Chapter 328 The advantage is mine
At the end of August, Russell was promoted to the 2nd-level high-level fantasy beast knight in a low-key manner.
At the beginning of September, the eldest brother Roland received a letter from Huyang Gobi, signed by Gwyn Baimaigen.
"Zhan Xinjia..."
After reading the contents of the letter, Roland's emotions were very complicated. The content of the letter was as expected. Gwyn told him that Dreila came to visit Huyang Castle, and her father, Baron Gwydas, had agreed to the marriage.
Gwyn insisted on not agreeing, but it could not affect Baron Gwydas's attitude. Now she could only delay the time of the engagement.
"If you really love me, Roland, please come to Huyang Castle to fight for my father. I don't want to have regrets in my life. I like you who are humorous and humorous, not some other dragon knight. For me, dragon knights are not important..."
At the end of the letter, Gwyn boldly expressed his love.
But Roland couldn't tell his inner feelings for a while. Some time ago, he asked himself more than once: "Do I really love Gwyn?"
The answer is cruel. He may not really love Gwyn.
Especially for an aristocratic heir like him, who had been entangled with many lovers early on, his love had long faded.
It was impossible to say that he fell in love with Gwen at first sight.
For him, Gwen was more like the best answer after careful selection and weighing of pros and cons. Even Roland knew that for Gwen, he might also be the best answer after repeated comparisons.
What is love?
No matter how vigorous the love is, it will eventually return to the trivialities of life. No one can live a lifetime with love. At least Roland has never seen such an example - even his parents who have a harmonious relationship, Baron Roman is still playing outside.
So Roland did not choose Gwen because of love or not, but just because he had a good impression of each other and his status was compatible.
"Then should I give up Gwen?" Roland asked himself again.
He and Gwen are indeed the best answers to each other, but now there are too many interference factors in this answer.
Baron Gvidas's attitude is the biggest interference.
After all, aristocratic marriage is about a combination of interests. If the combination brings contradictions, it is completely unnecessary.
There may not be many nobles in the Shadowflame Duchy, but there are many small nobles. It is easy for Roland to marry a wife. He does not need to hang himself on a tree.
But Baron Gvedas went back on his word and did not give the fluorescent mushroom family any face. Not only did he and his brother Russell lose face, but also his parents, Baron Roman and his wife. After the news spread, the whole family would become a laughing stock.
No one would blame Gvedas for not keeping his promise, after all, it was just a verbal agreement.
They would only laugh at the fluorescent mushroom family being looked down upon and Roland's incompetence, and even couldn't keep the woman he wanted to marry.
So Roland quickly rejected this idea: "No, I don't want to give up Gwen!"
He took a deep breath and held the letter tightly in his hand: "Whether it is to prove that I am not incompetent or for Gwen's love for me, I can't retreat to Baron Gvedas. I must go to Poplar Gobi again!"
Pause.
He flattened the letter again, folded it and put it away.
Suddenly, he was full of enthusiasm: "Besides, my father is a dragon knight, and my brother will soon be a dragon knight. The advantage is two to one. Drela is not my opponent, and Baron Gvedas can't stop me!"
No one can stop Roland from marrying his wife!
Getting up and leaving the room, Roland went straight to Baron Roman who was drinking tea and reading the newspaper: "Father, I'm going to Poplar Gobi."
"Are you sure?" Baron Roman raised his head and glanced at Roland.
"It's confirmed."
"To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to Gwen. I don't know if she will be a good daughter-in-law, but since you and your mother like her, let's decide it." Baron Roman put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up calmly.
The majesty of the dragon knight was revealed at this moment: "Gvedas, a mere man, dares to look down on my fluorescent mushroom family. I want to see where this guy gets the confidence to bully my fluorescent mushroom family for many years of low-key!"
"Thank you for your help, father." Roland bit his lip and choked.
"Don't be timid, hold your head high, this family will be handed over to you sooner or later. Go, tell your mother, and then go with your father to marry the future mistress." Baron Roman said loudly.
Roland nodded heavily, his fighting spirit was already high: "Yes, father!"
When Roland went to find Mrs. Meryl.
Baron Roman immediately asked the servant to call Kendall, the chief of the territory patrol knights, and ordered: "Go to the Black-waisted Snake Manor and inform Russell that Roland and I are going to the Poplar Gobi. If Russell is not in the territory, go to the snowfield about 50 kilometers east of Jiandao Mountain to find him."
"My lord, the snowfield is so big, is there a more specific location?" Kendall asked.
"When you fly in the sky, you will see a big pit with soil exposed on the ground. That's where Russell is." Baron Roman smiled slightly. Russell had told him about the planting of the black oil dragon, and he had also gone to see it.
Now that the black oil dragon is about to be born, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"Yes." Kendall took the order and left.
Watching Kendall leave, Baron Roman nodded with satisfaction, thinking in his heart: "Although I am a dragon knight, this hottie Gvedas has obviously chosen a team and may not bow to me. If Russell is included, it should be a sure win!"
There is only one flying dragon in Huyang Gobi.
Two to one, the advantage is completely in the hands of Baron Roman.
After Roland and Lady Meryl made it clear, the father and son set off immediately.
Baron Roman, like Roland, did not ride the clay dragon Ross. He also rode his contracted fantasy beast - Nightmare Ghost Horse - the flying dragon knight did not ride the dragon every day, and he had to cultivate feelings with the fantasy beast and pursue progress.
Riding on the horse, Baron Roman looked back at the Fluorescent Castle and muttered in his heart: "It's a pity that I can't see Russell riding the dragon in the first time... I hope that after he rides the dragon, he can rush to Huyang Gobi as soon as possible to increase his momentum."
As if they were in sync, Roland happened to ask in a low voice: "Father, Russell... should be able to arrive in time?"
Almost at the same time, the father and son placed their hopes on Russell.
...
At the same time, Knight Commander Kendall did not find Russell in the Black-waisted Snake Manor, so he entered the vast snowfield according to Baron Roman's instructions.
It was the hot summer season, and the Knights of the Valley of the Dark Light had cleared out many times, and Xiao Menglong swept across every night.
The snowfield was clean, without a single snow ghost.
"Let's fly higher and see if we can find the big pit that the adults mentioned." Kendall communicated with his fantasy beast, the Aurora Falcon, in his mind. At this moment, he was in the state of taking a photo with the fantasy beast, and a pair of wings appeared behind him.
The Aurora Falcon is famous for its speed, which is why Kendall can serve as the Knight Commander of the Territory Patrol. He can rush to any place where something happens as soon as possible.
At this moment, flying quickly in the sky, he soon found a big hole on the snowfield ice cap.
After landing.
He saw the magma lines in the big pit. At this moment, he was stunned, and then thought of something incredible.
Before he could think clearly, he saw Russell walking out of the tent in the big pit, and shouted in surprise: "Sir Kendall?"
At this moment, Kendall was blessed with a heart, jumped directly from the top of the ice cap, and then beat his chest with his right hand to salute: "Sir Russell..."
