Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

After nearly two years of expansion, the permanent population of Wubeiling now exceeds 200,000.

And with the expansion of Ronin's influence, coupled with the reputation of Elrond, Redar and others in the outside world, as well as the endorsement of Bellora, more and more outstanding people have the idea of ​​coming to Wubei to seek opportunities.

Nowadays, this place is no longer like the original Shanlin Town. It is difficult to even find someone who can read.

As long as Roning needs it, it is not a problem to form a clerical team of a hundred people.

As a result, there were many new faces among the officials and knights that Ronin did not recognize.

He took advantage of his stay in Wubei Territory to get to know these new people in a cursory manner, and then inspected several important industries in Wubei Territory to provide guidance on the future development direction.

During this process, Luo Ning also realized that his energy was limited and it was impossible for him to grasp every detail.

After the scale has grown to a certain extent, what he should do is to control the direction of development.

Therefore, he decided to hold a large meeting in the territory every year, and the meeting would be attended by the governor, the commander of the knights, and major officials of each city.

It not only reports on the territory's business operations, but also facilitates the formulation and dissemination of new policies.

After staying in Wubei Territory for a few days, Roning returned to Moonlight Castle. At this time, Blanche, who had gone to Golden Feather Palace, had already returned.

"Well, what does your majesty say?"

Blanche had a smile on her face, and it looked like she was going to have some happy event.

"Father is full of praise for you!"

She smiled and said, "He said that it is my blessing to marry a man like you, and asked me to cherish him and give birth to a child for you as soon as possible so that the bloodline of the Wushan family can continue."

Luo Ning helplessly spread his hands: "We have been doing this, but there is no progress yet. But Blanche, I noticed that you have become naughty. You know that this is not what I am asking about."

"Haha~"

Blanche smiled and sat in Ronin's arms. "His Majesty agreed. He said that you are the strongest in the Kingdom of Alduin. You also killed two enemy generals for the kingdom. Your military exploits are outstanding. It will not be difficult for you to be promoted to Duke."

Luo Ning nodded slightly. "From your tone, I can tell there should be a but?"

"Yes!"

Blanche sighed, "My father said that he would discuss the matter of making you a duke in detail after you arrive at Misty Castle. I wanted him to tell me what was involved, but he didn't tell me."

The Duke must be somewhat special, and those who can sit in this position are mostly people with close ties to the royal family, such as brothers.

Like Andrea of ​​the Principality of Vera, although he was of a different surname, his spouse was the aunt of His Majesty the King. He ascended to the throne of Duke through years of bloody battles, the efforts of several generations, and the support of His Majesty Klinsmann.

Roning now basically has all the conditions: marriage with the royal family, military victory, accumulation of wealth, and the blessing of strength.

However, this does not mean that Bruno will give the title of Duke to Ronin without any hesitation. He will definitely discuss some cooperation matters.

Ultimately, it’s a question of interests.

"Thank you for your hard work this time!" Roning put his arm around Blanche's waist and stroked her hair with a smile.

"What's so hard about this? Carlos is much faster than a griffin. I can run back and forth from Moonlight Valley to Golden Feather City several times a day."

"It is an eighth-level magical beast after all. How can a griffin compare to it?"

Speaking of which, Roning has accumulated more than 20,000 energy essences, which is enough to upgrade Carlos to level nine.

However, in the battle of Misty City, he witnessed the limitations of the dragon, and after much thought, he still felt that it was necessary to first add a legendary level to his side.

According to Sofia, Legend and Jiaoyang have made a qualitative leap.

It has been said in the past that three Silver Moon Knights have a chance of defeating one Prideful Sun Knight, but three Prideful Sun Knights can never defeat a Legendary Knight.

What's more, with Carlos' current strength, it is more than enough to attack the city.

Therefore, Roning decided to use these more than 20,000 energy essences on Redal first.

After Roning and Blanche had some intimacy, they went to find Carlos.

