"You've already become a Third-layer high Phantom Beast Knight?" Mel asked in surprise in his independent little castle.
"Yes," Russell replied indifferently, "It wasn't very difficult."
"Not difficult?" Mel exclaimed, "I and Mora have not yet achieved perfect synchrony of spirit!"
Mora was his Contracted Phantom Beast-Iron Feathered Grey Crane.
After saying that, Mel again sighed admiringly, "No wonder everyone thinks that if the Shadowflame Dragon were to choose a Knight, you would definitely be the first choice... Now with the Frost Giants and Snow Giants closing in from all sides, maybe the Dragon will choose you as its Knight one day."
"That's unlikely," Russell shook his head.
Through his face-to-face interactions with the Shadowflame Dragon, he could feel that the Dragon would rather sacrifice itself and leave behind a volcanic remnant than choose him as its Knight.
The pride of the Dragon was evident.
