Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Luo Ning returned to his room in a daze, not because he drank too much, but because he was too tired from socializing with the endless stream of people who came up to greet him.

Under the service of Wushanbao servants, he took a bath and changed into clean clothes, and then he felt relaxed.

He called up the system and checked the achievement interface.

[Famous all over the world]: The title is not only a symbol of status, but also a manifestation of strength. Please work hard to become a Marquis, reward: attribute points +1500, energy essence +3000

"It's not easy to be a marquis."

If Luo Ning wants to become a Marquis, there are only two ways.

One is to inherit the position of Marquis of Wushan Castle.

Although Rulans is willing to let him regain his inheritance rights, having the inheritance rights and truly becoming a marquis are two different things.

In this world, generally speaking, only when a noble dies can his descendants inherit his title and territory.

In other words, if Ronin wants to become a marquis through inheritance, he must first wait for Rulans to die, and then wait for Wiggins to die.

Not to mention how long Rulans can live, take Wiggins as an example. Although he has a broken leg, with the physical strength of a senior knight, if there are no accidents, he will have no problem living for another twenty or thirty years. .

Luo Ning wants to boil Wiggins to death before inheriting the position of Marquis, which is probably forty or fifty years later.

What's more, he didn't want Lu Lansi to die at all.

As long as the soul-eating surge can be removed from the old Marquis's body, with Rulans Meteor-level strength, there is no problem in living for another few decades.

Therefore, this approach is not very feasible.

In addition to inheritance, the second way is canonization.

Rulans is a marquis, and he has no ability to confer the title of marquis on his vassals.

If Luo Ning wants to be granted the title of Marquis, he can only seek to perform meritorious service to the royal family so that His Majesty the King canonize him.

Although he is a vassal of Wushanbao, Wushanbao is loyal to the royal family of Alduin. In this case, he can serve as the earl of Wubei Territory while also loyal to the king and obtain additional fiefdoms from the royal family. .

The Earl of Wubei Territory and the Marquis of the Kingdom could theoretically happen.

"From this point of view, the marriage with Blanche is even more crucial."

Marrying Her Royal Highness the Princess will be of great help to Luo Ning.

If nothing else, at least it connected him with Alduin. Without Blanche, it would be difficult for Luo Ning to meet His Majesty the King.

"But even so, it's very difficult to become a marquis."

Ronin sighed.

From baron to viscount and then to earl, although he has established meritorious service, but with the blessing of status halo, Rulans opened a green channel for him, which allowed him to be promoted so quickly;

But if you put it on the kingdom level, if you want to become a marquis of the kingdom, there is no shortcut.

He didn't think Blanche had such great dignity to let His Majesty Bruno cheat for him.

"It seems that I will hold this title of earl for a long time."

Luo Ning glanced at the achievements [King of Slaughter] and [Prosperous Wealth], and then looked at the remaining two achievements:

[Prosperous population]: The registered population of the territory reaches 300, rewards: attribute points +600, energy essence +

[Siege City]: Own two cities at the same time, reward: attribute points +400, energy essence +800

The census estimate of Chishan Town has been completed, but the total population is still a little behind the estimate of 30,000.

But if all the people from the Boulder Territory, Wiggins, and Kabir are included, the population in Ronin's territory will definitely exceed the 50,000 mark.

Luo Ning felt a little embarrassed for himself when he thought that he, a count, had such a large territory but only had such a small population.

"Chishan Town has a population of more than 10,000 people. According to the system mechanism, it should meet the conditions for conquering the city. This achievement can be completed before setting off for Golden Feather City."

As for the census in the Boulder Territory, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a short time.

It would take at least ten days for the political officer Sailin to lead him from Wubei to the Boulder Territory.

"Ruidal needs to participate in and take over the Fifth Knights, and will also be stationed in Shore City in the future. The Boulder Territory has just been taken over by me, and I need trustworthy people to guard and coordinate the defense of Chishan Town."

