Chapter 83 Rumors about the Red Castle (Sixth update
The knight’s retinue brought over the cooked dinner. Being on the snowfield, it was naturally not as sumptuous as the dinner at Fluorescent Castle.
There were only a few grilled ribs, baked escargots, bacon, salted fish, and vegetable salad, paired with corn fritters, grape toast, and a cream of mushroom soup. Of course, the staple dish is the essential fish egg risotto.
At the end of the meal, there will be a crème brûlée for dessert.
While eating and drinking, Baron Roman talked with great interest about the lord experience he had gained from managing the Netherworld Valley for many years.
“Don’t control everything, but you must set a few thresholds…Give them a certain amount of freedom, but the price of freedom can be set higher…Don’t lock them in the manor, but make them unable to pay the price if they want to leave the manor. …”
The eldest brother Roland also added: “Give them a goal to move forward, but the goal must be in our hands. Just like the phantom beast, this is the private property of the Fluorescent Mushroom family and cannot be handed over easily.”
Said.
Roland patted Russell on the shoulder: “That golden and silver wolfhound Kevin, you made Eric a little too impatient. You should test his patience again.”
“Forehead……”
It was difficult for Russell to adapt to such a straightforward teaching of experience for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
In his previous life, when he reported good fortune, his boss probably did the same to him.
Although they are different worlds, human nature is the same. Power systems and social systems are all manifestations of civilization, and human nature is the underlying logic.
After eating and drinking, Russell left the coach’s tent with the way of being a lord taught by Baron Roman.
Baron Romain and his eldest brother Roland were left behind, still tasting the remaining wine, preparing to drink until the bottle was bottomed out.
“Russell is still a little immature.” The Baron sighed.
“He has just grown up and has just started to get involved in territorial affairs. It is inevitable that he will have many unrealistic ideas and then be hit by reality. But with the Fluorescent Mushroom family as his backer, he will be successful in his life.”
“You are right.” The Baron took a sip of red wine. “When I grow old, you will inherit the position of Baron and you must love each other like Uncle Rosen and I. After all, we are a family.”
“Of course, Russell and I are kissing.” Roland assured, patting his chest.
The baron nodded, but couldn’t help but added: “Rosen guarded the north gate for my family for me, and in the future, Russell will guard the south gate for your family. If you can make great contributions, Youguang Valley may not be able to continue to move north and south. expansion.”
“Father, please look at it. If I can successfully ride the dragon, I will definitely inherit my grandfather’s unfinished wish and win the title of earl.”
Roland looked at the top of the tent, with longing in his eyes: “At that time, let Grand Duke Kunstan ask the Shadow Flame Dragon to grant a dragon flame in the Nether Light Valley… Perhaps, a second pair of legs will be born at that time. Flying dragon!”
The Baron also admired this beautiful scenery.
However, the Baron was more realistic after all and said: “Don’t think too much about the future. Your main task now is to build a good relationship with the Grand Duke Kunstein. A good personal relationship with the Grand Duke is more important than making achievements.”
“The Grand Duke has great trust in me, and Father, you have never joined the Council of Elders, which makes the Grand Duke very satisfied.”
“The Council of Elders has assisted the government for twenty years. Although it has maintained the stability of the principality, it has also occupied many properties in the Red Castle.” The Baron shook his head and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to join, but in the early years I focused on the territory. When I return, Come on, the prince has grown up.”
“Yes, grandpa is a little unwise in this regard. The Council of Elders is about to be disbanded, and they are still staying in the Red Castle unwilling to leave… This has caused gossip in the palace, thinking that grandpa and Princess Anxia…”
“You bastard!” The baron glared, “You, as a grandson, can arrange this kind of thing at will!”
Roland shrank his neck and muttered to himself: “I didn’t arrange this, it was someone at the Red Castle who was spreading the news…”
“I think you need to relax, Roland!”
“Father, I was wrong!” Roland admitted his mistake promptly.
