Chapter 34 - duel
The duel originated in the age of the oldest holy Auckland empire. In that era of unsound laws, if the dispute between the two parties could not be resolved reasonably, they would agree on the time, place, and witnesses, using the most primitive and uninteresting way of human beings-brute force.
After many years of development, this brutal act of duel has been endowed with a lot of sacred meanings, and it was even regarded as a noble act embodying courage and courage in the end, and became the privilege of nobles.
You are not mistaken, whether it is on the ground or underground, people in the Gaborian world really regard this as an activity that only nobles can participate in.
The warriors of the world on the ground use war horses, lances and swords to duel; and in the kingdom of the sky, Nadia Federation, magicians will naturally use magical duels.
There are three ways to terminate a duel: one side admits defeat; one side loses combat ability or dies; or both sides hang up if they both die together.
After four o’clock in the afternoon on July 18th, Lu Xi’s horse-drawn carriage left the main island of Eliashar, slowly crossed the Talong Bridge, and reached the wilderness beside the East Island Lake. At this time, his duel opponent Duid Veranbart had been waiting for nearly three hours.
Came so late because after the exam, Lu Xi took Lime to eat at the Lebit restaurant that he visited last time, and Quan Dang celebrated the end of his exam. After lunch, the two went around the city again, and had a afternoon tea at the roadside cafe, which shook them steadily.
Actually, his face is not thick enough. If he is replaced by someone else, he should at least rub it until the sun is going down.
“Why come so late !?” Duid yelled angrily when he saw Lu Xi walking down the carriage leisurely.
Standing next to him was a man dressed very well, looking calm and calm. He was gentle and gentle. He looked at Landing and nodded. “My Excellency Belencaster, I also hope you can Explain the reason. Be aware that if you are late for no reason, the witness can judge you to admit defeat. “
“you are?”
“My name is Paulus de Casanier, Federal Representative. Well, it was a witness invited by His Excellency Villanbat.”
He landed to the duel field, in addition to Primula, there was a coachman and a deacon named Furtu hired by Russell. Seeing that Lu Xi was a little confused, Furtu hurried to Lu Xi’s ear and quickly introduced the man named “Paulus de Casanier”.
This Paulus is a very famous poet of Elias, although he is not a magician, but his family has a high status in business, coupled with his appeal in the cultural world, finally there is a member of parliament. Position. Of course, in the aristocratic circle of the capital, because of his fairness and nosy nature, he has made many friends, and many people like to drag him to be a duel witness. Gradually, this person has a very loud reputation and status in the dueling world.
Hey, why is there a “world” in the duel?
After listening to Furtu’s introduction, Lu Xi just sneered and said: “Frankly speaking, isn’t it just a sour literary who is too busy to be hurt.”
“When am I late?” Lu Xi tilted his head and looked at Duyid’s eyes like he was looking at a fool.
“We have been waiting here for a full three hours!” The other party shouted.
“Don’t forget, I said duel in the afternoon, but I didn’t say what time in the afternoon. As long as the sun didn’t set, I wouldn’t be late.”
“You …” Duyd glared and thought for a moment. It seemed that this was really the case, and he was speechless. The poet Paulus at the side glanced at the other, and he was somewhat dissatisfied.
Dragged me over without asking clearly, really thought the time of the literati was not time?
Paulus coughed artificially, as if to hide his embarrassment. He looked at both sides, and then solemnly said: “Then, Lord Belencaster, if your witnesses are also here, the duel can begin.”
“I didn’t bring a witness, so I beg you.”
“Ah? But I am also a witness invited by His Excellency Willambat.”
“It does not matter, are you not a celebrity in the duel world? I believe in your professional ethics.”
Paulus did not seem to hear the sarcasm of the other party, and his tone was inexplicably more excited and admired: “Please rest assured, I will never be partial to either side. Then, let me announce the content of the duel . “
“According to Lord Duid ’s request, the participants must be Lord Lucy Berencaster and Lord Duid Vilambat. At the same time, either party must participate in the war alone, and no slaves, summoning spirits and alchemy are allowed. Puppets are not in this category. Do you have any questions about this? “
It seems that the seaweed head was shadowed by Lim.
Lu Xi stared at the other person’s face carefully, and really felt that the bridge of his nose had collapsed a lot compared to the last time he saw, and suddenly gave a bad laugh, making the other party violently laugh.
“There is no doubt.” Lu Xi said with a smile.
“No!” Duid gritted his teeth.
“So,” Paulus stepped back a dozen steps in a row, leaving a safe space and shouting: “I declare: the duel begins!”
As soon as the words fell, Duid raised his staff, and the magic book floated without wind, spreading out in front of him. His staff is made of unknown metal, with a gorgeous silver glow above it, and a fuchsia, fist-sized crystal ball on the top, with a magical atmosphere flowing inside. At a glance, you know that it is not ordinary.
As a spell flashed through his mind, a hexahedral constellation was constantly floating at his feet.
