Chapter 158 Tobacco Elf Ni
Roland has a set of armor, Luo Lin has a bracelet, Cooper has a belt, and Laura has a necklace, all made of the highest quality magical creations.
“Russell, this is yours.” Earl Merlin did not deliver the gift himself, but asked his valet Dylan to do it for him.
Dylan brought a large box and opened it. Inside was a pair of exquisite and gorgeous bows and arrows.
Earl Merlin smiled and said: “A knight’s charge is never the only option, especially as a lord, you should have sufficient means to deal with possible changes. Therefore, bows and arrows are the best choice besides long swords and spears.”
Russell’s eyes lit up.
Not only because of this gorgeous bow and arrow, but also because of Earl Merlin’s words, which he deeply agreed with.
The lord shoulders the heavy responsibility of managing the territory and training knights. If he can charge into battle at will, he may end up hanging in the battlefield. In that case, the loss of the territory will be huge.
Therefore, it is the best choice for the lord to place arrows in the rear.
“Thank you, grandpa!” Russell picked up the bow and arrows in the box.
There are twelve arrows in a bundle. In terms of sophistication, they are definitely not arrows for battlefield use, but are exclusive to training.
As for the bow, it seemed to be made of the bones of a fantasy beast. It was wrapped with a thin circle of metal wire and inlaid with several gems such as red, yellow, blue and green.
Regardless of whether this bow is practical or not, at least its value will definitely not be low.
At least hundreds of gold coins as a base.
The price system between the top and bottom of Longmian Continent is so unbalanced. If Russell had not had a good grandfather, he would not be able to afford such a bow and arrow with his Black-waisted Snake Manor.
It takes a lot of effort to maintain a squad of knights, let alone these gorgeous equipment.
Earl Merlin smiled and asked, “Do you like it?”
“I like it!” Russell tried the strength of the bow string with his hands. He couldn’t pull it open at all without rousing his fighting spirit. Even if he summoned his fighting spirit, he could only pull it open, and the bow was not fully stretched, so it was not suitable for use now.
However, after Russell is promoted to the Grand Knight, he should be able to draw this bow and arrow freely.
“Grandpa, does this bow and arrow have a name?”
“Yes, it’s called Qingxue Gong.”
Russell was already satisfied with the gift of the Light Snow Bow. He thought it would be over, but he never expected that Earl Merlin was still prepared.
He looked at Viscount Major: “Where are Melinda and her two children?”
“The eldest sister’s family has left.”
“You are still so petty.” Earl Merlin frowned slightly and waved his hand, “Ignore them… This year Russell comes of age. I am in the Red Castle and did not prepare for the coming of age ceremony, so I will make up for it for you today.”
“Grandpa, it’s okay.” Russell said no, but his eyes lit up again. Who doesn’t like gifts?
A light snow bow can equal the output of several years of farming in his territory.
One more try, and this life will save ten years of struggle!
However, this time, the valet Dylan brought a jade box the size of a shoe box and handed it to Earl Merlin.
Earl Merlin gently opened the lid of the box, and inside was an elf sleeping soundly. It was as big as a palm, with two transparent wings on its back, and two green vegetable leaves on its head. It twitched while sleeping. One pump.
For a moment, Russell’s breathing stagnated.
This is an elf!
It means 1,500 acres of magic potion, countless elven bugs for tens to hundreds of years, and a large number of knights.
If the Light Snow Bow is a treasure that can be measured in gold coins, then the elf is a priceless treasure that cannot be exchanged for even a castle.
At this moment, not only Russell was shocked, but also the eldest brother Roland’s eyes widened, and his eyes that were originally white turned completely red in a few seconds.
Rowling and Cooper looked at each other, equally astonished.
Although the Yujiuka family is very wealthy, they not only have two bipedal dragons, but also a big elf, and dozens or twenty little elves. But it is still incredible to be able to take out an elf as a gift.
To know.
However, the expressions of Viscount Merlin and his wife, as well as Cousin Mel, did not change. It seemed that Count Merlin had already been angry with them.
