106. Chapter 106 107 We are not enemies



For Luo Ning, he had no sense of kinship with anyone in Wushan Fort.

But as he said, the blood of the Wushan family flows in his body, which he cannot change or deny. His bond with the Wushan family will not be broken, and this relationship needs to be maintained.

In the study, Roning and Wiggins' conversation did not last long, as neither of them seemed to have much to talk about.

Luo Ning took the opportunity to mention that he wanted to recruit some craftsmen in Wushan City, and that he wanted to move the families of the previous batch of guards to Shanlin Town at the end of the year.

It is not known whether it was because Ronin's conquest of the savage tribe fulfilled Wiggins' wish, or because he agreed to lead the army on behalf of the Wushan family, but Wiggins was very polite and agreed to all these requests.

After a brief exchange, Roning left Wiggins' study.

Outside the study, Breton leaned against the wall, and the magic crystal lamp in the corridor cast a long shadow on the ground.

As a boy of only thirteen years old, Bretton is about 1.6 meters tall and does not look like a child.

"Have you finished talking to father, brother?"

Luo Ning nodded, "Why, waiting for me?"

"Yes!"

Bretton smiled and said, "I have a lot to tell you."

The two brothers had communicated with each other in the past, but they were not close, mainly because their lifestyles were different.

His predecessor liked to be free and enjoy himself; Breton devoted most of his energy to training and learning. That was why he activated his fighting spirit seed at the age of thirteen and became a professional knight.

If he were placed on Earth, his predecessor would be a rich second-generation who lay down, enjoys life and is uneducated, while Bretton is a potential stock who is full of energy and hard work.

The current situation is that the rich second generation has fallen and potential stocks have taken over.

The two of them found a room at random, and the servants immediately brought candles to light up the room.

Luo Ning waited quietly, wanting to see what his brother, who was bringing him a glass of juice, wanted to say.

"Actually, I'm very grateful that you gave up your inheritance rights."

Breton handed a glass of juice to Roning, and then he picked up the glass in his other hand and drank a sip of the juice.

"Because I always feel that our Wushan family needs a strong successor. Excuse me, my father can't do it, and neither can you, brother."

Luo Ning didn't know what the other party was going to say next. Was he going to perform a trick of showing off in front of him?

"You know, it's not that I want to give up the inheritance rights, but Grandpa thinks you are more suitable."

Luo Ning raised his cup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "Actually, this is a good idea. You awakened your fighting spirit seed at the age of thirteen. As long as you practice hard, you might be able to catch up with your grandfather and become a Meteor Knight by the time you are thirty."

"You are indeed more suitable to lead the Wushan family and continue the glory of the past!"

Bretton was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Roning to be so sure of him. This made him stop talking.

But he was not angry. On the contrary, there was light in his eyes. "Really, brother, do you really think so?"

Luo Ning's tone was unquestionable, "Of course, I have always believed so!"

"Thanks!"

The smile on Breton's face grew wider. "I was worried that you would hate me if Grandpa gave me the inheritance rights, but I'm glad that you didn't."

Of course Ronin didn't.

If he had lived in this world for more than a decade and then been disinherited, he might have hated Breton.

But he was deprived of his rights on the day he traveled through time. To him, the right of inheritance was like an irrelevant thing and he did not feel it deeply.

As the saying goes, how can you talk about losing something if you haven't loved it? In comparison, if something you have is taken away, such as the title of Baron of Luoning Mountain Forest Town, he will definitely not be willing to accept it.

"There are many people out there who say that after I get the inheritance, I will suppress you, persecute you, or even kill you."

Bretton's tone was disdainful and his eyes were serious as he stared into Roning's eyes.

"We are from the same Wushan Mountain. We have the same silver hair and black pupils. We are brothers! How could I possibly attack you? They underestimate me!"

For a moment, Roning couldn't figure out what this little guy wanted to say.

He could only agree: "The mouth is on other people's body, we can't control it."

"You're right!"

Bretton laughed, "In addition to talking about this matter, I asked you to come here today because I need your help with something else."

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "You say."

Bretton pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that your Shanlin Town has a small population. Even if you add the population of the three savage tribes, it is estimated that there are only two to three thousand people. Such a small number of people is not enough to develop Shanlin Town, so how about giving the land of those savage tribes to me?"

