Chapter 312 Seizing the title of Shadow Flame's number one

Wearing the Erudite Medal, Russell returned to Phosphorus Castle.

Baron Roman still leads the knights, fighting in the ice and snow, hunting snow ghosts. Roland, who came back first, also joined the knights.

So in the Fluorescent Castle, Mrs. Meryl and Laura were still the only ones.

"It's unbelievable that my son is not only a powerful knight, but also a wise scholar." Mrs. Meryl was filled with emotion as she played with the scholar medal that Russell handed over.

Who could have imagined that the second son, who was so transparent in the past, would have achieved what he does now.

Laura stared at the wheat elf Whit who was a little shy and refused to live in the elf room and socialize with the elves in the Fluorescent Castle.

Whit's appearance is very ordinary, not as beautiful as Nico, the Tobacco Elf, or Luo Rui, the Rain Flower Elf, but the cluster of golden wheat ears on her head is very dazzling, making her a little more lively, noble and refined.

"Buji." Whit grabbed Russell's hair, stood on his shoulder, and glanced at Laura secretly.

Russell casually handed over a jade fragment for Whit to chew on.

Then he said to Mrs. Meryl: "You already knew, didn't you? I have invented reading glasses before, and I also invented cigars."

"Yes, I have known it for a long time, but those things are more like... casual gadgets, while the retting technology is different. This is a new technology that has been highly praised by the Roundtable of Great Scholars. Even Princess Anxia I’ll give you an elf to express my gratitude!”

Princess Anxia's status is still very high in the minds of noble ladies such as Mrs. Meryl. After all, her background is too high.

Kingdom princess!

The more aristocratic one is, the more one pays attention to the three, six or nine grades of blood. Even if Princess Anxia has a flawed reputation, she is still the most noble woman in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.

"Yes, Princess Anxia helped me a lot." Russell said with a smile, "The fluorescent mushrooms cultivated by Rosie can grow in the warm season of the Ice Age, and can continuously replenish the magic potion; the wheat cultivated by Whit can grow rapidly in one crop. Plenty of potions, I don’t have to worry about potions anymore.”

Compared with seasonal plants, such as rainflower, dill, and dandelion, the output of mushroom potions is stable and the output of food potions is strong. They are the bulk of the raw materials for magic potions and are of higher value.

"Now you have three elves to choose a surname from," Mrs. Meryl smiled.

Once he was promoted to baron and became a hereditary noble, Russell could give himself a noble surname and pass it on from generation to generation.

"I'm not thinking about that right now."

"It's time to think about it."

"Don't be in a hurry, mother." Russell shook his head. In fact, he was not very satisfied with the types of the three elves.

Tobacco and wheat are so commonplace that they have no real character as a surname.

As for the fluorescent mushroom, it actually sounds pretty good, but once the family is separated, he has to consider whether to change his surname.

The mother and son chatted about the elf for a while, and soon the topic came to the Populus euphratica desert.

"I really didn't expect Baron Gervidus to be such a shady person. He had already made a verbal agreement to marry, but he broke the contract because of a would-be dragon knight." Mrs. Meryl suddenly glanced at Russell, "It seems that no one has a dragon knight. Same!"

"Mom, please calm down. At least Miss Gwen's heart is with her eldest brother."

"This is the only good news for your trip." Mrs. Meryl shook her head. "When your elder brother came back and told me the news, I was so angry that I didn't sleep well for two whole nights... Your father would definitely be furious if he knew about it. "

"It's okay. Miss Gwen has promised to my elder brother that if Baron Gervidas wants to marry Drela, she will notify him in advance."

Russell comforted: "When the time comes, I will accompany my eldest brother to the Populus euphratica desert to see if Baron Gervidas really values ​​Drela so much, and would not choose her despite the good conditions of my Fluorescent Mushroom family!"

"Okay, you are brothers, you must help each other." Mrs. Meryl said happily.

Then he sighed again: "Although I have a good impression of Gwen, but if your eldest brother didn't insist on it, I wouldn't have wanted this marriage..."

