The exquisite crystal glass was thrown to the ground with great force and shattered into pieces.

Myron Fleming's face was gloomy. "This Ronin has ruined my good fortune again!"

Now he has no interest in cultivation, and his favorite thing to do is to expand the Fleming family's territory.

Even though that piece of land does not nominally belong to Screaming Island, he still likes to support or manage a force that is loyal to him and can bring him benefits.

Rapids Island, a place with development value but rarely paid attention to by His Majesty the King, is the place that Mellen has been paying attention to recently.

In order to clear himself of suspicion, he arranged for the Bloodsail Pirates to infiltrate Rapids Island. In the past two years, the effect has been quite good.

Last month, the leader of the Bloodsail Pirates reported to him that the three leaders had basically taken control of the White Flower Society, the largest force on Rapids Island.

But in the blink of an eye, the three leaders and the Baihua Society were all wiped out.

It would be difficult for him to enter Jiliu Island again.

"Earlier, Jesus from Moonlight Valley told me that Ronin was an unstable factor. At that time, I thought that it would take at least ten years for an 18-year-old to ruin my plans. I didn't expect it to happen so soon!"

Ronin first betrayed his son Facundo, then destroyed the base on White Whale Island, and then eliminated his forces on Rapids Island.

The more Myron thought about it, the angrier he got. He snorted coldly, "This Luo Ning has successfully angered me."

"Sir, should we treat him?"

Beside him, Knight Jos made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Myron pondered for a while, and finally shook his head. "Doesn't Jesus love to fight with Wushan Lord? Just leave this matter to him. There is no big dispute between my Screaming Island, Wushan Castle, and Ronin's Wubei Lord, so there is no need to deal with Ronin."

The failed assassination attempt by the White Whale Pirates caused him losses, but they could be taken back from Jesus.

As for White Whale Island which cannot be used, there are many similar islands in the Howling Sea, so we can just find another one.

The loss on Rapids Island did make him a little sad, but it was still not enough to make him send someone to assassinate the other party.

What's more, the other party is accompanied by the knight team of Pointed Horn City and Melonica, whose strength has reached the peak of the gold level.

Assassination is not an easy thing.

Luo Ning's deeds fermented in Jinyu City and Niujiao Bay for a few days, and gradually spread to the territories of other nobles.

Two days later, Luo Ning arrived outside the Goldfish Palace.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Blanche and the guards waiting in front.

"Welcome to the victory, brave Flame Knight!"

Rhonin walked forward, saluted respectfully, and then went to the Hall of Alduin under the leadership of Blanche.

"I didn't expect you, a princess, to come out to greet me."

The two chatted as they walked.

"Not only did you eliminate the White Whale Pirates, you also helped the kingdom quell the unrest on Rapids Island. Isn't it reasonable for me to come and greet you?"

Luo Ning curled his lips. "You know how difficult this operation is. Why are you exaggerating like the people outside?"

Blanche laughed. She no longer had the melancholy look she had in the past, and became more cheerful and bright.

"If more people say it, it will turn out to be what they say."

Soon, the two arrived at the Hall of Alduin.

In addition to King Bruno, there were also Broll, the deputy commander of the Griffin Knights, Philemon, the commander of the Royal Knights, several ministers of the kingdom, and Knight Missy, who was acting on behalf of the royal family.

"Ronin meets His Majesty the King!"

Roning first greeted Bruno, and then nodded to the others present.

"I have heard the main details of the operation from Missy."

Bruno smiled and praised: "Ronin, your performance this time was very good!"

Roning bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I was able to complete this operation so smoothly, thanks to the assistance of Missy and other knights and your care."

There was a flash of satisfaction in Bruno's eyes. This kid spoke very nicely.

"You don't have to be modest."

He said, "I heard from Missy that you dealt with Clifford, the third leader of the Blood Sail Pirates, alone. Haha, you were able to defeat the Golden Knight alone. It seems that you didn't fully display your strength in the Knights' Tournament."

"Hahaha……"

Bruno didn't expect Roning to admit it so directly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He stood up, drew out the long sword held by the knight beside him, and strode down the steps. "Come on, Ronin, kneel down."

Everyone had different expressions.

The expressions of those who knew the inside story, such as Broll and Philemon, were very natural;

Those who didn't know the inside story, such as Finance Minister Luther, were obviously surprised.

His Majesty the King is clearly going to enthrone the emperor with this attitude.

What was Ronin conferred upon him? Honorary Knight?

Or a title?

Luo Ning knelt on one knee respectfully with his head lowered.

Bruno placed the sword on Ronin's shoulder and said, "Pirates are rampant on the Howling Sea. Previously, the White Whale Pirates assassinated nobles, and now the Blood Sail Pirates are seizing the kingdom's property. In view of your heroic performance, the Flame Knight Ronin Wushan, on the Howling Sea."

He paused, and his tone became more serious: "I, Alduin V, Bruenor Alduin, formally anoint you, the Flame Knight Rhonin Wushan, as the Baron of Rapids Isle!"

“I hope you can use your great strength and courage to create a peaceful Howling Sea for the Kingdom of Alduin!”

Ronin slapped his chest firmly with his hands.

"I, Rhonin Wushan, solemnly swear that I will defend the peace of the Howling Sea and the interests of the Kingdom of Alduin with my strength and courage as the Baron of Stromsholm!"

Several ministers of the kingdom who were unaware of the situation felt a chill in their hearts. They did not expect that His Majesty the King would directly confer the title of Baron of Rapids Island on Roning.

Although it is just an island of moderate size, from now on, there is a second nobleman in the Howling Sea in addition to the Earl of Howling Island.

Everyone couldn't help but guess what His Majesty the King's intentions were.

Use Roning to check and balance the Fleming family? In recent years, the Fleming family's industry has indeed grown a lot, and they are close to several great nobles such as Moonlight Valley, so they do need to be checked and balanced.

Would it be effective to just introduce this young man? Although the person behind him was the Marquis of Thunder from Wushan Territory, how could a Marquisate that was on the verge of collapse fight against a thriving Earl?

Under the mask, Knight Missy couldn't help but sigh.

Roning was originally an earl in the marquisate, and now he was conferred the title of baron of the kingdom not long ago.

It is indeed very easy for people with channels and background to become nobles.

Unlike Karada, such an outstanding person, he had to go through so many setbacks and difficulties to become a landed noble, let alone an honorary knight, and he has not succeeded yet.

Blanche also felt a little emotional.

When she first heard that the man who was interested in marriage was a baron from the deep mountains and forests, she felt a little resistant.

However, after meeting Roning and experiencing some things, those resistances disappeared.

And now, the other party has not only gotten rid of the identity of the Baron of the Deep Mountains and Old Forests, but also become the Earl of the Marquisate and the Baron of the Kingdom.

In terms of status and identity, although Luo Ning is still a little short of it, no one will object to the marriage between the two parties based on their status.

But in fact, Blanche felt that she was not worthy of the other party. After all, her reputation had not been cleared.

"Stand up, Baron Ronin."

Bruno handed the sword back to the knight beside him and patted Ronin's shoulder heavily.

The waiter at the side held an exquisite box, which contained the golden medal of the kingdom's baron and a beautifully sealed appointment letter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Roning stood up and took the box in his hand.

From now on, he has two identities.

He is both the Earl of Wubeiling, who is loyal to Wushan Castle, and the Baron of Rapids Island, who is loyal to Bruno.

As long as Wushanbao does not become an enemy of the royal family, his two identities will not conflict. (End of this chapter)
