After bidding farewell to the Fluorescent Mushrooms family, Russell separated from his cousin Mel. He was going to the Evernight Castle to visit Arnold Marquis of Sun.
The Evernight Castle is quiet today, without any of the hustle and bustle of the past.
All banquets, salons, and balls were thrown away by Marquis Arnold just to entertain the upcoming Russell.
A mere baron was obviously not worthy of Marquis Arnold’s trouble.
But if this baron is the number one person in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, has a glorious record of killing three dragons with one sword, and is also the dragon lord who survived a sneak attack by the Snow Giant, then all this is completely worth it.
“Haha, Sir Russell is finally here. I have been waiting for a long time.” Marquis Arnold greeted him in front of the castle gate.
His contracted bipedal dragon has long since returned to the Kingdom of Fiery Torrents, and the dragon’s breath cannot be replenished for a long time. It is now at the level of the Phantom Beast Knight, and it is not a powerful Phantom Beast Knight. He only has 2 turns.
Fortunately, he has a distinguished status, has the support of the Blazing Torrent Kingdom, and his status in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy is transcendent.
The last time Russell came to visit, he had to look up to the Marquis Arnold.
When he came to visit again this time, his experience was completely different. Marquis Arnold could no longer put any pressure on him.
“Since I was promoted to Lord of the Dragon Realm, I have been thinking about coming to the Evernight Castle to visit, and today I finally fulfilled my wish.” Russell did not show arrogance because of his increased strength, but his self-confidence was overflowing from the inside out.
“Haha, this is my honor.”
Looking face to face, Marquis Arnold could deeply feel the powerful aura and strong self-confidence exuding from Russell.
This self-confidence is not arrogance, but a firm belief.
“Escaped from the Snow Giant Da’s attack and was promoted to Dragon Territory Lord. I already have a clear understanding of my own power. I’m afraid it’s hard to fool me today!” Marquis Arnold thought quickly. change.
Then the two of them walked into the Nightless Castle side by side.
In the restaurant, after the guests and hosts were seated, the valet brought one delicacy after another, many of which Russell had never seen before.
“Come, Lord Russell, have a taste of the delicacies of my blazing torrent kingdom. The ice age blocked the road, so I used the fantasy beast knights to transport the ingredients, so that I could put together this table of authentic kingdom delicacies.” Marquis Arnold greeted.
There were plates in front of him, and the exotic food really whetted Russell’s appetite, and he started to eat it happily.
Enjoy delicious food while sipping wine.
A banquet for two people, with more than a dozen servants busy waiting on it, is indeed a luxurious enjoyment.
Russell, who has always been simple, had to admit that this feeling was very satisfying.
“No wonder everyone wants to be a noble, a great noble!” He sighed silently. This feeling of stars holding the moon is enough to satisfy anyone’s vanity.
but.
No matter how good the wine and food were, they could not sway Russell’s mind. When the wine was half drunk, he took the initiative to mention: “Marquis Arnold, it is almost April. According to the inference of the Round Table of Great Scholars, the warm season is coming. “
“Yes, the warm season is coming… If you hadn’t said anything, I would have almost forgotten that the Ice Age is not over yet.” Marquis Arnold said with sincerity.
The Evernight Castle is adjacent to Shadowflame Volcano, and there is never a cold day all year round.
If you live and die here for a long time, you will really forget the existence of the cold snowfield and wear away the knight’s will to fight.
“When the warm season comes, the trade between our two countries will also resume.” Russell used his fighting spirit to get rid of the slightly drunken feeling, “But for this year’s cigar trade, I think it is necessary to re-discuss the profit distribution. “
“Indeed.” Marquis Arnaud smiled, “I invite you to the banquet just to discuss this matter.”
He squinted his eyes and looked at Russell for the first time. This young and immature face was still so dazzling and even dazzling.
After a pause, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
Keep smiling and said: “I still remember that when you first came as a guest, you proposed a 50-50 split in the cigar trade. Now you have risen like a volcano, a flying dragon knight and a dragon domain lord. Even the kingdom was only born in history.”
