Chapter 1 1 Deprived of Inheritance Rights as Soon as I Crossed Over

Chapter 1 Deprived of inheritance right after crossing

In early August in Wushan Territory, the scorching sun was baking the earth, so hot that even the air became distorted.

Roning, however, wore strict aristocratic clothing and walked along the smooth road paved with bluestone blocks to the highest point of the manor - Wushan Fortress.

More than ten minutes ago, he was still a game planner who was working overtime all night to write a plan. Unexpectedly, he died suddenly and was reborn in the body of a noble child from another world.

He didn't even have time to digest the memory of his previous life, and was monitored by the guards to Wushan Fortress to face a trial against him.

Fortunately, the road was long, so Roning had time to digest some of his previous life's memories and figure out his current situation.

It turned out that this was an extraordinary world that was similar to the early Middle Ages on Earth, but in fact it had fighting spirit and magic.

The predecessor he crossed over was named "Roning Wushan", the eldest grandson of the Wushan Marquis family, and had the right to inherit the title of Marquis.

But such a person who grew up in a top noble family, not only did not master any kind of extraordinary power, but also lingered in banquets and dances, indulged in wine and women, and did not make any achievements.

Just the day before yesterday at the banquet, the predecessor got drunk and went to bed with a woman.

No one expected that the woman would commit suicide the next day, and wrote a suicide note accusing the predecessor, which became known to everyone for a while.

In theory, many nobles have messy private lives, and having sex with a woman at a banquet is not a big deal.

Even if an ordinary woman commits suicide, it is not a big deal.

But the bad thing is that this woman's identity is very unusual. She is the border earl of Wushanling and the youngest granddaughter of Earl Orson Hyde.

Today's Wushanling is very unstable due to internal and external troubles, and this border earl not only has a prosperous family, but also has the important task of maintaining border security.

This led to the fact that although this border earl was a vassal of the marquis, once the relationship became strained, he would contribute less or even no effort in some major events, which would cause immeasurable damage to Wushan Territory.

For this reason, the father of the predecessor who had just returned from the battle gave the predecessor a punch when he heard about this. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect to send him to heaven directly.

Recalling this, Luo Ning's heart became more and more worried and uneasy.

Will the Wushan Marquisate sacrifice him for the stability of the territory and the family?

It is still very likely to think about it!

After all, the mother of the predecessor died early, his father didn't love him, his grandfather didn't love him, and there was no force behind him to support him. Although his political status was high, his situation was very embarrassing.

"Why did I encounter such a difficult thing as soon as I crossed over?"

Luo Ning felt helpless. He turned his head and looked around. The group of guards following him completely dispelled his idea of ​​"whether he could slip away".

Alas...

The Marquisate is very large, with countless landscapes such as rockery, fountains, and flowers, which show the luxury and heritage of the Wushan family everywhere.

Going up the wide stairs, a huge military fortress built entirely of white jade stood on the top of the hill, majestic yet heavy.

This is Wushan Fortress.

Roning's heart was shocked by this scene for only one or two seconds, and then it was replaced by anxiety.

He was about to face not only his father, Earl Wiggins, who had sent his predecessor to the west with one punch, but also the representatives of the Hyde family who came to his house angrily to ask for an explanation.

Both groups wanted to vent their anger on him. Poor little newbie who just crossed over, how could he bear such great anger?

"Heaven and earth, please show up the legendary golden finger and save your master!"

As a fan of games and novels, he knew that every crosser had a golden finger.

In desperation, he could only pray for this.

Perhaps in response to his call, a line of words did flash in his sight:

[Activate after obtaining the title]

When Roning saw this line of words, he was very happy. He did have a golden finger.

But after reading the content of this line, the smile on his face froze. This golden finger actually needs to be activated!

"How can a title... be so easy to obtain?"

Although his predecessor had the right of inheritance, he had to wait for his grandfather to die first, and then wait for his father to die before he could inherit the title.

To put it another way, after he graduated from the Supernormal Academy, his father might confer him the title of Viscount or Baron, but that would be next year, and there was still a year to go.

