Chapter 234 No Effect

Diane's enthusiasm was not just for the short time they met. Later, she prepared all kinds of fruits and snacks for Roning. She also asked Roning what he liked to eat for lunch and made it for him.

In a trance, she seemed to have changed from a stepmother to a biological mother.

No, it was probably closer than a biological mother. Even when Bretton came back from outside, Diane might not be so enthusiastic.

She asked and encouraged Bretton more, asking him to spend all his time on training, improve his strength as much as possible, and become a powerful knight who could stand on his own as soon as possible.

But the more such abnormal enthusiasm, the more cautious Roning became.

Anyway, no matter what the other party's purpose is, it's always good to be careful.

After eating some fruits and ordering dishes, Roning finally got rid of Diane's enthusiasm and walked to the back garden alone.

"Master Roning, you are finally here!"

After hearing the guard's report, the old butler Most informed Lu Lans of the information, and the Marquis rarely showed a happy look.

"Long time no see, Most, how is my grandpa?"

"Good, good, everything is fine!"

Most didn't know whether he was telling a lie or the truth, "The master was very happy after receiving your letter and knowing that you would come back for your birthday, and he kept thinking about you!"

His description reminded Roning of an old widow who stayed in his hometown waiting for his children to come back, but Lu Lans was not like that.

Although it was the daily living place of the Marquis, the facilities and scenery here seemed to have not changed.

Under the leadership of Most, Roning quickly came to Lu Lans' study, where the latter was sitting on the sofa and resting.

The old man was dressed more formally, and his spirit seemed to be good, but when Roning saw Lu Lans's appearance, he was still shocked.

At this time, Lu Lans was much thinner than before, almost skinny. His hair was completely gray, and his eye sockets were sunken a lot.

"Grandpa, how are you?"

Luo Ning asked with concern: "Why are you so thin?"

Lu Lans raised his hand, and Moster understood, and immediately bowed and left the study and closed the door.

"The side effects of the Soul Devouring Surge are like this. After a violent use, the backlash effect will become stronger and stronger until a balance is reached again."

Lulansi smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just a little thinner."

He looked Roning up and down, then nodded slightly, "You've grown taller and more mature. How is the construction of Wubei Territory going?"

Roning took out a purification spell scroll from his arms, "Grandpa, I got a few light magic purification spell scrolls, let's see if there is any effect?"

"Purification spell scrolls are not easy to buy, it seems you spent a lot of money."

Lulansi took the scroll, opened it and took a look, then put the spell scroll away, "It's a pity that you spent money, but unfortunately, it has no effect on the Soul Devouring Surge."

"Not at all?"

Roning asked subconsciously, but he could guess from the other party's expression that Lulansi might have received purification treatment.

Next, the other party's words confirmed Roning's guess.

"I heard about the fourth-level light magic purification when I was young. Although light magicians are rare, there are still some in the entire Orlant continent. Back then, I found a great light magician with my connections. He performed the purification himself. In addition to making the body feel comfortable, it had no effect on the Soul Devouring Surge."

That's right. I don't know how much Lu Lans spent and how many connections he made to cure the disease in his body. He must have heard of the magic of purification and definitely tried it.

"This magic is very special."

Lu Lans said: "When other magic is injected into my body for treatment, it will not only have no effect, but it will easily trigger the backlash of the Soul Devouring Surge. But light-attributed healing, purification and some magic do not have this concern."

"This is also the main reason why Miroslav and Silva insist that light-attribute magic can heal my injuries."

Ronin had to put away the purification spell scroll, "Okay, I will find magic to heal you."

If he had the sixth-level magic beast Carlos, the power of self-preservation would be a piece of cake.

Ridar is also relying on his own cultivation talent to improve his level progress. Roning will give his next energy essence to Elron to make him an eighth-level mage as soon as possible.

Just looking at Lulans' current situation, I don't know if he can still hold on for seven or eight years as he said before.

If the time is too short, Roning is afraid that he will be too late.

After all, there are only a handful of eighth-level mages on this continent. If you want to cultivate subordinates of this level, even if you can get a lot of energy essence by signing in every month, there is still a huge pressure.

You still have to work harder on achievements and try to accumulate more energy essence.

"The development of Wubei Territory is on the right track."

Since he couldn't treat it, Roning answered the other party's question.

"It's just that the biggest problem at present is the problem of population shortage."

Roning said: "I have asked people to collect more free people to join Wubei Territory for me, which alleviated the pressure of population shortage, but it is still relatively slow."

"The development of the territory is not a matter of one day or one night. Make a good plan, proceed step by step, and be patient."

Lulans warned: "The general population of a viscount territory is about 50,000 to 60,000, and even the prosperous Trojan City has a population of more than 100,000. This is the result of many years of development."

"As long as the territory's economy is developed, its characteristics are developed, and at the same time, your reputation is improved, naturally many free people and knights will join you."

"Population, even if it is natural reproduction, wait for more than ten or twenty years, as long as the resources of the territory are built up, the population will naturally increase."

This is just a general method. If Ronin wants to achieve more, he needs to increase the population in the short term.

Waiting for more than ten or twenty years, let's not talk about whether Luo Ning is willing to wait, let's talk about Lulans, he will definitely not have the opportunity to wait until then.

However, Ronin still listened carefully to Lulans's teachings.

"Grandpa, you just mentioned the characteristics. This time I brought the characteristics from Wubei Territory."

"Oh?"

Lulans smiled and said, "It won't be silk clothes again?"

He loved the scarf last time very much.

"That's not the case. Wubei Territory has a little more characteristics than you know."

As he said this, he took the wooden box from the guard beside him, placed it on the table and slowly opened it.

The wooden box was filled with grass leaves to act as a buffer, and a white porcelain bowl was placed in the center.

"What is this?"

Lu Lans picked up the white porcelain bowl from the box in surprise, "How can it be so delicate? Is this pottery?" (End of this chapter)
