Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Waiheke Island.

More than two months have passed since Karada brought his people to move in here.

During this time, they took over the garrison of the Knights of Vali. Today, the port is guarded entirely by Karada's men.

Through this period of management, the original members of the Laen Society and the Baihua Society have basically all been involved in production, and the overall order is slowly getting back on track.

On the hillside outside the port, Karada and his deputy Lusen watched two departing cargo ships carrying the wood collected over the past two months.

According to Ronin's previous agreement, the two ships of cargo will be shipped to Screaming Island.

If nothing goes wrong, you can bring back 700 gold coins.

Lu Sen frowned slightly: "Karada, it has been more than two months now, why hasn't Lord Ronin come yet? He won't forget us, right?"

To be honest, they left the bustling Jinyu City and Niujiao Bay and came to this deserted island. All they had to face all day were either a group of savages or a group of mentally retarded or physically disabled people. Sometimes they were really exhausted physically and mentally.

In this case, if they were forgotten by the lord, then coming to Rapids Island with all their enthusiasm might be a bad choice.

In fact, it was not only Lu Sen, many people who came with them had such speculation.

After all, Jiliu Island is located in a remote sea and there is nothing special about it. And the nobles love to enjoy themselves, so who would come here for no reason?

Karada frowned slightly and had some doubts in his mind, but he had fought with Roning after all, and his intuition told him that the other party was not a person who went back on his word.

"Don't worry, the Lord and I have an agreement. If nothing unexpected happens, he will come over in the near future."

He took out the small map in his arms and said, "As far as I know, there is no port in Wubei Territory. If you want to come here, you have to cross Wushan Territory diagonally and then start from Port Dennis. Not to mention the journey on the sea, even if you ride a Warcraft mount, it will take several days to get here by land!"

Lu Sen looked at the map and felt a little relieved.

It’s just after the Chinese New Year and it will take at least ten days to get here.

But just as the two were talking, a strong wind blew in, and tremendous pressure came, making their bodies cold.

At this moment, a hearty voice sounded from behind them: "Karada, Lusen, what are you looking at here?"

The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

At this time, there were only two ships from Rapids Island docked at the dock, and there were no new ships. How could the lord's voice appear here?

They turned around to see what was going on, but the scene they saw made their hearts almost stop.

Lucen, who was a little timid and had never dealt with monsters, was so scared that he took a step back and fell to the ground.

"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this!"

Sweat broke out on Karada's forehead. Just now he was still wondering whether Ronin came riding a griffin, but he didn't expect it to be such a big and ferocious flying beast!

Although he had seen many magical beasts, the one in front of him did not belong to any type.

"Dragon...dragon?"

Karada, whose brain was at a standstill, suddenly thought of this word.

Call ~

Carlos exhaled a breath of hot air, as if rewarding the other party for guessing correctly.

When it was in the cave, it was always afraid of others.

Now the situation is reversed, and almost everyone who sees him will show fear.

Gotta say it, I quite enjoy the feeling of being scared.

Roning jumped off the dragon head with ease.

He exposed Carlos not for the sake of attracting attention, but for a purpose.

After all, the people of Waiheke are not Rydar, Macken or Elrond, and they are not bound by the contract.

Everyone has selfish desires, especially when he doesn't come here often.

In order to prevent these people from having any bad intentions, Roning needs to show his strong side.

Exposing one's own meteor-level strength is not as powerful as the shock brought by this unknown creature.

"Sir, is this a dragon?" Karada mustered up the courage to ask.

"Yes, it's called 'Frostfire Wing Carlos'"

Luo Ning introduced it with a smile: "However, not many people know about its existence yet. I hope that only you two know about it on Rapids Island."

While speaking, Carlos had already cast the light bending and shadow folding magic, slowly making its huge body disappear.

Roning only wanted Karada and Lusen, two management members, to know the dragon and didn't want other people to see it.

At this moment, his figure became tall and mysterious in the eyes of Karada and Lusen.

What kind of person would be able to control a dragon?

They didn't know the answer because no one in reality had ever heard of anyone owning a dragon.

In knight novels, such people are usually the protagonists and will become the masters of the continent.

"Let's go back to the port."

Luo Ning suggested, "Life on Rapids Island is hard. You must be tired of eating seafood and potatoes every day, right? Haha, this time I brought you the best wine and bread, as well as beef and mutton. I will notify everyone to attend the first banquet on Rapids Island in the evening!"

The atmosphere was eased by Ronin's laughter, and Karada and Lusen followed suit.

But they were wondering where the wine and bread were.

When Roning took out a large amount of supplies in front of the two of them, it added a sense of mystery.

That night, a banquet was held lively with the sea breeze.

Roning's arrival dispelled everyone's doubts. At the same time, when he talked about the plan to build a shipyard and expand the navy here, everyone understood that the lord attached great importance to Rapids Island.

Late at night, Karada handed a stack of documents to Ronin.

"My Lord, this is what you asked me to do, regarding the population census of Waiheke Island."

Luo Ning took it and took a quick look at it.

Although there are no special talents here, the population has reached more than 27,500 people.

Today, the registered population in all his territories has reached more than 92,000, less than 8,000 short of the 100,000 required for a prosperous population.

"Well done."

Luo Ning praised: "How is the navy training going?"

"There are currently 21 knights on Rapids Island. Excluding the eight or nine people who are responsible for daily management, the rest have training every day. In addition, we have also recruited a group of middle-aged men on the island who are strong and good at swimming to serve as sailors and archers. The overall progress is pretty good."

At this point, Karada scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's a pity that we only have one warship. It would be more convenient if we had another one."

"The temporary wharf in Wubei Territory is under construction. I have also found a shipbuilder, so shipbuilding will also be put on the agenda."

He thought for a moment and then said, "If necessary, I will buy a few more ships."

At this point, he took out the atlas and said, "When you have time, arrange for someone to search the island to see if they can find this plant. If you find any, mark it and I will pick it the next time I come."

The plant that Luo Ning was talking about was none other than the Monroe flower, which was used to make auxiliary enhancement potions.

According to Miroslav, Monroe flowers are produced on islands. There are still large areas on Rapids Island that have not been touched by humans, and the climate here is also suitable for the growth of Monroe flowers. If they are discovered, it will save Ronin a lot of money.

Karada put the blueprint away and said, "Sir, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

He paused and continued, "Since Laen was the leader of the Laen Society before, and he has many acquaintances on the island, he thinks he has more seniority and doesn't cooperate with some arrangements."

Roning frowned. Laen didn't show anything unusual at the banquet just now, and he was very humble when he surrendered. Could it be that he was pretending in front of him?

Karada wouldn't make up a lie for such a thing.

"You are the governor of Rapids Island. You can handle this matter as you wish."

Now that Luo Ning has delegated his power, he would be exhausted if he continued to take care of some things personally.

He paused and added, "Of course, cooperation is best."

"I understand."

Karada nodded. "I will try my best to persuade him and divide his influence in the Larn Society."

His biggest worry before was that Ronin would not allow him to punish the knights on the island, making some things inconvenient to do.

But now that he is sure that he can make the ruling, this will better establish his prestige as governor.

Witnessing the existence of the dragon today has convinced Karada that it is right to follow Ronin.

Maybe in the future this young lord will really become a figure who stirs up the continent.

In this case, he must perform well and demonstrate his abilities in all aspects.

Only in this way can we go further.
