Chapter 239: Diane's Changes
After the cramped lunch, it was time for each of them to have a lunch break.
Lulans returned to his residence early, while Roning was dragged by Bretton to the yard for a contest.
Bretton has two attributes, thunder and water. Although it is unknown how high his affinity is, it can be seen from the fact that he can master the surging thunder in a few days that it should not be low.
During the competition with the opponent, the thunder will be transmitted to him through the Liuyan Sword, giving him a burst of numbness.
Although Bretton's current thunder strength is not enough to affect Roning, if it is replaced by a silver knight with thunder attribute, this paralysis will be stronger, so you need to be careful.
Fortunately, it is not troublesome to defend. You only need to use your own fighting spirit to isolate the opponent's thunder power, and you don't need to wear any insulating clothes.
During the half-hour competition, Bretton was naturally tortured all the time, but his mood was not affected at all. Instead, he became more and more courageous.
Even after Roning proposed to rest, Bretton still stood in the yard recalling the process of the competition, summarizing the shortcomings and considering how to deal with it.
"She is really a cultivation maniac."
Roning sighed, took the towel handed over by Hallward, wiped her face, and motioned for him to follow him out of the yard.
"Hallward, what happened to Diane?"
Roning handed the towel back to the housekeeper, "Why do I feel that she seems to be different from before?"
"I don't know what happened to the lady."
Hallward pondered slightly, as if thinking about where to start this matter.
After a long while, he said: "I only know that the lady has not left the door for two or three days after returning from Black Python City last time. When she came out again, her personality seemed to have changed a little."
Roning nodded slowly, secretly guessing in his heart, could it be that Orson blamed Diane for his experience in Wushan Castle?
That's not the case. It was Orson who insisted on challenging Lu Lans. If he remembered correctly, Diane also persuaded him.
"Young Master, if you want to know more, maybe you can ask the Marquis."
Holwart suggested: "When the lady left for Black Python City, the Marquis also looked for her."
Roning's eyes lit up. Could this be Lu Lans's plan?
At the same time, after finishing lunch, Diane was taking care of the flowers she planted in the corridor of the courtyard.
After watering, she sat in a chair in the sun, and half asleep and half awake, she thought about what happened in Black Python City that day.
As the daughter of Orson, she returned to her former home to visit her father who was seriously injured, but what she was greeted with was her father's avoidance and the accusations of her brother Barrington, the heir of Black Python City.
Roning felt that some outrageous speculations were really Barrington's excuses to accuse Diane.
The other party even threatened that he didn't want to care about Breton's affairs anymore, and even if Lu Lans wanted to restore Roning's inheritance rights, they would not interfere.
The quarrel lasted for a long time, and Diane also defended herself for a long time, but it was ineffective.
In the end, it was her uncle Alan Hyde who stood up to separate the two and persuaded both sides.
In the end, Alan gave his advice - let Breton marry Kalima.
In this way, Breton is both the grandson of Earl Orson and the son-in-law of Barrington, and it is more legitimate to intervene in the dispute over the right of inheritance.
This seemingly good proposal pierced Diane's heart like a sword, making her miserable.
Because before she left, Rulans found her and had a conversation.
In addition to asking her to bring a greeting of "How are you?" to her father, the Marquis predicted the next move of the Hyde family in front of her -
Let Breton marry Kalima and give birth to children. After Rulans died, kill Wiggins first, then kill Breton, and finally support the baby who may still be in the cradle to become the master of Wushanling.
When Alan said that, Diane felt tired.
She used to simply think that her father and brother supported Breton because he was their nephew, and the Wushanling of the nephew would naturally be beneficial to the Hyde family.
All she had to do was to tell Breton to practice hard and become strong without being influenced by others.
But when Lulans's guess had the possibility of becoming a reality, she panicked.
She was just an ordinary person who couldn't even beat a fierce dog. In front of this group of extraordinary people who fought and killed at will, she couldn't change anything.
Even if she had to sacrifice her chastity to win over some former suitors, the strongest would only be a silver knight, which wouldn't change anything.
But fortunately, she still had a choice.
"Let's take good care of the flowers."
Diane lay on the bench and fell asleep in the sun.
In the afternoon, Wiggins returned to the castle.
After receiving the news, Roning paid a polite visit.
However, the other party was discussing the collection and transportation of food and weapons with several officials of Wushan City. He simply exchanged a few words with Roning and continued his own business.
Seeing Wiggins's focused and busy appearance, he didn't seem too incompetent.
Roning also left the other's study room at the right time. Seeing the sunset was about to set, he thought about sending a little shock to Lulans.
On the mountain road, Lulans called his Thunder Chaser Beast and rode on its back to slowly climb the mountain.
Facing Roning's questions about Diane, Lulans did not explain in detail, but simply said:
"I just let her know her identity. Now she should be my daughter-in-law, Wiggins' wife, Bretton's mother, and then Orson's daughter."
Rulans looked down at his grandson who was walking and following him, and changed the subject: "Do you really have a dragon?"
He always felt that it was unlikely. He even found a few books after lunch and read them. The dragons introduced in them were all fictitious and could not stand scrutiny. There was no record that seemed to be real.
But seeing Roning's serious look, his heart was beating again.
Roning's mouth curled up slightly, and it was a bit funny to see the old man's cautious and tentative questioning.
"Of course, Grandpa, you know, I am upright and never lie."
Rulans's white beard trembled, "You lied a lot."
Roning touched his conscience and thought: I really never lie unless I have to.
"I went to many places when I was young, and I saw many magical beasts."
Lulansi patted the Thunder Chaser Beast under him, "This guy is said to have the blood of a dragon. In addition, there are some flying magical beasts, such as the dragon eagle, which are also descendants of dragons."
He shook his head slightly: "But if you talk about real dragons, I have never seen them with my own eyes."
"You will see them soon."
Roning had already called Carlos in his heart in advance. He felt that the other party was not far away from him. It would take less than ten minutes after calling.
Thinking about Carlos's existence is also a very appropriate thing to tell Lulansi.
When he comes to Wushanbao next time, he can land directly on this back mountain without the trouble of this time.
Lulansi stopped talking when he saw Roning so sure, and he was already 70% convinced in his heart.
He is not a person who has never seen the world. There is nothing to be shocked if he really sees a dragon. It is nothing more than an extremely rare flying magical beast.
Not long after, the two came to the open space on the mountainside.
Lulans got off his mount, and the Thunder Wind Chaser walked into the exclusive house next to it.
But suddenly, its movements froze, and it turned its head to look at the sky, making a low hum of anxiety.
"Here it comes." Luo Ning reminded.
When Lulans sensed the uneasiness of the contracted monster, he looked up at the sky.
In the dim twilight, a black dot gradually enlarged and enlarged in the sky. The appearance of the dragon was not yet clear, but a faint pressure enveloped Lulans' heart.
He knew that this was the pressure from the bloodline, and only the real high-blooded monsters would have such an effect on people.
His eyes flashed, revealing the shock in his heart.
"Is this the dragon?" (End of this chapter)
