Merlin Ujiuka was handsome and charming when he was young. Coupled with his status as an earl, he could be said to be the dream lover of nearly half of the women in the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Even if they lost their wives in middle age, there were still many noble ladies who thought of Lord Merlin in their hearts.
Of course, Mrs. Meryl knew her father’s character and would never easily hook up with a lady with a rotten crotch.
However, hearing Roland’s teasing relieved a lot of her nervousness – maybe her father had not had a hard time these years, and maybe she didn’t need to worry about her old father… Besides, her old father had already been rumored to be having an affair with Princess Anxia.
“Let’s eat!” She rolled her eyes at Roland.
But soon he started talking again: “Russell, have you prepared the gift for your grandpa’s birthday? Reading glasses are not good. Your grandpa is a dragon knight and will never be presbyopic in his life… It is best to prepare a thoughtful gift. ”
“Well, mother, it’s hard for me to choose a thoughtful gift…Grandpa has everything.” Russell actually had a headache.
“The important thing is not that the gift is expensive, but your thoughts.” Mrs. Meryl said.
Russell turned to look at his eldest brother Roland: “Brother, what gift have you prepared?”
“A manuscript, the original manuscript of the author of “Snowflake Rhapsody”, which I found in Stormrage City.” Roland said proudly, “Grandpa likes to listen to musicals most, and “Snowflake Rhapsody” is his favorite!”
Mrs. Meryl praised: “This gift will definitely make your grandpa happy, especially since you prepared this gift for him half a year in advance.”
Baron Roman tilted his lips, a little disapproving, but also seemed a little disgusted.
When it was his birthday, Roland just sent him a hand-carved seal, which was not even made by a famous craftsman.
Russell then sighed: “Brother, you are going to force me to death.”
Roland said briskly: “It’s just a thought, Russell, no matter what gift I give you, grandpa will never blame you.”
Having said that, Russell must not be perfunctory, otherwise Earl Merlin won’t care and Lady Meryl will be angry.
So after patting his forehead, Russell asked instead: “Grandpa smokes, right? And he smokes very frequently, right?”
“Your grandpa has been a smoker all his life.” Baron Roman said, “All the pipes collected by Bluebird Castle are thrown into the furnace as fuel. It can bake bread for ten days and nights, and it is even enough to make a set of armor. “
“My dear, what adjective do you mean?” Mrs. Meryl looked at the Baron.
The baron shrugged his shoulders: “It’s just stating the old count’s love for smoking, an exaggerated rhetorical technique.”
Mrs. Meryl rolled her eyes at the Baron, then turned to Russell and said, “Your father is exaggerating, but your grandpa really likes to smoke. He knows all the tobacco from all over the country and has even made shredded tobacco himself.”
“Then I’ll be relieved.” Russell breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
“What do you mean, Russell, are you planning to give grandpa a bag of tobacco?” Roland said happily. “As far as I know, when grandpa was in power at the Red Fort, his office could hardly contain the tobacco given by others. ”
“Yes, Russell, giving tobacco is not a good choice. It does not reflect your feelings for grandpa.” Mrs. Meryl said.
“No, I don’t give tobacco.” Russell grinned. “Since grandpa likes smoking so much, I feel relieved. I believe that even if grandpa doesn’t like my gift, he won’t feel unkind.”
Baron Roman asked curiously: “What gift is it?”
“cigar.”
“Cigar? What the hell?”
“Well, how should I put it, a new way of smoking… Maybe grandpa will scold me and think that cigars are not as good as the pipes he has all over the house, but at least it is a very novel gift, and maybe it will lead the way. fashion.”
Russell only revealed one name and did not take out the cigar to display when he wished his grandfather a birthday.
He will definitely not be able to give out good gifts or expensive gifts.
I can only rely on some small time traveler ideas to do big things with a small amount of money. Maybe the cigar can really make a fortune and win the favor of Earl Merlin.
“I don’t know which one is better, pipe smoking or cigar smoking… But if you wrap the cigar with a story, make some gimmicks, you can instantly become a celebrity… Nobles, don’t you just like this one? Luxury goods are !”
