Chapter 196 Promotion
Roning opened his attribute panel only after Wilson and others left.
[Level]: 4-Bronze Knight (344/800); 4-Great Magician (0/1200)
[Attribute Points]: 564
[Energy Essence]: 1941
It is now the fifteenth day of the first month, and the two heartwarming gift packs before this month brought him 40 and 50 attribute points and energy essence, respectively.
Combined with the sign-ins at other times and the new achievement rewards he just received, his current attribute points and energy essence have once again increased to impressive numbers.
"More than 500 attribute points are enough to max out my knight level!"
He didn't delay and directly consumed all his attribute points.
[Level]: 4-Bronze Knight (800/800); 4-Great Magician (108/1200)
In an instant, the mysterious energy that emerged from nowhere entered Roning's body and was completely absorbed by his internal organs.
Roning only felt his heart beating strongly and the blood flowing more rapidly in his body as if he could release endless power as long as he wanted.
At the same time, improving mental strength also made Roning's five senses more acute.
He could feel the touch of the wind blowing across his skin and hear the birds singing in the distance. Everything around him seemed to become clear.
Luo Ning stood up, picked up the Liuyan Sword, and came to the yard outside the house, performing the fourth-level fighting skills and magic without hesitation, quickly diluting the pleasure brought by the rapid improvement.
Chahar, who was waiting in the distance with a kettle and a towel, discovered that some time ago, he had completely lost the ability to assess the lord's level of strength.
After a while, Luo Ning stopped practicing, wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Chahar, "Go and inform Riedal. I have something to talk to him about."
The energy essence has accumulated to nearly two thousand points, and it is time to consume it.
Considering his weak strength and the dangers around him, Roning invested all his energy and spirit into McKen, which allowed him to skip the bronze level and become a silver knight directly.
But now the situation is a little different.
Roning's strength has improved. As a bronze-peak knight and a great magician, it is rare for him to be unable to resist any enemy, whether it is a monster or an assassin.
At least in his territory, he can move freely without needing anyone's protection.
As a result, Roning's dependence on McCann was reduced a lot.
On the contrary, as the territory develops further, the importance of Ridal will increase.
In addition, the commander made great contributions to the expedition against the Black Collar Tribe. Even if the energy essence is taken as a reward, it is time for Ronin to give some to Ridal.
In addition to Redal, there should also be plans to enhance Elrond's abilities.
After all, whether Lulans can be cured is closely related to the level of this light magician.
"Sir, you are looking for me."
That night, Redal came to Ronin's room.
"How was the inspection of Swamp Town these two days?" Roning asked.
The public security problem in Swamp Town is more serious than that in Forest Town. On the one hand, many people are here, and the settlements are very concentrated. On the other hand, the lord has just been replaced. Some people may think that the new lord is easy to talk to, so they deliberately bully their neighbors and stir up trouble in the past few days.
Roning noticed this problem, so he asked McKen to take charge of the local security with cavalry and infantry, arrest all those quarreling or fighting, and put them to work.
In addition to public security issues, there are also threats to survival.
The swamp is not peaceful. Dangerous wild beasts and monsters may exist. Redal's hunter team is responsible for this kind of problem.
"In the past two days, I have led the knights to search the dangerous areas reported by the people."
Riedal reported: "No danger was found in three of the places, but in another place, we found a three-meter-long crocodile, which we killed and brought back."
Roning raised his eyebrows. A three-meter-long crocodile was not big, but it still threatened those who raised and fished in the swamp.
"Is it a monster?"
"No, just an ordinary beast."
Rydar nodded and added, "Jenny knocked it out with two water arrows."
Jenny is a water magician, and the environment of Swamp Town is very good for her, as it greatly improves her speed in meditation and refining mana.
If Roning builds a new city somewhere else in the future, he can let Jenny take over Swamp Town.
"Sir, after we finish clearing out the swamp town in a few days, I will take the knights and split up to act."
Rydal reported: "Joffrey will lead a group of people back to Hillwood Town to clear out the enemy from the Ironwood Workshop to Wushan, while I will lead the rest of the people north from the Black Collar Tribe."
Roning nodded.
Knight Horn and Joffrey both mentioned that many members of the former wildling tribe had died in the woods further north. Ronin's men needed to investigate whether there was danger in any other situation.
Now that Wubei Territory is Roning's territory, it's time to walk around.
"Okay, you'll be responsible for these things. If the prey you kill is a magical beast, you can give it to me. You can divide it among yourselves if it's an ordinary wild beast."
Although ordinary beast leather and the like can be sold for some money, the price is limited, and Roning is not short of those gold coins.
"Yes, sir."
Ridar agreed with a smile, "I want to use that crocodile skin to make a small leather armor."
Luo Ning smiled but said nothing.
Although his three subordinates were summoned, they are all living people with their personalities, not NPCs. It is normal for them to have their ideas.
"You can ask Chahar to help with this matter, or you can ask Tom's mother, Ms. Leah, to do it."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "You all get paid every month anyway. If you have money, why are you worried about not being able to find people to work for you?"
"That's what your Excellency said."
Ridar smiled and said, "I just hope there will be more caravans coming to the territory so it will be more convenient for us to buy things."
"There will be a caravan."
Swamp Town is not as remote as Forest Town, so traveling merchants will be willing to come here.
"We will also form a caravan. If you have anything special you want to buy in the future, you can entrust our caravan to buy it on your behalf, or you can take a leave and go to Muma City to buy it yourself."
The two of them talked for a while, and Roning found that Redal knew a lot about commanding and governing territories and that it was worth his investment.
He looked at the other party's progress in cultivation, which was already at 29/800 and increased by +1 every day.
"There is another reason why I asked you to come here this time."
Roning brought the topic back from the training of archers.
Riedal stopped talking and looked at the lord, thinking the other party had something to plan.
However, he did not expect a mysterious energy to descend upon him, activating his body's fighting spirit and blood like boiling water.
"This is?"
In such a long time since he was summoned, Redal has never experienced the pleasure brought by adding points. This is his first time.
"I will first raise your strength to the silver level."
As Roning explained, he invested 771 points of energy essence into Ridar, which allowed him to surpass the peak of bronze and be successfully promoted to silver knight.
Buzz~
As the level increased, mysterious silver-white lines appeared on Redal's body surface. This was the sign that the knight had been promoted to silver.
"It's amazing!"
Rydar clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling. "My skin and internal organs have been incredibly strengthened with every breath!"
He had heard from McKen and Elrond that the lord had such a miraculous ability, but today was his first time experiencing it, and it still felt incredible.
Luo Ning asked, satisfied, "Rydar, do you have the confidence to challenge the gold level?"
At that time, Redal defeated the bronze-level Leisen with the strength of a high-level knight, and the higher the level, the better.
After listening to this, Riedal closed his eyes and thought momentarily. This breakthrough naturally awakened a memory that was helpful to his combat power and daily training.
When he opened his eyes again, he shook his head. "In my current state, it's difficult unless the other party is not good at fighting."
Luo Ning nodded slightly.
Golden Knights generally have been fighting for decades. Of course, some are not good at fighting, but there are not many. Most of them are quite capable.
It is quite difficult to let Ridar, a knight who has just reached the silver level, challenge them across levels.
"It doesn't matter, time is on our side."
Roning was not discouraged by this.
If he wanted Ridal to win the gold, he just had to invest all his remaining 1,170 energy essences.
However, the current need for the Golden Knights in Wubei Territory is not urgent.
After all, it is rare for a viscounty with a population of less than 20,000 to have two silver knights simultaneously.
