In the more than two hundred years of elven life of Didriet Andomir, no one has ever given her an order other than the Goddess of Truth Thunder and Bishop Nathaniel, let alone something like 'Leave the thieves alone, return to Collingwood as fast as possible to deal with the squeeze case, and get the council out of here.'"

Moreover, Feige is going to fight a duel with the elves, what does he think, doesn't he know that there is a contradiction between humans and elves now? At this time, is the duel trying to make the contradiction intensify to the level of battle? Dedewit suddenly felt very aggrieved, she has a territory to manage, but she does not have enough manpower. It was hard to persuade the elves to leave the elven island to help, but the people in the territory didn't like it. So, she led the elves around to clear out the bandits and thieves, hoping to gain support with such actions.

A gang of very cunning thieves slowed her down, and even the Elven Ranger said they were too difficult to track. After nearly half a month in the woods and swamps near Flowing River Town, when people were sleepy and full of failure, they suddenly heard bad news from Feiqi, which made Didrite almost angry. "Don't you think I'm in trouble enough?" the elf decided to teach Feige a lesson, not to make him think that he was invincible if he won the tournament, at least when facing the elven elite warriors, it was impossible to win so easily.

As she rode back, the oncoming wind calmed down Dedelet, and she began to think about another aspect of the problem: what if Feige was right, although the elves had not yet begun to establish a council in Minas Ithil, but someone had recently brought up the council in her ear, and said a lot about the council bringing peace and tranquility to the elven island. Therefore, the matter of the council should not be groundless, and the people of Elven Island may really do it.

However, as for Feiqi's reaction, there is a council on Elven Island, and the Church Council actually has a similar system setting, and it has been running very well, and there is no problem! Even the human king has his own royal council, and he can usually make some simple decisions on behalf of the king, which can save a lot of energy. Whether it's a lord or a king, leading the knights to defend their territory against criminals is the most important thing.

Didlett didn't like the idea of a model leader in the first place, and she didn't have much interest in it, so it would be nice if someone was willing to share it. It was on the basis of this idea that she went to Feige, and it was on the basis of the same idea that she was quite in favor of the council. The only reason that could make Feige oppose the existence of the Council was the lust for power, and Feige didn't want the Council to weaken the power of his chief adviser - a thought that made Didlett a little sad.

All the way back to Collingwood, there were already more than twenty people on both sides of the road, and there should be more behind the windows of the houses. The roads in the middle of the town were cleaner than ever, and the pickup trucks, boxes and garbage that were parked sideways were cleared, and even the dogs were chained. An excellent dueling arena was right in front of the Elven Lord's eyes, and the two sides involved in the duel, one following him, the other sitting far away on the steps of the inn.

He was almost sitting on the floor, his legs spread apart, leaning forward and holding a plate, wiping the last of the meat and oil from the plate with bread. Then he put down his plate, wiped his mouth, wiped his hand on the steps, and stood up clutching the pillar that supported the porch beside him. The always masked woman hung her sword from her waist and straightened the cotton scarf around her neck, and the strong, shirtless woman checked the laces of his shoelaces and adjusted the position of his armored coat. Then, with a wave of his hand, Feige flew into the palm of his hand. This action can be regarded as chic.

"My lord, I finally see you. Fei Qi bowed his head slightly: "It must have been very hard to gallop all the way." But I have one more thing to trouble you: can I ask you to be the judge of the duel? You are the lord, so it is only fitting that you should do this. ”

"I don't like this duel, so you two stop. The chief adviser and the sheriff duel in the street, and it would be ridiculous to get out. Didrite got off her horse, came to Feiqi, and shook her head slowly, "And, no matter which of you two is injured, it's not a good thing. I'm going to feel bad. ”

"I don't want you to be sad. It's just ......" Feige made a look of embarrassment: "I didn't propose this duel. As a combatant, it would be a shame to withdraw from the duel that you had already promised. Unless Esquill can throw in the towel, then everyone can be decent. ”

"You insulted the elves, but you want the elves to admit defeat, this is wishful thinking!" Eschel shook his head: "Didlet, don't talk to him. He doesn't know that he is going to fail, let me teach him a lesson!"

"Then I order you two to stop, it's all right!"

