Chapter 432 Mel's Love
"My great-grandfather had an amber worm, and it has been passed down to me." Willim Kinnari spread out his left hand.
A sesame-sized mark on the palm of his hand flashed directly and turned into a snail about the size of a coin.
Holding the little snail, Willim showed it openly: "It's called a round shield. It has been in our family for many years. Back then, my great-grandfather relied on the defense provided by the round shield to block the life-and-death crisis."
Said.
He looked at Russell with burning eyes: "Mr. Russell, do you think that after I have a round shield, I have enough foundation to be promoted to the Lord of Dragon Domain?"
Looking at Willim with full eyes of expectation.
Russell didn't know whether to say that this child was honest or that this child was a little stupid. Amber worms are so precious, and they are displayed in front of a stranger, and there is someone who is strong enough to snatch the amber worms.
Fortunately, Russell did not get greedy.
Instead, he took a closer look at the snail amber worm.
Then he said: "If your great grandfather could rely on its protection to overcome the crisis of life and death, then you can naturally do it too. But I can only say that everything is not fixed. If you want to get promoted by seeking death, then there is a high probability that you will really die."
"Revitalize the family, why should I care about death!" Welim said firmly, and with a clenched fist, the snail amber worm turned back into a sesame-sized mark.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Hmm." Everyone has their own aspirations, and Russell obviously has no obligation to make choices for others. "Well, if you are really ready to die, then write a letter home, and then I will teach you some experience in the promotion of Dragon Territory Lords."
Hearing that Russell agreed to teach him, Wei Lim immediately bowed with joy: "Wei Lim greets the teacher!"
"Hmm."
"Teacher, I came to visit you in a hurry. The property I brought is still in the Red Castle, with the selected young master Mel. After I get it, I will pay the tuition to you, teacher."
"No hurry, no hurry, you can live in the manor first." Russell didn't care about the tuition, but the necessary procedures could not be omitted. After all, the other party had no relatives or friends with him, so there was no need to teach for free. It was completely a face for his cousin Mel to let him become a disciple.
Mel was not young anymore, and it was rare for him to find a favorite object. He had to help him no matter what.
Then he said to Willem: "You will live in the official dormitory of the small market and take up a position in the manor. I often go out and will not live in the cigar compound for a long time, so when I am not there, you will study on your own."
"Yes, teacher." Willem replied.
Then he sent someone to lead Willem and the pseudo-kinnali dragon Lily to the official dormitory of the small market.
At this time, the unicorn Baoli said in her mind: "I observed the pseudo-kinnali dragon. It has a fleshy crown on its head. It gives me the same feeling as the ahoge on my previous unicorn, Hape's head. It is indeed a pseudo-dragon heir of the fantasy beast species."
"After all, it is the descendant of the Dragon Domain Lord. The pseudo-dragon Jinnari will definitely leave a group of pseudo-dragon heirs." Russell nodded.
He still has many questions about the information of the Dragon Domain Lord and is ready to ask Willem Jinnari.
For example, how the warm enclave opened up by the pseudo-dragon degrades, how long the pseudo-dragon lives, how the pseudo-dragon reproduces the pseudo-dragon heirs, whether the Dragon Domain Lord has more fighting skills, and whether West Jinnari has explored the next realm of the Dragon Domain Lord, etc.
But there is no rush for this.
"Let's go, Polly, let's go to the Red Castle. My cousin has found love. I have to ask about the situation." Russell jumped on the back of the unicorn and then rushed all the way to the Red Castle.
When he walked into Mel's independent castle, he learned from the butler that Earl Merlin had also come and had a quarrel with Mel.
"Mr. Russell, you can persuade the master and the young master." The butler said.
"Okay."
Russell pushed the door into the study where the grandfather and grandson were arguing, but saw Earl Merlin holding a cigar and blowing his beard and glaring.
And Mel's cousin stood in front of the table, his eyes red and refused to retreat.
"Grandpa, Mel, what's wrong with you?" Russell closed the door of the study and dragged a chair to sit down.
