Papermaking technology is very advanced in this world, and the cost of making books is not high. Ronan also briefly browsed through the collection of books left by the previous owner in his manor.
Basically they are chronicles, biographies of historical celebrities and some encyclopedia books, with only a few books written by famous playwrights or philosophers.
But it’s not something interesting. The exaggerated script basically exalts one party and belittles the other. The philosophy is even more dizzying for those who watch it.
It's just a problem how to deal with piracy and malicious competitors. Maybe I can...
Watching the game on the field, listening to the gossip of the noble ladies behind him, such as what this knight is like, who he heard about this and that, and that knight pursued me before, etc., Ronan's eyes gradually lost focus and fell into
In deep contemplation.
The camera turned back to the competition venue. In order to prevent everyone from getting tired from watching the competition all the time, Marquis Yuri arranged a lot of intermission performances, and he would also send his subordinates to randomly distribute prizes, food, medicine, jewelry and even to the audience.
Simple and direct money. Without these little surprises every day, I am afraid that the citizens will soon become tired of the day after day games and will not come to watch every day.
After all, there are constant gladiatorial fights at the athletic conference, and there is no bloody fight to attract the audience, nor is there the star effect brought by elite gladiators. Yuri does not want no one to watch the competition he holds, so he can only use some small means to attract those who usually attend the competition.
Citizens who have nothing to do.
The vendors selling snacks and other things near the arena also took this opportunity to make a fortune. After all, the daily passenger flow is very large. Soon, the morning game will be over, and the afternoon game will start at two o'clock.
People have enough time to have lunch and even take a nap.
When he returned to his residence, Covington immediately went to prepare food, and some guards who knew a little bit about cooking also went over to help. Originally, Marquis Yuri specially arranged a chef for him, and even invited Daisy to dine at his mansion every day.
It wasn't far anyway, but Daisy didn't want to have to fake a smile for several hours every day, so she declined Marquis Yuri. However, Marquis Yuri would still send his attendants to deliver fresh ingredients every day.
The lunch was quite sumptuous. After all, everyone was very hungry, so Covington did not cook the time-consuming food. He fried a plate of Mushu pork that Ronan taught him, as well as some beans mixed with mashed potatoes, fried fish, and sausages.
, cream soup, and the staple food is bread and the same pimple soup taught to him by Ronan.
After lunch, Ronan took a nap. There was a Mario game in the afternoon, and Ronan was still ready to cheer up and cheer for Mario.
In the afternoon, the game started again. After two rounds, Mario finally came on the stage. Mario was wearing a silver-white armor with the emblem of the Silver Moon clan painted on it. It had a black background, a few stars, and a milky white curve.
The crescent moon is partially blocked by some clouds below.
Mario's opponent is a mercenary with some background. It is said that he is very active in the west of the kingdom. It is said that he fought several battles as a war mercenary in mainland Slovakia in the early years. After saving enough money, he returned to his hometown.
Formed his own mercenary group.
There are dozens of mercenaries under them, most of them are young men. Their main business is to escort caravans and help villagers in nearby villages drive away the wild beasts that damage the dealers. Their life is pretty good, but it is difficult to continue to develop.
This time he probably wants to compete for the championship and see if he can get a bonus. With this money, he can continue to develop the mercenary group or retire and go home to buy a piece of land and become a landlord.
Mario chose a long sword, while his opponent chose a long stick. After all, for those lower class people, they used spears much more than swords.
There is some truth to the saying that every inch is long and every inch is strong. Relying on the distance advantage, Mario was made very uncomfortable by the mercenary. He was forced to retreat several times when he tried to launch an attack.
The mercenary was worthy of being someone who had participated in several wars and successfully survived. He was very experienced. He used the long stick in his hand as a spear. He used the long stick in his hand to stab back and forth, making Mario very passive in dodging left and right.
In the end, Mario gritted his teeth and managed to close the distance despite being hit. As the distance got closer, the mercenary began to feel uncomfortable. The long stick's length advantage not only failed to be used, but also became an obstacle to him.
Mario swung his sword and slashed down. The mercenary tried to block it with his stick, but Mario blocked him with his body. The long stick hit Mario's side and failed to retract the long sword that blocked the slash. Mario struck hard with the sword. Hit the mercenary's helmet.
Although the sword was not sharpened and could not cut through the helmet and cause serious injuries, the shock caused by the blunt blow still made the mercenary dizzy. He had no time to react and dodge before being hit quickly by Mario a second time.
Hitting the head twice, Mario was the first to score six points and win. This mercenary was indeed difficult to deal with, but what he didn't expect was that enemies on the real battlefield would not fight to be stabbed by you and rush over to exchange lives with you. Because even a knight with full plate armor may be injured by a sharp spearhead piercing the armor.
But in this kind of game, you can completely exchange injuries for injuries. As long as you score six points first, you will win.
Both Mario and Ronan were successfully promoted. Next, Aldridge is the only one to watch. However, Ronan is not worried about him at all. The exhibitors are all young nobles, and the others are also some who have a certain reputation but are not among the top. There are many people who are very powerful, but they cannot be called the top experts in the world.
Even Ronan now, if he faced a sword dancer like Doroda Munro, who could rely on magic patterns to greatly enhance his combat ability, it was hard to say whether he would win or lose. Doroda Munro's speed after activating the magic patterns had exceeded The reaction speed of most people was limited. If Lasse had not faced the siege, Doroda Munro would have cut Lasse's throat when they met.
The next promotion round between Ronan and Mario will begin in three days. Unlike those other people who know the more famous people participating in the competition, and even start betting against each other, and fiercely discuss who is the favorite or the dark horse, Ronan Basically I don't know Nan, most of them have just met each other, and I specifically asked Mario about a few that impressed me.
However, Ronan still listened carefully to the analysis of other nobles around him, because they may all be Ronan's next opponents. It is always beneficial to know more about them, and Ronan had already beaten the handicap before. Win by yourself, and decide that in the future, as long as there is no match between yourself and Aldridge, then every time the two of them compete, they will win.
The person who opened the bet was a subordinate of Marquis Yuri. The bet was actually set up by Marquis Yuri, but he didn't come forward personally, but everyone knew it.
