Chapter 60 Second Duel
Compared with the welcoming ceremony at Fluorescent Castle, the welcoming scene at the manor's courtyard was really shabby.
Among the nobles, that is, the only noble standing on the left side of the gate is Russell. I brought along a broken man, Charles, and fortunately I also had the Phantom Beast Knight Eric to support the scene - although for the time being, outsiders did not know that he was the Phantom Beast Knight.
In the servant sequence, Butler Morris stood on the right side of the door with his head held high, and the three male servants and four maids beside him were also in high spirits.
Just for appearance, it stretches the crotch too much.
"Welcome, my sister, welcome, Mr. Cooper, welcome, Laura." Russell greeted them one by one with a smile.
"This place has not changed from before. I came to the Black-rumped Snake Manor a few years ago with Roland. He said that there are traces of the Black-rumped Snake King here, but unfortunately, the Black-rumped Snake King was not found." Luo Lin lamented.
"Not to mention the black-rumped snake king, even the black-rumped snake is very rare. After the farmland is reclaimed, it will be difficult for the black-rumped snake to survive here." Russell laughed.
"Liar, Russell!" Laura said angrily.
"Why?"
"You always said you wanted to bring me to Black-waisted Snake Manor, but you never brought me here. My sister brought me here!"
"I originally planned to take you out to play when I go to the Fluorescent Castle again, really." Russell touched his nose.
Perhaps it was because Laura had always been very quiet in the castle, and he always forgot about Laura every time he went there.
"Humph." Laura was full of resentment.
Because the arrival time was almost twelve o'clock, the group of people went straight to the restaurant on the second floor under Russell's greeting without chatting for a while.
The banquet was certainly not as luxurious as that of Fluorescent Castle, and Russell was not a particularly eloquent host, but with Charles's warm hospitality, the overall atmosphere of the banquet was quite pleasant.
Moreover, Mrs. Moore's cooking skills are indeed good, and the guests all enjoyed their meals, which is in line with the eating habits of this era.
Until the new fish soup was served.
"Russell, what kind of fish soup is this? It tastes so weird." Laura took a sip of the fish soup and said she couldn't understand it.
"Doesn't it taste good?"
"I don't know, I'm not used to drinking."
"Sister, Cooper, what do you think?" Russell turned to ask the Coopers.
Cooper smiled and said: "I think it tastes pretty good. Although it was a little strange at first, you can quickly feel it. Although the taste of this fish soup is light, it can taste the taste of the fish itself. I like it very much." "
"Really? That's great. It shows that we both have similar tastes." Russell felt happy to have found his soulmate.
This fish soup is the earthly taste he pursues.
At this time, Rowling raised her head and looked at Russell with complicated eyes: "Are you too poor to afford the condiments?"
"ah?"
"I only tasted salt in this fish soup, and not a single one of the many spices. Obviously, you don't have much seasoning at home."
"Not really, it's just that I prefer this bland taste."
"Don't hide it, my poor Russell." Rowling looked at Russell. She didn't seem to be teasing him, but really felt pity for him. "After the enfeoffment, the life here will definitely not be comparable to that of the castle. If you have time, you can do more." Go back to the castle for dinner, your parents will definitely not care about the extra tableware for you."
"Haha, you really don't have to." Russell smiled, "I live a good life here. This fish soup was improved by me in the kitchen."
Seeing the disbelief in Rowling's eyes, Russell had to explain a few more words: "Sister, you know that I am very interested in inventions now. The reading glasses I gave to my grandmother and this new fish soup are all... My invention."
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true, I will definitely get the title of Erudite."
"Okay." Rowling said, but looking at her expression, Russell knew that she didn't believe it at all.
This made Russell feel helpless. He was really not poor.
There is no need to feel so sorry for yourself.
After the luncheon, Russell specifically told Butler Morris: "Don't tell Mrs. Moore what my sister said at the banquet."
"I understand, sir, given Mrs. Moore's ability to bear it, her heart will be broken when she hears Miss Rowling's comments."
"Yes, I still need Mrs. Moore to continue to improve the recipe."
"Do you need to tell Mrs. Moore about Mr. Cooper's comments?"
"Um."
"In this way, Mrs. Moore will have endless motivation to continue to improve the recipe according to your preferences."
"That's it." Russell smiled.
Maurice also laughed. The young man liked to eat new things. This was a harmless habit, and he would try his best to satisfy it.
Afternoon tea.
The Coopers followed Russell around the manor, admiring the turbid water of the Youguang River for a while and looking at the green wheat seedlings.
The scenery is indeed beautiful, but you will get bored if you see it too much.
"Russell, let's duel." Rowling took out the red sword she carried with her. "In the past two days, I have carefully reviewed the gains and losses of the previous battle. This time, I will not make mistakes easily again and give you a comeback in which the weak defeat the strong. Opportunity.”
Russell was not very interested in this kind of house-playing battle.
But who asked Rowling to give him a mushroom bug as a gift for his coming-of-age ceremony, so at this moment he can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman.
"Sister, is there a possibility that I am not defeating the strong with the weak?" Russell held the green ceramic sword and held a sword flower in his hand.
"Have ambition!" Luo Lin raised her brows, "Come on, let's fight after this!"
Beside the dim light river, on the green grass, the two siblings fought again. Rowling's swordsmanship was much more stable than the last time.
However, in the end, Russell still won with the turtle fighting method.
The green ceramic sword accurately picked up Rowling's red sword, then pierced Rowling's clothes on her chest, and a strong force was swung on her inner armor, causing Rowling to fall on her butt for the second time.
"Sister, you are not the only one who has improved." Russell stretched out his hand and pulled Rowling up.
With the first defeat as a prelude, Rowling's mentality was much better when she lost the second time, at least she was no longer angry.
Just frowned: "How is it possible? I have clearly reviewed my mistakes! My fighting spirit is stronger than yours, I shouldn't be unable to beat you!"
"This is my excellence in skills and tactics." Russell took a breath and explained calmly, "I may be weaker than you in fighting spirit and martial arts, but physically, I have exerted male endurance, played to my strengths and avoided my weaknesses, and exhausted your physical strength, so the final winner is still me."
In fact, Russell's second victory was much more difficult than the first.
But victory is victory.
At this moment, Russell spoke with confidence: "Sister, this is a decline. If you can't break through the Great Knight as soon as possible and use fighting spirit to make up for your physical weakness... In the future, you may never have a chance to beat me again."
"Arrogant, ignorant!" Rowling shook off Russell's hand fiercely, "I won't be discouraged. Don't worry, Russell, wait for me to adjust my mentality and then fight again!"
"Anytime." After two battles, Russell has figured out Rowling's way, not afraid at all, and responded calmly.
Rowling stared at Russell fiercely.
After a while, she burst into laughter: "Good boy, you have grown up! I can't treat you as a child anymore."
Russell spread his hands: "It's true."
Rowling smiled mysteriously, then turned around: "Cooper, your wife has been bullied, why don't you come over and get back at her, and give Russell a little adult confrontation!"
