Chapter 130 Rebellion Plan
In Huitu Village.
After Luo Ning solved Lei Sen's problem, he did not rush back to Shanlin Town.
In addition to discussing and finalizing the training plan with Redar, McKeon, and others, he also inspected the kaolin mines.
Over the past month, Redal has led his men to conduct a rough survey, which has determined that the vein is about twenty miles long and six miles wide.
Since it was difficult to survey the thickness, he just asked someone to dig a deep pit seven or eight meters downwards. Currently, kaolin can still be collected, which means that this vein is at least seven or eight meters thick.
Such a large reserve is considered to be enough for a small workshop like Huitu Village to mine for hundreds of years, and it may not be fully mined.
Not far from the mine, the bricklayers and carpenters of Huitu Village have built several houses. A river is also nearby. Once Roning's porcelain firing method is determined, they can officially start construction.
Some preparatory work needs to be done before construction begins, such as preparing dry firewood, making charcoal with high burning temperatures, etc. The most important thing is to build a kiln.
However, the construction style of this kiln has not yet been finalized and requires experimentation.
Hillwood already has a potter named Jim who knows how to build a kiln to fire pottery.
However, this type of kiln is relatively open and completely different from the sealed kiln needed to fire porcelain.
Under the guidance given by Roning, Jim has begun to transform the open kiln. He believes that building a mini experimental closed kiln with his experience and Roning's technical guidance should not be difficult.
"Sir, the Knights of Feridon led by Sean are coming."
Tom came running over to report, "He said he brought the ransom and medical expenses, and he wants to take Fenris and the others away today."
"It's only been four days, and Baron Leisen has sent the money. It seems that he is indeed honest."
Roning smiled and said, "Now that the money is in place, we will release all the people who should be released. Let Elrond receive them. I won't be there."
Recently, Roning arranged for people to deliver food and drinks to Fenris and others, but it is impossible to say that their condition has recovered very well.
If Baron Leisen had come a few days later, this group of people might not be able to recover in a month or two after returning.
This was not Ronin's abuse of the prisoners. The main reason was that they were high-ranking knights. If they had eaten and drunk well and recovered their strength and condition, Ronin would have to send capable people to guard them.
"Also, Macken should confirm the recruitment of guards with Rydar as soon as possible. We are going back to Hillwood Town."
"Yes, sir!"
Tom rode away.
…
Swamp Town, Baron Leisen's castle.
Ever since the Baron came back from outside, the servants in the castle only felt that there was a dark cloud covering the sky, so dark that it made it hard to breathe.
"Bang!"
A cup exploded on the floor, frightening the male and female servants waiting outside the door.
This is the nth cup the Baron has broken in recent days.
Also, a few days ago, a servant who was sweeping the floor spilled a basin of water out of fear. Baron Leisen ordered the guards to drag the servant to the square and hang him.
There was also a maid who was dragged out by the guards and whipped because bath water spilled on her wound while she was serving. Although she was not beaten to death on the spot, the horrible wound could not be properly treated. In addition, it was extremely cold in winter, so the maid was probably doomed.
So, in the past two days, everyone in the entire Swamp Castle lived in fear, fearing that they would lose their lives if they angered the Baron.
Lei Sen leaned back on a soft sofa made of some unknown leather. Whenever he thought of the scene that day, the anger and humiliation in his heart almost overflowed.
Not only did Roning snatch away the opportunity to occupy the savage tribe, but he also didn't expect to be defeated when he led the team himself. Now, four days have passed, and the injury on his right shoulder has not yet healed completely.
The pain every day told him that he had failed, constantly reminded him that he had lost face in front of his subordinates, and deepened his anger towards Roning.
At this moment, he remembered the scene when Redal's sword was placed on his neck. He had not experienced the feeling of death for many years.
Whenever he thought of it, his face turned pale, as if a fire was burning in his chest. He clenched his left fist, and the veins were exposed.
"Ronin!"
He muttered through gritted teeth. If Tone could kill, he would have killed Ronin thousands of times.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
"Sir, I'm back." Feridon appeared outside.
Lei Sen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger on his face a bit. "Come in," he said.
Feridon walked in, and when he saw the broken cup pieces on the ground, he carefully walked around them.
He consoled her. "Sir, a temporary victory or defeat does not mean anything. We have an absolute advantage over Shanlin Town. As long as the time is right, we can capture and kill Luo Ning."
"Of course, I am quite sure of that."
Lei Sen did not show the same temper as he would towards a servant in front of this follower who had followed him for many years. "If it happens again, I am confident that I can defeat that Ridar."
"I believe in your strength!"
Feridon said: "I have also followed your instructions and asked Joffrey to approach Rydal as soon as he has the chance to convey your goodwill to him."
Lei Sen nodded, "I hope this Ridar will not disappoint me. Following me is the right choice for him."
His hatred was only directed at Ronin. On the contrary, as for Ridal, the first thing he thought of after becoming angry was to recruit him to serve his interests.
So this time, when Feridon delivered the ransom, he also gave Joffrey an order:
Let the latter get closer to Redal, promise him war horses, beauties, servants, estates, money, etc., in an attempt to incite the other party to oppose him.
"The conditions you have offered are very favorable. Besides, Redar has not been with Ronin for a long time. They certainly haven't established a deep master-servant relationship. It is very likely that he will be tempted."
Feridon analyzed and said, "In the future, Ronin will at most be the second Wiggins. It would be fine if he had the right of succession, but now that he has lost it, wise people know that there is no way out by following such a lord."
"If Ridar is smart enough, he will know that only by following a lord like you can he achieve great things in the future."
After hearing what his subordinates said, Lei Sen felt a little better.
He picked up a letter beside him and handed it to Feridon, "Go to Zilei Territory in person and give this letter to Viscount Tiny."
The Purple Thunder Territory is located within the territory of the Earldom of Hyde, and its owner, Viscount Tiny, is loyal to Earl Orson.
Not only that, Tiny's daughter, Danica, whose beauty was as great as that of young Diane and who was also a high-ranking magician, married Barrington, the son of Count Orson.
Feridon took the letter respectfully and said, "Sir, do you want to?"
"It depends on what Viscount Tiny chooses. I am just making a suggestion."
"I see!"
Feridon put the letter into his arms and put it away. "Then, sir, I will leave in the afternoon."
"Well, go and come back soon."
Lei Sen waved his hand and said, "I hope you can bring me good news."
Feridon saluted and quickly retreated.
"Luo Ning, ah Luo Ning, your big appetite is to blame."
Lei Sen narrowed his eyes. "Even if you want to give me the management rights of these three savage tribes now, I will not let you go easily."
