Chapter 90 -89 The Way of Survival for the Fluorescent Fungi Family

Lord Medikalun, like Mr. Ross, was a bipedal flying dragon.

At the Tributary River Mouth, there were two bipedal flying dragons. One was called Mercedes, a manganese steel dragon, now serving as the mount for Count Merlin—one of the few Flying Dragon Knights of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy.

The other was the Blue Crystal Dragon Medica Loren, which had not yet been accepted by any knight.

After the lively banquet, the two Knight Regiments set off from Cold Spring Point, ready to return to their respective territories.

“Chirp, chirp!”

Mr. Ross circled in the sky.

Baron Roman and Viscount Mejie shook hands, bidding each other to take care before each mounted their horses.

Roland followed close behind Baron Roman.

Russell waved to Cousin Mel, “Take care on the way back.”

“Don’t forget what you said, come and stay at Bluebird Castle for a month,” Cousin Mel cautioned with concern.

“Got it.”

“Stay in shape, don’t let the high society ladies and gentlemen laugh at you.”

“You should worry about yourself.”

Thus, after a brief gathering, the two Knight Regiments headed off in different directions, returning home along the Twin Rivers Trade Route.

The journey there took a week, but the return took only three days.

When the Knight Regiment left the snowfield and entered the Red Bat Grotto, stepping onto the Charcoal Dust Road, everyone sighed with relief.

Suffering through inadequate food and sleep on the snowfield, with its endless dull whiteness, was a mental torment for anyone.

Especially for someone like Russell, who felt uncomfortable not bathing for a day, you can imagine his suffering after more than ten days without a bath, especially after sweating profusely during every battle.

“We’re back!” a knight exclaimed loudly.

“I’m back!”

“Damn it, finally going to be home!”

There were also more poetic knights, who closed their eyes and savored, “The sound of hooves on the charcoal dust sounds so good!”

“I really want to jump into the Glowing River and take a bath!” another knight said as they saw the babbling streams within the Red Bat Grotto, itching to feel the water.

The Glowing River originated from the Red Bat Grotto, where melting snow water served as an excellent source, ensuring it never ran dry.

Upon leaving the Red Bat Grotto, they would reach Lord Rosen Glowingmushroom’s domain, Great Wind Manor.

Uncle Roson, accompanied by his knights, parted from the Knight Regiment. Baron Roman, along with his brothers Roland and Russell, entered the Great Wind Manor together with Roson, paying a visit to Lady Ingrid.

Lady Ingrid cherished the hot springs of Great Wind Manor and resided there year-round.

“Seeing all the little will-o’-the-wisps return safely is delightful. It means the eyes of the great dragons of the Grand Duchy aren’t blind,” Lady Ingrid said as she hugged Roland and then came over to embrace Russell. “Come, look at our family scholar and tell your grandmother what’s different about her.”

After the hug, Russell smiled as he examined Lady Ingrid, “Grandmother, with these reading glasses, you look better than before.”

On her face, Lady Ingrid wore a pair of bifocal reading glasses. These were the very glasses Russell had commissioned the jeweler Mondis to make specially for his grandmother, valued at a hundred Gold Coins.

“This is the affection of a little will-o’-the-wisp, of course grandmother looks better wearing it.”

After teasing a bit, Ingrid waved her hand, “Alright, Roman, take the little will-o’-the-wisps back to the troops, and head off to the castle to rest. You all stink.”

“Yes, Mother,” said Baron Roman as he mounted his horse.

“Roland, Russell, come visit when you have time,” Uncle Roson waved his hand.

In haste, the Knight Regiment continued their rapid journey along the Charcoal Dust Road beside the Glowing River and soon arrived at Fluorescent Castle.

Lord Sally, Baron Marcus, and Lord Utreras had led their knights to diverge from the group halfway.

Russell needed to come to the castle to see his mother.

Lady Meryl had been waiting outside the castle gate early, and after embracing Russell, she examined her second son, who was setting foot on the Snowfield battlefield for the first time. Seeing that Russell was unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Exhausted?”

“Not at all, Mother, it’s just that the accommodations weren’t very good and it was especially hard to get a bath, but everything else went smoothly,” Russell replied.

“Then stay in the castle for the night, it’s getting late, and I’ve had the kitchen prepare dinner,” Lady Meryl insisted without letting Russell argue and kept Russell, along with Eric and the others, at Fluorescent Castle.

Seeing that the sun was indeed about to set, Russell didn’t refuse.

“Roland, Russell, I’ve missed you!” As soon as they entered the castle gate, Lola rushed over and threw herself into Roland’s arms.

Roland laughed, “I’ve missed you too, my little Lola.”

When the two separated, Lola then came over to hug Russell. Compared to her enthusiastic embrace with Roland, this hug was a bit more restrained.

Russell’s predecessor was inherently a bit aloof, and the current Russell wasn’t one for physical contact either. Despite being young, Lola could keenly sense this and therefore acted with restraint.

“Russell, is the Snowfield fun?”

“The first day was fun, but every day after that was not,” Russell said with a smile.

“I don’t understand.”

“That’s right, you’re still young.”

“I’m already eleven years old, Russell. You can’t still think of me as a child,” Lola warned with a serious expression.

Roland teased from the side, “Eleven years old and not a child, then what are we knights who have already had our coming of age ceremony? Children?”

“Hmph!” Lola snorted.

Roland continued to tease, “Keep in mind, your teeth haven’t even fully grown in yet, Lola. You have to work much harder to grow up.”

“They have grown in, it’s the last tooth to come in, and it’s already grown out!” Lola bared her teeth, showing that her last tooth had come in and that the previous gap was nearly closed.

“Alright, alright, little grown-up, let me take a bath first, and we’ll share stories of the Snowfield when I get back,” Russell laughed. He was eager to take a bath, as feeling grimy was quite unbearable.

After the bath, dinner began.

It was just a family meal, so everything was very casual. They talked about stories from the Snowfield and shared amusing recent events from Glowing Valley. The dinner came to a close with Baron Roman, Roland, and Russell wolfing down their food.

“Satisfying.” After a full meal, Russell leaned back in his chair and let out a breath without any noble bearing.

Lady Meryl looked at Russell and grabbed a handful of his hair with a smile, “It has gotten a bit long, time to cut it.”

Upon seeing this, Roland feigned dissatisfaction, “Mother, my hair has grown too. Why don’t you tell me to cut mine?”

Lady Meryl rolled her eyes, “Your looks and temperament take after your father, you look the same with any hairstyle. But it’s not the same for Russell. When his hair grows out, he looks more melancholic. Only after cutting it short does he look bright and spirited.”

“Mother, are you saying I’m ugly?” Roland spread his hands.

Lady Meryl exclaimed, “Did I say that?”

Russell chuckled, enjoying the friendly atmosphere in the family, which at least made interacting less oppressive.

Baron Roman, who was tasting the dessert after the meal, said with a straight face, “That isn’t ugly, it’s the way of survival for the Fluorescent Fungi Family—being low-key. On this matter, I must sadly admit, Russell, you did not inherit it.”

Upon hearing this.

Russell nodded in agreement, “I regret it too, Father.”
