Warm Dragon

Lord Ross is a dragon, but not a real giant dragon, but a flying dragon with the attribute of clay dragon.

It is not a dragon made of clay, but it can produce clay.

It is not produced by pulling.

It is its habitat. Dragon breath and blood penetrate into the earth, and over time, clay ore, a metal deposit, will be born.

"Clay... metal?"

At first, Russell was also confused, but in the human cognition of this world, clay is a kind of metal, a metal that can become extremely hard through sintering.

Clay dragon Ross, since being contracted by the first generation of the Dark Light Baron, has been guarding the fluorescent mushroom family for more than 60 years.

Near the Dark Light Valley, three clay veins have been nourished one after another.

A large amount of clay is continuously produced, which is sintered into various exquisite ceramics by the family and sold to the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy and even abroad.

At the same time.

Clay dragon Ross is also the most powerful fighting force in the territory. Several times when the snow demon invaded, it relied on the dragon breath of clay dragon Ross to repel the snow demon.

Without the dragon, the Baron family will not be able to gain a foothold in the Valley of the Dark Light.

Fortunately, the lifespan of the flying dragon is very long, generally living for three to five hundred years, and the clay dragon Ross is less than seventy years old.

It can still protect the fluorescent mushroom family for several generations, or even more than ten generations.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to contract Sir Ross." On the way back to the fluorescent castle, Russell had completely given up this idea.

It's not that he doesn't have greed and doesn't want to become a dragon knight - the flying dragon knight is also a dragon knight.

It's not that he is gentle and modest, thinking that his elder brother Roland is the future baron and head of the family, and he should let Roland contract the clay dragon Ross.

It's because his identity as a traverser may have been discovered by Ross.

"The dragon's intuition is too sharp... If Sir Ross didn't know how to speak, I'm afraid..." Recalling the time when he just crossed over, Russell was scared.

At the beginning, he was eating Menglong ice cream while crossing the road, and was accidentally run over by a fully loaded dump truck like an assassin.

As soon as his consciousness dimmed, he descended into this body.

The predecessor's qualifications were a bit useless. He began to practice Dou Qi according to the Dou Qi Cultivation Manual at the age of 7, and only bred the Dou Qi seed at the age of 10.

Seeing that the coming-of-age ceremony was about to be held, the Dou Qi seed had not yet blossomed and bred real Dou Qi.

So he gritted his teeth and forcibly attacked the Dou Qi seed.

It led to the devil's obsession and the death of the person.

However, thanks to the predecessor's risking his life, the Dou Qi seed was able to blossom successfully. Therefore, after Russell's soul was integrated, he did not need to go through this difficulty again, and directly possessed the Dou Qi he dreamed of and became a qualified knight.

But.

As soon as he went out, he was stared at by Lord Ross who was entrenched in the tower of the Fluorescent Castle. Through a window, the pair of dragon eyes bigger than cow eyes stared at him for a quarter of an hour.

Russell had no doubt that if there was no restriction of the blood contract, Lord Ross would probably give him a dragon breath on the spot.

Burn him to ashes.

Forced by the contract, Lord Ross did not hurt him in the end, but his attitude towards him took a sharp turn for the worse.

In order to prevent others from discovering the clues, Russell immediately decided to stay away from Lord Ross. It happened that he was granted the title of Lord by his father, Baron Roman, at the coming-of-age ceremony and had his own fiefdom, so he would honestly develop the fiefdom in the future.

"As the second son of the baron, let me carry forward the noble qualities and give the opportunity to get close to Lord Ross to my eldest brother, the first heir to the baron."

The three riders said goodbye at the fork in the town.

"Teacher Charles, Teacher Eric, goodbye." Russell waved his hand.

The fork was divided into two roads, one leading to the town and the other leading to the castle on the mound. As the lord of the entire Dim Light Valley, the Fluorescent Mushroom Family did not live in the noisy and dirty town, but in the Fluorescent Castle independent of the town.

Charles took off his hat, bent down on the horse, bared his big yellow teeth, and smiled: "Lord Russell, looking forward to your good news."

