The tense atmosphere in Wushan Fortress was dispersed with the arrival of Princess Blanche.

As a person who witnessed this incident firsthand and a key figure in the defense of Broer and Jesus, her words determine the direction of the whole incident.

As long as she wanted, she could hold Wushanbao responsible, causing huge trouble for Lulansi and others;

At the same time, as long as she said a word for Wushanbao, this matter could be resolved very easily.

In fact, her position was made clear in the first sentence she said when she entered the fortress. This matter had no direct relationship with Wushan Fort.

Not only that, she also praised Wushanbao's handling speed, and expressed high praise for Luo Ning's fearlessness in the face of danger.

Although the princess did not pursue the matter, Lu Lan Si still apologized for his poor consideration in the itinerary and expressed his gratitude to Her Royal Highness for her generosity.

A dispute ended in such an atmosphere of communication.

Of course, what needs to be investigated still needs to be investigated. This matter cannot be ended so easily. Now it depends on the result from Captain Toru's side.

night.

When night falls, Wushan Fort welcomes the moment of celebration.

In the luxurious hall, the golden murals sparkle under the lights, reflecting a luxurious and solemn atmosphere.

The air is filled with a faint scent of incense, which interweaves with the music played by professional pianists and musicians to form a magnificent piece of music.

The nobles, dressed in various exquisite dresses, moved among the crowd, enjoying the lively atmosphere brought by the banquet under the service of those well-dressed waiters.

The dinner arranged by Wushanbao for Her Royal Highness the Princess was neither cancelled nor postponed.

No one, including the host of the dinner, Princess Blanche, showed any abnormal behavior, as if the assassination that took place during the day had never happened.

Roning did not attend the banquet. According to Lu Lans' instructions, he was lying on the bed, recuperating and listening to McKen's report.

After the Knights of Wushanbao took over the Colosseum in the afternoon, Toru led his men to conduct a detailed interrogation and investigation of all the staff of the Colosseum and the audience who came to watch today.

However, no valuable intelligence was obtained.

First of all, all the assassins involved in this incident died, except for the golden knight who escaped successfully.

Even the assassins of the Skull and Bones Society would have the society's symbol on their bodies, but this time Toru did not find any valuable clues from the bodies or clothes of these assassins.

As for the identities of these people, they are registered, but anyone can enter the Colosseum as long as they can pay, so it is impossible to expect it to establish a strict real-name system.

"The most important thing is the gladiator-turned-Mundo."

Luo Ning put forward his own idea, "Have you started the investigation from this person?"

Mikan nodded, but then shook his head.

"According to the records of the Colosseum, this Mondo gladiator appeared in the Wushan City Colosseum a year ago. He has won many games so far. Many viewers have an impression of this gladiator."

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. The other party was here more than a year ago?

At that time, his previous incarnation was still alive, and Lulans had no idea of ​​marriage. It was impossible for the other party to foresee that Princess Blanche would come to the Colosseum in Wushan City.

Luo Ning thought of a possibility.

That is, Mondo was originally an assassin who was lurking in Wushan City as a gladiator. His purpose here was to wait for the right opportunity to assassinate a certain person, and this person was not Blanche.

However, due to Blanche's sudden visit, the other party's goal was changed.

"How did he join the Colosseum?" Roning asked.

If we can find clues about relationships such as introducers, then we can investigate.

"According to the Colosseum manager, Mondo was a down-and-out knight. He heard that he could earn a lot of money just by performing a show in the Colosseum, so he signed up."

McCann replied: "In order to enter the Colosseum, Mondo bribed the auditor and was willing to give 10% of his income to the other party for free, so he became a gladiator."

This is like a rootless duckweed. No matter how hard you try to investigate the surface, it will be impossible to find the root if the bottom is gone.

Roning pondered for a while, then asked, "I heard from Blanche that this type of green-skinned troll is not common in the Wushan Monster Mountain Range, but is more common in the Misty Mountains. Has Toru investigated where the green-skinned trolls were transported from?"

Although the distance from Wushanbao to Misty Mountains is shorter than the distance to Shanlin Town, it costs a lot to transport a level 3 monster from there.

Wushan City Colosseum is ultimately a commercial activity, and as long as it is a business, it must pursue profits.

Knowing that it would cost a huge price, they insisted on transporting the green-skinned trolls here. Is there some other purpose? McCann was stunned and shook his head, saying, "I don't think I have checked this."

Luo Ning said quickly: "Then go inform Toru and ask him to investigate from this angle to see if there will be any gains."

"Yes, sir!"

McCann obeyed the order and walked out immediately.

Luo Ning couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. It would be too embarrassing if the assassination was over and nothing was found.

No matter how biased Blanche is, it would be reasonable for Wushanbao to give an explanation anyway.

"Are we going to let the auditor of the Colosseum take the blame in the end?"

While he was in distress, an unexpected figure appeared in the room.

Luo Ning looked up and saw Lu Lans standing in front of the bed.

"Um?"

He looked towards the door in surprise, puzzled that Tom had not informed him.

Tom spread his hands, looking helpless. It was not that he didn't want to report it, but Lulans signaled him not to move.

"I thought you were asleep."

Lu Lansi pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed. “If you consume too much mental energy, your head will hurt badly. How do you feel now?”

Luo Ning didn't expect that the old man would come over specially to ask about his situation.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I slept for two hours this afternoon and now I feel well recovered."

Luo Ning smiled and asked, "How was the banquet tonight?"

"It was very grand and lively, and Princess Blanche got the reception she deserved."

Lu Lansi tightened the scarf around his neck and sighed faintly, "It's a pity that this banquet is still missing a protagonist."

Luo Ning's heart skipped a beat. "Oh? Who is it?"

Lu Lan Si smiled and said, "Of course it's the brave knight who saved Her Royal Highness the Princess and killed two high-ranking knight assassins single-handedly."

At this point, he looked directly into Ronin's eyes, "My grandson, Ronin Wushan."

Luo Ning smiled awkwardly but politely, "Grandpa, what people say is too exaggerated. It's not that easy for me to kill two people."

"That's not what I said."

Lu Lansi emphasized: "This is what Her Royal Highness the Princess, who witnessed everything, said."

Ronington felt helpless. He was so focused on getting the other party to conceal the fact that he was a magician that he forgot to mention the battle.

"Tell me, kid, what is your current strength?"

"Advanced peak?"

Lu Lans shook his head, "Not likely."
