Chapter 290 Paving the Way



Amidst cheers and applause, Roning took the golden medal symbolizing the title and the book of enthronement handed to him by Rulans.

In an instant, two lines of text appeared in his sight:

["Famous all over the world" achievement achieved, attribute points +500, energy essence +1000]

[Monthly sign-in mechanism updated, reward multiplier +2]

["Siege" achievement achieved, attribute points +200, energy essence +400]

Luo Ning was delighted.

The achievement and sign-in mechanisms are all related to the level of the title. Now that he has become an earl, the effects are naturally triggered.

Now Roning can obtain 417 attribute points and 345 energy essences every month. Without taking into account the attribute points obtained through achievements, he only needs one year to reach level six.

If other achievements are completed during this period, this time will be further shortened.

Lu Lans patted Luo Ning on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.

The conferment was not over yet, but compared to the conferment of a knighthood, the subsequent process of conferring an honorary knighthood was much simpler, not as formal and grand.

However, this is still an important moment for those who have crossed the class threshold and risen from a commoner to the lowest level of noble honor knight.

Although there is no territory, this step is a step that many professional knights cannot take in their lifetime.

The six honorary knights excitedly shouted their oath of allegiance to Wushan Fort until death and kissed their medals.

After doing all this, Lu Lans picked up the wine glass, drank a glass with everyone, and then left the banquet hall, leaving the celebration to this group of young people.

"Haha, congratulations, Your Majesty!" Marvin was the first to come over and offer his congratulations.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Uncle Marvin, just call me Luo Ning."

Marvin raised his glass and exclaimed, "I still remember the scene when you bought a horse at my ranch, but I didn't expect you to go from a baron to an earl so quickly!"

"This is a legendary story that could be written into a knight's novel by a bard!"

Many people gathered around and vied with each other to congratulate.

While expressing his gratitude, Ronin also sent his blessings to the nobles and knights who were canonized today.

The atmosphere in the hall was lively, but not everyone was happy behind their smiles. Some people felt unhappy.

For example, Viscount Dennis of Pointed City.

When fighting against the Polante Thieves' Gang, the silver-level Viscount Vitorino was considered among the top fighters.

However, due to some reasons, Viscount Vitorino did not participate in the war and only sent a team of knights and soldiers.

He was supposed to personally participate in the war to wipe out the Polish bandit gang, but he did not join the war due to some reasons.

Now, as he held the cup and congratulated Philip and other silver knights who had been promoted to barons, he wondered if he could also receive generous rewards if he participated in the war.

Although it is impossible to be promoted to knight, is it possible to get a piece of land like Marvin did?

After all, there are many villages next to the shore city.

However, it is obviously useless to regret such things, and we can only envy them.

In addition to Viscount Vitorino, representatives of the Hyde family were naturally unhappy as well.

Those who were canonized this time were basically from the southwest battlefield. On the southeast front, except Melonica, no one was promoted to honorary knight, nor was anyone granted land.

Wushanbao might have to take care of the two newly recaptured pieces of land by himself, but considering the long-term harassment of the Black Gold Brotherhood, Wiggins probably won't put much effort into the two baronies.

There are two main reasons for the huge gap in enthronement between the two sides.

On the one hand, the southeastern side's performance was indeed not as good as that of the southwest side. The Black Gold Brotherhood was mainly responsible for the support this time. Facing the attack led by Melonica, they fled to Black Pine Ridge without much resistance;

On the other hand, Lulans arranged it this way on purpose.

The great victory on the Southwestern Front was mainly due to Ronin. These people who were awarded honorary knights and titles basically knew that this was due to Ronin, and they must be grateful to Ronin psychologically.

Lu Lan Si also had this consideration in mind when he set up their territories in Kasir Town and Sari Town, which were close to Chishan Town.

At the same time, such enthronement also let people know that there are benefits to following Roning.

The banquet in the hall was still going on lively, and the invited performance groups were performing lively shows.

Some people were toasting each other to the melodious music, some were chatting and discussing with each other outside, and some were wandering on the dance floor to the music.

In a corner of the hall, Irene looked at Ronin, who was chatting happily with many nobles, her eyes full of envy.

"Hey, pretty girl, don't you want to dance with me?"

McKinney came over and sat down, picked up the glass and prepared to have a drink with Irene, but found that the latter was holding juice.

"Don't drink?"

Irene shook her head embarrassedly, "Luoning... the adults said that I was still young and drinking would affect my development."

Hearing this, McKinney couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My brother actually said something like that?"

She looked Irene up and down and said jokingly, "You are developing well, don't worry."

Irene blushed, not knowing how to respond, but she understood the identity of this mature woman.

"Are you Lord Ronin's sister?"

"Of course, sister!"

McKinney looked at Roning in the crowd, and his tone suddenly became a little lost:

"Perhaps it's because our mother and grandfather died early, so Roning never lived in the small town of Surrey. Otherwise, he should have taken our mother's hometown into his own territory."

The small town of Surrey, which had been occupied by the Polant Bandits, was the territory of Amos Surrey, the grandfather of Ronin and McKinney. This time it returned to the embrace of Wushan Territory.

However, the town of Surrey has been abandoned over the years. It has neither many people nor any special resources, so Roning did not pay much attention to it.

She sighed, "I should have let Kabir follow Ronin this time and let Viscount Marvin go to the southeast. In this way, Kabir might be promoted to a noble and I could live in the small town of Surrey."

Kabir is in charge of the Brilliant City and controls a lot of wealth.

But like Toru, he was born in a humble family. His situation gradually improved after McKinney married him, but he is still only an honorary knight and has not become a baron.

This was indeed a lost opportunity.

Irene consoled him, "We have now taken back the town of Surrey from the Portland Thieves. I think with your status you should be able to visit there anytime."

McKinney nodded slightly. She originally thought that the girl coming out of the mountains was a little timid, but after communicating with her, she found that although she was a little shy, she was not like many children from ordinary families who stammered and were unable to speak.

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Luo Ning. I didn't expect him to grow so fast!"

McKinney looked at Roning in the crowd and suddenly felt that his brother had become so tall and handsome without knowing when.

She couldn't help but look forward to it: "He has become the backbone of the Wushan family! I believe that in the near future, if he successfully marries Princess Blanche, the Wushan family will usher in glory again!"

Irene was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Marry Princess Blanche?"

"Don't you know?" McKinney wondered.

The people of Wubei had heard that Roning had rescued Princess Blanche when he was promoted to Viscount, but they didn't know that the two were married.

"That's right. Luo Ning won't talk about it to anyone until it's confirmed."

McKinney nodded slowly: "But in my opinion, there should be no change in this matter."

Irene's expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural. (End of this chapter)
