Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning
Chapter 319: Wushanling's New Meteor Knight
The next day, the king will hold a martial arts competition at Princess Blanche's birthday party. This matter blew through the entire Golden Feather City like the wind.
In principle, only nobles attending the banquet will be considered for this tournament.
However, perhaps in order to show his people-friendly side, Bruno specially gave several places to the extraordinary knight academies in Golden Feather City and Niujiao Bay. At the same time, professional knights in the knights who met the requirements were also specially allowed to participate.
Tournaments are always an opportunity for knights to show off their talents.
The higher the standard of the tournament, the more opportunities there may be.
For a knight with an ordinary background but extraordinary strength, if he can win the favor of a certain big shot in a tournament, it may be an opportunity to change his destiny.
Therefore, many people are preparing for this martial arts competition.
𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗻𝗲𝘁]
In the early morning, Cross Vera returned to his family's manor in Golden Feather City early with a lot of resentment.
At this moment, Hamand had just finished breakfast, packed his clothes and prepared to enter the palace, but he did not expect that his nephew was being helped back.
"Oh, Cross, what's wrong with you?" he asked in horror, "Why are you still injured in the palace?"
Cross was injured and didn't sleep well last night. Even the Silver Knight didn't look good.
He asked for money when he opened his mouth: "Uncle Hamand, I need gold coins!"
Hamand's expression changed.
As the eldest grandson of the Duke, Cross had a lot of gold coins on him, and it was perfectly fine to casually take out thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins.
But now that the other party is asking for it, it's obvious that what he needs is not just a small amount of money.
"What's going on?"
Next, Cross told the whole story.
Hamand frowned after hearing this, and finally couldn't help cursing: "The boy from Screaming Island is such a coward. He just needs to hold on and refuse to admit his guilt. Will His Majesty the King really put him in jail? Even if it is made public later. The trial, when you are so seriously injured, not only can we not give out a single gold coin, but we can even have a chance to cause some trouble to Luo Ning!"
Cross looked a little annoyed. When he came back to his senses, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He always felt that he had suffered a secret loss.
But now that the matter is over, they have all confessed, and it is impossible to overturn last night's decision.
He said angrily: "It's only thirty thousand gold coins, just think of it as buying medicine for Luo Ning."
After discussion last night, Cross and Facundo each contributed 30,000 gold coins, while Gregor, brother and sister, and Sally each contributed 10,000 gold coins.
"Thirty thousand gold coins is a small matter."
The four of them are old aristocrats who have been established for many years, and this little money is not a problem in their eyes.
"It's just that if we try to spread negative news about Luo Ning and affect the marriage between Bruno and the Wushan family, the possibility of success will be slim."
With all the fuss last night, news will definitely spread today, and it may be beneficial to Luo Ning.
The actual situation was exactly as Hamand expected.
Nowadays, there are many rumors about the four major families sponsoring the martial arts tournament.
Although the four major families' request for wallets was said to be sponsorship, the nobles who witnessed the conflict between them and Luo Ning yesterday had vague suspicions.
After all, the martial arts tournament was arranged on a temporary basis, and the person who paid for it was the one who caused the trouble. Who wouldn't make some connections?
As for Luo Ning, once he has more things to discuss, people's focus will be dispersed.
Although some people are still talking about his negative information, many people are praising his deeds of single-handedly challenging a group without losing.
Some people even vaguely speculated whether the champion of this martial arts tournament would be Luo Ning.
Under such circumstances, it would be of little use for Hamand and others to continue to make a fuss about Luo Ning's past romantic deeds and forcing Selena to die.
Like Cross, Facundo and others also returned to their families' manors in Golden Feather City.
After hearing his son's report, Myron snorted coldly: "What a confused thing. This is Bruno's little idea. You can't even understand it?"
Facundo lowered his head and defended himself weakly: "I was afraid that His Majesty would impose all the penalties on me and cause even greater trouble, so when I heard about the fine, I accepted."
"You think a lot!"
Myron smiled half-heartedly. Thinking that the other three families were as stupid as his son, he suddenly felt better again.
"Forget it, it's just 30,000 gold coins. Once you get it, you'll get out."
He didn't care about the money either, what he cared about more was Bruno's abnormal behavior.
"It seems that our King is determined to support the Wushan family this time. But can this family, which has been silent for thirty years, still be supported?"
He looked at the map of the kingdom hanging on the wall.
Many of the many islands in the Screaming Sea now belong to the Fleming family.
Even if the remaining small part is under the jurisdiction of the kingdom, his family still has influence on it.
