Miles strode in with a practice sword in hand.

He first made a very solemn half-kneeling salute, then stood up straight, stared at Lear, and said seriously, "Lord Lear, I am about to leave the Starry Sky Continent with the ship. ”

"Oh, but what does it have to do with me?" said Lear nonchalantly.

Miles took a deep breath and said, "Lord Lear, I admit that I offended you that day, and I apologize to you and Miss Ness. ”。

After saying that, he put down the practice sword, held the sword handle on the ground with both hands, tried to put on a chic posture, and said, "I have admitted my mistake, but I think my uncle punished me too severely. Uncle treated me very well, and I couldn't make him sad. But my self-esteem told me that I couldn't leave like this, or I would regret it for the rest of my life. I hope to have a fair game with you. Of course, given your young age, I only use eighty percent of my strength. ”

Lear was speechless, thinking that the Homan Empire hated this the most, and that the big thing was better than a sword duel, but on second thought, it was a good thing.

He looked at Miles with pretended to be arrogant, and said, "I'm just curious, why are you challenging me? What are you worthy of me to fight!"

Enraged by Lear's arrogance, Miles shouted angrily, "You are Lord Earl, you shouldn't say that! Sword fighting is a right shared by commoners and nobles in the Empire! If you are afraid, you can ask your family knights to fight!"

The nobles had the privilege of even in the sword game, that is, to let the knights of the family fight on their behalf. In fact, the biggest use of the knights of the high-end families of the Homan Empire is not only to protect the master, but also to fight the sword instead of the master.

Lear asked Kane in a low voice, "Can you get me some gold carats, preferably a magic check from the Imperial Bank." ”

Kane looked over to the junior swordsman, who immediately opened the magic bag with the elemental crystal and pulled out an inch-thick book, a magic checkbook.

Kane said, "Your Excellency, you don't have your own Imperial bank account yet, but this is a bearer magic checkbook that you can use directly. ”

He took the thick checkbook, pulled out a golden magic quill from the spine, and then opened the checkbook, filling in the number "1000" in the amount field on the first page. The cost of the checkbook is inexpensive, and the magic authentication process also consumes the magic resources of the Imperial Bank, and it costs ten gold carats to use it once.

A beautiful line of italics appeared on the check, asking him if he was sure, and after he chose, the checkbook glowed faintly, sending a message to the nearest Imperial Bank, and then the Imperial Bank magically reported back, and the check was immediately detached from the checkbook.

Lear pinched the check and shook it slightly, making a snorting sound, and said proudly, "I have a rule for comparing swords, and I put my own bets on them." The law of the empire has this, you have the right to challenge, I have the right to propose a gambling war. I don't like to compete with poor, uneducated ghosts. ”

Miles' face flushed all at once—he had scolded Lear and Ness like that when he was in the china shop, and was now being used to scold himself, making him feel more humiliated than being beaten by his uncle.

Ness pokes her head out from behind Lear and grimaces at Miles, who she doesn't like. Women are vindictive, and the kind-hearted Niss is no exception, although she has not yet become a woman.

"Why, there's no bet? Go back then!" Lear turned and left.

"Wait!" Miles called out to Lear and began rummaging through his body, eventually pulling out a Ring of Warmth worth 300 gold carats in the Netheric Empire and 700 gold carats in the Homan Empire - a first-level magic "Warmth Technique" that could be activated every day for three hours. It takes fifteen days to recharge naturally, and can be recharged with red crystals.

The Ring of Advanced Healing in Lear's hand is similar, but if it is naturally charged, it will take three years to fully charge, but if there are enough white crystals, it will be fine in one hour, but it will need to be left for twenty-four hours after being charged.

There are very strict conditions for crafting magical equipment - if a certain piece of magic is solidified into a piece of equipment, the maker will never be able to use that magic from now on. Of course, no one knows what those crazy magicians will find to make up for this shortcoming.

Therefore, even Bishop Margoon coveted the Ring of Advanced Healing Techniques, and even the general was surprised. That ring is a magic guide equivalent to the Juggernaut weapon, and it's hard to buy. If Sherlock still had the Juggernaut weapon on his body at the time, he would rather give the Juggernaut weapon to Lear than give the ring, but he had no choice at the time.

It is precisely because of the harsh production conditions of magic guides that it is difficult for other countries to manufacture magic guides in large quantities, except for the Netheric Empire, which has many magicians like dogs. Many magicians tend to be made by magicians as they grow old and leave them to their descendants.

Those whose fathers had magical achievements but could not be magicians themselves often defected to emperors, kingdoms, or grand dukes who had the ability to bestow fiefs, exchanging precious magic guides for fiefdom titles.

The Ring of Advanced Healing is a relic of a high-ranking mage in the Nethri Empire, who died suddenly, and his descendants want to defect to the Homan Empire and ask Sherlock to help clear the relationship. But the superior mage made too many enemies for Sherlock to keep it, and fled, and the family then evaporated silently.

Miles proudly took out the Ring of Warmth and said, "This is the magic guide that my uncle gave me as a bet!"

Watson, the chief assistant behind Lear, who was a high-level apprentice magician and mid-level warrior, only glanced at it and sneered: "Miles, your ring is only worth six hundred gold carats at most, if it is in Netherry, it will be cheaper." You'll have to come up with another four hundred carats worth of gold to gamble. ”

Miles was ashamed and annoyed, and quickly rummaged through himself, but he had only eight gold carats, fifteen silver pounds, and sevenpence all he had in his body. Finally, he took off the amber necklace hanging around his neck, pretended to be angry, and said: "This is my ancestral lucky necklace, and in the amber is a magic worm egg, and a magician wants to buy it with five hundred gold carats, but I refuse!"

The yellow amber was the size of half a little finger, and there was a rice-sized egg in the amber, and the egg had seven magic patterns of different colors. Unless it is a ** master, even a high-level mage will not be able to detect the signs of life of this ancient worm egg.

In fact, it was a small toy he picked up when the ancestral house was renovated, and later a magician realized that the magic worm eggs in the amber had some research value, and wanted to buy them for 100 gold carats. But Miles thought that the mages were rich, and the lion opened his mouth and asked for a thousand gold carats, and the money-hungry magician left immediately.

That magician was none other than the fake Potions Master West from Baron Humphrey's house.
