Chapter 474: Choices

After hearing this, Jialete sensed a very dangerous aura.

He vigilantly looked Feilunsi up and down and sneered, "My dear uncle, is your head filled with pig manure? How dare you suggest I commit patricide?"

Jialete understood Bruno's character quite well; even though his father, the King, would likely only ever be a Silver Knight in this lifetime, he had his own persistence in politics.

As mentioned before, once Bruno made a decision, almost no one could persuade him to change it.

Now, Bruno had chosen to trust Wushan Territory, choosing to use honor, power, and status to restrain Luoning; unless the latter truly showed signs of betrayal, he would not risk mutual destruction to deal with Luoning.

As long as this situation was maintained, and as long as the rule of Auduin was maintained, the rest was just a matter of time.

Although Luoning was powerful, his lifespan was ultimately limited.

After all, in history, even someone as strong as Orland the Great eventually disappeared into the long river of history, didn't he?

The Royal Family could at most use three generations of time to outlive a Blazing Sun Knight or even a Legendary one.

Therefore, in Jialete's view, the path Feilunsi provided had only one method—regicide, followed by taking the throne himself.

Although Jialete was conceited, arrogant, and even somewhat extreme in personality, he still highly valued the honor and face of the Auduin Royal Family.

If he were to kill his own biological father just to inherit the throne, it would be equivalent to smearing the Royal Family.

He could even imagine that once he did this, it was very likely that after successfully killing Luoning, Feilunsi and his ilk would use the excuse of regicide and patricide to claim he was unfit to inherit the throne, and then unite to attack him.

Facing Jialete's foul language, Feilunsi was not angry; instead, he waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I never said you should do such a thing."

He explained, "Replacing your father in commanding the Kingdom's nobles does not necessarily require killing him. In history, it is not uncommon for a King to be unable to handle state affairs due to illness or other matters, thereby handing over government affairs to the Crown Prince or the King's hand."

Jialete said in a cold voice, "In the end, isn't that still making me bear the infamy of framing my father?"

"As long as you are willing, I can do this for you," Feilunsi said.

"This is betrayal!"

"No, this is for Auduin, so that we are not threatened by Wushan Territory!"

Feilunsi suddenly said loudly, "Lulansi is vengeful, and Luoning is insidious. They will absolutely pay back what we did to the Wushan Family ten or a hundred times over! When that time comes, Auduin, and I, an Auduin who has changed his surname to Greg, will all be unable to escape the fate of being annihilated by them!"

"Yet your father has chosen to trust such people. By doing this, he will only ruin the foundation of Auduin that has stood for hundreds of years and bring us a devastating disaster!"

He looked at Jialete earnestly, his expression incomparably sincere: "For the sake of Auduin, I am willing to bear this infamy for you!"

Jialete threatened in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell these words to my father and have him unite with Luoning to flatten your Feilunsi Gong Guo first?"

"He won't!"

Feilunsi raised his hand and patted Jialete on the shoulder. "I know you; you value your own honor and the rise and fall of the Kingdom above all else. Besides, even if you told my brother about this, I would still say the same thing."

"For the sake of Auduin, I will not regret it!"

Jialete fell into Along contemplation.

After a while, he brushed off Feilunsi's arm. "I will not agree to such a method. If you dare to use underhanded means against my father, I will absolutely not let you off!"

"As for Luoning, I will also become a Blazing Sun Knight before long. The Wushan Family is not as terrifying as you say!"

He turned around and issued an order to leave: "You go. I will pretend you never came here today."

Feilunsi stared for Along while, then sighed dejectedly.

"As you wish. Anyway, I have already said and done what I should. If one day you and your father follow in the footsteps of Hesusu, don't regret it, and don't blame me for not warning you."

He turned around, his back to Jialete. "However, if you think it through, you can come find me at any time. Of course, it must be before Luoning becomes a Legendary."

After saying this, Feilunsi strode away without looking back.

No matter what Jialete thought, at least this seed had been planted in his heart.

Whether it would sprout or not could only be left to fate.

Jialete looked at Feilunsi's back. He stood on the spot for a full half-hour, finally shook his head, and left the Training Ground.

"No matter what, I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!"

"Relying on my own strength, I can also find a way to check and balance Wushan Territory."

On the other side, after Luoning sent off Valjisi Duchy, he also began his return plan.

First was the matter of the Griffin.

The Griffin nest built in Shanlin Town was basically completed; although it was a bit crude, it was already enough for them to inhabit.

Therefore, Luoning contacted Buluoer and Mixi, telling them to prepare to transport the Griffins to Shanlin Town.

As for the hundreds of professional personnel involved in Griffin breeding and care, Luoning had Kaierluosi return to Wubei Territory. While picking up Aierlong, he also notified Lisi to have him sail a ship from Wubei Port to Niujiao Bay to pick up these hundreds of people and take them to Shanlin Town.

Two days later, Valjisi Duchy's manor.

"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Aierlong to look so young, yet he is already a Magic Master!"

Valjisi warmly welcomed the arrival of Luoning and Aierlong; he did not expect Luoning to have Aierlong come over in such a short time.

"May the Light protect everyone!"

Aierlong greeted politely, "Lord Luoning has already told me about the Jisitana Family. I hope that during this trip west, I can be of help to you."

This voice made Valjisi feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze; he even wondered if Magic Masters of the Light attribute were born with the ability to make people feel relaxed?

"Valjisi Duchy is thousands of miles away from Wangdu. Although we are returning by Griffin, it will still take two or three days. I will have to trouble you, Master Magic Master, for this journey!"

Luoning could see that Valjisi was very respectful toward Aierlong, on whom high hopes were pinned.

He smiled and said, "Since that is the case, I will head back first. Aierlong, do your best to help the Duke investigate the cause, and if there is any abnormality, do your best to resolve it."

Aierlong bowed slightly, "Rest assured, my Lord, I will give it my all!"

On the way here, Luoning had already given instructions to Aierlong.

If he truly solved the trouble for the Jisitana Family this time, there was no need to be polite about requesting cooperation, allowing Wubei Territory to have a breeding base in Jisitana Duchy specifically for cultivating Flame Grass.

This base would have technical support provided by Aierlong, while Jisitana Duchy would provide the personnel.

After the cultivation was successful, the Flame Grass in the base would be handed directly to Wubei Territory, rather than being sold to the Royal Family.

As for the split, Luoning was not stingy; an eight-two or seven-three split would both be fine. He believed Valjisi Duchy would not be too stingy.

Of course, if this trip yields no results, Aierlong will also resolve the health issues caused by illnesses for the son and grandson of the Duke of Valjisi, doing his best to help them recover their health.

Likewise, Aierlong will also take the opportunity to propose a request for cooperation on behalf of Luoning, only the difference is that he will concede a bit more profit. (End of chapter)
