Warm Dragon

The oasis is a large area of ​​land around the volcano that is not invaded by ice and snow all year round. The entire Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame is built on the volcanic oasis.

The vastness of the oasis is hard to describe.

The large tracts of fertile land here belong to the Red Castle and the Shadow Flame family. The previous and subsequent generations of Grand Dukes have successively enfeoffed nearly 300 lords around the territory to protect the entire oasis. It makes it difficult for wind and snow to penetrate.

However, outside the oasis, there are also some warm enclaves similar to "satellites", such as Sancha River Mouth and Youguang Valley.

The Shadow Flame Family is unable to control it, so it enfeoffs two earls and five barons to rule these warm enclaves, guarding the vast oasis like satellites, and becoming a nail that the snow demons and snow ghosts cannot avoid before they want to invade the oasis.

Because they are satellite enclaves, these warm places cannot be directly connected to the oasis, so they have to open up trade routes on the snowfield.

The Mountain and River Trade Road is a trade route connecting the oasis to the Youguang Valley.

The fluorescent mushroom family is responsible for construction and cleaning.

"The snow ghosts are really weak this year. It's not even the hot summer yet, why are they so weak?" Lord Atlas complained.

"Stop complaining, Atlas," said Baron Roman. "With fewer snow ghosts, we can focus more on the territory and manage it well. If possible, we can take the opportunity to open up some new arable land."

"This requires population, sir." Atlas said, "If the thunder beasts can pull carts earlier this year, can we do some serf trade?"

"Yes, sir." Lord Marcus also said, "The oasis has been resting for 20 years, and the population has increased a lot. We can buy and sell a batch to enrich the territory."

Compared with the oasis, the satellite enclave is a bitter and cold place, and the population has been slow to increase.

Naturally, thinking about buying and selling serfs from the oasis.

Hearing such a conversation, Russell immediately pricked up his ears. Although the serf trade easily reminded him of the slave trade, he did not think of abusing serfs like animals, but was preparing to introduce a group of immigrants to farm.

In his previous life, in his hometown on Earth, all the big cities were competing for population and introducing various preferential policies.

He secretly thought: "If I set the welfare benefits higher, maybe I can attract some outstanding talents to settle in the Black-waisted Snake Manor!"

At this time, Baron Roman said: "Let's restore the thunder beast to pull the cart first. The sale of serfs requires the permission of the Red Castle. We can test the Grand Duke's tone first."

The plan was decided.

After the meeting, they had a big meal at noon. In the afternoon, the lords returned to their territories and began to prepare the knight team.

Russell was no exception.

In addition to the morning and evening classes of the knights, he also added a few classes for the practice of fighting spirit and martial arts. As the saying goes, sharpening a spear before a battle is not fast, but it is bright. The trip to the snowfield can certainly make money, but there will always be dangers, so we have to guard against it.

"Chiji!"

While practicing the "Yaoguang Sword Technique", the mushroom bird Rosie landed on his shoulder, swaying with Russell's ups and downs, and then combing her beautiful green feathers from time to time, which was very cute.

Russell stopped swinging his sword and gently touched Rosie's head: "Little guy, go play somewhere else. I still need to practice swordplay."

"Chiji." Rosie was very human and flew away obediently.

However, it did not fly back to the manor courtyard, but flew outside like a real bird. After the speed was added up, it was like an arrow from a string, so fast that the eyes could not see it.

In the blink of an eye, it flew from the manor courtyard to the magic potion village.

It came to see its own Cordyceps.

On the trunk of the thickest birch tree, the fluorescent mushroom Cordyceps grew vigorously. Although it could not glow during the day, it was still green and dazzling.

"Chiji." Rosie liked her Cordyceps. It landed on the trunk and pecked at some of the flaws on the Cordyceps a few times to peck away the flaws, so that the Cordyceps would grow more beautiful, as beautiful as it.

Suddenly.

A bee buzzed over. It was a bear bee from the bear bee farm in the birch forest, coming to find a source of honey.

However, there were obviously no flowers in the birch forest, so the bumblebees flew away disappointed.

Rosie became interested, followed the bumblebees, and quickly flew to the bumblebee farm, where she saw a large group of bumblebees busy coming in and out.

This made Rosie very happy, and she flew directly into the group of bumblebees.

As if they knew it was a magical creature, the bumblebees did not cause a commotion because of Rosie's arrival, and they still collected pollen and built hives seriously.

"Ah!"

The wife of beekeeper Kenny the Bearded saw Rosie playing in the beehive and called her husband: "Look, here comes a beautiful little bird!"

When Kenny the Bearded saw it, he immediately pulled his wife: "What little bird? This is the mushroom bird, Ms. Rosie!"

"Ah?"

"Didn't you hear the village chief say that the lord has a beautiful green mushroom bird, Ms. Rosie. All the people in the territory are forbidden to do anything to harm the green bird, and those who violate the rules will be killed immediately!"

"Ah!"

"Stop it, come and pay your respects to Ms. Rosie." Kenny the Bearded pulled his wife and quickly came to the beehive, bowing to Rosie from a distance, "We didn't know Ms. Rosie was here, we are so rude, I hope you don't blame me, have fun here."

Rosie tilted her head, not knowing what these two people were doing.

But soon it lost interest, and also lost interest in the swarm of bears and bees. It flapped its wings and flew away like an arrow.

It was long after Rosie left that the bearded Kenny's wife complained: "I don't know if Rosie has eaten the queen bee. There are only a few queen bees in the bee colony!"

"How is it possible? Your Excellency Rosie is a magical creature, a mushroom bird!" said the bearded Kenny. "It doesn't eat these things. It only eats jade powder. Did you know that jade powder is a companion of metals and gemstones? Just eat jade powder!”

"Okay, but Mr. Russell is really generous. Do you want such a beautiful mushroom bird to just fly around?"

"No one dares to hurt it, and no one can hurt it." Bearded Kenny knows a lot, "I heard that elves and mushroom birds can be reborn. Even if you kill it, it can be reborn from Cordyceps. Woolen cloth!"

Then he added: "And you also saw its speed. It disappeared in a swish. Who can catch up with it?"

"You can always get it online."

"Maybe it can pierce the net... Anyway, don't think about it. It's the treasure of the noble gentlemen, and it's not something we like us can care about."

"Think about it, you won't violate the taboos of noble lords." Bearded Kenny's wife murmured in a low voice.

The bearded Kenny glared: "I can't even think about it. The dragon is watching me. I am a nobleman who is watched by the dragon!"

As soon as the dragon was mentioned, the bearded Kenny's wife immediately shrank her neck and said obediently: "I know, I won't think about it anymore... The dragon is above me, I haven't thought about anything, you must not Watch me."

The giant dragon is the most devout faith in Longmian Continent.

"Chi-chi, chi-chi!" Rosie, the mushroom bird, flew back to the manor's courtyard. It happened that Russell had finished his extra lessons, so it landed on Russell's shoulder and chirped, seeming to be telling what happened when he went out to play today. Interesting thing.

Feeling the happiness in the little guy's heart, Russell also became happy and laughed: "You can only walk around nearby, you can't run further, you know?"

"Jiji."
