Chapter 418 - 418 417 Best Partners

Chapter 418: Chapter 417 Best Partners Chapter 418: Chapter 417 Best Partners Perhaps influenced by Russell, “Thunder Descends on the Dragon Domain” became a thoroughly satisfying face-slapping drama.

The story continues from the first part, “The Dragonriding Youth,” but it isn’t exactly a sequel, more like a sister piece.

The protagonist Su Luo, who had already advanced to a Flying Dragon Knight, was ambushed by Snow Giant Ah and nearly lost his life. Yet, with the help of his companions, he ultimately broke through to become a Dragon Domain Lord.

But no one knew that Su Luo had been resurrected; they all thought he had died.

Then Su Man, Su Luo’s father, suffered humiliation at the hands of Count Loxau, and their relatives were also oppressed by him. Just as Loxau became arrogant, Su Luo made an entrance amidst thunder, severely injuring a Three-headed Bipedal Flying Dragon with a single sword blow.

He then stepped on Loxau, with his left foot pressing down on the other man’s right cheek.

He forced Count Loxau to bow his head, restored his relatives’ properties and titles, and without delay, joined forces with the Flame Giant Dragon to begin a vengeance assault on Snow Giant Ah, eventually leading the Knight Regiment of the Grand Duchy of Flame to flatten the Snowfield.

He cut off the head of Snow Giant Ah and presented it to the young Grand Duke, and married the Grand Duke’s sister, becoming the Guardian God of the Flame Dragon Blood Family.

The play came to an end.

In Yuanguang Town’s opera house, the applause was thunderous.

Not to mention that “Thunder Descends on the Dragon Domain” was extremely satisfying, even if it had been a dull and sleepy flop, the town’s audience wouldn’t dare not to applaud—this was a drama claiming to be “adapted from the life of Baron Thunderflame, the Flying Dragon Knight, the Dragon Domain Lord, Russell.”

In Glowing Valley, the Fluorescent Fungi Family was heaven, and no one dared to disrespect them.

In the noble’s box, Lola was holding Mrs. Roby’s arm and asked curiously, “Aunt Roby, did Russell really step on Earl Osclo’s face?”

Mrs. Roby turned her head and looked at her nephew who was sitting and resting with his eyes closed, as if he had no interest in “Thunder Descends on the Dragon Domain.”

She couldn’t help but feel emotional and said, “He did. Aunt saw Russell step on it with her own eyes.”

“Cool.” Lola clicked her tongue.

She found it hard to imagine that her usually gentle and refined elder brother had such a wild side, daring to step on the face of an Earl, a member of the high nobility.

Lola, who had seldom left Glowing Valley, didn’t have a clear understanding of Russell’s status and identity.

“Cousin, will you marry Princess Kunlaya?” Diana, who had emerged from her gloom, whispered to her mother, “In ‘The Dragonriding Youth’ and ‘Thunder Descends on the Dragon Domain,’ Su Luo married the princess.”

Although privately, many noble ladies were discussing this topic.

But Aunt Roby was unclear about what her nephew really thought, despite frequently joining Lady Ingrid in dropping hints and probing.

It seemed that Russell had no intention of marrying Princess Kunlaya.

“But if you don’t marry Kunlaya, Russell, under what status will you ride the Shadowflame Dragon?” Mrs. Roby pondered to herself.

Not only was it widely rumored among outsiders that Russell was a rider trained by the Shadowflame Dragon.

The Fluorescent Fungi Family was also looking forward to Russell mounting the Shadowflame Dragon with great expectation—with Russell on the dragon, the Fluorescent Fungi Family might not become a Dragonblood Family, but they would certainly be associated with a dragon.

With this curiosity,

Mrs. Roby, after the drama had ended, specially pulled Russell into her carriage and enquired, “Whisper to your aunt, do you have any hope of riding the Shadowflame Dragon?”

Regarding this question,

Grandmother Lady Ingrid, Mother Lady Meryl, as well as Father Baron Roman, Elder Brother Roland, and even maternal grandfather Earl Merlin, had all privately inquired of Russell.

