Chapter 609 - 609 607 Our Business is Booming

Chapter 609: Chapter 607: Our Business is Booming Chapter 609: Chapter 607: Our Business is Booming Roland Yingguangjun picked up a bipedal flying dragon, Roland Yingguangjun mounted the Nickel Silver Dragon… The Fluorescent Fungi Family is a family watched over by dragons and blessed with radiant light!

Along the snowfield between the Volcanic Oasis and the Glowing Territory, a sonorous and resounding dragon chant blossomed. Roland became the thirteenth Flying Dragon Knight of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy (including Russell)—the Nickel Silver Dragon Knight.

Before the Warm Season had even arrived, the entire nation was in jubilation.

Everyone praised the Fluorescent Fungi Family. Seventy or eighty years ago, this family didn’t even bear a noble surname and was merely a Duchy’s Lord.

Now, however, it has replaced the Flamecrest Dragonblood Family and become the most noble bloodline within the Shadowflame Grand Duchy.

“What a legend!”

“The dragons are watching! The Shadowflame Dragons love the Fluorescent Fungi Family too much!”

“If it were me, I would also watch over the Fluorescent Fungi Family. Grand Duke Russell has established several peaks of the Way of the Knight, being a Fourth-layer High Dragon Domain Lord and a Phantom Dragon Knight—it’s unique to the entire Dragon Sleep Continent!”

“Three geniuses from one family! Father and sons all ride dragons!”

“No doubt, starting tomorrow, I, Lars, will head for the snowfield. If I don’t pick up a dragon in this lifetime, I will never return!”

“I’ll join you, let’s go!”

News about Roland riding dragons filled every street corner and manor market, and the public relished the tales of the Fluorescent Fungi Family.

Of course, compared to the unsuspecting commoners, the nobility of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy were very clear that this was not a matter of luck.

It couldn’t just be good fortune that the Shadowflame Grand Duchy was lacking Nickel Silver Dragons, and Roland just happened to find one.

It couldn’t be mere chance that the Warm Enclave opened by the Nickel Silver Dragon was situated exactly between the Volcanic Oasis and the Youguang Province, and right next to the exploding ridges, perfectly suited to nurture a symbiotic resonance and further expand the connection between the Volcanic Oasis and the small green expanse of Cloud Dream Marsh.

Even less likely was it mere luck that it was Roland who found this bipedal flying dragon.

“Roland truly is a lucky guy, having such a brother who is destined to make his mark in human civilization’s history,” said Mejie Yujiuhua and his wife, Kuna Yingyan, as they travelled together to Fluorescent Castle to attend the dragon-riding celebration.

On the way, Uncle Meijie kept expressing his admiration more than once, and the envy in his words was so thick it seemed almost tangible.

He was a knight with mediocre talent.

His father, Marquis Merlin, had directly passed the title of Count Flo Pot to his grandson, Mel. As a result, he still held the title of Viscount, staying honestly at the Tributary River Mouth to manage the family’s estate, and that was it for his life.

But in his heart, he too dreamt of riding dragons.

His father rode dragons, his son rode dragons, his brother-in-law rode dragons, and both his nephews rode dragons. Everyone rode dragons except him; he couldn’t mount one.

“Of course,” Lady Kuna’s tone was even more acidic, “if Russell got anything good, naturally he would favor his own family, not outsiders like you and me. The biggest mistake your father ever made was helping Russell to ascend to power!”

“Shut up!” Uncle Meijie scolded, “Don’t ever say that again. Russell was not put there by my father; it was your Inferno Dragonblood Family’s incompetence that forced the Shadowflame Dragon to change its contract and choose Russell!”

Lady Kuna wanted to retort.

But meeting Uncle Meijie’s icy gaze, she quickly withered—the Inferno Dragonblood Family had already changed hands, and she had lost all her support.

After scolding his wife, Uncle Meijie continued, “Adjust your attitude properly. The Fluorescent Fungi Family is now the true Flamecrest Dragonblood Family, especially when it comes to my sister, Lady Meryl, you must maintain ample respect!”

