Chapter 358: A brief absence makes the heart grow fonder

After eating the double-yolk egg, the little Menglong fell into a deep sleep as expected. He could only communicate briefly through the M-shaped mark on Russell's left hand.

In the next day, Russell took the black oil dragon Roselle and the unicorn Baoli around in the depths of the snowfield, and then hunted two snow demons and obtained two ice soul beads, plus the one he hunted before. , accumulating three in total.

I have accumulated more than 300 ice beads.

"As a flying dragon knight, you can make money so fast." Russell sighed and decided to return to his territory.

There are not many supplies left with me when I go out.

Speeding all the way, they soon returned to the Snowy Forest of Green Capital. When they passed through the blurred boundary, the shadow flame dragon's protection came again, and Rosai's strength, which had been weakened by 10% or 20%, was restored to its original state.

"Roar!"

Luo Sailong groaned, feeling excited.

Not only it, but Russell too.

Returning to the shelter of the Shadow Flame Dragon, the feeling of being surrounded by warmth again made Russell relax his heartstrings that had been tense for two days.

Only Baoli was not affected. Although the phantom beast was also bred from the power of the Shadow Flame Dragon, it was different from the bipedal flying dragon that always needed the power of the Shadow Flame Dragon. After growing up, the phantom beast became an independent individual.

No longer affected by the power of the Shadowflame Dragon.

"Guaer!" Sensing Russell's arrival, the harpy dragon Hape in the cold spring spot in the Green City Garden flew into the sky to meet Russell.

"Happy, my good partner." Russell laughed.

As the saying goes, a break is better than a new marriage. Although the fantasy beast contract is not a marriage, some principles can still be exchanged. Being separated from Happy for two days actually strengthened the relationship between him and Happy, which was beneficial to spiritual cultivation.

"Quack, quack." Hape chirped twice, then calmed down and flew silently behind Rossai.

This situation gave Russell another feeling about how to get along with the phantom beasts: "Each phantom beast has a different personality. For example, if Baoli and I have the same compatibility, we will soon be able to synchronize our minds. Complete.”

But Paulie and Happy were different.

"Although Hape has a very high IQ, he is more 'animalistic' after all, so he can't stick to me all day long. He has to be cared for properly... one at a time and relax, which may be more in line with my and Hape's training mode."

Each fantasy beast has a unique personality.

Therefore, when practicing mind synchronization, every knight cannot copy the experience of his predecessors and must learn and explore on his own.

There are even some knights of fantasy beasts whose compatibility does not match their compatibility and cannot perfectly synchronize their minds for the rest of their lives.

For example, there is always a slight gap between Russell's uncle Rosen and the golden lynx Cobb, and they cannot perfectly synchronize their minds. Naturally, Rosen stopped at the first turn of the Phantom Beast Knight and was unable to start the second turn.

"Quaer!"

"Quaer!"

"Quaer!"

In the forest at the cold spring point of Ludu Garden, the owl-like dragons saw Hape flying away and screamed reluctantly below.

There were even some owl-like dragons that flew up, trying to catch up with Happy.

Happy turned his head and shouted "quack" at the chasing owl-like dragon, and then stopped the owl-like dragon from following.

Feeling the reluctance in Happy's heart, Russell couldn't help but comforted through the spiritual connection: "Happy, don't be sad, we will be back in two days, and then I will bring some roasted rat meat to add to your little brothers. Extra meals.”

"Thank you, Russell." Happy responded mentally.

"We are partners, companions who will accompany us through life and death, so there is no need to be so polite." Russell smiled.

Happy had no words, but his gratitude was even greater.

This gave Russell another sense of realization: "Perhaps, the perfect mental synchronization between me and Happy will have to rely on the help of the owl-like dragons... I will build a wooden house here later, and I can come to Ludu Garden for vacation in the future."

While on vacation and practicing at the same time, I believe that with the synchronization of Hape's soul, the progress will be rapid.

Returned to Black-rumped Snake Manor.

Russell stayed in the Cigar Compound for two nights, then flew to the snowfields in the south again, starting a new round of hunting for the Snow Demon.

Kill in the snowfield for three days, then come back to rest for two days, and the cycle repeats.

December has come to an end leisurely, and the Dragon Calendar Year 5582 is about to turn over. The Black-rumped Snake Manor has already had the atmosphere before the Dragon's Birthday. A new round of ice age has officially arrived, and a heavy snowfall has quietly arrived. Advent.

"Lord Russell, your Lordship and Madam invite you to the Fluorescent Castle to spend this year's Dragon Festival with them." The messenger knight rushed to the Cigar Courtyard and received an invitation from Baron Roman and his wife. This is a fixed event every year.

The Dragon's Birthday Festival in the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame is equivalent to the Spring Festival on Russell's home earth.

Family reunion is a constant theme.

"Okay, you go back and answer my parents, I will go to the Fluorescent Castle on the Dragon's Birthday." Russell responded.

Then he stretched and walked onto the garden terrace of the Cigar Courtyard.

The goose feathers and heavy snow are falling one after another.

Happy stood on the exclusive climbing frame, motionless, letting the snow fall on his plain white feathers - because of the constant supply of roasted mouse meat provided by Jerry, Happy rarely takes the initiative to hunt now. Spent most of the day in a daze.

Just being in a daze, emptying my head, without any other thoughts.

Not far away, a large bamboo forest has spread, completely surrounding the cigar compound from the left, right and rear, leaving only a lawn in front. Baoli likes the bamboo forest very much and sleeps in a different position in the bamboo forest every day.

As for Rousey.

It is not at the Black-rumped Snake Manor. It is patrolling its own black fire land at the moment, and will only come when Russell calls. As a bipedal flying dragon, it prefers to stay in its own territory, not the territory of the clay dragon Rose.

Squeaky.

Amidst the heavy snowfall, several horsemen and horses slowly arrived at the Cigar Courtyard. It was Charles and other territorial officials who came to report on their duties before the festival.

Back in the warm living room, Russell took the lead in sitting on the sofa, and then gestured: "Sit down, don't be formal."

"Yes, sir." The officials then sat down.

As Russell became more and more majestic after being promoted to Dragon Knight, the territorial officials became more and more nervous and restrained in front of him.

Looking around at his followers and officials, Russell felt a little pleased.

Chief Clerk Charles, Sheriff Eric, and Court Elder Hans are the three officers of the territory; Grove and Katie are the two Phantom Beast Knights. Grove’s position is the Chief Knight of the Cigar Courtyard Guard. Katie's position is Territory Patrol Knight Commander.

Catherine, Red-Nosed Rudy, Ranger Howles, Knight Squire Tom, Jack and James, as well as the unassigned follower Grantan Bardroot.

In fact, there are still a few intended followers, but Russell has not accepted them yet.

For example, Musk, the son of Lord Marcus, Summer, the grandson of the old Lord Sully, and Erdok, the nephew of Lord Utteras, are all favors that cannot be erased. And no matter what, they are all familiar choices, so you can use them with confidence.

Of course, there is also Uncle Rosen's eldest son Royle.

Royle is currently out of town, working as a knight's valet for a duchy lord. When he graduates as a knight's valet, he will definitely follow Russell - but it is not 100%. In the future, it is possible for Royle to follow his elder brother Roland.

"The dragon is watching, the development of the territory this year has been rapid." As the chief clerk, Charles took the lead in starting the report.
