Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

hum~

In front of the cave in the strange valley, the earth trembled, and several earth walls rose quickly, completely sealing the entrance to the cave.

Carlos, who was taking a nap not far away, couldn't help but feel excited when he saw that the place where he had been imprisoned for so many years was finally closed.

When they were in the cave yesterday, Luo Ning asked it if it wanted to use this underground palace as a lair for Carlos, but it refused without hesitation.

This place is the shadow of its dragon life. It would rather be outside in the wind and rain than go in again.

After sealing the entrance to the cave, the group officially returned, ending this special mission that lasted eight or nine days.

Ronin did not go with the team.

After a night's rest and two meals of roasted wild boar to replenish his strength, Carlos's condition recovered a bit, and Luo Ning sat on the back of the dragon and flew all the way back to Hillwood Town.

He watched the mountains and rivers changing rapidly before his eyes, feeling relaxed and happy for a moment.

When they arrived, they traveled through the dense forest, and it took them nearly five days to arrive outside the strange valley.

Now sitting on the dragon's back, Luo Ning could vaguely see the direction of the town in a moment.

"That side is the Wushan Warcraft Mountain Range."

Luo Ning pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "There are many monsters there. If you are hungry, you can look for food there."

Carlos cheered happily, and the sound penetrated the clouds and reached below, startling the birds to fly up.

Its wings of frost and fire can finally fly freely in the sky and the earth, and can finally choose its own food!

Luo Ning continued to give other instructions, such as not eating people, trying to avoid high-level monsters, etc.

At the same time, he also considered finding a place to the west of Shanlin Town as the dragon's lair.

High-level monsters all have their own territory, not to mention giant dragons.

By then, relying on the power of the dragon, I am afraid that the group of monsters will be able to be frightened, so that they will not dare to invade Shanlin Town easily.

In this way, McCann and others no longer need to lead the team to patrol the Black Iron Forest area every now and then, and do not have to worry all day long about the people working in the iron wood workshop being attacked by monsters.

Soon, a man and a dragon fell down the hillside.

"Okay, remember my instructions and don't get me into trouble."

He patted Carlos on the head and said, "I will summon you if something happens. Now, go on your own."

"Good host!"

Carlos couldn't wait to spread his wings, flew into the air in a gust of wind, and quickly disappeared.

Looking in that direction, Carlos should be heading towards the Wushan Warcraft Mountains.

"It looks like we're going to have a good meal."

Luo Ning smiled and shook his head. Not long after descending the hill, he reached the mountain road.

This road connects Shanlin Town and Qingzhu Village.

During the winter last year, Luo Ning encouraged the people in the area to develop trees for the winter, and a long road had been opened here.

And the felling is still continuing, and it is estimated that it will almost reach Qingzhu Village by the end of the year.

"It's the Lord!"

"Come and meet the lord!"

When Luo Ning passed a wheat field, the leaders who were working in the field noticed his figure.

Although the quality of life of the residents of Shanlin Town has not improved significantly today, they at least have a relatively stable living environment compared to before.

The policies promulgated by Shanlimbao are communicated by the village chiefs of each village, so that every citizen has a clear understanding.

They know what their tasks are, and they also know what they will get after they put in the effort.

In view of the lord's kindness, generosity, and many times he will practice what he says, they are willing to believe in these policies of the lord.

Among other things, they are very happy to implement the recently promulgated policy on pregnant women.

While expanding the family size, they can also apply for three hundred kilograms of grain and other rights from the lord's mansion. Many people in the lords want to have children because of this.

Some singles, unable to find wives in the town, also set their sights on slaves. Anyway, the lord said that slaves can also get married.

As for the status of slaves, they don't care. Anyway, as long as they work for the lord for ten years, they can become serfs. Even if they have children in the future, they can get rid of the status of slaves. They don't have to worry about the lord pulling their children out and selling them.

