Chapter 34 Katie
After doing some calculations, the gold coins and materials were enough to keep the manor's courtyard running for half a year. After half a year, the magic potions and crops should be harvested, which was just in time.
What's more.
Russell can still go to Fluorescent Castle from time to time to enjoy the autumn breeze. All in all, the lord's free life does not need to worry too much.
"Cheers, Maurice."
"Cheers, sir."
After finishing a glass of red wine, Morris wisely picked up the bottle of red wine and left.
Russell also took a shower and went to bed. Perhaps it was the story Lord Atlas boasted in the afternoon that made him fascinated, and he was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
I always think about dragons, wyverns, snow giants, snow demons, snow ghosts and the like.
"The weakest snow demon can't match the combat power of the Phantom Beast Knight. I'm still far behind... Set a small goal first and penetrate the meridians of the hand as soon as possible!"
Then, turn over.
He thought again: "It is said that if you make a contract with a dragon, you can be directly promoted to a dragon knight. Why do I ride Ice Cream every day, but I don't see Ice Cream helping me, covering my fighting spirit with dragon flames, allowing me to reach the sky in one step?"
Finally, he came to the conclusion: "It seems that the ice cream is still too weak, and this little dream dragon is not working hard enough!"
In order to help the little dream dragon grow up, he decided to hunt snow ghosts when he had the opportunity and save enough ice beads to feed the little dream dragon.
Thinking of this, Russell felt sleepy finally coming.
However, before he could fall asleep, there was a knock on the door: "Master, have you gone to bed? Miss Katie is looking for you downstairs, saying that she has made an agreement with you."
"Miss Katie?" Russell frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Yes, Butler Morris, please invite her in."
When Russell got dressed and went downstairs, he saw a woman who looked similar to the previous assassin Catherine, sitting on a chair, flipping through a knightly novel he brought from Phosphorus Castle, titled "After the Smoke Dragon Dies" s story".
"Ms. Katie also likes to read knight novels?" Russell looked at this woman with a burning gaze.
Compared to her sister Catherine, Katie looks younger because the nasolabial folds on her face are not very deep.
Moreover, her facial contours are also softer, and she looks a bit harmless and neighborly.
But Russell would not be so naive as to think that this person is harmless. You must know that it is not an easy task to win the title of Wildcat Sister in an environment like a cave. Maybe he has been contaminated by a lot of people in invisible places underground. Human blood.
Hearing Russell's question, Katie quickly stood up.
He closed the knight novel in his hand and bowed: "I just flipped through it to see what the lord's favorite novels are about."
"It tells the story of a smoke dragon that died and possessed a knight named Lister, taking him to fly and save the world." Russell explained casually, "Novel that kills boring time is not worth studying. "
"Men, especially knights like the Lord, should all have dreams of saving the world, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. For example, I just want to protect my own territory." Russell stretched out his hand to say hello, "Sit down and talk, no need to stand."
Katie waited for Russell to sit down, then followed suit and said softly: "First of all, I would like to apologize to your Lordship for my sister Catherine's rudeness that day. I am sorry that you have to hear our sisters' names in this way."
"It's indeed a bit rude." Russell raised his eyebrows, "It once made me wonder if my manor had no gate."
"Um..." Katie finished.
Russell said something sinister, suppressed Katie's momentum, and then said seriously: "Ms. Katie, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it straight to the point. I am a straightforward person, and I hope my friends will be straightforward with me."
"Your Excellency, are you willing to be friends with the untouchables in the cave?" Katie narrowed her eyes.
"Why not? As long as he has upright character and has the same interests as me, I won't have any concerns unless he is a snow ghost."
"You are indeed an outstanding lord with an open mind."
"Your sister seems to have said so." Russell accepted it calmly. In his self-feeling, no one is better than himself.
Katie complimented appropriately: "Because it's obvious to all, especially after you hunted the snow ghost attracted by the lone wolf boss."
Russell smiled.
But he was not lost in the flattery and asked again: "So, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"The main purpose has been mentioned just now, which is to apologize for my sister's rude behavior." Katie replied, "Of course there is also a side purpose. There is a half-ghost beast in the Xiangshui River Cave. I would like to ask you to take action. Treatment."
"Half-ghost beast, what the hell?"
"It's a phantom beast that failed to evolve, my lord." The answer was not Katie, but Charles, who had just finished getting dressed and came downstairs.
As for the Great Knight Eric, he appeared quietly in the corner of the living room at some unknown time, holding a stainless steel sword and staring closely at Katie.
After Charles sat down, he continued to explain: "In the process of evolution of beasts, the power of the earth takes the lead, and they can evolve into phantom beasts. However, some phantom beasts are unfortunate enough to evolve in the snowy fields, and then they are disturbed by the power of the snow demon. , it will degenerate into a half-ghost beast.”
Katie said: "Yes, half-ghost beast, if the two forces conflict, the result will be disastrous...so I would like to ask you to help me."
There is basically only one ending for a half-ghost beast, which is to degenerate into a ghost beast.
Charles rolled his eyes: "Just kill him, why go to all the trouble."
Russell also couldn't understand that if it was a phantom beast, there would still be a need to save it. A half-ghost beast that had failed to evolve was worthless.
A trace of anger flashed in Katie's eyes, and then she said calmly: "This half-ghost beast has been the companion that Catherine and I have raised since childhood. It can be said to be our relatives. Therefore, Catherine and I are unwilling to give up. it."
"Maybe what I said is cruel, but the half-ghost beast is a foregone conclusion... If you wildcat sisters are reluctant, you can bring it over and let me help." Charles said in a deep voice, thinking that his act of helping others was a gentleman.
Hearing this, Katie's face darkened and she looked at Russell: "Your Excellency, if you don't want to, forget it. There is no need to say such things."
Charles looked innocent: "I just told the truth."
Russell saw this and comforted him: "Teacher Charles also has good intentions. Ms. Katie, don't worry yet."
"Perhaps I came here today because I was ill and sought medical treatment."
"You're here, why not give it a try."
"What do you mean?"
"You can send the half-ghost beast here first. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will definitely give you a result that I will try my best." Russell said calmly.
Katie thought for a moment.
Then he stood up, took a deep look at Russell, and nodded slowly: "Okay, I believe that the Lord is an upright man. I will send the half-ghost beast over at the entrance of the underground section of the Youguang River in the middle of the night, Your Excellency You can send someone to receive it.”
Russell smiled and said: "No problem."
"Regardless of success or failure, you just need to do your best, and we, the wild cat sisters, will be considered as owed you a favor." Katie bowed and saluted, "If you save the half-ghost beast, then... we, the wild cat sisters, are at your disposal."
After that, don’t stop anymore.
He turned around and left the manor's courtyard, disappearing into the dark night.
After watching the figure go away, Russell turned back to the living room and ordered: "Teacher Eric, please arrange for the knights to wait at the entrance of the underground river in the middle of the night."
"No." Eric responded in a muffled voice.
