warm dragon

Chapter 2 Fluorescent Castle

Mr. Ross is a dragon, but not a real dragon, but a bipedal flying dragon with the attribute of clay dragon.

Not that it is a dragon made of clay, but that it can produce clay.

It is not produced by pulling.

It is its habitat. The dragon's breath and blood seep into the earth, and over time, metal mineral deposits such as clay ore will be born.

"Clay...metal?"

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

Rose, the clay dragon, has been guarding the Fluorescent Mushroom family for more than sixty years since he was contracted by the first Baron of Light.

Near the Youguang River Valley, three clay veins have been nourished one after another.

A large amount of clay is continuously produced, and the family sinters it into various exquisite ceramics, which are sold throughout the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy and even abroad.

Simultaneously.

The clay dragon Rose is also the most powerful fighting force in the territory. Several snow demon invasions relied on the breath of the clay dragon Rose to repel the snow demons.

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

Fortunately, the lifespan of the wyvern is very long, generally living for three to five hundred years, while the clay dragon Rose is not yet seventy years old.

It can also protect the fluorescent mushroom family for several generations, or even more than a dozen generations.

"Your Excellency Contract Ross, I'm afraid it's impossible." On the way back to Fluorescent Castle, Russell had completely given up on this idea.

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

It was not that he was gentle, courteous, and conciliatory. He felt that his eldest brother Roland was the future baron and head of the family, and he should be allowed to contract with the clay dragon Rose.

But because his identity as a time traveler may have been discovered by Rose.

"Dragon's intuition is too keen... If Mr. Ross hadn't been unable to speak, I'm afraid..." Recalling the time when he first traveled through time, Russell felt frightened.

Back then, when he was crossing the road eating Menglong ice cream, he was accidentally run over by a loaded garbage truck like an assassin.

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

His previous qualifications were somewhat useless. He started practicing Dou Qi according to the "Dou Qi Cultivation Manual" at the age of 7, and the seed of Dou Qi was not born until he was 10 years old.

Seeing that the coming-of-age ceremony is about to take place, the seeds of fighting spirit have not yet bloomed, giving birth to real fighting spirit.

So he gritted his teeth and forcefully attacked the fighting spirit seed.

It leads to obsession and death.

However, thanks to the desperate risk of his predecessor, the seed of fighting spirit was able to bloom successfully. Therefore, after Russell's soul was integrated, he no longer had to go through this difficulty and directly possessed the fighting spirit he had dreamed of, becoming a qualified knight.

but.

As soon as he went out, he was stared at by Sir Ross who was entrenched on the tower of Fluorescent Castle. Through a window, the pair of dragon's eyes that were bigger than bull's eyes stared at him for a full quarter of an hour.

Russell had no doubt that without the constraints of the blood contract, Mr. Ross would have given him a dragon's breath on the spot.

Burn him to ashes.

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

In order to prevent others from discovering the clues, Russell immediately decided not to get close to Mr. Ross in the future. It happened that at his coming-of-age ceremony, he was ennobled as a lord by his father, Baron Roman, and had his own fiefdom. From then on, he would develop the fiefdom honestly.

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

A group of three riders separated on a fork in the town.

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

The fork in the road divided into two roads, one leading to the town and the other leading to the castle on the mound. As the lords of the entire Netherlight Valley, the Fluorescent Mushroom family does not live in a noisy, dirty town, but in the Fluorescent Castle, which is independent from the town.

Charles made a gesture of taking off his hat, bent down on his horse, bared his big yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Lord Russell, I look forward to your good news."

Eric couldn't learn this trick, so he just said in a low voice: "Goodbye, my lord."

Wait for Russell to ride away.

Charles invited: "It's still early for the sun to set. Let's have a drink in the pub?"

"No."

"What a boring guy." Seeing Eric turning around to leave, Charles hurriedly followed and said, "Don't you think Russell seems to be a different person recently? He used to be taciturn, but now he doesn't talk much. But it seems...more assertive."

Eric replied: "This is how the heirs of Lord Baron should be."

"I mean he's changed a lot."

"Adult, get promoted, he's already a man."

"Well, indeed..." Charles nodded, agreeing with what Eric said, "Only when a knight has fighting spirit can he be confident."

At the end, he sighed: "A true knight should be brave enough to 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 Nether Light Valley, all the new phantom beasts belong to the Baron family. Unless they have achieved great military exploits, they have no chance to make a contract.

"I hope...by following Russell, I can achieve my goal of riding a fantasy beast..."

at the same time.

Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, who was pinned with hope, has arrived at the gate of Fluorescent Castle.

This is a traditional stone castle. The walls are built one by one with huge stones, mixed with various magic materials for filling. Even if Dou Qi cuts on it, it will be difficult to carve out obvious marks, making it indestructible.

The flag of the Fluorescent Mushroom family hangs on the top of the towering tower. A cluster of green mushroom patterns is embroidered in the flag, vaguely forming the shape of a skull.

That is the fluorescent mushroom, also known as the fluorescent mushroom, the family's most important source of magic medicine.

The flag flutters in the wind.

The green skull swayed from side to side.

"Huh." Russell exhaled a breath and drove his horse into the door.

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

Stone arches, corridor bridges, and at the end is the Fluorescent Castle made of huge stones.

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

The gray towers and city walls are dark and thick, 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 ice-covered land have never broken through to the hinterland of the Netherlight River Valley; the frequent marriages between nobles within the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy also ensured that there was little cannibalism. The occasional mottled marks were dug out by Sir Ross's claws.

"Chirp, chirp..."

Russell looked up and saw a black shadow passing over his head, making a sharp scream that was not commensurate with his size.

It's Rose, the clay dragon, who's back.

"Hmph, hum." Although the black horse under the seat was a superb horse, it felt the majesty of the dragon and began to tremble, and its nostrils kept spraying out.

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

Whoops!

The passing black shadow fell on the tower on the other side of the castle. The huge bat wings were folded, and the claws under the wing membrane were like hooks, hooked on the edge of the tower. While maintaining the balance of the body, a pair of thick back Legs gathered around the edge of the tower.

Like a gargoyle, he squatted on the top of the tower, looking around at the Fluorescent Castle at his feet and the entire Nether Light Valley in the distance.

The entire body is covered with fine dark red scales, which are superimposed on each other and look almost black.

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

He glanced at Russell who was riding home, bared his teeth slightly, and blew out two light dark red dragon's breaths from his nostrils. Without stopping for too long, he looked in another direction.

Russell comforted the dark horse sitting down.

Instead of looking at the clay dragon Rose, he looked down at the palm of his left hand. There, it seemed that he was stimulated by the clay dragon, and his palms became slightly hot, and then a faint red mark was outlined. The mark was in the shape of an "M".

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

make a fist.

The mark seemed to have been wiped out, and little sparks flew out from the cracks in the fist, mixing into the air and disappearing.

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