"The eldest brother does get along well with Miss Gwen, and... the eldest brother doesn't want the family to lose face," Russell said.

In fact, Russell knew very well that it was more likely that Roland was worried about his face, and he didn't want to be manipulated at will anymore.

Today, if he is satisfied, he agrees to the marriage; tomorrow, if he is dissatisfied, he starts to break the contract again.

Who can swallow this breath!

certainly.

Gwen was probably Roland's best choice at the moment. With Roland's arrogance, it was obvious that he would not be able to get through this hurdle if he asked him to marry a woman of ordinary background. What's more, Gwen was already devoted to him and couldn't give up.

After Mrs. Meryl returned to the room to rest, Laura, who had been silent, suddenly pulled Russell: "Will Gwen be my sister-in-law?"

"Will do."

"Is she nice?"

"It's pretty good, at least in my impression he is indeed a nice person." Russell saw the uneasy look on Laura's face and immediately understood Laura's worry, "Don't worry Laura, no matter what kind of person Gwen is, you can do not be afraid."

"But..." Laura was still worried.

Although she is only twelve years old, she has seen many noble families fighting for power, including the Phosphorus Castle.

The insinuations and intrigues between Mrs. Meryl and Mrs. Ingrid were all seen by Laura. She disliked this feeling very much, but subconsciously felt that this kind of thing was common.

"There's nothing to worry about." Russell took the opportunity to comfort his sister and rubbed her hair. "You can rest assured. With me here, no one dares to bully you."

"Boasting."

"How can this be bragging? I, your second brother, am now invincible in the same level as the Fantasy Beast Knight!" Russell raised his head and said arrogantly, "And soon, the first master of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy will change hands."

"Who?"

"Me!"

"Who was it before?"

"Your grandpa."

Lola immediately rolled her eyes, then made a face and mocked, "Grandpa is a flying dragon knight, Russell, you are really good at bragging!"

"Tsk, what do you know as a child." Russell laughed, "I, your second brother, will soon be a flying dragon knight. When the time comes, I will challenge grandpa and snatch the title of the first master of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy and shock the world!"

Lola didn't say anything, but she looked contemptuous. Obviously, she didn't believe a word of Russell's words and thought he was bragging.

...

After staying in Fluorescent Castle for a night, Russell returned to the Black-waisted Snake Manor the next day.

It was still the end of the ice age when he left, but now the grass is growing and the birds are singing. The turbid water of the Glowing River is rolling, and it is almost flooding the small bridge on the river.

"Welcome home, sir." Butler Morris stood in front of the gate and meticulously lined up with the servants to greet him.

There were several hired workers around, who also stood far away and bowed to Russell.

Russell saw Jimmy, the clam keeper, who had just climbed out of the water by the pond. He walked towards the cigar courtyard and said to Butler Morris: "Call Jimmy over later, I want to ask about the river clams."

"Yes, sir." Butler Morris raised his foot and followed him in after Russell entered the cigar courtyard.

The servants followed him in one after another.

After Russell finished his shower and changed his clothes and went downstairs, he found that not only Jimmy was there, but also Charles, Eric and other important officials.

"My lord, our Black-waisted Snake Manor is really watched by the dragon. You have been recognized by the Great Scholars Round Table and rewarded by the elves. Her Excellency Katie has also successfully promoted to the Fantasy Beast Knight, becoming one of the few female Fantasy Beast Knights in the Grand Duchy."

As soon as Charles finished talking, Russell knew what he was going to say next: "Such festive events are coming one after another, we really should celebrate!"

"Celebrate." Russell was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Not only should we celebrate, let the people celebrate together and share the glory brought back by the lord."

In the previous few times, Russell was very low-key and did not hold a banquet.

Today, he finally got a response again, and Charles was very excited: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely let the people share your glory!"

"Okay, you sit here for a while and listen to Katie share her experience of being promoted to the Fantasy Beast Knight." Russell asked his followers to sit down, and he called Jimmy to go to the nearby clam pond.

He wanted to test the pearl harvest.
