Chapter 459: Another Dragon's Birthday
King Ares came in a hurry and left quickly. He only stayed in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy for one day and one night.
"Hum!"
"Roar!"
The blazing dragon with billowing smoke, and the torrent dragon with the blue light of the sea water, emitted dragon roars that resounded throughout the world.
Return together to the Kingdom of Fiery Torrents.
When the Shadowflame Grand Duchy completes the Fiery Scale Tower, King Ares will ride on the Fiery Dragon again and activate the Fiery Scale Tower.
When the time comes, Russell will also follow the Shadow Flame Dragon to the Blazing Torrent Kingdom and activate the Shadow Flame Scale Tower.
From then on, the three giant dragons between the two countries condensed into a whole, guarding against the invasion of frost trolls and snow giants anytime and anywhere.
"Baron Netherlight, Baron Thunder Flame, and Lady Supervisor invite you to the inner castle for a meal." The knights from the inner castle came to pass the message.
"Okay, our father and son will go over right now." Baron Roman agreed.
After the knight left, he joked to Russell: "My father has benefited from you. Princess Anxia rarely entertains male nobles. Your mother did have several meals with Princess Anxia, but it was very early in the morning. That’s the past.”
Over the years, the widowed Princess Anxia has always lived in seclusion, only entertaining noble ladies on major festivals.
"I am flattered by Princess Anxia's hospitality," Russell said.
"It's impossible to say that I will become in-laws with Princess Anxia."
"Father, you are joking." Russell shook his head, "Little Princess Kunlaya is still a child, and I have never thought of marrying her."
"There will always be a day when you grow up, right?" Baron Roman said with emotion, "In my eyes, yesterday you were also a child, and today you suddenly became an adult... Time is always so easy to slip away. Walk."
"It shows that my father lived a very happy life. Happy people always feel that time passes too fast, and only unfortunate people feel that every second is suffering."
"You're pretty good at feeling."
The father and son chatted casually along the way, and soon arrived at the inner castle. Under the guidance of the inner castle guards, they arrived at the main hall restaurant.
Princess Anxia is already waiting here with little Princess Kunlaya.
"I've met Madam Jianguo, I've met the little princess." Baron Roman bowed and saluted, and then the guests and hosts took their seats.
This is a family dinner.
The topics were also limited to some trivial matters among the nobles, such as how Mrs. Meryl was doing, how the harvest was in the territory, where the Blackfire Land was being developed, or how old Laura was, and whether she had any intention of getting married.
Russell has a dull temper.
But Baron Roman seemed to have some witty words, and he stirred up the atmosphere of the banquet very well. He even told a joke or two to make the little princess Kunlaya laugh.
"Sure enough... Big brother is so eloquent. It's not without reason. It's all hereditary!" Russell sighed secretly.
A family dinner ended in an atmosphere of laughter.
Princess Anxia finally revealed the purpose of the meal: "Russell, Kunlaya has been working hard to practice fighting spirit recently, but she lacks a famous teacher to teach her, so I want her to become your teacher and follow you, who is famous in both countries. Genius learning.”
"I don't dare to be a teacher, but if you have any doubts during Kunlaya's cultivation, feel free to ask me for advice." Russell responded.
Princess Anxia smiled and said: "One student is also a teacher, and two students are also a teacher. I will ask someone to send the tuition fees."
"Then I will accept Kunraya as my student." Russell no longer refused, "But I don't live in the Red Castle, and I don't have that much time to teach, so I won't need the tuition. My other student Willy Mum, I only charged a nominal amount of tuition.”
Regarding Velim Jinnari, Russell basically didn't teach him much. He only asked Velim to practice with other great knights and fantasy beast knights.
Although he is a genius flying dragon knight and dragon domain lord, he may not be better than others in teaching.
The only advantage is that he has experience in being promoted to Dragon Domain Lord.
"The tuition fee still has to be paid. No matter how many knights outside ask for your advice, Kunraya is lucky to be your student." Princess Anxia looked at Russell, and she became more and more satisfied with her appearance. , good temperament, and the most important thing is that the Shadow Flame Dragon likes him!
Soon the palace servants brought the tuition fees.
A bag of gold coins.
Then the little princess Kunlaya held it in her hands, handed it to Russell, and shouted crisply: "Teacher!"
…
Accepting the little princess Kunlaya as a student actually does not require Russell's personal guidance. There are enough palace knights in the Red Castle to give guidance to Kunlaya.
This is more like a political signal or a means of coaxing.
"You, the number one person in Shadow Flame, are now more popular than me." Baron Roman sighed as he set out to return to his territory.
In the past, he also had the idea of leading the way in the Red Fort. Unfortunately, he was stripped of his position after being the finance minister for only two months. Now that the three years of hard labor in combat have not ended, Russell has suddenly emerged and become a leading figure of a generation.
When most people think of the fluorescent mushroom family, they think of Russell.
Rather than him, the actual patriarch of the Fluorescent Mushroom Family.
It can be said that his era has ended before it even begins. In the current Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, after Earl Merlin retires, no matter which prince comes to power, Russell will be the pillar of this era.
"Father, you don't have to be discouraged." Russell smiled on the back of the black oil dragon Rosey. "You will definitely be able to show off your talents in the future."
Baron Roman shook his head: "You are old, I will see you show your strength from now on."
Russell smiled and said nothing more.
Fleeting at lightning speed, the father and son soon returned to the Glowing Valley and agreed to come to the Fluorescent Castle to celebrate the Dragon's Birthday. Russell flew directly back to the Black Snake Manor.
"Happe, Ouroboros, I'm back!" Russell fell from the sky, and the black oil dragon Rose continued to fly eastward to rest in its black fire land.
"Quack!" Harpy dragon Hape responded briskly.
Ouroboros also came out of the tree hole and spit out its snake tongue at Russell. It couldn't make a sound.
At this time.
The head maid Leona came over: "Master, welcome home."
"Well, why are you here to greet, where is Morris?"
"Master, have you forgotten that Mr. Morris took the male servants to the Cigar Castle. The decoration there is almost finished. Mr. Morris hopes that the servants will get familiar with the future working environment as soon as possible, and he will hold a Dragon's Birthday banquet in the Cigar Castle."
"Well, I remember." Russell nodded.
The progress of reclamation of Blackfire Land is encouraging, and Russell has also been awarded two lords, so he will definitely have a banquet with his followers on Dragon's Birthday to celebrate the birth of Shadow Flame Dragon.
So Butler Morris informed him in advance that he would go to Cigar Castle to make some arrangements.
"Master, Mrs. Moore also went to Cigar Castle with the kitchen maid. Now only Mrs. Brown is left. Do you need Mrs. Brown to prepare dinner for you?" Leona asked.
"Okay." Russell nodded, "But I want dumplings for dinner, stuffed with chives, eggs and vermicelli, with three or five side dishes."
"Okay, sir, I'll go inform the kitchen now."
"By the way, Leona." Russell suddenly said, "There are many servants in the Cigar Castle, and we need a housekeeper. I'm going to recommend you to Morris, so you have to be prepared."
"Ah." Leona exclaimed, "Master, I'm too young, how can I be qualified for the position of housekeeper."
"Why not." Russell smiled, "I've seen your work at the Cigar Courtyard, and I believe you can be qualified for the position of housekeeper."
