Chapter 38 Baron Leisen's Countermeasures
Chapter 38 Baron Leisen's Countermeasures
The night was quiet.
Roning was waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the morning while thinking about how to deal with the Sean Territory.
It is always not safe to rely on fabricating that McKen is a high-level peak knight.
In the location of Shanlin Town, if you want to go out, you will pass by the side of Sean Territory. Once the other party intercepts, it is equivalent to catching a turtle in a jar, which is very passive.
"I have analyzed it before. Baron Leisen is afraid of two things. One is that he is afraid that Wushan Fort will know about the embezzlement of Shanlin Town's tax revenue, and the other is that Wushan Fort will know about the killing of me."
Roning lay on the bed with his palms on his head. After thinking about it, he still felt that he needed to use the power of Wushan Fort to deter the other party.
"Let Wushan Fort know about the other party's embezzlement of tax revenue first, and then hold the second thing in hand."
The reason why Roning did not want to tell Wushan Fort about Leisen's plot to kill him was that he wanted to keep Sean Territory and spit it out when the time was right.
As for when the time is right?
That would be when he was able to kill Baron Leisen and bring Sein County under his own name.
Once Wushan Castle knew that Sein County had done such a thing, it would certainly send someone to investigate. At that time, Baron Leisen should be too busy dealing with this matter and would have no time to take care of Shanlin Town.
This would give Ronin a long buffer time.
"We have to send someone out to deliver the message tomorrow."
The professional knight needed to stay with Ronin, so it was obviously impossible to send him out. Ronin could only choose two guards to deliver the message.
"With ordinary war horses, they can set out quickly through the woods during the day, and the danger should not be great. Let them go to Lake Town to borrow the Green family's messenger bird to deliver a letter to Wushan Castle. Baron German would not refuse, right?"
The messenger bird is a tool for transmitting information in this world, a bit like a carrier pigeon.
It is about 50 cm long, fast and has high endurance. It is said that it can fly a thousand miles a day.
By delivering the message, the matter of Shanlin Town can be brought to Wushan Castle in one day.
Luo Ning also wanted to get a few messenger birds, but this thing needs special people to train. It can't be used just by catching it. The messenger birds must remember the locations of both ends.
Time passed slowly while thinking, and soon it was midnight.
Unknowingly, 14 days had passed since Luo Ning came to this world, and he received the second heart-warming gift box by signing in.
[Attribute points +25]
[Energy essence +25]
Compared with the last time, this heart-warming gift box has 5 more attribute points and energy essence.
It really... is more heart-warming.
Luo Ning spent all his attribute points on the magician level with ease, and now the progress has reached 101/150.
With the current amount of mental power and mana, he can perform the wind spell 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 when cleaning.
"It will only take more than a week for me to complete the magician's progress, and then I can break through to the intermediate level."
As long as he breaks through to the intermediate level, Ronin can learn the wind blade spell.
That day, Pedro used the wind blade spell to kill the captain of the knights of Lake Town by sneak attack. Learning this spell has greatly improved Ronin's overall strength.
"When all the energy and spirit are invested in McKen tomorrow, his knight level progress will reach 95/200, which is halfway to becoming a real advanced level."
As long as he can delay the Sean Lord and make the other party unable to take care of Shanlin Town for a period of time, Ronin still has a lot of room for operation.
At the same time, the hall of Baron Leisen of Sean Lord.
The magic crystal lamp shines brightly, illuminating the hall.
If Ronin was there, he would probably think he was back on Earth.
Magicians are rare, and magicians who can make magic creations are even rarer.
So this makes magic items expensive. For example, Baron Leisen's magic crystal lamp requires at least hundreds of gold coins to buy.
This is just to buy the "lamp shell", which uses magic crystals and magic cores as energy, and this also requires a lot of gold coins.
Therefore, those who can use magic crystal lamps are often nobles, and they are relatively wealthy and willing to spend this kind of "scene money".
Lei Sen is such a scene person.
Showing off his splendor and showing off his wealth all the time is one of his favorite things to do.
"Sir, our information is wrong. Ronin is protected by high-level peak knights. We can't guarantee that we can definitely kill him, so we didn't do it."
Knight Feridon was making a report, "And the group of guards under his command don't seem to be ordinary soldiers. I guess Lord Lu Lans still values his own bloodline."
Baron Lei Sen, who was sitting above, turned the huge dark blue emerald ring on his finger and digested the results brought back by the knights.
To be honest, he didn't expect it.
"You're right. Wiggins obviously hates Ronin, but Lord Lulans values bloodline very much."
He couldn't help but laugh when he said this, "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 arranged a high-level knight to protect a useless grandson like Ronin."
Firidon echoed, "After all, Ronin has Wushan's blood in his body, maybe he has a chance to give birth to a powerful extraordinary person?"
"Hehe, then he should treat Ronin as a stud, let him linger in bed every day, and have more children."
Deputy Unai laughed: "Isn't Ronin that kind of person? But I doubt that he has slept with so many women but has not given birth to a child. Will he be useless like his father?"
"Hahaha~"
In the hall, Leisen and several knights laughed together.
When the laughter gradually stopped, Feridon put on a more worried face.
"My lord, although Ronin did not learn from Prince and others that we wanted to murder him, after he entered Shanlin Town, he must know that we have gained a lot of benefits from Shanlin Town over the years."
He paused and continued: "If he told Wushan Castle about this, it might not be a good thing for you."
"I have thought of this matter and have a way to deal with it!"
Baron Leisen was not panicked at all, as if this matter was easy to solve.
"Feiliton, you will go to Shanlin Town to negotiate with Ronin early tomorrow morning. Just say that we are willing to compensate him for what we have taken from Shanlin Town over the years, and ask him not to tell Wushan Castle about this matter."
"Compensation?"
Feiliton thought about this method, and then nodded slowly, "Your Excellency's method is okay, but I don't know if Ronin will agree."
"Only a fool would disagree!"
Leisen laughed, "If he chooses to tell Wushan Castle about this matter, I will find some connections and ask the nobles to help talk, and then pay some money to compensate Wushan Castle, and this matter will be settled."
"But in this way, Wushan Castle gets the money, not Shanlin Town. But if Ronin agrees to settle this matter with me privately, he will get the money, not Wushan Castle."
After speaking, he looked around the knights present and asked with a smile: "Do you think Ronin would be stupid enough not to want this compensation?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Ronin shouldn't be that stupid, right?
"In Ronin's eyes, we are not in a life-and-death relationship with them. Instead of letting Wushanbao take the money, it is better for him to take the money himself."
Knight Feridon praised: "Your Excellency's method is very ingenious!"
The reason why they judged that there was no deadly hatred between the two sides was mainly because the two sides lived in peace for a period of time in the afternoon.
If there was a deadly hatred, with Ronin's character, under the protection of senior knights, there would definitely be a conflict.
"Okay, the affairs of Shanlin Town will be handed over to you, and the follow-up matters will be discussed when I come back."
For Baron Leisen, Shanlin Town will eventually belong to him. It was previously managed by Princet, and now it is nothing more than being in Ronin's hands for a period of time.
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 him. Feridon, you and the others will stay in the territory."
The "Lord Orson" he mentioned was the border earl Orson Hyde. Black Python City was the central city of the Hyde family, and it was a long way from the Sean Territory.
Leisen 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 a birthday party, the affairs of Shanlin Town are not as important as attending a birthday party.
"Okay, let's go. Feridon, come with me and get the agreement."
Baron Leisen strode out of the hall.