Moreover, Roning not only had to face Wiggins's anger, but also the risk of being "sacrificed". How could he get a title?

"I have a golden finger but I can't activate it. It's really unlucky to open the door for bad luck. I'm so unlucky!"

He really... couldn't say anything.

"Master Roning, the adults are waiting for you inside!"

After the guards sent Roning to the gate of the fortress, they stood on both sides. The captain made a gesture of invitation, indicating Roning to go in alone.

Standing under the five-meter-high gate of the fortress, Ronin felt his insignificance. He looked inside and could vaguely see several figures at the end dozens of meters away.

Heavy and depressing.

"What is coming cannot be avoided!"

He took a deep breath and then walked inside.

There were no guards standing on both sides of the corridor in the castle hall. It seemed that they did not want the quarrel inside to be spread.

"Things may not be as bad as imagined."

Ronin comforted himself and soon came to the end. He saw the five people here clearly.

On the jade high seat in front of him sat an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.

Seeing him, Ronin's heartbeat quickened.

This old man was the founder of this castle, the master of Wushan Territory, the powerful Meteor Knight, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Alduin, Lulans Wushan.

Ronin didn't expect that this matter would even alarm the old Marquis who had not been involved in politics for more than ten years. It seemed that even the Marquis had to pay attention to the relationship with the Hyde family.

On the right side of the old Marquis stood a burly, bearded, rough middle-aged man.

He was the second son of Marquis Lulans, the Earl of Wushan City, the future heir of Wushan Territory, and Ronin's father, Wiggins Wushan.

As the second son of the old Marquis, Wiggins should not have the right to inherit the title. It was his turn because his elder brother Grams died in battle thirty years ago, but he was obviously not ready.

Wiggins, 52, is still only a senior knight. He is weak and unclear-minded. He cannot suppress the restless vassals in this chaotic era.

As the eldest son of Wiggins, the second heir of Wushan Territory in the future is an ordinary person who does not even have extraordinary power.

Both heirs are of this kind. The outside world will naturally think that after the old marquis dies, Wushan Marquis Territory will gradually fall apart.

This is the root of the instability of Wushan Territory.

Roning glanced at the three people on the other side. They were all wearing armor and carrying swords. They exuded a strong aura, especially the golden-haired man in the middle, which made Roning very uneasy.

If he was not mistaken, this man was the knight who followed the Border Earl - Nigan Golden Mad Lion, a peak gold-level knight, who was only one step away from matching the old marquis in combat power.

Seeing Roning coming, the five people in the hall had different expressions.

The old marquis on the high seat remained calm, neither angry nor sad;

The three knight representatives snorted coldly, glaring with hatred, and their eyes were murderous;

Only Wiggins roared angrily: "Damn it, kneel down!"

Ronin was startled by the sudden roar. Are the high-level knights in the other world so loud?

Considering the punch that killed his predecessor, he could only surrender and kneel in the middle of the hall.

"Hehe~"

Just then, a sneer came from above, and the representative of the Hyde family, the gold-level knight Nigan Golden Lion, glanced at Wiggins with disdain.

"The real master has arrived, and the Earl of Wushan City doesn't need to play these fake things in front of us. Miss Selina died because of Ronin, and the Wushan family must give our Hyde family a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"

"Yes!"

The knight next to him echoed: "And this time, the encirclement and suppression of the Black Gold Brotherhood was caused by your wrong command, which led to the death of Baron Slant. You must pay the price for your mistake!"

"The eldest grandson and the youngest granddaughter of the Hyde family both died because of your Wushan family. If this matter cannot be properly handled, it will only damage the friendship between our two families!"

Based on the principle of "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal", the three knights represented by Knight Nigan serve Earl Hyde as their leader. They don't give Wiggins any face at all, and they directly spray him, as if they will fight without paying the price.

In general, Wiggins will spray back louder in this situation.

But at this moment, he can't refute it, because in this war to encircle and suppress the thieves, he did make a mistake in command.

He was so angry that his face turned red, and he had no place to vent his anger. He could only roar at Roning again: "Damn it!"

Roning's heart sank to the bottom.

