Chapter 157 Accompanying the Princess on a Tour
Roning chose two places to visit from the list Most gave him yesterday.
In the morning, we spent time at Wushan Lake and then walked in the forest park by the lake. This was a relatively leisurely and relaxing entertainment activity.
In the afternoon, he chose to take the princess to the Colosseum, which was more exciting entertainment.
The princess's trip was a grand affair.
Although she only brought Knight Missy with her, Wushan Castle sent a team of knights led by Galil to escort her along the way, and there were also more than a dozen servants following them.
These people are responsible for guarding or building temporary sun umbrella-style sheds, setting up tables and chairs, and preparing snacks and food.
When Luo Ning first inspected Shanlin Town, he had to eat dry food and drink cold water outside at noon. How could there be such a grand ceremony as it is now?
Above Wushan Lake, a large ship was quietly parked on the water.
Roning was fishing with a fishing rod. In just three to five minutes, he had caught seven or eight fish, which attracted Princess Blanche's applause and praise and made him feel like a great angler.
When he returned to Shanlin Town, he decided to make a fishing rod and try his hand at fishing at Shanlin Lake.
"I heard that the capital has a very large library with all kinds of books."
While fishing, Roning talked to Blanche. After all, he was accompanying a guest and could not leave the host alone and focus on fishing.
Are there any books that specifically introduce the Orlant Empire and the period before the establishment of the Empire?
Although Lu Lans also had some books in his collection, they were not detailed enough, and many periods were missing.
As for historical books before the empire, there is not a single one.
Although the Imperial Calendar has only existed for 968 years, he doesn't believe that this world has a history of less than a thousand years.
"There are quite a few books on the history of the empire."
"The period before the Empire was said to be too chaotic, and as you know, books have always been expensive, not many were made, and even fewer have survived."
Blanche sighed softly, indescribably sad: "I have tried to understand many times, but I have gained very little."
Luo Ning was a little surprised. "Even the library in the capital doesn't have such books?"
"Yes, there are some."
Blanche smiled and said, "If you want to read it, you can find me anytime in the capital. I will take you to the library for a few weeks."
The other party seems quite satisfied with Roning, as such invitations have been sent three times.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party said this out of politeness.
As he spoke, Luo Ning pulled up another herring. "Come on, Princess, don't just watch. Come and try it."
"I?"
Blanche pointed at herself, somewhat surprised and a little at a loss.
After many trips, this was the first time she was invited to go fishing and the first time she was asked to hold a fishing rod.
"I've never fished before, so I'm afraid I can't do it."
"It's okay. I'll teach you."
Luo Ning handed the fishing rod to the other party, saying, "If the fish situation is good, you just need to maintain enough patience and concentration, and you will succeed."
"Well... okay then."
Blanche took the fishing rod awkwardly and tried to cast the line, but she was unfamiliar with it and failed twice in a row.
"Maybe the fishing rod is too heavy."
Luo Ning stood behind Blanche, put his hands around her body, and grabbed the fishing rod. "I'll help you," he said.
Listening to the voice right next to her ear and feeling the heat from the other person's voice, Blanche felt her cheeks turn red, and her heartbeat quicken.
A royal family princess should experience all kinds of occasions, but because of her bad reputation, she has not had much contact with the opposite sex in recent years.
Because those people were afraid to get too close, they would be captured by Bruno, forced to marry, and then killed.
So, in all these years, she had never had such an intimate encounter with anyone, and for a moment, she even forgot how to throw the fishing rod.
She only remembered that she threw it well this time, and soon a fish took the bait, and soon the first fish in her life was caught.
"Great~"
She laughed, hiding her strange emotions.
The two men fished several times and then returned to the shore by boat. After handing the catch to the servants to prepare lunch, they walked.
After a few hours of getting along, both sides became more familiar with each other and were less awkward when they were alone.
After lunch in the woods by the lake, the two rested and headed towards the Wushan City Colosseum.
Their best seats had already been booked, and even the start time of the Colosseum had been adjusted.
The Colosseum of Osan Castle stands in the heart of the city.
This huge building is like a mountain, solid and stable, giving people a sense of majestic momentum.
The center of the Colosseum is a huge performance stage where gladiators and monsters will fight for their lives, bringing thrilling scenes to the audience;
The stage was surrounded by walls more than ten meters high, enough to prevent the monsters inside from harming the audience on the stands at the top of the wall.
This time, Roning only brought McKen, while Missy stayed with Blanche.
The four sat in the best position at the front of the stands. They could see the entire performance stage when they lowered their heads slightly.
At this time, the stands were full of spectators, including nobles, knights, merchants, etc. Anyone could come as long as they could pay a viewing fee of at least three silver coins per game.
"There is also a Colosseum in the capital, bigger than this one."
After the intimate contact during fishing, Blanche was more talkative. "I have also watched the beast fights a few times. The scene is very spectacular but also very tragic!"
It was tragic, especially for the defeated gladiators, whose end was extremely miserable; some were even eaten by monsters on the spot.
But people still flock to beast fighting because it is bloody, violent, and exciting enough.
"Boom!"
A dull drumbeat slowed down the heartbeats of all the audience members.
The host, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was already standing in the stands. He introduced loudly: "Welcome everyone to the Colosseum of Wushan City!"
"Today, our Colosseum welcomed an unprecedented number of heavyweight spectators!"
As he spoke, a beam of light shone on where Ronin was, illuminating both him and Princess Blanche.
"That is the beautiful Princess Blanche from the noble Alduin royal family!"
"Please allow me to invite everyone to welcome His Highness with the warmest applause!"
Princess, this is a great person that many people will never have the chance to see in their lifetime, and under the light, Blanche looks extremely beautiful.
This immediately drew thunderous applause, with many people shouting the name of Her Royal Highness the Princess and expressing their enthusiasm.
Blanche was quite accustomed to such scenes. She stood up and walked to the front of the stands, waving to everyone with a smile. She looked like a star responding to the cheers of fans.
Luo Ning looked at the other side's stand in surprise. The magic crystal lamp beside the host—is this the spotlight of this world?
He frowned slightly.
The itinerary submitted by Most did not mention that there would be a section at the Wushan City Colosseum specifically introducing Her Royal Highness Princess Blanche.
You know, one of the builders of this Colosseum was Wushan Fort.
In addition to sharing the profits with Wushanbao, the Colosseum operators must also obey Wushanbao's orders.
If there is an introduction session early in the morning, it should be explained in advance so the princess can be prepared.
Roning glanced at the people standing behind.
Missy Knight and McKen stood a few meters behind Roning and Blanche to give them enough space.
McKen understood and immediately stepped forward, "Sir?"
Luo Ning said softly: "Be careful."
