Chapter 383 - 383 382 Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things

Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things? Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things? In the following two days, Russell stayed peacefully at Golden Top Castle, declining the requests of guests who wished to socialize, spending most of his time flying to the Snowfield.

He even sought out the place where Davis had met his demise, but alas, the heavy snow had long since swept away all traces.

Russell could only kill Snow Ghosts on the Snowfield and occasionally find one or two Snow Demons.

But he actually hoped to encounter Snow Giant Da.

“Having grasped Secret Technique: Sword of Thunder, my strength now is only second to Dragon Knights. With Snow Giant Da seriously injured, perhaps I…” Of course, this thought was only fleeting, without full confidence, he wasn’t willing to confront Snow Giant Da directly.

After all.

No matter how injured, Snow Giant Da could still crush Baron Davis with a single punch and severely wound Peat Dragon Howard.

“Let’s go, Polly, Rossay, let’s head home.” Russell mounted the Black Oil Dragon Ross and activated the Thunder Boosting Technology.

Ross, cloaked in thunder, swiftly returned to the Golden Prairie.

It was then he discovered that Earl Merlin, his grandfather, had already arrived and was listening to the impassioned arguments of Earl Osclo.

In the past two days, Osclo had been acting very humbly, fearing to be trampled on the face again by Russell, that reckless young man. Yet, he stayed, waiting for Russell’s elders to arrive and advocate for Daison’s inheritance right.

After all, the older generation talked reason.

Unlike young people like Russell, who didn’t uphold the martial ethics.

After listening to Osclo’s impassioned speech, Earl Merlin frowned and called out to Russell, “Come here.”

“Grandfather.”

“Did you beat Osclo?” Earl Merlin asked sternly.

Russell responded frankly, “Yes.”

“And you severely injured that Three-headed Bipedal Flying Dragon with a single sword strike, to the point where it still can’t fly?”

“Yes.”

With each answer from Russell, Earl Merlin’s frown deepened.

Osclo, meanwhile, felt a covert thrill, thinking that appealing to the parents indeed worked wonders. Faced with an undisciplined young man like Russell, one should bring out his elders to discipline him rather than take risks personally.

The next moment.

Earl Merlin slammed the table, “You little rascal!”

Osclo clenched his fist secretly, wishing inside, “Quickly, Old Merlin, punch your grandson a few times!”

Earl Merlin scolded furiously, “You dare to deceive your grandfather? When we compared Dragon Breath, you definitely held back! I knew it! The legendary Dragon Domain Lord, practically akin to contracting a second dragon, couldn’t have Dragon Breath nearly as strong as mine!”

Russell was taken aback, then he couldn’t help but laugh, “Grandfather, you’re getting stronger with age, and I’ve only just advanced, not yet skilled enough to control my power.”

“Good, you weren’t familiar with your power before, I forgive you for that. But you must spar with me again and not hold back at all,” said Earl Merlin as he stroked his beard, “I want to see if you truly are invincible!”

The claim of “invincibility” was clearly part of what Osclo had complained about.

Listening to the grandfather and grandson, who seemed unconcerned with his complaint and were getting ready to test their Dragon Breath strength once more,

“What of me?” Earl Merlin turned around, calmly looking at Earl Osclo.

“You’re indulging Russell in trampling the noble etiquette of the Grand Duchy!” Osclo let it all out.

He berated, “As a titled noble of the Grand Duchy, showing no respect for Counts, and even disregarding the Flamecrest Dragonblood Family, it’s simply a lack of home training. As the Chief Executive, Earl Merlin, you failing to properly educate your family’s younger generation, isn’t it a disgrace!”

Count Merlin frowned, “Are you teaching an old man how to do things?”

More than a decade as Chief Executive had left its mark, causing Osclo’s emotions to falter for a moment, but he quickly recovered and insisted, “As a senior regent, you indulge the members of your family in such excesses, trampling over the noble etiquette of the Grand Duchy…”

Taking a deep breath, Osclo said, “I will report your dereliction of duty to the Regent Lady and request your removal as Chief Executive!”

