Chapter 106 107 We Are Not Enemies

Chapter 106 We are not enemies

After the dinner, Roning pushed Wiggins back to the latter's study, which was also a superficial work.

For Roning, he had no family feelings for the people of Wushan Castle.

But as he said, the blood of the Wushan family flows in his body, which he can neither change nor deny. His bond with the Wushan family will not be broken, and this relationship needs to be maintained.

In the study, Roning's conversation with Wiggins did not last too long, and neither of them seemed to have much to talk about.

Roning took the opportunity to mention that he wanted to recruit some craftsmen in Wushan City, and that he wanted to move to Shanlin Town with the families of the previous batch of guards at the end of the year.

I don't know whether it was because Roning conquered the wild tribe and fulfilled Wiggins's wish, or because he promised to lead the army on behalf of the Wushan family, Wiggins was very polite and agreed to all these requests.

After a brief exchange, Roning left Wiggins' study.

Outside the study, Bretton leaned against the wall, and the magic crystal lamp in the corridor made his figure leave a long shadow on the ground.

As a teenager of only thirteen years old, Bretton was about sixty meters tall and did not look like a child.

"Have you finished talking with your father, brother?"

Roning nodded, "Why, waiting for me?"

"Yes!"

Bretton smiled and said, "I have a lot to say to you."

The two brothers had communicated in the past, but they were not close, mainly because their lifestyles were different.

The predecessor liked to be free and easy and enjoy himself everywhere;

Bretton put most of his energy into cultivation and learning, which is why he activated the fighting spirit seed at the age of thirteen and became a professional knight.

If placed on Earth, the predecessor would be a rich second generation who lay flat, enjoys himself, and is unlearned, while Bretton is a potential stock full of energy and struggle.

The current situation is that the rich second generation has collapsed, and the potential stock has taken over.

The two found a room at random, and the servants immediately held candles to illuminate the room.

Luo Ning waited quietly, he wanted to see what his brother, who was bringing him a glass of juice, wanted to say.

"Actually, I am very grateful that you can give up the inheritance rights."

Bretton handed a glass of juice to Luo Ning, and took a sip of the juice from the glass in his other hand.

"Because I always feel that our Wushan family needs a strong successor. Please forgive me for being blunt, my father can't do it, and neither can you, brother."

Luo Ning didn't know what the other party was going to say next. Was he going to play a trick of a villain in front of him?

"You know, it's not that I want to give up the inheritance rights, but grandpa thinks you are more suitable."

Luo Ning raised the glass and took a sip, and smiled: "Actually, this is good. You awakened the Dou Qi seed at the age of thirteen. As long as you practice well, you may be able to catch up with grandpa's footsteps and become a meteor-level knight at the age of thirty."

"You are indeed more suitable to lead the Wushan family and continue the glory of the past!"

Bretton was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Ning to be so sure of him, which blocked what he was about to say.

But he was not angry. On the contrary, there was light in his eyes. "Really? Brother, do you really think so?"

Ronin's tone was unquestionable. "Of course, I always think so!"

"Thank you!"

Breton's smile became even bigger. "I was worried that grandpa would give me the inheritance rights and make you hate me, but I'm glad that you didn't."

Ronin certainly didn't.

If he had lived in this world for more than ten years and was deprived of the inheritance rights, he might hate Breton.

But he was deprived of the inheritance rights on the day he crossed over. The inheritance rights were more like something irrelevant to him, and he didn't feel deeply.

As the saying goes, how can you talk about losing without loving?

In comparison, if something you have had is taken away, such as taking away Ronin's title of Baron of Shanlin Town, he will definitely not be willing to accept it.

"There are many people outside who say that I will suppress you, persecute you, or even kill you after I get the inheritance rights."

Breton's tone was disdainful, his eyes were serious, and he stared at Ronin's eyes.

"We are from Wushan, we have the same silver hair and black pupils, we are brothers! How could I possibly attack you? They underestimate me!"

For a moment, Roning couldn't figure out what the little guy wanted to say.

He could only agree: "The mouth is on other people's bodies, we can't control it."

"You're right!"

Breton laughed, "In addition to talking about this matter, I have another thing I need your help with."

Roning raised his eyebrows, "You say."

Breton pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that your Shanlin Town has a small population. Even if the population of the three savage tribes is included, it is estimated that there are only two or three thousand people. Such a small number of people is not enough to develop Shanlin Town, so how about giving me the land of those savage tribes?"

