Chapter 102 103. Questions and Answers

Ronin had just settled down and was about to take a rest while waiting for the dinner, but he didn't expect the old butler to send someone to bring the news that Lu Lans had summoned him.

He came to Wushanbao this time mainly to see Lu Lans, so he went to the backyard without stopping.

"Mr. Most, long time no see."

At the door of the backyard, Ronin saw the old butler standing there, seemingly waiting for his arrival, so he went up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Long time no see, Master Ronin. You seem to have grown taller and become more mature than before you left last time!"

He praised with a smile, "The master is very impressed with your conquest of the Savage Tribe!"

Ronin's heart moved. After contacting Hooker of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce that day, he knew that the news of conquering the Savage Tribe would spread, but he didn't expect it to reach Wushanbao so quickly.

"The savage tribe has long lost the ability to resist head-on after years of destruction. I just happened to find the exact location of their camp."

Ronin tried to reduce the difficulty of this matter: "I believe that any noble with two or three knights can conquer them."

"You are too modest."

Most made a gesture of invitation, "The master is in the back mountain, I will take you there."

Back mountain?

Ronin showed a surprised look.

The back mountain of Wushan Castle is not small, and the environment is indeed quiet, but few people usually go there, even Wiggins will not easily set foot there.

Because Lulans's mount, the fifth-level magic beast, Thunder Chaser, lives in the back mountain.

Although it is a contracted magic beast and will not easily attack people in the castle, Thunder Chaser will show hostility to people who set foot on its territory when it is in a bad mood, which makes people feel scared.

Ronin did not expect Lulans to arrange the place to summon him in the back mountain.

"Then please lead the way."

The two of them went into the back mountain along the bluestone road, one in front and one behind.

Although his predecessor had lived here for more than ten years, he had not come to the back mountain many times. As he walked and looked around, Roning felt as if he was taking a walk in a forest park.

A luxurious house was built halfway up the back mountain. This was where the Thunder Wind Chaser lived.

Roning approached and carefully observed the house. There were reliefs, shining agates, gems, and magic crystal lamps hanging on it.

It seemed that the house he lived in in Shanlin Town was not even as good as the house of the Warcraft.

"You are here."

Lu Lans sat on a bench outside the house, leaning on a cane with his back to the mountain, without turning his head.

Most bowed slightly, then turned around and walked down the mountain.

Luo Ning walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Grandpa, long time no see."

Lu Lan Si nodded slightly, and looked Luo Ning up and down at the same time, "Compared with the last time, you have grown a lot taller and more mature."

"Most just said that to me."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "It seems that I have indeed changed a little."

Not a little, but a lot, Lu Lan Si almost couldn't recognize me.

It's not about appearance, but about speech and behavior.

The previous Luo Ning was still like a child at the age of seventeen. He only obeyed his discipline verbally in person, and forgot it completely when he turned around, which made people feel helpless.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, he just feels that the current Luo Ning looks reassuring.

"I heard that you conquered three wild tribes."

Lu Lan Si pointed to the bench opposite and motioned Luo Ning to sit down, "Come, tell me about your conquest of them."

Lu Ning naturally didn't mind telling a story, which could get closer to the old marquis.

But when he was telling the story, he concealed something.

First of all, he certainly couldn't talk about sericulture and ceramics, after all, the two pieces of land had not really become his property.

Secondly, he only vaguely mentioned his own strength. After all, it was too incredible to say that he had become a dual-professional high-level extraordinary person from an ordinary person in just two months.

Roning had to put as much credit as possible on McKen, saying that McKen was a high-level knight with strong combat power.

As for Commander Ridar, he was directly hidden by Roning and didn't say it.

"McKen?"

Lu Lans was surprised, "Is it the knight who had a contact with Wiggins when you came back with the betrayer that day? I thought he was just a junior knight."

"McKen has good qualifications, but he lacks opportunities to show them."

Roning explained, "He broke through shortly after arriving in Shanlin Town."

Lu Lans nodded silently, "Although you didn't do much in the battle, it can be seen that you have good insights in command, otherwise you wouldn't have taken down three tribes in less than a month."

Command requires intelligence acquisition ability, intelligence analysis ability, and combat mission arrangement ability. From these three points of view, Roning is much better than Wiggins.

Lu Lans sighed. If he had known that his grandson had the ability to command, he should have sent him to the Knights to train instead of studying at Wushan Supernatural Academy.

"Grandpa, you praised me too much."

Roning shook his head. "In fact, the defense of the Savage Tribe is too weak. They don't even have a sentry tower. They are simply vulnerable."

"Haha, you are much more modest than before."

