章節 112: Chapter 112 Gift
Chapter 112 Gift
Roning walked into Lulans' bedroom.
As the weather gradually turned colder, Lu Lansi's physical condition became worse and worse. This was not because his condition was getting worse; in fact, he felt very uncomfortable every winter.
The fireplace had already raised the temperature in the house to a very warm level, but Rulans was still covered in a thick woolen blanket, and he still felt hot just by looking at it.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?"
Roning was very puzzled. What kind of disease could have tortured a Meteor-level knight who had tempered his flesh, internal organs, and bones and could break the logging wheel for so many years?
"Same old, just don't use your fighting spirit."
Lu Lansi propped himself up and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, "I heard that you are leaving tomorrow?"
Roning nodded.
Today is already the 17th; two days have passed since Curry gave him the three thousand gold coins and five days since he returned to Wushan Fort.
"I instructed the carpenters and blacksmiths in the city the day before yesterday, and now they can make the curved plow. I have also recruited a group of craftsmen and apprentices, and it's time for me to return."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "There are still many things waiting for me to do in Shanlin Town."
"Haha, you are a good lord who cares about your territory."
Lu Lan Si tilted his head and looked at his grandson, who was sitting diagonally across the bed, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, "I have also observed you these past few days. You have changed a lot since you experienced Selina's incident and arranged for you to be a baron in Shanlin Town."
He shook his head. "No, it's like he's a completely different person."
Luo Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he kept praising the other party for his accurate judgment of people. He had indeed become a different person.
Fortunately, although extraordinary people are here, no one can see directly through a person's soul changes.
"I read a passage in a novel that said people might change their original habits and styles after experiencing a dramatic change. A diligent person might suddenly become lazy; an ambitious person might suddenly become tired; an irritable person might suddenly become quiet, and so on. Perhaps I am one of them."
"Haha, I think your change is great!"
With relief, Lu Lansi said, "Child, you know that if you had behaved like this earlier, I would not have deprived you of your inheritance so easily."
The heir to the title must either possess sufficient strength or sufficient ability, both of which are things that can gain recognition from the vassal subordinates. Unfortunately, Roning had neither, and neither did Wiggins.
Lu Lans blurted this without any foreshadowing, but Luo Ning didn't find it unreasonable.
Because since he returned to Wushanbao this time, he felt that Lu Lans' attitude towards him had changed a lot.
Take the deal discussion at Wushan Fortress that day, for example. It was an introduction meeting led by Rulans.
Finally, the other party told Roning that he could go to Muma City to find Viscount Marvin if he had any questions.
"Being a mountain baron is pretty good. I have enough time and space to do what I want."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "As for the succession of the Marquis, there is still my father. Even if he is old, Breton is still good. With his qualifications, I am afraid he will catch up with you by that day."
"Breton's qualifications are indeed good."
Lu Lans did not deny this. "If no complicated relationships were behind him, he would be the most suitable heir. But this child grew up with his mother, and he listens to his mother very much. And Diane..."
He was silent for a while, thinking about something, then shook his head and turned the topic back to Luo Ning, "So, are you still interested in being the heir now?"
Well...
Luo Ning didn't expect the old man to speak so directly. It had only been a few months since he was deprived of his inheritance rights, and now he would restore them?
Why did it feel a bit ridiculous?
"Maybe the king just approved the document for you to change the heir, and now you change it again, so I can only..."
Lu Lansi waved his hand and said, "The king doesn't have time to care about these things. He is busy."
Is Rulans as willful as Wiggins, doing whatever he wants?
Luo Ning was interrupted and was speechless. Could it be that Lu Lans also has a willful side and does whatever he wants?
He shook his head. "I am not interested in the inheritance right now. If you want to change it, then in the eyes of other nobles, Wushan Castle will have no prestige."
Ronin's predecessor had a bad reputation and few supporters. Even so, there were many reasons to abolish him.
Now that Bretton has the inheritance right changing it would be even harder. He has a powerful grandfather behind him, and if he's not careful, he might start a war.
And at that time, Roning will be pushed to the front.
So, why does Luo Ning want a successor without real power?
Lu Lansi looked at Luo Ning deeply and nodded slowly after a while.
"It seems that you have matured, kid! If you had agreed without thinking just now, I would have thought your prudentness was limited to trivial matters."
Sure enough, Rulans is not as willful as Wiggins.
