Chapter 3 Mushroom Bird
"Master Russell, please hand me the reins."
"Master Russell, let me take off your cloak."
"Good afternoon, Master Russell, Madam just asked you if you are back."
Along the way, the servants of Fluorescent Castle warmly welcomed Russell, took away Russell's horse, took off Russell's cloak, and handed him a towel to wash his face and wipe his hands.
When you enter the castle hall with a fireplace, you immediately enter summer from winter.
He had shed all the fatigue from his travels and regained his image as the radiant, handsome and handsome second son of a baron.
"Master Russell, the master is in the study upstairs. Madam is teaching Miss Laura to settle accounts. Madam learned that you are back, please come over." On the edge of the corridor in the hall, the old butler Carter, who was holding a bunch of keys, said politely. Bowed.
In terms of etiquette, Butler Carter never wanted to be rude in any way.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Russell smiled slightly and naturally bowed to Butler Carter.
The width of the smile, the angle of the bow, and the strength of the movements are as if they have been trained with calipers and are impeccable.
Gentlemanly!
This is what nobles pay attention to.
His predecessor may not have been very good at practicing fighting spirit, but he never fell behind in his aristocratic etiquette lessons. After Russell fully accepted them, he became equally skillful.
Watching Russell go up to the second floor, the smile on Butler Carter's face still did not fade away. It was a smile from the heart, like an old father looking at his growing child.
He has never married and has been serving the Fluorescent Mushroom family since he was a child.
The young masters and young ladies were just like his own children. They grew up and regarded the Fluorescent Castle as their home.
Wait for Russell's back to disappear around the corner of the stairs.
He then put away his smile and returned to the majestic butler of the castle, carrying a bunch of keys and inspecting the servants at work in every corner of the castle.
"Wipe it, don't leave dust on the high places," he said to a footman who was cleaning the pillars.
The manservant immediately responded: "Okay, Butler Carter."
"Make way, make way." At the corner of the corridor, a young rough maid walked over quickly carrying a basin of water.
After seeing Butler Carter, he was startled and almost spilled the water.
Butler Carter frowned and scolded: "How many times have I told you that when you work in the Fluorescent Castle, you must get rid of all your bad habits. Daisy, this is the Fluorescent Castle, the most noble place in the entire Netherworld Valley, stop being careless!" "
"Yes, I'm sorry, Butler Carter, I will definitely correct it." Daisy shrank her neck and apologized softly.
Then he turned sideways and quickly walked around Butler Carter.
Butler Carter shook his head when he saw this. The quality of the newly recruited maids was worrying.
Second floor.
In the madam's room, Russell walked in and saw his mother instructing his sister on how to check and keep accounts.
"Master Russell." Several maids waiting on the side greeted him immediately.
Russell nodded to them, and then looked at his mother: "Butler Carter said you were looking for me, is there anything wrong?"
"Come here, sit down and talk."
"good."
Russell sat down on the chair next to him, and the maid brought tea.
Laura, the eleven-year-old sister, smiled at Russell with her lips pursed. She recently lost a canine next to her front tooth, so she didn't dare to open her mouth and smile.
Russell responded with a smile.
The mother looked at her grown-up son and said, "I have discussed it with your father several times. You proposed to move to the Black-loisted Snake Manor. We think we can take it slow and first match the servants in the manor's annex with your retinue." Qi. It’s neither far nor close, and it takes two hours to ride.”
"I can go back and forth every day and treat it as practicing fighting spirit." Russell said.
Moving out of the Fluorescent Fort was his stated goal. Not to mention that he would feel awkward when the family got along, and he felt uncomfortable just being stared at by Mr. Ross.
"Are you so impatient to leave home?" My mother complained a little sadly.
"Forehead……"
Seeing Russell's conclusion, the mother suddenly smiled: "Forget it, the children will have to leave home when they grow up. If you want to move there, you can move there."
"Um."
"I'll come back for lunch every day from now on."
"Okay." Russell nodded solemnly when he saw some wrinkles on his mother's face.
The eldest brother Roland serves in the Dragon Blood Knights of the Castle of Shadow Flame. The eldest sister Roland is already married. He and his younger sister Laura are the only ones in the family.
Now, he also has to leave home.
For her mother, Meryl Ujiuka, this is indeed another painful separation. However, Meryl was born into a noble family and knew that an eagle must go through trials and hardships before it can grow into an eagle, so she did not stop Russell's decision.
Mother, son, brother and sister had a conversation together.
Soon Butler Carter walked in: "Madam, Master Russell, Miss Laura, you can enjoy dinner."
"Where's the Baron?" Meryl asked.
"I have already informed the master. He will be down soon."
"What is there in the study that can attract him to stay there all day long?" Meryl complained as she stood up, "Mr. Carter, don't tell me that he can really read those large books, I don't believe it. "
Butler Carter showed a polite smile and did not respond.
The restaurant is also on the second floor. There are no electric lights, but there are many wall lamps on the walls. These wall sconces are embedded with luminous gemstones, emitting a soft and long-lasting light that keeps the dining room bright without hurting the eyes.
It's already dark outside.
Looking out of the restaurant window, you can see the tower not far away, and on the roof is the clay dragon Ross.
It can sleep in this position all night.
Before the baron arrived, two unexpected guests came to the restaurant.
One is a palm-sized fat green bird with patterns similar to fluorescent mushrooms; the other is a palm-sized cartoon doll with transparent wings on its back and a cluster of blue flowers on its head.
At this time, the cartoon doll was pointing at the green fat bird, squeezing tears and screaming.
"Lori, you bullied Tess again!" Meryl frowned.
The green fat bird named Luo Rui is the origin of the surname of the fluorescent mushroom family. It is a mushroom bird, a magical mushroom elf.
The other bullied Tess doll is the Yujiuhua elf, also a magical plant elf.
They are as magical creations as the wyvern.
Born from plants and mushrooms, it can plant its own magic potion anytime and anywhere, providing the Baron family with a steady supply of magic output.
"Chichichi!" The fluorescent mushroom bird Luo Rui landed on Meryl's shoulder, chirping, as if refuting something.
The rain elf Tess landed on Meryl's other shoulder, with one chubby hand pinching her waist and the other pointing at the mushroom bird Luo Rui, crying loudly.
I don't understand.
Russell doesn't understand the language of the elves. In fact, no one can understand the language of the elves, because the elves' calls are not language.
He looked at Luo Rui and Tess arguing, and was amazed in his heart.
Even if he has accepted the fact that there are dragons and elves in this world, no matter how many times he sees these magical little creatures, he will still be amazed at their magnificence.
Dragons produce metals and gems.
Elves produce magic potions, all kinds of plant magic potions, mushroom magic potions.
"Unfortunately, there are only two elves in the family, and my father only promised to give me three elf bugs. If I want elves, I have to cultivate them myself." Russell sighed slightly.
Elves evolve from elf bugs.
But the probability of elf bugs evolving into elves is very slim. The fluorescent mushroom family has only cultivated one mushroom elf in this generation, that is, Luo Rui.
As for Tess.
It was Meryl's dowry when she married into the fluorescent mushroom family.
