Kapitel 149: Chapter 149 Gift Giving
Chapter 149 Gift Giving
Giving gifts to Huitu Village.
With the end of the first knight and guard competition in Shanlin Town, Ridal began to plan the attack on the Black Collar Tribe.
The Black Collar Tribe is the most powerful place among the savage tribes. Its defenses are much stronger than those of the Gray Earth Village. If it is attacked directly, it is likely to cause heavy casualties.
However, Riedal had a solution. Starting from the 24th, he arranged for the cavalry to cross the center line and head straight for the center of the Black Collar Tribe. When the other side reacted and sent cavalry to intercept, he ordered the cavalry to turn around and return immediately.
"Captain, look, they're coming again!"
On a hillside, Filiton's knight Unai pointed at the cavalry galloping on the mountain road and shouted indignantly: "Are the people in Huitu Village sick? They have nothing to do daily after eating and running around here?"
Feridon sneered, "Their flagrant act of crossing the border violates the agreement. When the Baron returns from Wushan Castle, we will settle accounts with Naronin!"
"So what now? Are we just going to let them cross the line like this every day?" a knight asked.
Feridon hesitated for a moment. He had no idea what the other party was doing, but he would never allow the enemy to cross the border so brazenly and come to the land of Sen Territory.
"Go, find some cavalry and intercept them!"
Feridon decided: "Since we have nothing to do, let's play with them and see what tricks they can develop!"
As a result, a funny scene of you chasing me and me running happened on the borderline.
Redal and Elrond rode on the hillside where the scout camp was located and looked at the two groups of people.
"Will this really work?" Elrond was a little unsure.
Rydal did not comment. He had originally planned to lure Joffrey out for another talk, but he did not expect that the Black Collar Tribe had changed people.
"Let these cavalrymen practice their riding skills now and wait for the big one to come on the 1st. Then, we can provoke them a few more times and lure out as many people as possible. It's better than attacking directly."
It was still difficult for these professional knights to resist the enemy with fortifications. Shanlin Town had worked hard to train many cavalrymen, so the fewer losses, the better.
While Riedal was preparing, Roning and his party finally arrived at Wushan Fort on the afternoon of the 26th.
Lulans' birthday was a big event in Wushan Territory. A huge number of nobles came this time. The vehicles and supplies they carried had blocked the square in front of Wushan Castle.
Fortunately, we had been prepared. A large number of servants, grooms, and inventory officers were already in place, quickly carrying away the nobles' gifts.
Roning shrugged his nose. At this time, the smell of horse sweat and horse manure in the square was not very pungent. After handing the Cloud-Stepping Horse to Tom, he took McKen into the castle.
"Master Luo Ning, welcome!"
Butler Hallward greeted him respectfully at the door, "Greetings, Mr. Viscount!"
"Long time no see, Hallward."
Viscount Marvin greeted casually, "How many nobles are here?"
"We are almost there." Hallward smiled and led the two into the castle. "Master Ronin will stay in the same place as before. We have already arranged a place for the Viscount. Please follow me."
Although Roning had left Wushan Castle and became a baron outside, he was still slightly different from other nobles. At least he still had a fixed small building and courtyard in Wushan Castle.
"Then you stay with Uncle Marvin first. I'll go see Grandpa." Luo Ning said.
"Okay, Master!"
Hallward smiled and said, "Miss McKinney should also be with the Marquis. If you go there now, you might be able to run into her."
Luo Ning was slightly startled, and an image of a beautiful woman with silver hair flashed through his mind.
McKinney, his biological sister, is from the same father and mother. After his mother passed away, Roning received a lot of love and care from McKinney, and the two had a very good relationship.
However, McKinney married Sir Kabir of the Brilliant City six years ago.
Kabir is the captain of the Second Knights of Wushan Castle. He possesses strength comparable to the Golden Knights and has made considerable achievements in many wars.
It's a pity that his parents are just freemen with very ordinary origins and no background. Even though he is very powerful, he is still just a canonized knight.
McKinney married him mainly because they were in a free-love relationship, and Rulans and Wiggins valued each other's potential.
But no matter what, McKinney was marrying down, and many people opposed it openly or secretly at the time.
Luo Ning arrived at the back garden with ease. The guards knew this gentleman's identity along the way and did not stop him.
While waiting for the guards to report, a young lady in a gorgeous long dress walked out quickly.
She wore a pale blue gown with a corset over it, an ornate belt around her waist, and jewels adorning the neckline.
In addition, the small hat on her head was decorated with various gems and feathers and matched with the sparkling necklace on her white neck; it showed her luxurious and noble temperament.
"Ronin~"
McKinney strode forward and hugged Ronin in his arms, "Long time no see!"
"Long time no see, sister!"
The two separated, and Luo Ning greeted each other with a smile.
McKinney then looked Roning up and down and said with satisfaction: "You have grown taller and become much stronger."
She looked up at Luo Ning, her eyes misty and worried. "It's just that Shanlin Town is too hard. Can you get used to living there?"
After traveling through time, it was the first time Roning felt truly cared for.
Unlike Rulands, whose emotions were always restrained, McKinney was more direct in her expressions.
