Warm Dragon

"Roman, Meryl." Count Merlin Yujiuhua gently embraced his son-in-law and daughter, "You've worked hard on the road."

At this moment, he is no longer the majestic chief executive of the Senate, but just a kind old father.

"No, it's not very hard." Lady Meryl's eyes were filled with tears, but her smile was happy, "Father, your body is still so strong, and there is not much change from when we met in the Red Castle. This is great, great."

"What changes can I have." Count Merlin said with a smile, "Mercedes's power is boiling in my body. Only when I return to the volcano and follow the Grand Duke, will aging come to me."

Count Merlin's son, Viscount Major, also stepped forward and hugged his brother-in-law and sister one by one.

He often met Baron Roman, but he hadn't seen Lady Meryl for more than a year: "Welcome home, Meryl."

"I'm very happy, brother." Lady Meryl smiled with tears in her eyes.

Viscount Major's wife, Kunna Shadow Flame, also smiled and hugged Lady Meryl: "You are exhausted from all the hardships, but you must get enough energy quickly. Many noble ladies in Sanchahekou are missing you."

"I miss them too, especially the time when you just got married, Kunna, and I was not married yet... Time flies, and our children have grown up."

"Yes, Mel has been talking about Russell's name at home, I don't know how many times." Kunna Shadow Flame smiled and looked at Russell who was hugging and greeting Earl Merlin, and whispered, "He and Mel standing together are like a pair of brothers."

It has to be said.

Outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament make Russell always receive more attention.

"Little ghost fire, you have grown up!" Earl Merlin did not see Russell many times, but he often saw him when he was a child.

When Earl Merlin went to the Red Castle to govern, Russell only went there once with his parents, and met him at a dinner party in the Red Castle.

Russell seemed to be twelve years old at that time. After that, his memory of the Red Castle and Earl Merlin gradually became blurred. It was not until he saw Earl Merlin again tonight that Russell awakened the impression of his grandfather in his previous life.

Serious and cold.

So this made Russell a little restrained, and he was not as close and warm to Earl Merlin as his elder brother Roland.

Besides, he didn't like socializing very much, and he had some social phobia, especially meeting relatives.

"It's nice to meet you, Grandpa." Russell tried his best to make his smile more sincere.

But his alienation was easily seen through by Earl Merlin. The elegant old earl didn't show anything, but just smiled gently: "Take Bluebird Castle as your own home and have a good time."

"Okay."

The greeting ended in a bland way.

Earl Merlin began to caress Lola's hair intimately, although Lola was not a little beauty, but at least she was not ugly, and she was quite cute. Therefore, Earl Merlin pulled Lola and talked for a long time.

"Uncle."

"Okay, I must accompany my uncle to drink a few cups in the evening!"

"Definitely." Russell replied with a smile.

Then he greeted his aunt Kunna Yingyan: "Aunt, your complexion is still as good as ever."

"Knowing that you are coming, my aunt is very happy. When people are happy, their complexion will follow." Kunna smiled.

She was born in a noble family and was the aunt of the current Grand Duke. After marrying into the Yu Jiuhua family, she only gave birth to a son, cousin Mel, and was unwilling to continue to have children. Therefore, she was well maintained. At the age of 45, she was still as graceful and attractive as a girl of 27 or 28.

Although her smile was very bright.

But Russell could still sensitively perceive from some micro-expressions that Aunt Kunna was not really happy about the visit of his family.

He even vaguely felt that Aunt Kunna was slightly disgusted with his family.

"Because it's ugly, or because of something else?" Russell didn't know.

And he couldn't figure out whether his feelings were right or wrong.

Fortunately, Aunt Kunna didn't need him to socialize. That was the problem that the Baron and his wife needed to worry about. He only needed to play happily with cousin Mel.

Wait until the proper etiquette process was completed.

Mel put his arm around Russell's shoulders and walked into the castle with Russell on his shoulders: "Haha, I finally waited for you to come. Have you exercised well in the territory? I think your physique is a little weak!"

"Weak? I'm still growing." Russell laughed.

"So you have to practice fighting spirit and become a great knight as soon as possible, then you won't be weak." Mel teased.

Compared with cousin Mel, Russell's current strength is indeed a little weak.

Mel is only three years older than him, but he has been promoted to a great knight early, just waiting for the time to ride a dragon as a "virgin". Despite the family's massive investment in magic potions, it also proves that Mel himself has a good talent.

In other words, people like cousin Mel and elder brother Roland are the elite among the nobles.

Russell was just an accident.

…

The dinner at Bluebird Castle was not very grand, mainly because no local nobles were invited to join them. Only a large family sat around a round table to enjoy dinner, but the dishes were served continuously like an assembly line.

As Russell's personal butler, he was needed to serve Russell at this time.

When the servants of Bluebird Castle brought the plate, he had to take it and put it in front of Russell so that Russell could take the food at any time.

No chopsticks, only knives and forks.

Russell's aristocratic manners are impeccable. He eats quickly and elegantly, but he only eats magical food and only tastes ordinary food. He doesn't like most of the dishes in this world, so he only looks at which one is more nutritious.

When encountering magical food such as Yuan Beast Meat and Magic Potion Porridge, he directly treats it as a magic potion.

"Russell, how far have you practiced now?" Earl Merlin asked Russell curiously. He was very satisfied with his first impression of this handsome grandson, and he did not waste the good appearance genes of the Yu Jiuhua family.

Russell responded: "The main meridians of both arms have been opened, and now the main meridians of both legs are being further excavated."

"You did not develop Dou Qi until the coming of age ceremony, did you?"

"Yes, Grandpa."

"This progress is good." Earl Merlin said with satisfaction, "The talent for Dou Qi cultivation is important, but perseverance is more important. You were able to develop Dou Qi before the coming of age ceremony, and you were able to excavate the meridians in your arms in a short period of time, which shows that you have made some efforts."

In more than four months, the meridians in both arms were excavated, and the speed of cultivation is no worse than that of some genius knights.

Of course.

Genius or not is not the standard for judging whether a knight can succeed. The standard is whether he can contract a fantasy beast and whether he can ride a dragon.

Contracting a fantasy beast and even the practice before riding a dragon are just to pave the way for welcoming extraordinary power.

Ordinary knights fantasize about contracting a fantasy beast.

And the children of the nobility are thinking about riding a dragon wholeheartedly!
