Chapter 156: On board
Standing on the deck of the 'Iceberg Crusher', Luo Sheng looked at the Dragon's Head Fort that was gradually moving away, and was slightly distracted. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the agreement between the White Tower of the Nine Rings and the Kingdom of Elson, Bunier led part of the delegation, accompanied by Marcia, and set off for the capital of the King of Elson. There, Bunier will represent the White Tower of the Nine Rings and sign a sacred covenant with the royal family of Elson. From now on, the Kingdom of Elson will become a member of the Nine-Ring White Tower system, just like the countries and city-states of the Northland Commercial Alliance.
And some of the envoys who stayed on the side of Snow Dragon Pass also began to upgrade the magic enchantment and mage tower of Snow Dragon Pass with the support of the personnel who came later.
After Baron Cook left, Barlow was killed, Baker 'disappeared', and the two interim heads of Marquis Clark and Duke Marcia also left, the largest military fortress in Elson was temporarily handed over to the White Tower of the Nine Rings under a newly signed contract. Here, the Nine-Ring White Tower will build a powerful mage tower and send a considerable number of spellcasters to guard against attacks by the Holy See of Light.
In this way, Luo Sheng, who was originally the number two person in Xuelongguan, was idle. After informing the royal capital, Luo Sheng gave up the opportunity to go to the royal capital to participate in the new king's ascension to the throne and canonization of the nobles more than a month later, and embarked on the 'Iceberg Crusher', which was preparing to return to the Island of Truth.
For Luo Sheng, instead of spending a month or two waiting for the canonization ceremony in the royal capital, intriguing with the nobles, and currying favor with the Elson royal family, it is better to use this time to rush to the Island of Truth as soon as possible, and start his own studies as soon as possible while meeting Daddy York and Fili.
Spending time in the royal capital waiting for the enthronement and canonization ceremony, although it can show respect for the Elson royal family, but limited to Luo Sheng's origin, and the quasi-son-in-law of the Cook family, a member of the Nine Rings White Tower, it is impossible for the Elson royal family to give Luo Sheng any additional rewards. And even if Luo Sheng does not attend this ceremony, with the Cook family, Marcia, and the Nine-Ring White Pagoda represented by Buniel, it is impossible for the Elson royal family to reduce the reward for Luo Sheng, and the territory, title, and development order will still fall into the hands of Luo Sheng. Therefore, going to the royal capital to see the ceremony is basically a waste of time for Luo Sheng.
And if this time is used to study on the Island of Truth, it will not only allow Luo Sheng to learn the knowledge he needs as soon as possible, but also consolidate his foundation and fully prepare for the promotion to the Silver Rank. And it can leave a good impression on the White Tower of the Nine Rings. After all, giving up participating in Raymond's enthronement ceremony and coming to the Isle of Truth to study in advance is itself a subtle political statement. This kind of statement may not be too concerned by the legendary-level boss who really values his potential, but Luo Sheng himself must express it.
As Marcia said earlier, despite all the conveniences that people with dual identities have, they are also seen as 'stepping on two boats' by the upper decision-makers, and it is difficult to gain real trust and support. Although Luo Sheng relied on his talent and potential to win the favor of some high-level leaders of the Nine Ring White Tower, it was not a simple matter to get the strong support of the Nine Ring White Tower and develop his own power. After all, Kunnier and the others were willing to accept Luo Sheng as a disciple because Luo Sheng personally had the potential to be promoted to the legendary level in the future, and they valued Luo Sheng as a person, not the independent force that Luo Sheng wanted to establish.
For the Nine-Ring White Tower, it is best for Luo Sheng to integrate into the Nine-Ring White Pagoda and become a part of it, rather than developing independently outside. Therefore, if Luo Sheng wants to persuade the Nine Rings White Tower to support his development of power, he must make a statement. Otherwise, the upper echelons of the Nine Rings White Tower would not have spent a lot of resources at all to help a nobleman of the Elson Kingdom develop his own territory. And the choice of this trip is Luo Sheng's statement between the Elson Kingdom and the White Tower of the Nine Rings.
"I'm about to go to the Island of Truth, how do you feel, Luo Sheng?" When Luo Sheng was slightly distracted, Lennon walked up to Luo Sheng and asked with a smile.
After completing the contract with the Elson Kingdom, Lennon also completely completed his mission in the Elson Kingdom, and together with Rasen, he returned to the Island of Truth in the Iceberg Breaker.
And in Elson's days, the most impressive thing for Lennon is undoubtedly the boy in front of him who is just seventeen years old. Since he had just been promoted to bronze and killed silver-tier assassins, Luo Sheng had created countless amazing achievements in the past six months, and finally killed two gold-level assassins. Although there are various means in the middle, and Lennon himself has helped a lot, but a bronze rank can do this, which is enough to make the vast majority of geniuses embarrassed.
And in addition to his super combat power, Luo Sheng's own promotion speed and vision are beyond Lunnon's imagination. In just half a year, Luo Sheng was promoted from the fifth level of the bronze rank to the tenth level of the bronze peak. If it weren't for Luo Sheng's own feeling that his foundation was insufficient and he needed to learn and accumulate, I am afraid that he would have already entered the silver level at this time and had the combat power comparable to the gold level.