"Russell, you're here just in time!" Mel seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, "Come and talk to grandfather about what free love is. His thoughts are already stubborn and will always be confined to the rules and regulations of the nobility!"
"How dare you, you little bastard, how can you talk to grandfather!" Earl Merlin was furious.
Mel shrank his neck, but did not apologize.
Seeing this, Russell coughed lightly: "Grandpa, Mel, calm down first. Mel, sit down, don't talk while standing."
"Russell, there's nothing to say about this." Earl Merlin took a puff of cigar, not wanting to be too out of control in front of his grandson, so he slowed down his tone and said, "I can agree to Mel's marriage from the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents, but I don't allow him to have any connection with the Lieyang Family."
"Annie's last name is Inula, not Lieyang!" Mel sat on the chair to argue.
"Her father is Ade Lieyang, and she also has the blood of the Lieyang royal family. Mel, if you still want to compete for the selection of the prince, don't think about marrying a woman of Lieyang royal blood!" Earl Merlin said.
After a pause, he continued: "Kunlaya lost her qualification as an heir because she has the blood of the Lieyang royal family! Augustus married Dawen, and Queensley also married Veraly. They are unwilling to marry someone from the Lieyang royal family. Don't you understand?"
"This is a different time, and now the two countries are allied..." Mel said.
He was interrupted by Count Merlin halfway through: "Alliance does not mean reconciliation. The hatred between dragons is much stronger and more lasting than you think!"
Mel turned his head: "Russell, please help me talk to my grandfather. I can't make sense with him!"
Russell glanced at Mel, then looked at Count Merlin. He suddenly thought of a question, a question that many nobles in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy were muttering in their hearts-whether Grand Duke Kunstan was destroying himself or was deliberately indulged by others.
This question is destined to have no answer.
Unless someone can read minds, no one can guess the heart of Count Merlin, even the Shadow Flame Dragon.
Russell just had a flash of thought, and was quickly suppressed by him, and then he said leisurely: "Grandpa, I am already very familiar with His Highness Shadow Flame. I believe His Highness Shadow Flame will not hold a grudge against this little thing."
"That's right, I said, Shadow... Dragons are not so stingy!" Cousin Mel immediately echoed Russell.
Earl Merlin retorted: "Russell, details determine success or failure. Never speculate on the heart of a dragon. What you think the dragon doesn't care about may be exactly what the dragon cares about the most. So, Mel can't make a mistake."
"This is not a mistake. This is free love. I have decided on Anne Inula!" Mel said angrily.
Earl Merlin said with a sullen face: "This is about the future of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. It is no longer the business of the Yujiuhua family. I will never allow you to mess around."
Mel argued: "I just got married and married a beloved girl. How can it be related to the future of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame?"
"Because I want you to become the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, lead the Red Castle, and lead the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame out of the predicament. If Queensley comes to power, the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame will be annexed by the Kingdom of Blazing Torrent sooner or later. If Augustus comes to power, the Grand Duchy will collapse on its own without even the annexation of the kingdom!"
After speaking.
Earl Merlin glanced at Russell and suddenly sighed, "If... I really hope that the dragon can choose Russell. In that case, this country can still be saved... Otherwise, if the three of you choose the prince, I will not trust any of you."
Mel nodded and agreed, "If Russell becomes the Grand Duke, I will also be willing. At least no one will oppose me marrying Anne!"
"You keep saying this, can't you leave Anne?" Earl Merlin said with anger, "It's because I haven't disciplined you in these years, Mel, you are childish and impulsive now, which makes me very disappointed."
Mel lowered his head slightly, but refused to admit defeat: "Grandfather, you love to listen to "Snowflake Rhapsody" the most. You have regrets, right? Do you want me to be like you, regretting for the rest of my life?"
Hearing this, Earl Merlin's hand trembled slightly.
But he soon returned to being cold.
He took a puff of his cigar, the smoke spreading in front of him: "It is better for one person to regret than for the whole country to regret. I am the chief ruler of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame first, and your grandfather second. Mel, put away your womanly heart!"