Facing the enthusiastic residents, Luo Ning stopped to greet them and at the same time encouraged them, hoping that everyone could live and work in peace and contentment, and life in Shanlin Town would get better and better.

After walking and stopping all the way, it was already close to noon when we arrived at Shanlimbao.

Hillwood Castle is relatively quiet now. Both Eileen and Black Tiger have moved to Swamp Town, learning potion making with her mother Jenny following Elrond's footsteps.

Moreover, the environment in Swamp Town is more suitable for Erin to practice.

"Sir, why are you back?" Chahar, the housekeeper, happened to be at Shanlin Fort.

"The matter is over and I'm back early."

Luo Ning said: "Let the kitchen prepare lunch. Also, has Rogner come back?"

"Knight Rogner is in town. He has brought more than 500 people that Anthony gathered from Baron Kona to Hillwood Town, and Wilson is settling them in."

"In addition, Pearson and his caravan have also returned from Wushan City. The ironwood armor and weapons sold this time earned a total of 272 gold coins, all of which are placed in the drawer of your study."

The ironwood workshop's production capacity has increased, and Galil's order has been completed ahead of schedule. It just so happened that Rognar was escorted to Wushan City during this trip.

"Also, the letter bird brought a letter from Wushanbao."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up. It has been a while since the messenger bird's birdway was successfully built, and it was finally possible to communicate with the outside world through letters.

"Where is the letter?"

"It's on the table in your study."

Luo Ning came to the study. The letter was packed in a linen bag. When he opened it, he found a piece of parchment with a lot of words written on it. From the handwriting, he knew it was from Lulans.

After reading it, the first part is a greeting. It may be that Lulans is getting old, or the backlash of the Soul-Eating Surge has made him not in a good condition, and he seems a bit verbose.

But as mentioned later, May 25th was coming soon. He hoped that Luo Ning could go to Wushanbao to celebrate his birthday this year, and also asked him to think about the possibility of getting engaged to Blanche.

"I didn't expect it would be my birthday soon."

Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh. He had forgotten about this matter.

"The old man can't move easily, so I'll go there just to see him."

Now that the affairs of the territory are proceeding in an orderly manner, Luo Ning's absence for a period of time will not have any impact.

As for the engagement with Blanche, it seems that Her Royal Highness has positive intentions.

Luo Ning did not resist this kind of marriage. After all, Blanche was not ugly and had a good personality.

The key is identity. Marrying the princess of the kingdom will bring him another identity.

Luo Ning thought for a while, took out a piece of parchment, and began to reply to Lulans.

But I just mentioned that I would go back to Wushanbao to celebrate my birthday, and I would talk about the engagement later.

"Dong, dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Rogerna pushed the door open and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, sir!"

"I just heard from Chahar that you are back, so I came here to report."

"Thank you for your hard work, Rogerna."

Luo Ning smiled and said: "Kurami is still on his way back. It will probably take four or five days to get to Black Earth Town."

"Thank you for taking care of Kurami."

"I didn't take care of her. She was performing tasks in the forest and the conditions were terrible."

Luo Ning smiled and said: "You have a fiancée who is very strong. When are you going to get married?"

Rogerna scratched his head, seemingly not ready.

"We originally planned it for this year, but after discussing it with Kurami, we planned to build a small courtyard in Swamp Town. When it is completed, we can talk about the wedding."

They are now considered to have left their own families, so the wedding will naturally be held in their respective homes.

"That's no problem. Just tell Wilson which piece of land you like, and we'll give it to you for free."

Luo Ning smiled and said: "The wedding can be held at Swamp Castle then!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

Rogner smiled and thanked him, then calmed his expression and said seriously: "Sir, I got some information when I went out this time, and I need to convey it to you."

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. Last time, Rogner brought about the trial of Baron Leisen. What information did he bring this time?

"You said."

"I heard that in the southwest of Wushan Territory, the Boland Bandits have been restless since April."

Rogner said: "Many people have speculated whether this group of thieves is going to cause trouble at the border again."
