Chapter 187: Being attacked by surprise
The news that Luo Ning became the Viscount of Wubei Territory quickly spread among the nobles, and it was likely that the entire Wushan Territory would know the news soon.
This was a happy event for Luo Ning, so he accidentally became the protagonist at the dinner party and was inevitably toasted and toasted.
When some people are happy, naturally, some people are sad.
The banquet hall was bustling with activity, but the people of Black Python City were not happy. They had not even come to the dinner today.
As the temporary host, Roning had to ask Hallwart and the servants to deliver the food. At the same time, he also visited Orson in person in the courtyard.
The border earl, who had been full of vigor and vitality in the past two days, lay on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was extremely pale, and his appearance had aged a lot.
Orson now gives people the feeling of a cat that has just been castrated, without his usual mischievous spirit.
Roning learned from Bretton that in the evening, Orson locked himself in the room and did not let anyone in. Screams kept coming out of the room, making the people waiting outside feel cold.
Just before the dinner, they heard no sound in the room, and no one responded when they knocked on the door. They became worried and forced their way in, then helped Orson to the bed to rest.
No one knew what Orson did in the room, but Lulans's guess seemed correct.
Orson must have used his fighting spirit to madly suppress the Soul Devouring Surge, which led to the fierce counterattack of the black energy, causing him to faint in the room on the spot.
…
After dinner, Roning accompanied Blanche for a walk in the castle park.
Although the two have not known each other for long, they understand each other well.
Especially for Blanche, she could only see Roning whenever she closed her eyes these past two days. She wasn't obsessed with him, but the scene in the Colosseum where she was held in Roning's arms while killing the enemy left a deep impression on her.
"Ronin, Broll has made arrangements. We will set off back to the capital tomorrow morning. Thank you for your company and care over the past two days."
"This is what should be done."
Luo Ning asked, "How long will it take you to return?"
He was curious about how fast the griffin was.
Blanche thought for a moment and said, "About two days. We will stop at Pointed City tomorrow afternoon and set off again after a night's rest. We will arrive at the capital around noon the day after tomorrow."
It can be heard that the princess's traveling party is not in a hurry. They will fly in the sky for six hours daily.
The distance from Wushanbao to the royal capital is not short, but the fact that they can arrive there in half a day shows that the griffin is very fast. Its estimated speed should be over 100 kilometers per hour.
"That's very fast. I wish you a safe journey."
Blanche tilted her head and looked at the handsome man beside her. When His Majesty Bruno initially asked her to come to Wushan Castle, she felt slightly resistant, but now this resistance was gone. Instead, she felt worried and lost.
If a marriage wanted to take place, she would not refuse, but until now, she had not seen a clear statement on Roning's face.
She mustered the courage to ask, "If I invite you to visit the capital city, will you come?"
Luo Ning pondered seriously and answered earnestly: "I have just become the Viscount of Wubei Territory and took over the Sean Territory. Many affairs must be waiting for me to deal with in the territory. I guess I am very busy."
"Oh, I see." The light in Blanche's eyes dimmed; she lowered her head silently, and her voice became softer.
She had countless thoughts in her mind at that moment and even wondered if Luo Ning was afraid to contact her because of those rumors and was afraid of being killed by her.
Although Luo Ning has never been in love, he has seen a lot of strategies.
Of course, she knows that when a girl invites you and asks if you will come, she wants a positive response.
He smiled wickedly, "But I will go if Her Royal Highness invites me. Even if the territory's affairs are very busy, I will make time for it."
Blanche looked up suddenly, her lavender eyes sparkling with surprise, "Really?"
"Certainly!"
Luo Ning looked the other person straight in the eye and said, "But you have to inform me in advance. I need to make arrangements in advance."
"I will!"
Blanche smiled so hard that her eyelashes curved. "I'm really glad you agreed to come!"
"It's my honor to receive an invitation from Her Royal Highness the Princess." Luo Ning said with a smile.
The lights in the park were not bright, but in Blanche's eyes, Roning seemed to be emitting endless light, which deeply attracted her.
Blanche didn't know where she got the courage from, but she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Roning on the lips lightly.
Maybe it was because of the cold weather; Blanche's lips were quite cold.
However, this also stunned Roning. He did not expect the other party to make such a bold move. In the moment after reacting, his heartbeat inevitably accelerated.
Blanche's cheeks were hot at this moment. She lifted her skirt and ran away quickly. "Good night, Ronin. I am very happy tonight."
Roning touched her lips and couldn't help laughing as she watched Blanche reunite with Missy in the distance and leave.
Was this considered a stolen kiss?
Back at his residence, Ronin visited Joffrey.
With a change of environment and the dual treatment of therapy and medicine, Joffrey spent the day quite well, and his overall complexion improved significantly.
Joffrey felt that Ronin valued him and was extremely grateful. However, it was still hard for him to believe that such a lord favored him.
"Macon, Tom, we'll leave for the territory in a few days."
In Joffrey's bedroom, Rhonin began to plan his return journey.
"I need you to go to Wushan City to buy some things for me in the next two days."
"Please give your instructions, sir."
First, Roning must purchase a batch of level three and level four Warcraft leather and spell ink of the corresponding level to make spell scrolls.
As of now, the third-level magic of Detective Wind, Speed, and Pyroblast are all very useful;
the fourth-level magic of Wind Tentacles and Flame Pillar is also very good, especially the latter, which can greatly impact a group battle.
This can be kept for use even if you don't sell it.
In this world, spell scrolls can be regarded as weapons and ammunition. If a war breaks out, there will never be too many of these things.
In addition, Luo Ning also needs to buy some books.
When he left Shanlin Town, he promised to bring a lot of books to Irene. Now that he has returned with great success, he can't forget the other party's small gift.
Roning was not hurrying to buy other seeds, such as corn, oats, alfalfa, etc.
After taking over the Sean Territory, he can look around to see what is missing and then go to the Horse Herder City to buy it.
Getting to the Horse Herder City from Senling is much more convenient than Shanlin Town.
Roning even considered moving his permanent residence from Mountain Forest Town to Swamp Town. After all, Baron Leisen's castle must be more luxurious and solid than his Mountain Forest Castle.
Anyway, with the Treading Cloud Horse, it won't take much time to travel back and forth between several places.
A new territory still needs a lord to be in charge of stabilizing it quickly.
After dealing with some trivial matters with McKen and Tom, Roning finally had his moment of rest.
As midnight approached, familiar words popped up, but this time, the content was different from before:

Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh, "The new year is off to a good start."
