Chapter 46 Uncle Dave
Russell galloped ahead, followed closely by Eric, also riding a war horse. Although he had contracted a phantom beast, the golden and silver wolfhound Kevin was not a mount.

Phantom beasts can be mounts, but are not limited to mounts.

Kevin's body is a bit small. Although he has no problem carrying the weight of an adult, it is difficult for him to cooperate with the knight in battle.

The true fighting method of fantasy beasts is "transformation".

Of course, at this stage, Eric and Kevin have not yet practiced to the point of transformation, so they can only fight independently and work together as a team.

Behind them were knights such as Charles and Tom, as well as valet Ram.

After running all the way, two hours later, we arrived at Fluorescent Castle.

"Master Russell, welcome home." Carter, the old butler, was waiting outside the gate with a smile. Every time Russell came back, he would come and wait outside the gate in person.

"Is grandma here, Mr. Carter?" Russell asked, taking off his cloak and coat and handing them to Ram.

As for Charles, Eric and others, they have their own people to entertain them.

"The old lady plans to come over tomorrow. She hopes to soak in the hot springs for a while in the morning and recharge herself before facing the big scene of the birthday party."

"It is indeed a big event. Who are confirmed to come this year?"

"Two pieces of good news. Lord Cooper and Miss Rowling will attend the birthday party, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning. The other one is Master Roland. He has finished his service in the Dragon Blood Knights and is on the road with Lord Cooper. Let’s meet up and come together.”

"Well, the eldest brother and sister's family will come." Russell smiled, "Grandma will be very happy."

"It's rare for members of the Fluorescent Mushroom family to reunite, and we servants are equally happy." Old Butler Carter said happily. He has never been married in his life, and has long regarded Russell, Roland and others as his own children.

Russell smiled and said: "You are not a servant, you are our family."

Old Butler Carter was deeply moved: "Master Russell..."

Without giving old housekeeper Carter any more chance to stir up emotions, Russell turned around and entered the living room, where he saw a group of people in aristocratic costumes chatting happily around Baron Roman.

"Russell, you're here at the right time." Baron Roman waved and motioned for Russell to come over, "Introduce a few lords to you. This is Lord Ort Shuiliu from the Gravel Territory...this is from the Golden Fields. Lord Dave of Goldenrod…”

The two earls and five barons of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame are married to each other, and they are closely related. They are basically related to each other.

Therefore, when Mrs. Ingrid celebrates her birthday, every family will send a collateral lord to congratulate her.

In the days to come, when Russell grows up, he will also take on this responsibility and represent the Youguang River Valley in other territories.

of course.

Russell is still too immature now, so this job is undertaken by his uncle Rosen Fluorescent Mushroom, who travels around for the family.

"Russell, do you remember your Uncle Dave?" A rough middle-aged man walked up quickly without waiting for Baron Roman's introduction and gave Russell a fierce bear hug. "My body is getting stronger. I just said that your cultivation will not fall behind, haha!"

"Uncle Dave, when did you arrive?" Russell asked with a smile.

Inheriting the memory of his predecessor, Russell naturally knew this middle-aged man, Dave Goldenrod.

He is the vassal of the Golden Baron Davis Golden Capsule, and is also the cousin of Davis. He often travels between the two territories.

"I arrived yesterday, and your aunt urged me hard." Dave laughed, "The ice age retreated late this year, and your aunt was a little sick. Otherwise, your uncle would have accompanied your aunt here to visit Mrs. Ingrid. .”

Russell hurriedly asked: "Is aunt okay?"

Not only did he have a biological uncle, he actually had a biological aunt, who was married to the Golden Baron Davis Goldcrest.

Currently they have a daughter named Diana. "It's about the same as in previous years. It doesn't matter. It's just that the cold wind can't blow." Dave replied.

"That is not bad."

After saying hello to Dave Goldenrod, Russell said hello to the other four lords one by one, and then sat down to chat together.

"The Grand Duke has just ascended the throne. The current intention of the Red Castle is to focus on stability. When the wings are strong, especially when the Shadow Flame Dragon recovers from its injuries, it can then go on foreign expeditions and continue to open up new territories." Ort Shuiliu said, "But The Grand Duke seems impatient."

"What's Earl Gravel's attitude?" Baron Roman asked.

"My family clearly supports stability. The Shadow Flame Dragon fights every year. It's time to rest for a few more years and recharge our batteries."

Baron Roman asked instead: "Dave, what do you think of Baron Davis? I remember he is also a pioneer, right?"

Dave spread his hands: "I don't know, the baron rarely talks about these topics in the fief."

Russell curiously interjected: "The Grand Duke is the same age as me and has not yet been married. Can the Shadow Flame family allow him to go to the battlefield?"

The previous Grand Duke died in the snowy field, leaving only the current Grand Duke, the only seedling of his own blood.

If there is another accident, the crown of the Shadow Flame family will have to fall into the hands of the branch family. At that time, there will probably be some big disturbances in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy. Especially the Shadow Flame Dragon, which has already been seriously injured once. If there is another mistake, the entire country will suffer.

The baron and others were silent.

Only Dave Goldenrod spread his hands again: "Who knows."

Baron Roman quickly ignored this topic. After all, everyone here was just an ordinary lord and could not express any opinions on national affairs.

He patted Russell on the shoulder: "Go and see your mother first and ask her what help she needs for tomorrow's banquet."

"Okay." Russell stood up and left.

In fact, he didn't like this kind of communication between nobles.

It would be fine if he was just allowed to sit in and listen. He likes to hear all kinds of rumors from the outside world, but it would be a bit tiring if he was required to chat with them, either agree with them or praise them.

Mother Meryl is in the banquet hall on the second floor, taking Laura to prepare for tomorrow's banquet. Servants, retinues, and hired workers came in and out, reporting every detail to the Baroness, who ultimately made overall arrangements for the work.

The banquet is a big project, involving the most important etiquette and pomp of the nobles, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Laura, who is only eleven years old, must start learning from now on - in the future she will also marry into a certain barony, or even an earldom, and then be the master of the family and arrange such a banquet.

"Mother, Laura." Russell greeted.

"Russell, you're here." Meryl looked up and smiled, and then said, "I'm too busy here. You go to the hall to chat with your father and others for a while, and then wait to greet your sister, brother-in-law, and your eldest brother. .”

"Okay." Russell responded with a smile.

After going downstairs, he returned to the hall and continued to listen to several lords chatting about stories on the snowfield. However, there are not many good stories, and most of them are lengthy battle scenes. Maybe the Baron and others will find it very immersive, but Russell sounds boring.

He has not experienced the brutal fighting in the snowfield.

Only at the edge of the territory, under the pressure of the fantasy beast knights, and in cooperation with the knight squad, twelve snow ghosts were strangled.

So soon, he began to recall his eldest brother Roland and his sister Luo Lin.
