Chapter 421: Winning Over

What is a high-quality talent?

Luoning feels that the five people currently before him are all high-quality talents.

Each of them is not only powerful but also possesses different areas of expertise; some can build ships, some can navigate the seas, and others are skilled in intelligence work.

Even Suofeiya, who did not introduce herself much, as the leader of the group and being addressed as "Your Highness," must surely have her own extraordinary qualities.

Now that this group has come to the Aoerlante Continent seeking support and cooperation, is there a possibility of making the Wubei Territory and Luoning the targets of their cooperation?

Just imagine such a formidable five-person squad joining the Wubei Territory; for Luoning, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

It is just that Suofeiya's objective is very clear: they are not here to see the Count of the Wubei Territory, but the King of the Auduin Kingdom, and they are waiting for Luoning only to have someone familiar provide an introduction.

"You have come at just the right time!"

Luoning smiles slightly and says, "In a little over ten days, the Auduin Kingdom will hold its decennial founding celebration. I will be going there as well, so if you wish to go to Golden Feather City, you can come with me. Of course, I will also introduce you to meet His Majesty Bruno."

He spreads his hands, looking a bit embarrassed, "To tell you the truth, my future wife is His Majesty's youngest daughter, Princess Blanche, but this matter has not been disclosed yet, so I ask you all to keep it confidential."

Suofeiya and the others are stunned; they did not expect that the lord they happened to meet at the port where they unexpectedly docked would have such a powerful background.

It seems that waiting for such Along time was worth it.

"Then thank you very much, Count Luoning!"

"It is just a matter of convenience, you don't need to be so polite," Luoning says with a smile, "You just mentioned wanting to cooperate with the King; I wonder how you plan to cooperate?"

This question causes the smile on Suofeiya's face to slowly fade, replaced by a look of contemplation.

She is considering whether or not to disclose the matter of the cooperation to Luoning.

After all, their ultimate goal is to find reinforcements from the Star Continent, and the more the better, so this goal does not need to be hidden.

It is just that the situation is different now; the Star Continent has no Legendary Mage.

Under these circumstances, even if they find reinforcements from the Star Continent, they will be unable to return to the Xinyue Continent.

If they cannot return, then everything is in vain.

Therefore, what Suofeiya is thinking about now is what they can cooperate on with the Auduin Kingdom.

"As you said, Mofisite is currently hiding within the borders of the Auduin Kingdom; we can assist the King in eliminating the minions of Salonas."

She pauses for a moment and adds, "It is not limited to Mofisite; we can also provide intelligence support and combat assistance against the minions of the other two lords."

"Then instead of cooperating with the King, you might as well cooperate with me."

"You?"

Suofeiya frowns, looking Luoning up and down, her heart already harboring vigilance.

Aini Lu, at her side, speaks out what Suofeiya finds inconvenient to say: "Lord Count, the force we wish to cooperate with is naturally the strongest one. Is your territory perhaps stronger than the Auduin Kingdom?"

Luoning smiles slightly, "The royal family has no Legendary Mage."

Suofeiya's eyes light up: "Do you mean to say that the Wubei Territory does?"

Luoning shakes his head, looking at Aini Lu and the others, "Suofeiya, if it is convenient, I would like to speak with you alone next."

Suofeiya hesitates for a moment.

Aini Lu quickly objects: "Your Highness, this is not appropriate."

The others express roughly the same sentiment; clearly, they do not trust Luoning enough yet.

Suofeiya only hesitates briefly before smiling: "You all go out; I believe it is very safe here."

Seeing this, the four of them, including Aini Lu, do not say another word and exit the room directly.

From this, it can be seen that Suofeiya possesses absolute leadership; once she makes a decision, others do not question it.

"Aierlong, you go out as well."

"Very well, my Lord!"

Aierlong bows and exits.

"This subordinate of yours seems to be a powerful Magician."

"Yes, he is a Light-attribute Level 8 Magus. My grandfather recovered precisely because of Aierlong's 'Evil Purification' magic."

Suofeiya is somewhat surprised.

The intelligence Hameng collected from Muma City indicated that Meteor Knights and those at the level of Great Archmage or above are rare; how can a Count's territory have a Level 8 Magus, and one who is a follower of this young man before her?

"Light-attribute magic indeed restrains the power of the witch soul."

Although Suofeiya is somewhat puzzled, she does not feel too much shock, as she herself is a Magus.

"If there were a Legendary-level Light-attribute Mage, we might be able to cross the Storm Sea more easily and avoid the erosion of the evil miasma."

"If there were a Sage-level Light Mage, perhaps they could completely resolve the pollution of the Storm Sea for us."

Oh?

Luoning quietly records this information and smiles: "Then Aierlong will have to work hard."

Suofeiya brings the topic back: "So, does the Wubei Territory have a Legendary Mage?"

"Of course not!" Luoning shakes his head.

"Then I am very curious, what do you want to talk to me about alone?"

"You just introduced the situation on the Xinyue Continent; the human race and the servants of the Demon Gods have been at war for many years. Now you have begun to be in a clearly disadvantaged position, needing not only top-tier powerhouses but also more mid-to-low-level personnel. Simply put, there are not enough humans."

Suofeiya nods, signaling for Luoning to continue.

"And here on the Orland Continent, which you call the Star Continent, it is split into two kingdoms with constant disputes. If our people go to the New Moon Continent, the Kingdom of Terisia will surely take advantage of the situation to attack."

He pauses and continues: "According to intelligence I recently obtained, the Kingdom of Terisia is in chaos because of an organization called the 'Holy Storm.' This mysterious organization that suddenly appeared is very likely the minions of the other two lords you mentioned."

Suofeiya understands a little.

"So you want us to help you wage war against the Kingdom of Terisia, which would not only eliminate the minions of the Storm Lord and the Flame Lord but also help you gain military merit and even expand your territory?"

She knows deeply how attractive her squad is on a continent with scarce combat power.

It is very logical for Luoning to want them to cooperate with him.

"It's just that cooperating with you is not as good as cooperating with the Auduin Kingdom; at least they are stronger."

Luoning shook his head, "However, they cannot give you what you want; the royal family has no Legendary Mage."

"But you don't have one either, do you?" Suofeiya was very curious about what this young Count actually wanted to say.

Luoning no longer held back, and the Mental Power on his body was fully released.

Also being a Magus, Suofeiya felt Luoning's immense Mental Power in an instant.

"You are a Magus?"

She was very surprised; according to intelligence, she knew that the young Count before her had just passed his nineteenth birthday.

Nineteen years old, a Level 8 Magus?

This talent, even if placed in the City of Dawn, would be the top of the top.

"And that's not all."

Luoning smiled and stood up, stepping into the air with one foot; through his control of Battle Qi, he walked through the air in the living room.

"Silver Moon rank!"

For the first time, Suofeiya showed a shocked expression, "You are not only a Magus, but also a Silver Moon Knight!"

Although dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is rare, there are still some.

To say nothing else, her Guard Officer Aini Lu is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts.

But even though Aini Lu's talent is very excellent, at thirty-one years old, she is only a Meteor Knight and a Chief Mage.

Luoning has far surpassed Aini Lu at nineteen.

Luoning smiled and said, "Although the Wubei Territory does not yet have a Legendary Mage, I have absolute certainty that I can become a Legendary Mage within ten years at the latest."

He looked Suofeiya straight in the eyes: "If you can help me, this time will be even shorter!" (End of chapter)
