Chapter 232: The Shield
Castle Black, study.
"Archduke Litus, Archduke Quirrell, Holy Messenger Alice, and Marquis Mary have all arranged to be served. The main hall is preparing for the welcome dinner in the evening, and lunch will be arranged in the side hall first. Butler Mubai respectfully said to Ivan, who was sitting behind the black crystal desk.
Seeing that Grand Duke Ivan nodded, Butler Mu Bai continued: "Grand Duke Litus specially ordered a few dishes--- chicken wings with ice fruit wine, orange fish fillet, blue bamboo shoots and red cabbage. β
The Mu Bai housekeeper knew that these dishes were exactly what Wen Ying liked to eat. He thought to himself, Wen Ying is really interesting, he likes to eat dishes, he eats them every day, and he doesn't get bored, especially blue bamboo shoots, he must eat a large plate every day. And it is also very strange, using the method on the earth, "pickling" the blue bamboo shoots, making the blue bamboo shoots have a sour taste, and giving it a name "sour blue bamboo shoots".
Presumably when Grand Duke Litus arrived at Castle Black, he immediately read the mind to the slave attendants of Castle Black, perhaps Grand Duke Ivan already knew about Grand Duke Littles' actions, but the butler of Mubai still specially reported to Grand Duke Ivan.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Grand Duke Ivan's mouth, and he did not answer.
"The Holy Messenger of Alice sent a purple robe to every count of Amerriken, and said that the cloth for sewing the robe was given by the Grand Duke himself, and asked the counts to wear the purple robe tomorrow to the Wooden Chapel." Mu Bai butler said: "The counts are waiting for the Grand Duke's order, wear?" Or don't wear it? β
"Wear." Grand Duke Ivan said coldly.
"Thatβ" Butler Mu Bai hesitated, "The three hundred and sixty-five purple robes that Alice's holy envoy gave to the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke decides-"
"Okay, the same thing, don't let me say it a second time!" Grand Duke Ivan said impatiently. He waved his hand, and Butler Mubai respectfully retreated, but his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was worried about something.

The northwest of Black Castle is a martial arts training place, with an extremely spacious oval martial arts training ground. At this moment, the martial arts training ground was surrounded by a layer of silver-blue light. Through the light, a woman can be seen running around the oval-shaped martial arts training ground.
The woman was Wen Ying, she was wearing a slim bright blue samurai uniform, but the top was not sleeveless, but short-sleeved, with long black hair and just a ponytail. Wen Ying wore an armband on her left and right arms, and there was a small silver shield-like ornament on the armband.
This armband is a magic weapon, called a power shield, and it is a magic weapon commonly used by practitioners and martial servants in cultivation. He who wears it on his arm is called an arm shield. Wear the arm shield on your hand, even if there is nothing empty on your hand, it will be as if there is a heavy object on your arm. And he that wears it on his leg is called a leg shield.
The weight of the power shield varies, from a few catties to thousands of catties, or even a million catties, as long as there is a need, wizards can make it. It's just that the heavier the weight of the shield, the more magic power it consumes, and the more picky the materials it needs, the more expensive it is.
In addition to Wen Ying's left and right arms, there are also two leg shields on the calves of her left and right legs.
Wen Ying was running, she was not running fast, and she was running with her arms open, straight at the sides of her body, and running in a position of ninety degrees with her body. Moreover, she seemed to run very hard, her clothes were soaked, and her little face was sweaty.
Grand Duke Litus, dressed in a royal blue robe, stood outside the martial arts training ground. Four or five steps ahead of Archduke Litus was Count Alaric.
Looking at the blue violet pattern on the royal blue robe on the Grand Duke of Litus, Count Alaric knew that this robe was given to the Grand Duke by Wen Ying in Youle Island that day.
The light shield that emitted silver-blue light around the martial arts training ground not only made it impossible for movements outside the martial arts training ground to enter the martial arts training ground, but also made it impossible for Wen Ying to see the situation outside the martial arts training ground. As for those outside the martial arts training ground, they can see the situation inside the martial arts training ground clearly.
