Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 205 - 205 204 The Great Wronged

Chapter 205: Chapter 204: The Great Wronged Chapter 205: Chapter 204: The Great Wronged The guest rooms on the ground floor of Fluorescent Castle were reserved for nobles’ attendants and servants.

Halls and Big Dumb Bear Grof were sharing a room, lying on the comfortable beds, with no desire to fall asleep anytime soon.

“Hey, Grof, have you ever slept on a bed this soft before?” Halls initiated a conversation, seeking to kill the silence.

Grof, standing at one meter and ninety centimeters with a burly build, spoke in a surprisingly delicate voice, “Yes, but the blanket is kind of small.”

“What?”

“I said the blanket here is kind of small. My feet are sticking out.” Grof moved his exposed feet a bit.

“It’s not cold now; the heat of the summer has just passed.”

“Yes, it’s warmer than the Wildman Cave.”

“I thought Sir would have to make quite an effort to recruit you, but you knelt and kowtowed as soon as he did,” Halls said. “Grof, you’re an armed knight, haven’t other lords tried to recruit you before?”

“No,” Grof replied, “Sir is the first.”

“Why? You look pretty strong.”

“Because I’ve beaten up nobility before; they think I don’t have the proper respect for nobles.” Grof turned over on his side.

“You just crippled a lord’s second son, and there was a reason for that.”

“A lord’s second son is still a noble.”

“That’s true… Lord, I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to become one in my lifetime?” Halls began to daydream.

But his bubble was quickly burst by Big Dumb Bear Grof, “For a commoner to be conferred the title of lord, one must at least become a Phantom Beast Knight.”

“Uh…” Halls was at a loss for words.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, “Can you become a Phantom Beast Knight, I mean, can you cultivate to be a Great Knight?”

“I’m already a Great Knight,” Grof replied.

“What?”

“It’s nothing.”

“No, what did you say just now, you’re already a Great Knight?” Halls sat up from the bed all at once, “Grof, are you joking with me? A Great Knight, how can you possibly be a Great Knight.”

“I really am a Great Knight,” Grof stated calmly.

“I don’t believe it!” Halls couldn’t accept the truth, “Aren’t you just an armed knight? Without magic potions in the cave, how could you cultivate to be a Great Knight! None of Sir’s four knight attendants who rely on Sir’s support every day have achieved that!”

Grof’s tone remained calm, “Although there are no magic potions, meditating a little every day to replenish my Battle Qi, and then, with practice, I just managed to clear all the tiny meridians.”

“That’s impossible!” Halls felt overwhelmed for a while, before calming down, “Have you told Sir about this?”

“No.”

“Why not mention it?”

“Sir didn’t ask.”

“Ah!” Halls turned on the light and walked over to Big Dumb Bear Grof’s bed, “Are you out of your mind? Such a thing, why wouldn’t you tell Sir? If he knew, your treatment would improve several-fold!”

“I’ve never thought about these things,” Grof replied. “I’m quite content with how things are now. If it weren’t for you dragging me out, I would be quite happy living in Wildman Cave.”

“How can that be ‘quite good’! What kind of life is in Wildman Cave, and what kind of life is now, Grof, don’t tell me you have no ambitions!” Halls couldn’t help getting excited again; he dreamed of becoming a Great Knight.

Becoming a Great Knight meant the chance to form a contract with a Fantasy Beast. Keep in mind that Russell had a Red-eyed Rat King that had yet to be contracted.

If one could get along with the Red-eyed Rat King, one could instantly advance to be a Phantom Beast Knight.

This meant he could soar to the skies!

But here was Big Dumb Bear Grof, apparently devoid of any desire, as calm as if resigning to eat and wait for death.

“Pursuit…” Grof tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling for a long while before shaking his head, “It seems I don’t have any.”

“Why not!” Halls couldn’t understand, “Don’t you want to go back for revenge and win back your childhood sweetheart?”

“I did take my revenge, I destroyed that guy’s Qi Seed.”

“But what about your childhood sweetheart!”

Grof paused for a long while, then calmly said, “She… later married that guy. I went back and saw, they had three children.”

“Uh…”

“Isn’t this the best outcome? The guy’s Qi Seed has been destroyed, so he can’t do evil anymore. And Jennie… doesn’t have to carry the stained reputation, and her three children are all very cute, with a good relationship between husband and wife.”

“Damn, you’re really a big softie.” Halls, feeling helpless, turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

Grof didn’t respond. He truly felt that everything was pretty good—Jennie was happy and his own anger had been vented.

As for life, it seemed the same wherever he was, as he had no material desires.

“When do you plan on telling Sir that you’re a Great Knight?” Halls suddenly asked, “If you don’t tell, I’ll have to report it to Sir. With such matters, we can’t have any secrets from Sir.”

“Then you help me tell him,” Grof had no objections.

The two didn’t continue their conversation. After some time, Halls suddenly complained, “Sir should reward me with a Gold Coin, damn, I actually recruited a Great Knight for Sir!”

However, at this moment.

The two were unaware that Russel was riding the Little Dream Dragon, curiously observing Grof.

“What’s going on here, I remember Halls and Grof were arranged in this room, right? Next door is Eric,” Russell looked ahead, where the Magic Light outlined a complete body, “Halls is here, Rangers always have this kind of scattered Magic Light, but who is this?”

“Gah?”

“Don’t tell me, this Great Knight is Big Dumb Bear Grof.” Russell shook his head, making a mental note of the current situation.

Prepared to wake up and inquire more carefully about it.

“Let’s go, Ice Cream, let’s make a round trip to Sharp Knife Mountain and see if we can cross Sharp Knife Mountain to stroll on the Snowfield.” Russell and the Little Dream Dragon were now uninterested in treasure hunting within the territory, their minds fully set on the Snowfield hunting Snow Ghosts and Snow Demons.

“Gah!”

Regrettably, the Snow Ghosts near Sharp Knife Mountain seem to have been wiped out by Mr. Ross. After wandering half the night, he didn’t see a single Snow Ghost.

“Forget it, let’s wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow we’ll escort the thunder beasts pulling the carts, we’ll have enough time to hunt the green and blue skins on the way.”

“Gah.”

“Alright, goodbye.”

Consciousness faded, and when he logged on again, it was 7:30 the next morning, with Carter the old butler providing punctual alarm service.

“Not a moment more of sleep is allowed!” Russel scratched his hair, feeling every stay at Fluorescent Castle was haunted by the fear of still being governed by a 996 work schedule.

However, with the entrance of the pretty and comely maids who warmly greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Russell,”

All fears instantaneously dissipated.

“Good morning.”

Russell freshened up, changed into a new set of undergarments, and then a new male servant came to help him dress.

“Oh right, I keep forgetting to ask, what happened to Thomas who often served me?” Russell thought of the rather flamboyant Thomas and couldn’t help asking.

The servant answered, “Thomas was caught by Mr. Carter drinking Sir’s wine stash in the cellar and was expelled from Fluorescent Castle.”

“Hmm.” Russell knew that it must have been the old butler Carter’s punishment for Thomas’ refusal to follow him to Wuyao Snake Manor.

After finishing the buffet breakfast and just stepping outside, he saw Halls with Big Dumb Bear Grof, waiting at the front door.

“Sir, regarding Grof, I have new information that I need to report to you.”