Esquel looked at Didrite, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, still angry, but finally said, "If it's an order, then I'll obey it." ”

"No, I won't do that. Feige shook his head and began to warm up with his hands and feet.

"Feiqi, do you really not want to obey orders?" Didriet suddenly found that she was not angry, but her chest was full of sadness. She had always believed that Feige was on her side, that she could be trusted and trusted, but now she didn't even listen to her direct orders. "You're not going to stop dueling, are you? Do you have to be competitive? Isn't a double title enough to satisfy your ambitions?"

"Oh, you misunderstood. I wouldn't do that this sentence refers to you. If I were you, I wouldn't order both sides to stop. Feige waved his finger: "Didlet, someone who really cares about you will point out the error of your order, it's almost the worst of all the options available to you." ”

"What's the reasoning?"

"You are the lord of Minas Ihir, what is the most important thing as a lord?"

"Keep the people safe so that everyone can live well, and then train the army, be ready to defend the Church, and set an example for all realms. ”

"This is the goal of a lord, not the most important thing as a lord. Fitch said to Didlet, "The most important thing is to make a fair judgment, and the lord really only needs to do that. The lord never had to be the best at fighting, or the best at calculating taxes, or the best at singing - none of that mattered. You can find someone who is better at doing all these kinds of work, and this kind of person will always exist. There is only one thing that the lord himself must do, and that is to judge impartially, to decide who is right and who is wrong, or to choose between the two with a combined opinion. It is enough that you can justly punish when someone does something wrong and reward justly when they do right. ”

I can't argue with that. In other words, as long as I make a judgment on the issue between you and Eskor, you will abide by it?"

"If you want to make a fair verdict, don't go down yourself. Now it was clear that the problem was between me and Esquire, and the duel between the two of us followed the tradition and was mutually agreeable on all sides. So, no matter who wins or loses, as a lord, we just need to watch and prove. If you force us to stop, we will only be blamed on both sides. They will say that you are deviating from the elven tradition and favor humans, while the humans will say that you are protecting the elves. ”

"Is that going to happen?" said Didlet, looking at her elven guards, then at the townsfolk on either side of the road, and she had already received the answer from the looks in their eyes. "I didn't think of that, I just don't want either of you two to get hurt. ”

"I know you're a kind-hearted elf, so I'm going to help you become a good lord, a real good lord. Fei Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can come back so quickly, and I have strengthened my determination and confidence to make you a good lord." There are some things I can explain later, I just want you to trust me and I will make the best choice for you. ”

"Including a duel. ”

"Yes, including this duel. Feige bowed to Didrite and said only four words, "Your Excellency." ”

Didrite nodded, and slowly stepped aside. She waved her hand and said to the elves, "Get out of the way, and watch the battle." ”

"Be careful, it's a double champion in the tournament. "Some members of Didlet's Elven Guard also participated in the Priest's jousting tournament, and it was clear that the match was not a selection tournament in the ordinary sense, but also a "sniper battle" between human knights and elven warriors. In the end, the knights and elves all managed to "die together" before the final, and after what could be described as a bitter battle, Feige emerged victorious, which already speaks for itself. "Watch out for his magic, the ground will be unstable, and he can move around with his magic ropes, which is very difficult to approach. In short, be careful that he overtakes you in mobility. ”

Esquill nodded, "I see." ”

"No, you don't understand. Feige walked into the middle of the street with his staff and thrust it into the ground. He adjusted the position of the spear and sword, pulled the scarf from his neck as a mask, and said to Eschel, "I'm ready." ”

The elf, armed with a short-horned bow, a thin sword at his waist, and light leather armor on his body, slowly came to the middle of the road, about twenty paces away from Feiqi. Seeing him carrying long-range equipment, many onlookers booed, and occasionally the voice of "Lai Pi, this is Lai Pi" came over.

"It's the traditional equipment of the elves, and there's nothing to be ashamed of, I approve of it. Fei Qi waved his hand: "If you talk about it in detail, I also like to defeat the enemy from a distance." And my magic has a longer range than a longbow, so I'm still taking advantage. ”

"I've heard about your performance at the Holy Three Castle tournament. The championship is very good, but it is a joust, and it does not represent the real situation on the battlefield. As a human, you're brave enough to stand in front of an elven's longbow, I must make that. ”

"The first half of the sentence is very good, why is the level of the second half of the sentence suddenly lowered?" Feiqi was expressionless, just staring at Esquil with his eyes. "I have to say, on the battlefield, in front of magic, everything is scum!"

