The night is quiet.
While waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the morning, Ronin was thinking about how to deal with the Lord of Sen.
It is not a safe method to fabricate that Mikan is a high-level peak knight.
From the location of Shanlin Town, if you want to get out, you will have to pass by the edge of Sen Territory. Once intercepted by the enemy, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar, which would be very passive.
"I've analyzed it before. Baron Leisen is afraid of two things. One is that he is afraid that Wushanbao will know that he embezzled Shanlin Town's tax revenue. The other is that he is afraid that Wushanbao will know that he wanted to kill me."
Luo Ning lay on the bed with his hands as his head resting on his head. After much thought, he still felt that he needed to use the power of Wushan Fort to intimidate the other party.
"First, let Wushanbao know that the other party embezzled tax revenue, and then take the second matter into our own hands."
The reason why Roning didn't want to tell Wushanbao about Lei Sen's plot to kill him was that he wanted to keep it to Sean Lord and tell him when the time was right.
As for when the time is ripe?
That would naturally be when he was able to kill Baron Leisen and bring the Territory of Thane under his own name.
Once Wushan Castle knew that Lord Sen had done such a thing, it would definitely send people to investigate. By that time, Baron Leisen would be too busy dealing with this matter to care about Shanlin Town.
This will give Roning a long period of buffer time.
"Someone must be sent out to deliver the message tomorrow."
The professional knights needed to stay with Ronin and obviously could not be sent out, so Ronin could only select two guards to deliver the letter.
"With ordinary war horses, they can set out during the day and quickly cross the woods. The danger should not be great. Let them go to Lake Town and borrow the Green family's messenger bird to send a letter to Wushan Castle. Baron German will not refuse, right?"
Carrier birds are a tool for transmitting information in this world, somewhat similar to carrier pigeons.
It is about fifty centimeters long, has a fast speed and great endurance, and is said to be able to fly a thousand miles a day.
By using it to deliver letters, everything happening in Shanlin Town can be brought to Wushan Fort in one day.
Luo Ning also wanted to get a few carrier birds, but this thing needed special people to train. It was not something that could be used just by catching it. The carrier birds had to remember the locations of both ends.
Time passed slowly while I was thinking, and soon it was midnight.
Before he knew it, 14 days had passed since Luo Ning came to this world, and he received the second heartwarming gift box by signing in.
[Attribute points +25]
[Energy Essence +25]
Compared with the last time, this heartwarming gift box has 5 more attribute points and energy essence.
It really is... more heartwarming indeed.
Roning skillfully spent all his attribute points on the magician level, and now the progress has reached 101/150.
With his current mental strength and magic power, he can perform the Qingfeng Technique many times.
It's a pity that this first-level magic seems to have no other effect except blowing up the lady's skirt.
Oh, by the way, it can be used to blow away dust during spring cleaning.
"It will only take me a week or so to complete my magician level. By then, I will be able to break through to the intermediate level."
As long as he breaks through to the intermediate level, Roning can learn the wind blade spell.
That day, Pedro killed the captain of the Lake Town Knights with a sneak attack and the Wind Blade spell. After learning this spell, Ronin's overall strength was greatly improved.
"Once I put all my energy into Mikan tomorrow, his knight level will reach 95/200, which is halfway to becoming a true advanced level."
As long as he can delay Lord Sean and prevent him from paying attention to Shanlin Town for a period of time, Roning still has a lot of room for maneuver.
At the same time, Sean led Baron Leisen to the hall.
The magic crystal lamp shone brightly, illuminating the hall.
If Roning were here, he would probably think he had returned to Earth.
Magicians are rare, and magicians who can create magical objects are even rarer.
This results in the high prices of magical items. For example, Baron Leisen’s magic crystal lamp requires at least hundreds of gold coins to purchase.
This is just to purchase the "lamp shell", which uses magic crystals and magic cores as energy, which also requires a lot of gold coins.
Lei Sen is such a person.
Showing off his splendor all the time and flaunting his wealth is one of the things he likes to do.
