Chapter 14 Will-o'-the-Wisp Family
After having a full lunch, everyone came to the living room to eat and chat.

Russell just briefly talked about his feelings about going to live in the fiefdom. He only lived in the fiefdom for one day and really didn't have many new feelings.

Most of the time, Mrs. Ingrid and Meryl were still chatting.

Russell always felt that there was an explosive atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but both of them were more restrained and did not confront each other head-on.

Baron Roman seemed to know nothing about this.

However, Russell felt that the Baron might know, but was just pretending not to know. After all, before this kind of eternal problem causes a destructive situation, there is no need to be demanding or embarrass yourself. In life, happiness is the main thing.

"Don't fall behind in your fighting qi lessons. Your natural talent is average. If you don't practice hard, your achievements will be limited."

"I understand, Father."

"I asked Carter to prepare a batch of magic potions for you. You can take one back and take one every day. Don't refuse. This is what Grandma You meant," the Baron said.

Mrs. Ingrid turned around and said, "Yes, the family is not short of money, so of course the magic potion must be reserved for the little ghost fire."

"Of course, I won't refuse." Russell smiled.

He did not covet the Baron's wealth, after all, he was the second son, but since the Baron was willing to give it, he was embarrassed to refuse.

"The little will-o'-the-wisp has become sensible." Mrs. Ingrid smiled, "I used to be a bit naughty, but now I'm very loving."

Meryl smiled and said, "Mom, Russell has grown up and is no longer the little will-o'-the-wisp you talked about."

"Why are they not little will-o'-the-wisps? In my heart, Russell and his brothers are all little will-o'-the-wisps."

"After all, little will-o'-the-wisp is a nickname given by outsiders."

"We are the will-o'-the-wisp family. It doesn't matter if others joke about it twice. We won't lose a single coin. If anyone is not convinced, let Mr. Ross release a handful of dragon's breath and keep them until they are burned cleanly, leaving only ashes." Ying Old Lady Grid joked.

Meryl narrowed her eyes and said, "Other people may not have dragons in their homes."

There are two earls and five barons in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. Each family has a wyvern, and there is even more than one wyvern.

This magical creature is the standard equipment of the great nobles.

Without the wyvern, it would not be enough to protect the safety of the territory.

"We are not afraid of dragons. Anyone who scolds us, the Will-O-Wisp family, will be scolded back. Whoever's family doesn't have a nickname yet? Your Yujiuhua family also has the nickname of Little Bird." Mrs. Ingrid was unwilling to give in. He said weakly.

Yujiuka is a blue flower that looks like a bird, so the Yujiuka family is also called the bluebird family, and is sometimes jokingly called the bird.

same.

Fluorescent mushrooms are mushrooms that emit green fluorescence at night. They like to grow on tree trunks and look like a floating will-o'-the-wisp from a distance.

Therefore, the fluorescent mushroom family is also called the will-o'-the-wisp family, and the descendants of the family naturally have the nickname "little will-o'-wisp".

Of course, there are also more unpleasant nicknames like green ghost and green ant.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law teased each other with arguments and were hostile to each other in their jokes, but this did not affect Baron Roman and Russell at all.

"Oh, by the way." Russell said, "Not to mention the magic potion, I almost forgot. I brought a small gift to my grandmother, mother and Laura."

Called the valet Ram and brought over a small bag.

Russell took out three pearls from the bag. They were all just taken out of the big river clam this morning. The white pearls shimmered with a warm luster. If you feel them carefully, you can feel that a faint magic power is flowing in them.

The pearl as big as an egg was given to my grandmother, the next larger pearl was given to my mother, and the third larger pearl was given to Laura.

"Wow, brother, what is this?" Laura saw Pearl for the first time.

"Pearls, gems found in shells."

"What a rare thing. Grandma received a gift from you before she gave it to you." Mrs. Ingrid couldn't resist the beautiful pearl and couldn't put it down. "Little ghost fire, where did you find it?"

Baron Roman was also curious: "Pearls are really hard to see."

"I picked it up from the river this morning." Russell gave a general explanation. He wanted to eat river fresh food and ended up catching pearls. "I didn't expect that a river mussel was unexpectedly big and gave birth to five pearls of different sizes. "

There are two small ones left in the bag. "Brother, you are so lucky!" Laura said enviously.

Mrs. Ingrid smiled and said: "Our Will-O-Wisp family has always been lucky. Back then, Little Will-O-Wisp's great-grandfather was able to pick up Mr. Rose. Now it is Little Will-O-Wisp's turn to pick up the pearl. This shows that the dragon of the Grand Duke's family has been watching us. , give us blessings.”

Baron Roman was speechless: "Look what you said."

There is no comparison between a bipedal flying dragon and a few pearls.

After giving away pearl gifts and receiving a batch of magic potions, Russell felt that time was almost up and was about to stand up and leave.

Meryl asked first: "Russell, do you want to stay in the castle tonight?"

"Well, I can't touch my mother."

"Ah, okay."

After only one night apart, Meryl missed her son.

Baron Roman rubbed his wife's shoulders and said comfortingly: "It's not far away, right under your nose, what are you worried about...Russell, go back, manage the fief well, and don't miss out on your fighting spirit practice."

"Okay, Father."

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Mrs. Ingrid muttered. "The little will-o'-wisps have all grown up."

"Grandma, I will come to see you often." Russell said with a smile.

Laura also came over and said, "Russell, when will you take me to the Black-rumped Snake Manor?"

"Next time, I will come and pick you up when I have time...Grandma, father and mother, there is no need to send me off, I'm leaving."

With a wave of his hand, Russell left the Fluorescent Castle gracefully.

When he walked out of the stone arch outside the castle, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The Fluorescent Castle always kept him tied up.

Fortunately, Sir Ross was wandering off somewhere and was not in the castle today, so he would not cast a sinister glance at him, otherwise he would be even more restrained.

The sun faces west and the horses face south.

After two hours of driving along Cinder Avenue, Russell once again returned to his loyal fiefdom, Black-rumped Snake Manor.

"Master, welcome home." Butler Morris greeted his return at the gate with his male and female servants.

Although there are few servants, there should be no shortage of rules.

"Where are Mr. Charles and Mr. Eric?"

"Your Excellencies have gone to inspect the manor."

"Well, Maurice, I won't go back to the other courtyard." Russell turned his horse's head and took the four knights' retinue on the road again. Along the inner path of the manor, he began to inspect his territory for the first time.

Not far from the manor courtyard is Doumai Tun.

Half of the serfs in Doumai Village grow lentils and half of the serfs grow wheat. There is also a small market in the center of Doumai Tun. Most of the serfs in the entire Black-loisted Snake Manor live near the small market of the manor, right next to each other.

There are no criss-crossing streets, only a charcoal trail running northwest-southeast, and the serfs' houses are located along both sides of the trail.

Most of them are mainly wooden houses, dotted with a small number of two-story stone buildings.

A group of five cavalry arrived and quickly alerted the serfs in the small market. Then the serf steward who had visited Russell yesterday took the lead and knelt down on the ground.

"Welcome, sir!"

"The master is here to inspect the manor!"

"Praise the master!"

With a crash, the serfs knelt on the ground. The scene was chaotic, but they seemed to have a clear mind and made way for the charcoal trail so as not to prevent Russell and his party from riding through.
