Chapter 112 113 Gift
Chapter 112 113. Gift
Ronin walked into Lulans' bedroom.
As the weather gradually cooled, Lulans' physical condition became worse and worse. This was not because his condition worsened. In fact, he felt very uncomfortable every winter.
The fireplace had raised the temperature in the house to a very warm level, but Lulans was still covered with a thick wool blanket, which looked hot.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?"
Ronin was very puzzled. What kind of disease would make a meteor-level knight who had tempered flesh, internal organs and bones and broke the wheel of the blade torture for so many years?
"Same as always, as long as you don't use fighting spirit."
Lulans supported himself and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, "I heard that you are leaving tomorrow?"
Ronin nodded.
Today is the 17th. Two days have passed since Curry gave him three thousand gold coins, and he has been back to Wushan Castle for five days.
"I instructed the carpenters and blacksmiths in the city the day before yesterday, and now they can make curved plows. My men have also recruited a group of craftsmen and apprentices, and it's time for me to go back."
Roning smiled and said, "There are still many things waiting for me to do in Shanlin Town."
"Haha, you are a good lord who cares about the territory."
Lu Lans tilted his head and looked at his grandson sitting diagonally across the bed, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "I have also observed you these days. Since experiencing Selena's affairs and arranging you to be a baron in Shanlin Town, you have changed a lot."
He shook his head, "No, it's like a different person."
Roning's heart skipped a beat, and he kept praising the other party for his accurate judgment of people. He really has become a different person.
Fortunately, although there are extraordinary people here, no one has the ability to directly see through the change of a person's soul.
"I read a passage in a novel that said people may change their original habits and styles after experiencing drastic changes. Hardworking people may suddenly become lazy, motivated people may suddenly become tired, and irritable people may suddenly become quiet, etc. Maybe I am one of them."
"Haha, I think your change is very good!"
Lu Lan Si said with relief: "Child, do you know that if you had behaved like this earlier, I would not deprive you of your inheritance rights so easily."
The heir to the title must have sufficient strength or sufficient ability, both of which can be recognized by the vassal below. Unfortunately, Roning had neither of them before, and Wiggins did too.
Lu Lan Si said this suddenly without any foreshadowing, but Roning would not find it unreasonable.
Because he felt that Rulan Si's attitude towards him had changed a lot since he returned to Wushan Fort this time.
Take the matter of negotiating business in Wushan Fortress that day, it was clearly like an introduction meeting led by Rulan Si.
And in the end, the other party also told Roning that if he had anything to do, he could go to Muma City to find Viscount Marvin.
"Actually, being a mountain baron is pretty good. I have enough time and space to do what I want to do."
Ronin smiled, "As for the succession of the Marquis, there is still my father. Even if he gets old, Bretton is not bad. With his qualifications, I am afraid that he will have caught up with you by that day."
"Bretton's qualifications are indeed good."
Lu Lansi did not deny this, "If there were no such complicated relationships behind him, he would indeed be the most suitable heir. But this child has grown up with her mother since he was a child, and he listens to her very much. And Diane..."
He was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, then shook his head, and the topic turned back to Ronin, "How about it, are you still interested in being the heir now?"
Uh...
Ronin didn't expect the old man to speak so directly. It has only been a few months since he was deprived of his inheritance rights, and he has to restore them again?
Why does it feel a bit like a joke?
"Maybe the king has just approved the document for you to change the heir, and you are changing it now, so you can only..."
Lulansi waved his hand, "The king has no time to take care of these things, he is busy."
Is Lulansi as willful as Wiggins, and does whatever he wants?
Ronin was interrupted and was speechless. Could it be that Lulansi also has a willful side and does whatever he wants?
He shook his head, "I am not interested in the right of succession now, and if you really want to change it, then in the eyes of other nobles, Wushan Castle will have no prestige at all."
Ronin's predecessor had a bad reputation and did not have many supporters. Even so, there were many reasons to abolish him.
Now that the right of succession has fallen on Breton, it is not a matter of a word to change it. He has a powerful grandfather behind him, and if things go wrong, he will start a war.
And at that time, Ronin will be pushed to the front.
So what does Ronin want a right of succession without real power?
Lulans looked at Roning deeply, and nodded slowly after a while.
"It seems that you have really matured, kid! If you had agreed without thinking just now, I would have thought that your steadiness was limited to trivial matters."
Sure enough, Lulans was not as willful as Wiggins.
