"What are you doing here …"
Looking at Aurelia, Tang En was speechless.
Is the royal family of Irus so free? It's such an important festival, yet they let the princess run around outside and participate in a variety show?
"I'm very interested in this event organized by Lord Tang En."
Aurelia sat elegantly in the contestant's seat. When the contestants in the same batch as her saw that the princess was also here, they all felt uneasy and did not dare to sit down.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just an ordinary contestant today."
Aurelia smiled and comforted the other contestants. She said humorously, "Everyone knows that my father is poor, so I have to find a way to support the family."
Thanks to Alleria's active participation in various charity events, her amiable appearance was very effective in calming down the crowd. At least the nervous contestants had relaxed and were excited to compete on the same stage as the princess.
Karl and Marleen looked at Tang En. "My lord, the princess is here. Should we … restrain ourselves a little?"
"No need."
Aurelia looked at Tang En with a smile and said, "Since I'm here, I don't treat myself as a princess. Let's continue."
Tang En, who was being stared at by Aurelia, felt a chill run down his spine.
What the hell?
I don't think I've offended her, right?
Tang En muttered in his heart. It was the same before. He had always maintained his poise in front of her, but why did Princess Alleria always seem to have a conflict with him?
Could it be that her period had come?
No matter how bold Tang En was, it was impossible for him to guess that Aurelia and Aurelia were the same person. If it was Ye Ge who was humiliated by him, it would be strange if Aurelia still treated him nicely.
Aurelia smiled and said, "Let's begin."
Karl had no choice but to continue.
"Today, the second round of 'I'm the Big Winner' begins! In this round, we are fortunate to welcome a special guest — Princess Aurelia! Everyone, please give her a round of applause! "
Listening to the applause below, Tang En nodded in satisfaction. With the increase of his experience in the news industry, Carl was already able to quickly grasp important news and the key points that people were paying attention to. He would become a very good reporter and chief editor.
"Then, the first question."
Here it comes!
Alleria had a confident smile on her face. As long as she knew the rules of Twain's weird questions, it would not be difficult to figure out the answers without thinking about them in a normal way.
Karl took a deep breath and said with a smile, "A group of girls taking a bath by the river...... What do you think they want to cover?"
Alleria's confident smile froze on her face.
What??
Face?
Chest?
Or below?
No matter where it was, it was very important!
However …
"I know!"
Princess Aurelia pressed the button and said calmly, "Of course the face — as long as the face is covered, even if the body is exposed, no one will know who it is, right?"
"Huh?"
Tang En looked at Aurelia in a new light. In a sense, her reaction was fast enough, but …
"Unfortunately, Your Highness, you got it wrong. The countdown continues."
Wrong answer!?
How could it be!?
Aurelia froze there. Her mind was in a knot.
Where? What did they want to cover?
Aurelia suddenly realized the blind spot of her thinking. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and raised her right hand, "I know —"
"Time's up."
Karl smiled and looked at the row of contestants on the stage, "Unfortunately, no one answered correctly. So, do you choose to listen to the answer and give up the competition to win the participation prize, or do you choose to change the question?"
"We want to …"
"I want to hear the answer!"
Princess Aurelia stared at Karl, unconvinced, "Tell me the answer!"
In that case, whether it was covering the chest or the lower body, the benefits were not as big as covering the face. As long as others didn't know who was exposed, it didn't matter if they were seen. Anyway, reputation was the most important thing.
If this answer was wrong, then what was the right answer?
Since Aurelia spoke, the contestants next to her could only accept their fate and wait dejectedly for the answer.
"Well, then the answer to this question is — a man's eyes," Marlene read the answer.
If she didn't see the answer, even she wouldn't have thought of it. But after seeing the answer, she felt that the answer was very reasonable.
It said where the girl "wanted" to cover the most, but it didn't say whether they could cover it.
As long as the boy's eyes were covered, everything would be fine, right?
This answer was simply speechless!
Princess Aurelia held the participation prize in her hand — a plain bicycle — full of annoyance.
She originally thought that she could win, but who would have thought that Tang En, this bastard, didn't give her any special treatment at all!
He said that it was a participation prize, but it was really the same as the others!
