Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

A huge shadow once again covered the Rapids Island Pier, attracting the attention of busy people.

Although the people on the island have become familiar with the existence of the dragon these days, they still show awe every time they see it.

"Why does it feel like Mr. Dragon has grown bigger again?"

Karada, who was busy repairing the warship, was a little confused. He had had many contacts with the dragon Carlos and had a certain understanding of him.

It is clear that the dragons are larger today than ever before.

"Yes, it has indeed grown!"

Reese, who recently assisted in the defense of Rapids Island, nodded in agreement. He felt the same way.

At this time, Roning used his wings of wind to jump off the dragon's back and landed steadily on the warship.

"It's the Lord!"

When Karada and Reese saw Ronin coming, they were stunned for a moment, then greeted him warmly. The other busy knights and sailors also bowed in greeting.

If they were in awe of the dragon, then they were fanatically worshipping the dragon master before them.

After Luo Ning briefly greeted everyone, he signaled everyone to continue with the work at hand.

"I heard from Carlos that a total of three complete warships were captured in this battle. Which one?" He asked, pointing at the ground under his feet.

Karada explained: "The ship was quite badly damaged, so we just pulled it back over the past two days to see if it can be repaired."

"In addition, sir, in addition to these warships, we also seized ten magic cannons, including one level six and three level five, as well as nearly a thousand arrows and hundreds of high-quality armor and protective gear."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up and he looked delighted.

Ten magic cannons and three intact warships. Such a huge loss would hurt even the Fleming family, the overlord of the sea.

"Congratulations, Karada. Rapids Island has made a fortune this time!"

Speaking of which, Roning was a complete winner in this war on four fronts.

Karada was very humble and said that the credit this time basically belonged to Carlos and they were just helping out.

However, he also took advantage of this victory to offer his own suggestions to Ronin:

"Sir, our port can no longer accommodate so many ships. I want to expand it. However, on the one hand, we lack the start-up capital, and on the other hand, there are very few professional talents here."

In the past, when there were only one or two ships, Captain Vic could handle it with just a few crew members and maintenance workers.

But now there are more ships, and the port needs to be equipped with professional pilots, otherwise mistakes may occur.

"What do you think?"

"I plan to go to Niujiao Bay to recruit more people, but to get them to come to this currently very barren island, I will definitely need to offer a high price, or even give them some farmland on the island."

Roning understood that Karada had no money.

He smiled and said, “You are the governor of Rapids Island. You can make the decision on how to build this island.”

It was Ronin's plan to arm Rapids Island and even build a dock here. It was just that Wubei Port had not been built yet, so the work was not assigned here.

If Karada can recruit people to start the work, it is not impossible for Roning to provide financial support.

"I will give you 30,000 gold coins first, so you can go ahead and recruit people."

Karada's face lit up, "Thank you for your generosity, sir. I believe that Rapids Island will definitely be the most prosperous area in your territory in the future."

Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh. The down-and-out man who looked a little depressed at the beginning is now living a more cheerful and motivated life.

"Last time you told me that Monroe flowers were found on the island. How are they now?"

Monroe flower is one of the medicinal materials that assists in improving potions and is related to Elrond's making of magic potions.

"Lord Elrond has come to investigate and taught us how to plant crops. With the abundance of crops on the island's hills, we can continue to grow crops for many years if we plant them properly."

Luo Ning nodded and said, "From now on, when you deliver Monroe flowers, wood or other things to Wubei Territory, you will settle the sales with Wubei Territory normally. You can go to Wubei Territory to confirm the specific price and settlement method with Chahar when you have time."

He knew that the funds needed to build Rapids Island would be far more than 30,000 gold coins, so he decided to use the resources on the island to support the economic cycle in the territory.

Since there are resources on Rapids Island, we can sell them to realize the circulation of money within the territory. This will also avoid the problem of having to ask Roning for money every time we are short of money.

It would be fine if he came to Jiliu Island frequently, but if he didn't come here for half a year, the development here would stagnate.

Therefore, it is better to leave the construction and financial matters to the people below.

After all, the territory is now large, and if you want to manage it well, you must form a system. Roning only needs to be the creator and maintainer of the system.

Reese listened to their conversation without interrupting until the affairs of Rapids Island were basically discussed. Then he asked about the doubts in his mind.

"Sir, since you have come to Rapids Island, does that mean the battle in Moonlight Valley is over? My father..."

"The battle in Moonlight Valley is over, and we have won a great victory. As for Pointed City... don't worry, there are no so-called pirates attacking Dennis Port."

In order to prevent the Howling Island from attacking Dennis Port, Lulans and Roning discussed and decided not to let Vitorino send troops for support, but also to let Toru take the First Knights of Wushan Castle to the Pointed Horn City for defense.

This is the first time in the past thirty years that Pointed Horn City has been protected by Wushanbao.

But unfortunately, the enemy did not come.

Luo Ning briefly described the battle situation in Wushan Territory, which made the two men excited.

Encountering enemies on all sides, yet winning on all sides, this was a great victory for Wushan Territory!

"By the way, sir, we are also guarding a special prisoner."

Reese smiled and said, "He has a very special identity."

"Oh?"

Luo Ning immediately became interested, "Who is it?"

Reese glanced at Karada, who smiled and said, "It's the lord of Crescent Island, Viscount Partridge."

"Before their warships arrived that day, Mr. Dragon grabbed Patrich with his sharp claws. Although he was saved, all the bones in his body were broken. Now he is lying in bed and can't take care of himself. I found a woman in Blue Sky Town to take care of him."

Karada values ​​prisoners of status like these, and generally speaking, captured nobles will also receive certain preferential treatment.

Ronin knew about Howling Island and also knew that Viscount Patridge of Crescent Island was a Meteor Knight.

He couldn't help but let out a sarcastic smile, "This Mellen has even sent out the Meteor Knights. It seems that he is determined to forcibly occupy Rapids Island."

Karada also laughed and said, "It's a pity that he didn't expect your dragon to be so powerful and had already deployed defenses here."

"Let's go, take me to meet him."

In the relatively clean little room, the female servant was taking a nap leaning against the wall, while Partridge was groaning in pain on the boat.

As a Meteor Knight, he is very strong.

Even though all his bones were broken, he managed to survive.

It will take a long time just to get back into action.

"Hey, Coconut Auntie, what are you doing?"

Karada's call directly dragged the woman out of her dream. She stood up in panic, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, sir. I just fell asleep accidentally..."

Karada was a little embarrassed, but didn't want to blame him too much. He waved his hand and asked him to stand aside, then led Roning into the room.

The smell in the room was not very pleasant, so the attentive Knight Reis opened the window to let in fresh sea breeze.

"I'm really sorry to let the honorable Viscount Crescent Island suffer in such a small room."

The sudden sound of a stranger's voice made Partridge open his eyes.

He had never seen Ronin, but he could tell their identities from their attitudes.

"Baron of Rapids Island, Lord Roning, it is very disgraceful for you to treat nobles like this. It is not in accordance with noble etiquette and it damages the reputation of the Wushan family!"

Luo Ning curled his lips and said, "It seems that you are in good spirits. This is enough to prove that my governor has given you food and drink every day, and has served you well, and let you sleep in this relatively clean bed."

Hearing this, Partridge went a little crazy.

Yes, he had food and drink, but what was he eating?

Also, the woman's rough big hands could rub scars on his skin.

He was a nobleman who enjoyed a superior life. How could he have suffered such a crime?

"Ransom, I want to pay the ransom!"

Partridge shouted, "Crescent Island is willing to pay the ransom!"
