Chapter 173 Unexpected Surprise
The banquet hall of Wushanbao regained its lively atmosphere.
However, compared to before, many nobles had something on their minds, and when they talked in groups of three or five, they would more or less mention Roning and Lei Sen.
There is no doubt that the Sean family of Swamp Town is finished this time. Even if Earl Orson wants to plead for them, he has no reason or excuse.
If I insist on saying too much, I'm afraid Lu Lans will hold Black Python City responsible for its poor performance in eliminating the Skull and Bones Society.
Although the Earldom of Orson is powerful, he is still a vassal of Wushan Castle. He has not yet reached the point where he can avoid executing the punishment imposed by the feudal lord.
Moreover, what happened tonight has changed many people's views of the former Ronin. The Lord of Shanlin Town is qualified enough for them to pay attention to.
The key point is that they saw Lulans' attitude towards Roning.
Regarding Lei Sen, no one would believe it if they said that the grandfather and grandson had not informed each other in advance.
Therefore, when Luo Ning walked into the banquet hall again, he naturally became the protagonist of the night.
On the terrace, Orson held a crystal glass in his hand, aimlessly shaking the half-filled glass of red wine inside. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was rather solemn under the night sky.
Baron Rayson was unfamiliar with Orson but was in close contact with his son Barrington and must know a lot about the Skull and Bones Society.
If Lei Sen couldn't stand the pressure during the interrogation and confessed something, it would undoubtedly bring considerable trouble to Black Python City.
"This Lei Sen... is a trouble."
Footsteps sounded beside him, and Jesus came over with a cup. "This party is boring, what do you think?"
The two of them clinked their glasses lightly and took a sip of wine.
"I don't think so. Tonight was a great experience."
Orson smiled and said, "If you can immerse yourself in the excitement of the banquet, it will be a different experience."
"Hehe, I guess you're not in a good mood right now."
Jesus whispered, "I look forward to your next move."
"action?"
Orson drank the rest of the drink in one gulp. "What can I do?"
Jesus did not comment. He looked around and saw that no one else was around. He whispered, "He is so bad that no one can check and balance him."
Orson snorted lightly; he knew what the other party was talking about.
Black Python City wants to support Sen Territory and make that land bigger and stronger to prepare for taking over the Horse Herding City in the future.
It's a pity Lei Sen is gone now, and the previous plan has failed.
Orson's eyes fell on Viscount Marvin, who was having a lively time in the banquet hall. He was very unhappy with the other party's happiness.
But he had to admit that no matter who took over the Sean Territory, that piece of land would not fall into the hands of Black Python City, and the Horse Herder City would no longer pose any threat in the north.
"Chaos is a ladder," Orson murmured.
Wushan Castle was deteriorating, but Wushan Territory remained strong, all thanks to the existence of Marquis Rulans.
As long as Lu Lans exists, there will be no major unrest in Wushan Territory, even if he lives in Wushan Fort all year round and does not go out.
This situation was very uncomfortable for Orson because he could do more only after Lulans's departure.
The banquet lasted until midnight before gradually coming to an end.
Luo Ning drank countless glasses of wine tonight and started feeling dizzy.
"My lord, this is the reward for the champion of the knight's competition and the reward from Her Royal Highness the Princess and other nobles. Hallward asked me to pass it to you."
McKeon was carrying an exquisite basket filled with golden and silver coins in the room.
Luo Ning circulated his fighting spirit to disperse the alcohol in his body, making him feel much more sober.
"How many?"
Luo Ning picked up the basket and weighed it gently. It was quite heavy.
It was at this time that a line of text appeared in his sight:
["Good Fortune" achievement achieved, attribute points +250, energy essence +500]
"Huh!" Luo Ning was stunned.
If he remembered correctly, this time, he had to obtain 5,000 gold coins at once to achieve good fortune.
This number is huge. According to Roning's previous idea, he would need to get a large order to complete it. However, he did not expect that this knight competition would bring him such a big surprise.
"How come there are so many?"
The reward for the champion of the knight competition is only one thousand gold coins. Even if Princess Blanche rewards five hundred, it is still far from five thousand gold coins.
At this time, McCann handed over a piece of paper with a clear list of people who had given rewards.
"Princess Blanche 500 gold, Miroslav 480 gold, Jesus 400 gold, Orson 300 gold, Marvin 300 gold, Kabir 300 gold, Dennis 200 gold, Herman 200 gold..."
Luo Ning couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that so many nobles would give him rewards. Even those who were causing trouble were not stingy in giving.
For example, Jesus and Orson offered very high amounts of money, which was impressive.
They are all good people.
"Miroslav."
Roning thought of the seventh-level earth magician sitting next to Lu Lans, but he didn't expect the other party to join in the fun.
Four or five hundred gold coins are nothing for a person like this.
If this great magician were not unwilling to surpass Blanche, he would probably throw out thousands of gold coins at will.
After some calculations, including the championship prize money and the rewards from dozens of nobles and knights, Roning earned 5,250 gold coins this time!
He didn't expect making money would be so easy!
Roning then threw thirty gold coins to McKen and ten to Tom, telling them to go to Wushan City to buy what they wanted when they had time. He then put all the remaining gold coins into the space ring.
Lying on the bed, he opened the property panel.
[Attribute Points]: 251
[Energy Essence]: 951
This achievement allowed him to accumulate a considerable amount of energy.
He looked at the achievement interface, and Fortune and Prosperity had been updated:
[Fortune and Prosperity]: Obtain 10,000 gold coins at one time, rewards: attribute points +500, energy essence +1000. The difficulty has increased a lot.
If you want to get 10,000 gold coins at once, unless there is a competition and you get more rewards from nobles, you can only achieve this through larger business orders.
He looked at several other tasks. If everything went well, he could become a viscount and take over the Territory of Thane.
At that time, if he can complete the two tasks of [Fame throughout the World] and [Prosperous Population], he can accumulate hundreds of attribute points and energy essence.
At that time, his strength had another huge leap, and he could even promote McKen to the gold level in one fell swoop!
With a gold-level guard, Roning no longer has to worry, even if the assassin from the Colosseum comes to Shanlin Town.
Putting these thoughts aside, Ronin added all his attribute points to the knight level.
After feeling the exhilaration of the drastic strengthening fluctuations, Ronin's knight-level progress increased from 93/800 to 344/800.
"After strengthening my internal organs, I have more energy. Even if I only sleep four or five hours daily, I don't feel tired the next day."
Roning threw several punches in the room, feeling his strength increase.
Now, even his breathing has become longer than before.
If he could only hold his breath underwater for three minutes before, now he can hold his breath for at least five times longer than before.
During this stage, the knight's lifespan also begins to increase slightly.
Normally, it would be no problem for a bronze-level knight to live to be eighty years old.
You have to know that in this world where fifty years old is considered old, what does eighty years old mean?
"Supernatural power is fascinating!"
As long as there is enough time, he can witness the style of the peak extraordinary people.
As long as Wushanbao can maintain his current state, he will not lack time for development.