"You're too arrogant. Eschel looked around, and by this time everyone had retreated, and Didriet nodded that it was time to start. So he said to Feige: "As a challenger, I need to remind you: you still have a chance to surrender and quit now. If you refuse, it's a battle of honor where the winner must be decided, and even lives can be sacrificed for honor. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's get started, everyone is waiting. ”

"Alright, let's get started. Eschel said the beginning, but his hands didn't move, and Fitch didn't move. "Feige, I said it started. ”

"I know, I'm waiting for you. Feige remained expressionless.

"I'm waiting for you, know that elves react much faster than humans, and I can keep up with you if you act first, and my bow and arrow never miss. Esquil holds the bow at waist level with one hand and the other hand at the side of his head, so that he can take the arrow backwards and then bend the bow and aim the arrow in one go. He kept a close eye on Feige's movements, and when the humans moved, they immediately began to react. He stared very intently, only to notice a strange phenomenon.

'How is he motionless, completely motionless?'

No one can maintain absolute refinement, even the muscles that are focused on tension will tremble, and they will not be completely still.

Something didn't feel right! He suddenly took a step sideways, and at the same time he had already finished aiming. The moment he let go of his hand to shoot, he suddenly felt creepy. Because Feige opposite him didn't move, and those eyes were still staring in the same direction, which was where he had been standing.

The arrow flew and charged at breakneck speed, covering the distance between the two in the blink of an eye, hitting Feige's shoulder. Then, as if through a cloud, it passed through the Feiqi, and thud against the pillar in front of the inn. The people around were all startled, and then they exclaimed, and finally rushed to dodge. For a moment, there was the movement of human spectators hiding behind pillars, door panels, and livestock troughs.

The staff was still standing upright in the middle of the street, but Fitch was gone. "Where did he go?" Esquill felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as he began to turn his head. He tilted his head to see that a stout crossbow bolt had pierced through his shoulder blade from behind, burrowing diagonally out of his shoulder, and was stuck right here.

"Ahh Judging the enemy's position by the "ballistic" of the arrow is a basic ability that every elven warrior possesses, and he looked over according to the instinct formed after thousands of repetitions in training, and saw Feige hiding next to the cargo box on the side of the road with a crossbow in hand. The road was cleared for the duel, but the debris was all temporarily piled up in everything, which happened to be a cover for Feige. Anyone can think of this, but no one knows when and by what means Feige hid there.

"You didn't win!" Esquire knew that the crossbow was much slower to wind than the arrow, and that he could still rewind time. Wasn't it just a shoulder injury? He had anticipated his injury in advance, so he chose a small horned bow instead of the giant bow that elves usually use. There is a skill that few people have ever seen, and elves have rarely learned, but he is one of the few.

With his left hand drawing his arrow and his mouth on the string, he was only a little slower than usual, still faster than a human archer. The moment he opened his mouth to shoot the arrow, he felt creepy again. Why was Fitch on the other side still winding his crossbow, and why wasn't he surprised, nervous, and dodged?

"Whoosh...... Boom!" The tail feathers trembled as the arrow shot into the wall, and Eschel's shot was still a false illusion. In fact, this illusion is not as realistic as the first one, and it is easy to judge with a few more seconds of observation - after all, it is impossible for a real person to do such a stupid loop, winding, loosening, and winding again...... However, there are not so many seconds on the battlefield, and the first reaction decides everything.

"Whoosh......" Esquire, who was completely nervous, heard the sound of crossbow shots and crossbow arrows flying, and he immediately rolled to dodge. Dodging arrows is also a daily practice, and listening to sounds to identify directions, while not always accurate, can at least provide key information about which direction is more advantageous for rolling. At this point, he could no longer shoot another arrow, so he lowered his horned bow and drew his rapier as he rolled.

"Whoosh!"

Impossible, how can there be a second shot in such a block?Eschel gritted his teeth and turned to block, only to find that the crossbow had hit his other shoulder. Although the thin sword was still in his hand, he knew that his fingers were no longer powerful, and this thin sword could not exert its power. And in front of him, just three paces away, Feige's figure slowly emerged from the air, as if he had come out of the mist.

