Chapter 21 Elf Contract
"The dragon is watching you, Russell. I'll tell you, the Grand Duke's Shadow Flame Dragon is always watching you!"
Charles shouted excitedly, even shaking his body under the birch tree and dancing the classic solo cha-cha.
"Good luck." Russell smiled charmingly.
"Congratulations, sir." Eric congratulated in a muffled voice.
Butler Morris smiled from ear to ear: "Master, you are a natural noble, watched by the dragon and blessed by the light. As soon as you arrived at your territory, there were elf worms born. This is simply the best blessing, just like what is described in knight novels!"
"It is indeed a good blessing." Russell accepted everyone's congratulations frankly.
The value of an elf worm is difficult to estimate with conventional property, because it can grow magic potions and magic materials, which are extraordinary things.
But under the smile, Russell's eyes still have a trace of worry.
The joy of getting a wild elf worm cannot dilute his concern for Xiao Menglong, which is the real capital for him to settle down.
And he also likes the cute and silly little dragon.
"Russell, it seems that you still have to keep watch under the birch tree to ensure that you can contract the elf worm as soon as it is conceived." Charles suggested.
"Of course."
Russell responded.
Although everything produced in the territory belongs to the lord, the elf worm is too valuable. In case of an accident, no one dares to take the risk.
"Teacher Charles, you go to supervise the construction of the windmill mill, no need to stay here with me." Russell dispersed the crowd of onlookers, "Teacher Eric, you don't have to be too nervous. No one should dare to destroy the Black Waist Snake Manor."
Eric replied: "I am not afraid of the territory, but I have to beware of the Xiangshui River Cave and never give the free people a chance to take advantage of it."
"Do the free people in the Xiangshui River Cave dare to cross the line?"
"When Knight Kendall patrolled the territory, the free people in the Xiangshui River Cave were very honest, but now the Black Waist Snake Manor is no longer within the patrol range of Knight Kendall, it is hard to say." Eric explained realistically.
Kendall is the patrol knight leader of the Valley of the Dark Light, a fantasy beast knight, with great strength, able to intimidate the villains.
But Eric is only a great knight, without such a strong deterrent power.
"Okay, Mr. Eric, please take care of the protection of the elf bugs." Russell smiled, not arrogant.
Eric nodded heavily.
All day long, he took four knights to patrol in turns. Whenever there were serfs approaching, they immediately drove them away and did not allow any outsiders to set foot in the birch forest.
Meals were brought by servants from the manor villa.
At night, several bonfires were lit to ensure that the area around the birch trees was illuminated.
Lying in the sleeping bag, Russell fell asleep quickly with anticipation, but it was a pity that it was another night without the appearance of the little dream dragon.
When it was almost dawn, he was awakened by Eric: "My Lord, the elf worm has hatched!"
"Has it hatched?" Russell quickly got up and rushed to the birch tree in three or two steps. He happened to see the spores of the branch burst, and a snow-white elf worm crawled out of the spores and lay lazily on the trunk.
Holding the trunk and jumping lightly, Russell jumped to a height of more than three meters, and then gently pinched and caught the elf worm in his hand.
After landing, observe carefully.
The birch elf worm is not snow-white all over, but like the trunk of the birch tree, there are some not very obvious black stripes in the white.
But no matter what, it is very beautiful.
After leaving the mother body, that is, this sturdy birch tree Cordyceps sinensis, the birch elf worm was obviously a little anxious, twisting and turning on Russell's palm to escape.
But when Russell took out the prepared jade powder and sprinkled it on his fingers, the birch elf worm seemed to smell delicious food, and began to crawl towards the jade powder and nibble it in small bites.
Russell found the right opportunity and directly put his finger in when the birch elf worm opened its mouth.
Then there was a slight pain.
The skin on the fingertip was bitten open by the birch elf worm's tiny and sharp teeth, squeezing out a drop of blood and seeping into the birch elf worm's mouthparts.
In a moment, a mysterious feeling came over him, and Russell had established a spiritual connection with the birch elf worm.
The elf contract is so simple, it can be easily concluded with blood as the medium and magic as the driving force.
A elf worm can only be contracted once a year.
So it is difficult for elf worms to trade frequently.
"Congratulations, sir!" Tom and other knights and followers congratulated Russell.
"Okay, the birch worm has been contracted, and we can evacuate here. Let's go back to the manor villa to take a good bath and make up for the sleep." Russell made a decision immediately, "Hold a banquet at noon, and drink malt beer as much as you want!"
"Blessed by the light, the glory belongs to the sir!" The knights and followers cheered.
Eric also grinned, but quickly suppressed it and continued to maintain his usual serious style.
As soon as Russell finished breakfast, Charles came downstairs with his hair loose: "Just heard from the butler William that Russell, you have contracted the birch worm. Oh my God, it really gave birth to a fairy worm. Praise the dragon! You must drink as much as you can tonight, especially the black pearl wine!"
"You still have to take it easy, Mr. Charles, there is not much black pearl wine left."
"Haha, you should send someone to report the good news to the Baron immediately. Maybe the Baron will send a new batch of black pearl wine to congratulate you." Charles rolled his eyes and thought of how to get some money.
After a few jokes, we got back to the point.
Russell said, "Now that we have birch worms, will the birch forest evolve into magic potions or magic materials?"
"It should evolve into magic materials, and with birch worms, the expansion of the birch forest will become very easy. But we have to wait until the birch forest evolves before collecting tree species and using new magic material species to expand the scale."
"The fluorescent mushrooms are currently planted on birch trees. Teacher Charles, will there be any problems if these two kinds of magic potions and magic materials are planted together?"
"This..." Charles shook his head, "I really don't know. You should go to Fluorescent Castle and ask the Baron."
"Okay, after the lunch banquet, I will go back to Fluorescent Castle and stay there at night. You and Teacher Eric will take care of the territory."
"Leave it to us!" Charles patted his chest and promised.
"After drinking at noon, you are not allowed to drink again at night."
"Of course, of course, my Lord Russell, I, Charles, am not a drunkard, but just a gourmet who likes to taste fine wine and delicious food."
Russell did not comment, turned around and said: "Butler Morris, remember to lock the wine cellar at night."
Morris responded: "As you wish, sir."
Charles immediately put his hands on his head and cried out: "Oh! God, Russell! Can there be any trust between people!"
