Chapter 142: You Don't Dare
Ting Zuo took out a formal sword used by a female official from the fight, then this person team couldn't see that he had a dimensional space, and many magic guides on his body also quietly returned to the dimensional space.
Senior Mage Lear: "I said, I am the Lord of the Empire! I am the envoy of Count Lear! If you dare to shackle me with magic shackles, you are flouting the edicts of the Empire! The Marshal's Personal Guard and the Twelfth Legion are just outside the city, and the dignity of Count Lear is not to be desecrated!"
The senior mage sensed the indomitable momentum of the other party, and secretly scolded these civil lords for being crazy people, and valued honor more than anything else. In case something goes wrong with this little nobleman and Count Lear makes a strong move. In the end, it is likely that Barlow will take the bus out of him, a high-ranking mage, to calm things.
The senior mage was helpless with him, snorted coldly, and said, "Hand over your weapons, otherwise you can't enter the Grand Duke's Mansion!"
Lear raised his chin and threw out his formal sword, landing it accurately in front of the senior mage: "Count you sensible. β
Lear's style was so angry that these people's chests were suffocated, but now that the demon army was pressing, and Count Lear was stationed in the Twelfth Legion with the Marshal's personal guard, they could only hold back the anger in their hearts to avoid causing a bigger dispute.
So, under the angry gaze of Archduke Barlow's subordinates, Lear swaggered into the Grand Duke's mansion again.
Grasp the other party's bottom line and grasp the initiative.
Magicians and swordsmen carefully gathered around him and carried him to the council chamber.
The chamber was brightly lit, and the long table in the middle was full of people, all with gloomy faces. Lear looked at the head of the long table with a dying old man with age spots on his face, and an old man who was also old but with a piercing gaze sat in his lower hand, and Lear recognized this old man at a glance as the superior swordsman who had slashed meteorites with a sword.
When the upper swordsman saw Lear, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he glanced at the old man on the main throne with a solemn expression.
When Grand Duke Barlow saw the expression of the superior swordsman, he raised his head and looked at Lear seriously with slightly cloudy eyes.
The High Mage hurriedly walked up to Archduke Barlow and whispered in his ear what had happened.
The first time Lear saw Archduke Barlow, he didn't expect it to be such an ordinary old man, and he was secretly a little disappointed in his heart.
Grand Duke Barlow smiled and said, "What a stubborn little fellow, it seems that the Lear family has the current momentum, and it is not blown out. Tell me what you came for. β
Lear bowed slightly and saluted, "Dear Grand Duke Barlow, Earl Lear has sent me to collect your signature papers. β
Grand Duke Barlow said very kindly: "In this case, the county office has indeed informed me. But. Don't he dare to come to the capital of Baro?"
Lear straightened his chest and said, "Yes, Count Lear does not dare to come to a principality whose capital is about to be breached. β
"Tell me again, the fisherman of Port Lear!" a man dressed as a military attache stood up patting the table. Glaring at Lear, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
Lear didn't even look at the military attachΓ©, stared at Grand Duke Barlow and said, "My lord, I have finally found the reason why your soldiers cannot defeat the demons, and that is to make no distinction between dignity and inferiority! Such people are only equipped with toilet flushes in Port Lear. β
Grand Duke Barlow smiled, not in the slightest, motioned for the military attache to sit down, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know, I will personally give him the signed paperwork." β
Lear sighed and said, "Dear Grand Duke Barlow, what blindfolded you, and what misled you into making such a clumsy choice?"
"That's enough!" said Grand Duke Barlow, whose face turned cold, and stared into Lear's eyes, "You think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"Yes, you don't dare!"
As soon as Lear's words fell, the sword light flashed in the hall, and all the people with swords showed their long swords, as long as the Grand Duke gave an order. They'll turn Leardo into a meat sauce.
Only a trace of helplessness flashed on the face of the high-ranking swordsman. Captured by Archduke Barlow and Lear, Lear has been paying attention to Archduke Barlow and this high-ranking swordsman.
Archduke Barlow noticed Lear's gaze and suddenly smiled and said, "A young man without edges and corners is not a qualified young man. I'll give you the opportunity to say why I don't dare. If you can convince me, not only will I not kill you, but I will also give you a signed paperwork. β
Lear stepped forward, before he could speak. There was a commotion in the hall, and those with swords were subconsciously pulled by Lear.
Lear smiled contemptuously and said, "You don't dare." Because the Demon Marquis is outside the city, and the Earl of Lear, the Marshal's Guard, and the Twelfth Legion are also outside the city, and if you kill me, you will be exposed to the enemy!"
Archduke Barlow was noncommittal, leaning on the back of his chair and saying, "Go on." β
Lear stepped forward again and said, "You don't dare. Because the general slaughtered the Grand Duke's Mansion at night. The high-end mage power in your hands was lost overnight, and Port Lear has two more divisions!"
In the face of the aggressiveness of the "Count Lear's envoy", the god of Archduke Barlow became sharp. But still leaning on the back of the chair.
The High Mage who had just grabbed Lear shouted angrily, "Grand Duke, please give the order to kill this arrogant lord!"