There were exclamations from both sides of the street, not only humans, but also elves, and even Didrite had grown her mouth. From a bystander's point of view, Feige's actions are still traceable, and as long as you can observe carefully, you can completely see the trajectory of his second attack. No, it should be said that after shooting the first crossbow arrow, with everyone having psychological expectations, the elves have been able to grasp Feiqi's true whereabouts and location in terms of air flow disturbances and dust footprints. But this requires a premise: bystanders who do not feel threatened have time to wait, think and observe. The elves asked themselves if they were on the battlefield and would have had the same first reaction as Esquire, perhaps not as good as he had done – or as badly.

Feige stood quietly with his crossbow in hand, reached out and dropped the scarf that blocked his mouth and nose, and let out a slow breath. "You've been defeated, throw in the towel. ”

"How did you shoot two arrows in a row? Do you have a second crossbow?"

"No, I only shot once in the second round, and the previous one was just a simulated sound. ”

"Then the crossbow in your hand is empty, what's the threat of aiming at me?" Esquill suddenly swooped down on Feige from a crouched position with a sudden force on his feet. Elve's agile body never suffers in hand-to-hand combat, and its legs can also fight. Feige was now holding an unwound crossbow in both hands, and he was not capable of fighting back at this time. It's just that...... Why is the ground so slippery?

Esquil kicked hard, and his legs flew backwards in turn, forming a graceful straightening position. Then, with both shoulders injured and unable to use his hands, his only end was to hit his face directly on the ground. No matter how hard the head is, it can't compare to the earth, and at most it can protect the brain a little. But if a person uses all his strength, he can still knock himself unconscious, and elves are no exception.

Just as the elves were kicking and landing, Feige was already winding his crossbow, but his eyes weren't on Esquil, but on Didlet. Under the gesture of his eyes, the elven lord understood.

"It's clear that Feige has won this duel, there's no doubt about that. Didriet raised a hand and walked to the center of the dueling arena. "Feige, you have defended your honor with victory. Now, is it possible to show friendliness and kindness?"

"It will be my pleasure. Feige immediately dismounted from the donkey, took out his crossbow and emptied it, and bowed to Didlet. "Ask Esquire's elven companion to heal him as soon as possible, he is equally worthy of respect for his bravery in battle. ”

The victor compliments his opponent only makes his victory more valuable. However, Feige just didn't want to expose his hell treatment, and hoped that the elves would quickly take over and quickly drag the wounded away, so he said a few words. The people of Collingwood don't care about it, they've cheered. "Fitch is so good!" "Champion!

"It seems that you have a new method, and you have used the methods of the past more skillfully. The elf who had reminded Esquil before came up to Feige and said, "Is the illusion you created and the method you used to make yourself disappear also that magic?"

"Not exactly, it should be a combination of magic and magic, and I haven't finished its pure magic work yet. ”

"I don't understand, but I'd love to hear it when I have time. The elf smiled slightly, and held out his hand to Feige with human courtesy, "Elway Hawkeye, falconer." ”

"It's not the Falcon, is it?" Feige asked, shaking his hand.

"No, it's training and raising eagles, I don't shoot at birds in the sky. ”

"Ah, then I'm relieved. Feige smiled, "We'll have a talk when we have time, Elway." ”

The elven falconer nodded, and then carried the unconscious Esquire away with his companions.

"You win, again. Didlet looked at the blood of the elves on the ground and sighed imperceptibly: "Feiqi, what should I do next?"

"You should keep your eyes up at the townsfolk and feign anger, or majesty. Feige lowered his voice and said, "You have to tell them that the duel is over, there is nothing to see, what to do." Also, you'll start working on the case tomorrow and get everyone in dispute to come over. Finally, he ordered me to follow and have a good talk with me. ”

"Really?" Dedelet looked at Feiqi, who nodded quietly, and for the first time the Elven Lord shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Have you seen enough? Don't gather around here and have nothing to do, what to do! Kelsen, clean up this place!" and you, Feiqi......

Didrite found that she suddenly couldn't shout, so she coughed and said in a negotiative tone: "Since you are not injured, then come with me, there is something to discuss with you......"

Feige felt he had a long way to go.