Count Alaric had golden skin all over his body, and he had directly activated the power of the god seed. His handsome face was golden, as if it were made of gold.
"Please don't embarrass Alaric, Grand Duke Ivan has ordered that no one should enter the martial arts training ground." Count Alaric said, his tone sincere.
Grand Duke Litus's face was calm, and he said gently, "Can you stop me?" β
"Then I can only ask the Grand Duke to step on Alaric's corpse and enter the martial arts training ground." Count Alaric had a wry smile on his face, but his hands were already clenched into fists, and he shouted in his heart that it was not good.
The first thing Grand Duke Litus did when he arrived at Castle Black was to come to the martial arts training ground. Grand Duke Ivan had already guessed Archduke Litus's moves, and ordered Count Alaric to stay outside the martial arts training ground early in the morning.
Count Alaric thought to himself: "In terms of divine power, I am not as good as those old counts who have existed for more than 10,000 years, why don't you call an old earl of 10,000 years?" Do you want to leave such a thankless task to me? β
Count Alaric is naturally not the opponent of Archduke Litus, but if he uses the power of the god seed to go all out, Archduke Litus will naturally consume a lot of divine power if he wants to defeat him, which will inevitably cause concussions in the Black Castle. This is Castle Black, and of course Grand Duke Litus can't use force for Wen Ying and Count Araric.
Count Alaric also knew this, but he was worried that once Grand Duke Litus crossed the light mask and entered the training ground, his heart trembled at the thought of Grand Duke Ivan's words this morning.
This morning, Grand Duke Ivan said to Count Alaric: "If you let Grand Duke Litus into the martial arts training ground, you will stay in the extreme heat for a hundred years. β
Litus said fairly: "Okay, I'm not going in, you don't have to be so nervous." β
"Thank you for your understanding." Count Alaric was delighted, but the complexion of his body remained unchanged, still the color of gold. He didn't want to stay in a very hot place for a hundred years, since Grand Duke Litus arrived at Castle Black, Count Alaric had activated the power of the god seed, and he planned that as long as Wen Ying did not return to Grand Duke Ivan for a moment, he would always let the power of the god seed be in a state where it could explode at any time.
Seeing this, Grand Duke Litus had to dispel the idea of entering the martial arts training ground, and said, "Wen Ying's arm power shield and leg power shield weigh only ten catties. When did you start wearing these shields?
"Wen Ying put it on herself early in the morning, and yesterday's power shield was nine catties." Count Alaric said: "She has only been training for more than ten days, ten catties, which is already the maximum strength she can withstand, and no matter how heavy it is, it will damage her body muscles and ligaments." β
"She only does running?" Grand Duke Litus's tone was a little puzzled. Walkers and warriors practice, in addition to running, there are many other ways to exercise and enhance physical fitness.
Count Alaric smiled: "I tried several methods for Wen Ying, only running is the easiest for her to accept, the Grand Duke said, start with the easiest running." After 30 days of training, use other methods. β
"In addition to archery, what other weapons did Wen Ying choose?" Archduke Litus then asked.
"Swords and Walkers." Count Alaric said: "However, according to her physical condition, she will need to hone her physical strength for at least one year before she is qualified to start practicing archery and other weapons." β
Grand Duke Litters has been standing on the edge of the martial arts training ground, watching Wen Ying run and talking to Count Alaric. The content of the speech is naturally related to Wen Ying. Grand Duke Litus naturally knew Grand Duke Ivan's intention to temper Wen Ying, but now that he saw Wen Ying tired and out of breath, he felt very distressed.
About half a day later, Wen Ying suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground.
The Grand Duke of Litus's body moved slightly, and the Count of Alaric had already hugged the whole Duke of Littles. In a hurry, he didn't care much, and directly used the most effective way to prevent Grand Duke Litus from entering the martial arts training ground.
"Bold!" Grand Duke Litus's face was slightly angry, and he scolded.
Count Alaric sensed that Grand Duke Ivan was already beside Wen Ying, so he let go and took two steps back, and sneered: "The Grand Duke is angry. β
