Chapter 310 Jia of the Red Castle
Russell did not go back with Roland, but continued to stay in the Red Castle, preparing to receive the orders for Yulong cigars before returning.
He knew the approximate output of the 1,500 acres of magic tobacco in Wuyao Snake Manor, as well as the ordinary tobacco grown in the Youguang River Valley, so he also knew how many orders he could receive.
This day.
As soon as he woke up from the big bed in the castle, he heard the maid who came in to clean the room said: “Lord Russell, your follower, Your Excellency Katie, is waiting for you in the living room, and she is also waiting for you with Your Excellency Jerry. “
“Really?” Russell raised his eyebrows, as if he had a premonition of something.
After washing, he went downstairs and saw Katie and the red-eyed rat king Jerry. He just glanced at them and noticed unusual signs.
This is a kind of intuition, derived from the intuition of the Phantom Beast Knight.
“Katie, have you made a contract with Jerry?” He walked straight over, sat on the sofa, and touched Jerry’s head.
Jerry still respects his former master, but he can feel that there is no close feeling like before.
“Yes, sir!” Katie replied calmly, but she could still feel the excitement that could not be hidden under her calm words. “Just last night, Jerry and I completed the contract and were promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight. …My lord, you have already gone to bed, so I didn’t disturb you.”
“Okay!” Russell laughed, “Congratulations on your promotion to Phantom Beast Knight.”
“My lord has given me everything!” Katie hit her chest with her right hand, making the chest bang, and solemnly performed a knight’s salute.
“I have provided you with the opportunity. You can do all this because of your own efforts.” Russell did not take too much credit. If Katie had not had the perseverance and talent, he would not have invested in Katie. This is mutual. choose.
For example, his three retinue knights are all very young, but none of them have yet been promoted to Grand Knight.
Russell didn’t bother to invest too much in them. It was fine to let them live a plain life as small officials in the territory.
“Now that you and Jerry have officially signed a contract, you must not relax in the training of the Treasure Hunter and Sentinel Rats.” Russell said. He has always valued Jerry’s identity as the Rat King. If Jerry was not too ugly, he would have made the contract himself. of.
“Yes, sir.”
“Okay, you go get used to your new identity. Also, pack your things. We will set off back tomorrow.”
“promise!”
After finishing the buffet breakfast, Russell was just looking for a chance to say goodbye to Cousin Mel when he saw the butler coming over: “Sir Russell.”
“What’s up?”
“The Knight Commander Buscok of the Round Table of the Great Scholars is here. He has specified that he wants to visit you.”
“Buscuk?” Russell nodded, “Invite him in.”
Buskuk was the knight commander who had escorted the two great scholars to the Black-loisted Snake Manor for inspection.
“Your Excellency Russell.” After Buskuk arrived, he immediately bowed and saluted.
“Hello, Sir Buscuck, please take a seat.”
“I learned that you are in the Red Keep. The Round Table of the Great Scholars specially asked me to come over and inform you that you can go to the Tower of the Great Learners to receive a Scholar’s Medal… This is specially awarded to the Scholars who have made outstanding contributions in the field of learning. Award medal.”
Not surprisingly, after the fertilization technology was verified, it quickly received praise from the Roundtable of the Great Scholars.
It was decided to award Russell the Scholar’s Medal.
“Can I collect it today? I plan to return to the territory tomorrow.”
“Can.”
“Okay, let’s go over there.” Russell didn’t care about a scholar’s medal. He just wanted to get it quickly and go home.
It wasn’t until I got to the Great Erudite Tower and actually received the Erudite Medal that I realized I had underestimated this medal.
Sapphire has the effect of concentrating and can make people concentrate. It is a very precious gemstone. Wearing this erudite medal with you can help the erudite quickly calm down and study and work more focused.
Compared with the ordinary scholar medals previously issued to distinguish status, it is undoubtedly several levels higher.
“Over the years, not many polymaths have received the Polymath Medal.” The person who handed out the medals was Russell’s old acquaintance, Robert the Polymath. “Basically, the polymaths who have received this medal will be promoted to the Polymath in the future. I would like to congratulate you in advance.”
“I’d like to lend you your kind words.” Russell smiled.
Whether it is a polymath or a great polymath, to him it is just a business card that adds icing on the cake.
For ordinary people, being a polymath or a great polymath is a way to advance to the nobility and join the upper class society. But for Russell, who was born in Rome and was a member of high society, there was no need to walk.
certainly.
If you can wear a scholar’s medal, you will receive a grand reception whether you are attending a ball or visiting the castle.
Especially when everyone is a noble, wearing such a medal will immediately highlight your status and directly widen the class gap with others.
“Our Great Scholars Roundtable is only an academic institution, so the only thing we can award you is this Scholar’s Medal.” Robert said, “However, the fertilization technology has been submitted to the Red Castle Elder Council. Perhaps the Elder Council will also There are new awards.”
“Yeah, that’s really exciting.”
“You deserve this. Your fertilization skills will definitely promote the national strength of the Grand Duchy, and the Red Castle will never be stingy with rewards.”
After chatting for a while, Russell said goodbye and left.
He had no intention of staying in the Red Castle and waiting for the commendation from the Senate, but the commendation from the Senate came quickly.
And the reward was so generous that it was beyond Russell’s expectation.
“This is the wheat elf in the elf paradise. He has not been named yet. Mr. Russell, please make a contract now.” The envoy who came to read out the award held a jade box and handed it into Russell’s hands. “After the contract, I You need to go back with the receipt.”
“Tsk, tsk, it turned out to be an elf!” Cousin Mel was standing nearby, exclaiming.
The accident came so suddenly, Russell never thought that the Senate would be willing to reward him with an elf.
Taking a deep breath, he quickly pricked his finger, and then stuffed the finger covered with jade powder into the mouth of the wheat elf.
“Woo…” The wheat elf was stunned for a moment. Before he had time to react, he felt a telepathy had been established. The hateful human in front of him who poked his mouth with his finger quickly became closer to him.
“Little guy, from now on, we are partners.” Russell took out his fingers and wiped them with a handkerchief.
“Buji?” The wheat elf tilted his head and looked at Russell carefully.
“Okay, Sir Russell, the Cordyceps has been taken back by the wheat elf. You can just go back to the territory and choose the wheat field to plant it.” The envoy who read out the award took out a document and said, “Please sign the receipt.”
“Okay.” Russell quickly signed his name and pressed his fingerprint.
Without him needing to prepare anything, Cousin Mel had already signaled the butler and gave several envoys gold coins as rewards.
The envoys from the Red Fort left happily.
Mel then said: “Actually, the result of the discussion at the Senate meeting was not the elves, but the plan to use an undeveloped wasteland in the volcanic oasis to kill the trouble. Especially Earl Osclo, who talked so brazenly about the retting technology It goes against the aristocratic demeanor and is not worthy of praise and promotion.”
“Is he mentally retarded? This is a technology that enhances national power.” Russell said in surprise.
“He just objected for the sake of objecting. Fortunately, after the commendation was presented to Madam Jian Guo, Madam Jian Guo took the initiative to bring out an elf and changed the method of awarding.” Mel blinked, “You are really amazing now, Even Mrs. Jianguo wants to win over you.”
After a pause, he murmured sourly: “Is it really different to be looked at by a giant dragon?”
