Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Diane's enthusiasm was not limited to the brief moment of meeting. Later, she prepared various fruits and snacks for Luo Ning. She even asked Luo Ning what he liked to eat for lunch and made it specially for him.

In a daze, she seemed to change from a stepmother to a biological mother.

No, she is probably closer than her biological mother. Even when Brayton comes back from outside, Diane may not be so enthusiastic.

She asked Brayton more and encouraged him to spend all his time on training, improve his strength as much as possible, and become a powerful knight who can stand alone as soon as possible.

But the more unusually enthusiastic he was, the more cautious Luo Ning became.

Anyway, no matter what the other party's purpose is, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

After eating some fruits and ordering dishes, Luo Ning finally got rid of Diane's enthusiasm and walked to the back courtyard alone.

"Master Luo Ning, you are finally here!"

After hearing the guard's announcement, Old Butler Most informed Rulans of this information, and the Marquis rarely showed a happy expression.

"Long time no see Most, how is my grandpa?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine!"

Most didn't know whether he was telling a lie or the truth, "After receiving your letter and learning that you would come back for your birthday, the master was very happy and has been thinking about you!"

His description reminded Luo Ning of a lonely old man who stayed in his hometown waiting for his children to come back. Lulans was not like this.

Although it is the place where the Marquis lives daily, the facilities and scenery here seem to have remained unchanged.

Luo Ning, led by Most, quickly arrived at Rulans' study. At the moment, the latter was sitting on the sofa, resting.

The old man was dressed more formally and seemed to be in good spirits, but when Luo Ning saw Lu Lansi's appearance, he was still shocked.

At this time, Lulans was much thinner than before, almost skinny and bones. His hair was completely gray and his eyes were sunken.

"Grandpa, how are you?"

Luo Ning asked with concern: "Why are you so thin?"

Lulans raised his hand, Most understood, and immediately bowed out of the study and closed the door.

"This is the side effect of the Soul-Eating Surge. After a violent use, the backlash effect will become stronger and stronger until a balance is reached again."

Lulans smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just lost a little weight."

He looked Luo Ning up and down, and then nodded slightly, "He has grown a little taller and matured a little. How is the construction of Wubei Territory going?"

Luo Ning took out a purification spell scroll from his arms, "Grandpa, I got a few light attribute magic purification spell scrolls to see if they have any effect?"

"The purification spell scroll is not easy to buy. It seems that you spent a lot of money."

Lulans took the scroll and opened it, took a look at it, and then put the spell scroll away, "It's a pity that it costs you money, but unfortunately, it has no effect on the Soul-Eating Surge."

"Not at all?"

Luo Ning asked subconsciously, but he could guess by looking at the other person's expression that Lu Lansi might have received purification treatment.

Next, the other party's words confirmed Luo Ning's guess.

"I have heard of the fourth-level light attribute magic purification technique when I was young. Although light attribute magicians are rare, if you look at the entire Orlant continent, there are still some. I found one through my connections back then. The great light attribute magician, he personally performed the purification technique, but apart from making the body feel comfortable, it had no effect on the soul-devouring surge."

That's right, Lulans spent a lot of money and made many connections to cure the disease in his body. He must have heard of the magic of purification, and he must have tried it.

"There's something special about this magic."

Rulans said: "When other magic is injected into my body for treatment, not only will it not be effective, but it will easily trigger the backlash of the soul-eating surge. But light-attribute healing, purification and some magic do not have this aspect. concerns."

"This is also the main reason why Miroslav and Silva insist that light magic can heal the injuries in my body."

Luo Ning had no choice but to put away the purification spell scroll, "Okay, I will find the magic to cure you."

If he had the sixth-level monster Carlos, he would be able to protect himself.

Redal is also relying on his own cultivation talent to improve his level progress. Ronin's next energy essence will be invested in Elrond, allowing him to become an eighth-level mage as soon as possible.

Just looking at Rulans' current situation, I don't know if he can last seven or eight years as he said before.

If the time is too short, Luo Ning might be too late.

After all, there are only a handful of eighth-level magisters on this continent. If you want to train subordinates of this level, even if you can get a lot of energy essence by signing in every month, you still have huge pressure.

You should still work harder on your achievements and try to accumulate more energy essence.

"The development of Wubei Territory is on the right track."

Since there was no cure, Luo Ning answered the other party's questions.

"It's just that the biggest problem right now is the population shortage."

Luo Ning said: "I have asked people to collect more free people for me to join the Northern Territory, which has alleviated the pressure of population shortage, but it is still relatively slow."

"The development of a territory does not happen overnight. Make a plan, proceed step by step, and be patient."

Rulans warned: "The general population of a viscounty is around 50,000 to 60,000, and even the prosperous Trojan City has a population of more than 100,000. This is the result of many years of development."

"As long as you develop the territory's economy, make it unique, and improve your reputation at the same time, many freedmen and knights will naturally join your ranks."

"The population, even if it reproduces naturally, will naturally increase in the next ten or twenty years as long as the territory's resources are built up."

This is just a general approach. If Luo Ning wants to achieve more, he needs to gain population growth in the short term.

Waiting for more than ten or twenty years, let’s not say whether Luo would rather wait, let’s talk about Rulans, he will never have the chance to wait until then.

However, Luo Ning still listened carefully to Lu Lansi's teachings.

"Grandpa, you just mentioned the characteristics. This time I brought the characteristics from Wubei tie."

"Oh?"

Lulans smiled and said, "It's not silk clothes again, is it?"

He liked the scarf from last time very much.

"That's not true. Wubei Territory has a little more features than you know."

He said, taking the wooden box from the guard on the side, placing it on the table and slowly opening it.

The wooden box is filled with grass blades for cushioning, and a white porcelain bowl is placed in the center.

"This is?"

Lulans picked up the white porcelain bowl from the box in surprise, "How can it be so delicate? Is this pottery?"
