Chapter 175 Returning
"Half-step knight, what a nondescript name!" Earl Merlin walked into the training ground, "What are you thinking about all day long?"
"grandfather."
"Grandpa."
Russell said hello quickly.
Earl Merlin pulled out a fine steel sword from the weapon rack and looked at Russell: "The fighting energy is exhausted. Can we still fight?"
"Grandpa, are you going to teach me something? Of course you can!" Russell said happily. The handsome old man in front of him was a flying dragon knight.
The number of flying dragon knights in the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy can be counted on one hand.
"It's not a teaching, it's a competition, a pure swordsmanship competition, pure swordsmanship!" Earl Merlin held the stainless steel sword, and his whole aura changed instantly.
Like a sword drawn from its scabbard.
Russell held the stainless steel sword in both hands, also bursting out with unstoppable momentum, facing Earl Merlin head-on from a distance.
moment.
The two of them collided with each other. The stainless steel swords of the same specifications in their hands kept clanging, and they fought for more than ten rounds in one breath.
Seeing Viscount Major and Cousin Mel, they were overwhelmed.
But soon the two figures became faster and faster, and the long steel swords clashed rapidly, not only making a crisp sound of gold and iron, but also accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
No fighting spirit.
This is a pure battle between swordsmanship.
As quickly as it came, it ended just as quickly. In less than half a quarter of an hour, snap, the two stainless steel swords broke at the same time.
The figures of Russell and Earl Merlin were also separated at the touch of a button.
Earl Merlin stood with his hands behind his hands without blushing and panting heavily, while Russell held his hands on his thighs and panted heavily.
"Grandpa is amazing!" Russell praised sincerely.
Only with the blessing of the sword butterfly and amber worm can he achieve the perfection of his swordsmanship, but Count Merlin does not have the amber worm - Russell carefully observed Count Merlin in the dark dream, and there was no light from the amber worm.
In other words, Earl Merlin's swordsmanship was completely acquired through his own training.
This has to be admirable.
"You're such a good little will-o'-wisp." Earl Merlin praised, then turned to look at Mel, "Mel, in your opinion, who wins and who loses between me and Russell?"
Mel smiled and said, "Grandpa, you must have won."
"blind!"
"Forehead……"
"Major, what about you, can you tell who wins and who loses between Russell and me?" Earl Merlin looked at his son again.
Viscount Major smiled and said: "Father, do you want me to tell the truth or lie?"
"truth."
"The truth is that you lost and bullied the small ones, breaking Russell's stainless steel sword."
"Haha!" Earl Merlin was not angry when his son revealed the truth. Instead, he burst into laughter. "Yes, I used some tricks, otherwise the scene would be a bit unsightly. You must know that I have competed with others over the years. I have never taken advantage of it." Take the best!”
His swordsmanship was defeated by Russell this time.
Then he patted Russell's shoulder heavily: "I am already looking forward to seeing how far you can go in the swordsmanship in the future!"
Russell smiled and said: "I hope to climb higher!"
Viscount Major sighed with emotion: "Your fighting spirit talent is average, but your swordsmanship is amazing. In time, you will definitely be a powerful fantasy beast knight. If you work hard, it is not impossible to find a dragon rider from Archduke Kunstein." "
Just as the Yujiuka family has many elves, the Shadowflame family of Red Castle also has many bipedal wyverns.
However, although there are many bipedal dragons, there are not many knights in the family who can ride dragons.
So a policy was introduced, and those great knights and fantasy beast knights who were amazingly talented and had the qualifications to ride dragons were introduced.
As long as you serve the Shadowflame family wholeheartedly, you will get a chance to ride a dragon.
If you successfully ride a flying dragon and perform outstanding military exploits, the flying dragon can be used as a reward and given to the dragon knight to help the dragon knight create a new hereditary noble noble and guard the frontier for the Red Castle.
Wait for Earl Merlin and Viscount Major to leave.
Mel directly hooked Russell's shoulder and said happily: "Russell, do you want me to make a name for you? You are the one who defeated the flying dragon knight Merlin! You must know that my grandfather has encountered many challengers over the years, but no one has Can shake him!"
It can be said that apart from the Shadow Flame Dragon, Earl Merlin is the strongest person in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
"Forget it, grandpa will beat me."
"How could it be possible? My grandfather has already withdrawn from the stage of the Red Castle. Next is the era of you. If I use my grandfather to become famous, my grandfather won't care."
"Farewell." Russell said, "I don't want to assist Grand Duke Kunstein either."
Mel's eyes lit up: "Heroes see the same thing!"
Therefore, the matter of becoming famous will not be mentioned again.
The two of them went to bathe and change clothes. When they met again later, Russell said: "Cousin, we have been here for almost a month. It's time for me to say goodbye and leave."
"So urgent?"
"I'm a little worried about being away from the territory for too long."
Mel wanted to say that there was nothing worrying about an estate as big as the palm of his hand, but seeing the seriousness in Russell's eyes, he held back, sighed and said: "Well, since you want to go back, then I I won’t keep you any longer.”
"good."
"But remember, you are always welcome at Sanchahekou, and I welcome you to be my vassal at any time."
"Okay, when I figure it out, I'll come over and join you." Russell smiled.
So at dinner that day, Russell solemnly bid farewell to Earl Merlin and Viscount Major and his wife.
…
The next day, October 9, 5581, Dragon Calendar, was a sunny day.
Russell, carrying two carriages full of gifts, was escorted by a team of knights from Bluebird Castle and set off on the return journey.
Cousin Mel accompanied him throughout the journey.
After a half-day journey, they arrived at the manor at the starting point of the Shuanghe Trade Road and stayed there. That night, the two brothers got drunk, but they did not sleep in the same bed - Mel had a lover in this manor.
Early the next morning, Russell was ready to set off.
Mel, with dark circles under his eyes, hugged Russell for the last time, then yawned and said, "There are so many ladies in the entire Sanchahekou, but none of them makes you fall in love. Russell, if it weren't for your often lecherous eyes, I would have doubted your sexual orientation."
"Please continue to look for me, Mel, and pay attention to whose girl is about to grow up." Russell smiled and got on the horse.
He gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and then shouted without looking back: "Goodbye, Mel!"
"Goodbye, Russell!" Mel waved.
The knights escorting Russell also greeted Mel, and then surrounded the carriage and slowly set off.
"Captain Karis, please be sure to protect Russell's safety." Mel urged.
"Please rest assured, Master Mel." As a fantasy beast knight, Captain Karis beat his chest with his right hand and made a knight's salute.
The team drove out of the manor under Mel's eyes, galloped all the way to the west, and could no longer be seen after entering the mountains.
Russell walked at the front of the team.
Looking at the snowfield getting closer and closer, he clearly felt the heat in his palms. He spread his hands and the M-shaped mark on his palms was already burning.
This is the little dream dragon being restless.
After staying in Sanchahekou for a month, it has not been able to eat ice hail beads and ice soul beads for a long time. At this moment, it feels the breath of the snowfield and wants to eat a lot!