“Suit yourself,” Count Merlin responded indifferently.

Then he calmed Russell who was itching to give Osclo another thrashing, “Let him be…let an old man first see the strength of your Dragon Breath.”

Osclo strode out, but he did not leave Golden Top Castle.

The three-headed Bipedal Flying Dragon of his family was still not fully recovered from serious injuries, its flight unsteady, and so he had to wait here for it to continue healing.

In his entire life, he had never suffered such humiliation.

So, returning to the tower where he was staying, he locked the door and smashed everything in the room to pieces, then sent for Madam Kunli to come back—not satisfied with just smashing things, he needed to beat someone to vent his anger.

…

Boom!

The stand-off between the Fourth-layer high-ranked Phantom Beast Knight Dragon Breath quickly broke under the assault of the Dragon Domain Lord’s Dragon Breath, the defeat was quite decisive.

“Huh,” Count Merlin retracted his defeated Dragon Breath and looked slightly dazed, “Who would have thought that my own grandson would surpass me, becoming the foremost person in the Shadowflame Duchy…Russell, your grandfather is proud of you.”

“Thank you for your praise, grandfather.”

“This isn’t praise, this is a fact,” Count Merlin said, reaching for the cigar box on the table and pulling out a Frost Snow Cigar.

Russell immediately picked up the firestarter from the table and lit Count Merlin’s cigar for him.

However, he himself did not smoke. Drinking and smoking were not among his hobbies; he rarely indulged in them outside social occasions.

Breathing out a puff of smoke, Count Merlin pondered for a moment, then asked, “How does your strength now compare to Snow Giant Da’s?”

“I don’t know. After all, when the Snow Giant Da ambushed me, whether it was the ambush or the counter, it was all too hasty to accurately measure the strength of Snow Giant Da… and the Shadowflame Dragon needs to hibernate, otherwise, I really would like to challenge him.”

“Hehe,” Count Merlin chuckled, “Before leaving Red Castle, I went to Shadowflame Volcano myself.”

“What did the Shadowflame Dragon say?”

“It didn’t say much, but I could feel that it was in a good mood. This is probably because your rise to Dragon Domain Lord brought it a great deal of new power. With the gain and loss, Snow Giant Da may no longer be a threat.”

“I’m not sure, but the time Snow Giant Da ambushed me, he was indeed severely wounded by both me and the Shadowflame Dragon.”

The Snow Giant Da had already lost an arm to the Torrential Flood Dragon, making it difficult to recover its strength.

After such setbacks, its condition would have declined even further.

“Therefore, I have decided to continue the Demon Subduing Order. However, Flying Dragon Knights need to hunt in teams for Snow Demons,” Count Merlin sighed, “Baron Davis’s fate is a warning; Snow Giant Da still has the strength to threaten Flying Dragon Knights.”

“Grandfather, is there any response from Marquis Arno?”

“After arriving in our Grand Duchy, Arno has been living in a drunken stupor. I didn’t bother to see him and had Chosen Son Kunsley deal with him,” Count Merlin said with a smile as he stroked his beard. “But I heard that at a banquet, when Arno heard you were promoted to Dragon Domain Lord, he spilled his wineglass right there on the spot.”

The existence of a Dragon Domain Lord had previously occurred in the Fiery Torrent Duchy, and there might even be one still alive today.

Therefore, Marquis Arno Sunfire is very familiar with Dragon Domain Lords.

“That old scoundrel has a dark heart. He took eighty percent of the profits from my cigar trade. After the funeral is over, it will be a good time to ‘visit’ him again,” Russell said. The cigar business was growing, and it was time to recalculate the profits.

The development of the Blackflame Plains and Leize cannot be separated from the Gold Coins brought by the cigar trade.
