Chapter 156 156 Accompanying the Princess on a Tour
Chapter 157: Traveling with the Princess
Ronin selected two places to visit from the list Moster gave him yesterday.
In the morning, he traveled around Wushan Lake and then took a walk in the forest park by the lake, which was a relatively leisurely and relaxing entertainment activity;
In the afternoon, he chose to take the princess to the Colosseum, which was a more exciting entertainment activity.
The princess's trip was very grand.
Although she only brought the Knight Missy with her, Wushan Castle sent a team of knights led by Galil to escort her all the way, and there were also more than a dozen servants.
These people were either responsible for vigilance or for building temporary sun umbrella-style sheds, setting up tables and chairs, and preparing snacks and food.
When Ronin first patrolled Shanlin Town, he ate dry food and cold water outside at noon. How could there be such a grand show now?
On the Wushan Lake, a large ship quietly stopped on the water.
Roning was fishing with a fishing rod. In just three or five minutes, he had already pulled up seven or eight fish, which attracted the applause of Princess Blanche, making him feel like a great angler.
He decided to make a fishing rod when he returned to Shanlin Town and try his hand at Shanlin Lake.
"I heard that there is a very large library in the capital, which has all kinds of books."
Roning was fishing while talking to Blanche. After all, he was a guest, and he couldn't just leave the main guest alone and focus on fishing.
"I wonder if there are any books specifically introducing the Orlant Empire and related books before the establishment of the empire?"
Although Lu Lans also had some books, they were not detailed enough, and many years were broken.
As for the historical books before the empire, there was not a single one.
The imperial calendar has only been 968 years so far, and he doesn't believe that this world has less than a thousand years of history.
"There are quite a few books on the history of the empire."
"It is said that the period before the empire was too chaotic, and as you know, books have always been expensive, not many were made, and even fewer were preserved."
Blanche sighed softly, with an indescribable sadness on her face: "I have also tried to understand many times, but I have gained very little."
Ronin was a little surprised, "Even the library in the capital doesn't have such books?"
"There are some."
Blanche smiled and said: "If you want to read, you can come to the capital to find me at any time, I will take you to the library for a few weeks."
It seems that the other party is quite satisfied with Ronin. Such invitations have been sent three times.
Of course, it may be that the other party said this out of politeness.
While talking, Ronin pulled up another herring, "Come on, Your Highness, don't just watch, come and try."
"Me?"
Blanche pointed at herself, a little surprised, and a little at a loss.
To be honest, after many trips, she was invited to fish for the first time, and it was also the first time she was asked to hold a fishing rod.
"I've never fished before, I'm afraid I can't do it."
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
Roning handed the fishing rod to the other party, "If the fish are good, you just need to maintain enough patience and concentration to be able to do it."
"Well... okay then."
Blanche took the fishing rod a little awkwardly, and then tried to cast the line, but she was really not familiar with it, so she didn't cast it well twice in a row.
"Maybe the fishing rod is too heavy."
Roning stood behind Blanche, and his hands went forward around her body to hold the fishing rod, "I'll help you."
Listening to the voice next to her ear, feeling the heat transmitted to her ears when the other party spoke, Blanche only felt her cheeks flushed and her heartbeats accelerated a lot.
A princess of the royal family should have experienced 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 are afraid that if they get close, they will be caught by Bruno and given marriage, and then killed.
So in these years, she has never had such an intimate behavior with others, and for a while she forgot how to throw a fishing rod.
She only remembered that she cast well this time, and soon a fish took the bait, and soon she caught the first fish in her life.
"Great~"
She laughed, hiding her strange emotions.
The two of them fished a few more times, and then took a boat back to the shore. After handing the fish to the servants to prepare lunch, the two of them took a walk.
After a few hours of getting along, the two sides became more familiar with each other, and it would not be so awkward when they were alone.
After having lunch in the lakeside woods, the two rested for a while and started to rush to the Wushan City Colosseum.
Their best position had been booked long ago, and even the start time of the Colosseum had been adjusted.
The Colosseum of Wushan City stands in the center of the city.
This huge building is like a mountain, solid and stable, giving people a sense of a majestic momentum without anger.
The center of the Colosseum is a huge performance stage, where gladiators and monsters will fight for their lives on the stage, bringing thrilling scenes to the audience;
The stage is surrounded by high walls, which are more than ten meters high, enough to prevent the monsters inside from harming the audience on the top of the wall.
This time, Roning only brought Macken, and Missy was still with Blanche.
The four of them sat in the best position in front of the stands, and when they looked down a little, they could see the entire performance stage.
At this time, the stands were already full of spectators, including nobles, knights, merchants, etc. Anyone could come as long as they could pay at least three silver coins for each match.
"There is also a Colosseum in the capital, and it is bigger than the one here."
After the close contact during fishing, Blanche obviously spoke a lot more, "I have also watched it a few times. The scene of the beast fight is very spectacular, but also very tragic!"
It is indeed tragic, especially the defeated gladiators, who have a very miserable end, and some are even eaten by monsters on the spot.
But people still flock to the beast fight because it is bloody, violent, and exciting enough.
"Boom!"
A dull drum sound slowed down the heartbeats of all the audience.
The host in gorgeous clothes has already stood on the stands, and he introduced loudly: "Welcome everyone to the Colosseum of Wushan City!"
"Today our Colosseum has welcomed an unprecedented heavyweight audience!"
As he spoke, a beam of light shone on Ronin's position, illuminating him and Princess Blanche.
"That is the beautiful Princess Blanche from the noble Alduin royal family!"
"Please allow me to invite everyone to welcome Her Highness with the warmest applause!"
Princess, this is a great figure that many people have never had the opportunity to see in their lives, and under the light, Blanche looks exceptionally beautiful.
This immediately attracted thunderous applause, and many people shouted the name of Her Highness, expressing their enthusiasm.
Blanche was quite accustomed to such a scene. She stood up and walked to the front of the stands, waving to the surroundings with a smile on her face, looking like a star responding to the cheers of fans.
Roning looked at the other side of the stands unexpectedly, the magic crystal lamp beside the host, is this the spotlight of this world?
He frowned slightly.
In the itinerary submitted by Most, there was no mention that there would be a special section for the Wushan City Colosseum to introduce Her Highness Princess Blanche.
You know, one of the builders of this Colosseum is Wushan Castle.
In addition to sharing the profits with Wushan Castle, the operators of the Colosseum must also obey the orders of Wushan Castle.
If there was an introduction session early in the morning, it should have been explained in advance so that the princess could be prepared.
Roning glanced at the people standing behind.
In order to give Roning and Blanche enough space, Knight Missy and McKen stood a few meters behind them.
McKen understood and immediately stepped forward, "My Lord?"
Roning said softly, "Be careful."