“I’m sorry, Aunt, I don’t know,” replied Russell with his standard response. “Whether I am a rider trained by the Shadowflame Dragon or not depends on the Shadowflame Dragon’s thoughts, not mine, doesn’t it?”

“That’s true,” nodded Mrs. Roby, accepting Russell’s answer.

A knight’s ability to become a Dragon Knight, of course, depends on the dragon’s will; if the dragon disagrees, even if you are the legitimate heir of the Dragonblood Family, you cannot ride one.

After dismounting from the carriage.

Russell rode on the back of Unicorn Polly, and he himself was concerned about this issue, “Polly, do you think knights can really only contract with one dragon?”

“Russell, I have a hypothesis.”

“Please tell me.”

“Considering the condition of bipedal flying dragons, knights indeed can only contract with one bipedal flying dragon. This contract is not like phantom beast contracts; it has a high degree of exclusivity… This is also determined by the power attributes of bipedal flying dragons.”

Dragon Breath is an overlay.

Prime Breath is a fusion.

So as long as Prime Breath does not exceed the limit of fusion, they can coexist peacefully, and theoretically, a knight could contract with many phantom beasts.

But since Dragon Breath is an overlay and not a fusion, after contracting, Dragon Breaths cannot coexist peacefully. One must always cover up the other, meaning a knight can only contract with one bipedal flying dragon and not more.

“So, to clarify whether dragons can contract with multiple ones, one must first understand the power attributes of dragons,” Polly said.

“This… Although I have been in contact with Ice Cream night after night, I am not clear about its power attributes, as I have not contracted with it. The same is true for Shadowflame Dragon.”

“Yes, so since we cannot judge based on power attributes, we can only infer from the words of the Shadowflame Dragon.”

“Go on.”

“The Shadowflame Dragon clearly only wants to be the one and only dragon; it has mocked you, Russell, for your greed. However, it did not explicitly deny whether you could contract with it after you’ve contracted Ice Cream.”

At that time, Russell had expressed the idea that he could contract with the Shadowflame Dragon, which led to the Shadowflame Dragon mocking him for his greed.

But the Shadowflame Dragon did not give a direct denial.

“After your explanation, it seems I understand now… The meaning of the Shadowflame Dragon is quite clear: contracting is possible, but the pride of dragons doesn’t allow them to accept a Dragon Knight with divided loyalties?”

In her mind, Polly replied, “Yes, that’s what I think too.”

However, she added, “But don’t get your hopes up too high, Russell. If bipedal flying dragons are already so proud, how much more so the pride of dragons? There has never been a knight who rode two dragons in the five thousand years of civilization.”

“Dragons are indeed proudly obstinate, a difficult hurdle to overcome,” Russell laughed, “but anything is possible with effort, and there are always exceptions… Haha, just thinking out loud. Ice Cream is the dragon partner of my future!”

Just then.

The M-shaped mark in the palm of his left hand flashed without igniting, as the Little Dream Dragon was still digesting the star crystal in its slumber.

Also, with Torrent Scale Tower nearby, it would not easily reveal any presence.

Raising his palm and making a fist, Russell smiled softly, “Ice Cream is chiding me for being fickle.”

“But that’s just the kind of person you are, Russell,” Polly teased in their minds. “Or rather, that’s how humans are, always pursuing more, more spirits, more phantom beasts… It is precisely this pursuit that creates civilization, isn’t it?”

“You are so eloquent, Polly. The Old Shadowflame Dragon only said it was greed.” In Russell’s eyes, Polly was not only intelligent but also emotionally astute.

The Pseudo-Harpy Dragon, however, fell short. It had enough intelligence but lacked emotional intelligence.

This was also why he had not yet succeeded in perfectly synchronizing his spirit with Hape; there was always a barrier between them.

But this was the normal state of cultivation for a Phantom Beast Knight.

Like his and Polly’s situation, such resonance of spirits, was extraordinary: “We two are the perfect partners!”
