Chapter 17 Night by the River
After enjoying dinner, Russell decided to go to Potion Tunnel to keep vigil in person to ensure that the three Cordyceps plants could survive the first night safely.
"Russell, as a lord, you are too diligent, but in fact there is no need to be so nervous." Charles expressed his disbelief. "With Tom and the other knights in costumes keeping watch, Eric will also follow them, so there will be no mistakes at all. "
Russell smiled: "I understand, Teacher Charles, but I have already decided."
Seeing Russell's determination, Charles could only spread his hands helplessly: "Of course, you are the lord, everything is as you wish."
"Teacher Charles, you are staying in the manor's courtyard. There is no need to follow you."
"is this okay?"
"Nothing wrong, you are the civil servant of the territory." Russell did not ask Charles to stay up late with him. There is a difference between civil and military affairs. Charles' role is to help him manage the territory, so he does not need to stay up late with him.
Moreover.
Russell didn't really go to the vigil just for the sake of going to the vigil, he had other plans.
Charles was moved and bowed and saluted: "Russell, I really see the shadow of the Baron in you. You have completely inherited the excellent qualities of the Fluorescent Mushroom family... The dragon is watching, you will definitely be an excellent lord in the future. !”
"The dragon is watching, I will work hard to become a good lord." Russell would also say during the scene, everyone should carry the sedan chair.
As for whether the Shadow Flame Dragon of the Grand Duke's family can watch here, that doesn't matter.
"Eric, protect Russell and be alert at night." Charles warned Eric a few more words, showing that he cared about Russell.
Eric wanted to roll his eyes, but in the end he just replied in a muffled voice: "Of course."
Tents, campfires, sleeping bags.
Next to the thickest birch tree in the birch forest, Russell chose to camp here for the night, and beside him squatted the knight's retinue Jack.
It was said to be a night watch, but he just came here to sleep. The only people who really needed to stand guard all night were Eric and the four knights.
"Jack, if there is any trouble, remember to call me."
"promise!"
Yawning and turning over, Russell lay peacefully in his sleeping bag and started the vigil in the birch forest.
In a daze, consciousness once again descended into a desolate and dark environment.
There is no doubt that he has come to a new dark dreamland. There is no longer Line Castle or Line Manor.
This time, the dark dream was in a forest outlined by lines.
Before Little Menglong appeared, in Russell's eyes, the dark dreamland was completely silent and dark, without any light.
"Gah!"
Xiao Menglong arrived as promised.
When Russell rode the little dream dragon, it was like turning on the switch of a dark dream. All of a sudden, three lights appeared in the outlined woods.
Russell could easily tell the difference: "This one on the tree is the Cordyceps of the fluorescent mushroom worm; the one pacing here is Jack; and this bright spot should be my sword - the green ceramic sword, especially It’s this emerald, it’s so bright.”
The green ceramic sword was a gift from the baron to Russell on his birthday the year before last.
The main body is a ceramic sword made of clay nourished by a clay dragon, sintered and forged. At the same time, the sword master was asked to make grooves and inlaid with an emerald that has the effect of drawing fighting energy, so it is named the green ceramic sword.
The name is not very elegant, but the value is really not low. Just one of the emeralds is worth a lot of money.
"It's really strange. You can clearly see the magic light emitted by my sword, but you can't see the magic light emitted by my body... Could it be that I am no longer in the sleeping bag, but have entered this dark dream in my true body?"
Russell couldn't understand.
He still remembered that when he lived in Fluorescent Castle, he was not feeling very well the day he first crossed over. He went to bed early and rode around on the little dream dragon.
Then he saw his mother, Meryl, sneaking into the room and sitting by his bed for a long time.
If his true body entered the dark dream at that time, Meryl would definitely have noticed something unusual, but obviously Meryl saw him sleeping.
This means that he is really just dreaming, not actually entering a dark dream.
Looking down at the cartoon image of himself, Russell gave up looking for the answer. Waiting for him to explore slowly, he would get the answer sooner or later.
"There is so little light."
Except for three lights, all Russell saw in the woods was darkness.
Eric and others in the distance were probably out of the range of the dark dreamland, so they couldn't see the magical light they emitted.
"Take off, little Menglong!"
"Gah!"
With his tent as the center, the dark dream surrounded part of the birch forest and the dim light river. One person and one dragon flew in this forest, slowly looking for any unusual light, especially the dim light.
Unfortunately it was not found.
So Russell rode the little Menglong to the river again, wanting to try his luck and see if he could find a second river clam that could give birth to pearls.
After searching for it, I still couldn't find it.
"Nothing, Ice Cream." Russell touched Little Menglong's big head and decided to call Little Menglong Ice Cream from now on.
He remembered that before he traveled through time, he was run over by a garbage truck while eating Menglong ice cream.
God had his way, and God gave him a little dream dragon as a golden finger, probably to make up for his debt to him.
After all, on earth, his mortgage is about to be paid off and he is about to live a good life.
"Gah?" Xiao Menglong turned his head 180 degrees, expressing his disbelief at the name of the ice cream, "Gah?"
"What are you saying?" Russell yawned. He didn't know why he could yawn and feel sleepy in his dream.
"Ga!"
"Go back, you little fool."
"Ga ga!"
The man and the dragon flew back to the tent. Russell was ready to wait for Xiao Menglong to get tired and then automatically end the dark dream.
At this time, Xiao Menglong took him around the thickest birch tree and made a continuous ga ga sound, which seemed to be meaningful.
"Stupid, that's fluorescent mushroom cordyceps, I planted it."
"Ga ga!"
Xiao Menglong still circled around the birch tree and couldn't understand what Russell wanted to express. This mentally retarded look made Russell want to slap him.
But as Xiao Menglong turned in circles, Russell gradually found that he seemed to have misunderstood Xiao Menglong's meaning.
Xiao Menglong was not concerned about the fluorescent mushroom cordyceps, but the thickest birch tree itself.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't go around." Russell grabbed Xiao Menglong's dragon horn and finally forced Xiao Menglong to stop.
Approaching the birch tree, he carefully inspected it from the root upwards.
Then.
About three meters above the ground, Russell saw a dim light that was almost imperceptible. He was so focused on the light of the fluorescent Cordyceps that he had never thought that the birch tree could glow.
"The birch tree is glowing, as if something is being nurtured in the trunk... Could it be an elf worm?" Russell was suddenly surprised.
Dragons, wyverns, elves, potions, all power comes from the earth.
At this moment, the birch tree is naturally absorbing the power of the earth, nurturing a new, magical magical creation - the elf worm.