Perhaps, even though their predecessor's character was not very good, this did not affect their relationship as siblings.
"Don't worry, sister. The situation in Hillwood Town is not that bad. Everything is fine over there."
As he said this, he looked at the handsome blond man behind McKinney and greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see, Kabir; you still look as handsome as before."
Kabir came forward. He looked elegant, not as tall and strong as other knights. "You too, Ronin. You give me a completely different feeling now than before!"
Kabir used to think very highly of Roning. The other party did not behave like a qualified heir, especially after he lost the inheritance rights; Kabir could not help but be angry.
After all, as McKinney's husband, he would stand on Ronin's side in the future. But now that Bretton and Earl Hyde had replaced the heir behind him, he was slightly worried.
However, some of the good things Roning had done recently had slightly changed his impression of him.
The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries outside. McKinney was concerned about Roning's eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. She looked like a half-mother.
After a while, the three of them entered the house under the guidance of Moster.
The room was warm, with a fireplace lit. Lulans was the only person in the room.
"Ronin is here."
Lu Lans's face was flushed, and he seemed to be in much better spirits than before. It was unclear whether it was because his body had recovered a little or he was in high spirits because of the good news.
"Happy birthday, Grandpa!"
Roning blessed him and took the package from McKen's hand. "This is a gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
"oh?"
Lu Lansi's eyes revealed surprise, "Let me see what this is?"
McKinney and Kabir also cast their gazes.
Ronin took out the coat and put it on Lulans. "A storm wolf came to the territory. This is a coat made of its skin for you."
Lu Lansi stroked the coat, which felt very good, and immediately brought him warmth when he put it on. "Good! You can kill the Storm Wolf, and I don't have to worry about your safety in Shanlin Town."
McKinney walked up and examined Rulans from head to toe. While he was impressed by the texture of his coat, he also lamented the danger of Ronin's territory.
After all, there are territories invaded by monsters. No wonder no one was willing to become the lord there in the early years.
Luo Ning took a light blue scarf and said, "This is a scarf I made using the special silk thread from Shanlin Town. You should like it."
Special silk thread?
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and they all looked over curiously.
"It's so light and soft!"
Lu Lansi took the scarf in his hand and stroked it, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
The feeling it gave him was completely different from that of scarves made of other materials, and when he put it on, the warmth he felt was no less than that of scarves made of wool or goose down.
McKinney couldn't help but touch it, and he showed affection as soon as he made contact.
Although this scarf is not embroidered with complicated patterns, she still feels its specialness. It will bring an elegant and noble temperament with just a little processing.
"What kind of thread is this?"
Luo Ning smiled, saying, "This is a cloth made of silk. I named it 'silk'. It is extremely soft, comfortable, breathable, and hygroscopic compared to traditional linen and woolen cloth. It also has a bright luster and delicate touch. This scarf would have been even more gorgeous and elegant if it hadn't been for the lack of time."
Luo Ning said this professionally, and it sounded like he was introducing something but also promoting it.
After listening to his introduction, several people have defined silk as a high-end textile material.
McKinney's eyes lit up. "Roning, I also want a scarf like this. No, I want a skirt like this. It will be very cool to wear in the summer!"
"Sure!"
Promoting silk fabrics depends on the nobles, so Roning naturally doesn't mind giving McKinney one.
"But I won't have new materials until August or September. Then I will make a beautiful dress for you."
"What exactly is it, and can I produce it?" McKinney asked.
"That shouldn't be possible, right? Maybe this is a specialty of Hillwood Town?"
Luo Ning was unsure whether there were mulberry silkworms in other places, but even if there were, they could not handle them without mastering the technical means of reeling silk.
"I didn't realize Shanlin Town is such a blessed place!"
Lulans smiled and tied the silk scarf around his neck. Then he put on the Storm Wolf coat and lay down again.
Although the value of these two things from Ronin was a little lower than the gifts from other nobles, they were enough for him.
Sometimes, people care less about the type of gift than about the person who gives it.
"I heard you have a follower who can defeat the Bronze Knight. How many things are you hiding from me?"
When Lulans heard that Knight Redal under Ronin had defeated Leisen, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that, in addition to McKen, there would be another powerful knight under Ronin.
If the carrier bird had not yet connected Wushan Fort and Shanlin Town, he would have wanted to ask Luo Ning long ago.
On the side, Kabir also said: "Although Leisen's strength is not strong, he is not someone that ordinary high-level knights can defeat. Did the knight named Ridar come this time?"
"Rydar had other things to do, so I didn't bring him this time."
Luo Ning added: "However, his fighting skills and strength are indeed strong, and I have learned a lot from him."
"That's a pity~."
Lu Lans suddenly laughed, "If he comes here, maybe he will be the champion of this martial arts competition."
"There's a martial arts competition at the birthday party?" Luo Ning was surprised.
"Isn't this to make Grandpa's birthday party more lively?"
McKinney smiled and said, " Anyone under 30 can participate. The champion can get 1,000 gold coins at once. Many knights have been preparing after hearing the news in the past two days."
Luo Ning's eyes lit up. Why did he feel Mr. Lu Lans was sending him money on purpose?