"Why, you still have the mood to manage those mountains?"

Roning frowned slightly. These people don't know the value of sericulture and ceramics. Why do they come to ask for these lands one by one?

Are they just enclosures for themselves?

"Training and practicing every day take up most of my time, so how can I have time for this?"

Breton shook his head, "You know, there are many swamps in the Sean Territory, and there is a lack of good land for growing food. If I can use the land of those wild tribes, development will be faster, and it will bring me greater help in the future."

"So I'm going to let Baron Rayson run those places."

Well, in the end, Thain was brought in. It seems that their relationship is really good, and they can actually let Brayton serve as a lobbyist.

"But grandpa has the final say over the management rights of the land, right?"

Ronin looked Brayton up and down, meaning you mean what you say?

Brayton patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, grandpa doesn't care about such trivial matters. He will only leave it to father to decide. I will just talk to father when the time comes."

Indeed, many government affairs in the Wushan Territory were left to Wiggins to handle, and Rulans rarely interfered.

Luo Ning thought for a while, but shook his head, "Brayton, I'm afraid you're late on this matter. I have already asked Grandpa for the management rights of the three pieces of land, and he also agreed to let me manage it."

Brayton was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ronin to move so quickly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you tell Grandpa, it won't be a problem to transfer the management rights to Thain Territory. Then it will be up to me to make the decision and let Baron Leisen pay you at least five hundred gold coins!"

Luo Ning had a faint smile on his face and shook his head.

I just complimented Brayton because he said nice words for free. Now when it comes to specific interests, he can't follow the other person's wishes.

"I'm sorry, I'm not prepared to transfer this right. Besides, who can guarantee that the places I run will be worse than those run by Raisen in Thain?"

Brayton frowned slightly, "But you only have so many people. How can you have the manpower to run such a big place? Or do you think five hundred gold coins are not enough? If so, I can help you talk to me."

Luo Ning saw hesitation and a flash of confusion from the other party's expression. Perhaps the other party did not expect Luo Ning to refuse, so he did not prepare a corresponding plan?

He was ready to test it out to see if Brayton was targeting him.

"Brayton, you just said that we are brothers."

Luo Ning looked directly at the other person, "Then why are you willing to help an outsider persuade me to give up what should be mine?"

"I……"

Brayton suddenly felt that the Luoning in front of him was so strange, completely different from before. The aura coming from him made him a little overwhelmed.

"Baron Leisen asked his son, my classmate Moravi, to let me talk to you."

He explained: "Furthermore, I also think what the other party said makes sense. After all, Thain has enough manpower to develop those places quickly and bring more tax revenue to our Wushan family."

Luo Ning's eyes softened a lot.

After all, Brayton is still just a thirteen-year-old boy. Although he usually displays confidence and calmness, it is all the self-confidence brought by his talent cultivation, and there is nothing special in other aspects.

This is like a top student who passed mathematics, physics and chemistry, but failed miserably in terms of physical fitness.

Brayton is obviously not very good at negotiating and acting as a lobbyist, and his personality does not seem to be strong enough.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to solve the shortage of manpower problem you mentioned."

Luo Ning said: "I guarantee that my management will be better than his!"

"Okay, okay..."

Brayton spread his hands and said, "I just said that I am not suitable to be a lobbyist. Negotiating with people is much more tiring than practicing."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "I can see it."

The atmosphere in the small room softened.

Brayton said helplessly: "My mother told me that many nobles have dissatisfaction with Wushan Castle. Let me win more nobles to our side. Baron Leisen of Thain has recently become a bronze knight, so we can get closer. relation."

Luo Ning's heart moved and he wrote these words down.

In his impression, Baron Leisen was just a high-ranking knight, and he did not expect to make a breakthrough recently.

"Diana is right."

Luo Ning nodded in approval, "But no matter how much you win over Leisen, he is still an outsider, and I am your brother. Although our mothers are different, as you just said, we both belong to Wushan."

"Yes, you are right, brother!"

It seemed that the topic had opened up, and Brayton simply became casual. He pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Now that my father is dying, and grandpa's physical condition is getting worse and worse, in the near future there will only be you and me in the Wushan family."

Brayton said sincerely: "I hope you can continue the courage you had when you conquered the savage tribe and become a powerful lord. Together, we can rebuild the family's past glory!"
