Chapter 20 Skull and Bones Society

Chapter 20 Skull and Bones Society

"Master, this was found on him."

In the twilight, McKeon held some items in both hands and presented them respectfully.

Luo Ning nodded slightly and took them one by one to check them.

His attention was first focused on the small black bag and the four pieces of parchment.

The small black bag was obviously filled with money. It made a rustling sound when I got it. I had no idea how many gold coins were in it.

And the four sheepskins...

After Roning saw the contents clearly, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Three of the parchments clearly recorded three wind-attribute spells, namely the first-level magic breeze spell, the second-level magic light body spell and the wind blade spell.

"God is helping me!"

Roning was extremely happy. He had been thinking that there was no way to learn magic, but he did not expect to get three kinds of magic at once in the blink of an eye.

"What's this?"

Luo Ning looked at the fourth piece of parchment with some confusion. There were red lines engraved on it, which were somewhat similar to the lines on the parchment that recorded the Qingfeng Technique.

"Could it be that he wants to copy the magic introduction of Qingfengshu and sell it?" Roning guessed.

He glanced at the three small bottles and a quill in the guard's hand, but he had no interest in them.

He put the purse and parchment into his pocket, then waved his hand, "Give the rest to Chahar later and ask him to keep it safe."

Roning looked at the trapped Magician and said, "McKen, find a rope and tie him up tightly. I have something to ask him later."

He planned to interrogate this person later and extract more magical knowledge.

Magicians are rare.

After dealing with the Magician, Roning dismounted, and now it was time to communicate with the Green family.

Seeing Roning coming, the three people from the Green family hurriedly saluted.

Chahar introduced at the right time: "Master, this is Master Malik of the Green family, Miss Marina and their knight Kane."

Luo Ning put his left hand on his chest, maintaining the etiquette of a nobleman. "I'm sorry we're a little late. How are your injuries?"

The boy Malik forced a smile and said, "Sir Ronin, on behalf of the Green family, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you. If you had not arrived in time today, we would probably have lost our lives."

The girl also echoed, "You are worthy of being the most outstanding bloodline of the Wushan family. The battle just now was so cool!"

Luo Ning smiled slightly. He was handsome, but he lacked the most outstanding bloodline of the Wushan family.

The reputation of the predecessor must have been heard by all the nobles, big and small, in Wushan Territory. Basically, they all said that the Wushan family had no future since they had an heir like Luo Ning.

While speaking, he was also looking at the two people from the Green family.

The girl's voice was rather thin, and her timbre sounded good, but her appearance was extremely ordinary.

She was about 1.56 meters tall. Although she was wearing a loose, long skirt, it was obvious that she was a little overweight and had quite a few freckles on her face.

As for the boy Malik next to him, he should be younger, and his face was a little pale, perhaps because he had lost a lot of blood.

Although he tried his best to maintain aristocratic etiquette and not be impolite, it was obvious that he was very tired.

Roning didn't communicate much. Just let them rest and recover.

"Chahar, bring my carriage over here so that the brave young master and the beautiful young lady can go in and have a rest for a while."

"Yes, sir!"

Chahar quickly turned around and pulled the carriage over.

Malik and Marina, brother and sister, did not want to hold on any longer. After expressing their gratitude to Ronin again, they went into the carriage with the help of Knight Kane to rest.

"Sir Kane, what exactly happened to you?" Roning then asked the other party about his experience.

It turned out that in the punitive war against the Black Gold Brotherhood launched by Earl Wiggins, Baron German, the patriarch of the Green family, was unfortunately injured.

Lady Flavia sent Knight Noel and his team of knights to Wushan Supernatural Academy to pick up Malik and Marina, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen on the way.

"The Magician hid in the dark and came up with two wind blades. Captain Noel managed to block one in a hurry, but the second one cut his throat!"

Kane was still immersed in the grief of losing his captain. "The young master and young lady's carriage was also cut open by the residual force of the wind blade, which is why the young master and young lady were injured."

Only then did Roning understand why the convoy escorting the heir of the Green family was led by a junior knight. It turned out that the captain died suddenly as soon as he took the team.

After hearing the other party's description, Roning also became wary of magic.

The scene of the Magician using the wind blade was still vivid in his mind, and thanks to McKen's timely reaction, he was able to avoid it safely.

"Skull and Bones?"

Luo Ning looked at the fallen assassins. There were indeed white skull patterns on their clothes. "Is this a killer organization?"

Kane sniffed and wiped away his tears. "I don't know much about it. It is said that the Skull and Bones Society, the Black Gold Brotherhood, and the Polante Thieves Group all appeared at about the same time."

"It's just that the latter two have bases, but the Skull and Bones Society doesn't. Their members are scattered, and they are involved in many assassination missions."

Luo Ning wrote down the name. He didn't know if these organizations active in Wushan Territory would come to cause trouble for him one day.

Hopefully, the remoteness of Hillwood Town would make him less noticeable.

"I'm sorry to hear about your dangerous experience. I will have my guards help you prepare your remains and bury them on the roadside."

"Thank you, Lord Roning!" Kane bowed in thanks.

Watching Kane bury his teammates with the help of the guards, Roning couldn't help but feel a little touched.

I don't know what this pair of siblings offended to bring about such a fatal disaster. It was truly an unprovoked disaster.

"The Green family..."

Luo Ning sorted out the information about this family.

The Green family's territory is in Lake Town. As the name suggests, there are many large and small lakes in its territory, so the family has abundant aquatic products, and their freshwater fish and shrimp are very popular in Wushan Territory.

Luo Ning remembered that the most delicious croaker came from Hushang Town.

"Could it be that this assassination was caused by a financial dispute?"

Ronin thought about it for a while and then stopped worrying about it. The affairs of the nobles were complicated. How could an outsider like him understand them clearly?

Anyway, he had saved the heir of the Green family and his daughter, so Baron German had to show his appreciation, right?

He should ask for something from the other party. This was the real thing Ronin should think about.

"By the way, I just completed the achievement by killing the junior knight."

Roning led the horse back to the guards' convoy and called up the system interface.

At this moment, his attribute points and energy essence have reached 30 points and 140 points, respectively, which are not only enough to fill up his knight level progress but also to raise the level progress of the light attribute magician he will soon possess to the late elementary Level.

It won't be long before he becomes an intermediate magician.

After witnessing the power of the intermediate wind magician, Roning was also looking forward to the light Magician.

"Sure enough, it's right to reserve some energy and essence instead of just giving it to Macken all at once."

Of course, after the light Magician reaches the intermediate Level and his strength has significantly improved, Roning still plans to let McKen break through to the advanced Knight first.

After all, a team must have a combat power ranking, and always improving it evenly is not the best option.

Luo Ning used up all 30 attribute points. As his physical strength increased, he realized that his mental strength was also growing rapidly.

[Level]: 1-Primary Knight (100/100); 1-Primary Magician (25/150)

As his mental power grew, Luo Ning felt that his mana space had also increased slightly, allowing him to refine more mana.

Thinking of the three kinds of magic he had just obtained, Ronin decided to try them later.

He turned his attention to the achievement master interface, estimating that the [King of Killing] achievement should be advanced.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be true. The new content is:

[King of Killing]: Kill any level 2 extraordinary unit, rewards: attribute points +50, energy essence +100.

Luo Ning's eyes lit up. He happened to have a level 2 extraordinary unit in his hand.