After the laughter, there was a brief silence between the grandfather and grandson. They haven't sat down to communicate like this for a long time.

"What are you going to do about those three tribes?"

Here it comes. Finally, the topic is brought to the territory.

Luo Ning was just thinking about how to bring up this topic, but he didn't expect Lulans to take the initiative to mention it.

He thought for a while and decided to be bold.

"Grandpa, a total of 1,051 people from these three savage tribes have been accepted by me. The extraordinary ones who disobeyed have been killed by me. The remaining extraordinary people have chosen to be loyal to me, and the others have worked for me as slaves."

Lu Lansi's eyes flashed. Luo Ning said this lightly, but he heard the latter's attitude towards the enemy. At least he did not kill everyone willfully. He knew how to absorb and strengthen, which was sometimes a good thing.

"Although I can transfer all these prisoners to live in Shanlin Town, the Savage Tribe has cultivated a lot of fields over the years, and I don't want to give up."

Ronin paused, looked directly at Lulans, and stated his purpose: "So I hope, grandpa, that you can give me the territory where these three tribes are located and include it within the territory of Shanlin Town."

He added: "By the way, I also discovered a large tribe that threatens Shanlin Town. It's called the 'Black Collar Tribe'. After I conquer it, I hope to include it in my territory."

From the beginning of this conversation, Luo Ning obtained a lot of information.

First, the location of the conversation, then the process of the other party asking him how he conquered the savage tribe, and his final comments, etc. All of this shows that Luo Ning's previous conjecture is likely to be correct——

He still has a certain status in Rulans' heart.

That's why Luo Ning spoke out his purpose like a lion. Even if the other party doesn't allow him, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, there were only two people on this mountain, he and Lulans, so no one would spread the word about his ambition.

Rulans looked at his grandson seriously, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.

"Nobles love to expand their territory. I didn't expect that you would get into this hobby so quickly after becoming Baron of Hillwood Town for less than three months."

He shook his head when he said this, "But in order to allocate these territories to you, conquering the savage tribe alone is not enough."

He said: "In the war in August, we recaptured seven castles and forced back the Black Gold Brotherhood. However, due to your father's failure in command and the mistakes you made, five of the castles were used as bargaining chips to compensate For the Hyde family, the other party will appoint the lord, and the remaining two will be given to the knights who are loyal to our family. "

Luo Ning's heart sank. Unexpectedly, the Hyde family took away five castles in that incident, causing great losses.

"There are many knights with greater military exploits than you, but they did not get fiefs."

Lulans explained seriously, "When I asked you to be the baron of Shanlin Town, I took into consideration that the place was far away, remote, had little development value, and was full of dangers. That's why no one raised any objections. If I expand the territory for you again, , It’s hard to explain to the outside world.”

Although the big nobles are powerful, they do not do everything according to their temper. Otherwise, it would not be good for the knights and small nobles who are loyal to them to have opinions, not to mention that the current situation of Wushan Castle is not very good.

Luo Ning understands this truth.

But he also had second-hand preparations, "So Grandpa, I wonder if I can temporarily run these four savage tribes for you?"

If you can't include it, then it's not a bad idea to run it as an escrow.

"Can!"

Rulans laughed, and that was his original intention, "As an operator, you need to pay a certain number of gold coins to Wushanbao every year."

"ah?"

Luo Ning looked bitter, "You know, I am very poor, and I can hardly afford to support the extraordinary people in my territory!"

"Hahaha~"

Lulans smiled and shook his head, "Don't lie to me. You can make so many spell scrolls in a month and earn hundreds of gold coins by selling them. Paying a little operating fee is nothing to you."

He raised a finger and said, "10 gold coins per tribe, 30 gold coins per year. Grandpa, I didn't bully you, did I?"

Luo Ning was relieved when he heard this. He thought the other party would ask for a lot, but at first glance, this price was a genuine friendship price.

"No, grandpa, it's 40 gold coins!"

He emphasized: "There is also a black-collar tribe, and I plan to capture it around spring plowing next year!"

Lulans shook his head, "I'm afraid you have no chance."

Um?

The smile on Luo Ning's face disappeared, and he looked suspicious: "Why do you say that?"

"Baron Leisen of the Thain Territory asked his son Torbreton to bring a letter, saying that the Thain Territory had finally defeated the enemy after a fierce battle a month ago, with the loss of hundreds of soldiers and several professional knights. The most powerful black-collared savage tribe in Wubei Woodland has been captured."

Lulans took out the parchment from his arms, threw it lightly and fell into Ronin's hand.

"Similar to you, Baron Leisen also wants to add the black-collar tribe to his territory."
