Chapter 54 Raising Piglets

After all, Russell didn't ask Malena to dance again. He was a very gentle person. Since he didn't like it, there was no need to give him hope.

He had to let Malena know early that he was the man she couldn't have.

It’s time to settle for the next best thing and find someone else.

"I saw Malena leaving the castle sadly, and Lord Marcus threatened to find an opportunity to beat you up." After the ball, Rowling found Russell walking in the castle, teasing her as always.

"Why do you want to beat me?" Russell frowned.

"Because you broke his precious daughter's heart, my stupid brother, who told you to have a skin that is naturally attracted to women."

"Well, if being handsome is a sin, I am indeed guilty of it."

When Luo Lin heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "When did this guy become so thick-skinned? It seems that many stories have happened in the castle during the six months since I left!"

"Maybe it was because I defeated my sister that it gave me a boost of confidence."

"You... duel!"

"Haha, just kidding."

"Don't think that if you beat me once by luck, you really beat me. This time I was careless. I will be serious about the next duel." Rowling stared at Russell fiercely. The duel in the morning was a major event in her life. frustration.

Russell shrugged his shoulders and did not answer. He did not want to duel with Rowling.

It's not that I'm afraid of losing, but it's meaningless. If I win, there's nothing to brag about. After all, Rowling is just a womanizer. If she loses, she will definitely be laughed at by Rowling for a whole year.

It would be better to go back to the manor and fight with his knight retinue.

The knight's followers are not comparable to the showy Rowling in terms of fighting spirit or martial arts strength - after all, they are all armored knights who have actually fought snow ghosts on the snowfield battlefield, and have experienced life and death.

Fortunately, Rowling didn't insist on stalking him, and now she was dragging Russell into a duel - maybe she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to make a comeback.

She glanced at Russell and said, "I didn't make it back for your coming-of-age ceremony, and I didn't give you any gifts during the Ice Age."

"it does not matter."

"That won't work, who made me your sister?" Rowling called her personal maid and asked her to go back to the room to get a gift, "to make up for your gift."

"Thank you." Russell took it and opened it.

Inside was a jade box. The next moment, Russell realized something and raised his head to look at Rowling in surprise.

Rowling raised her lips proudly: "Open it and take a look."

In fact, Russell could guess that there was an elf worm inside without opening it, because this jade box was a custom-made jade box for storing elf worms.

Open the lid.

Sure enough, there was a plump fairy bug sleeping peacefully inside. To be precise, it was a fluorescent mushroom bug with a shiny green body.

"There was a fluorescent mushroom bug in the dowry given to me by my parents. I deliberately did not contract it but kept it sealed. It is just the right time to use it as your coming-of-age gift." Rowling leaned against the wall, standing in an awkward position. Lady.

But at this moment, Russell felt a strong sense of care.

Taking a deep breath, Russell closed the jade box: "Sister, this gift is too precious. Mushroom worms are strategic resources. You need it more than me."

"You give me pearls, but I don't think they are valuable so I can't accept them. I give you mushroom worms, so why are you refusing?"

"Pearls are indeed not as valuable as mushroom worms."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'll just keep it if I give it to you. Or are you afraid that your sister's dowry will be short and your brother-in-law dares to despise me?" Luo Lin clenched her fists. "I gave him two courages, but he didn't. If you dare, stop inking, kid!"

"Okay." Russell was not a pretentious person.

The important thing is that the gift is expensive. Are you afraid that you won't be able to repay this friendship in the future? "Okay, you go and do your work. My sister has to go back to bed. Only by going to bed early and getting up early can you take good care of your skin... You guy, you can be so good without taking care of your skin. It makes no sense!" Rowling dismissed Russell impatiently. .

Seeing Russell's handsome face and smooth skin, she became angry.

……

After Mrs. Ingrid's birthday party ended, everyone dispersed except the Rowlings who stayed in the Fluorescent Castle for a few days.

Russell, too, didn't stay long.

The next morning, I brought my sister's coming-of-age gift, a fluorescent mushroom worm. As well as the 100 gold coins that his grandmother sponsored for the "Reading Glasses Improvement Research Project", he returned to his own territory, the Black-waisted Snake Manor.

"Miss Rowling is so generous, sir!" Charles kept praising him along the way. The value of a mushroom worm is inestimable.

After all, this is a strategic level resource.

Whether it is magic potions or magic materials, they are precious resources that only nobles can master. They are related to the cultivation of fighting spirit and the stability of rule.

"Yes." Russell was in a daze.

In the memory of his predecessor, the eldest brother Roland was more selfish and hypocritical, which Russell felt. But his predecessor also felt that Rowling was arrogant and unreasonable, and treated him badly. Russell only felt half of it. She was indeed arrogant and unreasonable, but she was kind to herself.

Thinking of the mushroom worms in the jade box in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Sister Luo Lin... it smells so good."

When they returned to the Black-rumped Snake Manor, James, the knight's retinue who stayed behind to take care of the golden black sow, came forward to report: "Sir, this golden black sow has given birth to piglets, but, unfortunately, there is no phantom beast. Baby."

The news is disappointing, but not unexpected.

"Oh, the Grand Duke's dragon, why don't you take another look at it!" Charles sighed.

Eric was speechless, but he glanced at Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound who was following him, and felt even more lucky.

Secretly praise Russell in my heart.

If it weren't for Russell's gift, how could he realize the dream of the Phantom Beast Knight? He had been working in the Fluorescent Castle for several years and had never had a single opportunity.

"Which piglet is the magic miscarriage?" Russell asked.

"This is the fattest one, my lord."

"Bring it over here."

James immediately brought a plump black piglet over. The golden black sow that was feeding raised her head and lay down peacefully. With a tilt of her head, she could eat the fragrant pig food. Care about Piggy being taken away.

Russell stretched out his hand and carefully felt the aura on the little piggy's body. There was still a trace of Yuanli aura left, but it was dissipating.

He said to Eric: "You feel it, this is a complete failure, you can't become a fantasy beast baby, right?"

Eric touched it twice, then shook his head: "The energy has dissipated and is irreversible."

Several knight attendants sighed together.

If a baby phantom beast is really born, in the future, it is very likely that the next phantom beast knight will be promoted from among the four of them - they don't mind the ugly black pig knight, as long as they can be promoted, they are willing to be called pig shit knight.

Russell nodded, indicating that he understood, and then ordered: "James, go and call Old Hans over and ask him to arrange for a family of serfs to raise pigs, especially this little piglet, which must be raised alone and given the best pig food." !”

"Sir, what do you mean?" Charles quickly understood what Russell meant.

"good."

"Wow, this is really possible. If a new species of Yuan Beast can be cultivated, the territory will have another specialty product!"
