Chapter 304 Followers

The deputy leader of the White Whale Pirates, Callaway, was tied up and questioned carefully by Ronin and Reese.

Unfortunately, although he was the deputy leader, he did not know the confidential information.

He only knew that Mondo took the initiative to come to him. As for Mondo's identity and who was behind the assassination of Ronin, Callaway did not know.

Obviously, the deputy leader of the White Whale Pirates was just a nominal position. The key figure was still the leader of this group of pirates, but the other party generally did not take action personally.

Although no useful information about the assassination was obtained, Ronin did have a certain understanding of the pirates of the Howling Sea.

The White Whale Pirates were a relatively large group. In addition to it, there were Blood Sail and Ghost Tide, which were almost the same size. The fleets of the early kingdom and the Earl of Howling Island had also encircled and suppressed them.

It was just that the sea was so big, and the pirates could quickly obtain rich profits by robbery, so they could not be eliminated.

However, they usually only targeted merchant ships, and would leave as long as they got the property that satisfied them. It is rare to see a ship crashing into Dennis III at the cost of losing a ship right away, as happened today.

According to Kalam, the reason for choosing to ram the ship was, on the one hand, to facilitate the assassination, and on the other hand, when the royal family, Wushan Castle and other nobles investigated, they could attribute it to an accident such as a ship crash, rather than turning the spearhead to pirates.

After all, the grandson of the Wushan family may become the king's son-in-law. Once it is found that he was assassinated at sea, it will definitely lead to revenge.

If Ronin did not know magic, if his strength had not reached the gold level, it would really be possible for the other party to succeed.

The night sea breeze blew on Ronin standing at the bow, making him feel a little cold.

In this case, if he stayed overnight in the sea, he might not be able to stand hypothermia even if he was a gold knight.

"Count Ronin."

Knight Reese came over from the cabin. Although his expression still gave people a feeling of aloofness and indifference, his mood had changed fundamentally.

In the evening naval battle, Ronin saved the lives of at least half of the people on Dennis III, including Reese himself.

Although his decisiveness, courage, bravery and strength could not be said to have completely conquered Reese, he had won the latter's respect.

Reese came over and leaned on the railing of the bow, "Who do you think was responsible for this assassination?"

Roning shook his head. He knew who wanted to kill him, but he couldn't be sure who had planned this assassination in conjunction with the White Whale Pirates.

"I guess it might have something to do with the Count of Screaming Island."

Reese expressed his guess.

"Count Alfonso is a famous seventh-level magician in the kingdom, and the Fleming family calls themselves a magic family. They have the ability to make magic cannons, and they have always regarded my Dennis family as an enemy. Friction and conflict have never stopped over the years."

"Now that I see the strong rise of you and me, I realize that the situation in the Screaming Sea may change in the future. In order to protect the Fleming family's maritime interests, they have the motivation to deal with us."

One action to eliminate two threatening people from a rival family is a huge benefit.

"Your guess makes sense, but we can't accuse people based on guesses alone, not to mention that Captain Wheat Bran said that the White Whale Pirates robbed the ship of the Earl's family of Screaming Island. Even if the magic cannon is really the product of the great wizard Alfonso, the Fleming family can be said to have been robbed by the White Whale Pirates."

Ronin is going to meet His Majesty the King this time. If there is solid evidence, he can report it directly to the King and let the other party decide.

But in the current situation, it is estimated that he can only suffer a loss in silence.

Assassinating nobles is a felony, and slandering nobles is also a felony, especially when the other party is the overlord of the Screaming Sea.

And in Ronin's opinion, compared with the Fleming family, Orson and Jesus are more likely.

Not to mention, the origin of the Skull and Bones Society where the assassin Mondo who was just killed by Ronin is likely to be in the territory of the Hyde family.

Last time, with the key figure Leisen, no results were obtained. This time, it is even more difficult to drag the nobles into the water through the captured Karam and others.

Instead of wasting time on such fruitless things, it is better to promote the construction of ports and sea fleets.

If it is proved in the future that this matter is really related to the Earl of Screaming Island, then Ronin can join forces with the Dennis family to attack Screaming Island from the north and south.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, which can actually be applied to the relationship between the dukedoms, marquisdoms, and earldoms in the Kingdom of Alduin.

No matter when, strength is the foundation.

"When we arrive at Oxhorn Bay, hand these people over to the royal family for custody and trial. Then you can write a letter to your father and Wushan Castle, and they will send someone to deal with it."

Reese nodded slightly. It was okay for him to fight with others, but he was not very interested in letting him deal with such troublesome things. He looked Ronin up and down, "It's time to talk about your business, Earl."

Ronin was stunned and didn't understand.

"My business?"

"What is your current strength, silver level? Or gold level?"

Reese asked: "Also, you are still a magician, what level of magician?"

Although the number of magicians is much smaller than that of knights, they are not so rare that you have no chance to see them. At least when he was studying at the Royal Knights Academy, he had seen many magicians. Of course, most of them were junior high, middle school and advanced level, and stronger magicians were relatively rare.

Reese had witnessed the magician casting magic, and his intuition told him that the large-scale defense spell that Luo Ning used just now that could withstand arrows was definitely not the so-called third-level magic wind wall that the latter said.

But for an eighteen-year-old fourth-level magician, this sounds very ridiculous.

"Want to know?"

Luo Ning's lips curled up slightly, but instead of answering the other party's doubts, he said, "I'll tell you when you can defeat me."

Reese took a deep breath, powerlessness and frustration flashed in his eyes.

Before today, he thought it was possible to defeat Luo Ning, but after today's naval battle, after he thoroughly saw the opponent's strength, he knew that the possibility of defeating the opponent was slim.

Reese seems to have seen the style of Crown Prince Garrett in Ronin, and I am afraid that only the two of them will be able to compete in the future.

Luo Ning noticed the powerlessness and frustration in the opponent's eyes, and wondered if today's battle had too much impact on Reese, who refused to admit defeat, so he patted the opponent on the shoulder and encouraged:

"No matter what insurmountable peak you encounter, you must maintain a normal attitude and face it with a smile. Come on!"

Reese came back to his senses and raised the corners of his mouth. This time the fake smile seemed more sincere.

"You said before that you wanted me to consider following you."

Luo Ning was startled, then showed joy, "Why, are you willing to follow me?"

"With the calmness, courage and strength you showed in the naval battle just now, it is indeed worth following me."

Reese said seriously: "I will go back and discuss this matter with my father."

He is different from Rognar, the second son of Viscount Marvin. Reese is the heir to the Dennis family.

Whether he chooses to serve under Luo Ning for a period of time or really follow Luo Ning, this is not his own matter and needs to be discussed with the rest of the Dennis family.

"Hahaha!"

Luo Ning slapped the soft armor on the opponent's shoulder heavily: "You are welcome to join Wubei Territory at any time, Knight of Reese!"

What he lacks now is strong knights, high-level, bronze, and silver.

He couldn't covet a talent like Reese who has potential, high strength, and is also adaptable to naval combat. (End of chapter)
