Chapter 367 Help from stepmother

Luo Ning walked out of Lu Lansi's room and took a deep breath.

On the way here, he was worried that there would be some twists and turns, causing Elrond's magic to be unable to purify the old man's soul-eating surge. Now the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"What are you and grandpa talking about, are you so happy?"

McKinney came up to him and naturally took Luo Ning's arm, "We haven't heard grandpa laugh so heartily for a long time."

Kabir also wants to know.

Not just laughter, he just felt a powerful momentum and magic wave coming from the room. According to his intuition, it was definitely not something that a golden knight or a high-level magician could send out.

He couldn't help but look at Elrond who was following him. Why did Ronin bring this light magician here? Could it be?

Luo Ning laughed. According to Rulans' plan just now, he was planning to wait until he broke through and became a Silver Moon Knight before he considered announcing the news of his recovery.

Therefore, it was difficult for Luo Ning to tell the specific situation.

"I was just talking about some of my experiences in Jinyu City. The old man's smile was a bit low."

He changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the 10,000 people you gave me. It helped me a lot."

"It's all little things."

Kabir wisely did not express his doubts, "If you still have any difficulties in the development of Wubei Territory, you can talk to me or your sister. Hey, Vittorino from Angle City can cooperate with you to build a port. We can also find a project to run together.”

"Haha, that's what I wish for."

A few people chatted and laughed and left the courtyard.

Not long after, Lulans walked out on crutches as usual and went straight to the back mountain.

His surging fighting spirit overflowed from his body, and he was like a wild horse running wild on the mountain road.

On the top of the mountain, the Thunder Wind Chaser felt the momentum of its master and roared, carrying the thunder and rushing down.

Although Rulans has not recovered, he needs to vent the emotions that have been suppressed for so many years.

…

In Wushanbao Auditorium, Diane was holding a list and taking stock of preparations for the upcoming banquet.

Since she returned to her parents' home last time and saw the reality clearly, she has not expressed any opinions on the matter of the heir. As an ordinary person, she is not qualified to get involved in the battle between extraordinary people.

After getting out of paranoia, in addition to returning to rationality, her life seemed to become easier.

Even Rulans seemed to care less about her and was willing to leave many things inside and outside the castle to her to handle.

"Madam, Master Luo Ning wants to see you." Hallwater came over and reported.

Diane was startled at first, "Luo Ning is back?"

Then I became confused. The other party had never formally approached her as a stepmother. This was the first time.

She couldn't help but wonder what the other party wanted from her.

"Take him to the side hall next to him. I'll be there right away."

Diane made a mark on the list in her hand, and then told the maids some things. Then she tidied up her appearance and came to the side hall.

"Luo Ning, welcome home, when did you arrive?"

"Just arrived, ma'am."

Ronin stood up. Judging from the recent meetings, he could feel the changes in the other party's attitude and psychology. It was estimated that Brayton would not be forced to go against him.

This is something Rulans doesn't want to see. Fortunately, Ronin won't do this, and Brayton doesn't have any thoughts in this regard.

"Breton doesn't seem to be back yet?"

Diane smiled and gestured to sit down, "Brayton shouldn't be back until the morning of the day after tomorrow. The academy organized a wilderness trial in the past two months, and he is busy until now."

Perhaps she was not used to talking to Luo Ning, so she couldn't help but ask: "Just now, Hallwater said that you came to see me, which surprised me. In my impression, you never seemed to take the initiative to come to me."

Luo Ning smiled coquettishly. It seemed that we needed to communicate more about our relationship, so as not to have to find the other party if something happened in the future.

"I want you to do me a favor this time."

As he spoke, he came to the table nearby and opened several wooden boxes. There were a hundred goblets neatly placed inside.

"This is?"

Diane looked confused and couldn't help but reach out and pick up a cup, "Is this wine glass made of pottery?"

She shook her head secretly. Pottery seemed unable to achieve such an effect.

