Chapter 48 A heartwarming scene
"You picked up a birch fairy bug, and Eric was promoted to a fantasy beast knight?" Roland was dumbfounded when he learned about Russell's experience during this period at the dinner.
It has only been a month and a half since the coming of age ceremony when the territories were divided.
"There are also pearls. My father said that wearing pearls for a long time can moisturize the skin and keep the skin shiny." Laura took out a black pearl pendant from her collar. "I wear it all the time. It feels really good."
Rowling looked over curiously: "Pearl, where did this come from?"
"Russell gave it to me, and so did my mother and grandmother."
"Really, Russell." Rowling turned around, "Then you never thought of giving your dear sister a pearl?"
"have."
Russell calmly took out a small box from his arms: "It has been prepared for a long time, my dear sister."
Being prepared is Russell's principle.
Moreover, this cheap sister was a major harm to the Fluorescent Castle in the past, so Russell naturally had to carefully consider countermeasures and make pearls into jewelry early on.
He handed the box to Luo Lin: "A pair of necklaces, a ring, and my last two pearls were given to my sister."
Russell didn't keep any of the five pearls. Except for the three he gave away before, he gave away the remaining two small pearls. Otherwise, I would only give a small pearl. With Luo Lin's character, I don't know how she would go through all the trouble.
"Very beautiful!" Rowling liked this sparkling and round thing. "As expected of my dear brother!"
"This is too precious, Rowling. Russell has just received the enfeoffment after all." Cooper Tian Zicao whispered.
Rowling immediately rolled her eyes: "This is the love between our siblings, Cooper. You have no older sister or younger sister. Of course, you won't understand."
Cooper could only smile helplessly.
Russell smiled and said: "It's not expensive, it's just a bit rare. It's rare to find magical creations bred from river oysters."
"What about mine, Russell?" Roland asked casually.
Russell shook his head and laughed: "Pearls are good for beauty, but they are of no use to us, so neither you nor your father have them, and even I don't have them anymore."
Baron Roman looked at his second son's handsome face and felt inexplicably unhappy, so he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, men don't need to look good. Let the wind and snow leave marks on their faces. That's what knights should do." symbols of."
"I don't think so." Mrs. Meryl retorted, "You can leave scars if you like. I don't want any marks on Roland and Russell's faces."
While speaking, she took a special look at Russell and showed a satisfied smile.
She gave birth to four children, two boys and two girls, but only Russell's appearance satisfied her the most - talent and other things can be made up for by taking drugs and practicing hard. Whether he is handsome or not is a matter of life. thing.
After the dinner, the lords went back to their rooms to rest.
Only the Russell family was left chatting in another small living room.
Of course, Baron Roman and Roland were mainly talking about court matters, while Lady Meryl and Rowling were talking about life after marriage.
Russell and Cooper, as well as Laura, mainly listened in.
"The Grand Duke is indeed ambitious and wants to open up new territory. This can also better speed up the recovery of the Shadow Flame Dragon." Roland said, "Although the Snow Giant escaped with serious injuries, the Grand Duke is always worried that it will come back, so he also hopes to Through this approach, he was recognized by the Shadow Flame Dragon."
"What is the relationship between the Shadow Flame Dragon and the Grand Duke?"
"It should be okay. I rarely see the Shadow Flame Dragon. In the past few years, the Shadow Flame Dragon has been sleeping in the volcano. Only the Grand Duke often visits."
"Have you found any results in the investigation of the snow giant?"
"No, the snowfield is too big. The Red Castle has launched countless flying dragon search operations, but has not been able to find the snow giant's lair."
Roland said, and then comforted: "Father, you don't have to worry about anything. The situation of the Shadow Flame Dragon has been very stable these years, and the territories everywhere are warm and powerful, right? If the Snow Giant dares to set foot in the territory of his country, he will definitely be attacked by the Shadow Flame Giant." The dragon's head-on attack."
Russell asked curiously: "Since the Shadow Flame Dragon can rest peacefully, why is the Grand Duke so anxious to get recognition?"
The dragon can suppress a country and protect it for thousands of years.
But there are very few knights who can really be recognized by the dragon. Most of the time, the dragon is alone. It does not mean that he has the blood of the Shadow Flame family to drive him - after all, the power of the contract comes from The giant dragon naturally cannot restrain the dragon itself.
"The Grand Duke is still young, just like you, Russell." Roland said calmly, "It's normal to be eager to make a career, but I will give you more advice."
After saying that, Roland added: "The Grand Duke is still willing to accept my suggestions."
Baron Roman nodded and said: "It's good that you can establish trust with the Grand Duke. Roland, you have retired from the Dragon Blood Knights, but your contact with the Grand Duke must not be less. Not only should you exchange letters from time to time, but also keep in touch with the Grand Duke within a month or two. I have to go to the Red Fort.”
"Understood." Roland chuckled.
Then he joked: "If Mr. Ross can approve me, it will be much more convenient. I can fly back and forth between the Red Keep and the Netherworld Valley every day."
"You have to work harder to win His Excellency Ross's approval." Baron Roman said easily. He had already recognized the reality. There is a high probability that he will not get His Excellency Ross's approval in this life, and he can only place his hope on his eldest son.
"Then I'll go visit Lord Ross now. I just came back from the Red Castle and brought him some goodies."
"Go ahead."
"Russell, come with me?" Roland turned and asked.
Russell shook his head: "Go by yourself, brother. I don't know what I did to offend Lord Ross recently. He doesn't like me."
"Really? That's a pity." Roland said regretfully, but his pace was much lighter.
After Roland left, Baron Roman, Lord Cooper and Russell had nothing to talk about, so they listened to the gossip of the women together.
Which servant made a mistake and was hung up and beaten by the master; which lady made a fool of herself and became a laughing stock; and which comedy performance was good, which dress was more suitable for each other's temperament, etc.
It wasn't too late to talk, so the baron asked everyone to go back and rest.
Take a bath.
Russell returned to his original room, with the window open, just in time to see the tower on the city wall in the distance.
Lord Ross was squatting on the top of the tower, looking down at the entire Fluorescent Castle like a gargoyle.
Roland was lying next to Lord Ross's paw, half leaning on the tiles on the roof, staring at Lord Ross with burning eyes, and kept saying something.
Lord Ross occasionally exhaled a faint dragon breath from his nostrils, responding to Roland's words.
"It's a very warm scene."
Russell looked at it for a while, closed the window, lay on the bed and fell asleep quietly, and when the dark dream came, the entire Fluorescent Castle became the world of him and Xiao Menglong.