Grand Duke Barlow glanced at him expressionlessly, and he was so frightened that he quickly shut up.
Lear stepped forward again and said, "You don't dare. As long as Port Lear is willing to vomit blood, you will be seriously ill for thirty years! Without Port Lear, the Duchy is a commercial wasteland! Count Wa is willing to exchange my death for all the fortunes of the great merchants of the Barlow family in Port Lear!"
Archduke Barlow's back left his chair. Sit up straight.
One of the aides retorted: "Lose credibility, Port Lear will be spurned by all merchants!"
"Before spitting, the merchant must know that someone is trying to destroy the stability and prosperity of Port Lear by assassinating the master of Port Lear!" Lear continued to step forward, looked at Archduke Barlow and said, "You don't dare. Because when you stand on the opposite side of Port Lear, you have to choose one of the three chairs to be allegiance, but the Grand Duke of Barlow has only chosen one chair!"
Grand Duke Barlow was slightly moved, and leaned forward slightly.
Lear smiled confidently and took the fifth step: "You don't dare. Because you are old! You have three sons and two daughters, but none of them can compare to you when you were young! I think you sat in this chair with your father's head!"
Archduke Barlow's face changed drastically, and then he took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a strange light.
At first, the people around him wanted to kill Lear alive, but when they heard this, they all looked at Archduke Barlow in panic, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats when they were so nervous.
Grand Duke Barlow hangs his elbows on the table, his hands folded, and he leans forward. With his chin on his hands, he asked in a deep voice, "What else?"
Lear took the final step and said, "You don't dare. The superior swordsman by your side knows best!"
Grand Duke Barlow looked at the superior swordsman beside him, and the upper-ranking swordsman looked at Lear, and finally showed a helpless wry smile.
Grand Duke Barlow looked at Lear again. After pondering for a long time, he seemed even older in his short time. And finally said, "Give it to him." β
The chief staff pulled out a piece of paper from the large stack of papers, stood up, and looked at Archduke Barlow. Don't speak.
"Give it to him!"
Reluctantly, the Chief of Staff walked up to Lear and handed him the paperwork with Archduke Barlow's name on it.
Lear took the paperwork, folded it and put it in his breast pocket, and politely said, "Thank you." The Duchy of Barlow and Port Lear will be friends forever. Grand Duke Barlow looked at Lear and smiled at the first sight: "If you have a bad time in Port Lear, you can come to the Duchy of Barlow." A fiefdom baron is waiting for you, along with a pen and a map. β
"Crazy, simply crazy" A senior assistant looked at Archduke Barlow in disbelief.
Grand Duke Barlow gave him a disgusted look: "Drag it out! β
The two swordsmen quickly covered the mouth of the senior assistant and hid the council chamber.
A pen and a map meant that Lear could choose his own barony anywhere in the Duchy of Barlow. This is the highest courtesy of the Homan Empire, and the Horman Emperor said such things back then.
Lear bent over forty-five degrees this time. He bowed solemnly and said sincerely, "If that day comes, I will come to the capital of Baro first." β
Archduke Barlow laughed heartily, vaguely showing the style of the year, and said loudly, "Say hello to Count Lear for me." Tell him that I am willing to exchange 5,000 square kilometers of land for you. β
The council chamber was suddenly flooded with exclamations, one by one, the territory that the previous Grand Duke Barlow had given to the first Earl of Lear was 5,000 square kilometers. Of course, Lear's grandfather was just a viscount at the time.
Lear couldn't help but look at Archduke Barlow, and a kind of excitement rose in his heart to die as a confidant, but this excitement was fleeting, and he secretly sighed that Archduke Barlow really lived up to his reputation, and his methods were not comparable to himself.
Lear finally bowed and strode out of the council chamber. Leave the Grand Duke's mansion and use the Cloak of Invisibility to quickly walk to the Spice Shop, then evacuate through the sewers with the Hidden Knight.
Grand Ducal Palace, Council Chamber.
Grand Duke Barlow sighed, looked at the superior swordsman and asked, "Why don't I dare?"
The upper swordsman smiled bitterly and said, "He is a dragon knight. β
He then added, "It's not a wurm knight like me. According to the etiquette of a dragon knight, I will salute first when I see him!"
The council chamber was silent, and more than half of the people were too surprised to think.
Killing Lear means being an enemy of the dragon and possibly facing revenge from a high dragon.
Since the end of the Civil War, the Homan Empire may not have produced a dragon knight for a hundred years, so much so that even those who tame wurm call themselves wurm knights. In the era when the number of dragon knights was the largest, no one dared to call themselves Wulong knights, but only Warcraft swordsmen.
Archduke Barlow sighed, "Lucky Earl Lear, it seems that the plan to cooperate with Port Lear is about to be advanced. β
Half an hour later, a shrill siren suddenly sounded at the Earl's Court, and then a fire broke out in the dungeon.
When Grand Duke Barlow arrived, he saw his eldest son transformed into a charred headless corpse.
"Who!who killed Benson!Who killed my dear son!" A sickly flush appeared on Archduke Barlow's old face, and anger filled his chest.