"This is porcelain, a specialty of Wubei Ling. I want you to use these goblets at the upcoming banquet so that the guests can come into contact with this kind of utensils."

Diane suddenly realized that this banquet was used to promote Wubei Ling's products to the outside world.

She couldn't help but look at the cup in her hand carefully.

This thing is not only small and exquisite, but also feels no smoother than a finely polished silver vessel. The key is that the pattern on the cup body does not look like it was painted on.

"This cup is very unique. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Luo Ning thought for a while and said: "The price has not been determined yet. But it is definitely more expensive than ordinary pottery cups, but for this set, the price is not as good as that of silver cups."

Difficulties in long-distance trade and transportation were one of the main reasons for the high price of European porcelain in the Middle Ages. The transportation conditions here in Luoning were not good, but they did not make the price of porcelain ridiculously expensive.

Of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the craftsmanship and gloss of his batch of goblets.

So he temporarily set the price between pottery cups and silver cups, which could give those nobles who couldn't customize silver tableware a new choice but felt that pottery cups were too tacky.

Dai Anni looked at it for a while, put the cup back, and said with a smile: "Your cup should have a certain sales volume, but if the pattern on it is more colorful and the painting technique is improved, I think it will have a better price."

Roning raised his eyebrows. His stepmother seemed to know more about the product and pointed out two key points at once.

"We are still studying the pigment. After all, it is not the same as painting. As for the painting technique, you know that it is very good to be able to draw leaves of this level in the remote areas of Wubei Territory."

Dai Anni pondered for a moment, "How about I find someone who is good at painting for you?"

She explained: "When I am bored, I love to plant flowers and plants, and sometimes I go out to sketch with some friends."

In fact, for Dai Anni, she knew that Roning's weight in Wushan Territory was getting heavier and heavier.

If nothing else, the three viscounts of Wushan Territory sent their sons to Wubei Territory for training. From this point, it can be seen that the other party's status is no longer the same as before.

On the other hand, her mother's family

When Breton first obtained the right of inheritance, many nobles and knights in Wushan Territory were willing or unwilling to approach Black Python City.

But with her father's cultivation abolished by Lu Lans, coupled with the rapid rise of Roning, Black Python City is now isolated.

So, whether for Breton or for himself, it is not a bad thing to help Roning.

Roning did not expect the other party to take the initiative to help him, but he did not mind the other party's help.

Paintings on porcelain can be used as an art form with unique aesthetic value. The skills, style and theme of the painting will directly affect the overall beauty and artistic value of the porcelain.

Generally speaking, porcelain with superb painting skills, unique style and clear theme will naturally be more expensive.

Roning needs people who are good at painting, and not just one, but a group.

"It would be my honor to get your help, Madam!"

Diane laughed, "But I have to say that no matter if it is me or my friend, the help I give you is not free."

"Hahaha, that's natural."

Roning laughed, brothers should settle accounts clearly, and blindly asking others for free help is not a long-term thing.

The two had a more detailed discussion on this issue, and basically confirmed that Diane would open a studio in Wushan City to train technical workers.

As for the share and remuneration of the future cooperation, Roning will let Chahar set prices according to the different painting skills.

Roning didn't expect that he just came to ask Diane for help, but in the end he kidnapped his stepmother to work for Wubei, and it was a technical job.

This is really a pleasant surprise.

Not long after, Hallwart knocked on the door and walked in, "Madam, Sir Omar is here with his son Vasily."

Diane frowned slightly. Sure enough, none of the direct descendants of the Hyde family came this year.

She knew very well that Orson and Barrington could not let go of their resentment towards Rulans.

The relationship between the two families now is just to maintain superficial peace. If there is any conflict in the future, her role as a middleman will be really awkward.

"I'll be there right away."

She greeted Roning and then walked over, "Holwart, please accept the cups Roning brought. I plan to use them at the banquet."

"Okay, ma'am." (End of this chapter)
