Chapter 94 Seacroft’s Revenge
By the afternoon, not only did the weather not clear up, but it began to drizzle, moistening the already lush earth.

There was no attic or rain pavilion in the manor courtyard, which made Russell quite disappointed.

Maybe when the baron built this villa, he never thought that one day he would be here to bask in the sun or watch the rain. This manor villa is just a temporary place for the baron to stay when he comes to hunt and has no time to return to the castle.

"When I have enough money, I must repair and repair this manor's courtyard... Well, add another floor!"

Russell stood in front of the window, looking at the gray mist and rain, silently calculating.

In fact, he still has some gold coins in his hand. Counting the research funds he "cheated" from his grandmother, his mother's private support, and the gifts from the baron when he was enfeoffed, the total number is one hundred, sixty-seven. gold.

However, there was a lot of money spent during this period. Building toilets, building mills, and a lot of subsequent actions all cost money.

It is also necessary to pay salaries to officials and provide training resources to followers.

If you don't save some money, this little money may not last long - at least until next year's season when the magic potions are ripe for harvesting.

"master."

Butler Morris came in with freshly brewed barley tea, placed it gently on the table, then turned to leave.

Russell moved a chair and sat at the table, continuing to enjoy the drizzle outside through the window, holding up the barley tea and shaking it gently.

The rich aroma of wheat rises along with the heat.

After one sniff, you will be filled with the smell of wheat, which is very refreshing.

"It's a pity that there is no tea here, so we can only make some barley tea to satisfy our craving." Russell felt comfortable but also a little regretful.

There is no tea in the Youguang River Valley or even the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, so there are no green tea, black tea, oolong tea and other drinks. The tea used to entertain guests here is more appropriately called "soup".

A soup that has fewer ingredients and is lighter, such as boiling only some flower petals, fruits, and vegetable leaves, is called soup tea.

The ingredients are more complex and thicker, such as minced meat, milk, honey, sugar, cinnamon powder, chocolate sauce, and even brandy. After simmering in a pot, it becomes a classic milk tea.

Nobles prefer soup tea, while milk tea is suitable for all ages.

In addition, the most popular drinks are various wines and coffee.

As for the barley tea that Russell is drinking now, it is a drink that serfs and civilians like to drink. The barley is fried until it is browned, and only needs to be brewed with hot water to extract a rich and fragrant tea. It is really a powerful tool for relieving heat and fatigue.

Russell doesn't like soup tea, milk tea, or coffee. Instead, the taste of barley tea is more in line with his taste.

"We still have to search the Youguang River Valley carefully, especially Bendian Mountain and Jiandao Mountain, to see if there are any wild tea leaves." Russell sipped the barley tea and thought to himself, "This barley tea will make you tired after drinking too much."

Drinking tea.

Russell casually opened a book on the table. The title is "Song of the Volcano" and the author is unknown.

"Well, I read it before going to the snowfield to fight. I didn't finish it." Russell remembered this book, a heroic epic adapted from folklore, telling the story of the heroic knight Seacroft. "I remember seeing Seacroft. The story of Groft and the princess falling in love."

Still idle, Russell continued to pick up this heroic epic and read on.

I thought it was another cliche story of a hero riding a dragon, sleeping with a princess, saving the kingdom, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

But as you read on, it gets more and more interesting.

After Seacroft fell in love with the princess, he did not reach the peak of his life, but became the princess's licking dog. Host border battles for the princess, fight against competitors, and help the princess inherit the throne of the kingdom.

After the princess agreed to ascend the throne, she married Seacroft.

However, just after the princess inherited the throne and became the first female king of the kingdom, she ruthlessly abandoned Seacroft, and had Seacroft deceived into the crater of the volcano, and then pushed into the hot lava. Seacroft is dead, but not quite dead.

His soul came to the depths of the volcano, a huge palace made of magma, where the dragon of the kingdom lived.

He told the dragon about the evil deeds of the female king and vowed to take revenge on the female king and even the entire kingdom.

The dragon was infected by Seacroft's hatred and broke the contract with the female king. Then, carrying Seacroft's soul, Seacroft turned into a ball of flame and wrapped the dragon in In flames.

The souls of one person and one dragon burn each other and stick together forever.

then.

The volcano began to erupt, and the dragon and Seacroft teamed up to destroy the kingdom's capital and then burned the female king to death.

Afterwards, the dragon and Seacroft left this ugly country.

Without the protection of the power of the dragon, the volcanoes that were supposed to nourish the entire kingdom gradually extinguished, and all warm places began to lose their temperature. Severe cold and snowstorms swept through all noble territories, and soon the entire country was frozen.

This kingdom was called the "Lost Kingdom".

And Seacroft, the knight who came out of the Lost Kingdom, rode the lost dragon and wandered throughout the Longmian Continent.

Some people say that this dragon knight, one man and one dragon, is dead.

Some people also said that they had seen this man and a dragon. They were indeed dead, but they lived in hatred. When someone with a blood feud calls for prayer, Seacroft and the Lost Dragon will appear to help him complete his revenge.

It goes on forever and ever.

"Tsk, tsk, this book is not about the peak life of the dragon knight, it is about the revenge of the dog licker." Russell shook his head, feeling that the ancients were also good at making up stories, and they knew that licking dogs would not lead to a good death. .

But after despising the "Anonymous" author for a while, Russell suddenly thought of something again.

"Is there a possibility that Seacroft and the Lost Dragon are real?"

If it were not for the existence of Little Dream Dragon, Russell might never realize that the dragon does not have only one form of existence.

The Shadow Flame Dragon of the Grand Duke protects everyone in the entire country. This is the most traditional dragon.

But Xiao Menglong is also a giant dragon.

"Even dream dragons like Little Dream Dragon can exist, so it is not impossible for Seacroft and the Lost Dragon to evolve into a 'Revenge Form'... Even if Seacroft and the Lost Dragon are just one story Story, the vengeful dragon may not exist.”

Unfortunately, there is definitely no answer to this kind of question. The entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy revolves around only one Shadow Flame dragon.

Except for Princess Anxia and a few others, probably most people have never seen the second giant dragon.

Even most people don't know that there are other countries besides the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. The Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame is everything in life.

"The Grand Duchy of Shadowflame is too small..." Russell shook his head, took a sip of the cold barley tea, and looked out the window in a daze, "Not to mention the Dark Light Valley, even my Black-rumped Snake Manor... it It can’t hold my heart.”

Sooner or later, Russell will ride on the grown-up little Dream Dragon and travel throughout Longmian Continent to experience all the dragons and legends.

If he had the chance, he would also like to visit the home world of the Snow Demons.

"We are all visitors from another world, and it is quite reasonable for us to visit each other, right?" Russell said with a grin.
