Chapter 502 Answer
The senior ministers of the Council of Elders, together with the three young masters, walked into the Shadow Flame Volcano and started a direct dialogue with the Shadow Flame Dragon.
at the same time.
On the business road outside Stormrage City, two young people hugged each other and parted.
"Welim, when will you come back this time?" Grontan Bajiagan asked with some reluctance.
Opposite him was Velim Kinnari, who turned over and rode on his contracted fantasy beast - Jinnari Dragon Lily.
Waving his hand on Lily's back: "The teacher said that the False Dragon's Horn is very important for Lily's promotion, so I plan to take some time to look for it in the snowy field where my great-grandfather died in battle... Tentatively, one year later, one year I’ll come over and ask the teacher for advice later.”
"Yeah, okay." Grontan also turned over and rode on a fantasy beast.
This phantom beast looks like a huge antelope, and the hair on its body is very hard, which means that the knight has fighting spirit to protect his body, so it will not feel pierced in the buttocks.
"Then I'm leaving," Velim said.
"good!"
"Practice well, and when I come to the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy again, we will have a competition." Velim said, already riding the Jinnali Dragon on the business road.
Looking at Willim's retreating back, Grontan sighed sadly.
Perhaps it's because they were both born into noble families. One family is about to decline, and the other is the second son of the family. Under Russell, he had the best relationship with Velim, and they basically ate, slept, and practiced together.
"We won't see each other again until a year later." Grotan touched the neck of the antelope fantasy beast sitting next to him, "Antleup, we have to practice hard, reach a contract as soon as possible, and strive to surprise Velim when he comes back."
"Meh." The antelope phantom beast responded.
It was originally an ownerless phantom beast in the Red Castle phantom beast paradise. After being captured, it was kept in captivity until it was picked by Grontan.
After being promoted to earl, Russell did not forget his followers and directly purchased a place for a fantasy beast from the Red Castle Fantasy Beast Paradise. Then he helped Grontan and selected this hard-haired antelope-Antelepu.
During this period of time, Grontan has been running in with Antlepu.
However, the fantasy beast contract requires each other's hearts to be in harmony, and for the time being, neither Grontan nor Antlep is ready.
"Let's go back." Grontan waved his hand, "I still have to help organize the transportation of serfs. There are 100,000 serfs. They are very busy these days."
Return to Stormrage.
Grantan soon saw Lord Charles who was busy: "Your Majesty the Governor, I'm back."
Charles' current position is the Governor of the Blackfire Province, and he also serves as Russell's special adviser, which is basically equivalent to Russell's butler. In other words, he is the chief executive of the Thunder Flame Territory.
"You've come back just in time. Take Earl Lei Yan's hand card and go to the three manors north of Shadow Flame Mountain. Cooperate with the local foreman to select a thousand serfs." Charles immediately asked the clerk to bring a hand card.
Hand cards are similar to passes, and they are required for handovers.
After Grontan took over the cards and learned the locations of the three manors, Charles continued: "Is it enough to give you two days? If it is enough, then hurry up and set off... Well, my lord has ordered that the male to female ratio is three to four. do you know?"
"Okay, I remember."
"Go quickly." Charles said, "It would be better if we could select more female serfs. There are too many bachelors in the territory!"
Grontan had just been sent away here, and another knight came over on horseback: "Your Excellency Charles, Master Roland invites you to go to the office. A temporary summary meeting of the family's serf trade needs to be held, and there is a cocktail party in the evening. You accompany Master Roland."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go right away." Charles responded.
Then in front of a group of steward knights from the Fluorescent Mushroom family, Versailles pretended: "Oh, I really don't have any time to be lazy. Every day is a non-stop drinking party. I feel that in a few days, I will be able to recognize the lords of the entire Grand Duchy. All."
"Haha, those who are able work hard. Sir Charles, you are Lord Russell's most loyal follower!"
"How can the many general affairs of the entire Leiyan Territory be handled by Your Excellency?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Russell trusts you the most."
"You can just go ahead and do your work. Just leave the trivial matters here to us."