"Go, bring the box on the desk."
Box?
Roning looked over in surprise. There was indeed a long black wooden box on the desk not far away, which seemed to have been prepared by Lulans a long time ago.
What is it?
He took the long box with curiosity.
"This is a gift for you at the time of parting. Open it." Lu Lan Si said with a smile.
"This is such a surprise!"
As for gifts, Roning never refuses them. On the one hand, he lacks resources, and on the other hand, what should he do if he refuses the kindness of others and makes the gift giver unhappy?
Roning opened the long box with great expectation, and saw six scrolls lying quietly inside.
"What is this?"
He took out the top scroll in confusion and opened it. It was engraved with dense, mysterious and obscure spell patterns. If you look at it carefully, you will feel a sense of effort.
Roning is familiar with this feeling. When he carefully stared at the magic circle that summoned McKen and others, he had this feeling, but it was even stronger at that time.
There is no doubt that this is a spell scroll.
He saw the text description in the lower right corner: Sixth-level magic fire dragon swallowing the sky.
This is not a simple spell scroll, but a sixth-level magic!
Lulans' voice sounded at the right time: "There are five spell scrolls in total, including one spell scroll of the sixth-level fire magic 'Fire Dragon Devouring the Sky', three spell scrolls of the fifth-level earth magic 'Guardian Armor', and one spell scroll of the sixth-level light magic 'Strong Healing'."
Hiss!
Roning took a breath, "This, this is too expensive!"
Roning didn't really feel much about the gifts Lulans had given him before, after all, a few hundred gold coins were nothing to the marquis.
Even if he facilitated the deal of the curved plow, he also had his own credit. After all, if it weren't for the curved plow, he wouldn't have earned these 3,000 gold coins.
But now, the value of these scrolls given by Lulans is too high, even if Roning is so thick-skinned, he feels that he can't afford it.
Let's not talk about anything else, just say that the price of this powerful healing spell scroll is 6,000 gold coins, which was how Wiggins was able to save his life.
The total value of these five spell scrolls is probably tens of thousands of gold coins.
No matter how rich Lu Lan Si is, he will not take out so many precious spell scrolls at once to give to others.
"These things are of no value to an old man like me, and I have no chance to use them since I live in Wushan Castle all year round. Instead of wasting them, I might as well give them to you. Maybe they can be of some use."
Lu Lan Si said seriously: "I am very optimistic about you, child. Even if you cannot inherit the title of Marquis of Wushan Territory in the future, I believe that with your wisdom and ability, you can still become an excellent lord!"
Such an evaluation is quite high.
Luo Ning tightened his hand holding the scroll. He didn't expect that he would be moved.
At this moment, he felt the difficulty of the old man in front of him.
A meteor-level strong man, who has strength but can't even use his fighting spirit;
A Marquis family, but can't select qualified heirs in all aspects, this is a painful but helpless thing for Lu Lan Si.
This family, this castle, this territory, probably depends on Rulans to support it. Once he dies, the current situation is likely to fall apart.
The kingdom and the nobles have never lacked disputes and wars.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Ronin said sincerely: "I will use it well and will not let you down!"
"Haha, don't use it."
Lulansi smiled and shook his head: "Not everyone can use the spell scroll. It consumes extraordinary power and a certain amount of mental power to trigger it."
"You can't do it. You are too weak! You have neither fighting spirit nor magic power. It's okay to use two or three level spell scrolls. If you force these few, it will only drain your life."
He instructed: "Let your knight McKen use it. Senior knights can barely use five or six level spell scrolls, but the consumption is also very large. Don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Especially the powerful healing scroll. There is only this one in the entire Wushan Castle. Use it where you think it is most valuable."
Ronin couldn't help looking at the scroll in the box. He didn't expect that the only powerful healing spell was given to him. How much does Lulansi value him?
What Lulansi didn't know was that Ronin was already a dual-professional high-level extraordinary person. He could use these scrolls himself.
Luo Ning listened to such advice very seriously, and felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
Sometimes you are not afraid of others being bad to you, but you are afraid of others being too good to you.
"Okay, I have said everything I should say, you go."
Lu Lans waved his hand and lay down again, "I also want to rest."
Lu Ning took a deep breath, put away the long box and bowed deeply, "Please take care of yourself, I will come to see you again at the end of December!"
There are things to do in the afternoon and evening, so the update in the evening may be a little later
