Lord: The inheritance right is taken away at the beginning

Chapter 207 Lei Sen's Ending

Rogner has adapted to his new life.

Ever since he followed Ronin after completing the cleanup mission in Swamp Town over a month ago, he took Kurami and three other knights to conduct a sweep in the wilderness around Gray Earth Village.

After clearing out the more threatening wild beasts and monsters around Gray Earth Village, he returned to Swamp Town and began purchasing food.

"Sir, three hundred thousand kilograms of food has been safely transported to Swamp Town."

In the study, Rogner reported the work results to Roning: "Wilson and Chahar are arranging people to transport and store this batch of grain."

Although most of the food will be consumed in Swamp Town, some will be dispersed to places like Shanlin Town and Black Soil Village, requiring secondary transportation.

Fortunately, the routes between several villages are relatively safe now, and there is no risk even without the escort of knights.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Purchasing food is simple. After all, Rogner grew up in the Horse Herding City and has friends and connections there. He even got some discounts for Roning.

However, transporting 300,000 kilograms of grain requires much time and effort.

This time, the food supplier was a chamber of commerce in Lingchuan City. They had insufficient reserves in Muma City and could only transfer food from Lingchuan City.

Lingchuan City is located north of Wushan City, about 500 to 600 miles from Swamp Town. Although it is not too far, there are many complicated things to prepare.

Luo Ning was very willing to try this kind of long-distance grain transportation.

This is because it can train Rogner and his team's transportation capabilities, and if a war breaks out in the future, they will have a certain experience and foundation in logistics.

"Sir, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

After discussing grain transportation, Rogner described what he saw and heard in Lingchuan City: "It's about Lei Sen."

"Oh?" Roning became interested.

The bird path from Shanlin Town to Wushan Fort was completed two days ago. Luo Ning tried to send a greeting letter to Lu Lans, but due to the short time, he has not received a reply.

We may have Lei Sen's final judgment if there is a reply.

"Leisen admitted to the crimes of occupying Shanlin Town's resources and assassinating you multiple times. He also admitted that he had contacted the Skull and Bones Society. However, Leisen denied the accusation revealed by Feridon that the Skull and Bones Society was related to the Purple Thunder Family under Earl Hyde."

Luo Ning frowned slightly. He knew it was difficult to prove that the Zi Lei family had a relationship with the Skeleton Society. Still, he did not expect Lei Sen to deny his confidant's confession directly.

"How did the other party make an excuse?"

Rogna replied, "The other party only said that when they attacked the Black Gold Brotherhood, they accidentally obtained a stronghold of the Skull and Bones Society, so they sent Feridon to 'Yuanguang Town' to deliver a letter, and accused Feridon of being forced to give false testimony and saying that Yuanguang Town was the Purple Thunder Territory."

Yuanguang Town is located in the southeast of Wushan Territory. Yuanguang Town used to be a vassal of Wushan Fort.

However, in the subsequent wars, the Black Gold Brotherhood killed the local lord, and Yuanguang Town fell into the hands of the other party and has not been recovered until now.

"What did Feridon say?" Roning asked.

Rogner couldn't help but sigh. "Firidon cried and said that he didn't trust Leisen, and he turned against Galil, saying that he was tortured into a confession and forced to forge testimony, and then he committed suicide in court."

this...

When he came into contact with Feridon in Swamp Town, the other party expressed his desire to follow him like Joffrey, but Ronin did not agree.

Unexpectedly, the other party's outcome was to commit suicide in court. Luo Ning did not expect that the other party had such courage.

Perhaps when facing Lei Sen, Feridon's past oath to follow him came into play.

"What's the final result?" Luo Ning asked.

"Under the jury of officials from the kingdom, Lord Wiggins, officials from Black Python City, and many nobles from Wushan Territory, Leisen was finally sentenced to death by hanging. The execution will take place four days later, on the morning of April 5th."

Rogna sighed, "Galil is also unlucky. The people of Black Python City accused him of framing the nobles and asked Wushan Castle to put him on trial."

While Roning lamented Lei Sen's ending, he was also shocked by Galil's experience.

However, this accusation can only disgust Galil, and it is unlikely to have much substantive impact on him.

After explaining these things, Luo Ning took the things out of the drawer.

"This healing spell scroll that Elrond made in February or March. I'd like you to take it to the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce to sell it."

Although Rhonin asked Elrond to focus most of his energy on the research and production of herbal medicine and magic potions, the production of healing spell scrolls did not stop.

After all, with Elrond's current strength as the chief magician, making a second-level spell scroll does not require too much mental and magical power, nor does it take too much time. He needs to take time to draw one every day.

Recently, Roning has also used the materials he bought in Wushan City to make more than a dozen third—and fourth-level spell scrolls, such as Wind of Detection, Surge, Pyroblast, etc.

However, he did not plan to sell these and kept them for himself or his knights.

"Also, help me notify Pearson and ask him to purchase 50,000 kilograms of iron ore and transport it to Gray Earth Village from the road in Swamp Town."

During these two months, after William made a larger blower, the blast furnace could finally completely melt the iron blocks into molten iron, which meant that Wubeiling could use casting technology.

Since he could smelt iron, Roning no longer needed to buy wrought iron from outside. Instead, he could directly purchase iron ore and smelt it himself.

A pound of wrought iron on the market costs at least forty copper coins, while a pound of iron ore costs between five and eight.

Although a pound of iron ore may only produce 30% to 40% iron in the end, and you need to prepare fuel, labor, etc., when refining it, after some calculations, it is still more cost-effective to refine it yourself.

"Fifty thousand kilograms of iron ore..."

Rogner hesitated, "Sir, smelt iron yourself takes time and effort, and the output is very unstable. Why don't you buy wrought iron?"

He didn't know Huitu Village had already built an iron blast furnace.

To be precise, the iron-making area has become a confidential area.

In addition to instructing that no unauthorized persons were allowed to approach the work area, Roning also arranged for guards to guard the area. He also issued a gag order to blacksmiths such as Kalrus. Anyone who leaked the information would be subject to the most severe punishment.

In response to Rogna's suggestion, Roning smiled and said he wanted to try it, then changed the subject.

"A barony called Kona near Brilliant City is almost out of business, and many people are fleeing. Anthony has helped me gather 560 civilians. I need you to bring food and a convoy to bring these people to Shanlin Town."

Many barons and pioneer knights in Wushan Territory go bankrupt yearly, and Anthony has already set his sights on these territories that are having trouble operating.

Moreover, this is not Antonella's first batch of people.

Last month, he recruited 864 free people in the Horse Herding City, and now Roning has arranged for them all in Shanlin Town.

If more than 500 people are included this time, Shanlin Town's population will reach 3,500.

"Yes, sir."

Rogner sighed inwardly; it seemed that he would be on the go in the future.