"Sir, our intelligence was wrong. Roning was protected by high-level peak knights. We couldn't guarantee that we could kill him, so we didn't do it."
Knight Feridon was making a report. "And the guards under his command don't seem to be ordinary soldiers. I guess Lord Rulans still values his bloodline very much."
Baron Leisen, who was sitting above, turned the huge dark blue emerald ring on his finger, digesting the results brought back by the knights.
To be honest, he didn't expect it.
"You're right. Wiggins obviously hates Ronin, but Lord Rulans values bloodline very much."
At this point he couldn't help but laugh, "Lord Lulans was so heroic when he was young, who would have thought that he would have no successor when he was old, and even a useless grandson like Luo Ning would be protected by a high-level knight."
Feridon echoed, "After all, Luo Ning has Wushan's blood flowing in his body. Maybe he has a chance to give birth to a powerful transcendent?"
"Haha, then he should treat Roning as a stud, let him linger in bed every day, and have more children."
Deputy Unai smiled and said, "Isn't Ronin that kind of person? But I do wonder, since he has slept with so many women but has not had a child, is he useless like his father?"
“Hahahaha~”
In the hall, Lei Sen and several knights were laughing together.
When the laughter gradually died down, Feridon put on a more worried look.
"Sir, although Roning didn't learn from Princet and the others that we were going to murder him, after he entered Hillwood Town, he must have known that we have gained a lot of benefits from Hillwood Town over the years."
He paused and continued, "If he told Wushanbao about this, it might not be a good thing for you."
"I have already thought about this matter and have a solution!"
Baron Leisen was not at all panicked, and looked as if the matter was easy to solve.
"Feiliton, you will go to Shanlin Town to negotiate with Luo Ning early tomorrow morning. Tell him that we are willing to compensate him for what we have taken from Shanlin Town over the years, and ask him not to tell Wushanbao about this matter."
"compensate?"
Feridon thought about this idea, then nodded slowly, "Sir, your idea is fine, but I don't know if Roning will agree to it."
"Only a fool would disagree!"
Lei Sen laughed. "If he chooses to tell Wushanbao about this, I will use my connections to get the nobles to help speak for him, and then I will pay some money to compensate Wushanbao, and the matter will be settled."
"But with this method, it is Wushanbao that gets the money, not Shanlin Town. But if Luo Ning agrees to settle this matter with me privately, it is Luo Ning who gets the money, not Wushanbao."
After saying this, he looked around at the knights present and asked with a smile, "Do you think Ronin would be stupid enough to not want this compensation?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Luo Ning shouldn't be that stupid, right? "In Luo Ning's eyes, we are not on a life-and-death basis with them. Instead of letting Wushanbao take the money, it's better for him to take the money himself."
Knight Feridon exclaimed: "Your Excellency's method is very ingenious!"
The reason why they judged that there was no mortal hatred between the two parties was mainly because the two sides had been living in peace for a period of time in the afternoon.
If there was a mortal feud, with Ronin's character, under the protection of the high-level knights, a conflict would definitely arise.
"Okay, I'll leave the matters of Hillwood Town to you. I'll talk about the follow-up matters when I come back."
To Baron Leisen, Hillwood Town will eventually belong to him. It was previously managed by Princet, but now it is just in Ronin's hands for a while.
He stood up and said, "Lord Orson's birthday is coming soon. I will leave for Black Python City tomorrow. This time, Unai will take two knights with me. Feridon, you and the others will stay in the territory."
The "Lord Orson" he was talking about was the Border Earl Orson Hyde. Black Python City was the central city of the Hyde Family, and it was quite a distance away from the Sean Territory.
Lei Sen went to attend the Earl's birthday party. On the one hand, he was invited, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to meet friends, build relationships, and have a good exchange with certain people.
Compared with attending the birthday party, the things happening in Shanlin Town are not on the same level of importance.
"Alright, let's go. Feridon, come with me and get the agreement."
Baron Leisen strode out of the hall.
