Chapter 427: Bruno's Worries

In Auduin Hall, Lulansi and Bruno talked for Along time before leaving.

Their main discussion concerned the mining of the large iron ore deposit, as well as the marriage alliance between Luoning and Blanche.

"Father, how did your talk go?" Jialete walked into the hall.

Bruno nodded, "It was fine; there are no issues with the cooperation between Auduin and the Wushan Family."

"Although Lulansi's personality has become much more restrained and is not as sharp as it once was, I could still feel his anger when he mentioned the Vila Principality."

Jialete was not very interested in what had happened in the past; he only cared about the present.

"I just sparred with Luoning."

"Oh?" Bruno looked curious, "I didn't expect you to act so quickly. How did it go?"

"Although he was suppressed and at a disadvantage during the spar just now, and eventually conceded defeat voluntarily,"

Jialete said with certainty, "I can be sure that he is definitely a Silver Moon Knight!"

Bruno nodded with a heavy heart; a nineteen-year-old Silver Moon Knight—such talent gave him a headache.

"Father, there is no need to worry too much."

Jialete did not find Luoning as troublesome as Bruno did, "I can defeat him now, and I will certainly be able to suppress him in the future!"

"I do not doubt your strength, it is just that Luoning's cultivation speed is too fast."

"Then let's talk to him about the Enhancement Potion. Whether we produce it together or purchase it, we need him to provide a certain amount of Magic Potion every year."

Jialete said, "With it, I believe my strength will also improve faster."

Bruno pondered and nodded slightly. Thinking of his previous promise to Luoning, he said:

"I previously promised Luoning that I would give him a few Griffins after he and Blanche became engaged. Now that the Wubei Territory also has such valuable items, we can consider using the number of Griffins to negotiate with him."

"Hmm, it would be best to obtain the rights to sell the Enhancement Potion externally," Jialete added.

If such a rare item could be monopolized by the royal family, it would undoubtedly increase the cohesion of the royal family.

However, since the Magic Potion is produced in the Wubei Territory, the possibility of monopolizing the external sales rights is relatively low.

Bruno rubbed his brow.

"I can finally understand now why Father acquiesced, and even secretly helped, when they framed Lulansi and Geleimusi back then."

Before the royal family had a Blazing Sun Knight, the emergence of a Blazing Sun Knight among other high-ranking nobles was indeed a major hidden danger.

"Fortunately, the Wubei Territory is currently being attacked from all sides and is having a hard time."

Bruno thought for a moment and said, "Jialete, have someone tell Meier about your spar with Luoning today and let him leak it to the outside, especially to the Vila Family, Fleming, and your uncle Hesusu."

He did not want the Wubei Territory to be too weak, nor did he want it to be too strong; having the nobles below consume each other was the best situation for them.

The corners of Jialete's mouth curled up, "Actually, before I came, I had already sent Geman to find Meier."

Bruno was stunned, then laughed, "As expected of my child!"

Luoning could not stop these overt schemes; all he could do was increase the influence of the Wubei Territory and strengthen his own power and forces.

When one's fist is hard enough, all conspiracies and overt schemes can be easily resolved.

The day before the founding celebration, all the nobles arrived at Golden Feather City.

Last year, at her birthday banquet, Blanche strongly recommended the silk from the Wubei Territory, which allowed Luoning to get his first significant order; the delivery date agreed upon at that time was mid-June.

Therefore, Luoning entrusted Blanche to send invitations to these noblewomen, asking them to come to the Moon Shadow Palace to pick up their goods the day before the founding celebration.

At this moment, in the large hall of the Moon Shadow Palace, rows of wooden racks held up the silk dresses Luoning had brought, making the place look like a large dress shop.

Although each dress was marked with the owner's name, the noblewomen looked them over like they were browsing a market before picking up their goods.

Faced with these silk dresses that were soft, smooth, had an excellent texture, and were brightly colored and lustrous, they had no resistance; they wanted every single one, but unfortunately, the quantity was limited.

Actually, it was fine for the noblewomen who had already placed orders; at the very least, they had all bought one.

But it was quite cruel for those noblewomen who had just come to join in the fun; they could only watch as the dresses they admired flashed before their eyes without being able to own them, and the regret in their hearts was beyond words.

Some noblewomen had eyes sparkling with desire, asking the maids beside them about the details of the dresses from time to time; others stood silently on the side, gently stroking the rows of dresses with their hands as if to imprint the texture in their minds; and others ran directly to the side hall to find Luoning.

At this moment, Luoning was already surrounded by quite a few noblewomen.

"Mr. Luoning, these silk dresses of yours are truly amazing. Wearing one makes me feel like I've become ten years younger!"

"Yes, yes, the weather is getting hotter now, and it brings me such a cool and refreshing feeling; it's simply wonderful. Silk dresses are truly a must-have for summer banquets!"

These were the ones who had bought them, while those who hadn't were shouting: "Mr. Luoning, I wonder if the Wubei Territory still has such dresses? I also want to buy one... no, I want to buy a few sets, the price is not an issue!"

Surrounded by these enthusiastic noblewomen, Luoning smelled all kinds of perfumes, and the feeling was not very pleasant. But thinking of the big order to come, Luoning was still willing to endure it.

In fact, in his view, the quality of this batch of dresses was not very good.

After all, the sericulture base in Ziguo Village had only just been established, and the dress workshop led by the tailor Lia had only just taken shape. Although they were all skilled at making clothes, their craftsmanship was not uniform, and coupled with the fact that these were noble dresses they were not very familiar with, there were inevitably some flaws in the finished products.

However, in the face of the "rare" attribute, these flaws could be ignored.

For things that had never appeared before, the sooner one possessed them, the more it could satisfy the vanity of these idle noblewomen.

"Everyone, please rest assured, the production of the Wubei Territory will double this year. By this time next year, everyone will be able to wear silk dresses! And I can guarantee that the styles of the dresses then will be more numerous and even more exquisite than they are now!"

This was not a lie.

Under Huoen's management, the mulberry fields in Ziguo Village had already expanded several times over, and the reserved amount of silkworm eggs was also much higher than last year; the amount of silk produced this year would definitely be several times that of last year.

At the same time, after a year of honing, and with the guidance of master craftsmen found with Daianni's help, the craftsmanship of the textile workshop had improved significantly, and next year's goods would definitely be more exquisite.

Hearing Luoning's introduction, the noblewomen could not wait any longer and were clamoring to order a few sets on the spot.

It was a pity that Luoning did not want to take the initiative to deliver the goods again, because his Space Ring might not be able to hold that many. And he also hoped that more caravans would come to the Wubei Territory.

So he used the excuse of picking them out on-site and taking a trip to persuade these noblewomen to go to the Wubei Territory in person to choose the styles they wanted.

Although the journey was long, one should not underestimate the desire for beauty in these noblewomen's hearts; several of them agreed immediately.

After the bustle, the noblewomen left the Moon Shadow Palace one after another.

Blanche changed into a blue silk long dress, held the hem of the skirt, and spun around in front of Luoning: "Does it look good?"

Luoning smiled slightly and praised, "It looks good; you look good in anything!"

Blanche smiled somewhat shyly, but suddenly grew a bit nervous: "Tomorrow, Father King will announce the marriage alliance between you and me. Are you nervous?"

Luoning pulled the beauty into his embrace and said softly, "I am not nervous, but I am incredibly expectant!" (End of chapter)
