Chapter 539 Warm Welcome
After leaving the Black Horse Snow Forest, the team traveled on the snowfield for two days and entered the territory of the Blazing Torrent Kingdom.
Russell could clearly feel the radiation of the power of the Fiery Dragon, which made people feel at ease even on the snowfield.
"We have successfully arrived at the Blazing Torrent Kingdom." Cousin Mel breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought Shuangda might attack you, the future big man, but I didn't expect to pass through the snowfield smoothly all the way. I am really a little disappointed."
Russell rode on the back of the pseudo-nightmare dragon Senbula and smiled: "This shows that I am not a big man yet and I am not taken seriously by Shuangda."
"It will regret it, regret not killing you when you were weak."
"Haha, I am standing here, Shuangda can't kill me." Russell smiled confidently, the dark dream is his confidence to be invincible.
Another three days of travel.
The team finally entered the familiar warm enclave, which is also the location of the first Shadow Flame Scale Tower, the territory of the mountain cat baron Bosk Baogai Grass, Cat's Eye Emerald.
"Lord Russell, Lord Mel, you have come all the way here, you must have worked hard. Come into the castle and have a rest!" Baron Bosc had sent people to wait at the edge of the territory early, and quickly led Russell and his party to the Emerald Castle.
"Lord Bosc, thank you for your trouble." Russell replied with a smile.
Bosc laughed and said, "It is the honor of the Emerald Castle that the high-level dragon domain lord who has pioneered the future of the way of knights has come to the Emerald Castle!"
Then he introduced a middle-aged knight next to him: "This is the younger brother of Earl Jinzhi, Lord Ager. Inula."
Lord Ager. Inula stepped forward and saluted with his chest: "Lord Mel and I have known each other for a long time. I am honored to meet Lord Russell for the first time today."
Count Jinzhi is Ade Lieyang, Mel's future father-in-law, and Ager. Inula is his younger brother. As a collateral bloodline of the Lieyang royal family, Ade Lieyang was given the surname Lieyang because he successfully rode a dragon.
The rest of the family still use Inula as their surname.
It is a bit like Swan Baron Kunbiff Shadowflame, who is a dragon knight and can use Shadowflame as his surname, but his sons and grandsons can only use Sunflower as their surname.
"You are too polite, Lord Agger." Russell responded politely.
After introducing his uncle Sethro and others, everyone entered the Emerald Castle under the leadership of Baron Bosk.
Banquet and overnight stay.
The next day, they said goodbye to Baron Bosk and followed Lord Agger to the Huanghua Hill, the fief of Count Jinzhi. Huanghua Hill is not a warm enclave, but a fief on the volcanic oasis, not far from the capital Nuanyang City.
"After receiving the message from Marquis Arnold, knowing that Lord Russell was coming, the Earl was very happy and even went to the Lieyang Palace to invite His Majesty to attend the engagement banquet, and His Majesty agreed!" Lord Agger said excitedly.
After a pause, he smiled again and said, "It is an honor to have your Majesty and Mr. Russell attend the engagement party of Anne and Mel!"
King Ares is a dragon knight.
In the eyes of the nobles of the two countries, Russell is also about to become a dragon knight.
An engagement party with two dragon knights attending can be said to be an unprecedented honor and pomp, which is comparable to when Princess Anxia married into the Red Castle-at that time, Quentin III Shadow Flame was still alive.
Three days later, the team successfully arrived at the Yellow Flower Hill.
It was mid-April at this time, and the warm season had arrived. The endless Yellow Flower Hill was full of chrysanthemums like small wild chrysanthemums, dyeing the entire earth into a dazzling yellow.
At the post station at the entrance of the territory, Earl Ade also sent another lord to greet him.
With Lord Ag, he led Russell, Mel and his party to the Summer Chrysanthemum Castle in the center of the Yellow Flower Hill territory. The tall Xiaju Castle is built with yellow rocks, which blends in with the yellow flowers all over the surrounding mountains.
At the gate of the castle, there is a row of nobles in gorgeous clothes on the left, and male and female servants in black and white uniforms on the right.
When Russell and his party arrived at the gate, the nobles and servants who greeted them immediately applauded warmly.
"Mr. Russell, welcome to Xiaju Castle." Earl Ade and his wife stood in the middle of the gate.
Russell turned over and dismounted. The mark of the Lord of Storm Thunder on his forehead added a mysterious temperament to him: "Thank you for the hospitality, Earl and Lady."
Then he nodded to the other nobles one by one.
Finally, his eyes fixed on a lady with a bright smile, stepped forward, held her hand and kissed her hand: "This is Miss Anne, you are really beautiful, no wonder you can capture the heart of my cousin Mel."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Russell." Anne Inula responded with a smile.
Her mouth was a little big, but it did not ruin her beauty, but made her smile more contagious.
When Mel walked forward, the couple who were about to get engaged immediately looked at each other affectionately.
Russell made way.
Then he saw a familiar person among the nobles who were welcoming him: "Velim."
"Teacher." Phoenix Baron Velim Kinnari immediately bowed and saluted with a very respectful attitude, "I heard that you would attend the engagement party, so I came to Xiaju Castle early in the morning to wait for your arrival."
His aunt was the wife of Count Ade, so he and Anne were cousins.
"What level have you cultivated to?"
"I am not proficient enough in the transformation of fighting spirit into armor." Velim said with a little shame. He has been promoted to the Fantasy Beast Knight for almost two years.
This progress of cultivation seemed too slow to Russell.
But Russell also knew that he could not compare himself with ordinary people. His cultivation speed was the best in the entire Longmian Continent.
So he comforted him: "It's okay, take your time."
After the courtesy, everyone followed Earl Ade into Xiaju Castle. After the host and guest sat down, they began to discuss how to arrange the engagement banquet.
Russell had no experience, so he just drank tea slowly, and his uncle Sethro was responsible for communicating with Earl Ade.
Finally, a plan was discussed to hold the engagement banquet at the end of April, inviting only relatives and a few nobles who were friendly with the Inula family, and no longer inviting guests - with King Ares and Russell present, the engagement banquet was high enough.
"Please, Mr. Russell, stay in Xiaju Castle for a while." The Countess smiled and said.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you." Russell replied.
…
After the banquet, Russell finally took the time to check the student Welim's training and give him some pointers.
After performing a set of swordsmanship, Welim was already sweating.
But his eyes became brighter and brighter. Seeing that there was no one else in the martial arts field, he mustered up the courage to say: "Teacher, Welim wants to ask for your help to hunt a blue-skinned horse and take back Jinnari's flesh crown!"
"You found Jinnari's flesh crown?" Russell was surprised.
The first generation of Phoenix Baron, Dragon Domain Lord West Jinnari, followed his pseudo-dragon Jinnari and died in the snow.
Jinnari's pseudo-dragon horn, that is, the flesh crown, was also lost in the snow.
Unexpectedly, it was actually found by Willim. He responded: "Yes, teacher, my family's knights and I have been searching for half a year in the snowy field where my great-grandfather fell. Finally, we found this flesh crown on the head of a blue-skinned horse."
Unfortunately, the blue-skinned horse was too powerful and elusive, so Willim couldn't get the flesh crown back.
Ordinary dragon knights were not sure to defeat the blue-skinned horse.
So Willim could only ask Russell for help.
