Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Luo Ning walked out of Lu Lans' room and took a deep breath.

On the way here, he was worried that some twists and turns would occur, causing Elrond's magic to be unable to purify the old man's Soul-Devouring Surge. Now, the stone in his heart has finally fallen to the ground.

"What are you and grandpa talking about? You look so happy."

McKinney came forward and naturally took Roning's arm, "We haven't heard Grandpa laugh so happily in a long time."

Kabir also wonders.

Not only was there laughter, he also just felt a powerful aura and magical fluctuations coming from the room. Based on his intuition, that was definitely not something that could be emitted by a Golden Knight or a high-level magician.

He couldn't help but look at Elrond who was following beside him. Why did Ronin bring this magician with light attributes here? Could it be?

Roning laughed. According to Lulans's plan just now, he was going to wait until he broke through and became a Silver Moon Knight before considering announcing the news of his recovery to the public.

So Roning was reluctant to tell the details.

"We were just chatting about some of the things we saw and heard in Golden Feather City. The old man has a low sense of humor."

He changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the 10,000 people you gave me. It helped me a lot."

“It’s all little things.”

Kabir wisely did not voice his doubts. "If there are any difficulties in the development of Wubei Territory, you can tell me or your sister. Hey, Vitorino in Pointe City can cooperate with you to build a port, and we can also find a project to run together."

"Haha, that's exactly what I want."

A few people chatted and laughed, and left the courtyard.

Not long after, Lu Lans walked out habitually with a cane and went straight to the back of the mountain.

His surging fighting spirit overflowed from his body, and he was like a wild horse running wildly on the mountain path.

On the top of the mountain, the Thunder Wind Chaser Beast, sensing the aura of its master, roared and rushed down with thunder.

Although Lu Lans has not recovered, he needs to vent the emotions that have been suppressed for so many years.

……

In the Wushanbao auditorium, Diane was holding a list and taking stock of the preparations for the upcoming banquet.

Ever since she saw the reality clearly the last time she went back to her parents' home, she has not expressed any opinions on the issue of heirs. As an ordinary person, she has no right to get involved in the fights between extraordinary people.

After getting over her paranoia, not only did her rationality return, but her life also seemed to become easier.

Even Rulans seemed to care less about her and was willing to let her handle many things inside and outside the castle.

"Madam, Master Roning wants to see you." Hallward came over and reported.

Dai Anni was startled at first, "Ronin is back?"

Then she became confused because the other party had never formally looked for her as a stepmother, and this was the first time.

She couldn't help but be curious about what the other party wanted to talk to her about.

"Take him to the side hall. I'll be there soon."

Diane made a mark on the list in her hand, then gave the maids some instructions, tidied her appearance, and came to the side hall.

"Welcome home, Luo Ning. When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived, ma'am."

Roning stood up. From their recent meetings, he could sense the changes in the other party's attitude and psychology. He estimated that the situation where Bretton was forced to oppose him would not happen again.

This is something Lulans doesn't want to see, but fortunately Roning won't do that, and Bretton doesn't have any thoughts in this regard.

"It seems that Breton hasn't come back yet?"

Diane smiled and gestured for him to sit down. "Breaton shouldn't be back until the morning of the day after tomorrow. The academy organized a wilderness trial in the past two months and has been busy until now."

Perhaps she was not used to talking to Roning, so she couldn't help asking, "Just now, Hallward said you came to see me. I was a little surprised. As far as I can remember, you never took the initiative to look for me."

Luo Ning smiled awkwardly. It seemed that they needed more communication in their relationship so as to avoid looking for each other when something happened in the future.

"I want you to do me a favor this time."

As he spoke, he came to the table nearby and opened a few wooden boxes, inside which were neatly arranged a hundred high-footed cups.

"This is?"

Dai Anni looked puzzled and couldn't help but reach out and pick up a cup, "Is this wine glass pottery?"

She shook her head secretly, it seemed that pottery could not achieve such an effect.