Even on Waiheke Island, where prisoners are imprisoned, they are now establishing their own power on it.
But there are only so many large islands in the Screaming Sea, and after occupying them, they will eventually have to return to the wider land.
But now the kingdom's land pattern is basically fixed. In the absence of large-scale wars and the inability to establish enough meritorious deeds, there is no other good way to obtain new land except to find ways to occupy it.
Wushan Territory is vast and sparsely populated, and its owner is weak. Although the younger generation of the family has potential, they have not grown up. It is obviously a good choice.
Wushan Castle.
"Master, Baron Melonica is here." Most said respectfully.
Lu Lans put down the letter in his hand and sat up straight: "Let him in."
The tall and burly figure walked into the study quickly, "My lord, you are looking for me."
Lu Lans smiled and motioned for the other party to sit down, "Congratulations, Melonica, after years of hard work, you finally broke through!"
Hearing this, Melonica also laughed. It has always been his dream to break through and become a meteor knight.
However, in front of Lu Lans, he still has a humble attitude.
"I have come to this step when I was nearly fifty years old. Compared with you, my lord, it is really too far."
He did not deliberately exaggerate.
Thirty years ago, the forty-five-year-old Lu Lans was already a long-established meteor knight, and he also created his own secret skills.
In this comparison, the gap between the two is indeed quite large.
Lu Lan Si then asked about the other party's situation after the breakthrough, and then slowly explained the purpose of the summons.
"There are two main reasons for calling you here this time."
He took out a heavy book from the drawer and handed it over: "The first thing is to give you a gift."
Melonika was stunned. Looking at the book, he had a guess in his mind, and his heart jumped.
He took the book and opened the cover. The title page was written with Lu Lan Si's original secret technique "Fire Dance Lightning Slash".
"Is this for me?" Melonika was a little excited.
Lu Lan Si nodded, "You have the same attributes as me, and you have shown a good talent in learning fighting skills. You should be able to master this secret technique."
Melonika closed the secret technique and then saluted respectfully: "Thank you for your generous gift!"
He didn't really care about the pursuit of the title.
On the contrary, he valued things that could improve his strength.
Secret techniques are not something that everyone can create, and such resources are often monopolized by great nobles and powerful forces. If you want to learn, you need to pay a lot.
Even the lord who has been following for a long time cannot give it to him casually.
He was saved by Lu Lans when he was young, and he has received many gifts along the way, and his heart is full of gratitude.
"The practice of secret skills cannot be achieved in one day. It requires your patience and perseverance. You must grasp every link to succeed. When practicing, you must also prevent your fighting spirit from running out and hurting yourself."
"I understand!"
Melonika really wants to go down and try it now.
"The second thing, I need you to go to Jinyu City."
Perhaps it was because he had been away from the fighting for too long, or perhaps Lu Lans knew that Luo Ning had a dragon, so he was not worried that the latter would be in danger at sea.
But he didn't expect Luo Ning to be assassinated on the way to Jinyu City.
"Ronin was assassinated at sea. The leading gold-level assassin was the one who assassinated Blanche in the Colosseum."
Melonika was shocked: "How is Ronin now?"
"He is fine now, in the Golden Feather Palace. But just in case, I need you to protect him."
"No problem!"
Melonika said without hesitation. He knew how important Ronin was in the old man's heart.
"Yeah!"
Lulansi nodded: "I have asked Vitorino's ship to wait for you. You can set off early tomorrow morning."
"No need to wait until tomorrow."
Melonika smiled and said: "My flame horse can still move like the wind at night."
Lulansi nodded, "Just decide."
Melonika came quickly and left even faster.
Lulansi thought of Golden Feather City. He hadn't set foot there for a long time. Even the contact station of Wushanbao in Golden Feather City was abandoned.
In fact, as the great nobles of the kingdom, basically all of them have contact stations in Golden Feather City.
On the one hand, he is responsible for contacting the royal family, and on the other hand, he needs to interact with other ministers and nobles, build relationships, and obtain intelligence.
However, with the decline of Wushan Castle in recent years, Wiggins doesn't care much about the affairs of the capital, and every year a huge amount of money is needed to buy magic potions to suppress the soul-eating, so Lu Lansi is powerless.
Now that Wushan Castle has a rising star, it is indeed possible to consider rebuilding the contact station.
"Forget it, let Roning do this."
Lu Lansi sighed.
He probably won't need the contact station in his lifetime, and his son Wiggins doesn't need it even more.
It's better to let Roning consider how to build it and decide how to use it. (End of this chapter)
