Chapter 333: Rendezvous and Departure

On the main road outside the Golden Feather Palace, Luoning and Blanche were saying their final goodbyes.

After spending five or six days together, and having had intimate contact, their feelings for each other had warmed up rapidly, and they were both somewhat reluctant to part at this moment.

However, in the public eye, the two could only exchange parting words and did not make any overly intimate gestures.

Not far away, Knight Mixi watched the state of the two, a flash of envy crossing her eyes.

Before long, Luoning waved to Blanche, then turned and mounted his horse, leading his party toward Niujiao Bay.

"I didn't expect His Majesty the King to arrange for you to lead the team and go to sea with me."

Luoning rode side-by-side with Mixi.

To tell the truth, when he heard that the royal knights were to be led by Mixi, he was quite surprised by Bruno's arrangement.

Knowing the situation between Kalada and Mixi, the other party still made such an arrangement; could it be that Bruno was still keen on playing matchmaker and had taken up the job of an old man under the moon?

"I didn't expect it either."

Under Mixi's armor mask, her expression could not be seen, "However, I still have to thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

Luoning couldn't help but tease: "Thank me for creating an opportunity for you and Kalada?"

Mixi turned her head to glance at Luoning; although there was a warning in her eyes, she did not verbally refute this statement.

"Sometimes I dislike the distinction between nobles and commoners. It makes my father see only interests and not simply view me as his daughter. At the same time, it also limits my freedom, preventing me from doing what I want to do."

"Your thoughts are very dangerous, Knight Mixi." Luoning warned, "Don't tell me you want to overthrow the noble class."

These were words Luoning dared not speak easily, yet today they came from the mouth of a woman.

Overthrowing the noble class was cutting into the cake of this class, and it would inevitably be attacked by all nobles.

"Haha, you really know how to joke."

Mixi shook her head: "I am just lamenting, where would I have such ability?"

Because of Blanche and Kalada, she felt close to Luoning, which was why she spoke her thoughts.

What she had always been doing was strengthening herself and mastering her own commands, but she had never thought about overthrowing the noble class.

Luoning suggested: "Knight Mixi, if you are with Kalada in the future, how about serving me together? His Majesty the King promised to give me a few Griffins, and I will leave them for you to be responsible for."

When a woman marries a man, she generally follows the man to live.

That is to say, if Kalada and Mixi could make it work, the Wubei Territory would have one more young female Silver knight, and one who possessed many years of flight experience at that.

Under the mask, Mixi's cheeks were slightly red; she stopped responding to Luoning and accelerated slightly to move ahead.

But in her heart, she was imagining the possibility of Luoning's words.

While Luoning was still on the road to Niujiao Bay, Lisi Danisi, who had arrived early, had already rendezvoused with his family's team.

On the deck of Dennis I, he met the captain of the First Knight Squad of Jianjiao City, who was also his teacher in his youth, Baron Luchi Bogesi.

At this moment, they were having a dispute over some matters.

"Lisi, please forgive my bluntness. Although we have a grudge against the White Whale Pirate Group, you should have discussed it with your father, Lord Weituolinuo, before making this decision."

Baron Luchi Bogesi protested to Lisi.

His mission this time was to safely escort Lisi back to Jianjiao City; Viscount Weituolinuo had never told him to go and exterminate the White Whale Pirate Group or land on Jiliu Island.

If it were just exterminating the White Whale Pirate Group, he could barely accept it; after all, the other party had launched an attack on the Dennis Family at sea, and the two sides were considered to have a feud.

But supporting Luoning to go to Jiliu Island had absolutely nothing to do with Jianjiao City.

Although he was the captain of the Knight Squad, he dared not act rashly without the formal order of Viscount Weituolinuo.

Even if the person proposing the action was the future heir of Jianjiao City, it would not do.

Because, once a huge loss occurred, he could not afford it.

"Don't worry, Teacher. I have already written a letter to inform my father. I believe he will reply today or tomorrow."

Lisi did not have the right to directly command the Knight Squad; accompanying Luoning to sea required Luchi's cooperation.

After some negotiation, he finally convinced the other party.

"Fine, I will agree to your arrangement for now. I will have the crew prepare the supplies for the voyage at Niujiao Bay, which will take a day or two."

Luchi sighed: "But I still have to say, no matter the degree of friendship you have with Luoning, nobles need to pay attention to interests. On the matter of Jiliu Island, we have not gained any benefits, but instead have to waste our funds and let our knights risk their lives."

Lisi nodded, "I understand. I will propose the conditions you just mentioned to Luoning."

Luchi was loyal to Jianjiao City, and he would inevitably consider things from the perspective of Jianjiao City's interests.

So in the previous negotiation, he proposed three conditions based on the situation:

First, Luoning needed to pay for all the consumption costs of the operation after the pirate group was exterminated, mainly the consumption of food and other supplies;

Second, if there were casualties in the battle, Luoning needed to pay the corresponding pension;

Third, if more than one ship was damaged in the battle, then Luoning needed to compensate for the ship.

These three conditions were not complicated, and each was relatively reasonable.

After all, although Luoning was surnamed Wushan, he was not the liege of Jianjiao City, and without the authorization of Wushan Castle, he had no right to issue a conscription order to Jianjiao City.

In this situation, asking the other party for help required paying the corresponding remuneration.

Luchi proposing these three points was considered quite tactful.

Especially the third point; the other party was likely taking into account that in the previous naval battle, Luoning had captured a ship for Jianjiao City, which was why he proposed the wording "more than one ship."

Therefore, when Luoning arrived at the pier and heard these three proposals from Lisi, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"I will be responsible for these three things."

Luoning agreed, "You can tell Luchi that our operation this time, in addition to the support of the royal knights, also has the protection of Baron Meilongnika, so the overall danger is not very high."

Lisi nodded.

He knew Meilongnika's combat power, and Luchi knew it as well.

However, only Luoning knew that this quiet Baron was already a Meteor Knight at this moment.

To tell the truth, when he heard this news from Lulansi's letter, he was stunned for a moment.

He had not expected that with Lulansi seriously ill and Aosen crippled, Wushan Territory would still give birth to a third Meteor Knight.

As someone loyal to Wushan Castle, Meilongnika's advancement was clearly very beneficial.

Furthermore, if Lulansi could recover in the future, there would be two Meteor Knights standing on the side of Wushan Castle, and both were experts in combat.

If one were to add Luoning, Aierlong, and Ruidar, and even Maiken.

The number of Level 7 Transcendents in Wushan Territory would reach an astonishing six!

No matter where one went, this was an astonishing combat force. (End of chapter)
