Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Golden Feather City and Niujiao Bay are the two most important cities in the Kingdom of Alduin. Not only do they have developed transportation, but they are also densely populated with messenger birds that transmit messages between various places.

Especially when something important happens, messenger birds fly high in the sky almost in droves.

After Luo Ning came out of the Niujiao Bay port, his information was sent out. Missy, who was entrusted by Blanche to inquire, was just one of them.

Of course, he didn't know this.

Under the arrangement of Commercial Officer Qiao Li, the group of them stayed at the Dennis family's manor in Niujiao Bay, preparing to set off from here to Golden Feather City early the next morning.

royal palace.

This magnificent building with exquisite craftsmanship is the palace of His Majesty the King.

Even at night, it is still as bright as day.

The tall and burly His Majesty Bruno sat on the throne, listening to the knight reporting on the nobles who came to Niujiao Bay Port today.

"These guys..."

Bruno laughed angrily.

Although most of the kingdom's nobles who are closer to Golden Feather City attended Blanche's birthday party, the people present were either a generation older than Blanche, were already engaged or married men, or were brought directly by their elders. daughter,

Anyway, there were no single men of the right age, as if they were afraid that the King would betroth Blanche to them as soon as he pleased.

"This Luo Ning is beyond my expectation."

Bruno picked up Luo Ning's information, which recorded that Luo Ning commanded the noble coalition on behalf of Wushanbao to exterminate the Polish bandits, as well as the latest information coming from Niujiao Bay today.

When he agreed to Rulans' request, it was partly because of his personal relationship with Rulans;

On the other hand, seeing that Wushan, an established family, had not yet been married to the royal family, he also wanted to take the opportunity to arrange his own influence there.

Of course, a small part of it is out of helplessness about Blanche's current situation.

If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was almost 20 and her marriage had not yet settled, which would damage his political image, he would rather choose Brayton than agree to Ronin, a person who was deprived of his inheritance rights.

Originally, he wanted to add some meritorious deeds to Luo Ning to improve his qualifications, but he did not expect that the latter would turn from the baron of Shanlin Town to the earl of Wubei Territory so quickly by relying on his own strength.

Although Luo Ning's status cannot be compared with that of the kingdom's earl, it is at least much higher than that of the young baron.

"Arsenault, do you think our Marquis deliberately concealed Luo Ning's talent and deliberately let the outside world think that Luo Ning is a waste who cannot practice?"

"Probably!"

Below, Minister of State Arsenault nodded in agreement.

"When Grimes died in the battle, many people were involved. Most of them did not want the Wushan family to have two extremely talented meteor knights."

He added in his mind: "Rulans probably also knew this reason, so after Luo Ning showed his talent, he deliberately hid it."

More than thirty years ago, Rulans himself was very talented, and his son Grimes was even more talented than others. This would naturally arouse the envy and envy of others.

Everyone was happy to see the weakening of this family, including King Alduin IV, Bruno's father, King Klinsmann.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the suppression was too severe. Not only did Grimes die, but Rulans himself was also deposed. This caused the Wushan Territory to be in a period of turmoil for the past thirty years.

It is entirely possible for Lu Lansi to hide Luo Ning in the snow.

"Does he think the time is right for him to ask Luo Ning to stand up now?"

Bruno tapped the armrest.

Ronin's talent is undoubtedly very strong, even compared to his son Garrett. From this point of view, he is worthy of the princess.

But for Bruno, it would be better if Luo Ning could re-inherit the Wushan Territory. His political chips would be higher and his rule would be stronger.

"Tell me, who is behind the assassination of Luo Ning and his group?"

Arsenault glanced at the king, then shook his head, "It's hard to say."

He added: "It's possible for anyone."

Although he is a trusted minister, Arsenault does not dare to speak lightly without evidence, as this can easily offend others.

Bruno rubbed his eyebrows and said, "These guys are really a headache."

Among those great nobles, except Grand Duke Jistana, the rest were all guys who were unwilling to be ordinary.

To be honest, Bruno's performance in governing the country and his strength was mediocre. His ability to successfully inherit the kingdom was mainly due to his status as the eldest son. There will always be people who are dissatisfied.

Although under the system of primogeniture, these nobles would not rebel and seize the throne, but it was still common to compete and fight with the kingdom in many areas such as economic interests.

The assassination of Luo Ning may be for the purpose of disrupting the Wushan Territory, or it may be that he wants to weaken his authority as the king and make Blanche become his joke.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see you!" the guard came in to report.

Bruno raised his eyebrows. His daughter, who rarely appeared in public, was free to come to the palace today.

"Let her in."

Soon, Blanche came in and offered polite and respectful greetings.

"Blanche, my daughter, why do you have time to come to me?"

Blanche was a little embarrassed, but she still said bravely: "Father, I heard that Luo Ning was attacked by the White Whale Pirates at sea."

Bruno smiled slightly, he knew what his daughter was worried about.

"Don't worry, he is not injured. He is resting in Niujiao Bay now. He will probably arrive at Golden Feather City tomorrow night. After I summon him, I will arrange for you to meet."

Blanche didn't express too many opinions on this matter. After all, she couldn't act so impatient in front of outsiders.

"Luo Ning saved me last time in Wushanbao. This time when I came to attend my birthday party, I was attacked by pirates. This must be a premeditated assassination!"

She said: "Please also uphold justice for Luo Ning and send troops to destroy the White Whale Pirate Group!"

"I understand your anger over what happened to your friend. But my daughter, you have to understand that pirates are like bedbugs. You will feel uncomfortable if you don't kill them, but if you want to kill them, you are worried about whether they will Smell yourself with your stinky farts.”

This is also the reason why Bruno doesn't want to clear out the pirates. In the past, when the pirates were making trouble, he would ask the Earl family of Screaming Island to send troops to clear out the pirates. The royal fleet was not dispatched often.

When he said this, his heart moved and the topic changed.

"However, this time Luo Ning seems to have captured the deputy leader and captain of the pirate group. We may be able to use them to find the base of the White Whale Pirate Group and eliminate them."

Arsenault echoed: "There should indeed be a crackdown on this group of pirates. Otherwise, it will not only encourage their arrogance, but also make them mistakenly believe that the royal family is unable to deal with them."

The "they" he said naturally didn't just refer to pirates, but also to the group of people who cooperated with pirates and even supported them.

"Blanqi, please go down first. I will consider this matter for your friend."

"Yes, Father!" Blanche bowed slightly and left the hall.

"I'm going to let Luo Ning do the job of wiping out the White Whale Pirates," Bruno said.

As an assistant who has been with the king for more than ten years, Arsenault immediately guessed the other party's intention and couldn't help but smile.

"To get your favor and active support, I can only say that Luo Ning is very lucky."

He was right, Bruno really wanted to help Luo Ning become stronger.

Because in this way, Wushan Territory will get out of decadence and have a chance to compete with the major forces in the east of the kingdom, instead of just being a delicacy on the menu like it is now.

Luo Ning became stronger and it was beneficial to Bruno to let Luo Ning fight with them.

"Luo Ning is now qualified to be supported by me."

Bruno thought for a while and said: "One Beluga pirate group is not enough. You can help me look for it and see if there is anything else that can be left to him."
