Chapter 161: Strength Exposed
As the fog covering the Wushan City Colosseum was completely dispersed, the defense personnel led by Knight Galil quickly took over the place.
Galil realized something was wrong when he was shrouded in thick fog.
While notifying his father, Toru, the leader of the First Knights of Wushan Castle, he arranged for the knights and guards to block all entrances and exits of the arena.
At the same time, he led the team into the thick fog, trying to figure out what was happening inside. The arena was too large, and they couldn't tell the direction.
After all, Galil was a knight who had experienced the battlefield. Faced with such a situation, his heart fell into a basin of cold water.
Ronin and Her Royal Highness, the kingdom's Princess, were in the arena. If anything happened to them, especially the latter, not to mention Galil, even Wushan Castle would have difficulty explaining.
Fortunately, with the blessings of the Seven Gods, although the situation in the Colosseum was chaotic and there were many corpses, Roning, the princess, and others were not seriously injured.
Galil knelt on one knee and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, My Lord Baron. I failed to protect your safety. It was my fault!"
By this time, the frightened Blanche had regained her composure. She stepped forward and reached out to help Galil.
"This has nothing to do with you. None of us expected something like this to happen. But luckily, everything went well, and we were not injured."
Roning was still vigilantly observing his surroundings. He felt relieved only after he had made sure that there were no suspicious people. The Mundo assassin would not come for a second assassination.
"Galil, arrange for someone to check today's audience individually to see if any assassins are hiding among them."
Luo Ning ordered: "Also, tell your father that the staff of the Colosseum must also be checked."
"Yes, sir!"
Galil didn't expect Roning to be so clear in his thoughts. He accepted the order almost subconsciously and didn't react in time.
"There is one thing to note."
Luo Ning reminded: "There was a golden knight-level assassin who might have entered the Colosseum disguised as a high-level gladiator. Although the spell scroll hit him, he survived. I don't know if he has escaped from the Colosseum now."
Gold level?
Galil's heartbeat slowed down.
The assassination involved the Golden Knight!
The point is, even with the Golden Knight, the assassination still failed.
But he had no time to ask more questions. Even if such an assassin escaped, he would still threaten Roning and Blanche.
"I think maybe I should escort you back to Wushanbao first!"
Galil said quickly: "Gold-level assassins are too dangerous!"
Roning nodded, took Blanche's hand, walked around the rubble, seats, and corpses on the stands, and left the Colosseum.
Roning leaned on the cushion in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
The battle with the two assassins didn't consume much energy. It was mainly because the huge amount of mental energy consumed by using the sixth-level spell scroll made him a little tired.
Blanche sat there quietly; her lavender pupils focused on Roning's face. She felt that the boy in front of her, a few months younger than her, was becoming increasingly attractive.
"Ronin~"
She called out softly, "Thank you so much for this time. If you hadn't been here, I would have been killed by the assassin."
Luo Ning opened his eyes and smiled faintly: "Protecting your safety is what I should do Your Highness."
"Call me Blanche. I prefer you to call me that."
Roning was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. He had just closed his eyes and was thinking about who would want to assassinate the princess, but he ignored what impression this incident would leave on Blanche's mind.
The two of them got along well during the morning's outing, and if there were no other problems, he guessed that the marriage would be possible.
Now, the two of them have another adventure together. Although Blanche is a princess with more knowledge than her peers, she is still eighteen.
Luo Ning knew from the look in the other person's eyes that the other person was probably attracted to her.
"All right, Blanche."
Luo Ning restrained his smile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that the trip to Wushan Fort was not planned well this time, which led to this incident and frightened you."
Blanche shook her head.
This incident has nothing to do with Wushanbao. If we have to say who is responsible, it may be that we did not deploy enough defensive forces around when arranging to watch the beast fight.
"If assassins want to kill someone, they will always find a way to appear next to you."
Blanche shook her head, indicating that Roning didn't need to apologize.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm curious about you.
She blinked her big eyes, full of curiosity, wanting to discover more. "People outside say you are a junior knight who awakened not long ago, but your performance just now was too strong!"
Blanche didn't know how often she had seen the fighting armor, but she could never forget the scene when Roning's fighting armor covered her entire body.
"So, you are not only a powerful, high-ranking knight but also a mysterious magician?"
As a magician, Blanche could naturally see that Roning was using the breeze magic to disperse the fog.
Even though it looked strange for the latter to use the sword to carve spell patterns in the air, no one seemed to say it was not possible.
Many magicians cannot do this, probably because the knight's sword is too heavy and difficult to hold steadily and carve spell patterns.
Roning laughed. He had no way of hiding this matter. After all, the other party was not a fool. He saw Blanche clearly when she was held in his arms.
"Yes, I am indeed a knight and a wizard."
He spread his hands, "But compared to the magician, my knight is a little stronger."
After experiencing the incident in the Colosseum, Roning can hide some of his strength, but there is no need to hide all of his strength.
After all, if Roning wants more people to follow him in this world where supernatural powers exist, he must demonstrate his ability to manage territory and sufficient strength.
Roning could not get over the tragic deaths of the knights in the mouths of the green-skinned trolls and the excitement of watching their kind being eaten.
He can't keep a low profile since he has decided to bring a little change to the world.
Moreover, as a bronze-level player, he can indeed reveal some strength.
"You are awesome!"
Blanche couldn't help but exclaim: "It's been a long time since I've seen a dual-professional extraordinary person who masters fighting spirit and magic. You are the first young person I've seen!"
"Have you seen anyone like this who practices magic and martial arts?" Luo Ning asked.
"Yes, but they are all very old. But without exception, they are all very strong."
Blanche's mood improved as the conversation went on. She spoke a lot more and no longer maintained the practiced tone of a princess. Now, she sounded more like she was communicating with a friend.
She asked, "Do you know Count Belora, the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce founder?"
Luo Ning nodded, "I've heard of him. I heard he's an eighth-level magician?"
Blanche shook her head. "That was said a long time ago. As far as I know, Count Bello is now a ninth-level Grand Mage and a high-level knight."
Luo Ning was secretly shocked.
A ninth-level transcendent, what a powerful existence!
In a chaotic era, a great magician can easily form a king.
He also understood why the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce could be spread across large and small cities. Its founder represented authority.
Roning was convinced that although Lord Bellaro was only the earl of the kingdom, no one would dare to take advantage of him.
Then again, it shouldn't be that difficult for a ninth-level great mage to possess the strength of a high-level knight.
After all, his body has been soaked in extraordinary power for years, so there should be some difference between him and an ordinary person awakening his fighting spirit seed.
"Luo Ning, can you tell me your specific strength level?"
The curious light in Blanche's eyes remained.
"Certainly!"
Luo Ning said hesitantly: "I am a junior magician, a senior peak knight!"
After saying this, he moved closer and whispered, "But I have never told anyone about my identity as a magician. Please keep it a secret, Princess."
"Okay!" Blanche agreed with a smile.
