Chapter 551: Clarifying the Relationship
Inside Shadowflame Volcano.
The passage door slowly closed, and Russell was the only one standing on the platform, with the double-fold lightning mark and tornado mark shining brightly on his forehead.
"Russell, you are finally here!"
The gurgling magic dragon language sounded, and the shadow flame dragon's head was level with the platform, and its eyes on the left and right sides looked forward at the same time.
Staring at Russell and looking at it carefully: "The power of the phantom dragon is really interesting. The little phantom beast can actually master such a huge power of thunder. Why doesn't this little guy named Baoli come out and take a few steps?"
Russell smiled slightly and said: "Okay!"
The next moment, the double-fold lightning mark on his forehead turned into the sacred unicorn Baoli. Baoli nodded to the Shadow Flame Dragon as a greeting.
"Is this the Phantom Dragon-Holy Unicorn? It's a beautiful horse." Shadow Flame Dragon said, "With your promotion, Shadow Flame has fully recovered. Shadow Flame now is the same as it was decades ago. Just as powerful.”
"It is our honor to be able to help His Highness Shadow Flame," Russell said.
Baoli didn't like facing the Shadow Flame Dragon. The oppressive feeling made her feel uncomfortable, so she quickly transformed into the mark of the God of Thunder - the single-fold lightning was the mark of the Lord of Thunder. After upgrading to the double-fold lightning, Renamed Mark of the God of Thunder by Russell.
The dragon is a god.
Baoli also has the power of the dragon, so she can naturally be called a god.
"Shadow Flame wants to give you a reward, Russell!" The Shadow Flame Dragon stared closely at Russell, its pupils filled with Russell's figure.
Russell happily accepted this: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"What reward do you want, a fantasy beast, an elf, a flying dragon, a title, a territory, a population? Or do you want to further cooperate with Shadow Flame?" The tone of the Shadow Flame dragon seemed to be full of temptation.
Russell's heart beat a little faster: "How to cooperate further?"
The Shadow Flame Dragon didn't answer.
Russell narrowed his eyes and became silent.
After a while, the mumbled magical dragon language finally sounded again: "The Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame is about to enter a new era, Russell, Shadow Flame wants you to rule, so that your whimsical ideas in the territory can bloom throughout the Grand Duchy!"
"Let me take power?" Russell was a little surprised, but not happy. "Is this what you mean by further cooperation?"
The Shadow Flame Dragon blinked: "Then what do you think we can do to further cooperate?"
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Russell felt that the Shadow Flame Dragon seemed to be "teasing" himself, or was waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
Perhaps, as long as he opens his mouth, the fact that countless people are looking forward to will come true.
But Russell thought for a moment and gave up taking the initiative to speak. If the Shadow Flame Dragon didn't take the initiative, he wouldn't take the initiative. Anyway, he wasn't the one who was anxious. And he already has a little Menglong. No matter what, he must not let down the little Menglong.
"I don't need the status of chief executive. I think my grandpa has done a pretty good job in governing. I will still go to Enron to develop my little oasis of Yunmengze."
This answer.
The Shadow Flame Dragon frowned, anger flashing in its pupils, but soon, the Shadow Flame Dragon suppressed this anger.
It said lightly: "All humans in the entire country are waiting for you to rule, and Shadow Flame also needs you to govern this country. Only in this way can the alliance of Ice Cream and Shadow Flame defeat the torrent of blazing heat and bandits!"
"I have no experience in governing the territory. My territory is also managed by my elder brother Roland. I just provide some inspiration and guide the development of the territory." Russell said that he indeed lacked the ability to govern the country.
But the Shadow Flame Dragon's words changed his mind: "You need to accumulate experience, because you will eventually become a monarch!"
"You're right!" Russell nodded, "I really need to gain experience!"
Since his elder brother Roland helped manage the territory, he gradually learned to be lazy and fell in love with the feeling of being a hands-off boss.
Just as Shadow Flame Dragon said, he will one day follow Little Menglong to create a new country and become the head of state. Perhaps the head of state does not need to worry about all mankind like King Ares, but many things must not be left to others.
He needs to personally decide.
Ruling the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame is a good opportunity to accumulate experience in this area.
"Let's make a duke." Shadow Flame Dragon said, "A hereditary and irreplaceable duke, but does your human system support the grand duke to make a duke?"
"Obviously not supported."
"Then make him a marquis."
"As you wish." Russell happily accepted.
Further cooperation was reached. Seeing that the Shadow Flame Dragon had stopped talking, Russell was about to stand up and leave.
When he turned around and walked towards the passage door.
The mumbled magic dragon language suddenly sounded again: "Russell, I'll give you another chance to choose. Are you willing to further cooperate with Shadow Flame?"
Russell's footsteps paused.
But he did not look back. He was silent for three seconds and said without looking back: "Your Highness Yingyan, we might as well make things clear. Ice cream will be my first contracted dragon... and you can have a lot of it. Time to consider whether to become my second contracted dragon!"
"Presumptuous!" The Shadow Flame Dragon roared.
Russell quietly prepared Paulie in his mind to escape into the dark dreamland and run away at any time, but on the surface he remained motionless.
Standing in front of the gate, with his back to the Shadow Flame Dragon, he said: "You have enough time to think about it, maybe this is humiliation for you, maybe you will be happy with this choice. In the future, I, Russell Fluorescent Mushroom , destined to create a new era!”
Finished.
He pushed open the tightly closed door and strode out of the Shadow Flame Volcano. The Shadow Flame Dragon neither roared nor attacked him.
He watched Russell leave in silence, and then the guard outside the passage slowly closed the door again.
There was a strange light flashing in the eyes of the Shadow Flame Dragon.
When the door was completely closed, the Shadow Flame Dragon also closed his eyes and slowly sank into the magma.
Outside the door.
Lord Welch, the Minister of the Volcano, respectfully followed Russell along the passage toward the Red Castle, and whispered: "The Chief Executive has summoned the elders and ministers, and they are waiting for you in the Senate Hall."
"Actually, there is really nothing to say. I can't be promoted to the Phantom Dragon Knight in a few words, and it's not easy to find Shuangda after he escaped this time."
"Actually, everyone is not asking you how to be promoted to the Phantom Dragon Knight, or where Shuangda went." Lord Welch explained, "We elders and ministers want to know more about your relationship with His Highness Shadow Flame, and whether your current strength can match that of the Dragon Knight."
Russell's promotion to the Phantom Dragon Knight is equivalent to the birth of another dragon-like existence in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, which is of great significance.
Only by clarifying Russell's strength and the relationship between Russell and the Shadow Flame Dragon can the Senate adjust its policy.
"Okay, I'll go to the Senate."
Soon the two of them walked through the long underground passage, walked to the Red Castle, and then walked along the corridor into the Senate Hall.
Hualala...
Earl Merlin took the lead, and several senior officials stood up and applauded to welcome the unique Phantom Dragon Knight of Longmian Continent.
Russell smiled and nodded, and finally looked at Earl Merlin.
Earl Merlin also looked at Russell. He became numb to the surprise brought by his grandson like everyone else. Dragon Domain Lord, High Dragon Domain Lord, Phantom Dragon Knight... There is no doubt that he will become a Dragon Knight next.
Earl Merlin will no longer have any doubts about this.
He faced Russell, slowly stretched out his right hand, and hit it heavily on his left chest, performing a standard knight's salute: "Earl Leiyan, as the chief ruler of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, on behalf of all citizens, I extend my warmest congratulations to you!"