"Why, are you still in the mood to manage those mountains?"

Is it just for fun? "Training and practice take up most of my time every day, how can I have time for this?"

Breton shook his head. "You know, there are many swamps in the Sean Territory, and there is a lack of good land for growing food. If we can use the land of those wild tribes, development will be faster, and it will bring me greater help in the future."

"So I plan to let Baron Leisen run those places."

Well, in the end, Sean was pulled in. It seems that their relationship is really good, and they can even let Bretton act as a lobbyist.

"But grandpa has the final say on the management rights of the land, right?"

Roning looked Bretton up and down, meaning that what you said counts?

Bretton patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, grandpa doesn't care about such trivial matters. He will just leave it to father to decide. I can just talk to father when the time comes."

Indeed, many government affairs of Wushan Territory were handed over to Wiggins to handle, and Lulans rarely asked about them.

Luo Ning thought about it, but shook his head. "Breton, I'm afraid you're too late for this matter. I've already asked my grandfather for the management rights of the three plots of land, and he agreed to let me manage them."

Bretton was a little surprised. He didn't expect Roning to move so quickly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you tell grandpa, it won't be a problem to transfer the management rights to Thane County. I will make the decision then and ask Baron Leisen to pay you at least 500 gold coins!"

Luo Ning had a faint smile on his face and shook his head.

I just complimented Breton because nice words don't cost any money, but now that we are talking about specific interests, I can't go along with the other party's wishes.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give up this right. Besides, who can guarantee that I can run those places worse than Lei Sen in Sean County?"

Breton frowned slightly, "But you only have so few people, how can you have the manpower to run such a large place? Or do you think 500 gold coins are not enough? If so, I can help you negotiate again."

Ronin saw hesitation and a flash of helplessness in the other party's expression. Perhaps the other party did not expect Ronin to refuse, so he did not prepare a corresponding plan? He planned to test it carefully to see if Bretton was targeting him.

"Breton, you just said that we are brothers."

Luo Ning looked directly at the other person, "Then why are you willing to help an outsider to persuade me to give up something that belongs to me?"

"I……"

Bretton suddenly felt that the Roning in front of him was so strange, completely different from before, and the aura coming from the other party made him a little overwhelmed.

"Baron Leisen asked his son, my classmate Moravi, to let me talk to you."

He explained: "Besides, I also think what the other party said makes sense. After all, Sean Territory has sufficient manpower and can quickly develop those places and bring more tax revenue to our Wushan family."

Roning's gaze softened a lot.

After all, Bretton is only a thirteen-year-old boy. Although he usually appears confident and calm, it is all the confidence that comes from his cultivation talent. There is nothing special about him in other aspects.

This is like a top student who has passed math, physics and chemistry, but failed miserably in physical fitness.

Breton was clearly not very good at negotiation and lobbying, and his personality did not seem to be strong enough.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to solve the problem of staff shortage you mentioned."

Luo Ning said: "I promise, I will run it better than him!"

"Okay, okay..."

Bretton spread his hands and said, "I said I'm not suitable to be a lobbyist. Negotiating with people is much more tiring than practicing."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "I can see that."

The atmosphere in the small room relaxed.

Breton said helplessly: "My mother told me that many nobles have disloyalty towards Wushan Castle, and asked me to win over more nobles to our side. Baron Leisen of Thane Territory has recently become a bronze knight, so we can get closer to him."

Luo Ning's heart moved and he wrote down these words.

In his impression, Baron Leisen was just a high-level knight, but he didn't expect him to make a breakthrough recently.

"That's right, Diane."

Luo Ning nodded in agreement. "But no matter how hard you try to win over Lei Sen, he is still an outsider, and I am your brother. Although we have different mothers, as you just said, we are from the same Wushan."

"Yes, you're right, brother!"

It seemed that the topic had been opened, and Bretton simply became casual. He pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Now that my father is dying and my grandfather's health is getting worse, in the near future, there will only be you and me in the Wushan family."

Breton said sincerely: "I hope you can continue the courage you had when you conquered the wild tribes and become a powerful lord. Together we can restore the former glory of our family!"
