Chapter 4 4 Territory Full of Dangers
Chapter 4 A Territory Full of Dangers
Roning pondered for a long time before picking up a pen and writing down his new surname on the appointment letter - Fiery Storm.
Fiery and storm imply fierceness and vastness. The wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind, which is endless and overwhelming.
Roning uses this word as his surname, which not only implies that he has been reborn, but also hopes that his journey in the future will be as fierce and unstoppable as Fiery Storm!
After all, he has become a small lord in another world. Who doesn't want to become a big lord?
"Please tell my father, the butler, that I use 'Fiery Storm' as my surname. I hope that Wushan Territory and my territory will be as prosperous as the wind blowing the flames."
Holwart nodded repeatedly. This name is well chosen.
"Master, don't worry. I will convey your thoughts to the master!"
He felt that the eldest grandson of the marquis with a bad reputation in front of him was different from the past. Perhaps he had grown a lot after experiencing the sudden change in the past two days.
A mature and stable family member is very important to the current Wushan Territory. Even if this person is no longer surnamed Wushan, the bloodline is still there.
No matter where he goes, the black pupils and silver hair of the Wushan family always exist.
Roning dried the handwriting on the appointment book and put it back into the box.
He glanced at the map spread out on the table, thinking that the butler in front of him might know a little more, so he asked:
"I am about to become the baron of Shanlin Town, but I know nothing about it. Hallwart, do you know anything about Shanlin Town?"
As a butler, Hallwart's knowledge is much higher than that of ordinary servants.
In addition, he has been serving Wiggins for many years, so he will also be exposed to some information.
"Master Luo Ning, I do know a little about Shanlin Town."
He introduced: "Shanlin Town is located in the north of Wushan Territory. It is adjacent to the end of Wushan Monster Mountain Range in the west, and is surrounded by a large area of woodland and hills in the east and north. It is said that the sea is through them. Only the south can lead to the outside world, but there are also rolling hills blocking the road, and the traffic is not very good.
Luo Ning frowned slightly. This place is really a remote area, and it seems to be a little dangerous.
"Won't the monsters in Wushan Monster Mountain Range attack Shanlin Town?" He was a little worried.
"It's possible, Master."
The butler said: "I remember that in these years, the master has successively arranged barons or pioneering knights to take care of Shanlin Town, but they seem to have died in the confrontation with monsters that winter. "
Ronin's face turned pale. Damn, isn't this a dangerous place?
No wonder Wiggins said that those who made contributions had no objection to Ronin being named the Baron of Shanlin Town.
This is a dangerous place with inconvenient transportation. It is estimated that there is no money to be made here. No one wants to be a fiefdom, right?
Holwart saw Ronin's face change, knowing that his introduction scared him, so he comforted him:
"In fact, young master, don't worry. Warcraft is used to going down the mountain to find food when it snows in winter and food is hard to find. At that time, you just need to live in the castle and go out less. "
Ronin smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your advice, I think it is very useful."
"Thank you for your affirmation."
Holwart continued to introduce: "In fact, it's not just Warcraft. There are also some wild tribes in the mountains in the north of Shanlin Town that pose a certain threat."
"More than 20 years ago, the Marquis sent people to encircle and suppress these wild tribes. Although we lost a few guards and knights, we have already hit those guys hard. "
"What! "Ronin was shocked, "There is also a tribe of savages? ?"
Forget about the monsters, but what are these savages, humanoid creatures covered with long hair?
After Hallwart's introduction, Ronin had a certain understanding of the savage tribe in the woods north of Shanlin Town.
The savage tribe is not savages, but the remnants of the defeated army who fled into the mountains after being hunted by the Marquis more than 20 years ago.
At first, the clearing army went in and out of the forest many times, killing the enemy.
Later, due to the remote location of Shanlin Town and the lack of supplies, the problem was put on hold and not completely cleared.
Over time, those remnants absorbed some thieves, bandits, refugees and the like who fled into the mountains, and gradually formed the current savage tribe.
It sounds scary, but the actual combat effectiveness is not very high, otherwise Shanlin Town without a lord would have been annexed by the savage tribe long ago.
But Ronin is still very worried, he must make some preparations to ensure his safety.
