Chapter 356: Chapter 355 Going Abroad
“The Dragonriding Youth” had already made its way into Glowing Valley by late November, with each passing day growing colder as another ice age approached.
Russell had taken care of matters within his territory.
In fact, there wasn’t much to handle. Blackfla Plains hadn’t fully expanded yet, and it was difficult to access due to the surrounding snowlt. He would have to wait until the surrounding caverns’ configurations stabilized and the trade routes through the territories were established before sending people to develop the area.
As for Wuyao Snake Manor, there wasn’t much change.
Russell was prepared. Within three to five years, he would move to Blackfla Plains to reside and return Wuyao Snake Manor to the Fluorescent Fungi Family—he had been re-appointed as a lord of the Grand Duchy and was no longer a vassal of Mr. Luo Man.
With everything ready, he could go out in search of the Snow Demon and devote himself to training the Little Dream Dragon.
“Sir, won’t you wait a bit longer?” Charles asked with a smile, “The Dragonriding Youth” is confird for a performance at the town’s theater. Because of this play, countless knights throughout the Shadowfla Duchy now wish to follow you.”
“I’ve already read the script. It’s full of fabrications, barely resembling my experiences, and not worth watching at all.”
Russell resisted sowhat: “A dramatization is not the sa as fabrication; adaptation is not the sa as distortion.”
“Sir, it’s just a form of entertainnt, and everyone is aware that the play’s content doesn’t match your experiences. Yet, it doesn’t prevent people from imagining your journey and your success in such a manner, while holding great expectations for you,” Charles explained.
“What do they expect of ? To behead the Snow Giant like Su Luo in the drama, and want
to behead the Snow Giant Da?”
Russell shook his head with a wry smile: “Charles, rember what the survival way of the Fluorescent Fungi Family is—remaining low-profile!”
He climbed onto the Black Oil Dragon Ross, waved his hand, and departed: “Let’s go.”
As Russell and the silhouette of the Black Oil Dragon disappeared into the horizon, Charles murmured to himself: “Low profile, you say… Now even our countryside knows that you’re about to challenge Baron Kunbiff.”
Pausing for a mont, he headed toward the Temporary Office, continuing his muttering: “Baron Kunbiff has spread word, wishing to give you a taste of the absolute power of an veteran Flying Dragon Knight… But it seems that you, sir, are not in a rush to challenge him?”
A challenge, of course, would co, but not just yet.
The timing still wasn’t ripe.
So at that mont, Russell was already riding the Black Oil Dragon Ross, alongside Unicorn Polly and Pseudo-Harpy Dragon Hape, heading into the vast expanse of the Snowfield.
They soon reached the southernmost end of the Shadowfla Duchy—Greentown Snow Forest.
“Gu’er!” Back on familiar ground, Hape appeared a bit excited, especially upon seeing the group of Owl-Like Dragons.
“Gu’er!”
“Gu’er!”
The Owl-Like Dragons beca equally excited upon seeing Hape, flying towards it and then bowing their heads in submission.
Although Hape didn’t possess the qualities of the Beast King, it was indeed the king of this group of Owl-Like Dragons.
“Gu’er!” Hape energetically scanned the group of Owl-Like Dragons and then let out a roar, dispersing them.
It then turned to look back at Russell.
Through their soul connection, Russell sensed threads of gratitude from Hape.
He thought to himself: “It seems I need to bring Hape here more often to mingle with the Owl-Like Dragons. It would help to synchronize our souls even more.”
Soul synchronization training isn’t a one-way effort.
It requires both parties of the contract to work together persistently in order to steadily improve the efficiency of soul synchronization and ultimately achieve perfect sync.
“Hape, why don’t you stay here at the Greentown Garden Cold Spring Point and have fun with the Owl-Like Dragons for a few days? When Rossay, Polly, and I return from hunting the Snow Demon, we’ll pick you up,” thought Russell, and he decided to leave Hape behind.
