Chapter 73 Unexpected News

Ronin didn't know the knights of the Horse Herding City, but when he heard the name "Rogner Iron Hoof", he knew the identity of the visitor - he was from the Iron Hoof family of the Viscount of the Horse Herding City.

He searched for information about this name in his mind, but he only knew that this Rogner was the second son of Viscount Marvin, and there was no more information.

And Ronin himself had no contact with the Iron Hoof family. If he had to say it, he could only spend thousands of gold coins on their land this time.

So what did the people of the Iron Hoof family come here for?

"Come on, accompany me to take a look."

It was not polite to keep others waiting for a long time when the nobles came to the door, so Ronin didn't delay any more and called McKen to go back to the castle together.

At this moment, there were five people standing outside the castle, three of whom looked like guards, and the leader was a man and a woman, both wearing light armor and equipped with weapons, and they looked like professional knights.

This was the first time Ronin had seen a female professional knight, but he paid more attention to the man with a black horse emblem on his chest.

The man was sturdy and stood straight, his hand resting on the long sword at his waist, and he had a fierce aura.

He was looking up at the castle in front of him, not knowing whether he was comparing it with the castle of the Iron Hoof family or estimating the defense of the Mountain Forest Castle in his mind.

"Rogner, they are coming." The woman beside him saw Roning and others coming from a distance and reminded him in a low voice.

The man who looked up at the castle came back to his senses and looked to his left, his eyes locked on the young man with silver hair.

"Good morning, Baron Roning!"

He swept away the fierce aura just now, and the whole person became very pleasant: "I am Rogner Iron Hoof from the Horse Herding City. Please forgive me for my sudden and presumptuous visit.

Roning looked at the other party for a while. He had black hair and black pupils, which made him look friendly, but it was a pity that his skin was relatively white.

"Welcome to you, Lord Rogner! "

Ronin walked up, smiled and gave the other party a gentle hug, "It's been a long time since Shanlin Town had any guests. I'm very happy to see you."

Rogna was a little surprised. The Baron Ronin in front of him seemed different from the legendary eldest grandson of the Marquis.

Although they only met for a moment, he felt that the person in front of him was more stable.

"Ronin, this is Ms. Krami Snow, she is my fiancée."

Oh?

Ronin was even more surprised. Why did the other party bring his fiancée to this remote place? It couldn't be that he brought his family to be loyal to him, right?

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Krami."

Ronin smiled and nodded to the other party, and said to Rogna: "You have a beautiful fiancée."

"Hahaha, I think so too. "

Rogner scratched his head and laughed, making Kurami beside him a little uncomfortable.

After a few pleasantries, the second son of the Iron Hoof family walked to the side and led out a handsome black horse, "We only learned in the past two days that you came to the Horse Herding City a while ago. The Iron Hoof family did not entertain you well. My father asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

"Viscount Marvin is too polite. To be honest, I should have submitted a visiting card to him when I arrived in the Horse Herding City. Roning was a little surprised while talking. Rogner brought people to Shanlin Town. Could it be just because of this matter?

Aristocrats, do you care so much about etiquette?

"This is a cloud-stepping colt with the blood of a third-level magic beast. Although it is only three years old and has not yet reached adulthood, its defense is amazing. Ordinary arrows cannot hurt it at all! And its speed and endurance are far superior to other horses. It is no problem for it to fly 800 miles a day!"

This cloud-stepping colt has a strong posture, smooth muscle lines, and exudes a strong sense of power. When you look into its eyes, you can actually feel a slight oppression.

The cloud-stepping colt is black all over, but there is a circle of white hair on its four hooves. It looks like it is stepping on clouds, very handsome.

While introducing, Rogna handed the reins to Roning, which made the latter stunned.

"What is this?" Roning took the reins, a little puzzled.

A horse with the blood of a magic beast, this is not something that can be bought with one or two hundred gold coins. Is the Iron Hoof Family going to give him one? Just because he went to the Horse Herding City and felt that the other party did not receive him?

Is the Iron Hoof Family so rich?

Seeing Ronin's silly look, Knight Kerami on the side couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Marvin said that the Iron Hoof Family was impolite, so he asked Rogna to bring the Cloud-Stepping Horse to apologize."

Really...

Ronin thought this was too incredible. He always felt that the other party's purpose was not like this.

"Please express my gratitude to Viscount Marvin for me."

Ronin said very moved: "It's just that the horses with the blood of Warcraft are too expensive, I..."

"You're welcome."

Rogna interrupted Ronin quickly, "In fact, we came here mainly for other things."

Ronin's heart moved. Sure enough, there were other things. What could it be?

"Then please follow me into the castle first."

As the host here, Ronin enthusiastically invited Rogna and Miss Kerami into the inner castle, asked Bella to serve tea and several fruit plates, and ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch to welcome the distinguished guests.

In recent times, as the castle servants have become more familiar with the lord's vegetable garden, the fruits and vegetables are much richer than at the beginning.

Although the hospitality was still a bit shabby, it was not as shabby as the hospitality to Knight Feridon.

Rogna and Kurami thanked him, enjoyed a few bites of fruit, and then returned to the topic.

"Ronin, I brought the Cloud Horse here to express my father's apology. The main reason is to bring you a message."

Rogna's voice was a little lower, "It's bad news."

"Huh?"

Ronin frowned, puzzled, what bad news did he have?

While speaking, Rogna took out a small piece of parchment from his arms and handed it over.

Ronin took it in confusion, and the other party continued: "This is a letter from the Wushan City branch of the Iron Hoof Chamber of Commerce to the Horse Herding City. After seeing the content on it, my father felt it necessary to tell you about it."

"What is this?"

Ronin spread out the letter in his hand in confusion and read the content on it quickly.

You don't know until you see it. You will be shocked when you see it. The letter actually said that the Earl of Wushan City, Ronin's father Wiggins, was assassinated and his life is in danger!

If it weren't for the fact that the parchment had the black horse emblem of the Iron Hoof Family and was personally sent by the son of the Viscount of the Horse Herding City, Roning would have suspected that some bad guy was maliciously spreading false information.

But since Viscount Marvin passed the news to him in this way, he used the reputation of the Iron Hoof Family to guarantee the authenticity of the news.

Roning raised his head in disbelief, "What on earth is going on?"

The letter did not specify the specific reason.

Rogna explained, "You should also know that the 28th of last month was Earl Orson's 70th birthday, and many nobles in Wushan Territory sent people to celebrate. Lord Wiggins, as his son-in-law, would naturally not be absent."

"Although the banquet went very smoothly, no one expected that Lord Wiggins would be assassinated by an unidentified killer on his way back to Wushan Castle after attending the birthday banquet!"

Rogna was very sad, "It is said that there are two silver knights among the assassins this time. Even if Sir Toru Vinar, who protects Earl Wiggins, is a gold knight, he can only barely hold these two people, not to mention that the other party also has a bronze knight and several senior knights!"

Roning has heard of the name Toru Vinar. The other party is the leader of the First Knights of Wushan Castle. Gaman Stout, who met him at the beginning, is his subordinate.

The outside world thought that Toru was only a silver knight. When did he break through to gold?

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Under the protection of the gold knight, Wiggins was still seriously injured and dying. The other party's assassination was obviously well prepared.

Roning couldn't believe it. "Earl Wiggins...my father, is he dead?"
