Chapter 225 Letters and Intelligence

Buzz~

In front of the cave in the Weird Valley, the ground trembled, and several earth walls rose quickly, completely sealing the entrance of the cave.

Carlos, who was taking a nap not far away, looked at the place where he had been imprisoned for so many years and finally closed it. He couldn't help but feel excited.

When he was in the cave yesterday, Ronin asked him if he wanted to give this underground palace to Carlos as a nest, but he refused without hesitation.

This place is a shadow in his dragon life. He would rather be exposed to the wind and rain outside than go in again.

After sealing the entrance of the cave, the group officially returned, ending this special mission of eight or nine days.

Ronin did not go with the team.

After a night's rest and two meals of roasted wild boar to replenish his physical strength, Carlos's condition recovered a little. Ronin sat on the dragon's back and flew all the way back to Shanlin Town.

He watched the mountains and rivers change rapidly under his eyes, and he felt refreshed for a while.

When they came, they shuttled through the dense forest and spent nearly five days to reach the outside of the Weird Valley.

Now sitting on the dragon's back, Roning could vaguely see the direction of the town in a moment.

"That's the Wushan Magical Beast Mountain Range."

Roning pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "There are many magic beasts there. You can find food there when you are hungry."

Carlos cheered happily, and his voice penetrated the clouds and reached below, startling the birds to fly up.

Its frost and fire wings can finally fly freely in the sky and earth, and it can finally choose its own food!

Roning continued to make other instructions, such as not eating people, trying to avoid high-level magic beasts, etc.

At the same time, he also considered looking for a place to the west of Shanlin Town as a dragon's nest.

High-level magic beasts have their own territories, not to mention dragons.

At that time, relying on the dragon's might, it may be able to deter the group of magic beasts and make them dare not easily invade Shanlin Town.

In this way, McKen and others don't have to lead the team to patrol the Black Iron Forest area every now and then, and don't have to worry about the people working in the ironwood workshop being attacked by monsters all day long.

Soon, a man and a dragon landed on the hillside.

"Okay, remember my instructions, don't cause me trouble."

He patted Carlos's head, "I will summon you if there is something, now, go by yourself."

"Okay master!"

Carlos couldn't wait to spread his wings, flew into the air in a gust of wind, and soon disappeared.

Looking at that direction, Carlos should be going to the Wushan Monster Mountain Range.

"It looks like he's going to have a good meal."

Roning smiled and shook his head. Not long after going down the hill, he reached the mountain road.

This road connects Shanlin Town and Qingzhu Village.

Last winter, because Roning encouraged the people to develop trees for winter, a long road had been opened here.

And now the felling is still going on, it is estimated that it will reach Qingzhu Village by the end of the year.

"It's the Lord!"

"Come and meet the Lord!"

When Roning passed a wheat field, the people working in the field noticed him.

Although the quality of life of the people in Shanlin Town has not improved significantly, they at least have a relatively stable living environment compared to the past.

The policies issued by Shanlin Castle were conveyed by the village chiefs of each village, so that every citizen had a clear understanding.

They knew what their tasks were, and they also knew what they would get after paying.

In view of the Lord's kindness, generosity, and repeated promises, they were willing to believe in the Lord's policies.

If nothing else, they were very happy to implement the recently issued policy on pregnant women.

While expanding the family population, they could also apply for 300 kilograms of grain and other rights from the Lord's Mansion. Many people wanted to have children for this reason.

Some singles, who couldn't find a wife in the town, also set their sights on slaves. Anyway, the Lord said that slaves could get married.

As for the status of slaves, they didn't care. Anyway, as long as they worked for the lord for ten years, they could become serfs. Even if they had children in the future, they could get rid of the status of slaves, and they didn't have to worry that the lord would take their children out and sell them.

Facing the enthusiastic people, Ronin stopped to greet them and encouraged them to live and work in peace and contentment. Life in Shanlin Town would get better and better.

They walked and stopped along the way, and it was almost noon when they arrived at Shanlin Castle.

Shanlin Castle is now relatively quiet. Irene and Black Tiger have moved to Swamp Town, and together with her mother Jenny, they followed Elron to learn potion making.

Moreover, the environment of Swamp Town is more suitable for Irene to practice.

"My lord, why are you back?" Butler Chahar happened to be in Shanlin Castle.

"It's over. I'm back early."

Ronin said, "Ask the kitchen to prepare lunch. Is Rogner back?"

"Knight Rogner is in town. He has brought more than 500 people that Anthony had gathered from Baron Kona to Shanlin Town. Wilson is settling them down."

"In addition, Pearson and his caravan have also returned from Wushan City. The ironwood armor and weapons sold this time earned a total of 272 gold coins, all of which are in the drawer of your study."

The production capacity of the ironwood workshop has increased, and Galil's order has been completed ahead of schedule, just in time to escort Rogner to Wushan City during this trip.

"Also, the messenger bird brought a letter from Wushan Castle."

Ronin's eyes lit up. The birdway of the messenger bird had been successfully built for some time, and finally he could communicate with the outside world by letter.

"Where is the letter?"

"It's on the table in your study."

Ronin came to the study. The letter was in a linen bag. He opened it and saw a piece of parchment with a lot of words written on it. He knew it was from Lulans.

After reading it, the first part was a greeting. It might be that Lulans was old, or the backlash of the Soul Devouring Surge made him not in good condition, which seemed a bit long-winded.

However, it was mentioned later that May 25th was coming soon. He hoped that Ronin could go to Wushan Castle to celebrate his birthday this year, and also let him think about the possibility of getting engaged to Blanche.

"I didn't expect that my birthday would be coming soon."

Ronin couldn't help but laugh. He had forgotten about this matter.

"The old man is not convenient to move, so I'll go there and just see him."

Now the affairs of the territory are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Ronin's absence for a while will not affect anything.

As for the engagement with Blanche, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has a positive intention.

Roning was not opposed to this kind of marriage. After all, Blanche was not ugly and her personality seemed okay.

The key was status. Marrying the princess of the kingdom would bring him another status.

Roning thought about it, took out a piece of parchment, and began to write back to Lu Lans.

However, he only mentioned that he would return to Wushanbao for his birthday, and would talk about the engagement later.

"Dong, Dong..."

The door was knocked.

"Come in."

Rogna pushed the door open and greeted with a smile: "My lord, long time no see!"

"I just heard from Chahar that you are back, so I came to report."

"Thank you for your hard work, Rogna."

Roning smiled and said: "Kramie is still on her way back. It will take about four or five days to reach Black Soil Town."

"Thank you for taking care of Krami, my lord."

"I didn't take care of her. The conditions were bad when I was carrying out the mission in the woods."

Roning smiled and said: "You have a strong fiancée. When are you going to get married?"

Rogna scratched his head, as if he was not ready.

"Originally, we planned to build a small courtyard in Swamp Town. After it is completed, we will talk about the wedding."

They are now considered to have left their own families, so the wedding will naturally be held in their own small homes.

"That's no problem. Tell Wilson which piece of land you like and he'll give it to you for free."

Ronin smiled and said, "We can hold the wedding in Swamp Castle when the time comes!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

Rogna smiled and thanked him, then restrained his expression and said seriously, "Sir, I got some information when I went out this time, and I need to pass it on to you."

Ronin raised his eyebrows. Last time Rogna brought about the trial of Baron Leisen. What information does he have this time?

"You tell me."

"I heard that the Polante Bandits in the southwest of Wushan Territory have been restless since April."

Rogna said, "Many people speculate whether this group of bandits will cause trouble at the border again." (End of this chapter)
