Chapter 285 The Tacit Understanding of the Dragon Knights
"Roman succeeded in riding the dragon?"
Looking at the news reported by his subordinates, Earl Merlin squinted his eyes and then showed a gentle smile.
"I thought Roman, this kid, was playing some tricks at the Elder Council that day. It turned out that he wanted to ride a dragon." He lit a Yunwu Yulong cigar and smoked comfortably, "The Will-O-Wisp family are all ghosts. Jealous bastard."
"Grandpa, did my uncle succeed in riding a dragon?" Mel, who was studying government affairs, asked in surprise.
"Just a few days ago, after the Council of Elders tried the clay dragon Rose, Roman successfully rode a dragon... It's nothing to wait until he is almost fifty years old to ride a dragon." Earl Merlin looked at the front end of the cigar, which still had unbroken ash. , "Far worse than his father Rhodes..."
It seems that when people get old, they always like to reminisce about the past, and Earl Merlin also unconsciously recalled things from long ago.
At that time.
He was about the same age as Rhodes. One was a hereditary heir to a large noble family, and the other was a minor nobleman who was just the son of a lord.
But the two trained together in the Dragon Blood Knights and fought side by side in the snowy fields.
Earl Merlin still remembered that Rhodes met the young Ms. Ingrid at a ball in the Red Castle. They fell in love at first sight and entered into a marriage contract. However, they were not yet old enough to get married.
In just a few years, Rhodes' father suddenly picked up a clay dragon, hunted the Snow Demon without any success, and was directly canonized as Baron of Dark Light by Quentin III Shadowflame.
Later, Rod Fluorosporus, who received the noble surname, married Ingrid and gave birth to Roman Fluorospora.
Later, Rhodes' father finally fell on the sick bed due to years of fighting. Rhodes inherited the position of Baron and was quickly recognized by the Clay Dragon, becoming the second generation Clay Dragon Knight. Then there was a matter of getting married between the two families.
"Your aunt was the dream lover of countless young people in the entire Grand Duchy at that time. Her reputation at the ball in the Red Castle was not much worse than your mother's." Earl Merlin slowly told Mel the past events.
"I believe that." Mel smiled. No one in the Yujiuka family is ugly.
"Roman is also a talented knight. Although he looks a bit ugly, he is handsome and sweet-talking. How can your aunt be able to resist... I can't beat Rhodes's persistent pursuit. In the end, Agree to get married."
Who knew that the good times would not last long, the Battle of the Fall occurred, Rhodes followed Quentin III, and Roman began to take over.
"I was looking left and right, but I didn't expect this kid to ride a dragon. I thought this would be it for the rest of my life. Who knew that today, this kid Roman would surprise me." Earl Merlin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's finally mine. I’m not blind, I married my daughter to a dragon knight!”
"Grandpa, do you need to congratulate your uncle?"
"What are you congratulating? I'm so late for riding a dragon for nearly twenty years. Is there anything worthy of congratulations?" Earl Merlin said with a straight face, "If you feel free, just go back and practice. Your current strength is probably even stronger than Russell's." Can't beat it."
"How come, Grandpa, I hit Russell with a pinch in his hand," Mel boasted.
"Russell's swordsmanship is beyond the capabilities of even this old man. Are you sure you can withstand it?" Earl Merlin tilted his gaze at his grandson.
Mel immediately said: "I will go back to practice right away."
"Go ahead, practice hard, and don't let me down... Each of Rhode's descendants is better than the last. My son has already lost, and my grandson must never lose to him again!"
Hearing Earl Merlin's words, Mel nodded repeatedly, but he didn't agree in his heart: "Russell and I are good brothers, it doesn't matter who is better than the other... In the future, I will ride a Mercedes, and Russell will ride a Medica. Lun, it’s also a good story about a monarch and his ministers.”
…
"After today, I will lead the Knights of the Netherworld Valley to fight on the snowy plains. One is to perform three years of hard labor in combat, and the other is to provide ice beads for Rosai's incubation."
In the study, Baron Roman was holding a wine glass and sipping red wine.
This is not a formal occasion, so there is no ban on drinking and banquets. The father and son are all holding wine glasses.
"Father, I will go to the snowfield with you to fight." Roland said.
"Let's make a contract with the Nightmare Ghost Horse first... I don't want an accident like Kunstein's to happen. Isn't it stupid for a mere great knight to take the lead?" Baron Roman dismissed the Archduke Kunstan, "Okay now, become It’s a joke that probably made everyone in the Fiery Torrent Kingdom next door laugh.”
Roland looked at the ceiling awkwardly. In his heart, Grand Duke Kunstein was a wise king with great ambitions.
Baron Roman said to himself: "Kunstein should be allowed to come to our Fluorescent Mushroom family to learn what it means to be low-key. Even Russell, who has been promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight, knows how to hide behind the knights. He, a great knight, has forgotten everything."
"Well, father, although I practice the family's way of survival, I'd better not mention this kind of thing." Russell was a little embarrassed.
In the battle of the second fall, he was rowing and playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
Baron Roman nodded: "Then I won't say anything."
Now he will no longer regard Russell as the little transparent second son he used to be. He can be looked at by the Shadow Flame Dragon and is about to become a dragon knight. Russell can be said to be a big shot in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Therefore, Baron Roman will take Russell’s words seriously.
This is a tacit understanding between the dragon knights. As the eldest son, Roland cannot understand this yet.
I just felt that all of my father's love was suddenly transferred to Russell.
So he felt a little sad, but soon he cheered himself up - Russell would create a new family sooner or later, and everything in the Valley of the Glow would belong to him.
"Father, Russell, after I contract the fantasy beast, I will rush to the snowfield as soon as possible."
"That's right, the three of us, father and son, will join forces to revitalize the Fluorescent Mushroom Family... No matter what surname you change to in the future, Russell, you are a blood branch of the Fluorescent Mushroom Family." Baron Roman raised his glass, "Let's drink to victory together."
"Drink to victory."
"Drink to victory!"
After drinking a glass of red wine, Russell said: "Father, I will buy the ice hail beads obtained from the battles of the Knights at the price of one gold coin for one ordinary ice hail bead, and ten gold coins for one high-quality ice hail bead... Of course, I don't have money to give for the time being, and I will pay it back when my territory has income."
Russell has been divided out, so naturally, he has to settle the accounts.
This is not her mother's dowry, which can subsidize her son at will. This is an investment and return between the two families.
"Okay, but you don't have to rush to pay back the money. You can pay it back when you have more money." Baron Roman said generously.
In the past, he had to settle the business tax with Russell for the trade of Yulong cigars.
Now, with such a large investment, there is no need to set a repayment date. It can only be said that this is a different time.
Or.
This is also the tacit understanding between the dragon knights. Only when you stand at the peak of strength can you look down on everything and act spontaneously.
Roland didn't understand, and he felt a little sour in his heart.
