Chapter 347: Guests Coming and Going
Russell's dragon riding ceremony was scheduled for September 27th, more than two weeks after he rode a dragon on September 11th.
After two weeks of fermentation, the news of his dragon riding has been known throughout the country.
And the guests who received the invitation letter also crossed the snowfield one after another, arrived at the Valley of the Dark Light, and stayed in the Fluorescent Castle.
Fortunately, the Fluorescent Castle is large enough to accommodate so many nobles of all sizes.
Uncle Rosen and eldest brother Roland are the two busiest people. The duchy lords who account for the largest proportion of guests are all received by the two of them. Only the great nobles will ask Baron Roman and his wife to greet them, and Russell will accompany them.
Until today.
Russell can finally get rid of the identity of the family socialite. He doesn't like to socialize, especially pretending to be enthusiastic with people he has never met or has only met once or twice. This will consume more energy than his cultivation.
Of course.
He still can't escape the communication between the great nobles.
"Haha, Russell, now my uncle has to call you Sir Russell!" Viscount Major Yu Jiuhua came early with his wife Kunna Shadow Flame.
Sancha River Mouth is not far from the Youguang River Valley.
Russell smiled and responded: "Uncle, you are joking. You should continue to call me Russell, otherwise I dare not see you."
"Uncle, I am ashamed. You are already a flying dragon knight, and I am just an ordinary 1st turn fantasy beast knight."
"It's just that I am lucky."
"This is not good luck, it is a manifestation of strength and talent, and there is also the attention of the Shadow Flame Dragon."
After Uncle Major finished speaking, his aunt, Lady Kunna, smiled and said: "Since he was a child, I knew that Russell would have a great future. Roman, Meryl, look, it really came true."
Mrs. Meryl glanced at Mrs. Kunna, and unconsciously, the inferiority complex she had before towards Mrs. Kunna was gone.
She smiled brightly: "Russell, this kid, really gave us a big surprise. We used to worry about his future, but he succeeded in riding a dragon without us asking too much. Now we can finally rest assured."
"Yes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Lady Kunna pulled Lady Meryl and kept talking.
As if there were endless things to talk about.
Not long after Viscount Major and his wife arrived.
Baron Kulis Tian Zicao and Kunti Sunflower, the Black Court Baron, came to Fluorescent Castle with their son Cooper Tian Zicao and daughter-in-law Rowling Fluorescent Mushroom.
"Kris, my good brother!" Baron Roman stepped forward and hugged Baron Kulis. The two were also old friends, otherwise they would not have become in-laws. "This time, we must stay in Fluorescent Castle for a while!"
Kulis laughed heartily: "Of course!"
Then he smiled and greeted Russell, praising Russell's glory of riding a dragon.
Russell responded with a smile and carefully observed Mrs. Quinti's expression. He still remembered that when he went to Black Court Castle to visit his sister, Mrs. Quinti acted a little indifferent to him and was not good enough to his sister Rowling.
This was naturally due to the fact that they were standing in line.
Mrs. Quinti's nephew and Russell's cousin Mel were competitors for the selection of the prince.
But at this moment, Mrs. Quinti smiled so brightly that there was nothing to say, and she was as close to Mrs. Meryl as sisters. She was equally enthusiastic about Russell, and in front of Mrs. Meryl, she praised Russell to the sky.
Russell had to sigh that in terms of acting skills, he was far behind the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
"Russell!" A brisk shout.
Russell saw his sister Rowling, who acted a little ladylike because she was with her parents-in-law, but the mischief in her eyes was not much concealed.
"Brother-in-law, sister." Russell stepped forward, hugged Cooper, and then hugged Rowling, "Welcome to my dragon riding ceremony."
"Of course I have to come!" Rowling raised her eyebrows and said, "My lovely brother Russell, who was beaten by me and begged for mercy, unexpectedly picked up a dragon without a sound and became a flying dragon rider!"
"When was I beaten by my sister and begged for mercy? Why don't I remember it?" Russell had selective amnesia.
