Chapter 318 Generous Gift
Although everyone was reluctant to His Majesty the King's invitation, except for the injured Cross, several others bravely participated.
However, they exited quickly.

Not long after, only Bruno, Blanche and Luo Ning were left in the huge restaurant.
Bruno took the towel handed over by the servant and wiped his mouth gracefully: "I thought you would continue to ask for compensation from them after I punished them."
Luo Ning smiled and said: "Your Majesty has already arranged it for me, so naturally I won't ask them for it anymore."
"Oh? So you are already convinced that you can win the tournament?"
"I will do my best, Your Majesty!"
After Bruno's handling of this matter was spread today, the rumors about Luo Ning were labeled as not being trusted.
When Luo Ning defeats the outstanding people of Jinyu City in the martial arts tournament, his current reputation will completely cover up his past misdeeds.
Blanche encouraged from the side: "Luo Ning, I hope you can win the championship and then give me the garland."
After the knight wins the championship, he will give a wreath to a woman present. This is not only a way to celebrate the victory, but also a way to express respect or love for the woman.
Of course, accepting the wreath means accepting the other person's respect or admiration. It can also symbolize her charm, but it does not mean that she will become a lover or even get married to the knight.
This is just a custom. Many ladies from noble families have received garlands, but Blanche has not. She felt so regretful that she chose not to watch many tournaments.
"I will do it, Your Highness Princess!" Luo Ning promised.
"Don't underestimate Jin Yucheng's genius, you will meet your opponent."
Bruno chuckled, but changed the topic: "However, if you can win the championship, I will give you another gift."
Luo Ning was curious: "What gift?"
If His Majesty the King wants to give a gift, it must not be something simple.
Bruno clapped his hands and saw an accompanying official come in respectfully, handed a scroll and then left.
Luo Ning hurriedly walked over and helped open the two-meter-long and one-meter-wide scroll. The above is not a painting, but a relatively complete map of the Orlant continent.
It not only marks the territories of nobles of all sizes in the kingdom, but also the islands on the sea and the whirlpool marks far away from the coast.
"There is an isolated island in the north-west direction of the Screaming Sea, close to the Amethyst Earldom."
Bruno pointed to the location of the island, "Waiheke Island."
Luo Ning looked over.
Although this island is close to the Amethyst Earldom, it is already connected to the center line of the northern edge of the Jianxiao Sea. It is said to be close to the Amethyst Earldom, but in fact it is not far from Wubei Territory.
"This island is not large, about the size of a little more than a viscounty. It has always been a place where criminals are imprisoned. The Kingdom of Alduin has been established for so long, and there are probably many criminals on it and their descendants. Tens of thousands of people, and they have established several forces on it.β
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. This place sounded chaotic enough.
Just listen to Bruno continue to say: "I heard from the people responsible for guarding there that several forces above are trying to make moves recently, and they are likely to be out of control. If you win the championship of this martial arts tournament, I will arrange for you to conquer these forces. forces, and will allow you to clear out the base of the White Whale Pirates along the way."
Luo Ning knew that the kingdom would handle the matter of the White Whale Pirates attacking nobles, but he did not expect that he would take the lead.
However, Luo Ning was still more curious about Waiheke Island.
"Your Majesty, is there anything special about this island?"
Bruno smiled and said: "There are some fruit specialties on it, and a batch is shipped to the Golden Feather Palace every year. In addition, Waiheke Island is rich in wood resources. Whether it is making furniture or building ships, it is very good."
"Although the resources are limited and there is nothing special about it, it is the kingdom's territory after all. I don't want it to be out of control and without order."
Having said this, His Majesty the King looked at Luo Ning: "When you successfully clear out the pirate group's base and restore order to Waiheke Island, I will announce your marriage to Blanche. At the same time, in order to commend your honor and merit, I will I make you Viscount of Waiheke Island."
Luo Ning felt excited. Once he became the viscount of the kingdom, it would be a solid step for him to become a marquis in the future.
This father-in-law is really nice. He gave many and good things.
Moreover, Luo Ning also noticed.
His Majesty the King will not give anything away directly.
For example, he was asked to pick out two fighting skills or magic books in the library on the pretext of collecting Luo Ning's "Explosive Flame Slash";
Giving Luoning 50,000 gold coins worth of damage to his reputation plus medical expenses went a roundabout way and was given to him through the tournament champion;
Now, the knighthood can be achieved by annihilating the White Whale Pirates, conquering Waiheke Island, and marrying Blanche.
Every step has a valid reason.
"Luo Ning, thank you for your trust!" He said gratefully.
He looked towards Waiheke Island. The location of this island was still very subtle.
If the port in the Northern Territory of Wuhan is established, Luo Ning's warships can bypass the North Sea and enter the Screaming Sea, approaching the Earl of Screaming Island.
If there is Rapids Island in the future, it will be more convenient for him and the Dennis family to attack Screaming Island.
Roning can even use Rapids Island as an aircraft carrier.
"Rapids Island is not far from your Wubei Territory. When Blanche gets married, I will give you a few griffins so that you can travel between the two places more conveniently."
Roning's smile never stopped.
Griffins, this is the mount that many people dream of.
Back in Shore City, Roning had also thought about the griffin knights under Jesus, but later gave up.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty is willing to give it now.
It seems that there are too many benefits of marrying with the royal family.
Roning knelt on one knee: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. It is my honor to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Blanche laughed and joked: "Am I too cheap? My father paid a lot to marry me off!"
It was indeed a bit too much.
However, Roning did not think that Bruno did all this out of a father's love for his daughter.
Ronin had the idea of ββcurbing the Count of Screaming Island, and Bruno might not have the same idea.
According to his observation, Bruno was not a foolish and incompetent king who only sought pleasure.
On the contrary, judging from the way he handled these things, he was more rigorous.
So Ronin had reason to believe that Bruno was more or less worried when he saw the marriage between Ferensburg, Vera, Screaming Island, and Moonlight Valley.
Giving Rapids Island to Ronin was actually also relying on the power of the Wushan family.
As a neighbor of the Principality of Vera, Moonlight Valley, and Screaming Island, if this marquisate developed, it could well disperse the pressure on the king.
They were not close relatives, so there was no love without reason. (End of this chapter)
