7 KINGDOMS: conquest
54.Ice skating

The party lasted for an entire day, and in the evening a luxurious inn had been rented for them, of course with strict security.

50 Level 100 warriors guarded the inn, this took them by surprise. Why could this small and poor region have such a strong warrior?

"Well, let them now..." Noran could imagine they were staring in disbelief.

Noran could also send Sin and the others if it was still lacking, however it was more than enough.

In the morning, Noran made a pair of skating shoes and put them on leather shoes.

Luckily there is a river near the city of Turin, besides the river has also frozen up to several centimeters thick.

"I want to be themain ice skating a long time ago." murmured Noran.

Noran then walked towards the river and wore it by the river.

"Alright, let's try it." murmured Noran.

Noran began to stand up, but it was too difficult, in the first experiment Noran fell and sprawled.

Buucca...

"It's quite difficult." murmured Noran.

Noran tried several times, after many times finally Noran managed to stand up.

Slowly, he walked and glided, he darted and began to increase his speed, until finally he became proficient.

Sin and Toun, who were walking around, saw Noran skating on the frozen river.

"What did you do?" ask Sin.

"So, that looks fun" Toun said.

The two immediately approached Noran and greeted him.

"Sir, what are you doing?" ask both.

Noran slid towards the two and stopped.

"I'm playing ice skating" Noran said.

"Ice's skating? What'sthat?" ask both.

"You are free to slide on the ice and move as you like, you can even do beautiful movements" said Noran.

"It seems fun." said the two.

There were still 4 other shoes in his storage, Noran gave both of them one each.

"Would it be nice to take Esline and Alice, what about Reyn and Serena?" thought Noran.

It would be less, Noran decided to buy some animal skins and make more shoes, 10 rather small shoes for Esline and the others, he said, and 10 adult shoes for Duke Aaron and the others.

Noran had said it would make the festival fun, he would let everyone be happy.

"Let them order by themselves" Noran said with a smile.

Noran returned to the mansion, meeting the two girls who were drinking tea quietly.

"Esline, Alice" said Noran.

"What's up?" Esline felt strange about this kind of Noran.

"Come out, there's something interesting" Noran said.

"What's that?" both are curious.

"Follow me, and you, tell the others to follow into the river" Noran said.

"well sir." replied a servant.

The three immediately left the mansion and ran towards the river, seen Sin and Toun glide and race to the other end of the river.

"I won't lose!"

"Speed is my forte."

"What's that?" the two were blown away when they saw Sin and Toun being able to dart quickly on the ice.

"That's ice skating, do you want to try it?" ask Noran.

The two nodded excitedly, Noran took out two small shoes and gave them.

Slowly the two of them descended upon the ice sheet, starting to stand up, it was more difficult than they thought.

"Why are those two so good?" said Esline.

"Don't mind them, let me help you" Noran said.

Noran guided her slowly, until Esline became proficient enough to glide on his own.

After which, Alice pulled the corner of Noran's clothes and asked him to help as well, Noran did not mind and helped him.

After a while, they glide along and have fun exploring the frozen river.

" hey, why don't you take us?" reyn.

beside her was also Serena, she looked annoyed looking at Esline and Alice having fun.

"i forgot." said Noran.

Everything was worn by the nobles, they also tried to slide and started playing around.

"Oh~a good game" Duke Aaron said.

"It looks quite pleasant" said Duke Emirr.

"Son, give us one" Duke Cloris said.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything else" Noran said.

"What?!" he approached Noran.

They shocked Noran and took a few steps back.

"You're scaring me!" noran muttered.

Noran went to two stores, a blacksmithing shop and a clothing store, and he made a deal with both of them to produce skating shoes.

"Hows it? 10%?" ask Noran.

"Yes! 10%!" the clothing store owner.

"Agreed!" owner of blacksmithing.

More nobles and townspeople came to buy skating shoes, orders skyrocketed within a day.

"Haha! A profitable business!" say both while smiling.

Never both of them thought that their ruler would have such an attractive business view.

"Our region will prosper!" said the clothing store owner.

"I agree." said the owner of the blacksmithing.

Noran returned to the river and found the two were currently having a good time.

"Hey! Move over!"

"You're the one who's out!"

Two young men are seen getting into a fight, both preparing to start a fight with magic.

"It's not good." murmured Noran.

Noran came up to the two and stood beside them.

"What's going on?" ask Noran.

"He hit me!"

"Liar! you hit me!"

"I'll burn you!"

"Who's afraid?! I'll cut you out first."

Noran felt his head twitch, they were nobles but their temperament was so bad.

"Are they spoiled like that kid?" thought Noran.

(note: just a reminder, Noran refers to Leon, the son of Duke Russell)

"If you really want to fight, then finish this with the competition" Noran said.

"Competition?" both were surprised.

"Yes, a competition. Because it's winter, we're going to have a hockey competition" Noran said.

"What is a hockey?" ask both.

Noran then explained what hockey was, and began explaining the rules, the number of players and how to play it.

While explaining, Noran also made enough Hockey sticks and safety helmets for two teams.

"If there is a color it will be better." murmured Noran.

"Do you understand?" ask Noran.

"Yes, we understand." said the two.

"Now, find your team and bring it here immediately" Noran said.

Noran darted away and picked up some spears stored in the warehouse, plugging them into a simple wicket, corresponding to the height and width of the Hockey's wicket.

Now, there were 2 teams standing in front of him, Noran then gave them the necessary equipment.

The field had been etched on top of the river simply, around thousands of people consisting of nobles and townspeople gathered watching.

Noran put down a pin of iron, it was a hockey ball. Noran put it in the middle and stood as the referee.

"Hockey Match, start!" shouted Noran.
