Chapter 98 Visitors

Chapter 98 Visitors

Outside Ziguo Village, Horn and Jenny rode on their horses, looking in the direction where the team had left.

Although they stayed in Ziguo Village, their daughter Irene followed the team to Shanlin Town.

Although the two places are not far apart, and they can visit each other often, this is the first time that Irene has traveled far away from her parents.

No matter in which world, parents' feelings for their children are universal, and they are no exception.

Jenny quietly wiped her eyes, wiping away the tears that fell at parting, "I don't know if it's a good idea to let Irene follow the Baron."

Horn sighed and wiped the tears from his wife's face. "But we don't have any other choice, do we?"

Even though Roning treated them with courtesy and did not start from a "probationary period" like Wharton and Dandy from Qingzhu Village, and even though Jenny offered advice and strategies to conquer the Gray Earth Tribe successfully, they were still surrendered generals in the final analysis.

In addition, their previous identities were remnants and savages, so they couldn't quickly gain the lord's 100% trust.

So when Roning asked to take Irene away, they had no reason to refuse.

Horn comforted her, "Although the Baron has performed very well, he is only a 17-year-old boy. He likes Irene very much. He was always very kind and merciful when I was with him these past few days. I think he should treat Irene well."

Jenny shook her head. "Even if they slept together, they would have a foundation of affection. But Ronin is still the heir of the Wushan family. His marriage partner is either the daughter of a great noble or the daughter of a wealthy consortium. Without exception, they are all people who can consolidate their status. But what do we have?"

She sighed, "We are just ordinary second-level extraordinary people."

In her opinion, his daughter would be abandoned and would probably end up becoming Roning's lover and raising several illegitimate children.

After all, many nobles are like this.

"But our daughter is a thirteen-year-old magician. If she doesn't give up training, she will become a wizard sooner or later!"

Horn's words were full of confidence. "No one can underestimate a wizard. Moreover, we still have the opportunity to advance or even go further. Don't be so pessimistic, Jenny!"

"The Baron also attaches great importance to sericulture. If we do what he asks, the future will be good."

Jenny hesitated but nodded slowly.

Horn is right. Instead of being depressed and pessimistic, we should do what we should.

They wronged Roning.

On the one hand, he took Irene away to stop Jenny and Horn from thinking nonsense and running around and to do their job properly;

On the other hand, given Irene's great talent for magic, he wanted to take her out for a walk, broaden her horizons, and train her well.

Jenny and Horn caused things like sleeping in the same bed, abandoning each other, and even lovers and illegitimate children by treating Roning as an ordinary noble and imagining too many things.

Is Luo Ning an ordinary noble?

No, he is not. He is a noble with great principles!

On the way back, Irene held Roning's hand tightly because, among this group of strangers, the one next to her was the one she was most familiar with.

She looked at him pitifully, slightly red in the eyes. "Brother Luo Ning, you won't bully me, will you?"

"Of course not!" he said righteously.

"Then you won't sell me to someone else, will you? My father said that young female magicians are very popular among slave owners."

Roning rolled his eyes. Why would Horn say such a thing? Did he regard him as a human trafficker?

"Don't worry, I won't."

"Then will you sleep with me?" Irene asked.

These words immediately attracted the attention of the guards and soldiers nearby, but they glanced at him only, then turned their eyes to his nose and pretended that they heard nothing.

Luo Ning was embarrassed and pretended to cough, "No, I'm not interested in little girls. You will sleep alone when we get to Shanlin Town."

Irene's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself that it was her mother who was scaring her. In the past, when she asked her to be obedient, study hard, and practice hard, she would always scare her by saying there were monsters on the mountain.

But when she thought about sleeping alone, she hesitated: "But I'm a little scared to sleep alone, what should I do?"

"I'll let Bella stay with you."

"Who is Bella? Your wife?"

"No, Bella is my maid."

…

Luo Ning understood very well how a little girl would feel when she left her parents for the first time, so he answered Irene's questions as best he could, just to kill time.

The journey back to Shanlin Town was not fast. Since they did not set out early, it was not until around three in the afternoon that everyone came out of the woods and arrived at the northern border of the town.

"This is Shanlin Town. Look, over there are orchards and vegetable fields, and over there is pasture for grazing."

Roning pointed to several areas ahead and introduced them to the girl in his arms but got no response.

He couldn't help but look down, only to find that Irene had fallen asleep with her head tilted to one side.

The road from Ziguo Village back to Shanlin Town is quite long, and in many places, it is difficult to travel on horseback, so we have to walk.

This journey was unfriendly to Irene, a magician with a weak physique, and it was natural for her to feel tired.

He looked back at the team and saw that not everyone who had gone out returned this time.

Only seven of the twenty-seven guards returned, apart from the extraordinary people, and the rest were left to Ridar to help him train the new recruits recruited from the three villages.

All the eighty militiamen in Shanlin Town were brought back without missing one. After all, they had families and land here, and it would not be appropriate for them to stay there.

After returning this time, Roning instructed McKen and David to select thirty soldiers from these militiamen who had performed well and train them as new guards.

At the same time, during the slack season, militia training should be organized regularly to strengthen their coordination and combat capabilities and prepare for future expansion.

"Let's go, everyone. If we don't hurry up, there won't be enough time for Chahar to prepare dinner for everyone."

The team marched mighty towards the Mountain Forest Castle and naturally attracted the attention of many working people along the way.

With Wilson's intentional or unintentional revelations, the people in the territory all knew that the lord launched the cleansing operation against the savage tribe for their safety, which made Ronin's image even more majestic.

In addition, Wilson boasted about his return to Shanlin Town two days ago, and the people knew that the lord had defeated three savage tribes in a row and achieved an unprecedented victory, so they respected the lord even more.

Seeing the triumphant Ronin, the people cheered loudly and ran around to tell others the news.

When Roning returned to the castle, the butler Chahar and all the servants were standing outside the castle gate.

"Master, your loyal servants congratulate you on your triumph!"

Led by Chahar, Galen, and Bella, all bowed deeply to Roning.

Irene, who had woken up long ago, was stunned by this scene and thought Brother Roning looked impressive.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen Chahar for a while; how is the castle doing?"

Roning walked into the castle smiling, and the people behind him followed him one by one through the drawbridge and the gate.

"Master, don't worry; everything is normal in the territory. The barley harvested this autumn has been dried almost completely, and most of it has been stored in the warehouse."

"very good!"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "To celebrate our victorious return, I will hold a dinner party in the castle tonight. Go and inform Mrs. Bandler and ask her to bring people to prepare."

"Yes, sir!"

Chahar followed closely, "But a few people have come to Shanlin Town for two days. They said they want to see you. When are you going to meet them?"

"oh?"

Luo Ning stopped and asked, "Who's coming?"