“Thank you.” Russell smiled calmly, reserved and contented.
Russell’s smile gradually faded: “Marquis Arnold.”
“Just call me Lord Arnold, don’t mention me as Marquis.”
“Okay, Lord Arnold,” Russell said, “Things are different now. If you had accepted a 50-50 split back then, I would have kept this ratio forever, no matter what my status is. But now, I don’t accept a 50-50 split. “
Russell was not a good negotiator, so he did not play tricks and said solemnly: “This time, I will take 80% of the profit!”
“What!” Marquis Arnold glared, and the Dragon Knight’s aura instantly dissipated, “Sir Russell, are you kidding me?”
“This is no joke.” Russell was not afraid. The momentum of the Dragon Knight and Lord of the Dragon Territory spread out and directly suppressed the momentum of Marquis Arnold. “And I not only want 80% of the profit, I also want to expand the cigar trade between the two countries.” share of trade.”
“That’s impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible.” Russell smiled faintly, “When I first came to discuss the cigar trade, did you think that I could be promoted to Dragon Knight and Dragon Domain Lord? This time I still kept 20% of the profit. I’ll leave you alone next time.”
“Hahahahaha, your Excellency is indeed young and vigorous.” Marquis Arnold laughed angrily, “But you think about things too simply. Without the protection of my Fiery Torrent Kingdom, the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy will sooner or later become the food of the Snow Giant Da. And this is the essence of trade between the two countries!”
He looked at Russell and said unceremoniously: “If you don’t agree to a 50-50 profit share, then the cigar trade will be interrupted. This is the will of my Fiery Torrent Kingdom.”
“Become Snow Giant’s food?” Russell chuckled, “When I pierced Snow Giant’s forehead and severely wounded Snow Giant, I never thought that I would become Snow Giant’s food. On the contrary, I thought I ate the snow giant!”
“That’s ridiculous!” Marquis Arnold laughed wildly, “You are lucky enough to have escaped the attack of the Snow Giant Da. Do you really think you can defeat the Snow Giant Da by joining forces with the Shadow Flame Dragon? Are you lying? It’s okay to lie to others, but don’t lie to yourself.”
Crack!
The sword butterfly mark suddenly turned into a meteor butterfly sword, and Russell’s surging dragon breath directly used the fighting spirit dragon force, turning into a big hand to grab Marquis Arnold.
Marquis Arnold’s dragon breath was not supplemented by his flying dragon, and he was obviously unable to resist Russell’s grasp.
“Russell, what do you want to do!”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Russell directly grabbed Marquis Arnold, flew out of the Evernight Castle, and then communicated with the unicorn Baoli, instantly entering a fighting state.
Transformed into a three-meter-tall Lord of Thunder.
Holding the three-meter-long Meteor Butterfly Sword in his hand, he aimed it at the open space around the Evernight Castle and struck with a charged Mysterious Sword of Thunder.
Zhila!
Buzz! As if countless birds were screaming, the Thunder Sword was like thunder falling from the sky, directly piercing the earth, causing the entire earth to tremble.
The Nightless Castle next to it was shaking even more violently, and the magic-reinforced walls were cracked by the shock.
Not far away, Stormrage City was even more panicked. Many people ran into the streets, thinking there was an earthquake.
The thunder dissipated, but the electric light still flickered, leaving a bottomless and terrifying sword mark on the ground, as well as scorched spider web-like cracks that continued to radiate to the surroundings. The cracks were so big that they extended for several kilometers.
“Arnold, look carefully, can I severely injure the Snow Giant Da?” Russell teleported to Marquis Arnault like lightning and asked in a deep voice.
Marquis Arnold swallowed unconsciously, and his body, drained by the wine, began to tremble slightly. It took him a while to control the trembling of his body.
Then he took a deep breath and replied, “Not enough.”
“Huh?” Russell stared, filled with murderous intent.
Marquis Arnold quickly added: “But it’s enough for 80% of the profit! I am willing to continue to cooperate with you in the cigar trade. You will take 80% of the profit, and I will take the remaining 20% of the profit!”