Fantasy Beasts are the foundation of a Flying Dragon Knight’s strength, but when it cos ti to battle, a Flying Dragon Knight does not necessarily need a Fantasy Beast by their side.
Moreover.
They had Polly, transford into Snowy Unicorn Armour, for defense, and Dragon Breath turned into Battle Qi Dragon Warrior for offense.
The space for Hape to unleash its power was limited.
“Quack.” Hape seed to be struggling with the decision, but in the end, it agreed to stay in Greentown Garden.
After bidding farewell to Hape, Russell set off once more, but not without a sense of regret in his heart, “Polly, there has always been a sad, thick barrier between Hape and .”
“Russell, you don’t need to be disheartened. Hape has grown much closer to you than before. If it had been earlier, it would have definitely stayed without hesitating, but now at least it’s begun to struggle with the decision. Clearly, it’s changing.”
“You’re right, that’s a good sign.” Russell laughed heartily, their hopes bolstered anew.
Being a Second Turn High-ranking Mythical Beast Knight was not his goal. Becoming a Third-layer, Fourth-layer, or even a Fifth-layer High-ranking Mythical Beast Knight—that was his aim.
The journey continued.
Flying above the Greentown Snow Forest, about halfway over the forest,
suddenly, Russell and Rossay felt a special kind of feeling deep in their hearts that they had crossed the boundary line of Shadowfla Duchy.
Once they flew past this vague boundary line, they could no longer sense the influence of the Shadowfla Dragon.
“Roar.” Rossay let out a gentle call, a feeling of rootless loneliness and fear erging in its heart at this mont.
It was born from the power of the Shadowfla Dragon, and by accepting and amplifying the power of the Shadowfla Dragon, it could create the Blackfla Plains. Now, however, not only had it left the Blackfla Plains it had also left the influence of the Shadowfla Dragon.
It had beco a completely rootless and lonely dragon.
“No, Rossay, my child, you are not a lonely dragon; you have .” Russell stroked the scales on Rossay’s neck.
Rossay nodded gently, responding in his heart, “Yes, Father, I have you.”
“And you have Polly, Hape, and… the ice cream you haven’t seen yet,” Russell laughed.
At this mont,
he had truly left the Shadowfla Ducal Nation with Rossay and was out of the country in the true sense of the word, “Rossay, let’s fly slower, and carefully feel the series of changes in our strength now that we’ve left the Shadowfla Duchy.”
“Roar.”
Man and dragon glided slowly, carefully feeling the changes in the strength within their bodies.
If having left Blackfla Plains ant Rossay’s strength was reduced by about a third, then leaving Shadowfla Duchy had further lessened Rossay’s strength by about ten to twenty percent. This ant that now, Rossay’s strength was only half of what it had been in its own territory.
Of course,
Even at half strength, Rossay’s power was still overwhelming for fantasy beasts, the intensity of its Dragon Breath was still not sothing Second Turn Primordial Breath could compare with— even Fifth-layer Primordial Breath could not match it, but was only infinitely close.
“Can you still sense the location of the Cold Spring Point?”
“I can, Father.”
“Good.”
“But my recovery ability seems to have slowed down, Father. If we encounter any battles up ahead, we must be cautious,” Rossay said in his heart. “With the loss of the Shadowfla Dragon’s influence, the Snow Demon’s power is gradually increasing.”
“I understand.”
On the Dragon Sleep Continent, the warmth brought by the great dragons nourished a five-thousand-year civilization for humans, yet the dominant the of the world was still icy wilderness and snowfields.
The power of the Snow Demon always shrouds the Dragon Sleep Continent.
“Let’s go. First, we find the nearest Cold Spring Point then make that our center and proceed to the next Cold Spring Point. Step by step, we move deeper into the snowfield!” Russell commanded, and then man, dragon, and beast embarked on their international journey.
Continuing south beyond the Shadowfla Grand Duchy, there were no human kingdoms, just a true wasteland of ice and snow.
