Chapter 137 Twelve
Nobility is not only related by blood but also by interests.
So when Russell proposed to use the output of 1,500 acres of magic potion fields in return for investment, Fluorescent Castle agreed without hesitation.
The family invested one thousand gold coins. In the next few years, half of the annual output of the fifteen hundred acres of magic medicine field would be sold to the Fluorescent Castle at 80% of the market price until the investment of one thousand gold coins was exhausted.
“Actually, the family can invest more gold coins, you can consider it.” The eldest brother Roland said regretfully after signing the contract.
If possible, he would even want to buy out the entire output of Russell’s 1,500 acres of potion fields, and he would order it for as long as the term lasts.
After all, gold coins are nothing to Fluorescent Castle. You can earn them back by killing a few more times in the snowy fields. Only the indispensable potions are difficult to obtain by spending money. Russell’s solicitation of investment played into his own hands.
If the contract can be signed longer and bigger, Rosie, the fluorescent mushroom bird, although she belongs to Russell in name, is actually serving the fluorescent castle.
The equivalent of Russell’s Mushroom Bird is his Mushroom Bird.
“When I need money, I will continue to invest. Let’s talk about it then.” Russell rejected Roland’s request for additional investment.
Fluorescent Castle needs to train knights, why doesn’t he need to train knights.
The Black-waisted Snake Manor is just his starting point. He will also want a larger territory and a higher title in the future. All of these require real swords and guns to fight out of the snowy fields. Moreover, ordinary snow ghosts do not count as military exploits at all, only hunting snow demons.
The Ice Soul Pearl dug out from the Snow Demon’s body is the only proof of his military exploits.
There is another very important point.
If you want to cultivate Little Menglong, I am afraid that there will definitely be no shortage of demand for Ice Soul Pearls in the future. His own strength is far from enough. A large number of knights must follow him to charge into battle in order to continuously obtain Ice Soul Beads.
So no matter what, he needs to keep part of the potion to cultivate his own knight.
This night, Russell stayed at the castle.
It’s a pity that Xiao Menglong still didn’t show up.
“It’s been twelve days. It takes twelve days to digest two Ice Soul Beads… And I don’t know if the ice cream will continue to sleep tonight.” After getting up early in the morning, Russell felt a little emotional. After eating a sumptuous meal After buffet breakfast, we left Fluorescence Fort.
The Baron and his wife have decided that three days later, on September 2, the whole family will go to the mouth of the Sancha River to visit their grandfather, Count Merlin Ujiuka.
In these three days, Russell needs to handle the affairs of the territory. After all, he has to live in Bluebird Castle for a month.
Counting the ten days on the road, I was away from home for nearly forty days.
After two hours of driving, I returned to the familiar Black-waisted Snake Manor and the familiar annex of the manor.
Butler Morris and his male and female servants stood on both sides of the gate, warmly welcoming Russell’s return.
In the past, Russell always felt that this kind of ceremony was boring, but now, he felt a lot of sense of accomplishment from this ceremony.
There is a very triumphant atmosphere.
“Sir, welcome home.” Butler Morris bowed and saluted.
“Yeah, I’m home.” Russell entered the gate, then motioned to Tom, the knight’s retinue, to bring over the gold coins and ice beads.
He smiled and said: “As usual, I won’t divide your ice beads. I will give them to you directly in exchange for gold coins… Eric’s reward is eleven gold coins…”
“Thank you, sir!” Eric took the gold coin and put it away close to his body.
After distributing gold coins one after another, Russell looked at James again and said seriously: “James, you advanced three gold coins to me for this trip to the snowfield, so there are only two gold coins left as a reward… You haven’t married yet, so you have to Save some money.”
James chuckled: “My lord, I will save these two gold coins when I get back.”
Russell leaned on the chair and waved lazily: “Okay, the rewards have been handed out. You can go home and have a good rest.”
After everyone had left, Russell asked Butler Morris to collect all the remaining gold coins. It was nearly a thousand gold coins, which was not a small amount.
“Master, why do you have so much money?” Butler Morris was a little surprised.
“You don’t have to worry about Fluorescent Castle’s investment in me. It’s just money obtained in advance from the output of my fifteen hundred acres of magic potion fields.”
“I see.”
Morris then calmly accepted the money, deposited the gold coins in the small vault in the manor’s courtyard, and kept the key close to his body.
When the news of Russell’s return spread, before noon, Charles came after hearing the news.
“Teacher Charles, I won’t let you have lunch at noon. I want to stay alone for the whole day.” Russell waved his hand, “Tomorrow you call all the officials over and we will have a meeting to discuss the territory affairs for the next more than a month. “
Charles asked carefully: “Sir, are you too tired?”
“It’s not that I’m too tired. It’s just that I just came down from the snowfield and will soon have to take the business road again, so I need to relax.”
“Are you going to fight in the snowfield again?”
“No, I’m going to Sanchahekou to visit my grandpa.”
“Oh, that’s it, haha, that’s what it should be.” Charles smiled and took off his hat, “Then I won’t disturb your rest, just relax and enjoy the warm sunshine outside, my lord.”
Russell didn’t leave the manor for the entire afternoon. He just stayed by the sunny window and read quietly.
Enjoy a rare moment of relaxation.
Occasionally, he would raise his hand, take a look at the mark on his palm, and then summon the amber thorn insect, letting the thorn whip dance in his palm.
“Can a thorn seed that turns into an amber worm still breed a complete thorn, and can it still bear fruit?” Russell asked to himself.
The only thing that answered him was the same fragmentary thoughts of the Thorn Amber Worm.
“Sunshine”, “Comfortable”, “Grow and grow”…
“Can it grow by being exposed to the sun?” Russell put the thorn whip in the sun. After an afternoon passed, he did not feel any changes. “Obviously, you are no longer a thorn, you have become a thorn.” Insects can no longer grow on sunlight alone.”
“Sunshine, sunshine… comfortable and comfortable… growth and growth…”
“Sigh, maybe this is the amber worm in plant form, and it can’t communicate.” Russell withdrew his thorn whip in disappointment.
At night, Russell went to bed early.
Waiting for the little Menglong who doesn’t know whether he will come back.
After a long time, in a state of confusion, there was a “Gah” sound, and Russell suddenly shuddered and found that he was already in a dark dream.
“Twelve days, a full twelve days!” Russell, who turned into a cartoon villain with short arms and legs, waved to the little Menglong who was flying slowly, “Ice cream, you know I have been waiting for you for a full twelve days. Yeah, you miss me so much!”
“Huh?” Little Menglong flew over and tilted his head to look at Russell, not knowing why.
“Still as stupid as before…it’s great.” Russell patted the little dream dragon on the head, and did not rush to ride on it, but looked at the little dream dragon carefully.
He wanted to see if there was any change in Little Menglong after the power of the two Ice Soul Pearls was digested.
