Warm Dragon

"You don't like the name Red Eye?"

"Jiji!"

"You also want to be called Kevin?"

"Jiji!"

There is no doubt that Russell can be sure that the strange whispers he just heard came from the Red Eyed Rat King.

The ability to listen to the whispers of the phantom beasts brought by the Extraction Berry does exist.

It's just a matter of probability. Russell can't always hear the whispers of the phantom beasts. As for when he can hear it and when he can't hear it, he has to slowly explore.

"Kevin already exists, you can't call him Kevin anymore." Under the disappointed gaze of the Red Eyed Rat King, Russell said slowly, "But you can call him Jerry. Jerry is a household name and sounds better than Kevin."

"Jiji!" The Red Eyed Rat King nodded wildly, obviously liking the name Jerry very much.

Of course.

It is also possible that it just wants a more normal name, instead of using a nickname like Red Eye as a name.

"Very good, from now on, you will be called Red Eyed Rat King Jerry."

At lunch that day, Russell announced the new name of the Red Eyed Rat King, Jerry, to everyone.

"Jerry, well, what a nice name." Charles, who came to eat and drink again, commented on the name perfunctorily, "But I still prefer the fragrance of pink wine. This fine wine from Sanchakou is intoxicating."

Pink wine was brought back by Russell from Sanchakou. There is not much, and one less bottle is one less.

Today, he met the fairy Saiban and got Xuelin's blessing. He was very happy, so he was willing to take out the pink wine.

"Not as good as brandy." Eric said in a muffled voice.

Charles immediately despised: "Even if you become a fantasy beast knight, you are still powerless in tasting fine wine. Maybe in your mouth, no wine can compare to brandy, because what you love is not wine, but alcohol."

"Bullshit, I also love Bingshao, that is wine." Eric retorted.

"That's just because the degree of Bingshao is higher and stronger, so it suits your taste."

Charles said disdainfully: "True taste should start from the four aspects of color, fragrance, taste and rhyme...Look at the color, it's like pink and black, beautiful...Smell the fragrance, the fragrance is overflowing, the fruity flavor is rich...Taste, plump and tall, smooth and soothing..."

After swallowing the red wine gently, Charles shook the goblet and said intoxicatedly: "Like a lingering song, like a moment of greed, pink and white, pink and white, not only the name of grapes, but also the gentleness contained in red wine."

Eric had nothing to say, just rolled his eyes.

Russell clapped his hands gently: "Teacher Charles, you are definitely an expert in wine tasting."

"Your Excellency is too kind, this is just my little hobby for fine wine." Charles responded proudly.

...

After lunch.

Old Hans, who went to the cigar factory to preside over the work, rushed back and brought back a construction team from the town.

When Russell saw the captain of the construction team, he immediately said, "Captain Candice, you have built the official dormitory of the small market well, so I asked Old Hans to continue to invite you to help me renovate this manor villa."

"I am honored to receive your recognition, Lord Russell. My team members and I will definitely renovate the manor villa for you seriously."

"Okay, let's take a look at the manor villa first, and then discuss an overall renovation plan together."

"Okay, Lord Russell, please go first."

"Old Hans, go ahead. Morris, you go to receive the construction team and arrange temporary accommodation for them."

"Yes, sir."

Then Russell and Captain Candice went around the manor villa up and down, and expressed their needs to add a layer to the back house.

"It's not difficult, Lord Russell, especially since the size of the slag bricks you produce is consistent, which makes it easier to build walls." Captain Candice said confidently, "It's just that the construction time may be a bit long. The materials used in your manor villa are too solid, and it's troublesome to renovate."

When Baron Roman built the manor villa, he naturally wouldn't cut corners.

Therefore, the materials used in the manor villa are almost the same as those used in the fluorescent castle, and various magical materials are added to the gaps in the stone walls.

The strength is comparable to that of a fortress.

It is indeed time-consuming and laborious to rely on stonemasons and carpenters to dig manually.

"It's okay, take your time." Russell said, "You can start construction after I get up in the morning, and you can work overtime at night until I go to bed... In short, on the basis of ensuring quality, complete it as soon as possible."

Captain Candice calculated silently for a while and said, "I can assure you, Lord Russell, that the renovation of the manor villa will be completed within three months, and it will only be advanced and not delayed."

"Okay."

After the decision was made, the construction team entered the site that afternoon.

Because the workers needed to renovate many places, the entire back house could no longer be lived in. Fortunately, the servants could squeeze into the front house.

And the guest rooms on the second floor could also be arranged for living. Anyway, Russell didn't need to receive guests recently.

"Sir, your manor villa is being renovated, why not give it a name." Charles came again at dinner time in the evening.

This time, even Eric learned bad things and came with Kevin, saying in a muffled voice: "Three floors, barely a small castle."

With money in his pocket, Russell didn't care about the two people's free meals.

He smiled and said, "Then change the name, but this can't be considered a small castle. If you really name it a castle, people will laugh at you."

"No one dares to laugh at you in this territory." Charles said.

"What about outside the territory?"

"Well, there shouldn't be many people who dare to laugh at you."

"But there will still be people who laugh at me... Anyway, I don't want to call it a castle, so let's call it Cigar Courtyard." Russell thought of a name that he thought was good, "My territory will definitely be famous in the Grand Duchy with Yulong cigars in the future, and Cigar Courtyard is just right."

"Your name is so good, it matches the territory perfectly!" Charles immediately flattered him.

Russell then smiled and looked at Eric.

Eric said in a muffled voice: "That's right."

"Very good, since both teachers agree, then... Captain Candice, come here." Russell called Captain Candice, "Go back and find two stonemasons to carve the words Cigar Courtyard on the door head."

Captain Candice replied: "As you wish."

At this time, the knight's squire Jack rode back: "Sir, the thorn seeds you wanted to buy have been bought."

Thorns are common hedge plants, so there are seeds specially sold in the town of Ghost Light.

Russell did not take the seeds, but asked Butler Morris to take them and keep them. He just ordered: "Charles, you arrange a few serfs to come and do labor tomorrow to help me plant thorn hedges."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's go, two teachers, have dinner together in the Cigar Courtyard tonight." Russell invited.

Charles immediately laughed and said: "I am honored to be invited by the sir, but I don't know if I can continue to taste the pink wine tonight."

Russell said without turning his head: "No."

"Uh..." Charles was embarrassed.

Eric's mouth curled up. Seeing Charles being humiliated, he felt happy in his heart. Then he patted Kevin's head and said, "Go find Red... No, go find Jerry to play."
