Chapter 299 The Birth of the Fake Smile Knight

As early as when Ronin arrived at Weird Valley, he had thought about building a port.

But this matter has always been a concept, and there is no detailed plan on how to realize it.

Although his idea of ​​cooperating with Pointed City today was a bit impromptu, it is still a more reasonable plan.

After all, looking at the entire Wushan Territory, only here has experienced craftsmen, captains, sailors and port staff.

But this matter involves a lot, and it is not a project that can be completed in a short time. Even though Viscount Vitorino was moved by it, he still only said that he would seriously consider it and did not agree to it outright.

However, he also agreed to let Baron Hammett take the experienced craftsmen of Port Denis to Wubei Territory to survey the terrain and find a suitable place to build a port.

As for whether to cooperate and how to cooperate, we can continue to discuss it after we think about it later.

Ronin was not in a hurry. The other party had already taken the first step. How far would it be from taking the second step?

After leaving the study, he wrote a letter overnight and prepared for Hammett to take it to Swamp Castle and give it to Elrond.

In the letter, he asked Elron and Chahar to receive the distinguished guests well, arrange a team to protect the safety of the surveyors, and let Elron protect Carlos's house.

This was said in a rather obscure way. Even if the letter was peeked at, they would not know who Carlos was.

On the other hand, Vitorino was still thinking quietly in the study.

After Hammett came back from the battlefield, he praised Ronin's wisdom.

Originally, he thought that Hammett's words were a bit exaggerated, but today's meeting opened his eyes. He even felt that Hammett's praise was a bit conservative.

Just now, when chatting with Ronin, although most of them were talking about cooperating in the development of the port, Vitorino saw the young earl's clear thinking and great ambition.

Although it takes a long time to realize the blueprint drawn by the other party, it is worth a try, and the Dennis family has enough time to wait.

After all, they have been oppressed for more than one or two years, and they can afford to wait for another ten years.

Dongdong~

The door was knocked, and Reese pushed it in.

"Father, you are looking for me."

Vitorino hummed, with a faint smile on his face.

He is over fifty years old, and he doesn't know if he can break through to become a golden knight in this life. His biggest goal is to maintain the glory of the Dennis family.

But his son, Reese, can definitely become the first golden knight of the Dennis family, or even higher.

So he has high hopes for his eldest son.

"I have met Roning privately, and his performance is better than the rumors."

Vitorino gave a high evaluation: "The Marquis must have taken a fancy to Roning. In my opinion, Roning will probably be the master of Wushan Territory in the future."

He looked at his son. Reese is good in every way, but he is not very good at socializing and lacks the shrewdness that a noble should have.

On the contrary, his second son Jamie will have this talent, but his strength is not very good.

"You can have a good contact with Roning when you escort him to Jinyu City this time, and increase the understanding of both sides, which may be good for you."

Reese hummed, and seemed not very interested.

Reese's eyes lit up, "I understand, father."

Compared to literary contact and communication, he obviously prefers martial arts.

Vitorino shook his head with a wry smile: "Reese, you should learn how to get along with others like a noble."

Reese disagreed.

"Father, a noble may rely on communication to maintain stability, but it cannot always rely on communication to make the family prosperous. But as long as the strength is strong enough, it can be done."

"An isolated strong man has no way to face the siege of the coalition forces." Vitorino reminded.

"That's because he is not strong enough."

Reese said seriously, "If it is the Pride of the Sun Knight, I believe he can escape even if he is besieged by thousands of people."

"Pride of the Sun..."

Vitorino smiled bitterly. He is also a viscount, and the city of Pointed Corner has a lot of communication with the outside world, but he has never heard of any definite news that someone has become a Pride of the Sun Knight.

Reese's goal is good, but it is too difficult to achieve.

He waved his hand and ended the conversation: "Okay, go down and have a good rest, we have to go out to sea tomorrow."

Reese bowed and left.

But he did not go back to rest, but went directly to Ronin's yard.

Tom knocked on the door and reported the news.