He didn't expect that two grandchildren of the Hyde family died at once. One granddaughter was fine, but even the eldest grandson who had the right of inheritance died unexpectedly in the war.

And it was the fault of the father of the predecessor.

"Will this be blamed on me too?"

Roning felt more and more uneasy. He was also the eldest grandson. Wouldn't he use his life to pay for the life of that Slant?

The silent, oppressive, and suffocating atmosphere made Roning breathe rapidly. He was just a newcomer in society who had just graduated from school. How could he have experienced such a battle?

But he knew that the person who decided whether he could be safe was not his father, nor the three representatives of the Hyde family, but Lulans Wushan who had been sitting on the high seat without saying a word.

The old marquis once trained his predecessor as a successor-after all, his son was useless, and he could only pin his hopes of revitalizing the family on the eldest grandson.

But his predecessor's performance disappointed him, especially after he still hadn't mastered supernatural powers in the past two years.

"Although war is inevitable, I am very sad about the death of Baron Slant. He was a brave child!"

On the high seat, the old marquis slowly opened his eyes and finally spoke.

"Please ask Sir Negan to convey my grief and apology to Orson and Barrington."

Hearing this, Negan stood up and saluted with one hand on his chest. It can be seen that his attitude towards Wiggins is completely different from that towards Marquis Rulans.

"Negan will definitely convey it, but..."

The old marquis raised his hand, sighed heavily, and interrupted the other party.

"Speaking of which, Wushan and Hyde are still relatives, but I didn't expect such two unfortunate things to happen. Wiggins was at fault for Slant's death in battle, and we should compensate him, but Selina..."

At this point, he glanced at his grandson kneeling on the ground, and Ronin's heart was also in his throat at this moment.

Whether he can survive depends on the next sentence.

"The child Selena committed suicide, not directly at the hands of Ronin."

After hearing this, Luo Ning finally felt relieved.

With the words of the old Marquis, he knew that his life was finally saved.

As long as you can survive, that's okay.

But on the other side, Negan and the other three were anxious.

"Sir, although Miss Selina did not die directly in the hands of Luo Ning, she was insulted by him and died. You can't just say this!"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and said with tears: "This parchment was written by Miss Selina herself. It records everything that happened after she was forcibly pulled into the room by Luo Ning! If this If there is no punishment, then we..."

"Don't worry."

Marquis Rulans interrupted Negan again.

"I just said that Selina did not die directly at the hands of Luo Ning, so I will not agree to your request for Luo Ning to pay for her life. But I did not say that I will not give an explanation to the Hyde family."

After hearing this, Negan, who was about to argue, stopped talking.

In fact, he also knew that it was impossible to directly ask the eldest grandson of the Marquis Mansion to pay for his life, but only in this way could they get what they wanted.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Lansi slowly spoke:

"Slant's death in battle caused the Hyde family to lose an outstanding eldest grandson. And his death and Selina's death can all be attributed to my Wushan family, so I will make a promise here."

Luo Ning held his breath and listened carefully to the next words. His fate would depend on how the old man sitting on the seat arranged it.

"I can commit."

Marquis of Rulans said solemnly: "In the future, in the third generation, my youngest grandson, Brayton Oshan, the son of Wiggins and Diane, will inherit the position of Marquis of Oshan Territory. As for Luo Ning... …”

He paused and glanced at Luo Ning, who had his head lowered, "Deprive Luo Ning Wushan of his inheritance rights!"

Although there is an inheritance system such as the eldest son and the eldest grandson, it can be abolished as long as they make a fatal mistake.

Luo Ning made a fatal mistake now, or he fell into a whirlpool of fatal mistakes.

As for depriving Luo Ning of his inheritance rights, can the relationship be improved? Even if an explanation is given?

that's for sure.

Because the mother of Brayton, who succeeded Ronin, had a surname of "Hyde", and she was the daughter of Orson Hyde.

In other words, Breton is the grandson of the border earl.

Luo Ning's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and he seemed to understand something at this moment.

Could it be that Selina committed suicide to deprive him of his inheritance and pass it on to his half-brother Brayton?

The calculation behind this is really insidious.

"No, I have to find a way to leave the center of this vortex!"
