Chapter 38: Rules
"Oh my god, Eric is so lucky!" When Charles learned what happened in the morning, his mouth was almost crooked with jealousy.
Contracting a fantasy beast, promoted to a fantasy beast knight.
For a knight, this is like being hit on the head by the feces of a giant dragon, rather than simply being watched by a giant dragon.
"Teacher Charles, if you can cultivate to become a great knight, you may not have the opportunity to contract a fantasy beast." Russell was in a good mood.
Eric was his follower. Now, he will have a fantasy beast knight subordinate, and the sense of security of the territory will be fully raised.
In the future, when sleeping at night, there will be no more fear of assassins breaking in.
"I... Oh, I'd better forget it. I don't have the talent to cultivate fighting spirit... In fact, I also worked hard when I was young, but I didn't succeed." Charles was still annoyed, "Oh my god, when I see Eric again, I have to call him Sir!"
There is a huge gap between a knight who contracts a fantasy beast and one who doesn't.
The entire Youguang Valley has a population of more than 60,000. So far, including the newly promoted Eric, there are only eight fantasy beast knights.
It can be said that these eight fantasy beast knights are the combat power ceiling of the Valley of the Light - Lord Ross is not included.
"Then you have to adjust your mentality as soon as possible, Mr. Charles."
"Alas, how come... Sir, can you tell me how Eric got so lucky to become a fantasy beast knight? I can't figure it out, how did the half-ghost beast evolve into a fantasy beast and was contracted by Eric?"
"Maybe the dragon paid attention to this place and healed Kevin." Russell smiled casually, "Don't you always say that the dragon is watching me? It's that simple."
"Uh..." Charles was speechless.
He found that his master was quite good at telling jokes.
But on second thought, this joke seemed a little... somewhat logical. Since Russell arrived at the Black-waisted Snake Manor, he first ate a river clam to catch a pearl, then placed Cordyceps and got a birch worm, and now a half-ghost beast came, and it actually evolved into a fantasy beast!
Thinking of this.
Charles couldn't help but raise his head carefully and look at the sky outside, muttering to himself: "The Shadow Flame Dragon of the Grand Duke's family won't really be watching here... I'll have to go to the wine cellar less often to steal wine."
If the Shadow Flame Dragon finds out and sprays down with a mouthful of dragon flame... the result will be disastrous.
Eric and the wolfhound Kevin walked outside until noon before rushing back. One person and one dog were panting, but they were in high spirits.
"My lord!" Eric's always stern face was now filled with a chrysanthemum-like smile.
"Awoo." The wolfhound Kevin also walked to Russell and rubbed Russell's pants affectionately with his head. Although it has become Eric's contract partner, it still knows who is its savior.
"Come on, let us welcome the new fantasy beast knight Eric!" Russell took the lead in applauding.
Butler Morris brought servants, and Charles reluctantly brought four knights to applaud Eric together.
The fantasy beast knight deserves such courtesy.
Eric accepted the greeting frankly, then put away his smile and said seriously: "Sir, the news of my promotion to the Magic Beast Knight should be blocked first."
"Why?"
"It won't be too late to announce it to the public after we deal with the lone wolf Lisbon." Eric said, he always remembered the hatred of the invasion of the snow ghost. This was a provocation of the lone wolf Lisbon to the Black Waist Snake Manor and a provocation to Russell.
And provoking Russell is a provocation to all of Russell's followers.
"Okay, Butler Morris, let the servants keep the secret." Russell said, and then looked at Charles and others, "You are the same. You are not allowed to disclose this secret when you go out. Whoever discloses the news, I will punish him severely."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes!"
"Okay, although the news must be blocked, it does not prevent us from holding a celebration banquet. Drink as usual, but don't get drunk."
"Sir, you are always so wise and generous!" Charles laughed.
"Don't get drunk, Teacher Charles, you still have to supervise the construction of the windmill in the afternoon." Russell couldn't help but remind him again.
"Don't worry, sir."
After lunch, no one dared to get drunk because of Russell's instructions, so everyone could work soberly in the afternoon.
Charles went to Alfalfa Village to supervise the construction of the windmill.
Russell took Eric and the wolfhound Kevin to patrol the territory. Although the wolfhound Kevin was promoted to a fantasy beast, there was not much magical about it except for the gold and silver eyes, so there was no need to worry about others seeing that it was a fantasy beast.
"What does Yuanxi feel like compared to Douqi?" Russell asked.
He was full of curiosity about the Fantasy Beast Knight. Although his father, Baron Roman, was already a high-level Fantasy Beast Knight, he rarely told his predecessor about the Fantasy Beast Knight. He just asked his predecessor to practice Douqi with peace of mind and not to be too ambitious and impatient.
So he still had a vague understanding of the Fantasy Beast Knight.
Eric pondered for a moment and replied, "Battle Qi is like a horse, it needs to be controlled and pulled by someone; Yuanxi is like a part of the body, it is natural to use it... I am not proficient enough now, and I have just started to get used to Kevin."
"I see." Russell roughly understood.
He did not continue to ask, after all, he was already a serious dragon knight, and it was not surprising that he was just a fantasy beast knight.
If Xiao Menglong was indeed a dragon.
With the Phantom Beast Knight accompanying him, Russell felt that this time he was patrolling the territory, and he felt very safe. He no longer had to worry about a group of snow ghosts suddenly appearing and threatening his life.
"The agricultural development in the territory is still too lagging behind." He pointed to a piece of farmland and lamented, "The land is barren and lacks livestock and farm tools. We rely on serfs to manually grow some wheat, barley and lentils, and the output is too little."
Eric is silent, he is only responsible for the security of the territory, not the production of the territory.
Russell didn't ask him to answer. He just sketched out his ideal blueprint and planned how to build the manor in the future.
When Russell's interest subsided, Eric said: "Sir, do you want to inform the Wildcat Sisters?"
Kevin has been revived and even promoted to a fantasy beast.
Russell has gone above and beyond to fulfill Katie's request.
But he shook his head: "There is no need to look for the wild cat sisters. Wait for them to come to your door. After all, they are the ones asking for help."
Although it was his first time to become a lord, he had been influenced by the Baron in his previous life, so he naturally knew some of the lord's methods in communicating with people, beasts, and dragons. Being too enthusiastic and eager would always lead to inferiority. Only by being patient can one take the initiative.
"Yes, sir." Eric nodded.
"Why do you think Katie and Catherine are called Wild Cat Sisters instead of Wild Dog Sisters even though they have a dog with them?" Russell suddenly discovered a blind spot.
Eric couldn't answer: "I don't know."
"It doesn't matter. Regardless of whether it's a wild cat or a wild dog, you must abide by the rules when you return to the territory." Russell is a person who pays attention to rules at heart. This may be the reason why he can adapt to his identity and integrate into this world so quickly.
certainly.
What he prefers is to let others abide by the rules he sets.
