Warm Dragon

At Fluorescent Castle, the family enjoyed a warm dinner happily.

After dinner, Russell sat on the sofa, drinking soup and tea brought by the servant, and thinking about his words.

The eldest brother Roland told the story of what happened on the snowy field with excitement, making his sister Laura laugh from ear to ear.

Russell had to admit that Roland had a talent for telling stories, and could tell some boring little things in the snowfield into colorful and exciting stories. If he had been the one telling the story, the ending would have been a dry one in just three sentences.

"Do you know the Quail-like dragon? It's a beautiful pseudo-dragon descendant... Russell is a glutton and insists on catching a Quail-like dragon for barbecue..."

"I don't."

"You have it, you can have it in the story." Roland waved his hand to Russell without looking back, signaling Russell not to interrupt him, "I hugged Russell at that time, and I said, 'Boy, you want to Have you ruined the sea of ​​flowers all year round?"

"Ah, why is this?" Laura was puzzled.

Roland then said: "This started back a long time ago, when my great-grandfather was still alive..."

From modern times to ancient times, Roland’s story is far from over.

Not only did Laura listen carefully, but Mrs. Meryl also looked at Roland and Russell with a smile in her eyes, and listened carefully to Roland's story.

This made Russell, who had thought about his words, unable to find a chance to speak for a while.

After all, he had never done anything like borrowing money, no, investing, before, and he was more or less timid about speaking out.

As for Baron Roman, he was holding a red wine glass and reading a knight novel in boredom.

But in fact, Russell had observed that half an hour had passed, and only the first two pages of this knight's novel had been opened.

In other words, Baron Roman has not even finished reading this short preface.

Perhaps reading is just a cover, and tasting glass after glass of red wine is Baron Roman's real intention.

At this time, old housekeeper Carter came over, holding a newspaper in his hand: "Master, what a coincidence, this issue of the newspaper has just been delivered."

"It's quite a coincidence." Baron Roman threw away the knight novel and took the flat-ironed newspaper to read.

At this time, Butler Carter walked up to Russell again and handed a letter: "Master Russell, your letter was sent from Blue Bird Castle. It was originally going to be transferred to Black-rumped Snake Manor, but you happened to be here, so I will give it to you. "Bring it over."

"Thank you, Mr. Carter." Russell glanced at the envelope. There was no signature on it, only the seal of the Yujiuka family.

But he had already guessed who had written to him.

Just as he was about to open the letter and read it, Baron Roman suddenly said: "The old count has retreated!"

"What?" Mrs. Meryl turned around.

"The newspaper said that your father has announced the dissolution of the Senate and returned all power to Grand Duke Kunstein. Princess Anxia held a banquet in the Red Castle and entertained the old count grandly. She thanked the old count for his hard work in governing for ten years."

The baron read the contents of the newspaper.

Di Bao is the official newspaper published by the Red Keep. It is only copied to all the vassals of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, so that the vassals can learn about the political developments of the Red Keep in a timely manner.

The Di newspaper will be copied once a month.

It will be delivered to Youguang Valley with the caravan, but the journey is far away. When it is delivered, it is estimated that the new issue of the Di newspaper will start.

"Father, have you finally retreated? Well, retreat, retreat!" Mrs. Meryl breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been thinking about her old father.

Then he asked again: "Did the newspaper say that my father left the Red Fort?"

"As I said, Count Merlin Yujiuhua left the palace of Grand Duke Yingyan, who has been in power for ten years, on July 18th, and returned to the territory of Sanchahekou." The baron said, directly handing the newspaper to his wife, and asked her to look.

The eldest brother Roland also stopped telling the story and said excitedly: "Grandpa has retired and the Grand Duke is fully in power. Father, do you want me to go to the Red Castle now?"

One emperor and one courtier.

Now that Grand Duke Kunstein has officially taken power, he naturally has to promote and re-employ a group of new people. This is a good time for Roland to show off his talents.

The Baron thought for a moment and then said: "You can go, but don't be too anxious. Write a letter to the Grand Duke first and then go there in two months. The situation in the Red Fort should have stabilized by then, and you can go and get things done."

"Okay." Roland nodded.

Mrs. Meryl also finished reading the newspaper and asked the Baron: "Dear, I haven't seen my father for several years. I want to go back as soon as possible."

"Of course, this is what we should do. Not only should you go there, but it would be best for our whole family to go there." The Baron said with a smile, "Roland, Russell and Laura, all go to visit their grandpa together to make the old man happy."

Mrs. Meryl immediately smiled softly and said, "Thank you, my dear."

"Are you going to visit grandpa? That's great!" Laura shouted.

Russell also smiled and agreed that he would go to Sanchahekou with his parents to visit his grandfather. At the same time, he silently opened the letter in his hand.

Sure enough, this was from cousin Mel Yujiuka.

"Dear Russell: Grandpa has determined the return date. He will set off in mid-July, visit friends on the way, and return home in mid-August... You can leave as soon as possible. I have prepared a wonderful program for you at Blue Bird Castle... Take care of it Territory affairs, you have to live here for at least a month..."

Cousin Mel wrote a lot.

Finally, at the end of the letter, sign it: “Sincerely, Mel.”

After reading the letter, Russell smiled and said, "It just so happens that my cousin wrote to me and invited me to stay at Bluebird Castle for a month."

Lola was a little angry when she heard this: "Why didn't cousin Mel write to me and invite me to stay for a month?"

"Silly girl, because boys have more things in common." Mrs. Meryl smiled and hugged Lola into her arms, and then said to Russell, "Do you want to stay there for a month? You have to explain the territory first."

"Don't worry, mother, I will." Russell said.

Then he narrowed his eyes and directly said the words of attracting investment: "Well, father and mother, are you interested in investing in the Black Waist Snake Manor? 1,500 acres of fluorescent mushroom magic potion fields, as long as you invest, you will get returns."

He originally planned to find a private time to attract investment from Mrs. Meryl.

But after thinking about it, attracting investment is not borrowing money, there is no need to be shy, so he brought it up openly.

"What do you mean?" Baron Roman became interested.

"My territory lacks funds, and I think it's difficult for me to digest the income from the 1,500-acre magic potion field alone." The magic potion field is used to make magic potions, and magic potions are essential for training knights.

Few knights are gifted and rely on their own strength to complete their training and become great knights.

Most knights have to rely on drugs to advance.

After all, fighting spirit is a kind of magic power. Knights don't have tree roots and can't draw strength from the earth. They can only absorb nutrients through daily eating and drinking. Ordinary food has no magic power at all, so only magic potions can provide sufficient magic power and transform it into fighting spirit.

Russell continued: "Mushroom Bird Rosie is a bit of a waste of talent here. Even if I want to train knights, I can only train a dozen or twenty at most... The income from the magic potion field still needs to be exchanged for gold coins. Instead of doing this, it is better to take out part of the income in advance and return it to the family."

It is both to attract investment and to give back to the family.

Russell is a person who wants both fame and fortune.

Before the Baron and his wife said anything, Roland said excitedly: "Father, Mother, we can discuss this investment!"

(Haha, the map of the Glowing Valley made by Old White himself, just take a look, it's quite crude~)
