Chapter 233: Change of Attitude

Ronin and Galil talked as they walked, and they said goodbye only after entering the city.

After Galil completed today's patrol mission, he needed to lead the team to the parade ground for handover, otherwise he would be very willing to invite Ronin to his home.

Caravans frequently traveled to Wushan City, so there were many hotels near the city entrance, providing safe and comfortable accommodation for travelers and caravans.

The owners of these hotels were of all kinds, some were wealthy free people in the city, some had aristocratic backgrounds, and some large chambers of commerce opened "chain" hotels in various cities.

Ronin found a hotel with a good environment to stay in.

This was warmly welcomed by the innkeeper, who not only waived all accommodation fees, but also prepared good wine and food, and even asked if he wanted services such as singing girls and dancing girls.

It was a great honor for such a big man as the grandson of Lord Rulans and the Viscount of Wubei to stay in their hotel.

The boss could have used this as a signboard to promote the hotel and attract more people to stay.

However, Ronin did not take advantage of these small advantages. He paid the money he should pay and refused the services he should refuse. He just wanted to sleep for convenience and did not want to cause any trouble.

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning, he ate a few bites of breakfast and then borrowed the carriage of the hotel to return to Wushan Castle.

Compared with the last time he came, Wushan Castle was not so lively this time.

Ronin’s birthday was not a particularly important day for those nobles. They would not come here from afar to celebrate like they did to Lu Lans.

According to the process of receiving foreign guests, the guards led Ronin to the reception room while sending someone to notify the current manager of the castle-Diane.

Ronin could go directly to the backyard to see Lu Lans first, and no one would stop him. But since he has moved out of Wushan Castle now, he should follow the host’s wishes when he comes here again.

Soon, brisk footsteps were heard, and Diane walked in quickly, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.

She was still beautiful at the age of 40, and even though she was only wearing a simple colored long dress today, she was still noble.

Roning stood up and prepared to take the initiative to say hello, but he didn't expect that the other party was much more enthusiastic than before.

Diane walked up and opened her arms, giving Roning a big hug.

"Welcome home Roning, I'm glad you can come to Wushanbao to spend your 18th birthday!"

Roning was stunned for a moment.

In memory, Diane was quite good to her predecessor, and she didn't make things difficult and target her like an ordinary stepmother.

On the contrary, the money she should have given was given, and the things she should have bought were also bought.

Except for the lack of frequent communication, there was nothing wrong.

However, Roning believed that the other party must have known a lot of what the Hyde family did.

Now that Roning has been deprived of his inheritance, Diane definitely wants her son Breton to be the heir.

Therefore, she should have a hostile attitude towards Roning's rise, but why is she so enthusiastic today?

This should be the first hug between Dai Anni and Luo Ning in all the years since she married into Wushanbao.

Dai Anni let go of Luo Ning, took a step back and looked at him carefully, still with a pleasant face.

"Compared to last time, you seem to have grown a little taller this time."

Luo Ning laughed, "I'm not yet 20 years old, there is always a chance to grow taller."

When he first crossed over, Luo Ning was more than 1.7 meters tall, and now he is probably more than 1.8 meters tall, which is a lot taller.

Facing such an enthusiastic Dai Anni, Luo Ning felt that something must be wrong, so he had better change the subject quickly.

"Where are father and Bretton? I'll go look for them."

"They're not in the castle now."

Diane said, "Bretton is studying at Wushan Supernormal Academy. I've sent him a message. He'll probably be back this afternoon or tomorrow morning to attend your birthday party tomorrow night."

"This is too grand."

Roning touched his nose, "Bretton's studies are more important. It's a waste of time to have him make this trip."

"He can practice in the castle, and he can also communicate and learn from you."

Diane smiled and said, "Since you taught him to practice swordsmanship last time, he has been praising your superb swordsmanship! I feel that besides the Marquis, he probably admires you the most as his brother."

Diane's personality is somewhat like her father Orson. She would never admit that her son is not as good as Roning, but now she has changed her mind.

Strange, really strange.

"Where is my father?" Roning changed the subject.

She sighed and sat down on a chair beside her with sorrow.

"You may not know that the Bolant Bandits have come back to threaten Chishan Town. The peace on the border is about to be broken. Captain Corian has submitted a letter requesting support to Wushan Fort. Your father is collecting food, weapons and protective gear for that place."

Ronin looked strange. How could Wiggins, who had a broken leg, be so concerned about this matter?

"I heard that a batch of food has been prepared and sent over. Why are you still collecting food?"

Besides, Chishan Town already has an iron mine. How could there be a shortage of weapons and protective gear?

Dianni's eyebrows flickered. Sure enough, although Ronin was far away in Wubei Territory, he still knew about Wushan Fort.

It seems that either someone in Wushan Fort has already turned to Wubei Territory, or Lu Lans revealed these things to Ronin.

If it is the former, it means that Roning wants the right to inherit Wushan Territory;

If it is the latter, it means that Roning's weight is getting heavier in Lulans' heart.

No matter which case, Roning and his Wubei Territory will rise.

In fact, these psychological activities are completely imagined by Diane.

Roning just heard some news from Galil by chance, but Galil did not lean towards him.

As for him and Lulans, they only exchanged a letter.

"Maybe your father wants to better deal with the war that may happen next."

Diane gave an answer, "After all, your father cares more about Chishan Town."

Roning thought for a while.

It seems that it was Wiggins who led the team to the front line to defend the enemy in Kasir Town, thus defending Chishan Town.

So the earl of Wushan City cherishes his only victory very much and protects it especially. After receiving the other party's letter for help, he dragged his broken body with one leg to pull supplies there?

Roning shook his head secretly, perhaps this is also the food and grass before the troops move.

He glanced at Dai Anni, and suddenly asked, "I wonder how Count Orson is doing recently?"

When mentioning her father, Dai Anni's eyes trembled, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared, replaced by a sad expression.

"After returning from Wushanbao, he lay in bed for more than a month without moving much. It was not until recently that he was able to walk on crutches, but the fighting spirit in his body can no longer be used easily."

She sighed and shook her head in annoyance, "I advised him not to challenge your grandfather, but he just didn't listen."

There is this thing?

Roning was a little surprised. The other party not only revealed Orson's situation, but also said that he persuaded the other party not to challenge Lu Lans.

Is this to explain to Roning that Orson's challenge to Lu Lans that day has nothing to do with her?

Considering that she was so enthusiastic today, Roning couldn't help but frowned. What does this woman want to do? (End of this chapter)