With this thought in mind, Russell fell asleep peacefully in the Fluorescent Castle.
Xiao Menglong reported in as scheduled.
The dark dreamland expanded three times, almost encompassing the entire Fluorescent Castle and the surrounding city walls.
The magical light of the phantom beast, the magical light of the patrol knight… Of course, what attracts Little Menglong the most is undoubtedly the ice soul bead hidden in the small vault. The strange dark blue light emitted is not magical but equally Bloom.
“quack!”
“You can’t eat this, ice cream. If you eat one secretly, there will be an uproar in the Fluorescent Castle.” Russell quickly diverted Little Menglong’s attention. The theft of the Ice Soul Pearl would even alarm the Shadow Flame Dragon. .
After all, these are tributes to the Shadow Flame Dragon.
Ever since the little Menglong began to grow after eating the Ice Soul Bead, Russell knew the purpose of the Red Fort acquiring the Ice Soul Bead – to feed the Shadow Flame Dragon.
Therefore, the risk of competing for food with the Shadow Flame Dragon is too great.
“quack!”
“Be obedient, Ice Cream. You don’t want the Grand Duke’s Shadow Flame Dragon to really look over and beat you up. It’s all light. If it eats you directly as food… tsk tsk, in short, We don’t take other people’s things!”
After hearing what Russell said was terrifying, Xiao Menglong finally gave in. His head drooped and he weakly responded: “Gah.”
Without taking the Ice Soul Pearl, all the remaining magical lights around the castle would not be able to attract Little Menglong’s attention.
Even Mr. Ross, who was sleeping soundly, Xiao Menglong was not interested.
“It would be great if I could teach Mr. Ross a lesson.” Seeing Little Menglong dejected, Russell thought a little boredly.
Several times when he came to Phosphorus Castle, Mr. Ross either teased him or despised him. In short, he was very angry.
It’s a pity that the dark dream is based on the real world, but it is also detached from the real world.
So far, the only two ways to communicate with the real world are the source of Little Menglong’s breath, and the other is Little Menglong absorbing Ice Grain Beads and Ice Soul Beads. In addition, no matter how much damage is done, it cannot interfere with the outside world at all.
A wasted night.
The next day, Russell was woken up on time at 7:30. After washing and changing clothes, he went downstairs to have a buffet breakfast.
After eating, less than half past eight, a large family left the Fluorescent Castle surrounded by the servants.
There were four carriages in the team, one with Mrs. Meryl taking Laura, one with the maids, and two pulling supplies for the road. Baron Roman did not ride a horse, but also sat in the carriage with Mrs. Meryl to enjoy.
Russell and Roland were both riding horses and following the carriage.
There is also a group of guard knights around, led by Territory Patrol Knight Commander Kendall, to protect the safety of the convoy.
Silver-winged Wind Fox, Black-waisted Snake King, Nightmare Ghost Horse, Aurora Saker, plus Russell’s red-eyed rat king, and the ghostly black scorpion crawling on Roland’s back, there are six fantasy beasts in the convoy, and their combat capabilities are incomparable. It can be said that it is not strong.
“Brother, when did you bring the Dark Light Black Scorpion with you?” Russell asked curiously, “Are you ready to make a contract?”
“No, I’m just familiar with it.” Roland shook his head, “This scorpion is more difficult to defeat than Mr. Ross. He is too brainy. Otherwise, the family would have trained a third knight commander at the level of the Phantom Beast Knight.”
The reason why the Gloomy Black Scorpion has not been contracted by the knight is entirely because it is an insect-like phantom beast with a brain problem.
None of the great knights trained by the family can synchronize their thinking with the Ghostly Light Black Scorpion, so the chain of fighting energy cannot be stabilized and the contract cannot be successful.
“To be honest.” Roland came over and whispered, “I’m really afraid that during the battle, this scorpion will go crazy and even sting me!”
After saying that, he glanced at the red-eyed rat king with a sour look: “Your big rat is better. Not only is it obedient, it is also a beast king!”
