Glowing Territory, Thunderflame Territory.
The names for the future territories of the Fluorescent Fungi Family had been decided; the joyous discussions celebrated Russell's promotion to Grand Scholar, and the banquet concluded accordingly.
For others.
The promotion to Grand Scholar naturally deserved a grand celebration, but as Russell was already a Baron, the Grand Scholar title was just icing on the cake. With the ice age approaching, the celebration was muted to a simple family dinner.
After the banquet, the ladies gathered to play cards.
The men, led by Baron Roman, retreated to the study to continue drinking and discussed state affairs.
"Russell, you said a few days ago that you were ready to initiate the Third-layer; I even went to Red Castle and returned, so why haven't you started?" Baron Roman asked. It was now December, and Russell was still a Second-layer senior Phantom Beast Knight.
