Warm Dragon

Splash!

On the surface of Mirror Lake, a big pink fish jumped out of the water, then fell heavily, splashing a large ball of water.

"This is the Mirror Lake Red Pig." Earl Merlin stood on the castle observation deck, with his hands behind his back, looking at the Mirror Lake that had broken its calm. "It is a fish unique to Mirror Lake. Adult Mirror Lake Red Pigs have a small chance of evolving into fantasy beasts. The Red Castle has a fantasy beast knight guard team that has contracted the Mirror Lake Red Pig."

"How do you fight after contracting a fish fantasy beast?"

"They don't need to fight in the snowfield. Their only mission is to guard the safety of the Red Castle. Of course, they can also follow the river downstream of Mirror Lake and patrol the vast manor farms directly under the jurisdiction of the Red Castle." Earl Merlin said, sitting down on the tea table nearby.

Then he picked up the warm soup tea and drank it in small sips: "Russell, why did you refuse to serve as the assistant to the Minister of Volcano?"

"I have my own reasons, grandpa, you will see it soon." Russell said.

He wanted to confess to his grandfather that he was about to become a black oil dragon knight, but before leaving last night, his father, Baron Roman, specifically reminded him to tell him not to reveal the news to outsiders, using the survival method of the fluorescent mushroom family.

Parents and eldest brother, that's enough, grandfather, aunt, cousin, sister, etc., don't tell anyone.

"Keep a low profile, and you will last long." Baron Roman said at the time, "First, confirm your identity as the Black Oil Dragon Knight, and then share this honor with everyone. Otherwise, if too many people know, you may get into trouble."

Fortunately, Earl Merlin did not dwell on this issue, but said: "If you don't want to be the Minister of Volcano, just an assistant."

"Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa."

"The Cloud and Mist series of Rain Dragon cigars you brought me are very good." Earl Merlin said, "I have carefully observed that each cigar is wrapped with a separate piece of tobacco leaf, without any flaws."

"Each Rain Dragon cigar represents the life of a knight. If it is made of broken leaves, wouldn't it be an incomplete life of a knight."

"Very good, this makes me look forward to the Frost series even more."

"When I return to the territory, I will have someone make 300 boxes of the Frost series as soon as possible." Russell said, "But Grandpa, I don't know what to do with the 100 boxes of the Frost series for Grand Duke Kunstan."

When mentioning Grand Duke Kunstan, Earl Merlin's eyes darkened.

Then he replied easily: "If you want the Rain Dragon cigar to sell well, give it to Arnold Lieyang, and let the nobles of the Blazing Torrent Kingdom taste the life of a knight. Then you can strive for a place in the Shadow Flame Caravan. Selling this will definitely make money."

Every year, the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy will trade with the Blazing Torrent Kingdom, but the caravan has limited places.

"Okay, grandpa."

"Grow more tobacco. Selling cigars is always more beneficial to the Grand Duchy than selling food and magic potions."

Russell nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Shadow Flame Grand Duchy was seriously injured after this battle, and it will inevitably rely on the help of the Blazing Torrent Kingdom in the future. Since you need help from others, you must be polite to others. A part of the Grand Duchy's food and magic potions must flow into the Blazing Torrent Kingdom.

Although the Dragon Sleep Continent is an extraordinary world, there is no difference between human nature and the essence of society.

The weak will be beaten, either plundered or dumped. Fortunately, the dragon of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame was only seriously injured, so it was still acceptable.

At this time, a servant dressed as a butler came to the observation deck: "Master, it's already 3:40, and you have to go to the Senate to preside over the meeting at 4 o'clock."

Russell heard this and immediately stood up: "Grandpa, then I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

"Well, go, and also bring a message to your father for me."

"Please go."

"Bring Ross to the Red Castle to admit his mistakes. As the Minister of Finance, he should be conscious and don't wait for me to speak for everything." Earl Merlin said lightly, "If Ross doesn't come, I will charge him with desertion."

"Uh..." Russell smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I will immediately bring your instructions to my father."

Leaving Earl Merlin's independent castle, Russell did not delay and returned to Baron Roman's tower again, waiting until eight o'clock in the evening.

Baron Roman came back alone, and Roland did not follow.

"Father."

"It's Russell. How about having a drink together, Lord Black Oil Dragon Knight?" Baron Roman was in a good mood and wanted to tease Russell.

Russell shook his head and said, "No more, father. I'm waiting for you to come back because Grandpa asked me to bring you a message."

"What message?"

"Grandpa asked you to bring Lord Ross to the Red Castle to admit his mistake, otherwise Lord Ross will be sentenced to desertion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baron Roman's comfortable look disappeared, frowned and paced back and forth in the study: "It's unnecessary, your grandfather presided over the elders' meeting, why should he be so serious... Lord Ross, Ross... It's just that the situation is critical, it was just a step slower!"

When it comes to the two-legged flying dragon at home, Russell can't say much, after all, this dragon is regarded as a forbidden delicacy by his father and eldest brother.

He also has his own dragon, so it's better not to point fingers.

However, Baron Roman took the initiative to ask Russell: "Do you think I should bring Mr. Ross here to admit his fault?"

"Father, maybe you can go and talk to grandpa." Russell gave his own advice.

"What are you talking about? Your grandpa is so stubborn, I can't say a word to him!" Baron Roman said angrily, "He only cares about his own feathers. As for the affairs of relatives and family, he doesn't care at all!"

"Well, grandpa may just put public interests first and private interests second." Russell advised.

"What do you mean by public interests first and private interests second? The shadow... dragon has already fallen asleep, who will investigate what Lord Ross did! Did Lord Ross not hunt the snow demon, or did he not participate in the war? If he has to come and confess, what if Lord Ross's self-esteem is hurt?"

Baron Roman complained for a long time, but he also understood that since Earl Merlin said so, avoiding the problem would not solve the problem.

He was so angry that he hammered the table, knocking off the corner of the table: "I will bring Lord Ross here, but it is not Lord Ross who should admit his fault, but me!"

"Father, what do you mean?"

"It was me who told Lord Ross not to support... the dragon. If the dragon wants to blame someone, just blame me. I don't care if I am the finance minister." Baron Roman was determined, "Lord Ross has protected my fluorescent mushroom family for sixty or seventy years. I can't let its pride fall to pieces!"

"Father!" Russell looked at Baron Roman, who was full of responsibility, and suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing for Earl Merlin to pursue Lord Ross's desertion.

Lord Ross's knot always needs to be untied, otherwise he will never let anyone ride.

He smiled and said, "Father, I support your decision. Lord Ross deserves the blame we bear for him. Without Lord Ross's protection, the Knights of the Glow Valley will suffer heavy losses. We owe it."

"Yes, we owe it." Baron Roman also smiled freely, "So you have to remember one thing."

"Father, please speak."

"Dragons are our partners, but they also have their own pride. We can guide them and tame them. Never blame them or resent them, because without them, there would be nothing in the warm land." Baron Roman said softly.
