So after he finished his main tasks, he came to Roning and asked in person.

For Roning, he knew that once his strength was exposed, it would definitely attract everyone's attention, including Lu Lans.

However, the question of how to explain strength has always been a problem that has troubled him.

The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the person who asked the question was Lu Lans, and the other party would not have any "the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind" thoughts towards him.

"Grandpa, actually my strength was at the peak of the advanced level a few days ago."

Roning thought about it and told the truth, "But now, I am a real bronze-level knight."

As he spoke, he directly activated his fighting spirit.

With just a little sense, Lu Lansi knew that the strength of this fighting spirit exceeded that of ordinary high-level knights, and it was completely qualified to be bronze level.

"very good!"

He seemed a little nervous as he gripped his cane, lifted it up, and then put it down again.

Perhaps because he was too excited, he failed to control his strength and the crutch hit the floor heavily, making a sound of wood being squeezed.

"Very good! Very good!"

In the end, Lu Lans couldn't hide his excitement and laughed out loud.

"After thirty years of silence, our Wushan family finally has the possibility of rising strongly again!"

He looked radiant at the moment, completely free of fatigue and illness. "Ronin, I see the shadow of your Bergremus in you!"

Lu Lan paused for a moment and continued: "However, you are now better than your uncle!"

Roning still underestimated the impact and joy that his strength would bring to the other party.

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "In fact, if Blanche had not been assassinated this time, I would not want to expose my strength so early. After all, Wushan Territory seems to be unstable now."

Lu Lansi took two deep breaths and calmed down his excitement.

"There are vassal rebels in Wushan Territory and powerful enemies outside. It is indeed not stable as you said."

He was very familiar with the situation in Wushan Territory, and there was a hint of decadence in his tone.

"However, if you had shown your talent earlier, even if you only revealed it to me a little, I would not have driven you to Hillwood Town."

“There’s nothing wrong with Hillwood Town.”

Luo Ning defended himself, "Becoming the Baron of Hillwood Town has at least allowed me to disappear from the public eye for the past six months. Otherwise, I might have experienced an assassination attempt like my father."

At this point, he couldn't help but shake his head. "I don't want to lose a leg like my father, or lose an arm like Baron Hermann."

Lu Lansi was stunned.

He seemed to understand why Luo Ning wanted to hide his strength silently and was even willing to go to Shanlin Town - just for the sake of peace before becoming powerful.

"You are wiser than I thought."

Lu Lansi's eyes flickered, as if some bad memories were surging, "If Grems hadn't been so aggressive in the past, perhaps he wouldn't have been ambushed."

Thirty years ago, the twenty-four-year-old Grimes’ combat power was comparable to that of a top bronze-level knight.

Many people believe that within a few years, a knight more powerful than Lulans will appear in Wushan Territory, possibly at the Silver Moon level or the Prideful Sun level.

For any kingdom or great lord, they may not care about low-level knights, but high-level knights, especially those above Meteor Level, are top combat forces that cannot be underestimated anywhere.

And people like the Silver Moon level are known to be able to defeat ten thousand enemies!

A Silver Moon-level being is equivalent to an army. Unless one is a transcendent being of the same level, it is almost impossible to take down such an existence.

It can be said that Grems's performance put pressure on many nobles who were unwilling to see Wushanling doing well.

That calculation was probably also due to this reason.

Lulans did not continue to ask when Roning awakened his fighting spirit seed and when he became a high-level knight.

Because these issues are not important, what is important is that his grandson is now at the bronze level.

Lu Lansi changed the subject, "I think Blanche's attitude towards you is very good, maybe this marriage can be successful."

"By then, His Majesty the King may reward you. You can take the opportunity to pledge allegiance to His Majesty Bruno, become a noble of the kingdom, and have the opportunity to obtain a larger territory."

Although the barons of Wushan Territory and the barons of the Kingdom of Alduin are both barons, they are loyal to different people.

"Does becoming the king's vassal mean that I have to give up Shanlin Town?" Luo Ning asked.

Lu Lansi nodded, "That's natural."

Luo Ning has already regarded Shanlin Town as his second home, and he has also discovered sericulture and kaolin. How could he be willing to give up Shanlin Town?

What's more, there are many uncertainties in the territory rewarded by the king.

If the territory is located in a more chaotic area, it would be better to keep it safe in the north of Wushan Territory.

"Then I would rather be loyal to you, Grandpa." Luo Ning said with a smile.

"That's fine, of course!"

Lu Lansi laughed, "Besides Shanlin Town, there is only Saen Territory to the north of Wushan Territory. When the time comes, it will all be assigned to you. It will be enough for you to manage and develop."

Having said that, he thought of Ronin's previous claim against the Lord of Sen.

"What kind of leverage do you have on Lei Sen? Are you absolutely confident that you can take him down?"

After experiencing this incident, Lulans felt more reassured about Roning. The reason he asked this question was mainly out of curiosity.

He guessed that there must be something happening to Roning that he didn't know about.

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, and Lu Lans did not urge him.

After a long while, he finally said, "Grandpa, do you think this assassination is related to the Skull Society that assassinated my father?"

Lu Lans shook his head. "I listened to Toru's report. There is no evidence pointing to the Skull and Bones Society. To be precise, the investigation of this assassination is likely to yield no results."

"If we can only attribute the assassination of the princess to the Colosseum auditors, it will only make Wushanbao look too incompetent."

Roning said: "We need a stronger scapegoat."

"The scapegoat?"

“He’s the one who takes the blame.”

Lu Lans suddenly realized and had a more vivid understanding of this new word, "You want Lei Sen from Sean to be the scapegoat?"

Roning nodded.

"On the seventh of this month, I was assassinated by the Skull and Bones Society in Hillwood Town, but the assassin knew too little about me. Not only did the assassination fail, but I also captured him alive."

As he spoke, he took out the testimony given by Shadow from his arms and handed it to Lu Lans.

Anger towards the Skull and Bones Society flashed in Lulans' eyes.

He didn't expect that this organization would not only attack his son, but even his grandson. This was really intended to make him exterminate his family line!

When he saw the contents of the letter, his rage grew even greater.

"The Sean family has followed Wushan for two or three generations. I never thought Lei Sen would do such a disloyal thing!"

Lu Lans handed the testimony back to Roning, "Where is the assassin? Did you bring him?"

"No, he is still under my custody in the Hillwood Castle."

Luo Ning folded up the testimony again and put it away. "However, I brought another witness who can also prove that Lei Sen wanted to kill me and even put it into action."

"Oh? Who is it?"

Roning glanced at the door and said, "Tom, come in."
