Kapitel 73: Chapter 73 Unexpected News
Chapter 73 Unexpected News
Roning didn't know the knights from the Horse Herder City, but when he heard the name "Rognar Ironhoof," he knew the identity of the visitor - he was from the Ironhoof family of Viscount of the Horse Herder City.
He searched for information about this name in his mind, but he only knew that this Rogner was the second son of Viscount Marvin, and there was no more information.
Roning himself had even less connection with the Tieti family. If he had to explain, it was only that he had spent thousands of gold coins on their land this time.
So what are the people from the Iron Hoof Family doing here?
"Come on, accompany me to take a look."
It would be impolite to keep the noble waiting for a long time, so Roning did not delay any longer. He called McKen, and they went back to the castle together.
At this moment, there were five people standing outside the castle; three of them looked like guards, and the leader was a man and a woman, both wearing light armor and equipped with weapons. They looked like professional knights.
This was the first time that Ronin had seen a female professional knight, but his attention was more focused on the man with a black horse emblem tattooed on his chest.
The man was strong and stood straight, with his hand on the sword at his waist. He exuded a fierce aura.
At this moment, he was looking up at the castle in front of him, not knowing whether he was comparing it with the Ironhoof Family's castle or estimating the defensive power of Hillwood Castle in his mind.
"Rogna, they are coming." The woman next to him caught a glimpse of Roning and others walking in the distance and reminded them in a low voice.
The man who had been looking up at the castle finally came to his senses and quickly looked to the left, his eyes fixed on the silver-haired young man.
"Good morning, Baron Ronin!"
He swept away his fierce aura and became very pleasant: "I am Rognar Ironhoof from the Horse Herder City. Please forgive me for my sudden and intrusive visit."
Luo Ning took a quick look at the other person. With his black hair and black eyes, he looked friendly, but it was a pity that his skin was too white.
"Welcome, Mr. Rogner!"
Luo Ning walked forward, smiled, and gave the other person a gentle hug. "It has been a long time since we have had any guests in Shanlin Town. I am very happy that you have come."
Rognar was a little surprised. The Baron Ronin in front of him seemed to be different from the legendary eldest grandson of the Marquis.
Although they only met for a short while, he felt that the person in front of him was relatively calm.
"Ronin, this is Ms. Krami Snow; she is my fiancée."
Oh?
This time Ronin was even more surprised. Why did the other party bring his fiancée to this remote place? Could it be that he brought his family to pledge allegiance to him?
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Kurami."
Luo Ning smiled, nodded to the other party, and said to Rogner: "You have a beautiful fiancée."
"Hahaha, I think so too."
Rogner scratched his head and laughed, making Kurami beside him feel a little uncomfortable.
After a few pleasantries, the second son of the Iron-Tied Family walked to the side and led out a handsome black horse. "We only learned in the past two days that you had been to the Horse Herding City a while ago. The Iron-Tied Family was not hospitable enough. My father asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."
"Viscount Marvin is too polite. Actually, I should have submitted the visiting card to him when I arrived in Muma City." Roning said with some surprise. Rogner brought people to Shanlin Town. Was it just for this matter? Did
the nobles care so much about etiquette?
"This is a cloud-stepping colt with the blood of a third-level magical beast. Although it is only three years old and has not yet reached adulthood, its defense is amazing. Ordinary arrows cannot hurt it at all! And its speed and endurance are far superior to other horses. It is no problem for it to fly 800 miles a day!"
This cloud-stepping horse has a slender figure and smooth muscle lines and exudes a strong sense of power. When looking into its eyes, one can actually feel a slight sense of oppression.
The Cloud-Stepping Horse is jet black all over, so black that it looks shiny, but there is a circle of white hair on its four hooves, making it look like it is stepping on clouds, which is very handsome.
As Rognar introduced, he handed the reins to Roning, which stunned the latter.
"What is this?" Roning took the reins, somewhat puzzled.
A horse of Warcraft bloodline is not something that can be bought with just a few hundred gold coins. Is the Iron Hoof Family going to give him one? Is it just because they feel rude because he was not received by the Horse Herding City when he went there?
Is the Tieti family so wealthy?
Seeing Ronin's silly look, Knight Kurami beside him couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Marvin said that the Ironhoof Family was disrespectful, so he asked Rogner to bring the Cloud Pony to apologize."
It really is...
Luo Ning thought this was too unbelievable. He always felt that the other party's purpose was not like this.
"Please also express my gratitude to Viscount Marvin."
Luo Ning was very moved and said: "It's just that horses with Warcraft blood are too valuable. I..."
"You're welcome too."
Rogna quickly interrupted Roning and said, "Actually, the main reason we came here this time is for other things."
Luo Ning's heart moved. Sure enough, there was something else going on. What could it be?
"Then please follow me into the castle first."
As the host here, Ronin warmly invited Rogna and Miss Kurami into the inner castle, asked Bella to serve tea and several fruit plates, and instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch to welcome the guests.
In recent times, as the castle servants have become more familiar with the lord's vegetable garden, the fruits and vegetables are much richer than at the beginning.
Although the hospitality for guests was still a bit crude, it was not as shabby as the hospitality for Knight Feridon.
Rogner and Kurami thanked him, took a few bites of fruit, and then returned to the topic.
"Luo Ning, I brought Tayunju here to express my father's apology, not just to bring you a message."
Rogner's voice lowered. "It's bad news."
"Um?"
Luo Ning frowned, puzzled. What other bad news did he have?
As he spoke, Rogna took out a small piece of parchment from his arms and handed it over.
Luo Ning took it with a puzzled look, and the other party continued, "This is a letter sent from the Wushan City branch of the Iron Hoof Chamber of Commerce to Muma City. After my father saw the contents above, he felt it necessary to tell you."
"This is?"
Luo Ning spread the letter in his hand in confusion and quickly read the contents.
You won't know until you read it. You will be shocked when you read it. The letter actually said that the Earl of Wushan City, Ronin's father Wiggins, had been assassinated and was in critical condition!
If it weren't for the fact that the parchment had the Ironhoof Family's black horse emblem on it and was personally delivered by the son of the Viscount of Horse Herding City, Roning would have suspected that some bad guy was maliciously spreading false information.
But since Viscount Marvin conveyed the news to him in this way, he was using the reputation of the Iron Hoof family to guarantee the authenticity of the news.
Luo Ning raised his head in disbelief, "What on earth is going on?"
The letter did not specify the specific reason.
Rognar explained, "You should also know that the 28th of last month was Earl Orson's 70th birthday, and many nobles in Wushan Territory sent people to celebrate. Lord Wiggins, as his son-in-law, would naturally not be absent."
"Although the banquet went very smoothly, no one expected that Lord Wiggins would be assassinated by an unidentified killer on his way back to Wushan Castle after attending the birthday banquet!"
Rogner sighed, "It is said that there are two silver knights among the assassins this time. Even if Sir Toru Venar, who is protecting Earl Wiggins, is a gold knight, he can only barely hold back these two people, not to mention that the other side also has a bronze knight and several senior knights!"
Roning had heard of the name Toru Vinar, who was the leader of the First Knights of Wushan Castle. Gaman Stout, whom he had met before, was his subordinate.
The outside world thought that Toru was only a silver knight. When did he break through to become a gold knight?
Of course, this was not the most important thing. Under the protection of the gold knight, Wiggins was still seriously injured and in critical condition. The opponent's assassination was obviously well-prepared.
Roning couldn't believe it. "Earl Wiggins...my father, is he dead?"
