warm dragon

Chapter 91 Reward
"A warm welcome to your triumphant victory!"

On the small bridge over the Youguang River in front of the manor, Charles led several officials to greet Russell and his party who had returned from the battlefield.

No serfs were brought to join in the fun. This was also the rule Russell set before setting off.

I don’t want to disrupt the normal work and life of the serfs because of this ritual. After all, in the warm season for the next six months, there will be many tasks to clean up the trade roads. It would be a waste of manpower and material resources to hold a grand welcome ceremony every time.

"Greetings to you, my lord." Charles took off his hat, which was different from the chest-beating salute of knights. This was a courtesy between gentlemen.

"Is everything okay at the manor?"

"Everything is fine." Charles smiled.

Old Hans came over and said, "Old Hans says hello to the master. The dragon is watching and shining, and the master is returning with full glory."

"It's not a full load, so I went to get some soy sauce." Russell smiled, not embarrassed to flatter himself.

After all, he was well protected throughout the whole journey and only faced a few lone snow ghosts each time. During the one-on-one duel, it was only under Eric's protection that he dared to fight the snow ghost one-on-one without taking any risks.

However, the income is not bad.

There are nearly fifty ice beads, and two large green-skinned high-quality ice beads, which are worth seventy or eighty gold coins in total.

Counting the loss of weapons, food, and magic potions, fifty gold coins were recorded.

Later, I also need to moisten some ice beads and give them to Eric and the four knights.

But the bigger profit came from riding around at night on a small dream dragon and devouring a lot of snow ghosts. I made a lot of extra money. Although I couldn't bring back the ice beads I ate, I still couldn't bring them back. Originally, Russell planned to feed the little dream dragon with ice slug beads.

just now.

The ice beads in your hand can be saved and exchanged for gold coins to build the manor.

"It feels so good to be back in the manor." Russell said with emotion as he led the officials into his manor.

Although Fluorescent Castle was luxurious and comfortable, and the food was abundant, it was not his home after all.

He has been enfeoffed, and Black-waisted Snake Manor is his home.

After the luncheon, the crowd dispersed, and Russell could relax in the manor's courtyard and enjoy a rare and comfortable time.

The sunlight streamed in from outside the window, making his whole body feel warm.

Compared with the cold and cruel environment in the snowfield, it was a world of difference, which made him sigh secretly: "Without contrast, there would be no such deep feelings. Only after experiencing the coldness of the snowfield can I understand why the Youguang River Valley is a warm place."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and faced the north and praised: "Thank you Shadow Flame Dragon, thank you for the warmth you bring."

The volcano where the Shadow Flame Dragon is located is located in the north of the Youguang River Valley.

Russell stayed at home all afternoon without going out.

He neither patrolled the territory nor practiced knight lessons - he gave Eric and four knights a leave of absence.

Dinner was an unexpected surprise.

"The steamed buns are fluffy and soft. Mrs. Brown has made great progress! And the dried fish is also very well pickled. Not bad. Mrs. Moore deserves encouragement!" Russell ate the big white steamed bun in his hand and the dried fish in the jar. , full of praise.

Mrs. Brown's improved white flour steamed buns are already close to the large white steamed buns Russell loves to eat on Earth.

In the future, you can try pasta such as steamed buns, dumplings, and noodles.

Mrs. Moore also followed Russell's instructions and marinated a can of dried fish. The dried fish with spicy sauce is very delicious.

"Steward Morris, ask Mrs. Moore to continue pickling the dried fish... I think Mrs. Moore can open a store in the town to sell dried fish sauce. It will definitely be welcomed by the majority of consumers."

"But Mrs. Moore will definitely not be willing to give up her job in the kitchen. Being able to serve you, Master, is beyond the comparison of opening a shop."

"Is that right?"

"Of course, it is the honor of everyone in the Netherworld Valley to serve the bloodline heirs of the Fluorescent Mushroom family." Butler Morris's face was full of sincerity. For a servant like him who has served the nobles all his life, the glory of the nobles has long been deeply rooted in his heart. marrow. Even more than the noble gentlemen, he upholds the dignity of the nobles.

"Well, anyway, let's reward the kitchen... let's do this, Mrs. Brown will be rewarded with two coppers, Mrs. Moore will be rewarded with four coppers, and all the remaining servants, including yourself, the housekeeper Morris, will be rewarded with one copper."

Russell said generously.

The reward of one or two copper coins may not seem like much, but Russell would often look for opportunities to reward his servants.

Over time, it becomes a considerable income.

Anyway, this small amount of money is a drop in the bucket to Russell. He can use this small amount of money to mobilize the enthusiasm of the servants and let himself enjoy better. In Russell's view, it is definitely a bloody profit, so why not do it.

"Do you even have one for me, sir?" Butler Morris asked in surprise.

"How could it not be?" Russell smiled, "After all, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Brown both work under your leadership."

Butler Morris bowed and said, "Making you satisfied is the greatest compliment to me."

"There is no conflict between verbal satisfaction and the reward of copper coins." Russell smiled and continued to deal with the food in front of him.

After a meal, my stomach will be round.

Fortunately, after meditating for a while, the food will be digested, and the nutrients will flow into the limbs and bones, and then strands of fighting energy will be generated, which will flow into the meridians and strengthen one's own fighting energy - this is the training of the knight.

After meditating and taking a shower, Russell started to sleep.

After a while.

The dark dream came, and the little dream dragon flew out with a squawk. Russell jumped on the dragon's back in one stride, stretched out his hand and waved forward: "Let's go!"

He rode the little dream dragon and flew towards a big tree at the border of the dark dreamland. This big tree was the mark of the border. With his bed as the center, the original boundary of the dark dream encompassed more than half of the big tree.

However, at this moment, Russell clearly discovered that not only was the big tree completely included, but it even continued to expand outward by about one meter.

"Tsk, tsk, this trip to the snowfield has achieved a lot!" Russell said happily, "The scope of the dark dreamland has expanded outward by two or three meters!"

Of course, compared to the approximately fifty acres of land covered by the Dark Dream, this expanded area is somewhat insignificant.

But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you give the little dream dragon enough time and enough ice beads, sooner or later, you can expand the dark dreamland to the limitless.

"Gah!" Little Menglong tilted his head, and then took the initiative to fly towards Russell's bedroom.

Stopping next to the bedside table, he tilted his head and looked at Russell.

The smile on Russell's face was awkward. The drawer of the bedside table contained the ice beads he harvested during this trip. After dividing a batch among Eric and other subordinates, he only kept two high-quality ice beads and ten. Ordinary ice beads.

"Let's not eat the ice cream. Haven't you had enough on the snowy field?"

"Gah!"

"Then, how about just eating one?" Russell was a little reluctant to give up. The territory and manor had to be developed in every possible way, and it was impossible without money.

When Xiao Menglong heard this, he immediately pursed his lips and said, "Quack!"

"Two, two, no more!" Russell bargained, and after a stalemate between one person and one dragon, he finally spent three ordinary ice slug beads to stop Little Menglong's greedy mouth.

"call!"

"We can't stay in the other side of the manor, otherwise sooner or later I will lose all my money..." Russell lamented and told Jiandie, "Lead the way, let's go outside the dark dreamland and see if there is anything new." Discover."

The sword butterfly is silent, just dancing gracefully.

One person, one dragon and one butterfly quietly left the boundary of the dark dreamland, groping forward in the dark world clinging to the ground.
