Chapter 306 Old Aunt
The two brothers Roland and Russell successfully entered Huyang Fort.
Although the two brothers came with a mission, they obviously couldn’t go straight to the topic right away and had to figure it out slowly.
Of course, Roland is much better at this kind of thing than Russell, so Russell doesn’t have to worry about anything and just treat it as a trip.
Russell’s guide is the second son of the Horn Baron, the underage Grontan Bajiagan. He is only fourteen years old this year, but he has been blooming with fighting spirit for more than a year. He can be regarded as a senior armorer. knight.
At this time, Grontan was riding on a war horse and introduced Russell: “Although the conditions in the Gobi are harsh, there are many wild beasts, and phantom beasts can often be found.”
Then he couldn’t help but secretly take a look at Russell’s mount, the unicorn Baoli, and said with envy: “But there has never been such a beautiful fantasy beast as your mount, Brother Russell… What a beautiful war horse. “
“Angchi!” Baoli snorted from her nostrils.
Russell immediately corrected him seriously: “Grontan, I have to correct you on a principled misunderstanding.”
“Ah?” Grontan was puzzled, “What?”
“My friend Paulie, she’s not a horse, she’s a unicorn. A unicorn is not a horse, they’re two different creatures.”
“Oh.” Grontan still didn’t understand. “If it’s not a horse, what is it?”
“That’s the unicorn.”
“What’s a unicorn?”
“You are stumping me, but you just need to remember one thing. A unicorn is a unicorn, a separate creature. It is not the same as a horse.” Russell could only elaborate like this, In fact, he himself is vague.
Baoli’s appearance is basically that of a horse with one horn. At most, she is just a little more handsome and cool.
If the Nightmare Horse evolved from a horse, then the Unicorn Baoli should theoretically evolve from a horse.
Russell concluded that Baoli may have pseudo-dragon blood, but no matter how noble the pseudo-dragon blood is, pseudo-dragons also evolved from phantom beasts, and phantom beasts evolved from ordinary beasts – after all, Baoli’s ancestor may still be a horse.
certainly.
No matter how difficult it is for a person, he will not be dismantled for a difficult horse. Russell doesn’t mind meeting Paulie’s needs – a unicorn is not a horse! Fortunately, the young man Grontan was not too confused about what a unicorn was, and took Russell on a quick tour of the Gobi. During this period, it was easy to develop a liking for Russell. After all, Russell riding a unicorn is so handsome.
It fits all the fantasies young people have about knights – they are handsome, their mounts are handsome, and their fighting power is super strong! Even on the way back to Fort Huyang, Grantan had a sudden thought: “Brother Russell, can I follow you?”
“Huh?” This shocked Russell, “Why do you think so?”
If Grantan was just the second son of a lord, Russell would not be surprised at all if he said this. But Grontan was the second son of a baron, and sooner or later he would be able to become a lord.
Even if the Horn Baron is unwilling to enfeoff, and his eldest brother Grongo treats him badly, he can at least get some resources to strive for the status of a duchy lord.
“I don’t know.” Grontan scratched his neck in embarrassment, “I just think that Brother Russell has a temperament in you that makes me want to follow you.”
“Haha, we can just talk about this in private.” Russell stretched out his hand and patted Grontan’s shoulder, his favorable impression of this discerning young man greatly increased, “Of course, if one day I strive for fame, you are welcome to come over “
“Well, it’s settled!” Grontan nodded heavily, “I believe that Brother Russell, you will definitely be able to make great achievements!”
In his heart, he silently added: “A knight who can ride such a handsome horse must be an extraordinary knight!”
Obviously, the reason why this little boy wanted to follow Russell was because Russell rode a unicorn that he envied! Russell doesn’t know this, but that doesn’t stop him from feeling good about himself.
He even took the initiative to say to Grontan: “I have been living in Huyang Castle these days. You can ask me for advice on cultivation. I can’t guarantee anything else, but when it comes to swordsmanship, no one in the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy knows better than me. !”
“Really?” Grontan was surprised.
Looking at his expression, Russell knew that he didn’t believe it, but he didn’t care. When he showed his skills tomorrow, Grontan would naturally kneel down and become his disciple.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, the dinner party began soon. The banquet in Huyangbao was not luxurious, even a little simple. But Russell didn’t mind. He was already a Phantom Beast Knight and no longer needed to eat magic food.
Therefore, at the banquet, he paid more attention to the members of the Bai Jinggen family.
Gradually.
I felt something different.
“Gwen and the eldest brother seem to have a good rapport. Occasionally their eyes meet once or twice, which is really funny.” Russell had to admit that Roland was really good at seducing women, and his laughter always made Gwen laugh.
But other than that, the Bai Jinggen family seemed a little indifferent.
Baron Gervidas and his wife hardly said a few words at the banquet, and the eldest son Grongo and his wife were also perfunctory.
Only the second son, Grantan, occasionally asked Roland some questions.
“Quinilla Sunflower is the granddaughter of Swan Baron Quenbiff. Obviously Baron Gervidus will support the selection of the young master, Queensley Sunflower… But Baron Gervidas will not refuse and marry his daughter to Roland, right?”
Put aside the issue of taking sides for now.
Gwen married Roland and would become a baroness in the future. This was the best outcome for the daughter of a noble family.
“Besides Roland, Gwen doesn’t have a better marriage partner… You can’t want to marry Cousin Mel, right?” Russell thought silently.
There are two counts in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Augustus Shuiliu, the son of Count Osclo Shuiliu of Gravel Stone and one of the chosen sons, is already married.
Although Cousin Mel is not married, there is a high probability that the marriage partner will be a branch of the Shadow Flame family. Only in this way can the Shadow Flame family increase their recognition of Cousin Mel. After all, he is the chosen son as a cousin.
In addition, there are five barons in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
Swan Baron Quinbiff Shadowflame is old, and his granddaughter Quinella Sunflower has already married to Populus euphratica Desert. He can’t let his grandson Quinsley Sunflower marry Gwen as his wife. Let’s get married.
The Golden Baron, Davis Goldenrod, had no sons.
The son of Baron Kuris Tianzicao of Black Court, Cooper, has married Russell’s sister Rowling.
Therefore, only Roland, the son of Baron Youguang, was left as the most suitable marriage partner for the Baijiogen family. The two families had also verbally confirmed this before.
“Forget it, why am I thinking so much? Let the eldest brother handle it by himself.” He couldn’t figure out where the coldness of the Lotus japonicus family came from, so Russell didn’t bother to think about it. Moreover, he has always been insensitive to favors and the like, “said Maybe I’m overthinking it.”
After the banquet, Russell used to go for a walk outside to eat.
Roland stayed and chatted with Baron Gervidas and his wife.
When Russell came back from a walk and returned to the room, he saw Roland waiting for him with a gloomy look on his face.
“What’s wrong, brother?”
“Things have changed.” Roland clenched his fists, “We had a good chat at dinner, so I took the opportunity to propose a marriage while drinking tea. Who knew that Baron Gervidas did not agree, but instead said that Lady Joanna did not want Gwen Marry early!”
As he spoke, Roland punched the table: “What nonsense is this? Gwen is already nineteen, and she will be an old girl in two years!”
