Chapter 309 Baimaigen's plan
"Father, there is no need to offend the Ghost Fire Family so harshly, right?" In the study of Poplar Castle, Grongo Baimaigen asked in confusion, "Grongtan has always been a troublemaker, and it is not necessarily that Russell deliberately humiliated him."
"What a shameful bastard, why mention him!" Baron Gwidas was still angry, "They are all second sons of the family, who is more noble than who, and they are rushing to be followers of others! It is really a shame for my Baimaigen family!"
After scolding the unpromising second son, Baron Gwidas said: "If we don't offend the Ghost Fire Family, how can we let Baron Roman retreat... Since our family has decided to stand on the side of Queensley, we should not be indecisive."
Grongo disagreed with this: "Father, eggs cannot be put in one basket!"
He thought for a while and added: "And Gwen obviously has a good impression of Roland. To be honest, there is no need to separate her and Roland... No matter what So, if Baron Roman can ride a dragon successfully, Roland will also have the opportunity to ride a dragon in the future. "
"How many years will it take to ride a dragon in the future? Baron Roman is in his prime, and his family has only one dragon, so they take turns riding it?"
"But I don't know if that kid Drella is true or not, and he may not be able to ride a wyvern."
"With our support and the support of the Sunflower Family, if he still can't ride one out of the Dragon Garden, it can only mean that I am blind. In short, Drella will become a powerful helper for the family and play an important role in the selection of the young master."
After saying this, Baron Gvedas sighed: "The Shadow Flame Dragon is dormant, and the Elders' Council has been divided into three factions. No matter how strong the control of old Earl Merlin is, he has to bow his head in the selection of the young master. Who told his grandson to choose the young master?"
"Is the Grand Duchy really hopeless?" Gelongo lowered his head. He served in the Dragon Blood Knights since he was a child. He has always been loyal to the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame and the Red Castle.
"Independence, annexation, etc., will not prevent us from inheriting the throne... It's just that the Shadow Flame Dragon has been hit hard one after another, so we have to find a big tree to rely on... The Blazing Torrent Kingdom behind Baron Kunbif and Marquis Arno is the most suitable tree."
"But I still think it's difficult. The Shadow Flame Dragon may not bow its head."
"Whether to bow or not, the Shadow Flame Dragon has no choice..." Baron Gwidas sighed, "Grongo, my son, don't think that your father likes to do this kind of thing... If the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family has many descendants, if the Shadow Flame Dragon regains its glory..."
Baron Gwidas didn't continue to say the rest of the words.
Grongo nodded and sighed: "I know, father, you made this choice with good intentions."
Baron Gvedas smiled with satisfaction and said: "I hope that the Shadowflame Duchy will always be warm from now on, and I hope that the Shadowflame Dragon will be safe for the rest of its life. As long as the snow giant Da can be eliminated, independence does not matter. The Shadowflame Dragonblood Family exists in name only, so it doesn't matter if we sacrifice some of the interests of the Red Castle."
"Yes, the most urgent task is to eliminate the snow giant Da. It would be difficult to rely on the Shadowflame Dragon's own strength."
Grongo agreed with this.
But he also had concerns: "If the Kingdom of Blazing Torrent really annexed the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, I wonder if it will plunder too much."
"It will definitely be plundered, but that will be a headache for Queensley after he becomes the Grand Duke. No matter who is in charge of the Red Castle, whether it is Queensley and Shadow Flame or the Dragon Knight King, we will always be needed to help him govern the territory."
After a pause, Baron Gwidas said to Grongo seriously: "I will never get the recognition of Gler and His Excellency in this life, but you are different. You must continue to persevere in attacking Gler and His Excellency, understand!"
Gler and His Excellency is the two-legged flying dragon of the Baimaigen family, a bismuth dragon.
"Yes, father."
"Only if you become a dragon rider can you have a say in the future contest for the selection of the prince, and even contribute to the battle."
"Father, do you really think that the future contest for the selection of the prince will require fighting?" Groongo was a little skeptical. "The two dragons, the Fiery Dragon and the Torrent Dragon, are forcing the Shadow Flame Dragon to bow down. How dare the other two families start fighting?"
"Don't be so naive. Even if the Shadow Flame Dragon is willing to bow down, it will never give up power easily. Everyone will eventually fight and compete with each other. This is also the reason why I don't want to marry the Ghost Fire Family. Gwyn... She is weak and can't lead the Ghost Fire Family."
The father and son chatted about the situation in the world.
As for the little things between Russell and Gronttan, they didn't take it to heart anymore - the insignificant second sons of the two families were just fooling around.
That is, Russell was looked at by the Shadow Flame Dragon.
Otherwise, in the big game of selecting the prince, he would not even be considered a piece of scraps.
...
Coming and going in a hurry.
In early June, the brothers Roland and Russell returned to the Red Castle.
Although both brothers had vowed to return to Poplar Castle in glory, this did not stop them from being busy in the Red Castle.
Roland was busy socializing with old friends, attending dances, and comforting his former lovers. Russell, on the other hand, took his cousin Mel to continue promoting Rain Dragon cigars, and discussed how many cigars to sell to the Principality of Blazing Torrent every year.
One was making friends, the other was making money, and they were very busy and completely forgot about the humiliation suffered by Poplar Castle.
Of course.
This was only on the surface. In fact, Russell was determined in his heart. The Cloud and Rain Dragon cigars he sold were settled with ice hail beads.
These collected ice hail beads were immediately fed to the black oil dragon eggs.
Making money is not the goal, raising dragons is the key.
Fortunately, only wyvern eggs need the nourishment of ice graupel beads. The wyvern that has been born can no longer swallow ice graupel beads. Otherwise, the great nobles would definitely be reluctant to trade the ice beads, and would keep them for themselves to feed the dragons.
certainly.
This is also related to the policy of the Red Fort. The Red Fort only links the Ice Beads to gold coins, and does not link them to merit like the Ice Soul Beads.
Once it is linked to meritorious deeds, Russell will not be able to earn even a single Ice Bead from the market.
"Now the whole Red Keep, as well as Stormrage City, has formed the custom of smoking cigars." In the small castle, Cousin Mel sighed while smoking a cigar, "Russell, you are going to make a fortune. !”
"Cousin, you have to work hard. The order at Sanchahekou is not ideal. Obviously your publicity is not enough." Russell also smoked a cigar.
"Don't worry, everything must start from the Red Keep and Stormrage City first, and then the country nobles and knights will follow suit." Mel smiled, "But the cigar you gave Marquis Arnold really worked. , the promotional effect of Evernight Castle is so good.”
The Evernight Castle is now the fashion center of the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Marquis Arnold smoked Yulong cigars several times at balls and banquets in the Everlasting Castle, which quickly triggered a trend throughout Stormrage City.
Much more popular than the one caused by Lord Merlin.
After all, in the minds of ordinary people, Marquis Arnaud, who came with the torrent dragon, was the benefactor of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy. He saved the Shadow Flame Dragon from danger and saved the Grand Duchy from the brink of collapse. His influence was truly huge.
Marquis Arnaud has a high status, great influence, and loves literature and art. His every move is more dazzling than that of the Dragon Knight.
Of course, Marquis Arnaud himself is a dragon knight.
"It's good that the publicity effect is good, but the endorsement fee I paid is also a lot." Russell lamented, "Marquis Arnold is so greedy. The Yulong cigars added to the trade list took away 80% of the profits. I just Can I have some soup?”
Mel narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's okay to be greedy. I'm just afraid that he won't be greedy enough and wants more."