“In the past…”

“There is no past. In the past, you could look down on anyone. Now, you are just a Viscountess without power, influence, or strength,” said Uncle Meijie as he looked outside the carriage, “Lady Meryl is now the most honored lady in the whole Shadowflame Grand Duchy.”

…

“Big brother, how does it feel to ride a dragon?” In Fluorescent Castle, Russell teased his brother Roland, who was brimming with excitement.

Unlike the Black Oil Dragon Egg he initially received, this Nickel Silver Dragon Egg had no debts attached. So, after the blood recognition, it hatched very quickly.

However, the Black Oil Dragon was the top choice among bipedal flying dragons, while this Nickel Silver Dragon, with a size similar to Ros the Clay Dragon’s, was considered a medium-sized bipedal flying dragon—clearly, the Shadowflame Dragon had cut some corners during the refining process.

“Let’s give it a name,” Baron Roman said, leisurely holding a glass of red wine.

Previously, he had ridden Ros the Clay Dragon himself and felt somewhat indebted to his eldest son, Roland. Now, the issue was perfectly resolved.

“Roland, you do it,” Russell said.

“No, it’s your partner,” Russell laughed. “Besides, it is owned by the Fluorescent Fungi Family.”

Roland nodded and then after seriously considering for a moment, said, “Let’s call it Luo Ze… The Warm Enclave it opens up will be called Silver Mountain, which can be planned as Silver Mountain Province.”

“Brother, maintain constant communication with Luo Ze and wait for the nickel silver mine to flourish before swiftly beginning mining operations. Then, expedite the construction of the under-ice railroads,” Russell instructed.

“Yes.”

At that moment, Gwyn came in, holding two-year-old Luo Jie in her arms.

Upon seeing Roland, Luo Jie immediately cheered, “Oh oh oh, my father is a Flying Dragon Knight now, a Flying Dragon Knight!”

Roland laughed heartily, “Son, you are now the son of a Flying Dragon Knight!”

“Father, when I grow up, I want to ride dragons too!” Luo Jie said in his childlike voice.

“Sure, we’ll ride dragons together!”

Following them, Lady Ingrid and Lady Meryl came over and looking at the scene, couldn’t help but beam from ear to ear.

The Fluorescent Fungi Family could truly be called a home for Flying Dragon Knights.

After the bustling Dragon Riding Celebration concluded, Russell didn’t return to Red Castle immediately but rode Sacred Unicorn Polly to Silver Mountain.

Silver Mountain was being developed, and the neighboring explosive mountain ridges were also under development.

“As Warm Enclaves are opened up one after another, Shadowflame’s strength can be enhanced further. Polly, do you think Shadowflame’s power might already have surpassed that of the Fiery Dragon?”

“How would I know that?”

“In the future, when I ride atop the Shadowflame, perhaps I can have a contest with King Ares,” Russell mused delightedly.

“By then, you’ll already be a second-layer High Dragon Knight,” Polly said.

“That’s true… It’s just that I don’t know how strong Ice Cream will be. Although Ice Cream is invincible in the Gloomy Dreamland, it doesn’t seem to be able to touch reality. I wonder what Ice Cream’s strength will be like once it descends to reality after the volcano erupts.”

“It must be very powerful!” Polly believed firmly.

“I think so too.” The human and the unicorn, following the newly developed Warm Enclave, slowly flew past.

Upon entering the territory of the Volcanic Oasis, they saw a new railroad being laid.

Countless workers, braving the severe cold, were working at full tilt. It was very tough, and some even collapsed along the route of the railroad. Although the ten-hour work system had been implemented, overtime was inevitable.

This was the price of industrialization and the price of rapid development.

Fortunately, Russell had drafted strict laws to ensure workers’ safety and used maximum effort to produce healing potions, sending them to each construction team, ensuring most workers could withstand the high-intensity labor.

He even inspired a group of knights with limited talent to forsake their horses and lances and set up Knight Construction Crews specifically for breakthrough tasks.

Breaking rocks, laying roads, building bridges… Humans with battle qi could unleash boundless strength.

“Polly, look!”

“What is it, Russell?”

Russell, gazing down at the railroad being laid and the steam trains already in operation in the distance, said with a smile, “Our endeavors are thriving day by day!”
