“You don’t like the name Red Eyes?
“Jiji!”
“You want to call me Kevin too?”
“Jiji!”
There is no doubt that Russell can be sure that the strange murmur he just heard came from the Red-Eyed Rat King.
The ability to listen to the whispers of phantom beasts brought by the extract berries does indeed exist.
It’s just a matter of probability. Russell can’t hear the whispers of the fantasy beasts at any time. As for when he can hear it and when he can’t, he has to figure it out slowly.
“We already have Kevin. You can’t call me Kevin anymore.” Under the disappointed eyes of the red-eyed rat king, Russell said slowly, “But you can call me Jerry. Jerry is a well-known name, even better than Kevin.” It sounds better.”
“Jiji!” The red-eyed rat king nodded wildly, obviously liking the name Jerry very much.
certainly.
It’s also possible that it just wanted a more normal name, rather than using a nickname like Red Eyes as a name.
“Very well, from now on, your name will be Red-Eyed Rat King Jerry.”
Russell announced the Red-Eyed Rat King’s new name, Jerry, to everyone during lunch that day.
“Jerry, well, it’s a really good name.” Charles, who came here once again to have a meal and drink, commented on the name perfunctorily, “But I still prefer the fragrance of Fendai wine, which originates from the mouth of the Sancha River. Good wine, intoxicating.”
The Fendai wine was brought back by Russell from the mouth of the Sancha River. The quantity was small, so one drink was missing.
I met the fairy Saiban today and got Xuelin’s blessing. He was very happy, so he was willing to take out the Fendai wine.
“Not as good as brandy,” Eric muttered.
Charles immediately despised: “Even if you become a Knight of Phantom Beasts, you are still powerless when it comes to tasting fine wine. Perhaps in your mouth, no wine can compare to brandy, because what you love is not wine, but alcohol.”
“Fart, I love ice-burning too, and that’s wine.” Eric retorted.
“That’s just because the degree of ice-burning is higher and more intense, so it tastes better to you.”
Charles said disdainfully: “The real taste must start from the four aspects of color, fragrance and charm… Look at the color, it is like pink and black, beautiful… Smell the fragrance, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the fruity flavor… Taste, plump Tall, smooth and soothing throat…”
After swallowing the red wine gently, Charles shook the goblet and said with an intoxicated expression: “Like the lingering sound of a song, like a moment of pleasure, Fendai Fendai is not only the name of the grape, but also the tenderness contained in the red wine.”
Eric had nothing to say and just rolled his eyes.
Russell clapped his hands gently: “Teacher Charles, you are definitely an expert in wine tasting.”
“Your Excellency, this is just my little hobby for fine wine.” Charles responded proudly.
……
After lunch.
Old Hans, who went to the cigar factory to take charge of the work, rushed back and brought back a construction team from the town.
When Russell saw the captain of the construction team, he immediately said: “Captain Candace, you have done a good job in building the official dormitory in the small market, so I asked Old Hans to continue to invite you to help me renovate this manor.”
“I am honored to receive your approval, Lord Russell. My team members and I will definitely renovate the manor for you seriously.”
“Okay, let’s take a look at the manor’s courtyard first, and then work together to come up with an overall renovation plan.”
“Okay, Mr. Russell, please go first.”
“Old Hans, go and do your work. Maurice, go and receive the construction team, and then arrange temporary housing for them.”
“Yes, sir.”
Then Russell and Captain Candace walked up and down the manor’s courtyard, and expressed his needs to build an extra floor on the back row of houses.
“It’s not difficult, Mr. Russell, especially since the clay bricks you produce are of the same size, making it easier to build walls.” Captain Candace said confidently, “It’s just that the construction time may be a bit long. The materials used in your manor’s courtyard It’s too real and it’s very troublesome to modify.”
Therefore, the materials used in the manor’s courtyard are almost the same as those used in the Fluorescent Castle, and various magic materials are added to the gaps in the stone walls.
As strong as a fortress.
It is really time-consuming and labor-intensive to rely on masons and carpenters to dig by hand.
“It’s okay, take your time.” Russell said, “You can start construction after I get up in the morning, and you can work overtime at night until I go to bed… In short, we can complete the project as quickly as possible while ensuring quality.”
Captain Candace calculated silently for a while and said: “I can assure you, Mr. Russell, that the renovation of the manor will be completed within three months. It will only be advanced and not delayed.”
“good.”
The decision was made, and the construction team entered the site that afternoon.
Because the workers needed to renovate a lot of places, the entire back row house could no longer be inhabited. Fortunately, the servants could enter the front row house and squeeze in.
Moreover, the guest rooms on the second floor can also be accommodated. Russell doesn’t need to receive guests recently anyway.
“Sir, why don’t you give your manor a name for your renovation?” Charles came over again during dinner time in the evening.
This time, even Eric was imitated and walked over with Kevin, saying in a low voice: “Three floors, it can barely be considered a small castle.”
Now that he has money in his pocket, Russell doesn’t care about the two people’s extravagant behavior.
He said with a smile: “Then let’s change the name, but this can’t be called a small castle. If you really name it a castle, people will laugh out loud.”
“No one dares to laugh at you in this territory,” said Charles.
“What about outside the territory?”
“Well, there shouldn’t be many people who would dare to laugh at you.”
“But some people will still laugh at me… In short, I don’t want to call it a castle, just call it Cigar Courtyard.” Russell thought of a name that he thought was good, “My territory will definitely be known as Yulong Cigar in the future. The Cigar Courtyard is just right for the Grand Duchy.”
“The name you chose is so good, it matches the territory perfectly!” Charles immediately flattered him.
Russell then looked at Eric with a smile.
Eric muttered: “That’s right.”
“Very good, since both teachers agree, then…Captain Candace, come here.” Russell called Captain Candace, “Go back and find two masons to carve the cigar compound on top of the gate. Four words.”
Captain Candice responded: “As you wish.”
At this time, Jack, the knight’s retinue, came back on horseback: “Sir, I have bought all the thorn seeds you wanted to buy.”
Thorns are a common hedge plant, so there are specially sold seeds in Youguang Town.
Russell did not take the seeds, but asked Butler Morris to take them and collect them. He just ordered: “Charles, you will arrange for a few serfs to come over tomorrow to perform labor and help me plant thorn hedges.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Let’s go, two teachers, let’s have dinner together in the Cigar Courtyard tonight.” Russell invited.
Charles immediately chuckled and said, “I’m not honored to be invited by you. I just don’t know if I can continue to taste Fendai wine tonight.”
Russell said without looking back: “No.”
“Uh…” Charles hesitated.
The corner of Eric’s mouth curled up. Seeing Charles’ deflated expression, he felt happy in his heart, and then patted Kevin on the head: “Go find Hong… no, go and play with Jerry.”