"Go, get the box on the desk."
Box?
Luo Ning looked over in surprise and saw that there was indeed a long black wooden box on the desk not far away, which seemed to have been prepared by Lu Lans a long time ago.
What is it?
He took the long box with curiosity.
"This is a parting gift for you. Open it." Lu Lans said with a smile.
"This is such a surprise!"
As for gifts, Ronin never refused them. On the one hand, he lacked resources, and on the other hand, what if he refused someone's kindness and made the gift-giver unhappy?
Ronin opened the long box eagerly and saw six scrolls lying quietly inside.
"This is?"
He opened the top scroll with confusion, opened it, and saw it engraved with dense, mysterious, and obscure spell patterns. If he looked at it carefully, he would feel a little strained.
Roning was familiar with this feeling. He had it when he stared closely at the magic circle that summoned McKen and others, but it was even stronger then.
There is no doubt that this is a spell scroll.
He saw the lower right corner caption: Level Six Magic Fire Dragon Swallowing the Sky.
This is not a simple spell scroll but a sixth-level magic!
Lulans' voice sounded at the right time: "There are five spell scrolls in total, including one spell scroll of the sixth-level fire magic 'Fire Dragon Devouring the Sky,' three spell scrolls of the fifth-level earth magic 'Guardian Armor,' and one spell scroll of the sixth-level light magic 'Strong Healing.'"
Hiss!
Luo Ning took a breath of cold air, "This, this is too expensive!"
Roning didn't feel much about the gift Rulans had given him. After all, a few hundred gold coins were nothing to the marquis.
Even if he facilitated the deal for the curved plow, he also had his contribution. After all, if it weren't for the curved plow, he wouldn't have earned the 3,000 gold coins.
But now, the value of these scrolls given by Lulans is too high; even if Roning is thick-skinned, he feels he cannot afford it.
Let's not talk about anything else. The price of this spell scroll of powerful healing magic is as high as 6,000 gold coins. It was because of this that Wiggins was able to save his life.
The combined value of these five spell scrolls is tens of thousands of gold coins.
No matter how rich Lu Lan Si was, he would not give out so many precious spell scrolls to others at once.
"These things are of no value to an old man like me, and I have lived in Wushan Fort all year round and have no chance to use them. Rather than wasting them, I might as well give them to you. Perhaps they can be of some use to you."
Lu Lans said seriously: "I am very optimistic about you, child. Even if you cannot inherit the title of Marquis of Wushan Territory in the future, I believe you can still become an excellent lord with your wisdom and ability!"
This evaluation is quite high.
Roning tightened his grip on the scroll, never expecting that he would be moved.
At this moment, he felt the difficulties faced by the old man in front of him.
A meteor-level warrior who has all the strength but cannot even use his fighting spirit;
A marquis family cannot select an heir qualified in all aspects. This is painful but helpless for Lu Lans.
This family, this castle, and this territory probably rely on Rulans for support. Once he dies, the current situation is likely to fall apart.
There was never a lack of disputes and wars among kingdoms and nobles.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Luo Ning said sincerely: "I will use it well and will not let you down!"
"Haha, then you don't need to use it."
Lu Lan Si smiled and shook his head: "The spell scroll is not something anyone can use. It takes extraordinary strength and a certain amount of mental energy to trigger it."
"You can't, you are too weak! You have neither fighting spirit nor magic power. You can barely use the second or third-level spell scrolls. If you force yourself to use these, it will only drain your life."
He instructed, "Let your knight Mikan use it. High-level knights can barely use level 5 or 6 spell scrolls, but the cost is also very high. Don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Especially the scroll of powerful healing. There is only one in the entire Wushan Castle. Use it where you think it will be most valuable."
Luo Ning couldn't help but look at the scrolls in the box. He didn't expect the only powerful healing spell to be given to him. How much did Lu Lan Si think of him?
Lu Lan Si didn't know that Luo Ning was already an extraordinary person with two professions. He could use these scrolls himself.
Luo Ning listened to the instructions seriously and felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
Sometimes, you are not afraid of others treating you badly, but you are afraid of others treating you too well.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say; you can go now."
Lu Lans waved his hand and lay down again, "I want to rest, too."
Luo Ning took a deep breath, put away the long box, and bowed deeply, "Please take care of yourself; I will come to visit you again at the end of December!"
I have things to do in the afternoon and evening, so the evening update may be a little late.
