Chapter 158 Tobacco Elf Nicole
Roland's armor, Rowling's bracelet, Cooper's belt, and Lola's necklace are all made of the top magic creations.
"Russell, this is yours." Earl Merlin did not give the gift personally, but asked his personal valet Dylan to do it.
Dylan brought a large box and opened it. Inside was a pair of exquisite bows and arrows.
Earl Merlin smiled and said, "Knights charging is never the only choice, especially as a lord, you should have sufficient means to deal with possible changes. Therefore, bows and arrows are the best choice besides long swords and spears."
Russell's eyes lit up.
Not only because of this gorgeous bow and arrow, but also because of Earl Merlin's words, which made him deeply agree.
The lord shoulders the heavy responsibility of governing the territory and training knights. How can he charge at will? If he is not careful, he will die on the battlefield. In that case, the loss of the territory will be very huge.
So the best choice for the lord to shoot arrows from the back is.
"Thank you, grandpa!" Russell picked up the bow and arrow in the box.
There are twelve arrows in a bundle. They are not for battlefields, but for training.
As for the bow, it seems to be made of the bones of a fantasy beast, with a circle of fine metal wire wrapped around it and inlaid with several gems such as red, yellow, blue and green.
Regardless of whether this bow is practical or not, at least its value will not be low.
At least hundreds of gold coins.
The price system between the upper and lower levels of Longmian Continent is so unbalanced. If Russell did not have a good grandfather, he could not afford such a bow and arrow with his Black Waist Snake Manor.
It is difficult to support a knight team, let alone these gorgeous equipment.
Earl Merlin smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Russell tried the strength of the bowstring. He could not pull it open without invigorating his fighting spirit. Even if he invigorated his fighting spirit, he could only pull it open with difficulty, and he could not pull the bow full, which is not suitable for use now.
However, after Russell is promoted to a great knight, he should be able to pull this bow and arrow freely.
"Grandpa, does this bow have a name?"
"Yes, it's called the Light Snow Bow."
Russell was already satisfied with the gift of the Light Snow Bow. He thought that was the end of it, but he never expected that Earl Merlin had something else to prepare.
He looked at Viscount Major: "Where are Melinda and her two children?"
"My eldest sister and her family have left."
"You are still so petty." Earl Merlin frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Don't worry about them... Russell is an adult this year. I didn't prepare the adult ceremony in the Red Castle, so I will make it up for you today."
"Grandpa, it's okay." Russell said no, but his eyes lit up again. Who doesn't like gifts!
A Light Snow Bow is equivalent to the output of several years of farming in his territory.
Another one, and he can save ten years of struggle in his life!
However, this time, the personal servant Dylan brought a jade box the size of a shoe box and handed it to Earl Merlin.
Count Merlin gently opened the lid of the box, and inside was a sleeping elf, the size of a palm, with two transparent wings on its back and two green leaves on its head, drooling as it slept.
For a moment, Russell's breathing stagnated.
This is an elf!
It means 1,500 acres of potion, countless elf bugs for dozens or hundreds of years, and a large number of knights.
If the Light Snow Bow is a treasure that can be measured with gold coins, then the elf is a priceless treasure that cannot be exchanged for a castle.
At this moment, not only Russell was shocked, but the eldest brother Roland's eyes were wide open, and his eyes, which were originally white, turned completely red in a few seconds.
Rowling and the Cooper couple looked at each other and were equally surprised.
Although the Yu Jiuhua family is very rich, not only do they have two two-legged flying dragons, but also a big elf, and more than a dozen elves. But it is still incredible to take out an elf as a gift.
You know.
When Lady Meryl married Baron Roman, her dowry was only a little elf, which was too arrogant.
However, the expressions of Viscount Merlin and his wife, as well as cousin Mel, did not change, as if Earl Merlin had already informed them.
At this time, Earl Merlin said with some emotion: "This is the tobacco elf Nicole. I love smoking all my life. Since I was young, I have been interested in cultivating tobacco fields, just to cultivate the best tobacco leaves."
He spent half his life's blood and even got a trace of the dragon's origin, and finally cultivated a tobacco elf insect into the current tobacco elf Nicole.
"Nico is ten years old. I still remember the year I defeated Count Stonebreaker and was successfully elected as the chief executive of the Council of Elders. It was also the year that Nico successfully evolved, giving me a double surprise." Count Merlin sighed, "Now, let it witness Russell's growth."
"Father!" Lady Meryl immediately said, "This gift is too valuable!"
Baron Roman also said, "Yes, father-in-law, you should change a gift for Russell."
"What is valuable?" Count Merlin said calmly, "In my eyes, there is nothing valuable except the dragon in the volcano. And that dragon will only open its eyelids a few days a year to take a look at the territory."
He continued, "In these few glances, although nothing can be seen clearly, I believe it has noticed Russell."
These words made Russell's heart tighten.
But he soon felt relieved, and heard Earl Merlin say: "Two fantasy beasts, a few mushroom bugs, a mushroom bird, and a pearl. This is sufficient evidence. Since the dragon favors Russell so much, how can I not express my gratitude."
He patted the tobacco elf Neeko in the jade box to wake her up, then lifted her up and motioned Russell to come forward.
Russell glanced at his parents.
He also knew that this gift was too valuable, so he had to treat it with caution.
Mrs. Meryl was a little hesitant to speak, but in the end she did not stop Russell with her eyes, and Baron Roman nodded gently, his eyes full of encouragement.
After getting affirmation, Russell slowly stepped forward: "Grandpa."
"It's just a little elf, why are you dithering." Earl Merlin was a little dissatisfied with Russell's performance, "I have terminated the contract with Neeko, and it doesn't have an elf contract now, you come and contract it quickly!"
Elves cannot be contracted frequently, and a contract must be delayed for one or two years before the next contract can be started.
However, Neeko had not signed contracts frequently in the past ten years, so after Count Merlin broke the contract, Russell could sign directly.
"Huh?" Neeko was still a little confused and didn't know what happened.
Standing on Count Merlin's palm, she looked at the people around her with vigilance. Because the elf contract had been cancelled, she was obviously very insecure.
Fortunately, she had signed a contract with Count Merlin since the elf insect period. After decades of affection, she was still close to Count Merlin.
Dylan took the prepared jade powder and gave it to Russell.
Russell took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. After all, this was a coming-of-age gift from his grandfather to his grandson. There was nothing he was afraid of.
The jade powder obviously attracted Neeko. Neeko wanted to eat it, but she looked at Count Merlin again. With the encouragement of Count Merlin, she opened her mouth and ate it in small bites.
While it was not prepared, Russell stretched out his own cut finger and probed into the little guy's mouth. With a light bite of his fine teeth, the blood beads mixed with the jade powder entered Neeko's stomach, and then a wonderful reaction occurred.
It was a mysterious connection established in the dark with blood as the trigger.
In an instant.
There was a clear telepathy between Russell and the tobacco elf Neeko, and an elf contract was concluded.
"Gu huh?" Neeko tilted her head and looked at Russell, no longer afraid, but with a sense of intimacy.
"Neeko, come here!" Russell waved.
Neeko immediately prepared to fly over, but turned back and glanced at Earl Merlin, revealing a faint reluctance.
Earl Merlin smiled gently and said, "Go, little Neeko, go to your new master."
Then he looked at Russell again: "I gave you the tobacco elf, and there is another purpose, to return to the territory to grow tobacco well, and then make Yulong cigars. All the Yulong cigars that grandpa smokes in the future will be left to you."
Russell laughed: "Arrange!"
