Chapter 97: Elf Gathering
"Russell, why are you here?" The eldest brother Roland came downstairs to entertain Russell, "Father and mother took Lola to visit grandmother."
"Oh." Russell nodded, "I have something to ask father. Father is not here, and it's the same to ask you, brother."
"What is it?"
"I picked up another elf bug..." Russell didn't finish his words.
Roland shouted, "Fuck! What did you say? You picked up another elf bug... You picked up another elf bug?"
"You heard me right, I did pick up another elf bug."
Russell imitated Roland's surprised tone and recounted the facts, then said, "It's a dandelion bug. I want a dandelion potion planting information, and by the way, let my elf bugs come and meet Luo Rui, Tess and the others."
"Lucky guy!" Roland looked at Russell with envy and jealousy, "I wander around the foot of the volcano every day, and I haven't seen the Shadow Flame Dragon look at me. How did you catch the Shadow Flame Dragon's eye!"
He counted on his fingers, "First a birch worm, and then a A golden and silver wolfhound, then a bloodfang fungus worm, and now a dandelion worm... Oh, and a magic pearl, Lola shows it off like a treasure every day! "
The more he calculated, the more crazy Roland became: "Oh my God, Russell, you have been enfeoffed for less than three months, how come you have picked up so many treasures!"
"Hmm." Russell nodded involuntarily, "Brother, now that you said that, I also realized that the Shadow Flame Dragon really favors me."
He asked pretentiously: "Do you think the Shadow Flame Dragon has taken a fancy to me? Brother, do you think the Grand Duke can ride a dragon successfully? If not, if I want to ride a dragon, what conditions do I need? Can I marry the little princess of Kunlaya?"
"I said you are fat, and you are still panting!" Roland rolled his eyes.
"Just a discussion."
"Come on, I know your ambition. It turns out that you don't like Malena because you are thinking about Princess Kunlaya." Roland said with a sour tone, "I advise you to take a break. Your little tricks are not worth the Shadow Flame Dragon's blinking, let alone looking at you straight."
"It doesn't matter whether the Shadow Flame Dragon looks at me straight or not, as long as I can get the benefits." Russell said with a smile.
Although he would not compete with his elder brother Roland for the family property, why not tease Roland and make him anxious?
In any case, he is also the second heir to Baron Roman.
His elder brother Roland was always on guard against him like a thief, which made him a little dissatisfied after all - he had already made it clear that he would not ride Lord Ross again.
Teasing is teasing.
With the acceptance of the established facts, Roland was no longer shocked. After seeing the elf bugs brought by Russell, he immediately arranged for the old housekeeper Carter to send the seven elf bugs to the special elf room in the castle.
"I'll go with you to see." Russell said.
"Why, do you miss Luo Rui and Tess?" Roland got up and followed Russell upstairs, probably because he was worried about Russell being alone with the elves.
After all, in his mind, this castle, this clay dragon, and all the elves will be inherited by him.
No one else is allowed to get involved.
Russell nodded: "I did think about it. I haven't seen Luo Rui and Tess fighting and quarreling for several times when I stayed in the fluorescent castle."
"They have been fighting and quarreling, but they may not be very close to you, so they didn't get close to you."
"Well, is that so."
"That's right, they don't get close to me much, after all, it's the father and mother who have contracted with them." Roland shrugged his shoulders, "That's good, I can't stand these two little guys fighting all day long."
"If you can't stand it, you can give them to me. I like the hustle and bustle."
"Don't even think about it." Roland smiled and patted Russell's shoulder, "This is Luo Rui and Tess's home, they will live here for the rest of their lives."
Listening to the two brothers behind him, squeezing each other in words and deeds, the old butler Carter couldn't help but smile.
Fathers are kind and sons are filial, brothers are friendly and younger brothers are respectful, but this is not the norm in life. Only quarrels, mutual dislike and mutual concern can be the atmosphere of a family.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the elf room, before the old housekeeper Carter had time to insert the key, they saw a palm-sized cartoon doll flying out of the palm-sized window above the door, with transparent wings flapping behind it and a cluster of blue flowers blooming on its head.
This was the rain-long flower elf Tess, the dowry that Mrs. Meryl brought over that year.
At this time, Tess pinched her waist with a pair of chubby little hands, looked at Russell and the other two, and asked in a baby voice: "Wow wow wow wow!"
Unfortunately.
No one could understand what it was saying.
Roland waved his hand: "Tess, Russell brought a few elf bugs to meet you and have fun with them."
"Wow?" Tess tilted her head, not understanding.
"Chirp chirp." Another palm-sized green fat bird came out of the small window on the door. It was the mushroom bird Luo Rui - mushroom bugs are a branch of elf bugs, and mushroom birds are naturally also a branch of elves, but they are called separately because of their different forms.
"Luo Rui, you are out too, just in time, let's welcome new friends together." Roland greeted enthusiastically.
He is strengthening his relationship with the elves.
Although he will contract these elves when he inherits the title in the future, it is always a good idea to build good relationships.
Old housekeeper Carter had already opened the door of the elf room: "Two young masters, you can put the elf bugs in. When you leave, Master Russell, I will pick out the elf bugs one by one and bring them back to you."
"Okay." Russell opened the jade box, and seven elf bugs were sleeping lazily.
The elf Tess flew over quickly, grabbed a rain long flower bug, and screamed "wow wow", as if saying that she knew this elf bug.
Of course she knew it, because the rain long flower bug was originally given to Russell by Baron Roman.
But soon, Tess threw the rain long flower bug into the jade box with a click, and then grabbed a dill bug and continued to scream.
Russell's mouth twitched, but when he saw the rain long flower bug turn over and continue to lie lazily, he relaxed again.
After all, the elf bug is a magical creation, not so fragile, and ordinary falling and hitting is no different from tickling for them.
In short, in the slightly violent greetings between Tess and Luo Rui, Russell's seven elf bugs were all put into the elf room - there were rows of shelves around the elf room, and dozens of elf bugs from the fluorescent mushroom family were crawling around on these shelves.
"I hope this elf gathering can be of some use." Russell thought to himself as he watched old housekeeper Carter close the door of the elf room.
Elf gatherings are a means of cultivating elves.
The more noble the elves are, the greater the probability of evolution. Over time, people have concluded that elves need socializing.
Every social interaction can be regarded as an exchange of pheromones. The more pheromones are collected, the more it can stimulate the elf bugs to transform into small elves, and even small elves to transform into big elves.
Of course.
So far, there is no definite statement on how to exchange pheromones and how to increase the probability of evolution.
But elf gatherings have become a common practice among nobles.
