Chapter 416 - 416 415 Torrent Scale Tower in Leize (Extra

Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Torrent Scale Tower in Leize (Extra, Seeking Monthly Pass) Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Torrent Scale Tower in Leize (Extra, Seeking Monthly Pass) Russell arrived at Fluorescent Castle, with pressing matters to discuss today.

Among the guests at Fluorescent Castle were also Chosen Son Kunsley Xiangrikui and Lord Seal Minister Kunqiao.

“Lord Russell,” in front of the grand doors of Fluorescent Castle, everyone together greeted Russell’s arrival, with Kunsley extending a warm welcome.

Despite Russell’s clear support for Chosen Son Mel, no one dared to alienate Russell. Moreover, no matter which Chosen Son ultimately won, Russell would still be one of the most important figures in the entire Grand Duchy.

“Lord Kunsley,” Russell squinted at the other party.

It was this person who had previously incited Drella to look for trouble at big brother Roland’s wedding, attempting to drive a wedge between the relationships of the Fluorescent Fungi Family and the Rootline Family.

But Kunsley was just a small fry.

Russell had planned to confront his grandfather, that is, Baron Swan Quinbylf Flame-shadow, and had even issued a challenge declaration.

However, he suddenly ascended to the role of Dragon Domain Lord and lost the chance to challenge.

Baron Kunbiff had already publicly declared Russell as the number one person in Shadowflame Grand Duchy, admitting that he was far from being Russell’s match.

Since the opponent had acknowledged weakness, Russell naturally could not challenge him anymore.

“Eight Torrent Scale Towers, didn’t we just complete one? Why are you in such a rush to build one in my Leize Land?” No sooner had Russell stepped into the castle and taken his seat as host and guests, than he directly questioned Kunsley and Lord Kunqiao.

Lord Kunqiao was just there to show his face on behalf of Red Castle.

The real person in charge was Chosen Son Kunsley, but he explained: “This is the situation; building the Torrent Scale Towers requires accumulating experience, so the Council of Elders decided after discussion to first build the scale tower in the Warm Enclave, and after the craftsmen have become adept, then move to build on the Snowfield.”

“Is that so,” Russell frowned, saying no more.

Of course, he hoped that the later the tower was built, the better. Once the Torrent Scale Tower in Leize was completed, it could be “watched” by the Torrential Flood Dragon at any time.

A Little Dream Dragon, a Shadowflame Dragon, and a Torrential Flood Dragon.

He could say he was unprecedented in being watched by three giant dragons.

But being watched by the Shadowflame and Little Dream Dragons was still fine, as it only brought benefits and no harm. Being watched by the Torrential Flood Dragon felt a bit like “someone else sleeping by the side of one’s couch,” making it inconvenient for the Little Dream Dragon to come out again.

Baron Roman did not understand the intricacies of it all, thus he said, “Russell, building the Torrent Scale Tower is a good thing. This way, your territory will be less susceptible to invasion by Snow Giant Da, so you must provide the necessary cooperation.”

Russell nodded, “Alright, father, I will cooperate with the tower building.”

Pausing for a moment, he looked at Kunsley: “But land development is currently underway in my territory, and I cannot spare many serfs to go to Leize Land to build towers. When the time comes to build the tower, the supply of manpower and materials will need to be shouldered by Red Castle. At most, I can offer some convenience.”

“Craftsmen and materials can be provided by Red Castle, but as for laborers and standard building materials, they still need to be locally conscripted.”

Fearing Russell’s dissatisfaction,

Kunsley quickly emphasized: “This is a decision made by the Council of Elders. In the construction of the eight Torrent Scale Towers, apart from the one directly undertaken in the Warm Enclave to the west, the other seven will conscript laborers and materials from whichever Warm Enclave they are closest to.”

Lord Kunqiao joined in: “The Torrent Scale Tower due south, being built in Leize Land, should theoretically be split between Baron Youguang and Baron Thunderflame.”

Baron Roman nodded in agreement: “That’s fine.”

“Then let’s execute it that way,” Russell nodded, calmly accepting the arrangement of the Council of Elders; it was a noble’s obligation.

After all, building the Torrent Scale Towers was for the safety and security of Shadowflame Grand Duchy.

As long as Snow Giant Da could be eliminated, the Torrent Scale Towers could be dismantled and the absolute shelter of the Shadowflame Dragon restored.

Besides,

Russell was actually somewhat looking forward to the completion of the Torrent Scale Towers, as once the power of the Torrential Flood Dragon descended, it could speed up the warm resonance between Glowing Valley, Blackflame Plains, and Leize Land, rapidly forming a complete large-scale Warm Enclave.

Once the construction plan for the Torrent Scale Towers was confirmed, a large number of craftsmen from Red Castle quickly poured into Blackflame Plains.

Then they conscripted a large number of serfs locally, crossing the shattered Snowfield and entering the swampy Leize Land.

