Chapter 400: Daianni's Request

Luoning returned to Zhaozebao.

Logically speaking, after Aierlong checked the letters, he could have had someone send the Spell Scroll of potent Healing Spell to Wushan Town.

However, considering the high value of the Spell Scroll, he did not make the decision on his own.

In any case, even with a fast horse, it would take two or three days to reach Wushan Town, so it was better to wait these two days for Luoning to return and bring it himself; the latter would likely be faster.

Luoning obtained the Spell Scroll and, at the same time, learned from Aierlong about the recent results of the knights in the territory taking Magic Potion.

After Luogena successfully advanced, his wife Kelami also successfully became an Advanced Knight.

Besides that, Dawei relied on his own ability to become an Intermediate Knight;

Lisi spent some of his own money to purchase two bottles of Bronze-level Auxiliary Enhancement Potion, though the specific effects are currently unknown.

However, judging from their meeting at the dock, Luoning estimated that the other party had not yet advanced.

"My Lord, now the outside world knows that we have potions that can improve strength, and many people hope to purchase some."

There are no walls without cracks in this world, and Luoning did not force everyone to keep it absolutely secret; it was perfectly normal for outsiders to know about the Enhancement Potion and the Awakening Potion.

"According to what we discussed before, a batch of Awakening Potion can be sold externally. As for the Enhancement Potion, it depends on the situation; if the buyer has a good relationship with us, we can sell some at our discretion."

The main issue is that the production capacity is too low.

If the supply of magic materials is sufficient, and with enough Magicians in Wubei Territory, once production increases, any kind of potion can be taken out for external sale.

While the two were talking, the door was knocked, and it was Galun coming to report: "Master, Lady Daianni heard that you have returned and wishes to see you."

Luoning was a bit surprised; was she looking for him regarding the porcelain of Wubei Territory, or was it about Heimang City?

"Take her to the living room to sit for a while; I will be there shortly."

"Very well, Master."

Next, Luoning informed Aierlong about the matters between Wushan Territory and Heimang City.

Facing the war that might break out, Wubei Territory did not need to raise an army to participate this time, but as a descendant of the Wushan Family, Luoning himself still had to go to war.

Therefore, during the time he was away, Aierlong would have to take care of the territory's affairs.

Of course, general matters would be resolved by Wilson, Chahaer, Ruige, and others; there were not many things that required Aierlong to step in personally.

After giving the instructions, Luoning then came to the living room.

Daianni was sitting on a chair looking through the drawing paper in her hand; ever since she agreed to improve the drawing skills for Luoning's porcelain, she had been busy with this matter.

"Are you getting used to living in Swamp Town, my Lady?" Luoning greeted.

Daianni put down the drawing paper in her hand and smiled gently, "It's alright; life here is much more fulfilling than it was in Wushan Castle!"

Now she was leading some people in Swamp Town and had opened a drawing class to pass on techniques to the painters who would soon be working in the porcelain workshop.

The painters' foundation was just so-so, and she could not demand too much, so she could only start teaching from the simplest things like flowers, plants, and animals.

Moreover, painting on porcelain blanks was different from their artistic pursuits; these were, after all, commodities meant for mass production, and the key was to practice until they reached the point of proficiency.

"Luoning, I have seen many novel things in your territory."

She patted the drawing paper in her hand, "Take this kind of paper, for example; although it is not as exquisite as parchment, it feels very good to use, and I hear it is also simpler to produce. If you could sell this kind of paper externally, I estimate you could earn quite a lot of gold coins."

She had briefly learned that although Wubei Territory had only been developed for a short time, there were too many commodities with great potential.

Ironwood, porcelain, Silk, and paper—these were all new things, and compared to the Black Water Buffalo and some aquatic products of Zhaozebao, their value was many times greater.

This place was destined to become a land of wealth.

"The current production is not high, but I believe it will soon be available for external sale."

Daianni nodded; she knew Luoning would not miss this business opportunity, and this was very reasonable.

"I heard from your Administrative Chief Wilson that you are currently improving the quality of this paper; I am very optimistic about it!"

"I believe it will be able to catch up with parchment."

Luoning responded with a smile, and he brought the topic back to the point: "I wonder what business you have in coming to see me?"

Daianni hesitated for a moment, but still made up her mind to say it: "I know about the recent actions of the Wushan Castle Knights; they are targeting Heimang City, and it seems a war is inevitable."

As the Countess of Wushan City, Luoning was not at all surprised that she knew about this matter.

"I'm sorry, my Lady, if you want me to mediate this war, I cannot do it."

He shook his head, "Your father, Earl Aosen, went too far this time; assassinating Dean Milosilafu is a crime that we cannot easily mediate."

Daianni opened her mouth, her beautiful lips highlighting her surprise.

She had guessed that something big had happened, but she had not expected it to be this serious.

She could not understand her father and brother; how had they become like madmen, capable of doing anything?

Daianni had a bitter expression, "I am not asking you to help me mediate; they should pay the price for their recklessness and crimes."

She paused and slowly stated her request, "If it really comes to that point, I hope you can spare the lives of Kalima and Tuomulisi. I know you and the Haide Family do not have a good relationship, but this has nothing to do with them."

Kalima and Tuomulisi were Aosen's granddaughter and grandson, especially the latter, who was not very old.

Come to think of it, the crimes of Aosen and Balindun did not involve these two.

"I heard you wanted to have Kalima marry Buleidun?"

Luoning asked, then shook his head: "I advise you not to do this; marriage between close relatives is not good for the offspring."

Daianni was startled; she understood what Luoning meant. Simply put, Luoning opposed such a marriage alliance.

"That was an idea from before; now I will not interfere too much in Buleidun's marriage. I just want to leave some bloodline for the Haide Family."

"That would be best, and Buleidun would be happy too. But as for how to deal with the people of the Haide Family, I cannot make that decision."

Luoning thought for a moment; since Lulansi had arrived in Wushan Town, this meant he had already revealed the information about his recovery to the outside world, so he did not need to hide it from Daianni.

"You might not know yet, but Grandfather has already recovered, and now Wushan Territory is under his command."

Daianni widened her eyes; at this moment, she understood why the Wushan Castle Knights had mobilized on such a large scale—it turned out Lulansi's illness was cured!

"This is truly... a tremendous piece of good news!"

Daianni was both glad for the Marquis's recovery and felt a bit lost in her heart.

With Lulansi's return, the prestige of Wushan Castle will be re-established.

But at this moment, where should Heimang City go from here?

I fear it will truly head down the path she least wishes to see.

Her mood was somewhat chaotic; although Balindun had expelled her, she had grown up there after all, and she missed it a little.

"Although that is how it is said, I believe your words can still have an effect."

She looked pitifully straight at Luoning, "Can you help me?"

Luoning looked into the other party's eyes; as a middleman, Daianni was indeed in a difficult position, but at least for now, it seemed she was considering things from the perspective of Wushan Castle and was not making any excuses for Heimang City.

And this pitiful gaze really made it hard for one to refuse.

"I will speak for you."

Luoning comforted her: "However, I believe that given Grandfather's character, he will not completely exterminate the Haide Family; Kalima and Tuomulisi should be fine."

Daianni stood up, revealed a smile, and bowed to Luoning, "Then thank you very much."

"We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."

Luoning could not help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.

He had originally thought that he would eventually have a fierce conflict with Daianni; he did not expect that after Aosen was crippled by Lulansi, the other party's temperament would take a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

Such a change was undoubtedly made with great determination; if this woman had talent not inferior to her brother Balindun, she would likely stir up a storm. (End of chapter)