The steward knights responded one after another until they sent Charles away, then they looked at each other with different expressions.
"What a piece of luck. Charles wore patches all over his clothes back then, and now he's actually become a Lord!"
"Isn't it true? A man from a poor family turned out to be Mr. Russell's tutor."
"The dragon is watching, why isn't it watching us?"
"This is the way the world is. A guy like Charles, who has no chivalric virtues and is reviled by readers, can still be in a high position!"
"You can't say that. Charles is still very diligent in his work, otherwise he wouldn't be favored by Lord Russell."
"Come on, what he did is not necessarily difficult. If it were you and me, wouldn't we be able to do it?" A knight said angrily, "To put it bluntly, we still didn't have the chance to become adults. Confidant!"
Another knight glanced at it and said: "If you work hard, Master Russell can still see us. Last year and this year, we have received two groups of followers, and this year during the Black Fire Festival, Master Russell will receive another group of followers." !”
At the celebration banquet in the territory before, Russell had already recruited a group of followers. There were still six great knights and twelve armored knights.
"Come on, maybe it has been decided." The knight complained.
"It's up to you if you want to think so." The other party responded, "Lord Russell may not see what you do, but Lord Russell will definitely not see if you don't do anything."
"Tsk!"
The knights in charge left unhappily, but no matter who they were, their work attitude became much more serious - everyone wanted to be noticed by Russell, and the dragon's attention might be just a polite remark, but being noticed by Russell would really make you rich!
...
In the Shadow Flame Volcano, the platform on the magma was full of senior officials and elected princes.
The head of the Shadow Flame Dragon floated above the magma, and the field of vision of the pupil was just flush with the platform, allowing it to sweep everyone's face.
Gulp.
The magic dragon language sounded, and Lord Welch, the Minister of Volcano, acted as a simultaneous interpreter: "Your Highness Shadow Flame began to ask... Are the people in various regions of the Grand Duchy really... uh, making up the relationship between Russell and Shadow Flame?"
As soon as the word "arrange" came out.
The eyes of Earl Osklo, Baron Kunbiff and others suddenly lit up, as if they felt that the Shadow Flame Dragon was denying it.
Earl Merlin responded: "Perhaps Russell's promotion to the High Dragon Domain Lord and his sword slashing the Frost Troll Ge boosted the morale of the people. Indeed, there have been a lot of calls from all over the place, involving Your Highness Shadow Flame's knight selection."
Gulp.
Welch continued to interpret simultaneously: "So what do you think of the relationship between Shadow Flame and Russell?"
Earl Osklo immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Highness Shadow Flame, I think that as wise as you are, you will never care about the impulsive calls of some serfs. You are the patron saint of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family, and you will continue to protect the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame until eternity!"
However, the Shadow Flame Dragon seemed to ignore his thoughts at all.
The magic dragon language gurgled continuously, asking through Welch's mouth: "Little Merlin, you answer me."
Earl Merlin was silent for a few seconds.
He responded softly: "Your Highness Shadow Flame, Merlin respects your decision, and the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy will respect your decision."
"Little rascal!" Shadow Flame Dragon raised his head and looked at the crater above his head, "The frost trolls are coming, Shadow Flame feels that there will be more frost trolls coming... The change of the times has come, are you ready?"
Earl Merlin said respectfully: "Please guide the direction, Your Highness Shadow Flame!"
"Mist, heavy fog obscures the eyes, Shadow Flame can't see the juncture of this change, how to choose." There was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the Shadow Flame Dragon. Although it has lived for more than 400 years, it has been dormant most of the time.
The judgment of the current situation will also be confused.
"Then do you need a knight?" Earl Merlin thought for a while and asked.
"Yes." Shadow Flame Dragon gave an affirmative answer.
"Then are you willing to choose Russell?" Earl Merlin asked straightforwardly, not intending to beat around the bush with Shadow Flame Dragon.
Silence for a moment.
Shadow Flame Dragon responded indifferently: "Time will give all the answers, little Merlin, just do your work and don't think too much."