Luo Ning thought about it for a while, and among the three men, he could only let Elrond sit in the Wubei Territory to lead and develop his magic potion experiment; let McCann take some people to the Boulder Territory to help defend Chishan Town.

As for the guard training in Wubei Territory, I am afraid it can only be left to Zhuweite, Sim and others who have been following McCann and Redal for a long time.

Although they are not as good as Redal and McCann, they are all professional knights and have participated in military discipline training. There should be no problem in initially training the guards of the Northern Territory.

As for actual combat, Rydal and McCann still need to come back from time to time to check the results and provide guidance.

The key is that there are fewer people under his command.

"I have to ask them two to bring me more people."

The figures of two senior knights, Joffrey and Rogner, flashed through Luo Ning's mind, but in the end he did not think of bringing them back.

Future wars will definitely take place in the south. Let them learn more from Redal and McCann. In the future, they can also travel to Wubei Territory and Boulder Territory to lead teams and guide training.

"Fortunately, there are no hostile forces around Wubei Territory. We only need to maintain law and order. Otherwise, we would not be able to allocate people."

dong dong~

There was a knock on the door.

Luo Ning frowned. Who else was looking for him so late?

But this time he didn't take David and Tom with him, so he had to open the door himself.

The door opened, only to see McKinney who had changed into a more casual dress.

"I haven't bothered you so late, my dear brother."

Luo Ning spread his hands: "Obviously you've disturbed me. I'm ready to sleep."

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

Luo Ning turned sideways and smiled: "Welcome."

He knew that McKinney must have something to talk about when he came so late, and he was quite curious.

"Tell me, sister, why are you looking for me so late?"

McKinney glanced into the bedroom, then sat down on the chair in the room: "You are much more stable than before. I thought you would sleep with your magician."

"Come on, Erin is just a fourteen-year-old girl."

"You can get married at the age of fourteen."

McKinney emphasized, and then said: "There is speculation that she is your lover."

Luo Ning shook his head helplessly: "I just brought her out to see the world and broaden her horizons. However, I can't help what people outside think."

There is a saying that goes well: right and wrong are forced by others, and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, and it will only get darker and darker.

"My mother died early and didn't teach you much. You didn't learn much before. Now I have to remind you. When your status improves, some things cannot be handled so casually."

McKinney said seriously: "You are about to marry Princess Blanche. Before the matter is finalized, if there are rumors that you have a little lover, even if this is not the case, it will bring disgrace to the royal family."

Her tone became solemn: "You have brought hope to the Wushan family. If this kind of thing affects your reputation and makes marriage no longer feasible, then it will be a huge loss to you and the Wushan family! "

Luo Ning frowned. Although it felt bad to be lectured, McKinney did make sense.

"Irene left the party very early. Did you say something to her?"

McKinney nodded: "She is very smart. I just mentioned the matter between you and Blanche, and she left the banquet hall quickly. Although you may blame me, I am really worried that you will invite her to dance and then do Doing things like kissing.”

Luo Ning sighed, "Your worries are unnecessary."

"That's best!"

McKinney smiled and said: "Many nobles have lovers, even your brother-in-law Kabir may have lovers, but don't let these things affect your future Ronin."

"Thank you for your advice, I will remember it."

Luo Ning did not blame the other party for talking nonsense, because the other party was also thinking about him.

"It's a pity that I originally planned to take Eileen to see the world, but I didn't expect that these rumors would affect my mood."

McKinney shook his head: "That little girl has feelings for you. I can see it. She's just a little confused. Maybe she didn't realize it, right?"

She stood up and said, "Okay, I've finished my words. I heard that you are leaving for Golden Feather City soon. I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Oh, by the way, during this time I have prepared the people Kabir promised you, a total of ten thousand. Please arrange for people to go to Brilliant City to take them away as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Luo Ning smiled: "Thank you, sister, and brother-in-law Kabir!"