At this time, I heard Earl Merlin say with some emotion: “This is Nico, the tobacco elf. I have loved smoking all my life. I have been deliberately cultivating tobacco fields since I was young, just to cultivate the best tobacco leaves.”
After spending half his life’s energy and blood, he even obtained a trace of the origin of the flying dragon, and finally cultivated a tobacco elf insect into today’s tobacco elf Nico.
“Nicole is ten years old. I still remember that year when I defeated Earl Gravel and was successfully elected as the Chief Consul of the Council of Elders. It was also in that year that Neeiko successfully evolved and gave me a double surprise.” Count Merlin lamented. “Now, let it witness Russell’s growth.”
“Father!” Mrs. Meryl said immediately, “This gift is too precious!”
Baron Roman also said: “Yes, father-in-law, you’d better exchange a gift for Russell.”
“What is precious?” Earl Merlin said calmly, “In my eyes, there is nothing valuable except the giant dragon in the volcano. And that giant dragon only opens its eyelids a few days a year to see A look at the territory.”
He continued: “In just these few glances, although nothing can be seen clearly, I believe it is looking at Russell.”
These words made Russell feel nervous.
But he soon felt relieved and listened to Earl Merlin say: “Two phantom beasts, a few mushroom worms, a mushroom bird, and I also picked up a pearl. This is sufficient evidence. Since the giant dragon is so partial to Russell, I How can we not express it?”
He patted Nico, the tobacco elf in the jade box, to wake her up, then held Nico up and motioned for Russell to come forward.
Russell glanced at his parents.
He also knew that this gift was too expensive, so he had to treat it with caution.
Mrs. Meryl was hesitant to speak, but in the end she did not stop Russell with her eyes, while Baron Roman nodded slightly, his eyes full of encouragement.
After receiving the affirmation, Russell slowly stepped forward: “Grandpa.”
“It’s just an elf. What are you doing here?” Earl Merlin was a little dissatisfied with Russell’s performance. “I have terminated the contract with Nico. It does not have an elf contract with it now. Hurry up and make a contract!”
Elves cannot be contracted frequently. The contract must be delayed for one or two years at a time before the next contract can be started.
However, Nicole has not frequently contracted in the past ten years, so after Earl Merlin breaks the contract, Russell can directly contract.
“Huh?” Nicole was obviously still a little confused and didn’t know what happened.
Standing on the palm of Earl Merlin, it looked at the people around it with vigilant eyes. Because the elf contract had been terminated, it was obviously very insecure.
Fortunately, it had established a contract with Count Merlin since the time of the elf bug, and its decades-long relationship allowed it to still be close to Count Merlin.
Dylan brought the prepared jade powder and handed it to Russell.
Russell took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. After all, this was a coming-of-age gift from his grandfather to his grandson. There was nothing he wouldn’t accept.
The jade powder obviously attracted Neeko. Neeko wanted to eat it, but she looked at Earl Merlin. With the encouragement of Earl Merlin, she opened her mouth and started eating in small bites.
Taking advantage of it’s unpreparedness, Russell stretched out his finger that had been scratched and inserted it into the little guy’s mouth. He bit it gently with his fine teeth, and the blood drops mixed with jade powder entered Nicole’s belly, and then what happened Fantastic reaction.
It was a mysterious connection established in the dark with blood as the guide.
In an instant.
There was a clear telepathy between Russell and the tobacco elf Nicole, and an elf contract was concluded.
“Huh?” Nicole tilted her head and looked at Russell, no longer fearful, but filled with a sense of intimacy and security.
“Niko, come here!” Russell waved.
Neeko immediately prepared to fly over, but then turned back and glanced at Earl Merlin, showing a hint of reluctance.
Earl Merlin smiled gently and said: “Go, little Neeko, to your new master.”
Then he looked at Russell again: “I gave you the Tobacco Elf for another purpose. I want to return to the territory to grow tobacco and then make Yulong cigars. You will be responsible for all the Yulong cigars that grandpa smokes in the future.”
Russell laughed: “Arrange!”
