Chapter 424: Director Gao VS Director Ken
Director Ken: "What are you talking about?" - I don't understand
Gordon: "I...... Alas, it would be nice if you were proficient in classical Chinese poetry. "-- Regret
Director Ken: "So you were reciting classical oriental poetry just now...... It's a pity that your recitation skills are not good enough to impress me. β
Gordon: "This has nothing to do with recitation skills, even if I have [Nan Yifeng]-like ecstatic expressions and movements, it is useless. You and I have different cultural backgrounds, and the beauty of the emotional conception of Chinese poetry is difficult to convey through translation. β
Director Ken: "What if you convey it, I'm not [Thomas Moore] (Thomas_Moore), and you're not [George Byron] (George_Byron). β
β
Bean Knowledge: George Byron and Thomas Moore were famous British (Irish) poets of the early 19th century, who were friends and satirists of the same kind. Byron, motivated by his passion, once attacked Moore in The English Poet and the Scottish Critic. Angry, Moore sent a challenge to Byron (duel of honor). But [Byron] had already boarded a ship and was heading to the East, and he didn't know anything about the duel. Later, [Moore] was newly married, and he was in a hurry, and he left the duel behind. After [Byron] returned to China, the two met and talked about it, laughing, and releasing their suspicions. [Moore] also held a banquet to entertain old friends, and the relationship between the two became deeper in the future. The "dueling rhyme" between the two of them was also praised by later generations and became an example of tolerance and concession.
β
Gordon: "Yes, you and I are far from being as friendly as [Moore] and [Byron], but we will definitely not be at the point where we are incompatible. Please calm down and ask yourself, is this duel really inevitable?"
Director Ken: "To be honest, it's not ......" - loosen your mouth
Gordon: "That's it. Everyone is a civilized person, what can we sit down and talk about calmly, why do we have to use violent means to solve the problem? "-- Pick up the stubble right away
Director Ken: "Alright, as long as you answer me honestly with a question, I'll withdraw the dueling challenge." -- Concessions
I (belly slander): "Wow, the mouth cannon has made a meritorious service, and the old guy really uses words to open up a little bit of space to turn around." β

Gordon: "Excuse me. β
Director Ken: "What are the ways you have taken to obtain the temporary status of the director of the Magic Association's sΓ©ance department?"
Gordon: "...... You want to know all the ways I went?"
Director Ken: "Yes, I want the name of each of them. - Persecution
Gordon: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" - he turned his face blank and flatly refused
Director Ken: "You can't avoid a duel like this. "-- Threats
Gordon: "No way, if I tell you, my friends' reputations will be over." You have to protect the honor of the head of the sΓ©ance, and I will protect the honor of my friends, even if I fight you in a duel. "-- Tough
I (belly slander): "What is the old guy doing, the door of peace that was finally opened by you has been shut by you again, what can you do if you tell the big back the way to go...... No, Director Huang Changzhi and the bad woman didn't dare to tell the birdman about the "headwind" (the reaction force of the universe). If he doesn't say it, the old guy's spy identity will not be exposed for the time being, and if he does, with his connections within the Magic Association, the old guy's relationship with the European authorities will be exposed, and the spy charge will be confirmed, and the end will be ...... (Figure it out) old guy, you must not say it, the big back is talking to you!"

Director Ken: "Honor? They have already lost the honor of the magician by doing such a dirty thing, a bunch of scum!"
Gordon: "Take your word back, NOW!"
Director Ken: "What if I don't take it back?" - disdainful
Gordon: "I'm going to propose to you a 'duel of honor'!" -- anti-guest-oriented
Director Ken: "Hahaha, you mentioned the 'Honor Duel' to me...... (Laughing at [Gordon] for not being able to measure himself) OK, that's exactly what I want, I swear by the honor of a magician and accept your dueling challenge. -- Officially in battle
Gordon: "Previously, you proposed that the world's top magician, Zatana Zatara, be a witness to the duel. β
Director Ken: "Yes, I mentioned it. β
Gordon: "Then when she returns, we'll ask her for her opinion, and if there are no objections, the dueling Witnesses will choose her?"
Director Ken: "Yes. β
Gordon: "The next referee and dueling assistant ......"
Director Ken: "Wait, wait, referee and dueling assistants, do you need to make it so complicated?" - suddenly realized that something was wrong, he was led by [Gordon] by the nose, and lost the initiative
Gordon: "Complicated? You and I are both people with status and status, isn't it normal to strictly follow the rules of etiquette for dueling? Only in this way can we reflect the noble elegance and dignity of you and me." Otherwise, what is the difference between the "duel of honor" between you and me and the brawl of the gangsters in the market?"
Director Ken: "......" -- the reason is poor
Gordon: "Besides, you and I have never met before, and we understand each other through other people's relays, and you and I don't know what the other party's character and reputation actually are." β
Director Ken: "Do you think I'm going to use the next three tricks to plot against you in a duel?" - exasperated
Gordon: "I don't know, and in the same way, you don't know if I will use the next three indiscriminate methods in the duel to plot against you, such as 'ganging up to buy the referee' (Shi Chen), 'cheating and poisoning with drugs' (Yan Ye), and 'bomb assassination and gunman sniping' (Kiritsu). β
Director Ken: "(A strange sense of dΓ©jΓ vu hits) ......" - a chill in his back, and the whole person is not good
Gordon: "So, for the sake of fairness, dueling assistants are a must, and the referees need to be very selective to ensure absolute neutrality. β
Director Ken: "Huh, when did the referee pick out the time......
Gordon: "Time? Now it's the time, place, weapons, and rules of the duel, so don't worry." -- Grab the talk
Director Ken: "Do you have any more rules?"
Gordon: "Of course, we have to strictly follow the etiquette of dueling, and always maintain the grace of ease. Be elegant, not dirty. β
Director Ken: "Nonsense, you obviously want to use this to delay indefinitely and avoid the duel!"
Gordon: "How could I delay indefinitely, evading a duel...... Let's do that, three days, and we'll finalize everything within three working days from tomorrow, and the duel will take place within a week, how about it?"
Director Ken: "Three days, a week?"
Gordon: "Yes, that's my contact information...... (handing out business cards) everyone to keep in touch, goodbye. -- Sending off passengers
I (belly slander): "I'm worried about the old guy, more than the mouth cannon, the big back is defeated." β

Bean Knowledge: Duel refers to a fight between two or more people with lethal weapons according to established rules, in order to settle a quarrel or for some kind of honor. Duels have appeared in England for a long time, and have a history of duels for hundreds of years, which has experienced the evolution from the traditional "judicial duel" to the "duel of honor" in modern times, and the history of duels between nobles and celebrities is endless. The common denominator between a "duel of honor" and a "judicial duel" is that they both retain the element of etiquette, that is, from the moment both parties issue and accept the challenge of the duel, they solemnly swear to each other and the witnesses with their personal status and honor, and promise to strictly abide by the rules of the duel and the command and judgment of the referee, not to act on their own, not to take revenge in private, and to do no irregularities in the duel. When discussing the matter of a duel, the challenger and the fighter exchanged letters, treated each other politely, politely agreed on the time, place, weapons to be used, and rules of procedure, and reached a serious agreement. They even greeted each other and saluted each other when they met. This series of ceremonial acts embodies a certain moral and identity dignity.
