Warm Dragon

Because the ice age receded and the warm season arrived, the Youguang River began to rise.

It is said that at this season every year, the blind dragon will migrate from the underground river in the cave and run to the tidal flat at the source of the Youguang River to lay eggs.

The blind dragon is not a dragon, but a fish with very weak eyesight and a very ugly appearance.

Probably a special kind of salmon.

"The delicious taste of Blind Dragon is famous throughout the Youguang River Valley, and even the guests outside the valley are full of praise for Blind Dragon." Russell found inspiration from here, "Teacher Charles, how about we go fishing by the river in the evening, let Mrs. Moore use it tomorrow The blind dragon makes soup."

Wild fishing is not his purpose, camping and sleeping in the wild is his purpose.

Charles had not yet recovered from the shock of Eric being promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight during the day. He shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, I'm sorry to spoil your mood, but I just want to lie in bed early tonight. If I can still taste blindness tomorrow, Dragon soup, that’s the best.”

"Okay, I'll take Eric for night fishing." Russell didn't care at all whether Charles went or not.

That night, we set up camp near the Potion Village and by the river next to the Yujiu Flower Field to fish for the Blind Dragon at night.

After fishing for a while, he hid in his sleeping bag and fell asleep.

"Gah!"

With the cry of the little dream dragon, a new scene opened in the dark dreamland. Unfortunately, one person and one dragon searched for a long time, but nothing was found.

Previously, it was a stroke of luck to find birch worms developing in the birch forest.

And if the little dream dragon hadn't consumed dragon flames, the birch worm might not have been born at all. Wild elves are too rare.

"Don't be discouraged, Ice Cream. When we turn around, we will continue to change places for night fishing, and try to search both sides of the Youguang River first!" Russell's energy was not affected. The Black-rumped Snake Manor is very large, almost 20,000 hectares.

He has only explored one thousandth of the area so far.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, exploring every day, it will take three years to fully explore.

"Of course, there is no need to explore places without flowers, plants and trees." Russell made a mental calculation and eliminated some wastelands that were unlikely to breed elf bugs, and only explored promising places. After two or three months in a row, he should be able to fully explore them.

And when the little dream dragon grows up, the dark dreamland will expand even more, and it will be easier to explore then.

All in all, everything is moving in a good direction.

The next day.

Russell carried the empty fish basket and returned to the manor courtyard.

"Master, how was your catch last night?" Butler Morris asked politely.

Russell shook the fish basket: "The Blind Dragon is indeed blind. He didn't catch even one such big bait. But don't worry, wait for me to fight again tonight!"

"Master, if you are so patient, you will definitely gain a lot tonight."

"Haha, let me lend you some good words."

When night fell, Russell once again took the fishing basket and fishing rod and went to a new bank of the Youguang River to start night fishing.

The servants in the manor's courtyard curiously asked the butler Morris: "Mr. Morris, why did you choose to fish for the blind dragon at night? Can't you catch the blind dragon during the day?"

Morris didn’t understand either: “Maybe the blind dragon is afraid of light and only comes out to look for food at night.”

"The blind dragon is a blind fish. Why are blind people afraid of light?"

"This..." Morris didn't want to answer, he straightened his face and said seriously: "Okay, don't ask so many questions, go to work quickly, a qualified servant will never discuss anything about the master behind his back. You all need to keep this in mind.”

riverside.

Russell still fished seriously for a while, after all, he went to bed too early and couldn't sleep at all.

Unfortunately, I only caught a few ordinary miscellaneous fish, but the blind dragon still didn't take the bait. Fortunately, there was no air force, so it was a satisfying fishing.

Eric was about to pack up his fishing gear and get into his sleeping bag to sleep. He was walking around to keep watch, and was running into the wolf dog Kevin by the way. Eric came over with two familiar people.

"Sir." Eric stood aside.

By the light of the bonfire, Russell could see clearly who was coming. It was the wildcat sisters Katie and Catherine. They were both wearing black clothes and blended in well with the surrounding environment.

After the two of them greeted Russell, they stared directly at the wolf dog Kevin.

Kevin also looked at the wildcat sisters gently, but did not go to the two sisters, because it had already made a contract with Eric and had a spiritual connection. It would first follow Eric's ideas, although it might be closer to its two former owners. .

"Lord Russell, is this really Kevin?"

"You can call me." Russell said calmly.

"Kevin, Kevin, come here!" Catherine immediately squatted down and called the wolf dog Kevin.

Kevin glanced at Eric, and after getting Eric's acquiescence in his heart, he threw himself at Catherine with joy, passionately licked Catherine's face that looked like she was forty years old, and then rubbed Katie's legs intimately, infinitely joy.

"It's really Kevin!" Katie couldn't hide her surprise, "Mr. Russell, you really saved Kevin, and Kevin also evolved into a phantom beast!"

Russell said: "That's true, but the process was a bit tortuous, and I had no choice but to let Kevin contract with Eric. You were not there at the time, and I didn't know where to notify you, so I made the decision to let Eric contract."

He briefly explained the process.

Katie said excitedly: "Of course, of course, as long as we can save Kevin! Now Kevin has evolved into a fantasy beast and made a contract with Mr. Eric, which is even better."

Catherine also said: "I was still worried... Mr. Russell, thank you for rescuing Kevin. I apologize to you again for my previous rudeness."

"There is no need to apologize, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and your information has indeed helped my territory avoid greater losses." Russell smiled, and then went straight to the point, "Kevin has made a contract and obviously cannot go back. , what are your plans?”

The two sisters hugged Kevin and looked at each other.

Then each stood up and walked to Russell, knelt down on one knee, beat his chest with his right hand and imitated a knight's salute: "If Lord Meng will not give up, we sisters are willing to be loyal to you."

Conquering the wild cat sisters is just around the corner.

But Russell said seriously: "Katie, Catherine, I have no prejudice against the free people of the underground cave, but I am unwilling to protect fugitives. If you two have a record of being a fugitive in the Netherworld Valley, I will never accept you." loyalty."

"Please rest assured, sir. We sisters occasionally engage in petty theft, but we are definitely not fugitives in the Netherworld Valley."

"Very good. One more thing. To join my territory and become my follower, you must abide by the rules I have set." Russell said ugly words in front of him, not afraid of scaring away the wildcat sisters. Loyalty is not absolute, which means absolute loyalty. Disloyal.

He can accept cats and dogs as serfs, but he will never accept cats and dogs as followers.

After a pause, Russell pulled out the fine steel sword he was wearing.

He solemnly said: "You will lose absolute freedom when you enter my territory, but if you follow me, you will be protected by my wings. I ask you again, Katie and Catherine, are you willing to be loyal to me and become my eyes and ears to spy on the night? ?”

The wildcat sisters looked at each other again.

Encouraging each other, putting aside the last trace of hesitation, they said in a deep voice: "Katie (Catherine) is willing to be loyal to your Lord and become your eyes and ears to spy on the dark night!"

Russell showed a satisfied smile, put the tip of his sword on the shoulders of the two sisters, and tapped each: "I accept your loyalty, get up."
