Chapter 231: Chapter 230: Welcome Polly to Join the Family (Additional Chapter, Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 231: Chapter 230: Welcome Polly to Join the Family (Additional Chapter, Requesting Monthly Votes) Being promoted to Phantom Beast Knight, mastering Magic – Wind Walking Skill, and evolving Wraithwalk into Ethereal Dream Escape Skill, can indeed be called a triple blessing.

By the light of the moon, Russell found Eric and they returned to the station together.

“Sir, how are you doing?”

“Very well, the Phantom Beast Knight is truly powerful, and this time on the battlefield I can play a bigger role,” Russell said with a smile.

“After reaching Fire Ant Swamp, if there is no immediate battle, please continue to work hard, Sir, and diligently practice Battle Qi Sword Control, Fighting Spirit Armor, and Beast Fusion Shadow Skills so that you can fully utilize the power of the Phantom Beast Knight.”

“Good, I won’t slack off,” Russell assured.

Eric then muttered, “Now that you have been promoted, Sir, please take back command of the support squad.”

“No, in the area of battlefield command, I still have a lot to learn. If it’s a mission to clear the trade routes, I can practice with confidence, but this is a life-or-death battle, so you are still in command.”

In this area, Russell was very self-aware. He was no military strategist, and there was still much for him to learn.

There was no need for unnecessary meddling.

Back at the station, the first thing Russell did was report the good news to his father, Baron Roman, “Father Sir, I have successfully been promoted to Phantom Beast Knight.”

“Excellent!” Baron Roman exclaimed with joy, having been looking forward to it for several days, “With your promotion to Phantom Beast Knight, you have more means to protect yourself. The conditions at the station are simple; when we return to Fluorescent Castle, I will celebrate this promotion for you.”

“Okay.”

“This is undoubtedly good news before the big battle, but Russell, you have only just been promoted, and you have not begun to refine your magic and skills. The improvement in combat power is not much, so you still need to keep a low profile… Remember the survival method of the Fluorescent Fungi Family?”

“Stay inconspicuous.”

“Correct, stay inconspicuous,” Baron Roman earnestly imparted his many years of survival experience, “Do not widely spread the news of your promotion to prevent the Duke from calling you up to face the Snow Demon and Snow Beasts.”

“Understood.”

“In any case, be discreet in your actions. With the great battle imminent, we also need to think more for ourselves,” Baron Roman patted his second son’s shoulder.

He had sent Roland back to Fluorescent Castle to hold down the fort, and now his only worry was Russell.

Russell said softly, “Father Sir, should things become untenable, please also consider the future of our family. A temporary retreat is for a more composed future.”

“Ha ha, how could I not know that? You don’t need to worry,” Baron Roman laughed, pointing to a water tower not far away, where Ros the Clay Dragon was perching on top, “Mr. Ross and I have this understanding.”

The implication was that when it was time to flee, Mr. Ross would definitely not leave him behind.

Russell nodded, “Then I’m relieved.”

Shortly afterward, father and son exchanged a glance and laughed together. After their laughter, they bid each other goodnight and went to rest.

…

“Gah!”

A squawk announced the arrival of the Little Dream Dragon.

Russell stood in place, waving to the Little Dream Dragon, “This time you’ve slept for seven nights, which is longer than usual, and you even breathed an Original Dragon Flame for Bao Li… Ice Cream. Why have you suddenly become so generous?”

“Gah!” the Little Dream Dragon raised its head and offered no further explanation.

It was its Original Dragon Flame to give to whomever it wished since it could replenish it, so it didn’t mind giving away a breath or two.

“Well, as you wish,” Russell laughed, mounted the dragon, and in an instant illuminated the entire Gloomy Dreamland, seeing countless bursts of Magic Light.

This was the Magic Light of the entire Knight Regiment, sketching the images of numerous knights.

Patting the head of the Little Dream Dragon, Russell said, “I thought after breathing out an Original Dragon Flame, you’d have to sleep for another three days and nights. It seems that after the forks in your antlers, you’ve grown quite a bit… Hey, why have your antlers split again? Now you have three forks!”

Back at the Tributary River Mouth, the Little Dream Dragon’s antlers had split once, and now they had split again. One antler with three forks, it looked even more like a deer’s antlers.