"Mr. Butler, has the Earl arranged guards or family elite soldiers for me? "
Theoretically, children who leave home to start a business will have some resource support from their families.
It's just that Wiggins is a person who is hard to say.
"Uh..."
Holwart hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Sorry, young master, the master didn't arrange any guards or elite soldiers."
Sure enough, the father of the previous life didn't give Roning any surprises.
"What about money? Food? Horses?"
Holwart still shook his head. It was obvious that Wiggins didn't have any resource support.
"Okay, I know!"
Roning acted very decadent, and he sat down on the chair.
If you want to be prepared, you must get material or financial support from others, especially money. With it, Roning can go out and buy it.
He must find a way to get some money.
"It seems that I can only ask for it shamelessly."
After making this decision, Roning was ready to start acting.
He learned from his memory that Wiggins and his previous mother Fatima were very much in love. If she had not died unexpectedly, he would not have had a stepmother named Diane Hyde.
"It seems that the Earl doesn't treat me as his son at all. Has he forgotten the promise he made to my mother?"
Roning looked sad, "He once promised my mother that he would protect my sister and me with his own life, but now, I am about to go to a dangerous place like Shanlin Town, but he doesn't even give me a guard or a gold coin!"
"He clearly wants me to die in Shanlin Town!"
Roning looked directly into Hallward's eyes until the latter's eyes were dodging and dared not look at him. Then he said in a tone that was three parts crying, three parts complaining, and four parts angry:
"If I have an accident on the road or in the territory, I will definitely tell my mother in heaven that the man she loves is a cruel person who doesn't keep his promise!"
"I really feel sorry for my mother!"
"Master, you... don't get excited first."
Holward was a little flustered. He just came to deliver a letter of appointment and didn't expect such a scene to happen suddenly.
The Earl's son, the Baron of Shanlin Town, actually cried in front of him.
A noble, this is the first time to cry to a butler.
He quickly made up a reason to comfort him: "Maybe, maybe the master is just too busy and forgot, I will remind him when I go back later."
Roning touched the corner of his eyes and pretended to wipe away tears, but his eyes were actually dry.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Butler, and please tell my words to the Earl and ask him if he still remembers a woman named Fatima Sari."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Hallward quickly agreed, and then politely and hurriedly left the room.
After seeing the butler leave, Roning let out a long breath.
In just half a day, he has performed two plays in a row. He feels quite tired as he is not an actor.
Back to the attribute panel, Roning used up the 1 attribute point he got from signing in today and added it to the level.
[Level]: Mortal (0/10) → (1/10)
Instantly, Luo Ning felt the fatigue disappear, and at the same time, he felt that his physical and mental strength had been strengthened to a certain extent.
"The points added in the mortal stage should be the process of getting rid of my previous weak constitution."
He looked at the other four interfaces with great satisfaction.
The sign-in is automatic, and he does not need to operate;
The seven-day login and achievement tasks are also completed automatically, but the rewards need to be collected manually.
Now he can collect the first day's reward, and he can get a subordinate with the qualifications to become a level 6 golden knight.
But now is not the time to collect the reward.
The sudden appearance of a stranger in the Marquis's mansion is bound to arouse suspicion from others.
Lu Ning does not want this matter to be exposed.
"No hurry, wait until I go out to collect it. The most important thing now is to make money!"
Where to get the money?
Lu Ning tapped the table with his fingers.
In the entire castle, there are only a few people who control the wealth - Grandfather Marquis Rulans, father Earl Wiggins, stepmother Diane, and brother Breton.
Wiggins has already asked the butler Hallward to talk to him, and Diane may also be present.
So Roning doesn't need to make plans for these two people.
And his brother Breton is not at home at the Extraordinary Academy in Wushan City at the moment, so the only one left is Rulans.
He has just been deprived of his inheritance rights and was rewarded with a baron. Is it appropriate for Roning to ask Rulans for resource support?
People with thin skin may not want to go, but Roning doesn't care. He is a little thick-skinned.
Roning followed his memory and ran to the outside of the old marquis's single-family house.
He could hear Rulans coughing inside, and several servants busying around.
"Grandpa~"
Roning called out and then walked into the room.