The constellation constantly released bursts of dazzling red light that people could not directly look at. After that ray, a huge black shadow appeared looming and slowly formed. The red light and the magic circle gradually dissipated, but a snake-like elf that raised its head and feet more than two meters high and completely condensed with flames appeared. The fire snake swayed the burning body, the snake apricot condensed by the flame protruded out, and actually made a low hissing sound similar to that before the reptile predator hunting.
“Let you have a good look, this is the fire control trick” Sharoman Snake “, let me be strange ashes!”
The so-called Saloman snake is one of the elements of fire, which is the legendary elemental spirit. The magicians who have mastered the summoning magic can often use the magic power to manifest the elemental elves in reality, making them a powerful fighting force. A Sharoman snake can continuously fire fireballs and burn light like a machine gun, and can attack the other party with a purely fire-condensed body. On the battlefield, it can wipe out an elite army of hundreds of people.
The summoning and condensation of the Sharoman snake is completely supported by the magician’s magic power. The highest record currently known in the world occurred during the Qiming War. At that time, Ramheed, one of the Six Devil Gods, with the endless magic power given to him by the lava sea, summoned more than 500 Saloman snakes at once, and burned the Iron Fist fortress and its fire with that boiling **** fire. Seventy thousand troops within.
The power of the Sharoman snake has since become famous in one battle.
The gap between the seaweed head and the king of disaster is about as large as the small stones on the beach and the Haoyue above nine days; however, he can summon the Sharoman snake when he is less than 30 years old. , But it is enough to be highly praised by Arantis.
Compared with seaweed head, Lu Xi’s momentum is much smaller. He pinched a fingerprint and read a few short mantras, and the crowd saw the earth suddenly jump up, forming a silly clay puppet.
Lu Xi ’s Alpha 3 amulet has six gem-set holes, which means he can install six magic figures on it. He naturally took the clay puppet that accompanied his success with the bandits.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, such a move as Lu Xi made people laugh, and the crowd watching the battle even gave a burst of laughter. Clay puppet, this kind of big cargo with a fighting strength at most a bit stronger than a skeleton soldier, if you want to fight it against the Sharoman snake, it is as if you want to fight a kitten against a crocodile.
“This is your own death! No wonder I am!”
The Sharoman snake swayed at the call of the summoner, opened his mouth, and rushed towards the stupid puppet.
The puppet of the earth was still foolishly standing on the spot, as if frightened by the giant fire snake. At the moment when the flaming snake head was about to engulf the puppet, the Charoman snake seemed to feel something, and suddenly struggled to twist the burning body and pounced in the direction of the owner Duid.
I don’t know when Lu Xi has rushed in front of Duid, the Mithril Sword in his hand slipped out of the sheath, and thrust into the opponent’s chest.
Duyd was taken aback, the staff was lifted, a magic shield appeared at the moment of a thousand shots, but soon it shattered before the indestructible sword. However, his response was also quick, and this short time also caused him to release a wind wheel, slipping back a few steps by the wind, which avoided Lu Xi’s second blow.
The psychic Sharoman snake felt the danger of the owner, and gave up the attack on the prey in the first time, and quickly returned to the division to rescue.
Lu Xi jumped back a few steps, avoiding the fire snake that had returned to bite a few times, and stood aside.
Salorman snake did not continue to attack, it hovered beside Duid, almost protecting the other party in the fire circle formed by the body. The startled seaweed head returned to a little calm, and shouted loudly at the landing: “When did you come?!”
“Of course it was when you directed the Sharoman snake to attack my puppet.”
“Vile!”
“Despicable? Are you a fool? This is a duel of life and death, that is, the battlefield. Why should I prepare the enemy for the time to finish the big move? Alas, so to say, these prestigious dogs of noble descent, at first glance, are no good I ’ve seen the world, not even fights. Obviously it ’s a silver, in fact, it ’s good to be able to show the strength of bronze. “
“Gah!” Although I don’t know what “silver” and “bronze” mean, it’s definitely not a good word. Duid couldn’t help biting his mouth. He looked at Landing Hope with murderous eyes, full of anger and hatred, and seemed to intend to kill the other with his eyes.
“Sharaman snake, burn him to death!”
The ordered fire snake opened his mouth, and seven or eight fireballs in a row blasted over like a cannon, continuously creating explosions on the ground. In such boiling waves and storms, Lu Xi easily split the attack of the Saloman snake while continuously shortening the distance between himself and Duyd.
“No, it’s impossible!” Duyd dumbfounded, murmured and repeated.
“It’s impossible. Although the Sharoman snake is powerful, it’s you who summoned it after all, it’s up to you to decide how to attack. The so-called owner has all the pets, and all your attack intentions It’s all written on your silly face with oily noodles, which can’t be avoided, it can only show that I’m even more stupid than you. If there are such seven or eight attacks together, forming a fire net, maybe I can’t really get it. Unfortunately, there is only one now. “
“Damn it! I am a magnificent two-star wizard, and you are just a magic apprentice, how could I lose to you!”
Duyd roared loudly, his staff with his right hand pointed in front of him, and the ground suddenly raised a wall of fire that was more than one person tall.
