Chapter 336: The Elders' Council's Response
The Senate Hall.
Earl Merlin is reviewing a receipt, which is the receipt from Lord Croa, the Steel Dragon Knight, for executing the thunder plan.
The Snow Giant was repulsed. Although it was still lurking near the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, and the threat was not immediately eliminated, the things that the Grand Duchy should do still had to be done, and the work could not be interrupted just because of fear of the Snow Giant.
That's what the minefield plan is.
The flying dragon knights of the Red Castle need to constantly look for lightning points and place lightning guns in the border area of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Pour the power in the clouds into the earth by inducing thunder.
Only in this way can the power of the Shadow Flame Dragon be accelerated and radiate to the wider snowfield, thereby opening up new territories.
"There are thirteen lightning points in Eastern Xinjiang. Croya has almost circled around and still found no trace of the Snow Demon." Looking at the content on the receipt, Earl Merlin frowned, and the wind and frost cigar between his fingers was already gone. Burn half of it.
With his head full of silver strands combed meticulously, the chief executive, who had turned gray overnight, suddenly sighed: "Snow Giant Da is becoming more and more cunning, no, to be precise, he is becoming more and more... willing to use means. Could it be that that legend is real?"
Drop the receipt.
He took a puff of the frost cigar.
Earl Merlin leaned on the back of his chair, exhaled a deep breath of smoke, and sighed secretly: "How could the entire Grand Duchy of Shadowflame be the hunting ground of the Snow Giant... Are you crossing the gate to another world just to hunt the giant dragon?"
Everyone knows that the Snow Demon invaded Longmian Continent from another world.
But they are still ignorant of what kind of existence the Snow Demon race is and how the Snow Demon world is structured.
In the history of dragon civilization for more than five thousand years, humans have ridden dragons, hunted snow giants, and were hunted by snow giants. But the overall situation is still that the snow demons are strong, while humans are weak, and they are constantly fighting for space to survive.
"Forget it, what do I want to do with this? That is what the Dragon Knight should worry about..." Count Merlin smiled bitterly.
Refresh yourself and prepare to read another document.
At this time, the assistant suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, there is a big happy event, and I need to express my congratulations to you immediately!"
"Would you like to wish me a happy event?" Earl Merlin raised his eyebrows, "What happy event?"
"The Red Castle has just received a message from the Fluorescent Fungus family. Your grandson, Russell Fluorescent Fungus, met the newly born Black Oil Dragon on the snowfield, and successfully obtained the Black Oil Dragon's recognition. They contracted with each other and were promoted to Flying Dragon Knights. "
The Black Oil Dragon was given by the Shadow Flame Dragon, but this cannot be explained clearly.
Because this is a private agreement between Shadow Flame Dragon and Little Menglong, they need to hide it from others for the time being and wait for Little Menglong to grow up.
so.
The black oil dragon Rosey became the "wild" bipedal dragon that Russell picked up.
"What!" Even though Earl Merlin was used to seeing the big world and was already calm about everything, he couldn't help but exclaimed at this moment, "What did you say? Tell me again carefully, don't let me You got it wrong!"
"Yes, sir." The assistant told the news again, "It is absolutely true. The messenger of the Fluorescent Mushroom Family brought a personal letter from Mrs. Meryl."
"It's actually true!" Earl Merlin exclaimed, "Russell... is indeed a knight valued by the Shadow Flame Dragon."
But soon, Earl Merlin discovered a blind spot: "Why isn't it Roman's personal letter?"
"This...isn't quite clear yet."
"Go and bring the messenger knight here, and I will ask him personally." Earl Merlin could no longer sit still and stood up and paced back and forth.
Before the messenger knight arrived, the elector Mel had already hurried over: "Grandpa, have you heard that Russell is riding a dragon!"
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
"Yes, Grandpa." Mel sat down, but still looked like he couldn't believe it. "I thought he would ride Lord Medicalun sooner or later, but I never expected that he would actually pick up a dragon on the snowfield by himself. !”
"Don't judge until the matter is clear." Earl Merlin said.
"yes."
After waiting for half an hour, the messenger knight was brought over.
The assistant quickly said: "Sir, just now the messenger knight was kept by An Xia Gong... Mrs. Jianguo for a long time. I will bring him as soon as he leaves the palace."