After all, those memories were from his predecessor, not his.
"Hehe... OK, you know how to quibble... I can't beat you now. When my son grows up, if he can ride a dragon, let him beat you!" Rowling said, and then said regretfully, "It's a pity that he is too young to participate in his uncle's dragon riding ceremony."
Russell's nephew, Kuso Tian Zicao, is only five months old and can't stand the cold wind on the snowfield, so he didn't bring him here.
He was left at home for the servants to take care of - there was a wet nurse, and Rowling didn't need to feed the baby herself.
The sadness lasted no more than three seconds, and Rowling looked at Russell fiercely: "Where is your dragon? Let me ride it?"
Russell pointed to the tower of the Fluorescent Castle: "Rossell is over there. If he wants, I don't mind."
Rowling followed the direction of Russell's finger and saw the black oil dragon Russell, who was perched like a sculpture on a tower of the Fluorescent Castle. He was pitch black, with only a pair of dragon eyes that showed a hint of white.
"Tsk." Rowling bared her teeth, "It's really dark."
Here, Baron and Baron Roman and Baron and Baron and Baron Kurisch had already finished chatting, and everyone walked into the Fluorescent Castle together.
Rowling said as she walked: "Take me and Cooper to your territory later. By the way, what is your territory called?"
"Black Fire Land."
"Blackfire Land? Well, it's not bad."
After lunch, unable to bear Rowling's repeated urging, and with Uncle Major and many dukes wanting to go to Blackfire Land, Russell signaled Eric, Grove, and Katie to take people over the snowfield.
There is only a wide snowfield of more than 30 kilometers between Blackfire Land and the Valley of the Light, so it is very convenient to travel.
However, there is still snow and water impact on the edge of Blackfire Land, so you need to take a boat to transfer.
"It's really... beautiful." Among the dukes, there is Lord Boris with a wide forehead, square face, and rosacea. After stepping on Blackfire Land, he looked at the desolate scene and sighed.
"Boris, why don't you bring your sister here?" Another duke of the principality teased with a smile, "I remember you wanted to sell your sister to Lord Russell, didn't you?"
Boris smiled awkwardly: "Lord Russell has been promoted to a flying dragon knight... But I will ask Lord Russell later whether he still looks down on us, the comrades of the Second Fall, and is willing to marry my sister."
"How dare Lord Russell marry your sister when he hasn't even met her?"
"As long as he looks up to me, Boris, and doesn't mind the difference in status between my sister and him, I will naturally arrange for them to meet."
"Haha, let's not do it." The duke of the principality said, "Lord Russell will be embarrassed if he does this."
"When he sees my sister, he won't be embarrassed!" Boris vowed, "My sister is a beauty!"
Looking at Boris's appearance, no one believed it.
At this time, Russell also rode the black oil dragon Rose, descended from the sky, and came to the group of former fighters-although they were called comrades, they had never fought side by side, but they had stayed together to guard the Shadow Flame Dragon.
"Everyone, everything has just begun in the Black Fire Land. I'm sorry to spoil your fun."
"Hehe, Mr. Russell, we didn't spoil your fun at all. Boris just said that he wanted to introduce his sister to you."
"Uh." Russell decisively changed the subject, "Why don't we go take a bath in the hot spring?"
Then he whispered to a young duke: "I remember when Boris came here, he only brought his entourage and male servants, right? He didn't bring his sister with him, right?"
"Don't worry, Boris doesn't dare to take his sister out casually. He just wants to cheat the engagement first." The duke knew the inside story, "After all, there is an engagement. No matter what his sister looks like, it's hard for others to regret it."
"That's good, that's good." Russell relaxed.
So when he was soaking in the hot spring next time, no matter how Boris wanted to talk about his sister, he didn't respond.
This made Boris feel resentful: "My sister is really beautiful!"
Although his sister also has buck teeth, freckles, a square face, and rosacea, in his heart, his sister is beautiful!