A small Thorn was wound around one of the forks, gently swaying.

The Sword Butterfly did not like to stay on the antler tips but preferred the space between the two antlers where the fine, dense scales were.

“Ga ga!” The Little Dream Dragon laughed heartily, bursting with pride, and then flew directly toward where Unicorn Polly was.

Polly was already asleep, lying in the midst of the branches, her body gently cradled by them as if in a rocking cradle.

The Wind Walking Skill worked round the clock, allowing her to sleep without needing to land.

Russell was somewhat curious about the actions of the Little Dream Dragon, “What are you doing, Ice Cream?”

The Little Dream Dragon raised its head and called out toward Polly, “Ga!”

The next moment.

Polly’s Magic Light vanished, and at the same time, a small unicorn glowing with a pinkish luster suddenly appeared in the Gloomy Dreamland.

“Rush?” The small pink unicorn opened its big eyes and looked around blankly.

It was even smaller than Russell in his Primordial Spirit form, measuring only ten centimeters from horn to tail, and was just as plump – completely different from the real-life Unicorn Polly.

At the same time, Polly’s voice echoed in Russell’s mind, “What’s happening? Am I dreaming?”

“Polly!” Russell was shocked.

Looking at the proud Little Dream Dragon and then at the dazed little pink unicorn, he fully understood what had happened.

The Little Dream Dragon had pulled Unicorn Polly into the Gloomy Dreamland. At this moment, Polly, just like him, was in her Primordial Spirit form.

“Russell?” Spirit Polly recognized the plump little child as Russell and asked through their mind link, “What’s going on? I’m dreaming, aren’t I? Where is this place and why am I having such a dream? And this… this frightening fellow.”

“This isn’t a dream, this is the Gloomy Dreamland, Ice Cream’s domain.” Russell laughed heartily and gestured to Polly, “Come here, if you can fly, then follow us. We’ll take a look around first, and I’ll explain slowly.”

“Ga!” the Little Dream Dragon flapped its wings, picking up speed to at least forty kilometers per hour.

The Magic Light around him gradually vanished as he utilized the Dream Clone and flew into the dark world.

“…So that’s pretty much it, Polly. I never imagined Ice Cream could actually pull you into the Gloomy Dreamland… However, it’s a bit regrettable that the Dream Clone didn’t expand because of your arrival. It’s still a three and a half meter radius.”

“It’s truly amazing,” Polly exclaimed in her mind.

“Yeah, amazing. All the wonders of this place originate from Ice Cream,” Russell said as he petted the Little Dream Dragon’s neck.

The Little Dream Dragon was incredibly proud: “Ga!”

All this started on the eve of Russell’s crossing over when, while eating Dream Dragon ice cream, he was run over by a dump truck that didn’t slow down.

Since then, he had the M-shaped mark and had met the Little Dream Dragon.

Turning the Little Dream Dragon into his golden finger.

Initially, the golden finger had only one function – the Gloomy Dreamland.

Of course, the Little Dream Dragon’s Original Dragon Flame was also a function, but it was not unique to Gloomy Dreamland. It was an ability shared by Great Dragons and Bipedal Flying Dragons.

Later, with the addition of the Sword Butterfly Amber Bug, a brand-new function was added – the Dream Clone.

After that, having ingested two Ice Soul Pearls, he acquired another function exclusive to Russell – the Gaze of the Dark Dream.

The contract with Unicorn Polly followed, gaining Polly’s innate magic – the Wind Walking Skill.

Today, with a breath of Dragonflame from the Little Dream Dragon, the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill, a new function of Wraithwalk, was upgraded – entering the Gloomy Dreamland, the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill.

“Gloomy Dreamland, Dream Clone, Gaze of the Dark Dream, Wind Walking Skill, Ethereal Dream Escape Skill… we’re getting stronger and stronger,” Russell laughed, “In short, let’s welcome Polly to join the big family of the Gloomy Dreamland along with Ice Cream, Sword Butterfly, and Thorn.”

The Little Dream Dragon cried out proudly, “Ga!”

The Sword Butterfly improvised a dance, Thorn waved its little branches vigorously while the somewhat shy Polly also responded gently, “Rush.”

At this moment, the Gloomy Dreamland’s family was growing.
