Chapter 80 -79 Mockery (Third Update)

Fluorescent Castle, the great hall.

The round table was placed against the wall, with the windows on the wall wide open. Ros the Clay Dragon’s head was reaching in through the window, taking up one of the spots at the table.

The fine scales, the cold gaze, the slightly parted nostrils that intermittently released jets of warm air, and the fierce double horns all showcased the unique beauty of the bipedal flying dragon. This beauty did not stem from its form but from its power.

A mild aura of dragon might enveloped the meeting room.

Mr. Roman, sitting against the wall, was right next to Mr. Ross’s head, currently smiling as he stroked Mr. Ross’s dragon horns.

Although Baron Roman had not been recognized as a Dragon Rider, Mr. Ross did not reject this closeness—a contract is signed through the medium of bloodlines, and once inked, it continued through the lineage, inherited generation after generation.

“The situation is such that a large number of Snow Ghosts have appeared around the Twin Rivers Trade Route, posing a serious threat to the route’s security. They must be eliminated.”

Roland took the role of chairing the meeting, his gaze sweeping earnestly over the several lords and knights seated around the round table.

Roson Fluorescent Spore from Great Wind Manor.

Marcus from Windmill Manor.

Sally from Greycat Manor.

Utreras from Red Falcon Manor.

And Russell Fluorescent Fungus from Wuyao Snake Manor.

“When do we depart?” Lord Marcus inquired. He was Malena’s father and had not looked directly at Russell since entering, “Are we coordinating our efforts with Count Flo Pot’s Knight Regiment, or are we each fighting on our own?”

Roland said, “This time we’re on our own, the center point of the Twin Rivers Trade Route serving as the boundary, each side cleansing their own area.”

“So is it Viscount Mejie leading the team this time, or is it Lord Mel?” Sally asked.

“It’s my uncle who will be leading,” Roland said with a smile.

Count Flo Pot, who was Russell and Roland’s maternal grandfather and Lady Meryl’s father, was Merlin Rain-Longflower.

Now that the Duke had just ascended to the throne and the Council of Elders had not yet disbanded, Count Merlin was still managing national affairs in Red Castle. Tributary River Mouth, his territory, was managed by his sole heir and son, Viscount Mejie Yujiuhua.

Mejie was naturally Roland and Russell’s uncle.

At the same time, Mejie’s son, Lord Mel Yujiuhua, three years Russell’s elder, had also begun learning about territory management and often accompanied the Knight Regiment into battle on the snowfields.

“Viscount Mejie, is it? Haha, when I see him then, I’ll have to have a good drink with him,” said Sally joyfully.

The knights from both houses often fought side by side, so they were all well acquainted.

Under Roland’s leadership, the meeting then moved on to discuss how to allocate battle missions. Such battles to cleanse the trade route happened every year, so the seasoned lords quickly coordinated their respective roles in just a few words.

Only Russell was participating for the first time.

“Russell, how many knights is your territory sending?” Roland asked.

“One Phantom Beast Knight, five armed knights, including myself,” Russell said. Although he had few men, the inclusion of a Phantom Beast Knight meant his contribution could not be considered meager.

“Then you will follow behind us, taking care of any small groups of Snow Ghosts that get separated,” Baron Roman interjected at the right moment.

Russell was just about to agree.

But Mr. Ross turned his head towards him and bared his teeth with a sneer, then snorted disdainfully through his nostrils, “Chuff!”

It was as if he were mocking Russell for being a coward.

Although no one understood the Dragon Language, especially since each bipedal flying dragon had a unique call that was impossible to generalize, the lords seated there could interpret from Mr. Ross’s cry that he was indeed mocking someone.

“Cough cough…” Roland even wanted to laugh, but fortunately he held it back.

Regarding this,

Russell, although annoyed in his heart, remained indifferent on the surface, exhibiting a kind of spirit of spitting in his own face. He responded to Baron Roman lightly, “Alright, father.”

Baron Roman patted Mr. Ross on the neck, apparently somewhat displeased that Mr. Ross was not giving Russell face.

But no matter how displeased he was, there was nothing he could do, as Mr. Ross was everything in Glowing Valley.

Even if it tore Russell to pieces, Baron Roman would probably only be able to weakly protest, “You evil dragon, you have betrayed the family’s trust in you.”

Then,

life would continue as it must.

A minor incident did not affect the tone of the meeting. After the tasks were clearly assigned, they agreed to gather at Fluorescent Castle on the fifth of July, three days later. The meeting thus came to an end.

The lords left the castle arm in arm, chatting amiably.

Russell was also heading back, but his elder brother Roland caught up to him and asked with concern, “How did you offend Mr. Ross? I remember it didn’t use to give you such a cold shoulder.”

“I don’t know.”

“Think about it, there must be something you did to offend Mr. Ross.”

“Really can’t think of it, I just remember that during my coming-of-age ceremony, Mr. Ross suddenly turned very cold towards me.” Russell spread his hands, he certainly couldn’t tell Roland that Mr. Ross might have realized he was a transmigrator.

Of course, he also harbored another conjecture in his heart, that Mr. Ross might have “sensed” the presence of the Little Dream Dragon.

But this conjecture was ultimately denied by him.

No matter what, the Little Dream Dragon was still a Great Dragon, whereas Mr. Ross was merely a Bipedal Flying Dragon. If it had sensed the presence of the Little Dream Dragon, Mr. Ross would likely have tucked its tail between its legs, instead of repeatedly provoking him.

Great Dragons!

They are the existence at the top of the food chain, the greatest creation born of the Earth’s power.

“Your coming-of-age ceremony? I couldn’t make it back for that. Did anything happen at the time?” Roland kept asking.

This made Russell, who was a bit touched by his elder brother’s concern, instantly understand that Roland didn’t really care about him. Instead, he wanted to learn from his negative example to identify potential points that could offend Mr. Ross and avoid them.

So he just shook his head and said, “Elder brother, if I knew, I would definitely tell you and help you ride the dragon, but I truly don’t know… In any case, if you want to ride a dragon, you will still have to make efforts in other areas.”

“What are you saying, what’s this now,” Roland touched his nose in some embarrassment, “I just wanted to help you resolve the issue with Mr. Ross.”

Seeing the disbelief on Russell’s face,

He couldn’t help but turn his head away, muttering, “I don’t care about riding dragons at all. It doesn’t matter which one of us brothers rides a dragon. It’s just that the family needs a Flying Dragon Knight… so, if I don’t make an effort, who else can I rely on?”

“I understand,” Russell smiled.

Then patted Roland on the shoulder sincerely, “Elder brother, I no longer have any hope of riding Mr. Ross, so, I truly hope you can succeed in riding a dragon. Father, Mother Rolin, Lola, and Grandmother, we all hope so.”

Upon hearing this, Roland’s embarrassed expression relaxed, and he laughed heartily, “Good lad, just you watch how your elder brother rides a dragon!”

“Great Dragon’s gaze, Glowing light’s blessing,” Russell waved his hand. “Elder brother, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Hmm, see you in three days.”

“Alright.”
