Chapter 242 Considerations

If Lu Lans asked Roning to escort this batch of materials and go to Chishan Town on behalf of the Wushan family, then Roning would go without hesitation.

But this matter was proposed by Wiggins.

To be honest, Roning only had a polite attitude towards this father, and there was no deep family affection between them.

They usually lived their own lives, and it was enough to maintain basic courtesy when they met.

If he was asked to do something more troublesome, Roning still needed to think about it carefully.

The development affairs of Wubei Territory had been planned two months ago, and the implementation of the affairs was left to the officials led by Wilson, and he didn't need to worry too much.

If it was Wubei Territory, only the soaked papermaking materials had not been processed.

If he went there and delayed for too long, he didn't know whether these materials would be damaged.

On the other hand, Wiggins saw that Roning did not refuse directly, so he thought that the latter was considering it, and he quickly followed up to persuade:

"Although you have never been to Chishan Town, there will be a knight team leading you, so you don't have to worry about such trivial matters."

"When I was as young as you, although I was not as strong as you, I had already been running around and gained knowledge. Now that you are already a high-level peak knight, you should go out and walk around."

He said: "You can gain a lot of knowledge by seeing more, which will also help you govern Wubei Territory."

It can't be seen that Wiggins can still say such a set of big truths, but he has been wandering around for so many years, and he hasn't gained much knowledge.

Roning smiled, neither agreed nor refused, but asked: "I don't know what identity my father has asked me to do this?"

Wiggins didn't hear what Roning meant, "What do you mean?"

Breton blinked and looked at his brother. He thought his brother would agree directly.

Diane stopped the fork in her hand and looked at the father and son. She heard that Roning didn't want to go, at least not casually.

Lu Lan Si raised his eyebrows and took a sip of wine.

"If you are asking me to go there as a father, I have to think about it carefully. After all, it takes a lot of time to go to Chishan Town, and there are many affairs waiting for me to deal with in Wubei Territory. I may not be able to get away."

"However, if you are the first heir of Wubei Territory, I think I need to discuss it with my grandfather first."

Wiggins thought that Roning wanted to say something, but it turned out to be these two questions.

"Do you need to trouble your grandfather for such a small matter?"

Wiggins shook his head, "As for the waste of time you mentioned, it is much closer from Wushan Fort to Chishan Town than to your Shanlin Town. Even if you bring supplies, the round trip plus the time you stay there is enough for one month."

In recent years, Lu Lan Si has handed over many affairs to Wiggins, and he will not ask about some small matters at all.

Wiggins thought that asking Roning to help was a small matter, so he did not ask Lu Lan Si's opinion.

"One month will not delay you much." He added.

In fact, what Ronin meant by his second sentence was that the Viscount of Wubei was loyal to Rulans, not Wiggins, who had not yet inherited the title of Marquis, and he had to listen to the arrangements of the Marquis himself.

But the Earl of Wushan City did not hear this meaning at all.

Just as Ronin was thinking about how to respond, Rulans coughed and attracted everyone's attention.

"Tomorrow is Ronin's birthday."

"I know, father."

Wiggins came back to his senses, "It will take a few days to prepare the materials. I didn't ask him to leave tomorrow."

Rulans did not respond to this sentence, but looked at Bretton.

"Breton prepared a dagger made by himself for Roning, and Diane prepared lunch and dinner for Roning in the past two days. I wonder what birthday gift you prepared as a father?"

"This..."

Wiggins scratched his head awkwardly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I was too busy these two days and I forgot. But don't worry, Roning, you will get a gift!"

Lulans stood up and said lightly: "Fathers and sons should also keep in touch. You can't always ask your son to do something as a father, especially on days like tomorrow, you should prepare things in advance."

"Roning is not only your son, but also the lord of Wubei Territory, and he is also a nobleman. The nobles pay attention to the exchange of interests. If you ask him for help, you can't prepare some generous gifts."

While speaking, Most had already pulled out his chair.

"Okay, I'll leave after I'm full. Diane, thank you for the dinner you prepared. It's very good."

Diane stood up and said with a smile: "As long as you like it."

Wiggins curled his lips, "Okay, father, I know."

He turned his head and looked at Ronin: "Tell me, what gift do you want? But we have to make it clear in advance. I don't have much money on me to give you."

This is really direct, and he didn't treat Ronin as an outsider at all.

"Talking about money hurts feelings."

Ronin smiled and said: "But I haven't thought about it yet. I'll give you an answer when I think about it."

"Okay, as long as you think about it, I can do it for you at any time."

Ronin didn't think about it just about what gift to ask for. He hasn't decided whether to go or not.

He currently knows only two things about Chishan Town.

The first is that the Fifth Knights of Wushanling are stationed there, and the leader is Corian Hansen;

The second is that there is an iron mine in Chishan Town...

Ronin's mind moved. If he could occupy a certain share of this iron mine, Wubei Territory would not have to go out to buy ore.

With a stable source of iron ore, various farm tools can be quickly made through blast furnace ironmaking, greatly advancing Wubei Territory's agricultural progress.

Not only that, Wubei Territory's knights and war horses can also get stronger defense.

Unfortunately, although Wiggins agreed to send gifts, if Ronin wanted to ask for a share of the Chishan Town iron mine from the other party, it would probably not be obtained.

"What do you want?"

Ronin left the restaurant with such doubts.

"Brother, do you want to have a bedtime sparring tonight?" Bretton followed him.

"Of course!"

Ronin came to his senses and immediately followed Bretton to the square behind to do after-meal exercise.

Wiggins couldn't help complaining after Ronin left.

"This kid, he is so strong that he doesn't know how to be polite when talking to me."

Thinking back to the past, he scolded and beat Ronin whenever he wanted, but now he doesn't dare to do that.

On the one hand, he lost a leg and became weaker;

On the other hand, Roning showed extraordinary strength at the beginning of the year, and even Leisen was defeated by him, which made Wiggins dare not treat him as before.

"Breton said that he felt that Roning had become a bronze knight."

"What?"

Wiggins was so shocked that the juice in his mouth almost spurted out, "This is an illusion, an 18-year-old bronze knight? He is better than my brother?"

Diane watched the servants clear all the plates on the table. She leaned back in her chair and sighed slightly.

Perhaps, Roning is really better than Grahams, the former genius of Wushanling.

"You should think about what gift to prepare for Roning tomorrow."

She smiled and said, "Otherwise, I don't think Roning is willing to make a trip for you."

"Humph, if he doesn't want to go, then don't go. Can't I find someone?"

Having said that, Wiggins still got up and went to the study, looking for something rare and valuable for Roning. (End of this chapter)