“Fire wall technique? Really, not on the battlefield, I won’t go around.”
The so-called fire wall technique is actually more used on the battlefield. Jointly casting spells by hundreds or even thousands of magicians can even create effects similar to the Great Wall of Fire. When attacking, you can effectively divide and surround the enemy. When defending, you can also use it to cut off. It is extremely effective in the crowded battlefield.
But in a duel …
As Lu Xi said, such a big place, such a narrow wall, won’t it go around?
However, when Lu Xi had just exposed his head from the other side of the fire wall, the electric arc condensed from Duid’s left hand had been severely split.
“Boom!” The arc hit Lu Xi accurately, and the explosion created wrapped him all in.
“Haha! Hit! I won!” Duid shouted gleefully.
“Who said you hit it?” Lu Xi’s voice came from behind him.
“You !?” Duyd looked back in shock, seeing Lu Xi standing behind him less than half a meter, “You, you, I hit you! Why do you …”
“That’s just an illusion technique. This level of deception tricks you over, and there is really no sense of accomplishment.”
“Damn it! Eat me this trick!” Duid picked up the staff and seemed to be preparing to release a magic, but Lu Xi looted before him, staring at his eyes and making a sharp voice.
“Drink!” That is the most commonly used coercion in mind magic.
According to Orusello, magicians are extremely powerful men, and their resistance to spiritual magic is also very powerful. Under normal circumstances, with Lu Xi’s attainment of coercion now, he may be directly frightened by a lion trembling, but he cannot even effectively affect a senior student in a magical academy.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
The so-called exception is when the magician’s attention is completely diverted and there is no protection for his soul. In actual combat training with Orusello, did Lu Xi himself take this exceptional loss several times?
So, Lu Xi watched Duyd with his head in satisfaction, and fell down on the ground with his buttocks. The nearby Saloman snake lost its magical support and fell apart like a gorgeous crystal.
“Why, why are you this guy, I am obviously a high-level student of the Central Academy of Magic, an elite who has risen to the stars at the age of 25, why is an area of magic apprentice ……”
“… Since you got the qualification of a magician, you must have never actually battled it?”
“Nonsense! I am doing practical training with the best arcanists every day, I…”
“No, I mean: real actual combat. That is the battlefield!”
“Uh, I’m a civilian official, ah! No, have you ever been an apprentice?”
“That’s not true, but don’t forget that I practiced with me every day, but the world’s top magic master, the great existence known as the ‘king of Austrian law’! Two-star magician? Too It’s ridiculous. Your star position is just your magic, knowledge and mastery of spells, which does not represent your strength. And I, Lu Xi Berencaster, is Olusello Bay The disciples of Rencaster, the incomprehensible depth of the colorful rose, are you understandable by the noble family of your noble family? “
“…” Duid looked at Lu Xi, who was high above his face with a smug smile, for the first time a flash of fear flashed in his eyes.
“Okay, you lose. Obey surrender. I won’t kill you.”
Duid gritted his teeth, but the fear in his eyes gradually became dignified and determined.
“You killed me. There is no surrender of the Vilambat family, and the family’s honor for 1,500 years cannot be buried because of my cowardice!”
“Oh?” Lu Xi looked at this seaweed head that didn’t know why it suddenly burned, and there was a sudden surprise: “Don’t regret it. You are still young, life has just begun, don’t lose your life due to impulse … … “
This should be your youngest. The watching crowd thought together.
“That’s really troublesome. You don’t want to surrender, and I don’t want to kill because of playing.”
“Play?”
“Yeah, it’s just playing, which is equivalent to the adjustment after my exam. However, I have a lot of fun and I want to thank you very much.”
“Asshole, what do you think of the sacred duel contract !?”
Lu Xi ignored the cry of the loser ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ He tilted his head and seemed to be thinking seriously. After a while, I finally clapped my palms, it seems that I had an idea.
“You just wanted to call me.”
“Well, unfortunately only one illusion was hit, otherwise …”
“Well, let me take a look at what an electric shock is. Use your body, okay, okay, experience it, oh huh huh huh ~~” While giving out such a wicked laugh, Lu Xi grabbed in one hand Lived Duid’s wrist.
“What do you want to do … eh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ……”
The blue arc lay from Lu Xi’s palm, and then spread along Duid’s wrist to his body. In the first few seconds, he was still able to make some weird cries, but soon he could only continue to twitch along the beat of the electric wave, and soon, foam appeared in the corner of his mouth.
Half a minute later, Lu Xi kicked away Duide, who was still shaking like an immortal frog, clapped his hands, and walked to Primula. At this time, the crowd watching the battle has been silent.
“Get the job done, Lim, what do we eat at night?”
“……do not know.”
“It doesn’t matter, we’ll find it slowly.”
When the young girl walked into the carriage, Lu Xi heard the noise and applause from behind.
“Master, please cheer up a little … Therapist, go and call therapist!” This is the servant brought by Duid.
“I declare: This duel was won by His Excellency Lucy Berencaster!” This is the voice of the witness, Paulus.