The messenger knight beat his chest and saluted: "Raphael, pay homage to the Chief Consul."
"Raphael, tell me exactly what happened with Russell riding the dragon," Count Merlin said.
"It's like this. Lord Chief Consul, Master Russell discovered the newly born Black Oil Dragon about fifty kilometers east of the Youguang River Valley. He successfully completed the contract and was promoted to Flying Dragon Knight, and named the Black Oil Dragon Lord Russell."
After receiving the personal confirmation from the messenger knight, Earl Merlin finally confirmed that the news was true and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, a good thing, a great joy!"
After just laughing a few times, Earl Merlin regained his composure: "Why didn't Roman write the letter himself?"
"The Baron has already gone to the Populus euphratica Desert." Messenger Raphael said, "Master Russell also rushed to the Populus euphratica Desert immediately after riding the dragon."
"Going to the Populus euphratica desert?" Earl Merlin was just slightly surprised, then he understood, "Going to the Populus euphratica desert to discuss marriage?"
"I don't know." Raphael responded.
"Okay, it's been a hard journey, go down and have a good rest." Count Merlin sent Raphael away.
Cousin Mel couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Grandpa, it's true, Russell really rode a dragon!"
He was really surprised and happy.
Then he complained with a smile: "This kid, usually not showing off, but never vague at the critical moment! He was promoted to the Fantasy Beast Knight before me, and now he is promoted to the Dragon Knight before me... This time, he is really going to be famous in the Grand Duchy!"
"Things are unpredictable." Earl Merlin took a puff of the Fengshuang cigar, and felt that this cigar was more exciting to smoke than the pipe.
At this time, another official arrived. It was Princess Anxia who sent someone to inform the Senate of the news that Russell rode a dragon.
And asked the Senate to discuss how to reward Russell.
Picking up a dragon in the wild is different from the nobles riding their own dragons, or the Red Castle training a Dragon Knight. This time, Russell's success has undoubtedly greatly improved the national strength, and the Red Castle naturally needs to be rewarded.
"Please report to the regent lady, I will immediately convene the Senate to discuss the reward plan." Earl Merlin replied.
And with the convening of the Senate, the entire Red Castle soon knew the news.
The twelfth dragon knight was born in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, and along with Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, the youngest dragon knight, was the 30th two-legged dragon born in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame - Black Oil Dragon Rose.
The birth of a two-legged dragon is a great event, and the promotion to a dragon knight is another great event, which can be said to be a double happiness.
"Everyone, if you have any thoughts on the reward for the new dragon knight Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, you can talk freely." On the main seat of the Senate, Earl Merlin was calm and composed. Russell was his grandson, and he was proud of this honor.
You can lean back in your chair and appreciate the expressions of other elders in the Senate.
Chief Judge Osklo Shuiliu Earl looked at the table with a sullen face, without saying a word, and his heart became more and more anxious.
Russell riding a dragon will undoubtedly add a great help to the elected son Mel. This is definitely a major blow to his son Augustus - although he has three two-legged dragons in his family, no one can ride them!
The Minister of Finance, Baron Davis Golden Mushroom, had a smile on his face.
His eyes flickered, looking at Earl Osklo and then at Earl Merlin, wondering what he was thinking.
Baron Kunbiff Shadowflame, Minister of Foreign Affairs, nodded silently, as if he was trying hard to think about how to reward Russell.
As for Lord Quinbe, the General Manager of Internal Affairs, Lord Welch, the Minister of Volcanoes, and Lord Quinbridge, the Minister of Seals, they began an enthusiastic discussion.
Drawing on the previous rewards for flying dragon knights, a proper reward plan was discussed.
"Mr. Russell is a vassal of Baron Roman. Since he succeeded in riding a dragon, according to the laws of the Grand Duchy, he should be changed to a duchy lord, and the warm enclave should be divided into Mr. Russell's territory..." Lord Quinbe concluded, "The Red Castle should immediately hold a ceremony to confer the title, and issue an additional issue of the official bulletin to inform the whole country."
As for the title.
It does not fall within the scope of reward, which requires Russell to make meritorious contributions in the future before he can be promoted.
Seeing this, Earl Merlin asked, "Do you have any objections to this? If not, let's arrange it this way."
