Chapter 590 Death Intention
In the Long Court of the Molten Duchy, Russell truly saw what it meant to be a nation in mourning.
The low, sobbing sound resounded throughout the Long Court, regardless of the time of day or night, but from morning to night, even the wind was mixed with the smell of tears.
The temperature was still hot.
But there was no burning feeling of vitality, more like the soft and dry feeling brought by the autumn tiger.
White flags fluttered all over the Long Court, which was the mourning that would only be hung at funerals. Black banners also filled the alleys to mourn the dead Molten Dragon and Grand Duke Fritz Molten.
In the distance.
A large number of two-legged dragons were flying around the Molten Volcano, roaring like a cuckoo crying blood, heartbreaking.
They were wailing for their king!
Groups of ragged humans knelt at the foot of the Molten Volcano and climbed the volcano on their knees. There were also a large number of knights standing in every corner of the volcano, looking up at the crater, and mourning for the Molten Dragon.
This extinct volcano is still alive in the hearts of humans.
Russell rode the sacred unicorn Polly, slowed down from Mach 3 to normal speed, and then quickly flew close to the long court.
The sad atmosphere of the entire long court also affected him more or less.
Silently landed on the drop-off platform of the long court, which is the parking area for the wyvern. As soon as Russell landed, the guards of the long court came to receive him.
Polly quickly turned into a double-fold lightning and imprinted on Russell's head.
This scene made the guards stunned for a moment. They had never seen such a strange way of fusing fantasy beasts. The fantasy beasts of the fantasy beast knights could only take photos and transform into armor. However, the unfathomable pressure on Russell made the guards dare not neglect it.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, Grand Duke Shadow Flame, came to mourn the Molten Dragon and Grand Duke Fritz." Russell said word by word to prevent the other party from not understanding because of the accent.
Even so, the guard hesitated for a moment before exclaiming, "Are you Grand Duke Shadow Flame? I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry! I'll go and tell you about your arrival!"
A moment later.
Russell saw Grand Duke Fritz's heir, Viscount Fred, who was also his registered student, among a group of people rushing over.
"Your Highness!" Viscount Fred bowed and saluted. He was much more restrained and calm, with bloodshot eyes. "I heard from the thunder that you were coming, but the long court is now... very chaotic, and the guards were not notified. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"
"It's okay, I understand." Russell nodded, "Fred, I'm sorry."
Then several nobles around Fred saluted Russell one after another. They were all great nobles of the Molten Duchy.
Encircled by the crowd, Russell went to the hall deep in the long court and paid homage to the remains of Grand Duke Fritz.
The Molten Dragon has died, and its body has been taken away by the Frost Trolls. It is impossible to see its appearance.
Moreover.
At this point in time, the Molten Dragon has almost been refined by the Frost Trolls into an existence similar to the Frost Star Pearl. Maybe the Frost Trolls have eaten the Molten Dragon and are refining the dragon's original power to seek evolution.
"Sir Fred, I want to go to the Molten Volcano to pay my respects." Russell made a request.
Fred personally led the way, saying in a lonely tone: "Your Highness, please follow me. Now that the Molten Volcano is extinguished, the underground passage has collapsed, and you can only enter from the crater."
He rode a two-legged dragon.
Russell took a closer look at the two-legged dragon. The scales on the two-legged dragon's body had a lot of cracks, and even the skin had a lot of cracks, and the wing membranes of the wings had several small holes.
It was as if the whole body had begun to decay.
The power of the dragon's breath did not disappear due to the decay of the body. It was more like the dragon's breath lost the radiation of the dragon's flame power and began to degenerate into another form.
As if aware that Russell was observing the wyvern under his seat, Fred said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the Grand Duke should not have seen a wyvern fall. When you reach the crater, Your Highness the Grand Duke can catch a wyvern and observe it carefully."
Russell did not refuse: "Okay."
"Your Highness the Grand Duke is a pioneer and a mountain of the way of knights. Perhaps you can find inspiration from the fall of the wyvern." Fred sighed, "This may be the last few things that my Molten Duchy can do for the survival of mankind."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Fred." Russell comforted, "Although the Molten Dragon has fallen, the people of the Molten Duchy still need to carry its will and continue to reproduce in the Dragon Sleep Continent. Your responsibility is still very heavy."
Fred nodded slowly, with a strange look in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but did not speak immediately.
In this way, he accompanied Russell and flew into the Molten Volcano from the crater.
In the magma pool, the hot breath continued to erupt, but the pressure of the dragon had dissipated, and there was only an ordinary volcano left, which could no longer draw power from the earth and radiate warmth to the surroundings.
"Is this the extinct volcano?" Russell stretched out his hand and felt the breath in the crater.
"Death... is really a terrible thing." Baoli also felt sympathetic, "The warmth is being stripped away from here. It's a strange feeling. I actually feel a little chill in a volcano."
"This is not the chill in reality, this is the death felt by the soul."
"Russell, do you think that ice cream can erupt in this volcanic ruins and save this country?"
"It's theoretically feasible, but Xue Gao is still in a light sleep and can't communicate such detailed information." Russell shook his head in his heart, "Besides, I don't actually want Xue Gao to erupt here. It's too far from the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame."
"Hehe." Bao Li teased, "Doesn't Sembula have the talent of dream teleportation? You can take care of both ends."
"Uh... That being said, it's hard to say in terms of legal system. I am a citizen of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. The direct bloodline of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family is cut off, so I can take the opportunity to replace others and reach a contract agreement with Shadow Flame."
If the direct bloodline of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family had not been cut off, the Shadow Flame Dragon would not have been able to get rid of the contract power so easily.
Start a new business with Russell.
The Grand Duchy of Molten Fire is different. Although the dragon died in the battle, the bloodline of the Molten Fire Dragon Blood Family is flourishing. If Russell lets the little dream dragon erupt here, it is obvious that there is a suspicion of usurping the magpie's nest, and the Molten Fire Family is the owner of this territory.
Russell has already replaced one dragon blood family, and he doesn't want to replace another one. If you don't know, you might think he likes to steal other people's foundation.
"Fred." Russell turned around.
"Your Highness the Grand Duke."
"I want to stay in the Molten Fire Volcano and feel it carefully. I'll stay here tonight." Russell said, "The Long Court has many affairs, you go and deal with them yourself... Before I came, I talked to King Ares and I will properly help your people migrate."
"I thank Your Highness the Grand Duke for the displaced people of the Molten Fire Duchy!" Fred bowed deeply.
Looking at Russell who was already sitting cross-legged on the edge of the magma, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness the Grand Duke, will you and King Ares accept all the people of the Molten Fire Duchy? A population of eight million is a huge burden for any country."
"Yes, I can accept them all by myself." Russell nodded firmly, "Don't worry about this."
What he lacks is population!
Fred finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked hopefully, "Your Highness, Fred has lost everything. Can I go to the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, follow you, and start over under your command?"
