Chapter 313: Unexpected Conflict

Generally speaking, only by becoming a Silver Moon Knight can one briefly hover in the air and possess a certain degree of flight capability.

But for wind-element Magicians, once they become a Level 7 Great Magus, they can fly freely in the air by relying on the Wind Wings magic.

Although Luoning has Kaierluosi, he can also gallop freely in the air.

But this is, after all, relying on external force, and there are certain limitations in some situations; it is far from as willful as mastering the flight ability oneself.

Moreover, although Wind Wings is an auxiliary magic, it can bring an aerial advantage to one's side in battle, and there are quite a few benefits to choosing it.

Just like that, after some searching, Luoning left the library with "Scorching Ray" and "Wind Wings".

Listening to the Knight's report, Bruno could not help but shake his head and chuckle upon learning that Luoning had chosen a secret technique and a magic book.

"This kid is only a Silver Knight, yet he has chosen a secret technique that only those at the Meteor level can learn."

Buluoer also laughed: "Secret techniques are priceless and hard to find outside; if it were me, I am afraid I would also make such a choice."

"Not picking what is suitable for the present, only picking the most expensive; I can understand that."

Bruno could not help but be puzzled: "But tell me, why did he choose this Level 7 magic?"

In their view, for Luoning to become a Silver Knight at the age of eighteen, he must have absolutely devoted most of his time to the training of a Professional Knight.

A person's time is limited; if one invests more in Knight training, one invests less in the Magician path.

Even if Luoning is a Magician, his level would not be very high.

And according to statistics, the general age of a Level 7 Great Magus is in the range of 60 to 90; Luoning is only eighteen, so I am afraid he will have to wait decades to be able to use the Wind Wings he chose.

In Bruno's view, Luoning choosing this magic book is a complete waste of an opportunity; it would have been better to choose a Level 6 Battle Technique.

"Sure enough, he is still too young and inevitably a bit ambitious. Things that cannot be used have no value in one's hands. And when the day comes that he actually becomes a Great Magus, is he afraid he won't be able to get a magic book?"

Bruno shook his head; he was just sighing, but he did not have the thought of letting Luoning choose again.

"How is the interrogation of the White Whale Pirate Group members going over at Niujiao Bay?" he asked, changing the subject.

Minister of Administration Asenuo replied: "Currently, the pirates have confessed everything they should have; as for the rest, such as who exactly is the mastermind behind this assassination, even if we beat them to death, I estimate they wouldn't be able to say anything of substance."

Speaking of this, he added: "Oh, that's right, Your Majesty, there is a captain in the pirate group named Weike who is said to have been taken into service by Luoning. I don't know if you agree with this matter?"

"This group of pirates are Luoning's captives and should rightfully become Luoning's Slaves; he has the right to decide how to deal with them."

"I understand."

Asenuo nodded, "It just so happens that for this encirclement of the White Whale Pirate Group, this captain named Weike can still lead the way, which will be quite convenient."

"Hmm, arrange the personnel, and after Princess Blanche's birthday banquet ends, let Luoning lead a team to go and eradicate the stronghold of the White Whale Pirate Group."

Sharp Horn Castle.

Viscount Weituolinuo read the letter sent by Joli from Niujiao Bay, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

"Fleming!"

He said this surname viciously, clearly convinced that the incident at sea this time was a trick played by the Earl of Screaming Island behind the scenes.

Although the main target of this assassination was Luoning, he did not doubt for a moment that his eldest son Lisi was also on the other party's must-kill list.

The destruction of Dennis No. 3 is a small matter, but for his son, on whom he pinned high hopes, to be buried at sea is something Weituolinuo is unwilling to accept no matter what.

"Luqi, you immediately take the First and Third Knight Squads and board Dennis I and II to go to Niujiao Bay. After Princess Blanche's birthday ends, bring Lisi and Luoning back."

He did not want to face risks on the return journey.

"In addition, tell Lisi for me that he can decide for himself regarding the matter of going to the Wubei Territory to serve Luoning. No matter what he chooses, I will support him. The current Luoning is indeed worth building a good relationship with."

Speaking of this, he added another sentence: "However, you must also tell Lisi that the person our Dennis Family follows will only be the master of the Wushan Territory. As the eldest son of the Dennis Family, he can serve under Luoning for a period of time, but he cannot follow Luoning."

For a family heir to change the liege they follow—if this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of the Dennis Family, and Weituolinuo does not want that.

"Yes, my Lord!"

Knight Captain Luqi of Jianjiao City bowed to accept the order.

Weituolinuo furrowed his brows tightly.

After the assassination incident at sea, he felt more and more in his heart that it was necessary to build a port in the Wubei Territory.

Under the coordination of Count Hesusu, the Fleming Family had just signed a peace agreement with Jianjiao City, and in the blink of an eye, they made a move against his son. It is very clear that there is no room for mediation in the conflict between the Dennis and Fleming families.

A peace agreement, in the eyes of the other party, is perhaps something that can be disregarded or torn up at any time.

Once the port in the Wubei Territory is successfully built, if there is a conflict with the Fleming Family in the future, with two ports, the Dennis Family will not be blocked off; instead, there will be an opportunity to surround the other party.

On the other hand, Luoning, having selected the books, was not in a hurry to go back and read them; after all, his strength was not enough yet, and he was not qualified to learn them.

So, under the guidance of Blanche, the two of them wandered around the Jinyu Palace.

This stroll lasted an entire afternoon. It was not until it was getting late that Luoning sent Blanche back to the Moon Shadow Palace. After a reluctant farewell, Luoning headed straight for his own residence.

But just as he was about to reach the courtyard, he was attracted by the crowd gathered on the road ahead.

Vaguely, he could hear the mocking laughter of this group of people, and amidst the mocking laughter, the voices of Tangmu and Dawei seemed to be mixed in.

"What is going on?"

Luoning frowned and walked forward quickly.

He did not even know this group of nobles, let alone Tangmu and Dawei, who came from commoner families.

But before he had walked a few steps, he heard a shout coming from the front.

"Get lost!"

Then two dull thudding sounds rang out; Tangmu and Dawei were kicked flying seven or eight meters away by someone.

"Mos, Haman, go and teach these two impolite fellows a good lesson; let them know what kind of attitude they should have when facing nobles!"

"Yes!"

Two loud voices rang out, and two tall Knights were seen detaching themselves from the crowd, actually charging toward Tangmu and Dawei, who had fallen to the ground and had not yet climbed up.

Luoning's expression sank.

Based on his understanding of his two attendants, it was absolutely impossible for Tangmu and Dawei to easily offend other nobles, especially since Luoning had specifically warned them when he left in the morning.

"Let's see who dares!"

Luoning let out a cold snort, his entire body turning into an afterimage as he appeared before Tangmu and Dawei.

Seeing someone blocking their path, the two Knights were stunned for a moment, but their offensive did not stop immediately; instead, they lunged toward Luoning.

"Overestimating your own capabilities!"

The Yanliu Sword left its sheath, sweeping out in a single stroke.

The Battle Qi transformed into a powerful gale, simultaneously carrying over a dozen Wind Blades as it swept toward the two men; this was precisely the Bronze-ranked Wind Attribute Battle Technique, Storm Blade.

The two men who had charged up scrambled to respond, but they were still slashed by the Wind Blades, falling to the ground in agonizing wails as blood sprayed everywhere.

"My Lord!"

Tangmu and Dawei shouted in pleasant surprise.

Luoning turned his head to glance at the two of them, then shifted his gaze toward the group of people in front.

"Wantonly killing a noble's attendant Knights within the Jinyu Palace—have you thought about what the consequences will be?" (End of chapter)
