Chapter 133 Dog Barking
The sunshine was very abundant for the next two days. Except for some hillsides or buildings not exposed to the sun, the snow in other places had basically melted.
It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts.
Although Ronin is now a high-level knight and his physique has been greatly strengthened, he can still feel the drop in temperature in the past two days.
Besides that, it's quite humid everywhere.
The room was relatively damp, the roads in the castle were relatively damp, and the mountain roads outside that were flooded with snow and water were even more so.
Luo Ning rode the Taoyunju along the mountain road for a distance. Some places with more loess were very muddy, and the carriage wheels would probably get stuck in them if they passed by.
He planned to wait two more days before setting off again.
In the open space of the inner castle, Luo Ning threw a small wooden stick high into the air, "Black Tiger, catch it!"
As soon as the words fell, a black shadow rushed out quickly, ran towards the wooden stick in the air, picked up the end of the stick when it drew a curve in the air and bit it.
"pretty!"
Luo Ning couldn't help but admire the black tiger's recent jump, which was at least 1.5 meters high.
Although this height doesn't seem high, the black tiger is only one month old and only 50 centimeters in size. It can jump so high in one go, and its explosive power can be imagined.
The black tiger caught the stick, wagging its tail and running over quickly.
Roning was not stingy, either. He picked up a piece of dried meat from Bella's ceramic bowl and threw it to the other party.
The black tiger took it accurately, carried it to a corner, and started to eat it.
Although Roning separated it from the dog for these two days, he maintained the habits he had learned from the dog.
Ning approached Heihu and reached out to remove his dried meat. Sure enough, this guy began to bare his teeth and make low sounds, which was how a dog protects its food.
"Bang!"
Luo Ning slapped the other person on the head and successfully took the dried meat in his hand.
"How dare you protect your food!"
Then he handed the dried meat over and started the second time. Black Tiger still behaved the same way, so he was hit the second and third times...
After who knows how many times, the black tiger seemed to react, when Roning reached out his hand, it subconsciously shrank back and gave up the dried meat.
At the same time, it wagged its tail and looked at Roning flatteringly as if to say, "Head, you eat it."
"That's more like it."
Luo Ning touched the black tiger's head hard, allowing the black tiger to eat the jerky in peace.
"Okay, let's stop here for today."
Luo Ning clapped his hands and washed his hands in the basin brought by the butler Chahar.
"When I leave in two days, remember to tell Irene to do more training like this with Black Tiger to train its obedience. But also pay attention to safety, and don't let this little thing bite you."
"Okay, sir, I understand."
Chahar has been staying in the castle recently, which is a rare opportunity. "Master, when are you going to leave for Wushan Castle?"
"About the fifteenth."
Luo Ning wiped his hands with a towel. "Liya is pretty good at weaving scarves with silk. She said it would take another five or six days to finish. I will wait for her."
"Oh, by the way, bring me the coat made by the Storm Wolf that the tailor has processed and sorted. I want to take it away."
These two things were the birthday gifts that Roning brought to Lulans.
"The Marquis will be very happy to receive these two gifts."
"I think so."
He waved his hand, signaling Chahar to go and do his own thing, and he strolled leisurely in the castle.
He strolled into the hall of the outer castle and saw Irene teaching David, Bella, and others how to read like elders. The students, who were about eighteen or nineteen years old, were scratching their heads and frowning, looking very uncomfortable.
Everyone was extremely nervous, especially after seeing Roning appear, fearing that the Lord would come to test them.
Ronin only gave a few words of encouragement, then climbed up the tower and watched the guards gathering back to the team in the twilight in the west.
In the past half month, cavalry have also been recruited. Although there are not enough horses, training them together with the guards is still possible.
After walking around, Ronin returned to the castle and sat down at the desk.
The black tiger, which had finished eating the dried meat, also followed. Although it was small in size, its speed in climbing the stairs was not slow at all. Sometimes, it could even jump several steps with one leap.
It circled around Roning's trouser legs a few times, and when it saw that its owner had no intention of paying attention to it, it lay aside and started chewing the leg of a chair.
Roning was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He took out parchment and a quill pen and began to draw the shape of porcelain to provide a reference for the future production of ceramic vessels.
In fact, he would draw one or two pictures based on his impressions before dinner every day for the past two days, and there were already seven or eight pictures piled on the table.
Luo Ning felt that his painting skills had improved greatly since he traveled through time, and he would probably become a famous painter.
"When I have more people under my command, I must compile a basic book and include all my works."
The quill rustled across the paper, slowly outlining the shape of a small hand-pressing cup and describing its size and features next to it.
Luo Ning concentrated on the design, and Heihu meticulously chewed the chair leg, but suddenly, the "puppy" stopped and stared at the door.
Roning didn't notice anything unusual until the little guy made a whimpering sound.
"What's wrong, Black Tiger?" Luo Ning stopped writing and looked over in surprise.
But the black tiger had already stood up, staring at the door as if facing a great enemy, as if there was something there that it was very afraid of.
But when Luo Ning took a quick look, he didn't find anything. The butler Galen was waiting in the corridor outside the door, and there was nothing unusual.
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Ning scolded with a smile.
Garlon, outside, couldn't help but take a look, thinking that the black tiger was baring its teeth at him, so he moved outside and disappeared at the door.
But at this time, the black tiger actually started barking.
Luo Ning was thinking of cursing a few words, but suddenly, he felt bad in his heart.
"It can't be…"
Without thinking, he quickly used the wind of detection. Within the field of vision of the wind element, he actually sensed a figure just two or three meters in front of the desk.
At this moment, the figure pounced towards him quickly.
"Grass!"
Luo Ning cursed angrily, and before he could react, he pushed the floor hard with his toes. His whole body, along with the chair, tilted to one side and rolled to the ground.
At this moment, a figure dressed in black suddenly appeared in the room, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at the place where Roning had been before.
If he hadn't noticed, the dagger would definitely have pierced his heart!
"You actually dodged it."
The man uttered an evil, sarcastic sound, sheathed his dagger, drew his sword instead, jumped over the desk, and stabbed down from above.
"roll!"
The Liuyan Sword was held in Luo Ning's hand, and a fierce flame erupted as the fighting spirit was injected into it.
"You are not a junior knight!"
The man was very surprised, but his reaction was not slow at all. He used his Dou Qi almost at the same time, condensing it into a long sword beam, and at the same time, wrapped his whole body to form a blue-black Dou Qi armor.
The two swords collided with a loud clanging sound, which set off a strong storm in the small study. All the papers on the desk were blown away, and the room was chaotic.
The black tiger roared even louder and rushed forward but was blown away by a gust of air.
When Galen, who was waiting outside the door, heard the chair fall to the ground, he wanted to come over to see what had happened. He never expected such a noise to happen in the room, and he stood in a daze momentarily.
The stalemate lasted only a moment. The man in black's huge force pressed down, and Roning was directly blown away by the sword's power, hitting the wall heavily.
"die!"
The man in black didn't stop at all. He took a big step forward and raised his sword, wanting to chop off Roning's head.
