Russell had risen early, even foregoing his knight’s morning training, and had Black Oil Dragon Ross come to fetch him, carrying him towards the direction of Red Castle.

Pseudo-Harpy Dragon Hape stayed in the manor to recuperate, waiting for new feathers to grow and replace the scorched ones.

Unicorn Polly transformed into a streak of golden lightning, landing on Russell’s forehead.

This was the Mark of the Thunder Lord, where tiny bolts of lightning flitted across it, making Russell appear like a true god on earth, elevating his aura immensely.

As they passed Fluorescent Castle, Russell signaled Ross to land.

“Roar!”

“Chirp chirp!”

Ross landed in front of the gates, while Ros the Clay Dragon, perched atop the tower, immediately stared intently at Ross, declaring that this was its territory.

However, Ross merely glanced at Ros disdainfully and waited for Russell to jump down. It then silently flew atop another tower and calmly crouched down — in both size and strength, Ross was the epitome of a Bipedal Flying Dragon.

“Mr. Russell, welcome home,” Carter greeted him hurriedly at the gate upon hearing the dragon’s roar.

“Good morning, Mr. Carter,” Russell smiled slightly, harboring fondness for this steward who had labored for the family all his life.

Especially since the memories of his predecessor showed that Carter treated him and Roland consistently, not favoring Roland for his better talents and status as the heir, and not giving Russell short shrift.

“Mr. Russell, what is that on your forehead?” Carter curiously asked, as the Mark of the Thunder Lord on Russell’s forehead was indeed very conspicuous.

“It’s Polly,” Russell explained casually. “It has evolved into a Pseudo-Dragon, so Mr. Carter, standing in front of you now, is not only a Flying Dragon Knight but also a legendary Dragon Domain Lord.”

“Ah?” Carter, rich in experience and serving the great nobility for many years, naturally knew the legend of the Dragon Domain Lord.

“Is father at home?”

“Yes,” Carter subdued his surprise quickly regaining his composure, “I’ll lead the way, Mr. Russell.”

“Great,” Russell followed Carter upstairs, “By the way, where are mother, my elder brother, and Lola?”

“The lady took Lola to Great Wind Manor yesterday to soak in the hot springs, staying overnight at the old lady’s. Mr. Roland went out early this morning to inspect the ice period arrangements for the new serfs at various manors,” Carter said. The Fluorescent Fungi Family also bought quite a few serfs this year.

Taking advantage of the Council of Elders not yet closing the loophole in the serf trade, the great nobles were actively buying serfs to replenish the population of their estates.

As they were speaking.

They saw Baron Roman already standing on the second-floor corridor, waiting for Russell’s arrival: “Early in the morning, I heard Rossay and Ros’ cries… huh, Russell, what’s with the lightning on your forehead?”

Carter gave a bow and took his leave, ushering away the servants who were cleaning, leaving ample space for father and son.

“Father, let’s talk outside; it’s too cramped in here,” Russell said, then he and Baron Roman went out to the training field.

The next moment.

The Mark of the Thunder Lord on his forehead transformed into lightning that flew out, then sketched out the magnificent figure of Unicorn Polly.

Gazing at Polly’s enlarged form, golden lightning-patterned horn, and gently fluttering pairs of huge wings, Baron Roman was slightly mesmerized: “Is this?”

“A true unicorn,” Russell declared proudly. “Pseudo-Dragon, Unicorn!”

“Pseudo-Dragon!” Baron Roman’s gaze locked tightly on Polly, suddenly recalling something, he widened his eyes and looked at Russell, “Polly has ascended to a Pseudo-Dragon, which means, Russell, you’ve ascended to a Dragon Domain Lord!”

Russell nodded, “Yes, Father.”

“This… this really is surprising!” Baron Roman’s shocked tone turned into a deep sigh.

There was a time when he thought riding a dragon was out of his reach, and he simply hoped that one day, a phantom beast would fight alongside him to be promoted to Lord of the Dragon Domain. It’s safe to say that most knights, when they see no hope in riding dragons, fantasize about breaking free with their phantom beasts.

However, after he rode Ross the Clay Dragon, Baron Roman had forgotten his desire to become a Lord of the Dragon Domain.

He never imagined.

That his younger son Russell would realize this dream of knights and become a legendary Lord of the Dragon Domain.

Polly folded her wings and hovered quietly beside Russell, her golden horn shimmering and her white fur soft and smooth. She hadn’t changed much in shape from her pseudo-unicorn dragon phase, but her demeanor had elevated significantly.

This made it difficult for Baron Roman to take his eyes off her.

Meanwhile, on a distant tower, Ross the Clay Dragon stopped confronting Black Oil Dragon Rossay and instead began to stare at Unicorn Polly.

Instinctively, it sensed a power within Polly no less formidable than its own, qualifying her to stand by its side—essentially, both pseudo-dragons and bipedal flying dragons are miraculous creatures infinitely close to true dragons.

After the surprise, putting aside the complex emotions within, Baron Roman slowly turned to Russell, “It’s joyous to be a Lord of the Dragon Domain, but I am more curious about what you and Polly experienced beforehand that led to your joint promotion?”

“It was Snow Giant Da…” Russell detailed the events of yesterday.

After listening, Baron Roman furrowed his brow, “To think that a Snow Giant would cross the border, it seems the Shadowflame Dragon really… lacks substance. But luckily, you are fortunate and survived Da’s ambush, even getting promoted to Lord of the Dragon Domain!”

“It’s also thanks to Polly inherently having pseudo-dragon blood, otherwise becoming a Lord of the Dragon Domain might have still been out of reach,” Russell said.

He did not know how the previous Lords of the Dragon Domain had survived life-and-death ordeals or what kind of willpower they relied on to get promoted.

But he knew his own willpower was not very strong since he was just an ordinary person in his previous life.

Being able to become a Lord of the Dragon Domain was due to a combination of factors: Polly’s pseudo-dragon lineage, the empowerment from the Amber Worm, the temporary halt of time by the Little Dream Dragon… Of course, Russell felt that his nonchalance in the face of death likely played a significant role too.

If he had cried or screamed for help before dying, he might not have been able to evoke Polly’s empathy and unleash the power of her bloodline.

In conclusion.

He succeeded, becoming a legendary Lord of the Dragon Domain.

“What do you plan to do now?” Baron Roman asked.

“I definitely need to report the situation of Snow Giant Da crossing the border and attacking to Red Castle, and maybe have a chat with the Shadowflame Dragon,” Russell said, “but before going to Red Castle, I wanted to ask for your advice first, Father. What do you think I should do now?”

“That you would ask for my opinion first, I really appreciate that,” Baron Roman sighed emotionally, then shook his head, “But I regret that I can’t offer any good suggestions… you know, I have been laying low for many years.”

“Alright then.” Russell smiled, “I’ll head to Red Castle first.”

“I would go with you… never mind, better you go alone. I’ve been penalized with three years of harsh military duty, it wouldn’t be good for me to show my face at Red Castle,” Baron Roman waved his hand.

“Then I’ll be going.” Russell waved to Polly, who transformed back into the Mark of the Thunder Lord and settled on his forehead.

In an instant, Rossay flew down, and with a leap, Russell mounted him and flew north.

Watching the silhouette of the Black Oil Dragon vanish into the sky.

Baron Roman shook his head in both relief and regret, “Russell has already grown to such heights, far surpassing his father… Snow Giant Da… sheesh, luckily I thought it unwise to wage war during an ice age, otherwise had the ambush been on me, I doubt I had the guts to rise as a Lord of the Dragon Domain…”