Aurelia glanced at the other contestants next to her. They were holding the bicycles with a puzzled expression.
"Then, Baron Tang En, how do we use this thing?"
"It's my negligence. I should have prepared an instruction manual for you."
Tang En took another bicycle and came to Aurelia's side with a smile, "Everyone, let me show you how to use the bicycle. It's actually very simple and convenient. “
After waiting for the others to give way, Tang En got on his bicycle and pedaled hard, dashing out at lightning speed.
Seeing him freely controlling the direction and moving quickly with ease, the onlookers were excited.
"Although this bicycle is not as fast as a horse, it doesn't need to be fed with grass!"
"And you can go wherever you want. Even if you don't know how to ride a horse, you can still ride it!"
"Actually, the speed is not slow, right?"
"It looks at least much faster than walking!"
"The most important thing is, didn't you hear the price they just said? The price of a bicycle is only ten gold coins! It's much cheaper than the price of a horse! "
After seeing Tang En's demonstration, the few people who had won the participation prize were eager to ride the bicycles. The biggest advantage of adults learning to ride bicycles compared to children was that they were bold enough. Although they had never seen a bicycle before, after Tang En's demonstration, they immediately boldly rode it and tried it while swaying left and right.
After all, bicycles, to put it bluntly, were about dynamic balance. As long as one was bold enough to walk forward, they would be able to maintain their balance. Therefore, after a while, they mastered the trick and enjoyed the joy of riding a bicycle.
The surrounding people watched as they changed from strangers to familiars. After seeing how they had mastered riding a bicycle, they were all envious.
"I want to sign up for the next round of the competition!"
A voice suddenly broke the silence.
The surrounding audience was stunned for a moment before they suddenly came to a realization.
That's right! If you sign up now, as long as you are selected, you can get a bicycle for free!
In the next moment, almost everyone rushed to the registration point!
"Maintain order and line up! Anyone who disrupts the order will be disqualified! "
With a simple sentence, the chaos was once again restored to order. The long queue stretched from the registration point to the Plaza of Holy Light, and finally to the entrance of the Cathedral of Holy Light …
The priest with a smile on his face called out to the man in front of him, "May the light bless you, my friend. Please come here to receive the priest's treatment."
"Ah?"
The man who was called looked terrified, "Father, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to receive treatment. I'm here to join the event."
"Line up … to join the event?"
Looking at the long line, the priest's smile froze. What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
The same question existed in the minds of the other passersby.
During the Glorious Festival, the whole of Alinx was filled with celebrations. The circus, the opera house, and the arena were packed with people. Many places had queues, but it was the first time they had seen a queue like the one in the Plaza of Holy Light.
"My friend, what are you queuing up for? Are you here to receive the priest's treatment? "
"Of course not. I'm here to join the event organized by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. It's said that as long as you join, you can get a free prize."
"A free prize? Then I'll queue up and join too. "
Everyone had a herd mentality. Seeing so many people queuing up, more people would join in. As a result, the number of people in the queue increased, and it became more and more terrifying.
"My friend, what line is this?"
"I don't know. I saw everyone queuing up, so I joined in. Maybe it's a store holding a promotion?"
"My friend, why are you queuing up here?"
"Seeing such a long line, it must be something good. Who cares? Let's get in line first."
Later on, even some people who didn't know the truth inexplicably joined the queue, which caused the length of the queue to become even more terrifying.
Princess Alleria, who had been watching the entire process from the side of the event booth, subconsciously glanced at the smiling Twain.
This guy …
Did he already know this would happen?
Not only did he prepare to evacuate the crowd in advance, he even prepared the queue number … How could he be so confident that there would be so many people queuing up to join the event?
Aurelia frowned and looked down at the bicycle beside her.
Although Tang En had only given a simple demonstration, she could clearly feel what a tool like the bicycle brought to her.
A simpler and more convenient way to travel meant that the places and distances people could travel per unit of time would be greater, and social activities would be more frequent. In other words, the efficiency of traditional methods of information transmission would be increased by leaps and bounds, and economic activities would be affected accordingly.
An unstoppable trend had arrived.
And it was brought by this man.
