Chapter 489 Earl Promotion Ceremony (Additional update, please give me a monthly ticket)
On April 15, 5584 in the Dragon Calendar, the first day of the warm season, the weather in the volcanic oasis was exceptionally clear.
The sun scorches every inch of the land evenly.
Stormrage City was filled with singing and dancing to celebrate the birth of the third earl of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame - Lord Thunderfire Russell Glow.
The real promotion ceremony is held in the main hall of the Red Castle.
The position of Grand Duke was vacant, so just like the last time he was conferred a baron, the promotion ceremony was presided over by Princess Anxia, the wife of the Supervisor. All the nobles of the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, including the Earl of Osclo and his family who had been slapped in the face by Russell, were present.
The hall was overcrowded with nobles, and even the lord guarding the frontier handed over the task to his deputy and came in person.
The roar of the flying dragon is endless.
"Create the unprecedented way of knighthood, be promoted to the second rank of high dragon domain lord, create the warm land of Qingqiu to strengthen the country's power, kill the snow giant with the sword and achieve Xuanhe martial arts... Retired with the country, Thunder Flame Baron Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, has played a vital role in the country and the country. He has made great contributions to the Ying Yan Dragon Blood Family and should be promoted to the Earl of Lei Yan, hereditary!"
Princess Anxia read out the contents of the Golden Seal with a bright smile. Russell, who had already changed into a more noble earl's dress, stepped forward, beat his chest and saluted, and then took the Golden Seal.
Raise the golden seal and edict.
Russell said the same lines as when he was conferred a baron last time: "My lord, Russell Fluorescent Fungus, will protect the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame with his blood, guard the Shadowflame Dragon, and guard the Shadowflame Dragonblood Family!"
Under the main hall.
Countless nobles looked at Russell eagerly, and even some nobles' eager gazes were almost numb. Russell's rise was really too dizzying to watch.
Ride a dragon, be promoted to dragon domain lord, be canonized as a baron, activate the second level of high dragon domain lord, and be promoted to earl.
The news about Russell has never stopped.
And every piece of news is enough to cause a sensation in the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Not to mention that in the more than 400 years of the founding of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, such a dazzling genius has never been born. The Fiery Torrent Kingdom next door, which has been established for thousands of years, has also never given birth to a more dazzling genius than Russell.
Putting aside the unshakable divine aura of the dragon knight, Russell is the knight who has traveled the farthest and highest on the path of knighthood.
"Earl Russell!"
"My Lord Count!"
"Lord Russell!"
"Earl Thunder Flame!"
The shouts came from the mouths of Russell's followers who were present, and soon spread to almost all the nobles in the entire hall.
No matter whether you like it or not in your heart.
The atmosphere has reached this point, and except for a few senior officials, everyone else started shouting.
Especially when Russell glanced over, the barons and dragon knights couldn't help but raise their hands and shout along with everyone. This is a cheer for the heroes of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, and also a joy for the strongest knights.
This situation.
Even Russell, who had already experienced it once, was still infected, and his heart surged uncontrollably.
Holding the golden seal in hand, he said loudly in a middle-class manner: "I, Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, have a lifelong ambition... to drive away the snow demon and warm all living beings!"
Finished speaking.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
But immediately after, the loudest and loudest shouts broke out: "Drive away the snow demon and warm all living beings!"
"Exorcise the snow demon and warm all living beings!"
"Exorcise the Snow Demon..."
The shouts grew louder and louder, and even Princess Anxia, holding the little Princess Kunlaya in hand, started shouting slogans.
Sitting in the front row of the hall, Earl Merlin, who had remained unmoved when calling Russell's name before, began to flash his eyes. He turned to look at Marquis Arnaud beside him. Marquis Arnaud, who was getting more and more pregnant, happened to look at him with a smile.
One is the chief executive of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy and can be called a political giant.
One is the owner of the Evernight Castle, the holy place of literature and art in the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, and can be called a cultural giant.
At this moment, the two giants seemed to be in sync with each other. They each raised their arms high and shouted with everyone: "Exorcise the snow demon and warm all living beings!"
in the crowd.