The baron sighed and shook his head: “I believe in your grandfather’s character. The old Earl Merlin may be greedy for power, but he will never be greedy for beauty… But after all, he was too obsessed with love, so that some people had to spread rumors to force him to He left the Red Fort.”
“Ah, what you mean, father, is that this might be the Grand Duke… Princess Anxia is the Grand Duke’s mother!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I haven’t been around the Red Castle for a long time and I don’t know anything.” Baron denied, “Don’t think too much. Building a good relationship with the Archduke is your top priority right now.”
“Yes, father.”
……
He is just an ordinary second son of a baron. If there is no great opportunity in this life, Lord Lord is probably the starting point and end point of his life.
Back in their tent, Eric and others had already eaten.
“Sir, would you like a cup of milk tea?” Tom, the knight’s retinue, was making milk tea on the bonfire.
“No, just drink it.” He just drank a lot of cream of mushroom soup.
The mushrooms in the cream of mushroom soup are the fluorescent mushrooms that are a specialty of the family. This is a magic potion soup, so naturally you have to drink it.
At this moment, the stomach is warm, and the trickling hot air hits the limbs and bones, and then is refined by the body, turning into wisps of fighting energy, which merges with the fighting energy in the meridians and grows stronger, increasing the strength.
So he sat cross-legged and meditated.
This is a way of practicing Dou Qi, called meditation.
It is to simply let go of the mind, return the dominance of the body to the body’s instinct, and let the fighting spirit circulate spontaneously in the meridians. Compared with thinking leading the movement of Dou Qi, this meditation method is not as efficient, but it is more comprehensive and subtle.
Thinking guides Dou Qi, and you can concentrate your strength to attack and dig out the main meridians.
However, in addition to the main meridians, there are also densely packed small meridians in the human body, which are invisible, intangible, and even vaguely felt. Therefore, it is difficult to dig out these small meridians by guiding Dou Qi.
If you want to be promoted to a great knight, not only the main meridians must be opened, but also these small meridians must be penetrated.
Therefore.
Meditation is particularly important.
Only by freeing your mind and letting fighting energy spontaneously impact the small meridians can you realize the dream of a great knight and lay a solid foundation for contracting fantasy beasts in the future.
In a trance, an hour of meditation passed by.
After getting up to put some water in the toilet at the cold spring point, Russell got back into his sleeping bag and fell into his first dream above the snowfield.
After a while, the dark dream came as promised.
“Gah!”
The little Menglong flapped its short wings and flew towards Russell.
Turning over and riding on it, the next moment, the entire dark dreamland instantly lit up, with countless magical lights blooming.
“Huh!” Russell covered his eyes with his hands, “It’s so bright. There has never been such a bright moment in the dark dream… The magical light of nearly three hundred knights was squeezed into the small cold spring point, tsk tsk. ”
After getting used to the brightness of the magic light, Russell carefully identified the light shining from these knights.
It can be clearly seen which knights are great knights and which ones are just costumed knights.
Similarly, the light of the Phantom Beast Knights is unique. Except for Chris, the guard knight captain who stayed at the Fluorescent Castle, the other seven Phantom Beast Knights in the Netherworld Valley gathered in this small cold spring point.
“It can be seen that the Yuan Qi in my father’s body is entangled with three powers. This is the third-level advanced fantasy beast knight… The Yuan Qi in Marcus’s body is two kinds of forces entangled together. It is the second-level advanced fantasy beast knight. Beast Knight… Everyone else has only one power, which is the 1st turn of the Phantom Beast Knight.”
certainly.
The brightest thing at the cold spring point at the moment is Lord Ross, who hangs upside down on the ice cap of the patio, like a big bat.
Emitting a bright red light.
“Okay, Sword Butterfly will lead the way, let’s go for a walk outside the cold spring point!” Russell gave the order, and Sword Butterfly danced forward. He followed closely on the little dream dragon and flew out of the narrow and blocked cold spring point.
Outside, a group of knights were patrolling nearby, and they had no awareness of Russell, Little Dream Dragon, and Sword Butterfly.
The dark dream is just Russell’s reality.
