Chapter 319: Generous Gift



But they left very quickly.

Soon, Bruno, Blanche and Ronin were the only ones left in the huge restaurant.

Bruno took the towel handed to him by the servant and wiped his mouth elegantly: "I thought you would continue to ask for compensation from them after I punished them."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already arranged it for me, so I will naturally not ask them for it again."

"Oh? So you are sure you can win the tournament?"

"I will do my best, Your Majesty!"

After news of how Bruno handled the matter today spread, the rumors about Ronin were labeled as untrustworthy.

When the martial arts competition comes, if Luo Ning defeats the outstanding people of Jinyu City again, his current reputation will completely cover up his past misdeeds.

Blanche encouraged him, "Ronin, I hope you can win the championship and present the wreath to me."

After winning the championship, the knight will give the wreath to a woman present. This is not only a way to celebrate the victory, but also a way to express respect or admiration for the woman.

Of course, accepting the wreath represents accepting the other party's respect or admiration, and it can also symbolize her charm, but it does not mean that she will become a lover with the knight or even get married.

This was just a custom. Many young ladies from noble families had received wreaths, but Blanche had not. She felt more or less regretful, so she chose not to watch many martial arts tournaments.

"I will, Your Highness!" Luo Ning promised.

"Don't underestimate the genius of Jinyu City. You will meet your match."

Bruno chuckled, but changed the subject: "But if you can win the championship, I will give you another gift."

Luo Ning was curious: "What gift?"

If His Majesty the King wants to give a gift, it must not be something simple.

Bruno clapped his hands, and saw an attendant official walked in respectfully, handed over a scroll and then left.

Luo Ning hurried over and helped to open the two-meter-long and one-meter-wide scroll. On it was not a painting, but a relatively complete map of the Orlant continent.

Not only are the territories of nobles of all sizes within the kingdom marked on it, but there are also islands in the sea and whirlpool marks far from the coast.

"There is an isolated island in the northwest of the Howling Sea, near the Amethyst Earldom."

Bruno pointed to the location of the island, "Rapids Island."

Roning looked over.

Although this island is close to the Amethyst Earldom, it is already connected to the center line of the northern side of the Howling Sea. Although it is said to be close to the Amethyst Earldom, it is actually not far from the Ubei Territory.

"This island is not very big, just about the size of a viscount's territory. It has always been a place where criminals are imprisoned. The Kingdom of Alduin has been established for so long, and there are probably tens of thousands of criminals and their descendants. They have also established several forces there."

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. This place sounded chaotic enough.

Bruno continued, "I heard from the people in charge of guarding there that several forces have been making moves recently and are about to get out of control. If you win the championship of this martial arts competition, I will arrange for you to subdue these forces, and along the way, I will have you clear out the base of the White Whale Pirates."

Roning knew that the kingdom would deal with the White Whale Pirates' attack on the nobles, but he didn't expect that he would take the lead.

But in comparison, Roning was more curious about Rapids Island.

"Your Majesty, is there anything special about this island?"

Bruno smiled and said, "There are some fruit specialties there, and a batch is shipped to the Golden Feather Palace every year. In addition, there are abundant wood resources on Rapids Island. Whether it is for making furniture or building ships, it is very good."

"Although the resources are limited and there's nothing special about it, it's still the kingdom's territory after all. I don't want it to be out of control and out of order."

Luo Ning's heart warmed up. Once he became a viscount of the kingdom, it would be a solid step towards becoming a marquis in the future.

This father-in-law is really nice. He gave me so many good gifts.

Moreover, Roning also noticed.

His Majesty the King never gives anything directly.

For example, he was asked to go to the library to pick out two fighting skills or magic books, using the excuse of collecting Ronin's "Explosive Flame Slash";

Giving Ronin 50,000 gold coins for reputation loss plus medical expenses was a roundabout way of giving it to him through the champion of the martial arts tournament;

And now, the title of knight is achieved by the merits of destroying the White Whale Pirates, conquering Rapids Island, and marrying Blanche.

There is a plausible reason for every step.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, Luo Ning!" he said gratefully.

He looked towards Rapids Island. The location of this island was still very delicate.

If, after the port of Wubei Territory is built, Ronin's warships can bypass the North Sea and enter the Howling Sea, approaching the Earl of Howling Island.

If Rapids Island exists in the future, it will be much easier for him and the Dennis family to attack Screaming Island.

Ronin can even use Rapids Island as an aircraft carrier.

"Rapids Island is not far from your Wubei Territory. When Blanche gets married, I will give you a few griffins so that it will be more convenient for you to travel between the two places."

Luo Ning's smile never stopped.

Griffin, this is the mount that many people dream of.

Back in Shore City, Ronin had thought of seizing those griffin knights under Jesus, but later gave up.

I didn’t expect that His Majesty the King would be willing to give it as a gift.

It seems that there are so many benefits to marrying into the royal family.

Luo Ning knelt on one knee: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. It is my honor to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Blanche laughed and joked, "Am I too cheap? My father paid a lot to marry me off!"

It’s indeed a bit too much.

However, Roning did not think that Bruno did all this out of a father's love for his daughter.

Ronin had the idea of ​​curbing the Count of Screaming Island, and Bruno might not have the same idea.

According to his observation, Bruno was not a foolish and pleasure-seeking king.

On the contrary, judging from the way the other party handled these matters, they are more rigorous in their work.

So Ronin had reason to believe that Bruno was more or less worried when he saw the four families of Ferensburg, Vera, Screaming Island, and Moonlight Valley getting married to each other.

The gift of Rapids Island to Roning was actually also due to the power of the Wushan family.

As a neighbor of the Principality of Vera, Moonlight Valley and Howling Island, this marquisate, if developed, would be able to disperse the pressure on the king.

They are not close relatives, so how can there be love without reason? (End of this chapter)
