Chapter 467: The Miserable Duke Valjisi

~7 min read 1,395 words

The dragon flew at high speed, crossing the Screaming Sea and landing within the manor of Wushan Castle in the suburbs of Jinyu City.

Although the residence Lulansi purchased was far less luxurious than the Fleming family's, it fortunately had a large area, including a big lawn for the dragon to land on.

After the two arrived, Lulansi first had someone send a visiting card to the Jinyu Palace, requesting a meeting for tomorrow. Luoning took the opportunity to have the messenger bring a message to Princess Blanche, asking to get together sometime tomorrow.

Subsequently, Lady Carolina, who was stationed in Jinyu City, reported to the two in detail about the recent public opinion in Jinyu City regarding Wushan Castle.

Just as they had learned before, Jinyu City was still full of praise for this operation by Wushan Territory, which not only averted a crisis but also saved many innocent people.

As for the praise for Luoning personally, it had risen to the most lively level in history.

From Jinyu City to Ox Horn City, almost every tavern and inn, large or small, was spreading legends of Luoning, almost beautifying him into a favorite of the Seven Gods.

And next, this young powerhouse was about to marry Princess Blanche, which was another topic of conversation.

Throughout the process, the royal family was not questioned by the outside world at all because of Hesusu; on the contrary, with His Majesty the King having a Sun-level son-in-law, everyone believed that the Auduin Kingdom would surely head toward glory in the future.

"However, I heard that after Duke Valjisi arrived at the Jinyu Palace, he questioned whether the actions of Wushan Territory were too arbitrary and rash, and at the same time, he seemed displeased that you took action without notifying him."

Lulansi nodded: "This is normal, after all, it involved his daughter as well as his grandson and granddaughter."

Duke Valjisi's daughter, Dana, married Hesusu and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Among them, his granddaughter Sally had previously clashed with Luoning in the Jinyu Palace, which only ended after Bruno mediated.

And in this war, they all died.

However, unlike those Witch Soul Knights who turned into dust, the family of Hesusu, because they did not go to the battlefield, had their bodies preserved after Mofisite was killed.

Luoning frowned slightly: "Will Duke Valjisi hold a grudge against us because of this and worsen the diplomatic environment of Wushan Territory?"

Most of the Flame Grass needed to produce the Auxiliary Enhancement Potion was produced in the desert regions of the Gistana Duchy, which was under the control of Duke Valjisi.

But fortunately, he was trading with the royal family, and Bruno transferred it to Swamp Town.

Therefore, even if the relationship worsened, the impact on the production of the Enhancement Potion should not be significant.

"Probably not."

Lulansi pondered slightly and said: "Duke Valjisi is not an ambitious person, especially after his eldest son, third son, eldest grandson, and second grandson all died, he has shown even more that he does not want to fight with the outside world for anything."

"Now that his daughter, grandson, and granddaughter have all died, he must be very sad psychologically, and it is understandable that he would question this matter."

Well, listening to the old man's experiences, Luoning felt that the other party was somewhat pitiful.

Fortunately, the other party still had a third son similar to Weijinsi, as well as a young grandson, so his line would not be cut off.

Speaking of this, Lulansi stood up: "Since that is the case, I will go visit Duke Valjisi. I think he and I should have some topics to talk about."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Luoning stood up and asked.

Lulansi shook his head: "Two old men chatting, you don't need to get involved."

Luoning spread his hands, "Alright, as you wish."

Since there was nothing to do, Luoning went out alone for a stroll.

He didn't know until he walked around, but he was shocked; the comments about him outside were truly serious, and some people even vividly described the might and dominance of Kaierluosi, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

However, it could also be seen from this that Partridge's encounter on Jiliu Island must have spread, and the matter of the dragon might have leaked out from Screaming Island.

After wandering around, Luoning went to Griffin Town. He originally just wanted to check on the griffins selected last time, but he didn't expect Mixi to be there too.

As the Knight responsible for the training of these twenty griffins for the next two years, Mixi introduced the current preparations here to Luoning in detail.

"Now the twenty griffins and the escort team are all equipped, and professional breeders are also ready. It just depends on when it is convenient for you, and I can lead the team to send these griffins and people to your territory."

Mixi looked at Luoning, and in a trance, she remembered the other party's appearance at the Wushan Castle anniversary two years ago.

At that time, Luoning was not tall, and his strength was not strong, but he did not show any signs of timidity when facing the griffin, which made her feel at the time that Luoning might not be as bad as the rumors said.

Facts proved that this was indeed the case.

"Luoning, are you really a Blazing Sun Knight now?"

Luoning nodded slightly; since it had spread like that outside, there was no need for him to hide it.

"That is truly amazing!"

Mixi exclaimed, but then smiled: "You probably haven't seen Her Highness the Princess yet, right? She was so happy when she heard this news!"

Which woman does not hope that the person she marries is outstanding enough?

Princess Blanche was the same.

"I can feel her joy."

Luoning said with a smile: "You might not know yet, but Kalada is already a Golden Knight."

The topic was suddenly shifted, and it even shifted to Kalada. Mixi clearly did not react in time, and her usually cold face had some unnaturalness, and even turned slightly red.

Luoning continued: "After this batch of griffins is transported to Wubei Territory, one of them is for Kalada. I don't know if you will go to Jiliu Island yourself to teach him how to ride, or let him come to Wubei Territory?"

Knight Mixi glared at him, let out a soft hum, and actually turned and left.

"Count Luoning, now that you have learned what you wanted to know, please go back. Let someone notify me when you have confirmed the time."

"Haha, alright!"

Luoning stopped joking, turned around, and rode away from Griffin Town.

Listening to the sound of the receding horse hooves, Mixi couldn't help but turn her head.

She was actually looking forward to life in Wubei Territory; perhaps it would be more relaxed there.

However, recently, her father hadn't mentioned the matter of her arranged marriage much.

She could feel that her father's attitude toward Kalada was changing.

It wasn't that Lude had suddenly found his conscience and stopped interfering with his daughter's marriage, but that he felt Kalada would have a very good future.

Therefore, he was willing to wait.

As for the reason for this change in mentality...

Mixi looked at Luoning's back; she knew in her heart that all these changes were because of him.

Although Kalada was still not a noble, he followed a Blazing Sun Knight and was highly valued, managing Jiliu Island for Luoning.

Barring any accidents, once Luoning thoroughly rises in the future, Kalada will certainly obtain a decent status and position.

As the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, her father values current interests as well as long-term interests.

Clearly, Kalada possesses long-term interests now.

Although it sounds very snobbish, the children of most noble families are like this; while there are those like Mixi and Kalada who can end up together, they belong to the minority.

"It is time to work hard and become a Silver Knight as soon as possible; I cannot let Kalada get too far ahead."

Mixi withdrew her gaze.

Being strong-willed and independent is her nature, and she will not slack off just because her life path has become smooth. (End of chapter)
