Chapter 0484: Martial Arts Competition
Just as Count Heslett was thinking hard about how to get through the current difficulty, a certain Rowling nobleman behind him suddenly said in a deep voice: "Lord Earl, duel, only blood can wash away your shame." ”
When Count Heslett heard these two words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and this was indeed the best way to solve the problem.
When the nobles encountered irreconcilable contradictions, they often resorted to duels to solve the problem.
However, this thought only appeared for a moment, and he hesitated: "I heard that the other party has the strength of a quasi-epic martial artist. ”
The nobleman who spoke earlier sneered: "That's because he has taken some kind of potion that stimulates his potential, which is extremely harmful to his body, as long as we say in advance that we are not allowed to use the potion, then Lord Earl, you will definitely win." ”
Hearing this, Count Heslett's face turned blue and white, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, showing a fierce psychological struggle.
Seeing the two whispering, Renard couldn't help but be a little curious, and listened carefully, but only heard a few words, such as: face, potions, duels, and so on.
After just two minutes, Count Heslett finally relented and decided to propose a duel to Lei Ye.
After all, he is the face of Queen Rosa, one of the nominal husbands, and since he has been humiliated in a foreign country, he must find a place to go.
If he is humiliated and does not redeem it, it will be a very serious blow to his personal prestige.
Moreover, his son is Prince Rowling, the future heir to the throne, he lost face and was young, if his son was implicated in this matter and missed the throne, then he would probably die and could not redeem himself.
It doesn't seem like a bad idea to erase this humiliation with a duel.
Thinking about this, the killing intent in Count Heslet's heart skyrocketed infinitely, and he shouted: "I want to duel with you!"
Reynard was stunned, and so were all the nobles present.
The Marquis of Quentin frowned slightly and asked, "Duel, with whom is the Earl of Heslett going to duel?"
Hearing this, the mood that Count Heslett had finally brewed suddenly fell, he gritted his teeth and pointed at Renard: "I want to duel with him." ”
Marquis Quentin nodded thoughtfully, and then sneered: "Why?"
The Earl of Heslett clenched his fists and worked hard
With a righteous and stern expression: "He has done something on the sword, otherwise this nameless broken sword will not cut the sword of the wind at all, this is Chi Guoguo's deception, I will prove that he is a liar." ”
Okay! Everyone understands that this guy is probably going to resist to the end.
Renard couldn't help but sneer, "Are you sure you want to duel me?
Earl Heslett hesitated again when he heard this, he had naturally heard of Lei Ye's proud achievements, even if someone explained that it was because of taking medicine, he didn't dare to take it all as facts.
If taking the potion can make its strength reach the quasi-epic martial artist realm, then its own martial arts realm may not be too low.
He swallowed, his confidence gradually weakened, he opened his mouth, and finally said something that made him laugh: "Well, this is not a duel, but a friendly competition." ”
Count Heslet's idea is very simple, even if he can't beat the other party, he will not have to worry about his life, if he beats the other party, he can save some face and show his mercy at the same time.
After making the decision, his heart gradually became calm, and his calm and elegant posture was once again revealed.
Count Heslett walked up to Renard, and the two stood two meters apart, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, would you like to accept this contest?"
He deliberately changed the duel to a joust, thus changing the nature of the two's hands-on.
In the case of a duel, it is normal for both sides of the duel to be killed or injured, and if it is just a competition, then the two sides must not be killed.
Count Heslett had left a way out for himself, and for him, his life was much more important than face.
Renard naturally knew his thoughts, in fact, he didn't want to have a fight with the Rowling Kingdom now, so he lightly bowed his head and expressed his willingness: "I accept." ”
When Earl Heslet heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party was unwilling to accept it, he really didn't know how to end it.
Seeing that there was a competition to watch, many nobles became excited again.
The Marquis Quentin shook his head and smiled, his birthday banquet was really lively.
The Marquis of Sidney had been watching coldly since the two of them faced each other, and when he saw them asking for a contest, he gave a vague look to the Marquis Quentin
, and then lightly gestured with his fingers to the neck to decapitate.
Seeing this, Marquis Quentin's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his head lightly, signaling him with his eyes not to be impulsive.
Then he leaned into the ear of the Marquis de Sidney and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to break the net with the Count Meredith, you must not do this." ”
The Marquis of Sidney frowned when he heard this: "Are you scared? Or do you have something else in mind?"
Marquis Quentin said angrily, "What can I think, don't forget, this is my birthday party, and if something happens to Governor Renard here, I have an unshirkable responsibility." ”
"I want to know what you have in mind, when the Earls of Meredith will settle this account on the heads of our Cronin family, and your Clayton family wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
When the Marquis of Sidney heard this, his expression stiffened a little.
In fact, he really had this thought just now: "I didn't think about it that way, I just think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can put the blame on the Rowling Kingdom." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Marquentin's mouth curled with sarcasm: "Do you think the people in the county of Meredith are stupid, or does your IQ get lower with age?"
Without waiting for the Marquis of Sidney to attack, he quickly added: "We two epic warriors are here, and we can't protect Governor Renard under the legendary warriors, I'm afraid the idiots will know that we did it on purpose." ”
"So, it's better not to have any crooked thoughts, otherwise it will be a complete war with the Earldom of Meredith, and if the other party puts the blame on the Cronin family, I will definitely pull your Clayton family into the water. ”
"The Cronin family is nothing, after all, Hailan Province is far away in the north of the kingdom, and you Clayton family are probably going to be caught in the middle and get angry. ”
Listening to Marquis Quentin's half-dangerous analysis, Marquis Sidney finally gave up his plan to play petty.
There is a good chance that what the other party said will come true, and when the county of Meredith swoops down on Kale County and breaks the net with their Creighton family, I am afraid that this old guy in front of him will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
As the saying goes: there are only eternal interests, no eternal allies.
The two are just a partnership, and if it's profitable, they certainly won't mind stepping on each other's feet.
