Warm Dragon

Chapter 430: Velim Kinnari

People feel the strongest happiness in the hot summer, especially those living in the warm enclaves, who can smile every day.

Because in the hot summer, everything grows most vigorously and harvests a lot of fruits.

Because in the hot summer, the power of the snowfield keeps retreating, and there is no danger of snow demons or snow ghosts invading the territory.

The situation of the first barbecue buffet dinner in Cigar Castle quickly spread throughout the Black Fire Land. Six great knights and twelve armored knights were accepted as followers by the master of the Black Fire Land, Baron Thunder Flame Russell.

The most talked about thing is the title of Eric and Charles.

Especially Charles' title.

Eric is a fantasy beast knight, Russell's knight class teacher, and Russell's guard knight leader. Following Russell in the battles of the south and the north, and also participated in the Second Fall, the title is expected and not surprising to anyone.

On the contrary, Charles is unexpected.

Charles is Russell's confidant, there is no doubt about that. The entire reclamation work of the Black Fire Land was presided over by Charles.

But Charles's weakness is that his fighting spirit is too poor, and he cannot contract a fantasy beast.

And he has not been to the snowfield much, participated in the battle and made meritorious contributions, so it can be said that there is basically no possibility of being knighted.

After all, the title of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame has always only been about military merit and bloodline-the second son of a noble, with noble blood, can be knighted without military merit; ordinary people who do not make military merit can only take the side route of scholars.

However, Charles was enfeoffed.

Naturally, there will be knights who feel resentful and think that Charles's promotion has broken the rules, but Russell doesn't care. His success comes from himself. Eric and Charles have helped him a lot, so he is willing to share the glory with them.

Human nature is complex, and there is no perfect system in the world.

It is unfair to only talk about rules and not about human feelings.

As a lord, Russell needed great knights with outstanding abilities to fight for him, but he also needed loyal subordinates who served him and his territory. Cao Cao could select people based on their talents regardless of their background, so what if Russell learned a little?

Besides, he had two warm enclaves, which would be connected to a larger one in the future, and it would be no problem to enfeoff dozens of lords!

So what if he gave one to his confidant? Shouldn't the lord have some privileges?

With the help of Charles, he sent this signal.

Not only did the knights want to fight under Russell, but even those ordinary people who were not knights seemed to see the possibility of becoming nobles.

Baron Lei Yan rewarded his subordinates not only for their military exploits, but also for their contributions in other areas.

Of course.

For the serfs, these had nothing to do with them. The most important thing was to plant more fields honestly and keep more harvests. Only when you are full can you have children, and maybe your son will be chosen by the lord in the future.

Sent to practice fighting spirit and become a knight.

Then it is really "dragon watching", embarking on a different road.

"Lord Eric, good morning!"

"Greetings to Lord Eric."

"Meet Lord Eric."

Eric, who came to inspect the wasteland construction site with the golden and silver wolfhound, clearly felt the changes brought about by the different identities.

In the past, everyone respected him.

But now everyone is in awe of him, and they dare not even look him in the face. Even some knights will show awe.

Eric understands that this is not awe of him personally, but awe of his noble title. But then again, the noble title is earned by him, and what is the difference between others awe of the noble title and awe of him personally.

Therefore, Eric is quite excited in his heart. He has been longing for this day for too long.

Fortunately, he has not slept all night and has consumed too much excitement, so that he can now completely control his mentality.

Facing the greetings of the crowd calmly, he led a few knights to inspect the wasteland construction sites as usual.

"After Lord Eric was promoted to Lord, he has not changed as before." Many knights sighed.

And he admired Eric more and more: "This is a true knight, who is consistent in his inner and outer appearance."

The other newly promoted lord was a little different.

"Good morning, Lord Charles."

"Sir Charles, good morning, have you eaten?"

"Hello Sir Charles!"

Everyone greeted Charles warmly and respectfully, but Charles nodded in return.

Then he rode on his warhorse, took a group of knights and clerks, and left quickly.

"Sir Charles is in a bad mood today?" Red-nosed Rudy touched his red nose. He was originally the head of the Magic Potion Village and the technical officer of the Black Snake Manor, and now he is the technical officer of the entire Black Fire Land.

His deputy, an elderly serf technician, tapped his pipe upon hearing this: "Maybe I'm in a good mood."

"What do you mean?"

"Today, Sir Charles' status is different from ours." The deputy said, "Sir Rudy, maybe you should change your name and call him 'Sir Charles' to get a smile again."

Filling the pipe with tobacco, lighting it, and taking a puff, the deputy said, "But with my nearly sixty years of life experience, maybe even if you change 'Sir' to 'Sir', you still can't get Sir Charles' smile."

"How could this be?"

"I have seen too many noble lords. They will only show their kind side in front of other noble lords. When facing ordinary people, like you and me, they are basically very cold." The deputy laughed.

It is true that old people become wise.

Charles greeted anyone along the way with a casual nod, and at most replied with a cold "hello".

But when the eldest brother Roland rode the nightmare ghost horse, Charles quickly put on a bright and wrinkled smile.

"Ah, Lord Roland, you are here!"

"Lord Charles." Roland had already heard the news, smiled, and shouted Charles's title, "Congratulations to you for getting your wish, getting the title of Lord, and becoming a noble of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame."

Charles beat his chest and said, "My master has given me this honor. Charles can only repay his loyalty by following the bloodline of the master for generations!"

The two exchanged some polite words.

In fact, Roland was a little dissatisfied. Why did Russell want to confer a knight in armor as a lord? In fact, there are many officials like Charles in the fluorescent mushroom family, but they have never been treated preferentially.

In the eyes of the nobles, officials who govern the territory are just high-level servants. How can servants become masters overnight?

However, considering that Charles is Russell's family teacher after all, Roland can understand.

"Sir Charles, we will also call the knights to hold another meeting today to arrange the next land reclamation tasks."

"Okay, Sir Roland."

...

After inspecting the territory, accepting a few followers, and conferring two lords, Russell once again became a hands-off shopkeeper.

Busy practicing with the pseudo-harpy dragon Hape, and strengthening the relationship with the Ouroboros.

At the same time, he also has to take time to run-in with the unicorn Polly.

Although the fighting style of the Dragon Domain Lord is not essentially different from that of the Fantasy Beast Knight, it just has an additional "battle form" compared to the Yuanxi Armor and Fantasy Beast Photo, and has mastered the power of thunder.

But after all, there are still many detailed skills that can be further optimized and improved.

On the road to improving strength, Russell never felt boring, on the contrary, he was addicted to the process of becoming stronger.

The exploration of strength is endless.

"Become stronger!"

His belief was extremely firm.

At the same time, on the charcoal slag road leading to the Black-waisted Snake Manor.

A knight with an exotic appearance, riding a large bird similar to an ostrich but with plump feathers and golden color, galloped on the charcoal slag road.

After a while, he arrived at the gate of the Cigar Courtyard.

The male servant guarding the gate immediately stepped forward and asked: "Sir, who are you? Do you have an appointment to come to the Cigar Courtyard?"

"I don't have an appointment." The knight was very young, as if he had just come of age, and his accent was very strange. "My name is Willim Kinnari, I am the Phoenix Baron of the Kingdom of the Blazing Torrent, and I am here to visit the Dragon Territory Lord Russell Fluorescent Mushroom."

As he said, he also took out a letter: "This is a letter from the elected son Mel Yu Jiuhua to Mr. Russell, asking me to bring it over."
