Chapter 478 Dragon Tribulation
"Why do you feel this way?"
"How come there isn't?" Cousin Mel asked.
This moment left Russell speechless. The "ambiguity" between him and the Shadow Flame Dragon obviously led to Mel's misunderstanding.
But he couldn't explain anything.
After all, from the bottom of his heart, if he could contract another giant dragon besides Little Dream Dragon, he would definitely be willing to contract with the Shadow Flame Dragon. No knight would dislike a magical creature like a giant dragon, and lick it all up.
Seeing Russell silent.
Mel smiled broadly: "Haha, what's so embarrassing about this? The position of Grand Duke is already a hot potato. If you really take over, I won't be happy enough. Then my grandfather will no longer have any reason to stop me from marrying him." Annie!"
"I never thought about taking over." Russell breathed a sigh of relief, "But there are some things that cannot be said for the time being, so, cousin, continue to work hard, and I will continue to support you as the Grand Duke as always... In short, the future belongs to us!"
"Well said, the future belongs to us!" Mel laughed.
Russell then went to the Senate Hall, met his grandfather, Earl Merlin, and handed over the mission to Earl Merlin.
"The scale tower is activated and His Highness Shadow Flame has returned safely, so I can rest assured." Earl Merlin sighed, "Now the Snow Demon is rioting, the border is not peaceful, and two lords have died in the snow field... I have been worried about you and His Highness Yingyan.”
"You can relax, grandpa. The scale tower has been activated. With the power of the three giant dragons gathered next, the frost troll and snow giant will not be able to make any waves." Russell comforted.
Then the grandfather and grandson chatted about the mission.
After the chat, Russell went to the Shadow Flame Volcano, brought back the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, and rode the black oil dragon Rosey back to his territory.
"You can fish again." Putting the big metal stone on the dragon plate pillar, Russell patted Russell's scales, "Take good care of the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact... Whatever you want to eat later, tell your father to have someone give it to you. You deliver it.”
Rosé mentally responded: "Yes, Father."
Standing on the Dragon Pan Pillar, which is more than 100 meters high, you can overlook the entire Black Fire Land. Rosai especially likes to gaze at the Black Oil Mine in the northwest.
There are a large number of chimneys around the black oil mine, and black smoke is billowing out almost day and night.
A breath of the industrial age blows in the air, a sight rarely seen in other places - coal-burning kilns do not emit such thick black smoke, and there are not so many factories burning kilns every day.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Russell did not leave immediately. Instead, he accompanied Roselle and watched the black smoke floating into the sky.
"Roar." Luo Sai responded softly.
"It will be more beautiful in the future. There are only a few factories now. When the workers become more skilled and more research is done on the Black Fire Erudite Tower, more factories will be built. At that time, dozens or hundreds of chimneys will smoke together, which will be spectacular. Woolen cloth!"
Back home on Earth, this is definitely serious pollution.
But in Longmian Continent, maybe there will be more black smoke and a stronger greenhouse effect, which can help defeat the Snow Demon.
at this time.
There was a sudden fluctuation in Russell's mind. It was the harpy dragon Hape, and it seemed that he had something to contact him.
The distance is too far, and the spiritual connection cannot communicate across time and space, so there are only simple fluctuations.
"I'll go too!"
After waving to Russell, with a thought, the unicorn Baoli flew over from the bamboo forest to the west of the castle, picked up Russell and went straight to the Ludu Snow Forest.
At this moment, in the cold spring spot of Ludu Garden, Happy stood on the largest tree, waiting for Russell's arrival.
After meeting Russell.
Happy said directly in his heart: "Russell, I have understood the life and death insights left by my ancestors. I feel that I have touched the power of the pseudo-dragon at this moment... But I still lack something. I want to feel the feelings left by my ancestors. Another treasure."
"What is it?" Russell asked.
"I can feel the power that supports the cold spring point, the power that transcends the boundaries of life and death, and it is under this big tree." Hape said, "Ever since I can remember, I have loved squatting on this big tree. I can feel the presence of that power intimately.”
After a pause, Happy continued: "I need to get closer to it!"
"good!"
Russell's eyes lit up. Happy had already solved most of the obstacles to being promoted to the pseudo-dragon by himself. Now, he only needed to do some auxiliary work.
The practice of knighthood does not seem to be as difficult as imagined.
The phantom beasts he contracted are all mature and know how to work hard on their own to make progress, rather than passively being led away by him.
The sword butterfly mark flickered, and a broad sword like a shovel appeared.
Russell started digging from the root of the big tree, and soon dug a big hole. Happy said in time: "I feel it, it's right here, just come here!"
Finished.
Happy jumped directly into the pit and began to feel this invisible but real power up close.
A moment later, it made an even more bizarre request: "Russell, bury me alive. It's not enough. It's not enough now. I need to get one step closer to this power. Only by burying me alive and letting me wander on the edge of life and death can I Only then can I fully understand it!”
"This..." Russell frowned, "Happy, we can develop patiently, there is no need to be so urgent."
Happy's eyes were particularly firm: "Please believe me, Russell!"
One person and one owl, they looked at each other inside and outside the pit for more than ten seconds. Russell finally nodded: "I believe you, Happy!"
Then shovel after shovel was filled with soil.
Standing quietly at the edge of the pit, he always pays attention to the changes in the mind connection. Once Hape's breath begins to wilte, he will immediately dig the pit and dig Hape out. Take measures such as artificial respiration and dragon breath infusion to help Hape wake up.
"Russell, don't be too nervous. The phantom beast is strong and has a strong vitality. When it is really on the verge of despair, Hape will break the mud pit by itself and fly out again." Baoli comforted Russell in her heart.
"I understand." Russell nodded, "I'm just worried that Hape is too competitive and would rather suffocate than give up."
Baoli continued to comfort: "Don't forget that Ouroboros has also followed. If necessary, it can also perform earth walking to dig out Hape."
Russell heard this.
He glanced at the Ouroboros who was standing aside and silently spitting out the snake's tongue. At this moment, Ouroboros was staring at the pit intently.
It was also full of hope for Hape's promotion.
Although it is just an ordinary fantasy beast and does not have pseudo-dragon blood, this does not hinder its desire to be promoted to a pseudo-dragon.
A moment later.
Russell suddenly felt the fluctuations in the mind connection, and Hape's breath began to weaken, but at the same time, Hape's request came.
It asked Russell not to worry, not to immediately launch a rescue, and destroy its perception of the mystery of life and death.
"Alas!"
Russell was in a complicated mood.
He had expectations for Hape's promotion, but he was also full of worries about Hape. Living together day and night, telepathy, Hape has become his inseparable partner. Even if it cannot enter the Dark Dream family, it is still his family.
He can only divert his attention to prevent himself from digging a big hole.
"This power transcends life and death, becomes a pseudo-dragon, and is eternal and immortal... The cold spring point for thousands of years is still warm, and there are still pseudo-dragon heirs reproducing... Let's call it the 'power of dragon calamity'. After this calamity, everyone will be like a dragon!"
Randomly named it.
Russell actually doesn't care about the name of the power of dragon calamity. He only cares whether Happy can comprehend the power of dragon calamity and survive his own dragon calamity!
