"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. Blackflame Plains hadn't fully expanded yet, and it was difficult to access due to the surrounding snowmelt. 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 Blackflame 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.