"This is porcelain, a specialty of Wubei Territory. I want you to use this batch of high-footed cups at the upcoming banquet so that the guests can get in touch with this kind of utensils."

Dai Anni suddenly realized that this banquet was used to promote Wu Bei Ling's products to the outside world.

She couldn't help but look closely at the cup in her hand.

This thing is not only small and exquisite, but also feels no smoother than finely polished silver utensils. The key point is that the pattern on the cup does not look like it is painted on.

"This cup is very unique. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "As for the price, it has not been determined yet. But it is definitely more expensive than ordinary ceramic cups, but for this set, the price is not as high as the silver cups."

Long-distance trade and transportation difficulties are one of the main reasons why porcelain was expensive in medieval Europe. The transportation conditions here in Ronin are not good, but they are not enough to make the price of porcelain outrageously expensive.

Of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the craftsmanship and gloss of this batch of high-footed cups.

Therefore, he temporarily set the price between ceramic cups and silver cups, which could provide a new option for those nobles who could not customize silver tableware but thought ceramic cups were too rustic.

Dai Anni looked at it for a while, put the cup back, and said with a smile: "Your cup should have a certain sales volume, but if the pattern on it is more colorful and the painting technique is improved, I think it will have a better price."

Luo Ning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that his stepmother was quite knowledgeable about the product and she pointed out two key points at once.

"We are still researching the pigments, after all, they are not the same as those used in painting. As for the painting techniques, you know that for a poor and remote area in the north of Wu, being able to paint leaves to this level is already very good."

Dai Anni hesitated for a moment, "How about I find someone who is good at painting for you?"

She explained: "When I'm bored, I like to plant flowers and plants, and sometimes I go out to sketch with some friends."

In fact, for Diane, she knew that Roning’s influence in Wushan Territory was becoming more and more important.

Apart from anything else, the three viscounts of Wushan Territory sent their sons to Wubei Territory for training. This shows that the other party's status is no longer what it used to be.

Let’s look at her parents’ home.

When Breton first obtained the inheritance rights, many nobles and knights in Wushan Territory intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Black Python City.

But with her father's cultivation being crippled by Lu Lan Si, and Luo Ning's rapid rise, Black Python City is now in danger of being isolated.

So, whether for Breton or for himself, it is not a bad thing to help Ronin.

Luo Ning didn't expect the other party to offer to help him, but he didn't mind the other party's help.

Paintings on porcelain can be regarded as an art form with unique aesthetic value. The technique, style and theme of the painting will directly affect the overall beauty and artistic value of the porcelain.

Generally speaking, porcelain with superb painting skills, unique style and clear themes will naturally be more expensive.

Ronin needs people who are good at painting, and not just one, but a group.

"It would be my honor to get your help, ma'am!"

Diane laughed. "But I have to say it, whether it's me or my friend, helping you is not free."

"Hahaha, that's natural."

Luo Ning smiled and said, brothers should settle accounts clearly, it is not a long-term solution to blindly ask others for free help.

The two had a more detailed discussion on this issue and basically decided that Diane would open a studio in Wushan City to train technical workers.

As for the share of profits and remuneration for future cooperation, Luo Ning will let Chahar set the prices based on the different painting skills.

Luo Ning didn't expect that he just came to ask Dai Anni for help, but in the end he abducted his stepmother to work for Wu Beiling, and it was a technical job.

What a surprise.

Soon, Hallwart knocked on the door and walked in, "Madam, Sir Omer is here with his son Vasily."

Diane frowned slightly. As expected, none of the direct descendants of the Hyde family came this year.

She knew that Orson and Barrington could never let go of their resentment towards Rulans.

The current relationship between the two families is just to maintain superficial peace. If there is any conflict in the future, her role as a middleman will be really awkward.

"I'll be there right away."

She greeted Roning and then walked over. "Holwart, please accept the cups Roning brought. I plan to use them at the banquet."

"Okay, ma'am."