With the deadline pressing, the work of the serfs was exceedingly hard.

Even though Russell repeatedly emphasized the need to genuinely ensure the safety of the serfs’ lives, there were still many who accidentally fell into the swamps and drowned. Even some knights guarding the serfs accidentally fell into the marsh and drowned. In the face of nature, knights who could neither fly nor possess superhuman abilities were not much different from ordinary people.

…

Half a month later.

When Russell returned alone from a hunt deep in the Snowfield, a pyramid-shaped Torrent Scale Tower had already risen from the ground in the southern part of Leize Land.

“Phew, it’s finally built.” Russell rode upon the Black Oil Dragon Ross, looking down at the newly built Torrent Scale Tower.

The M-shaped mark in his palm flickered slightly, the sleeping Little Dream Dragon expressing its discontent with the Torrent Scale Tower.

How can one tolerate another’s snoring by their couch!

“Speaking of which, Ice Cream, how can you sleep for half a month just by eating a little pinky of Snow Giant Da?” Russell complained. Ever since that night, the Little Dream Dragon had been in deep slumber, causing Russell to stockpile over twenty Ice Essence Pearls.

The M-shaped mark flickered, the Little Dream Dragon offered no response—who could blame it for being a dragon baby fond of sleep.

While he was still griping,

two Flying Dragon Knights rushed over, Baron Roman and Marquis Arno. With a smile, Marquis Arno said, “Lord Russell, how was today’s hunt?”

“Not bad, at least I got an Ice Essence Pearl,” Russell replied with a smile.

As the Torrent Scale Tower was about to be completed, Marquis Arno came daily to inspect the progress, eager to determine the completion date so he could notify the Torrential Flood Dragon.

“Congratulations,” said Marquis Arno with a laugh, then teased Baron Roman, “You’ll have to work harder. It’s June, the Warm Season is getting hotter, Snow Demons will retreat further, and it won’t be easy to harvest Ice Essence Pearls.”

Baron Roman raised his eyebrows slightly: “It’s not that bad. Twenty Ice Essence Pearls can be easily gathered.”

As he said this, he glanced at Russell.

The implication was clear.

If the father couldn’t harvest enough Ice Essence Pearls, couldn’t he just ask his son for a few to make the count?

After the three Flying Dragon Knights conversed in midair for a while, Russell eventually asked, “Lord Arno, when can the Torrential Flood Dragon arrive?”

“Today,” said Marquis Arno.

Shortly after his words fell, they heard a rumbling sound coming from the distant sky: “Hmm!”

Soon after, the massive body of the Torrential Flood Dragon, flickering with blue light, broke through the clouds and rapidly flew in from the northwest direction.

In an instant, it arrived above Leize Land.

The warm breath also spread out from the sky, blowing towards all directions of Leize Land, a warmth unique to a dragon.

Compared to the slightly hotter warmth of the Shadowflame Dragon, the warmth of the Torrential Flood Dragon was as faint and tepid as breath.

Judging by elemental attributes, the Torrential Flood Dragon was clearly of the water type.

While the Shadowflame Dragon was of the fire type—elemental attributes did not affect volcanic eruptions, dragons create Warm Enclaves using the radiation of their own power, not the temperature of the magma in the volcanoes or the heat from burning Dragonflame.

“Polly, be prepared to use the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill,” Russell whispered in his mind.

The Mark of the Thunder Lord on his forehead flickered, and Polly answered in his mind: “Don’t worry, Russell, I’m always ready.”

Better safe than sorry.

They had no protection from the Shadowflame Dragon here; if the Torrential Flood Dragon were to suddenly become violent, no one could stop it.

Russell could only protect himself.

Fortunately, after the Torrential Flood Dragon landed, it made no move against Russell and didn’t even give him a direct glance—it did not wish to add to Russell’s reputation, giving him the title of being observed by the Torrential Flood Dragon.

After all,

The Torrential Flood Dragon, too, did not have its own knight and needed to avoid favoritism.

Hisss, a tiny scale was torn from its neck, directly tossed into the Torrent Scale Tower.

The next moment, the Torrential Flood Dragon let out an endless dragon chant: “Hmm!”

The Torrent Scale Tower began to tremble, the deep roar of the Torrential Flood Dragon echoed within it, and then a massive phantom rose.

When the phantom merged with the Torrential Flood Dragon, the Torrent Scale Tower was considered activated.

Without a word, the Torrential Flood Dragon turned and flew back into the sky, leaving Leize Land under everyone’s watchful gaze.

And at the moment the Torrent Scale Tower was activated,

As the Lord of Leize, Russell keenly felt a new power beneath his feet in the land of Leize, now filled with a fresh force.

He thought silently, “As significant as the radiating power of the Shadowflame Dragon, subtle, omnipresent… Is this the power of the Torrential Flood Dragon? Now I’m under its power’s influence, at any time, anywhere, it can pry into my affairs.”
