In the morning, Roning was summoned by His Majesty the King and was led to his study by the guards.

"Please sit anywhere, Ronin."

Bruno smiled and said, "I heard that Karada chose to follow you last night?"

Hearing this opening conversation, Roning suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Philemon is the master of the Royal Knights. He expressed his wishes to Karada, which can basically be confirmed to be an instruction from His Majesty the King.

Roning tried to recruit Karada and was successful in the end, which was more or less a sign of a compromise.

Faced with Bruno's question at this time, he chose to answer honestly.

"When the tournament started yesterday, Knight Reese of Pointed City introduced Karada to me. When I learned that he did not follow any nobles, I wanted to recruit him. Then during the championship match, I sent him a request to recruit him, but he did not agree at that time."

To be honest, Roning was really afraid that Bruno would ask him to give up his love, and he would not know how to respond.

After all, many of the gains from this trip to the capital were thanks to the care of His Majesty the King, and what happens on Rapids Island in the future will all depend on Bruno.

In this situation, if the other party asked him to give up following Karada, it would seem that Roning was ignorant of the ways of the world if he chose to refuse.

Fortunately, Bruno did not say such a thing. He just laughed and scolded: "You kid, you got one step ahead of me. I originally wanted to recruit him into the Royal Knights!"

Roning felt relieved. He chuckled and said, "I didn't know that Your Majesty was interested in Karada. Otherwise, you would never have tried to recruit him in the arena."

Bruno waved his hand.

To him, Karada was just a knight with good potential. If he really valued him, he would not have agreed to Luther's request and not approved him to join the Royal Knights.

Now that Karada has been known to many people, it would be embarrassing for him to ask Roning to give up his followers. The outside world might even think that he is using his identity and status to force Roning to give up his followers.

"Since Karada has followed you, I will no longer assign you strong knights for the two missions of destroying the White Whale Pirates and Rapids Island."

Bruno thought for a moment and then said, "Although the White Whale Pirates attacked you this time, they were targeting my royal guests. When you set out, I will arrange for someone to bring a few knights to accompany you on the sea."

For him, no matter who the mastermind behind this incident is, he needs to make his position clear and let these people know that anyone who targets the royal guests will have to pay the price.

"I wonder how strong the White Whale Pirates are?"

Although Ronin had obtained Reese's consent and a team of knights from the Dennis family had arrived to accompany him to complete this mission, so many days had passed since they landed, and Ronin was not clear about the results of the assassin's interrogation.

Although the royal knight team was quite powerful, Roning was still a little worried.

After all, they need to go to the White Whale Pirates' lair this time. If the enemy is too strong, the landing operation will be at a great disadvantage. They must not end up capsizing in the gutter.

Bruno glanced at Philemon beside him, who understood and said, "The interrogation results from Horn Bay have been received. This group of pirates is hiding on a small island. It is said that their leader is a criminal wanted for killing a nobleman. Although he is not weak, he is only a golden knight."

"In addition, there is a silver knight, that is, the deputy leader Karawei who we captured, as well as three bronze knights and a dozen knights below the senior level. The overall strength is not strong."

Luo Ning was somewhat surprised: "I heard that the White Whale Pirates are one of the most powerful forces in the Howling Sea. How come the number of combat members is only at the level of a knight squad?"

Originally, Luo Ning thought that the other party had a large number of people, but he didn't expect that there were only so few people.

Philemon smiled and said, "These comments all came from those merchant ships. For the nobles, a pirate group of this level would never be able to make it."

If the pirates are too powerful, it usually means that the politics in this area is very chaotic. On one side of the Howling Sea is the royal capital, and in the middle is the Earl of Howling Island, the politics is relatively stable.

This situation limits the development and growth of pirates.

At this time, Bruno smiled and said, "So you don't have to worry. As long as we find the base of pirates of this size, we can send two ships to destroy them at any time."

Luo Ning stood up and bowed: "Luo Ning thanks your Majesty for your care."

"Broll has arranged for the accompanying knights. You will meet them later."

Bruno waved his hand, "Let's go when you're ready."

Luo Ning bowed and left, and this trip to the royal capital was basically over.

…

Niujiao Bay, a small courtyard close to the main urban area.

Although those who can live here are not nobles, they are not the lowest common people either.

Over the years, Karada has worked as a mercenary, traveled alone through the World of Warcraft Mountains, and is also a mentor at the Oxhorn Bay Supernatural Academy, and has accumulated a certain amount of money.

Although his parents are farmers, he can still buy a yard in a relatively prosperous area with his income.

After returning from the royal capital, he told his parents about his plan.

"Whatever decision you make, your mother and I support you, kid!"

Karada's father patted Karada on the shoulder. In fact, they were already satisfied with their son's current achievements.

However, they also knew that their son had his own goals and could not stay in Niujiao Bay forever.

"Your father and I are very happy to be a follower of a noble, but the territory of Count Ronin is too far away."

Karada's mother had tears in her eyes. A mother worries about her son even when he is far away from home. This is the same in any world.

"Now that you're gone, we don't know when we'll be able to see you again."

In this era of underdeveloped transportation, sometimes a separation may mean that you may never see each other again in this life.

Karada comforted him, "Don't worry, father and mother. The Earl told me that he will build a fleet. I will come back to visit when I have the chance. Moreover, when I have a foothold in Wubei, I can take you there to live if you are willing."

After hearing these words, the two of them felt a little better about parting.

"Go without worries. Your mother and I are waiting for your glorious return!"

Karada nodded heavily, put his bag on his shoulder, looked deeply at his parents, then turned around and walked out firmly.

After wandering around Niujiao Bay and Jinyu City for seven or eight years, he finally chose to leave the city where he lived and start a new life.

I hope he will come back again, with glory as his father wished. (End of this chapter)
