Chapter 162 Speculations
Speculations about what happened at the Wushan City Colosseum were like a gust of wind sweeping the entire Wushan City. The nobles were all shocked after hearing about this incident!
Princess Blanche had just arrived at Wushan Castle this morning and was assassinated at the Colosseum in the afternoon.
Judging from the entire assassination process, the other party had made arrangements in advance.
In addition, the assassin who became Gladiator Mundo in advance is not an assassin who can be found quickly.
In addition to this incident, there was another thing that was beyond the expectations of all the nobles - that was Ronin's strength.
The eldest grandson of Wushanbao, who was deprived of his inheritance rights by Lu Lansi, turned out to be a hero in the assassination of the princess. He repelled the assassin and showed his strength to the outside world.
"This is impossible!"
In a suite in Wushan Castle, Baron Leisen's face changed immediately after hearing the news.
If the outside world had told him that Ronin was a mid-level knight, he could barely have accepted it, but now he was told that the other party was a high-level knight.
It can be predicted that Wushan Castle will value Ronin with such strength, and the possibility of becoming a big man is very high!
And such a person is now the neighbor of the Sean Territory. More importantly, the two sides are currently in dispute and hostility.
"How can a junior knight who has just activated his fighting spirit become an advanced knight quickly?"
Lei Sen thought it was impossible. "Is this supposed to be a campaign by Wushan Castle to form a marriage alliance with Princess Blanche?"
He frowned, unable to figure out the reason.
However, Lei Sen is very clear about one thing: This Roning cannot stay for long, as doing so will bring endless troubles.
He knew this, and Count Orson should also know this.
"So, could this assassination be the work of Count Orson?"
Although Leisen was on good terms with Barrington and stood on the same side as the Hyde family, he was unaware of Earl Orson's every move.
Knight Joffrey, guarding outside the door, looked at the Baron pacing back and forth in the room. His heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down.
He now increasingly feels that following Lei Sen is not a good choice. It's just that when he had the choice, Roning had not yet become the lord of Shanlin Town.
While some people are sad, others are naturally happy, especially those nobles in Wushan Territory who dislike the Hyde family. They are more happy to see Ronin rise.
Since Roning has no complicated power background like Breton, future relationships will be very easy to handle.
At this time, people began to speculate why Lu Lans deprived Roning of his inheritance rights.
Is it simply that the relationship between grandfather and grandson is bad?
That doesn't seem likely.
After all, if the relationship between the two were really bad, Lulans would not have given such a valuable spell scroll, let alone let Roning go to receive Her Royal Highness the Princess.
After much thought, everyone could only conclude that the Marquis must have some other hidden meaning behind his actions.
"I don't have any deep meaning!"
Listening to Moster's report on the nobles' discussion, Lu Lans rubbed his eyebrows hard. He was now feeling both angry and happy.
What made him angry was that the murderers dared to assassinate the princess in Wushan City and almost succeeded;
what made him happy was the performance of his grandson, Luo Ning.
Although he relied on the spell scroll he gave to Ronin to repel the gold-level assassin, he did not faint after using the scroll. This can only be done by at least a high-level knight.
So, he was sure that Roning had become a high-level knight.
A seventeen-year-old senior knight, a genius, has finally emerged among the descendants of Wushan Castle.
Lulans was happy about this.
However, he felt unhappy when he thought that he, as a grandfather, had just found out now, like everyone else.
"How is Roning now?" Lu Lans asked.
"After Galil sent them back to the castle, the young master left to rest, using the excuse of feeling dizzy."
Most replied: "He should be asleep by now."
"He needs a good rest because he has used a lot of mental energy. Don't let him attend the banquet tonight. This will save him some energy, and he won't have to attend social events."
Lu Lansi turned and asked, "Where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Her Royal Highness is fine, but I have already had someone prepare some soothing soup and send it over. I guess she should be resting now."
Although the incident was dangerous, the two key people were unharmed, which is a blessing in disguise.
"What did Count Jesus and Deputy Captain Broll of the Griffin Knights do?" asked Rulans.
"They are very angry and are discussing this matter fiercely with Lord Wiggins, Earl Orson, Viscount Marvin, and other nobles at Wushan Fortress."
Moster answered with some seriousness and distress.
"Especially Her Royal Highness' uncle, Count Jesus, who believes that this assassination is a provocation to the royal family of Alduin, and he requires Wushanbao to give a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible."
"An explanation must be given."
Lu Lan Si stroked the top of his cane, then supported himself and stood up. "In the final analysis, this matter is due to our inconsideration. We frightened Her Royal Highness the Princess. We should apologize and take responsibility."
As he spoke, he walked towards Wushan Fortress.
Neither Wiggins, Orson, nor any other nobles could represent Wushan Castle. Only he could do it.
But the question that Lulans thought about most was not where the assassin came from or who ordered him.
The person he was always thinking about was Roning.
"Most, how did Luo Ning practice? Why didn't we discover that he had awakened his Dou Qi seed before?"
If someone said that Roning had only activated his Dou Qi seed in August and already possessed advanced strength in December, he would never believe it.
Lu Lansi has traveled across the continent for decades and has never heard of anyone who can become a high-level knight from an ordinary person in just five months.
Therefore, the only possible explanation is that this kid, Roning, awakened very early, but they didn't discover it.
According to the general speculation on the time of cultivation, this awakening time was most likely three or four years ago, when Luo Ning was thirteen or fourteen.
At this age of awakening, Ronin's talent is no less than Breton's.
If he had known that Luo Ning had such a talent, why would Lu Lans worry about it?
Most didn't know the answer to this question, so he could only make up an excuse: "Perhaps Master Luo Ning was more playful at that time and didn't want others to know his strength?"
Lu Lans shook his head. This statement was too absurd.
But he couldn't think of any other more reasonable explanation.
At the same time, Roning was lying on the bed resting.
What kept appearing in his mind was the golden knight Mundo, who leaped in front of him. Who on earth was behind this kind of person?
If the assassin's primary target was him, Ronin could guess that the person behind the scenes was someone like Lei Sen or Count Orson.
However, the other party's primary target was not him but Princess Blanche.
There are many possible identities of the mastermind behind the assassination of a princess. After all, she is a royal princess, so this identity is very complicated.
Some too many people want to use the killing of Blanche to cause a conflict between the royal family and the Wushan Territory or even cause more bloodshed.
Among them could be forces from the Kingdom of Tricia or some big families, nobles, or even royal family members in the Kingdom of Alduin.
Is it not possible that it was Count Jesus who came uninvited and was venting his anger on Wushan Castle?
There is.
How could Moonlight Valley satisfy the appetite of a royal earl?
He should have had a larger territory and population and become a Grand Duke like Ferrens.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Tom knocked on the door, "Sir, Princess Blanche wants to see you."
