Chapter 397 Nicholas visits (more updates, please give me a monthly ticket)
The next day.
Russell was still busy. He went to inspect the handover of serfs in the morning. The reward from the Red Castle was not mixed with any water.
The serfs rewarded to Russell were all young men and women, or skilled serf technicians and craftsmen, and even included several pharmacists. These were high-level technicians that could not be bought with money. They were cultivated by the nobles with countless resources.
Before, Russell had planned to ask the Fluorescent Castle to help cultivate them, but now he could save money. These pharmacists were enough to make all the magic potions in the territory.
"This is what the Regent Lady specifically asked." The one who came to hand over this batch of serfs was Lord Quinbe, the chief steward of internal affairs.
Russell accepted Princess Anxia's kindness calmly: "The kindness of the regent lady will be remembered in my heart."
"You are the best young man in the Grand Duchy. In the future, when the new Grand Duke wins the election, we will have to rely on you to assist." Lord Quinbe sighed, "Old guys like me can only try our best to maintain the current difficult situation from collapse."
Russell smiled. When the new Grand Duke ascends the throne, he may have been promoted to a dragon knight to create his own country.
Then, he listened to Lord Quinbe talking a lot of nonsense.
Finally, Lord Quinbe invited Russell and said, "I have prepared a simple meal in my castle. Why don't you, Sir Russell, go to the castle with me for a banquet?"
After a pause, Lord Quinbe added, "I have a pair of beautiful twin granddaughters, who are 28 years old and returned from the Women's College in Windrage City today. After the banquet, it's just right to hold a dance in the castle for you young people to meet."
Russell glanced at Lord Quinbe, who was openly using his granddaughter's beauty as a strategy, and shook his head and refused, saying, "Sorry, let's do it another day, Sir Quinbe. I have to go to the inner castle at noon today to pay a visit to the regent's wife."
"Uh." Lord Quinbe was helpless, "Then let's do it another day."
Russell really needs to go to the inner castle to pay a visit to Princess Anxia, both to thank the Red Castle for his reward and for the need of etiquette.
After all, Princess Anxia and Princess Kunlaya are the only remaining members of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family in this generation.
Even if the selection of the prince is over and the new Grand Duke ascends the throne.
Princess Anxia and Princess Kunlaya are still members of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family, especially Princess Kunlaya, who can bear the surname "Shadow Flame" throughout her life.
Other members of the Shadow Flame family, such as Lord Kunbe and Lord Kunqiao, lost their surname "Shadow Flame" early on. Swan Baron Kunbif Shadow Flame is one of the few collaterals who can retain the surname "Shadow Flame", but his descendants can only bear the surname "Sunflower".
This is similar to earls and barons.
For example, in Russell's family, the two brothers Roman Fluorescent Mushroom and Rosen Fluorescent Mushroom are both sons of Rod Fluorescent Mushroom, so they can naturally follow their father's surname "Fluorescent Mushroom". However, after Roman inherited the baronship, Rosen was only a lord.
So Rosen's sons, Royal and Royal, no longer have noble surnames.
As sons of Baron Roman, Roland and Russell both have the surname "Fluorescent Mushroom". If Russell was incompetent and failed to earn the title of baron, his eldest brother Roland would inherit the title in the future, and his children would also lose the surname "Fluorescent Mushroom".
Fortunately, Russell was extraordinary and had become the Baron of Thunder Flame, so his children could continue to use the surname "Fluorescent Mushroom" in the future.
Of course.
When Russell's children were born, Russell's surname might not still be "Fluorescent Mushroom".
...
In the inner castle, he accompanied Princess Anxia and Princess Kunlaya to have a slightly simple lunch. In the afternoon, Russell also guided Princess Kunlaya's training for a while.
"What I am good at is swordsmanship." Russell showed Princess Kunlaya his outstanding swordsmanship attainments.
For Kunlaya, who was just an ordinary knight in armor, Russell's swordsmanship was completely incomprehensible to her. She could only feel that Russell's swordsmanship was unfathomable, as deep as the snowfield, and filled with murderous intent.
