The islands here have all been taken under control, and what awaits them will be being escorted back to Niujiao Bay for trial.

However, under the interrogation of David and Tom, six people stood out from the captives.

They are all ordinary people.

Two of them were craftsmen who participated in the construction of the dock, another had some experience in preliminary inspection and basic maintenance of ships, and the remaining three were sailors with good water skills.

After communicating with Knight Missy, Roning removed these six people from the list of prisoners. Like Captain Vic, they would be taken back to Wubei Territory to serve Roning.

The magic lamps illuminated the room.

Roning took out the map that Blanche gave him and spread it out on the table, marking the approximate location of White Whale Island on it.

There are no mineral resources on this island. The only specialty may be the few coconut trees on the island.

But White Whale Island also has its value.

Its southwestern coastal area is suitable for large ships to anchor, which is probably the main reason why the White Whale Pirates chose it as their base.

"This island has little business value, but it can be used as a sea base."

Ronin looked to the lower right of the location, where the Howling Islands were located.

And further to the upper left is the direction of Rapids Island.

If Roning could obtain the right to use this White Whale Island, he might be able to use it as a springboard to quickly move south.

"If I propose this to His Majesty, would he be willing to include this island and Waiheke Island into my territory?"

Roning decided to give it a try. If it didn't work, he could try to pay rent to obtain the operating rights of the island.

This island, which has no development value, shouldn't cost much money.

And, even if neither of these two methods works, it doesn’t matter.

White Whale Island currently belongs to the kingdom. Unless they are pirates, ordinary nobles will not think of developing here. I believe that there will be no new owner here for a long time in the future.

As long as there is no new owner, Ronin will have a chance.

Boom! The huge roar shook the wooden building slightly. Luo Ning raised his head and through the wooden window on the east side, he saw a bright purple-red light not far away.

The light lasted for about two or three seconds, just like a flash of lightning that suddenly streaked across the sky during a thunderstorm, illuminating the entire earth.

This is Melonica practicing her secret arts.

Roning put away the map and walked towards the area where Melonica was practicing.

On the empty beach, Melonica was concentrating on practicing the Fire Dance and Lightning Strike.

After obtaining this secret technique from Lu Lans, he has been studying it for nearly ten days, but it is still difficult for him to master it.

The fusion of the two attributes of Dou Qi still requires more attempts, but the amount of Dou Qi in the body and the mental energy consumed limit the number of times he can use it.

“Again!”

Melonica raised his sword high, with thunder in one hand and fire in the other. The two attributes of fighting spirit were controlled by him on the sword and could not break out. When they blended with each other, it seemed as if they were devouring each other.

Purple and red light illuminated the beach, and Ronin could see the powerful energy surging behind the light.

suddenly.

Boom! The two energies controlled by the long sword seemed to be difficult to control anymore. They shot straight up into the sky, bursting out with fierce light, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

"Huff, inhale, inhale, inhale!"

Melonica panted, this was all she could do tonight.

"Your Excellency Baron, I felt an unshakable force from that beam of light just now."

"All right, Mr. Melonica."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "My grandfather told me that you don't seem to be very interested in the title."

Melonica turned her head and looked at the sea, which was pitch black. "Compared to becoming a noble, managing and developing a territory, I prefer to pursue greater power and enjoy the excitement of charging into battle."

"There are many enemies in Wushan Territory. It is indeed a very suitable place for you."

Melonica's eyes were filled with reminiscence.

"When I was young, there were wars everywhere. Bandits and rebels were burning, killing and looting everywhere. My parents died in the chaos. It was Lord Lulans who saved me. Then I joined the knight team of the Wushan family."

He paused, turned his head and looked at Luo Ning: "So compared to the pursuit of strength and fighting on the battlefield, repaying the Marquis for saving my life and cultivating me is the biggest reason for me to stay in Wushan Territory."

With a combat capability like his, he has been secretly invited by other nobles many times, and some of them offered conditions that were several times better than those of Wushan Castle.

The reason why I am willing to be an honorary knight all these years is because I am grateful.

Luo Ning praised: "Some people outside say that you are aloof and cold, but in my opinion, you are a person with rich inner feelings."

Having said that, Roning also sensed the hidden meaning behind the other party's words and couldn't help asking, "My grandfather's health is not very good. Miroslav said that he may only have seven or eight years left. I wonder what your plans are after grandpa passes away?"

Melonica frowned, perhaps because he heard that Lu Lans didn’t have much time left, which made him feel not very good.

"I will hand over the territory to my son Tailan, and the Taylor family will continue to be loyal to Wushanbao or the person designated by Lord Lulans. As for me..."

Melonica's eyes flashed with a cold light, "I will leave Wushan Territory and become an assassin, and make the murderer who framed the Marquis pay with his life!"

This answer was beyond Luo Ning's expectations.

"You want to assassinate the Duke of Vera?"

Ronin revealed: "Blanche told me that Andrea seems to no longer be the Meteor Knight."

"He broke through?" Melonica asked in surprise.

Luo Ning nodded. "It is said that he broke through and became a Silver Moon Knight two years ago, but he has never publicly admitted or revealed his strength, so I am not sure."

Melonica thought it was very possible.

"Andrea's aptitude is only slightly inferior to that of the Marquis. It is possible for him to become a Silver Moon Knight in his seventies."

His tone was somewhat unwilling.

Compared to the Meteor Knight, the Silver Moon Knight has further improvements in physical strength, endurance, speed, and burst of power, and can also stay in the air for a short period of time.

He wanted to assassinate Andrea, but his current strength was totally insufficient.

"I think we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Luo Ning said: "What the Principality of Vera has done to our Wushan family will one day be repaid."

Melonika heard that Ronin wanted to win him over, so he said calmly, "I follow Lord Lulans and am loyal to the Wushan family. I don't want his bloodline to hate each other or even kill each other after the death of Lord Marquis."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."

Roning smiled and shook his head: "My enemy has never been Bretton, and I believe Bretton doesn't hate me either. Moreover, I am certain that I can help my grandfather get rid of the disease."

Melonica turned her head sharply: "Really?"

"We are now 50 percent sure!" Luo Ning said confidently.

Melonica looked at Ronin carefully, as if trying to determine how credible this statement was.

After a long while, he said solemnly: "If you can cure the Marquis, I will seriously consider cooperating with you." (End of this chapter)