Count Osclo Shuiliu also raised his arms, but his mouth was tightly closed and his face was gloomy without saying a word.
On the other side, Grontan Baimaigan looked at his lord, chanting slogans crazily, and his eyes revealed fanatical admiration.
Russell at this moment is, in his mind, the most perfect knight template.
"Exorcise the snow demon and warm all living beings! Your Majesty's ambition is indeed lofty, and with the blessing of the light, the Shadow Flame Dragon should not hesitate at all. Contracting with your Majesty is the best choice." Grontan thought fervently, "The only way is to become a giant dragon. Only knights can fulfill their great ambitions.”
In his opinion.
This country really needs a dragon knight to stand up.
The Longmian Continent, which has been oppressed by the snowfields for thousands of years, is in great need of a dragon knight who cares about all mankind to lead the people living in the cold to drive away the endless snow demons and snow ghosts and move towards a truly warm world.
And this person is none other than Russell Fluorescent Mushroom.
"Kuso, look, the one being cheered and surrounded by people is your uncle, Earl Russell of Thunder Flame!" In the lady's area, Rowling Fluorescent Mushroom, who came to attend the Earl's promotion ceremony, said to her two-year-old son said.
Little Kusuo has a tiger-like head and a strong brain. He can already say some simple words: "Uncle, Uncle Russell!"
"When you grow up, you must practice hard and become a powerful knight like your uncle!" Rowling has high hopes for her son.
The husband, Cooper Tian Zicao, smiled bitterly and said to his son in his heart: "It's hard for you."
Russell's height is really amazing.
It is not a height that ordinary people can reach, and they can't even look up to him. With his uncle Russell as his goal, little Kuso is destined to suffer too many blows in his future growth. How can Cooper, as a father, not feel distressed.
But he couldn't refute it, and even in his heart, he didn't hope that his son could become the next Russell.
Anyway, his biggest luxury in this life is to start the second transformation and become a high-level fantasy beast knight. There is no hope to catch up with Russell's knighthood, but I hope that his son who also has the blood of the fluorescent mushroom family can catch up.
After the ceremony, there will be a grand banquet.
Hosted by the Red Castle.
This was part of the celebration, saving Russell from the trouble of having no place to entertain guests - Cigar Castle couldn't even entertain guests from the Glowing Valley and the Blackfire Land, let alone the nobles of the entire Shadowflame Grand Duchy.
The banquet was a buffet.
Basically, large banquets would adopt a buffet mode, which could save a lot of trouble in arranging seats.
Most of the guests carried plates and wine glasses and chatted with acquaintances.
Nicholas, the most famous playwright in the entire Shadowflame Grand Duchy with "The Dragon Rider" and "Dragonland Thunder", was also fortunate to be invited to participate in the celebration banquet.
At this moment, he didn't order food or drink, but kept writing in his notebook with a pen.
He wanted to record this glorious moment belonging to Russell and draw materials for his next play - his next play, which was inspired by Russell and told a story of the dark ages, was not finished yet.
"The scale of the banquet was unimaginably luxurious. Earl Leiyan was the focus of the entire palace of Grand Duke Yingyan. No one could steal his limelight... On his forehead, the lightning symbol was supplemented by a tornado symbol. That must be the symbol of the Dragon Domain Lord..."
"It's hard to imagine that a knight can contract two pseudo-dragons. With the wyvern, that's a three-headed dragon!"
"All this seems to be so logical for Sir Russell. He is undoubtedly the first person under the dragon knight... But his smile is very gentle. Even when he treats the servants who serve wine, he will smile and greet..."
"But I always feel that there is a faint loneliness around him, as if he is out of tune with the whole banquet... Maybe this is the attitude of a genius. The world in their eyes is completely different from the world in our eyes."
"And it is this kind of temperament that makes people more awed and admired..."
The grand occasion of the banquet was recorded.
Nicholas felt his stomach growling at this time. He glanced at the new earl who was surrounded by a group of ladies.
I couldn't help but sigh: "How lucky I am to be in the same era with such a genius!"
