Chapter 233 Kunbifu Shadow
The Fire Cloud Trade Road connecting the Fire Ant Swamp to the volcanic oasis is a shorter distance than the Mountain River Trade Road connecting the Youguang Valley to the volcanic oasis.
Therefore, on the second night after crossing the snowfield, the knights had already walked down the snowfield and entered the fire ant swamp territory.
The messenger of the Swan Baron has been waiting in the crypt for a long time.
After seeing the Knights of the Netherlight Valley, he quickly led the knights along a slightly muddy road towards the Swan Lake in the center of the fire ant swamp.
Swan Castle, the castle of the Swan Baron, is located on the bank of Swan Lake.
This lake in the swamp is shaped like a swan with folded wings, and there are indeed a large group of swans living in the lake. Among them is the specialty of Swan Castle, the breeding of black swans, which is famous throughout the Grand Duchy.
A few decades ago, the entire fire ant swamp territory was still the direct jurisdiction of the Shadow Flame family.
It was only in these years that it became a barony.
“The Gobi Knights of Populus euphratica arrived first, led by Baron Gervidas himself… followed by the Knights of Sanchahekou. The old Earl did not come, but the Knights led by Viscount Major… and then came the Youguang River Valley led by you. The Knights.”
On the way, the messenger introduced the situation of the fire ant swamp.
“How many people are here at the Red Castle?” Baron Roman asked.
“Most of the lords and lords from the Sand Province, Yunze Province, Mountain Province, and Qianhu Province arrived at Swan Castle under the leadership of the governor. The remaining lords and lords from several provinces are temporarily Haven’t arrived yet.”
The messenger replied: “As for the Red Fort, four dragon knights have been dispatched to monitor the Snow Demon Legion around the clock.”
“Did the Grand Duke and the Dragon Blood Knights send someone to tell them when they will arrive?”
“have no idea.”
The envoy didn’t know much, so Baron Roman didn’t ask any more questions. Then the team drove through the night for more than an hour and arrived at the Swan Castle on the bank of Swan Lake.
Swan Castle was brightly lit, and a large number of nobles had already been waiting at the gate of the castle for the arrival of Baron Roman and his entourage.
The leader of them, an old man with a thick beard, laughed loudly and boldly: “Roman, you are a little late!”
“Your Excellency Quimbieff, the road is not easy, I have rushed here as fast as possible.” Baron Roman stepped forward and hugged the bearded old man, “Seeing that everyone is here, I think it is safe to come to the front line. “
“We are facing off. The Snow Giant is summoning the Snow Demon Legion. It will take some time, but this will also give us a buffer.” The bearded old man laughed.
He is the lord of the Fire Ant Swamp, Swan Baron Quinbifu Shadowflame. As you can tell from his surname, he was born into the Shadowflame Dragonblood family.
He is the cousin of the late Grand Duke Quentin III Shadowflame, and is also a dragon knight.
Because of his outstanding military exploits and his clan background, he was able to obtain the title of baron and rule the warm enclave of Fire Ant Swamp.
Otherwise, ordinary branch children of the Shadow Flame family would at most be canonized as lifelong lords rather than hereditary nobles.
“Is this your son? Russell?” After Quimbieff hugged Baron Roman, he looked at Russell who was following Baron Roman.
Hearing this, Russell took a step forward and bowed and saluted: “Russell has met Lord Quinbeef.”
“The young man is very energetic and has an extraordinary demeanor. You can vaguely see the shadow of the old Earl.” Baron Quimbeef was very considerate and praised Russell. “He went to the battlefield with his father at a young age. It is destined to be a good story!”
“You are too complimentary. I still need to learn more about things on the battlefield.” Russell responded humbly.
“Work hard.” Baron Quimbieff patted Russell on the shoulder.
Russell ended his greetings to Baron Quimbieff and turned to look at his uncle Major Ujiuka: “Uncle, Russell says hello to you.”
