the fluorescent mushroom family.
Then he raised his glass: “Come, let us, father and son, have a drink together for the fluorescent mushroom family that is about to be born and the fluorescent mushroom family that is about to grow!”
“Victory!” Roland raised his glass.
Russell followed up with a toast: “Drink to win!”
Bang, the father and son’s wine glasses clinked together, and then they all drank the wine in one gulp, looking at each other and smiling, all without saying a word.
……
In early March, the cold ice age has not subsided, but the river ice condensed in the warm enclave is already showing signs of melting.
The knight who copied the newspaper from the Red Castle, together with the messenger knights of the Red Castle, crossed the mountain and river trade routes and entered the Youguang River Valley.
“In the name of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family, and upon the unanimous recommendation of the Elders Council, the Dragon Knight and Lord of the Dragon Realm are officially canonized. Russell Fluorescent Fungus is the hereditary baron of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. The baron’s name is Thunder Flame!”
The messenger knight passed by the manor while speeding, and loudly announced the titles of nobles from the Red Castle.
This quickly caused the serfs in the manor to rush to watch.
“Russell?” As a serf in the Youguang Valley, he naturally knew who Russell was. “Master Russell has become a baron!”
“Praise the dragon, Young Master Russell of the Baron’s family has also become the Baron!”
“Baron Thunder Flame, Young Master Russell has been canonized as Baron Thunder Flame by the dragon in the Red Castle. Praise the dragon, praise the Fluorescent Mushroom family!”
“Oh my god, I knew it, I knew it, Master Russell would become the new baron sooner or later!”
“No, Master Russell is a flying dragon knight!”
“That… what is the Dragon Domain Lord?”
“No matter what it is, it must be great. I saw Master Russell when he was a child. He is so precious. I knew then that he would become a baron sooner or later!”
The Messenger Knights had gone away, leaving the serfs standing beside the Cinder Avenue, admiring and proud.
