Chapter 10 Urgent Problems

Although some of the remaining five guards were blind followers, the seeds of betrayal had been planted and sprouted once.

Although Luo Ning cut him off in time this time, who can guarantee that there won't be a second time?

So for betrayers, try not to use it if you can.

But just kill him?

Luo Ning frowned slightly. After killing these five people, who would drive the car?

You can't expect Chahar to drive five carriages by himself. The other party doesn't have the ability to clone himself, so he can't do it.

Luo Ning thought for a while before speaking: "Since you have realized your mistake, as a benevolent lord, I can let you go once."

This sentence was like a barrel of wine that made the guards intoxicated. Their pleas turned into excited gratitude and vows never to betray.

For this kind of oath, Luo Ning just listens, "Now I order you to pick up your swords and get enough fodder for the horses."

"Yes, yes, sir, let's go now!"

The guards kneeling on the ground hurriedly picked up their weapons and started mowing the grass while talking. Now they were afraid that they would make the master angry if they did it slower.

Luo Ning looked away from this group of people. With the knight McCann, they did not dare to escape even if no one was watching.

This group of people no longer had the courage to gamble on whether they could escape from the professional knights.

"Master, are you going to let them go like this?"

Chahar was indignant on the sidelines. As a guard of the Wushan family, he dared to assassinate his master. He couldn't even think about it.

What he couldn't understand even more was that the baron let them go.

"Kill them all, can you drive five carriages by yourself?" Luo Ning asked with a smile.

"Well……"

Chahar was stunned. He scratched his head and tried his best to think of ways, "Maybe we can use ropes to tie the carriage front and back?"

After saying this, he shrugged his head and said, "But we don't have such a long rope.

"Then let's keep their lives for now."

Luo Ning said: "Chahar, go and pack up the weapons and belongings of the dead people. Don't waste them."

The guards used low-quality iron swords. Although the quality was not good and they could not be sold for much, they were still iron swords and it would be a pity to lose them.

"Okay sir!"

Chahar endured the discomfort caused by the fainting of blood, put away the iron sword, and searched the body.

The baron said not to waste it. These guards should have a few copper coins on them, right?

"McCann, come with me."

Ronin said hello and led Knight McCann back to the road.

Six carriages and one horse were all gnawing grass on the roadside, and they were not lost.

"McCann, tell me your story."

McCann, who followed two steps behind Luo Ning, seemed like a loyal guard. When he heard his master's question, he was a little confused: "Master, what is the story you are talking about?"

"Just like them, call me Sir or Master."

The title "Master" is only used in specific artistic conceptions and situations. Although it is understandable for McCann to call him this way, it is a bit abrupt.

"I want to hear about your experiences, etc., such as where your home is, your life experience, etc."

Luo Ning explained: "This way I will know you better."

McCann was silent, obviously thinking about how to answer this question, but soon he shook his head.

"Sir, I only remember that you are my master, and I will always be loyal to you. As for where my hometown is, I have no relevant memories of my life experiences."

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Oh, that's right~"

He can feel the contractual relationship between himself and McCann. This contract should be the master-servant contract signed with Warcraft. The master and the slave cannot survive.

"Don't you have any memory? I feel like you have quite a lot of combat experience."

"I seem to have an indescribable intuition during the battle," McCann explained: "Oh, by the way, it's not like I have no memory at all. At least I know daily text, communication, and combat movements."

Luo Ning probably understood.

The characters summoned from the seven-day login reward are real with flesh and blood, but they seem to be just-born characters. Apart from their strength and some basic knowledge, the rest is like a blank sheet of paper.

"Welcome, Macon Sallyton!"

Luo Ning's tone was very formal, "From today on, you will be my escort officer, responsible for protecting my safety. At the same time, you are also my instructor and training partner, helping me improve my combat experience."

McCann knelt on one knee and put his right hand on his left chest, "I am willing to serve you, sir!"

"Usually you don't have to be so polite."

Ronin helped the opponent up and checked Knight McCann's sword, shield and leather armor.

These three items appeared together with the summons, and their quality was at least several grades higher than the inferior iron swords used by the guards.

In this way, he didn't have to spend money to buy a set of equipment for McCann.