There should be no siege battles in the short term. Now Ronin no longer relies on the dragon to travel between places. Relying on the wind shadow technique, his speed is not bad.

So he asked Carlos to return to Ubeteri to help Simon with welding, oh no, to make railroad tracks.

The dragon's ability to control fire will definitely help complete the railway project between Swamp Town and Wubei City as soon as possible.

A dragon that was imprisoned and autistic was not at all averse to such an arrangement, and Carlos enjoyed devoting himself to this creative work.

Soon, the end of the month arrived, and according to Bruno's arrangement, a celebration banquet for the soldiers on the front line would be held in Misty Castle.

Roning brought Blanche to the Misty Castle one day in advance.

There were not many nobles coming to Misty City this time, and most of them were nobles of all sizes who had participated in this war.

It is worth mentioning that Ronin did not find Garrett in the Misty Castle.

Through Blanche, we learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone to the Duchy of Ferensburg to help his uncle Ferens fight against the Duchy of Balaton.

This was probably Bruno's decision after the other party disobeyed his orders, but it didn't look like it hurt Garrett's face at all.

After all, the Battle of Misty Castle has just ended, and the enemy has rushed to a new battlefield without stopping. It can be said that they are fighting everywhere for the kingdom.

I believe that some people who know the inside story will not publicize Garrett's affairs.

"Haha, Roning, come here!"

As the border commander, Gu Shan was arranged to host the banquet after Bruno arrived.

"Almost all the nobles have arrived. Your grandfather is also in the hall talking. You are the only one missing!"

As he spoke, he also greeted Blanche who was standing beside him.

"I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect to be the latest."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is very interested in this celebration banquet."

When Luo Ning arrived in the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Lu Lans nodded in appreciation with great satisfaction.

This is his sad place. If it weren’t for the purpose of coming here to witness his grandson’s glorious moment, he would still be reluctant to come to this place.

After a brief reunion, Roning received an invitation from His Majesty the King.

But on the way there, Lulans found Roning.

"I didn't expect that, with just one battle, your achievements have surpassed what I have achieved in most of my life!"

Lulans patted Roning's shoulder and the two of them strolled on the lawn.

"Your Majesty is looking for you this time because of the promotion, right?"

Roning nodded and told her that he had asked Blanche to go to the Golden Feather Palace.

In this regard, Lu Lans' eyes were full of relief. Now there was less and less things he could point fingers at when Roning was doing things.

"I wanted to remind you of something, but now it seems that there is not much to remind you, but there is one more thing..."

He paused and said, "During the negotiation, even if he is the king and your father-in-law, there are some things that need to be insisted on."

Lu Lan Si smiled and said: "In the more than 200 years since the establishment of the Kingdom of Alduin, there has never been a Sun Knight, not to mention that your subordinate Redar is also a Sun Knight. This is your capital and your confidence."

"Don't worry, Grandpa."

Luo Ning knew that Lu Lans was worried that he would be bound by something. After all, both of them had the idea of ​​giving the surname Wushan the title of king.

"By the way, the Heiyu family recently contacted me about Bretton and William's daughter Lilith. Wiggins and Diane both thought it was a good idea. What do you think?"

Roning was a little surprised. He didn't expect William to be so fast.

He thought for a moment and said, "The Heiyu family has a rich heritage. Not only does it control the Heiyu mine, it also possesses unique forging technology. Now that Viscount Willis has died in battle, their family is missing a pillar and is inevitably coveted by outsiders. A marriage between the Wushan and Heiyu families will benefit both sides."

"I've also seen that Lilith. She is indeed talented in magic and is worthy of Breton."

Lu Lansi smiled and said, "So you agree?"

Roning nodded slightly. "I have no objection, but the most important thing is to see what Bretton thinks. If he agrees..."

"Haha, he follows our arrangements."

Lu Lans smiled and said, "Breaton is a more honest kid, he doesn't have as many ideas as you."

Luo Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why does it sound like you are saying bad things about me? Am I not honest?"