In terms of vision and insight, Luo Sheng is not at all like a teenager who was born in a civilian background and has not undergone systematic education. The understanding of the situation of all parties on the continent, the strength of each profession, and even the special knowledge of alchemy, the arrangement of the magic circle, etc., are not weaker than Lennon, a gold-level mage. So even though Lunnong is confident that he can overpower Luo Sheng now, he doesn't dare to underestimate Luo Sheng, and when he interdates, he has already regarded Luo Sheng as a friend of his peers, and no longer regards Luo Sheng as a junior.
"A little bit excited and nervous. However, the thought of seeing Daddy and Fili soon, I still feel excited. Luo Sheng responded with a smile.
During these days, Luo Sheng and Lunnon got along well, especially in the late stage of the war, the two joined forces to do a lot of big things, and their friendship quickly warmed up, and now they are good friends.
"Hehe, that's true. Speaking of which, your family hasn't been reunited for more than half a year. Lunnon smiled, and then asked tentatively: "This time Luo Sheng, you got the fief and the title, are you going to take your father and sister over?"
"This is not in a hurry, my fiefdom is still just a wild land, and it has not developed at all. Moreover, Fei Li's studies have just begun, and after a few years, the territory is almost built, and Fei Li will be able to graduate from the Truth Academy, and it will not be too late to take them over. Luo Sheng responded with a smile.
At present, although Luo Sheng has barely begun to lay his own foundation, he is still far from really sheltering one side. Moreover, Luo Sheng believes that his territory will definitely not have a smooth run in the initial development process.
In order to win this territory, Luo Sheng and the barbarians, the fish people, the Bright Holy See, and even some forces in Elsen's country have formed a lot of grudges. It is impossible for these forces to sit idly by and watch Luo Sheng's territory grow and develop, even if they can't directly send a large army to crush Luo Sheng's territory, there will definitely be no shortage of conspiracy methods in the secret. Therefore, before establishing a complete defense system to ensure the safety of the people, Rason will not let Daddy York and Fili go to their own territory to take risks.
And although Rason doesn't want to admit it, Daddy York and Fili are in the Isle of Truth, which is itself a kind of existence similar to a 'proton'. With them, the Nine Rings White Tower will trust Luo Sheng more, and it will be easier to support Luo Sheng.
"That's just as well. Lunnon nodded with satisfaction, and then asked curiously: "But Luo Sheng, why did you choose the territory in the North Continent? Actually, if you want, we can directly help you get the core territory of the Benson family." ”
In addition to clearing the remnants of the Holy See of Light in the Elson Kingdom and deterring the royal family and nobles, the Nine Rings White Tower killed the Benson family, which also had a purpose, which was to artificially create a big piece of fat meat, reward the nobles who were close to the Nine Rings White Tower, and attract those centrists. After all, the wealth accumulated by the Benson family, the Nine Rings White Tower, can be taken away, but the territory belongs to the Elsen Kingdom, which cannot be taken away, and can only be distributed to the various forces in Elsen's country.
You must know that the Benson family, as the first wealthy family in the northern land of Elson, not only has an amazing area, but also most of them are extremely well-developed lands, even if a considerable part of the territory is recovered by the royal family of Elson according to the agreement, the remaining part is enough to attract a large number of nobles to stand on the side of the White Tower of the Nine Rings.
In fact, during the period of negotiations, through the distribution of these territories and the distribution of the share of maritime trade, the Nine Rings White Tower has already taken over most of the aristocratic forces of the Elson Kingdom, and has truly taken root in the Elsen Kingdom. Now, even if the Elson royal family boycotts the Nine-Ring White Tower, it will be difficult to affect the invisible control of the Nine-Ring White Tower.
At the time of the distribution of the Benson family's territory, Luo Sheng, as the original 'ally' of the Nine Rings White Tower in the Elson Kingdom, was about to join the preparatory members of the Nine Rings White Tower, and was eligible to get the biggest share of the cake. At first, Bunier and Lennon even gave Luo Sheng obvious hints, but Luo Sheng refused, and finally chose a barren land in the North Continent that didn't look very good.
"Although the Benson family's territory is good, there are too many constraints and too much trouble. Not quite for me. Luo Sheng shook his head and replied, "Although the North Continent is barren, the environment there is suitable for the druids to restore the environment, which is good for my growth." Moreover, the territory over there is positive, and after the environment is improved, the potential is actually greater than here. ”
Although the core territory of the Benson family is good, it is the focus of competition among all parties in Elson's country, and whoever gets it will be under great pressure. Moreover, although the core of the Benson family has been destroyed, the remnants of the forces have not been wiped out, and the people in the territory are still interested in the Benson family. Whoever gets that piece of land will suffer the resentment and counterattack of the remnants of the Benson family, and there will be a lot of trouble.
The Elson royal family and some big nobles are not afraid of these troubles, but Luo Sheng himself has no team and does not want to waste his energy on these chores, so he directly chose to give up.
"But I'm afraid it's not easy to develop the territory of the North Continent, right?" Lennon nodded and continued to ask.
"That's why I need to hurry to the Isle of Truth and ask for help!" Luo Sheng said with a smile.