“It’s getting stronger.” Viscount Major also patted Russell on the shoulder. There was no need to say much between relatives.
Behind Uncle Major, Cousin Mel stood, winking at Russell.
Russell then looked at another great nobleman, the lord of Populus Gobi, Baron Gwedas Bajigen of Oxhorn.
This is a middle-aged man with an average appearance, but a gentle smile.
Speaking of this relative who is about to become a relative of the Fluorescent Mushroom family, Russell already knows that the eldest brother Roland is likely to marry Gwen Lotus, the daughter of Baron Gervidas, and the two barons will become in-laws by then.
After Russell bowed and saluted, he said hello to Baron Gervidus, and then said: “Brother also asked me to say hello to you. He needs to be in the Youguang River Valley and cannot come to the battlefield to say hello to you in person… In addition, I also want to say hello to Ms. Gwen. say hello.”
“Roland is interested.” Baron Gervidas nodded calmly. Although his smile was gentle, it was not enthusiastic.
Russell is not a sensitive person, but he can also feel that Baron Gervidas’s reaction has a clear sense of alienation.
“Is it because the eldest brother has a bad reputation, or is it for other reasons?” Russell had some thoughts in his mind, “The news of being jumped by a fairy at the mouth of the Sancha River spread, or is it because he slept in the Red Fort until three o’clock in the morning?”
Unable to think of an answer, Russell quickly put aside this thought. Such troubles were the matter of his parents and eldest brother Roland.
It has nothing to do with him.
Next, Russell greeted another middle-aged man: “Hello, Mr. Quinton.”
“Your Excellency Russell, welcome to Swan Castle. No matter how the war develops, I hope you can have a pleasant stay in the fire ant swamp.” The middle-aged man looks similar to Baron Quinbeef. He is the son of Baron Quinbeef, Quinton. ·sunflower.
Only direct descendants of nobles can bear the family name.
As a descendant of the Shadowflame family, the “Shadowflame” surname should have ceased in his father’s generation.
But because he succeeded in riding the dragon, he was able to continue to take the surname “Shadow Flame” and enjoy the treatment of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family.
But his son could no longer inherit the surname “Shadow Flame”, so he chose the surname of the family’s Sunflower Great Elf.
Lord Quinteon is flanked by his two sons, Lord Queenslay Sunflower and Lord Queenspur Sunflower – both are older than Russell, both are married, and both have been granted lordships. .
As the welcome ceremony progressed, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening.
After dinner.
Russell, whose stomach was almost round after eating, was pulled away by Cousin Mel: “Russell, can you see any changes in me?”
“I can’t tell.” Russell shook his head.
“Haha, let’s go, I’ll take you to meet my partner, Iron Feather Gray Crane Molla!” Cousin Mel said excitedly.
“Iron Feather Gray Crane Mora?” Russell raised his eyebrows, “Cousin, have you been promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight?”
“Of course.” A proud smile appeared on the corner of Mel’s mouth, “Your Excellency Medikalen has no chance with me, and Your Excellency Mercedes is not in my turn, so I can naturally contract with the fantasy beasts. Among them, Mora is the most compatible with me, and I also like Maura the most!”
Although Cousin Mel has already determined that he can ride on Mercedes in the future and become a new dragon rider.
But Earl Merlin has not died yet, and His Excellency Mercedes has not yet been able to turn to Cousin Mel, so he has remained a virgin until now, trying to contract with Lord Medicalun, so that he can become a dragon knight immediately.
No need to wait any longer.
However, His Excellency Medicalun was too close to him but did not recognize him enough. In addition, the last time His Excellency Medicalun gave Russell a mouthful of Origin Dragon Breath, this undoubtedly made Mel realize that perhaps His Excellency Medicalun recognized Russell more.
So he stopped waiting and simply gave up on conquering Lord Medikalen and chose the contracted fantasy beast.