Since Ronin was severely criticized for letting Betty in private last time in the Giant Stone Castle, now if they meet someone who wants to see Ronin, no matter who the other party is, they will report it first.

"What is he doing here?"

Ronin was taking a hot bath at the moment, "Let him wait in the living room, I will be there soon."

"Yes, sir!"

Ronin got up, dried his body, changed into a loose robe, and walked out. He saw the other party sitting on the sofa in the living room with a long sword placed aside.

"Knight Reese, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"

"Count Ronin, I have arranged the ship. We can set off after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Perhaps Vitorino's words worked, or perhaps it was too impolite to state the purpose directly. Reese said something irrelevant first, then stood up and looked at Ronin with burning eyes.

After Ronin heard the other party's first words, he was ready to thank him. But before he could say anything, he was choked back.

"Now?"

Luo Ning guessed that it was almost midnight now. How could anyone come to compete so late?

"Yes, now!"

Reese said with great anticipation: "I have been hearing that you killed the Meteor Knight during this period, so I really want to experience your strength. My father just told me that you have agreed to compete with me, so I am here!" "

Luo Ning sighed. He did agree, but he didn't say that he would have to spar in the middle of the night.

"David, go and ask the servants to prepare hot water for my bath."

Luo Ning said, turned around and entered the room, changed his clothes again, and walked out with the Yanliu Sword.

"How to compare?"

Reese smiled for the first time: "How about just competing in swordsmanship?"

"Can!"

Luo Ning walked out, "But if I win, you have to promise me to keep smiling when you see me every day."

The smile on Reese's face softened.

During the competition, the winner proposed many conditions, but they were nothing more than money, women, and surrender. This was the first time I heard about making people smile.

Reese didn't like to laugh, but in order to have a good discussion, he nodded bravely: "Okay, I promise you!"

It's just swordsmanship, not fighting spirit or fighting skills, so he won't necessarily lose.

The two walked to the yard one after another.

"Come on." Luo Ning said.

"good!"

Reese drew out his sword very decisively, crossed several meters in one step, and stabbed Luo Ning in the face.

His speed is fast and his sword tip is precise. At first glance, he is no showman.

But Luo Ning reacted quickly and dodged the attack. Then he stabbed forward with a backhand sword, which forced Reese to retreat and at the same time switch from attack to defense.

On the first day of the confrontation, both of them could sense that their opponent's physical skills and swordsmanship were not low, and there was a solemn look in each other's eyes.

With further matches, Luo Ning gained a certain understanding of Reese's overall level.

Luo Ning has only been learning the sword for more than a year.

Although he learned from Rydal and McCann, and began to integrate the advantages of the two, but the time was a little short, and from the perspective of swordsmanship alone, Reese seemed to be ahead.

However, Luo Ning was superior in strength and used his strength to make up for his technical disadvantages. He had the upper hand.

In the middle of the night, in the courtyard, the two swords collided with fire, and the sound of metal collision continued to sound, and the battle became more and more intense.

Reese became more and more serious as he fought. This Luoning was far more powerful than he expected.

After being suppressed for a long time, his breath gradually became thicker, and his arms were trembling under the repeated impacts.

Finally, after an unknown number of rounds, Luo Ning struck hard again, knocking the opponent's sword out of his hand.

"you lose."

Ronin took a deep breath, took the towel handed over by David, and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Come on Lys Knight, smile."

Reese was breathing heavily. He still couldn't believe he lost.

He looked at Luo Ning with some reluctance: "My swordsmanship is no worse than yours, you just gained the upper hand with your strength."

"Strength is also an aspect of swordsmanship. I don't need to remind you about this, right Knight Lys?"

Ronin handed the towel to David, "No matter how good your swordsmanship is, since you have lost, as a knight and the eldest son of the Dennis family, you won't be dishonest, right?"

Reese's chest rose and fell, he took two deep breaths to calm down, then twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Very good, you are indeed a person who keeps your promises!"

Luo Ning praised: "Remember to keep smiling when you see me every day until you defeat me."

The smirk on Reese's face got even worse. (End of chapter)