Eric couldn't learn this trick, so he just said in a muffled voice: "Goodbye, Lord."

Waiting for Russell to ride away.

Charles invited, "It's still early in the sunset, let's have a drink in the tavern?"

"No."

"What a boring guy."

Seeing Eric turning around and leaving, Charles hurriedly followed him and said, "Don't you think Russell has changed recently? He used to be taciturn, but now he doesn't talk much, but he seems to be more assertive."

Eric replied, "The son of the Baron should be like this."

"I mean he has changed a lot."

"He has reached adulthood and promotion, and he is already a man."

"Well, it's true..." Charles nodded and agreed with what Eric said, "A knight can only be confident when he has fighting spirit."

At the end, he sighed again, "A real knight should bravely ride a dragon!"

Eric rolled his eyes.

As a great knight with a strong fighting spirit, he can't even ride a fantasy beast, let alone a dragon. In the entire Valley of the Dark Light, all the newly born fantasy beasts belong to the Baron family. Unless they have made great military achievements, there is no chance to contract.

"I hope... following Russell can achieve the goal of riding a fantasy beast..."

At the same time

Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, who was placed with hope, had already arrived at the gate of Fluorescent Castle.

This was a traditional stone castle, with walls built up with huge stone blocks and filled with various magical materials. Even if Dou Qi chopped on it, it would be difficult to leave obvious marks, and it was indestructible.

On the top of the towering tower, the flag of the fluorescent mushroom family is hung. A cluster of green mushroom patterns are embroidered in the flag, vaguely forming the shape of a skull.

That is the fluorescent mushroom, also known as the fluorescent mushroom, the most important source of magic potion for the family.

The flag flutters in the wind.

The green skull sways from side to side.

"Huh." Exhaling a breath of foul air, Russell drove his horse into the gate.

The guard standing guard at the door, wearing heavy leather armor, immediately saluted with one hand on his chest when he passed through the gate.

The stone archway, the long corridor bridge, and at the end is the fluorescent castle built with huge stones.

In order to show the glory of the family, the entire passage is paved with ceramic floor tiles, and even the outer wall of the main castle is covered with a layer of shiny silver-gray tiles.

The gray towers and walls are dark and heavy, while the silver-gray main castle is shining and beautiful.

This is a castle that has not experienced the baptism of war.

The snow demons in the snow-covered land have never broken through to the heart of the Glowing Valley; the frequent marriages between nobles in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame also ensured that there was little infighting. The occasional mottled marks were still scratched out by Lord Ross's claws.

"Chi, chi..."

Russell looked up and saw a black shadow passing over his head, making a sharp cry that was not quite proportional to his body size.

It was the clay dragon Ross who came back.

"Hum, hum." Although the black horse under the seat was majestic, it began to tremble when it felt the majesty of the dragon, and its nostrils kept blowing air.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Russell touched the black horse's neck.

Whoosh!

The passing black shadow landed on the tower on the other side of the castle, and the huge bat wings folded up. The claws under the wing membrane hooked on the edge of the tower like a hook. While maintaining its balance, it folded its thick hind legs on the edge of the tower.

Like a gargoyle, he squatted on the top of the tower, looking around at the fluorescent castle under his feet and the entire valley of the dim light.

The whole body was covered with fine dark red scales, overlapping each other, and looked almost black.

On the ferocious dragon head, the dragon eyes with vertical pupils were rolling around.

When he saw Russell riding home, he slightly bared his teeth, and two light dark red dragon breaths came out of his nostrils. Without staying for too long, he looked in other directions.

Russell calmed the black horse under his seat.

He did not look at the clay dragon Ross, but lowered his head to look at the palm of his left hand. There, as if stimulated by the clay dragon, the palm of his hand was slightly hot, and then a faint red mark was outlined, and the mark was in the shape of an "M".

If you look closely, you can see that it is a slender dragon, with its wings spread out and flying.

Clenched his fist.

The mark seemed to be extinguished, and there were stars and sparks flying out from the gap of the fist, mixed into the air and disappeared.

"I have a dragon too, but... I can only ride it in my dreams..."