According to his understanding of the price of goods in this world, each knight's sword for knights costs at least 5 gold coins. Together with the shield and armor, a set costs almost 20 gold coins.

Luo Ning only had less than 180 gold coins in his body, and he spent one-ninth of it at once, which was a big expense.

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he still needed to save money to buy six magic crystals to get the first recharge reward.

“It’s so expensive that I don’t want to spend too much money on prescriptions~”

Now that he has become independent from Wushanbao, it is no longer feasible to rely on emotional support to get money and resource support from Lulans and others.

If you want to make money, you have to think of other ways.

"My lord!"

McKen's voice pulled Roning's thoughts back, "My lord, I suddenly felt my strength increased during the previous battle. What happened?"

This question has been lingering in his mind for a long time, and he couldn't help asking.

"This is a secret between us, remember to keep it secret."

Roning smiled mysteriously, "I can improve your strength, just like now."

While speaking, he used the 20 energy essences he had just obtained from completing the [King of Killing] achievement on McCann, increasing his knight level from 60 to 80.

With only 20 more energy essences, McCann can be promoted to an intermediate knight.

Intermediate knights can release their fighting spirit, and their combat effectiveness is several levels higher than that of primary knights. At that time, Roning's safety can be better guaranteed.

Of course, a territory can only be used by advanced knights.

Only high-level knights can accumulate enough merits to be canonized as noble knights.

It takes Ronin eight or nine days to walk from Wushan City to Shanlin Town. By the time he reaches the territory, McKen will definitely have reached the middle level of the intermediate level.

"My lord, I have become stronger again!"

McKen felt the sudden increase in strength, with an incredible look on his face. He was more and more certain in his heart that the owner who could have such ability was definitely extraordinary!

"Go and adapt to this power. The horse is yours now."

Ronin pointed to the black horse that was not pulling the carriage. "This is a war horse of excellent quality. It is also the best horse I have at present. I hope you can use it well and don't let me down!"

Knights love war horses and love war horses.

Think about Guan Yu, who was sealed with gold in the Three Kingdoms. He didn't ask for anything, but only accepted the Red Hare. It can be seen how much he likes good horses.

McKen is no exception.

He looked at the black horse with a straight look in his eyes, "Thank you for your gift, sir!"

Roning couldn't help laughing as he watched the guard excitedly communicate with the horse.

The price of a high-quality warhorse is hundreds of gold, which is a great fortune for Roning, but he probably doesn't have many opportunities to use it for charging.

It would be a good choice to give it to the guard officer McKen.

And to put it another way, McKen would not abandon him. If Roning really wants to use the black horse, he can do it anytime.

He retracted his gaze and began to think seriously about this betrayal.

After coming to this world, Roning thought that the servants here would not easily betray the nobles.

But after experiencing this betrayal, he understood that no matter which world it is, as long as there are enough benefits and possibilities, those ambitious people will take risks.

Whether they are nobles, civilians, or serfs, they all have ambitions, but the latter two are less likely to bite their masters.

By analogy, Roning thought of Shanlin Town.

Will the people there welcome him as a lord?

No, to be more precise, will the "local tyrants" there welcome him as a lord?

You know, no lord has been willing to go to Shanlin Town for more than ten years, and the family has only arranged a government official to maintain the annual tax revenue.

If this government official stays there for a long time, will he regard Shanlin Town as his own territory?

This is still possible.

Although Roning has not experienced it personally, he has heard of similar things when he was on Earth.

For example, a nanny has worked in a certain family for several years, and subconsciously regards herself as the owner of the house, and then gives orders to the employer.

Who can guarantee that this government official is not such a nanny?

Roning made a bad plan. If the local tyrants in Shanlin Town did not welcome him, and the other party had lived in that remote place for many years, they would definitely have a team.

Then he needed to consider the number of the other party's troops and their combat level.

He was not afraid of any powerful knights there, but any intermediate or senior knight would not choose to be trapped in Shanlin Town without a lord, where there was no future.

Roning was just worried that the other party had too many people.

"I still have too few people under my command."

Even with the light magician rewarded on the 7th day of the 7-day login, Roning only has three trustworthy people under his command, McKen and Chahar.

"We must find a way to solve this problem!"