"I don't understand, brother Russell." Kunlaya shook her head.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Russell also knew this. "You should practice the "Yaoguang Sword Technique" hard first to lay a solid foundation for swordsmanship... I am writing a new Douqi martial arts, the "Three Swords Flow Big Move Sword Technique". When I finish writing it, you can keep up with the practice."
After comprehending the secret of the Thunder Sword, Russell's swordsmanship has transcended the world and reached the realm of being able to touch the rules of the elements.
This kind of swordsmanship obviously cannot be carried by Douqi martial arts.
But he looked back and had more insights into his previous swordsmanship, especially the Three Swords Flow Big Move.
It is enough to organize it into a brand new Douqi martial arts.
"New Douqi martial arts? Brother Russell, you are so amazing!" Little Princess Kunlaya nodded. Those who can write Douqi martial arts are all powerful knights in history-of course, ordinary knights can also write Douqi martial arts, but they can't be passed down at all.
Russell knows this very well.
He smiled slightly: "My swordsmanship is indeed powerful, but whether the "Three Swords Flow Ultimate Move" is powerful or not will depend on time to test."
He did not stay in the inner castle for long. As a dignified Dragon Domain Lord, he was not suitable to teach a little girl to practice.
So Russell said goodbye and left soon.
When he returned to his cousin Mel's independent small castle, the butler came to inform him: "Lord Russell, a playwright Nicholas came to visit you. I wanted to send him away because there was no invitation, but he said he was the author of "The Dragon Rider"..."
"The Dragon Rider" is very popular. After all, Russell has only been promoted to a flying dragon knight for a few months, and the audience is still full of curiosity about him.
Besides, he was promoted to the Lord of Dragon Domain and was canonized as the Baron of Thunder Flame, which further increased Russell's popularity, and even "Dragon Rider" was sold out.
It can be said that this is a phenomenal play that has become popular with the help of Russell's personal popularity.
The author Nicholas also gained fame and fortune with this work, entered the upper class, and was treated as a guest of honor by the nobles.
"Nicholas? Why did he come to visit me?" Russell was very cold about this.
"Dragon Rider" was a big hit, but he, the prototype character, did not receive a penny of copyright fees.
This is a blatant act of piracy!
Unfortunately, the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame has no copyright protection law, and Nicholas's adaptation of the play based on him is completely legal.
"He wants to interview you and tailor a new play for you again." The butler's tone was full of expectation when he answered. Obviously, he, like most people, is looking forward to the second part of "Dragon Rider".
"Not interested." Russell waved his hand, "Let him go."
It had only been a few months since he rode the dragon, and Russell didn't think he had any material worthy of being adapted into a play again.
When the time comes, this Nicholas will definitely make up stories and distort his reputation.
The butler reluctantly accepted the order, but soon turned back, followed by a young man with two small mustaches.
"Lord Russell, Nicholas..." said the butler.
The young man interrupted the butler's report and said enthusiastically and fanatically: "Ah, Lord Russell, I finally see you in person! Please allow me to kneel down and greet you as your fanatical follower, and offer you my endless admiration for you!"
After that.
The young playwright Nicholas knelt on his knees and bowed down in front of Russell.
Don't hit a smiling person, especially when the other party is so sincere.
Russell could only say calmly: "Okay, I accept your greetings. My story is very plain and there is nothing worth exploring. You can leave now."
"No, no, no, Lord Russell!" Nicholas got up and said enthusiastically, "There are still many things to explore in your story. You suffered a sneak attack from the snow giant Da and experienced a life-and-death catastrophe before you were promoted to the Dragon Domain Lord. There are too many details to describe..."
Nicholas followed Russell and chattered: "You went to the Golden Plains. I asked about the details. You chopped down three two-legged dragons with one sword. Oh my God, those were two-legged dragons. The people don't know this story yet. Once they know it, they will go crazy for it!"
Russell, who had originally planned to drive Nicholas away, suddenly stopped when he heard what the other party said.
Then he turned his head and looked at Nicholas: "There are indeed some details in it. For example, I remember that I stepped on Osklo's face with my left foot..."
