Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

Chapter 143 The Motto of the Iron Heel Family

This is Tom's second time coming to Wuma City.

He didn't know the specific location of the Iron Heel family's castle, but it wasn't difficult.

Residents and traders on the street saw Tom dressed as a knight riding a tall horse, and they were happy to tell him information.

The Ironhoof family's castle is located on the hillside in the northwest corner.

This castle is tall and majestic, occupying the entire hilltop like a giant beast.

After Tom got closer, he found that there were deep marks on the outer wall of the castle. The bluestone walls revealed the traces of time, making people feel the weight of history.

"Stop whoever comes!"

In front of the avenue leading to the castle, the guards who saw the stranger approaching immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Tom got off his horse and politely took out the visiting card.

"Your Excellency, Guard, I am a subordinate of Baron Luoning of Shanlin Town. My Baron wants to visit Mr. Viscount. This is the invitation."

Baron of Hillwood Town?

The guard didn't know who the baron was, but as a member of the Viscount family, he had basic courtesy. "Mr. Knight, please wait a moment. I'll go and report."

Deep in the castle, Viscount Marvin was reviewing his cargo list. There were many items listed on it, including jade, crystal carvings, gemstones, etc., all of which were relatively expensive items.

This is the birthday gift he prepared for Rulans.

In fact, many nobles in Wushan Territory will bring various things to Wushan Fort today. Firstly, they wish Lulansi a birthday, and secondly, they are also equivalent to paying tribute and paying taxes.

"master."

The butler outside the door called softly.

Marvin looked up and said, "Alphonse, what do you want from me?"

Alphonse walked in and handed over the parchment, "Sir, a masked knight came outside the castle, claiming to be a follower of Baron Ronin of Hillwood Town, and sent a letter of visit from his master."

"oh?"

Marvin was stunned for a moment, then he took the parchment and opened it and read it. The content written on it was very simple. He only said that he wanted to visit. The signature was Ronin Wushan.

Marvin pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Where is Rogner?"

"Master Rognar should be at the racecourse, confirming the accompanying horses for this team." Alphonse replied.

"Ask Rogner to follow the knight who sent the message to pick up Ronin. In addition, prepare a dinner party according to... well, according to the specifications for receiving a viscount."

Alphonse was a little surprised. This kind of elevated reception was rare.

"As you wish, sir!" He stepped back respectfully.

…

At this time, Luo Ning had concluded the negotiations on the Viper Exchange.

For one thousand slaves this time, Anthony proposed to pay 1 gold coin per hundred people at the price of the last transaction.

Luo Ning started friendly negotiations on the basis of long-term cooperation.

It's a pity that the price was lowered last time, and even after a long negotiation this time, the price couldn't be lowered much. After all, the other party also had to escort these people to Shanlin Town, which also cost a lot.

In the end, both sides ended up with 14

Through this transaction, Luo Ning also saw how refreshing it was for Lulans to give 3,000 gold coins at once.

After leaving the Viper Exchange, Ronin went to the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce to sell the spell scroll made by Elrond.

Last time, he bought a total of materials from Hook that could be used to make 55 healing spell scrolls.

In the past two months, Elrond has successfully produced 50 scrolls.

Luo Ning kept half of it in Shanlin Town and Huitu Village for later use, and sold the remaining half, earning 425 gold coins.

At the same time, he once again purchased the same quantity of goods as last time, spending 495 gold coins.

This means that he only spent 70 gold coins on his visit to the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce.

If you take out all the healing scrolls and sell them, you can make money.

But leaving so many spares is also to prepare for the next battle. If there are too many wounded, Elrond's magic power cannot support how many times he casts healing spells.

Luo Ning also thought about whether he could buy some materials for making third-level spell scrolls.

After considering that the territorial magician's strength level increased too quickly and would easily lead to unnecessary speculation from the outside world, he gave up this idea.

And if he wants to buy it, he won't buy it here. After all, there are similar chambers of commerce in larger cities.

Under Hook's warm greetings, Ronin left the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce and went to the tavern where he had dinner last time, waiting for Tom to arrive.

They waited for an hour, and Luo Ning didn't expect that there would be someone else following Tom.

"Luo Ning, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Rogerna."

Luo Ning smiled and shook hands with the other party, "Why did you follow Tom here?"

"My father asked me to come here to greet you."

Rogner extended a warm invitation, "Come on, Iron Shoe Fort is already preparing a dinner. Let's have a few drinks tonight!"

"good!"

Luo Ning also smiled.

Marvin Ironhoof was introduced to Luo Ning by Rulans personally, saying that he could sell him the armor and weapons made by Ironwood Workshop.

So when Luo Ning came over this time, in addition to buying the horses needed to form the knight team, he also wanted to talk about cooperation.

After all, in the future, not only the items produced in the iron and wood workshops, but also silk and porcelain will be sold to the outside world.

There are no caravans in Luo Ning's territory, but the Iron Hoof family's horse-selling industry is spread across Wushan Territory and many cities in the kingdom, and it has a mature commercial system.

He can completely use the Iron Hoof family's channels for sales.

But he didn't expect that Viscount Marvin was more enthusiastic than he thought and actually asked Rogner to greet him in person.

The person who sent Tayunju to Hillwood Town last time was also Rogna, and this time it was Rogna who came to greet him. Viscount Marvin kept sending Rogna. Could it be because the initial sounds of their names are somewhat similar? ?

Luo Ning walked around Muma City under the leadership of the other party.

Compared to the barren mountain town, there are more places to have fun here, such as gambling houses, brothels, circuses, dance halls, racetracks, colosseums, gladiatorial arenas, etc.

Facing Luogna's warm invitation, Luo Ning only verbally agreed.

To be honest, these things are not very attractive to him. If he is really bored, he can go to the next few places to check out.

Not long after, a group of people entered the Iron Shoe Fort.

Compared with Wushan Castle, this castle felt older to Luo Ning. He believed that the Iron Hoof family must have enough funds to repair it. The reason why they did not do so was probably a reflection of family history.

But after entering the inner fort, the environment inside became much more advanced.

"Luo Ning, please wait a moment, I will go and notify my father right away."

After Rogner brought the people to the living room, he went to the backyard to find Viscount Marvin.

Luo Ning looked around. Compared to the ancient living room outside, this living room was not shabby at all. On the contrary, similar to Wushan Castle, there were many magic crystals.

In the backyard, Viscount Marvin's study.

"Father, I have arranged Luo Ning in the living room."

Marvin put down a stack of documents in his hand, "How do you feel about seeing him this time?"

"Similar to the last time, he is not like the legend. I took him to the entrance of the brothel and introduced several beauties, but he didn't seem to be very interested."

Rogner replied: "But there are some differences. Compared with last time, I feel that Luo Ning seems to be stronger?"

"Haha, I'm growing taller after all."

Marvin smiled and joked, "I heard from the information from the Thane Territory that Leisen was defeated by another knight named Redal under Ronin in the savage tribe this time. Is he here today?"

"No, he is still accompanied by the guard named McCann. I have also seen the masked knight named Tom."

"That's a pity. I originally wanted to see Redal's strength and see how strong this senior knight who can defeat the Bronze Knight is."

Marvin looked pityful, and then turned his gaze to his second son, "Rognar, what is our family's motto?"

Rogner was startled and didn't know why his father suddenly asked him this question, but he still answered seriously: "Choice is sometimes more important than strength."

Marvin nodded, "Our family has gone through a lot of ups and downs, and once even faced the crisis of annihilation, but it still exists now. Many times, we rely on this motto to make the right choices."

He looked at his son, "How about I let you follow Luo Ning?"
