Chapter 35: The Arrangement After the Illusion of Victory

The dappled magical lights reflected the aristocratic circles in the main hall of the banquet, especially near the glass platform, where there were few people, but all of them were the top nobles standing at the top of the city of Edalas.

"Atley, are you saying they want a duel in the main hall of the banquet?" Count Raphael showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect those two to be so crazy, the duel in front of many nobles was related to their faces in the future, and it might even be spread out as a joke.

"Yes, sir, are we going to agree to their demands?" Butler Atley asked respectfully, for he had hurried to report it when he had received news from the squire that the vassals of Modrian and Baron Emerson were going to duel openly.

"Why not! I'm a little curious about the outcome of this duel! With a slight smile on his old face, Count Raphael turned to look at Baron Benny beside him and said, "Benny, that little guy's temper is really similar to Brooke's, a little irritable and crazy!" ”

"I didn't expect Modrian to be so crazy, maybe he is very confident in his vassal knights!" Baron Benny shook his head, although he had received the news from Baron Emerson long before the party, he was neutral and had no obligation to tell Modrian.

The many nobles in the main hall of the banquet also seemed to hear the news of the duel, and the lingering dance music stopped playing, and the people in the center of the dance floor quickly left, talking about what they knew.

After a while, the words of conversation were mixed with words such as Jackdaw, Pioneer Knight, Baron Emerson, and Vassalal Knight, and then dispersed to the ears of each nobleman.

"It's time for us to make a grand debut, the protagonist of this gorgeous stage show!" Baron Emerson looked slowly at the door of the main hall of the banquet, where a waiter was approaching with two vassal knights.

In the city of Edalas, Baron Benny has spoken out and does not allow anyone to touch Modrian, he has done it before, and he has also learned a profound lesson, and the intelligence system of the Jeffrey family has been suppressed by the garrison.

But now it's different, this is Harriman Castle, and he initiates a fair knightly duel, and Modrian agrees to do so, so he can openly test the specific strength of the veteran knight.

"It's Bright the Bear, why is he here?" There were people in the circle of nobles who were distributed, and they were full of confusion.

"It seems that our Baron Emerson has recruited an awesome vassal knight." Lord Wheatley looked at the tall and burly knight beside Baron Emerson and said in a strange manner, but the envy in his words was involuntarily revealed.

The court nobles, unlike the meritorious nobles and the blood nobles, even if they have considerable wealth and special rights, they cannot attract the favor of the knights, because there is no room for promotion, and only some knights who have no hope of breaking through, or who are old and frail will consider the solicitation of the court nobles.

Bright the Bear, on the other hand, is the leader of a medium-sized mercenary group active in the city of Edalas, and is a powerful veteran knight, many court nobles and meritorious nobles have tried to recruit him as a vassal knight, but none of them have succeeded.

Now, the knight of Bright Bear has suddenly become a vassal knight of Baron Emerson, and Lord Wheatley does not believe that there is no cat in it, and he can only secretly pray that the second son of the Perris family, whom he has never met, has a strong enough vassal knight, otherwise the loss of face is enough to deal a blow to the rising momentum of the meritorious nobles.

"Lord Modrian." Gregory stood fearlessly at Modrian's side, the scene in front of him was only a small scene for him who was born in the Noxian Empire, and remembered that they had slaughtered many so-called royal nobles.

"Do you know the situation?" Modrian asked, seeing Gregory nodding, his eyes showed a hint of crazy killing intent, he didn't want to be a snake and face that group of hypocritical nobles.

"I want you to kill that guy on the other side as fast as you can!"

In the middle of the dance floor, Butler Atley stood still, he looked at Modrian and Baron Emerson, and asked in a slightly high tone, "Are you ready, two?" ”

Modrian and Baron Emerson nodded at the same time, and the vassal knights at their sides, Gregory and Bright, stepped forward, their heavy armor long gone, and their sharp weapons flashing with cold light.

Smack!

Butler Atley clapped his palms, and four mages in delicate robes walked in from the outside, standing at the four corners of the dance floor, and then a mysterious transparent energy shield surged up, covering the figures of Gregory and Bright.

This is the strength of the Harriman family, but it is a duel between knights, and four mages are dispatched to prevent the collision of life energy from accidentally injuring the onlookers and nobles.

Butler Atley looked around at Gregory on his right-hand side, dressed in pitch-black armor, with his two-handed heavy sword in his hand across his chest, staring at his opponent with an indifferent gaze. On the left-hand side is Bright the Bear, whose burly body is covered in gray-brown chain mail, and the blood stains on the huge heavy axe are densely dried.

"Now, the duel begins!"

In the next moment, Gregory suddenly burst out like a cheetah, the scarlet life energy surging in his body like a turbulent stream, and his two-handed heavy sword cut through the air, making a whimpering sound that pierced his ears.

Kill!

Bright's eyes were furious, he was known as the Violent Bear, but he was especially fond of strength attacks, the muscles of his arms bulged like hills, and the huge heavy axe was swung, he seemed to see the scene of the other party being torn apart, and among all the knights of Edallas City, no one dared to face him head-on.

For Bright, this duel was just a transaction, he needed to break through the experience codex of the knightly stage, and Baron Emerson just happened to be able to provide, not to mention a duel in front of so many nobles, which was the scenario he dreamed of.

However, when the heavy sword and the giant axe slammed at each other, the powerful force from the opposite side made Bright's face change suddenly, and he could feel his arms trembling, and the fear of death spreading in the depths of his soul.

How is this possible? How could that young body contain such terrifying power!?

Bright regretted it, he realized that he had fallen victim to a cunning nobleman, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't make a sound.

Boom!

In the field of vision of everyone in the main hall of the banquet, Brian's heavy axe was slashed away, and then the hideous head was directly smashed by the heavy sword, red blood and white slurry flew everywhere, Gregory's body was full of splattered minced flesh and blood brain, but it looked so dazzling.

Exclamations rang out, and many of the gentlemen and court nobles present had seen the bloody scene, and subconsciously wanted to leave the onlookers, even with a hint of horror in their eyes at Gregory and Modrian.

Only the meritorious nobles and the nobles of blood would have fared better, but their faces also had a solemn meaning, and Gregory had to pay attention to the strength they had shown, including the second son of the Perris family behind him.

Slash with one hit!

Modrian smiled with surprise and satisfaction, he looked at Baron Emerson who was stiff next to him, slowly walked in front of him, looked at the feminine face, but at the moment it was full of ugly looks, and said: "Ha! Is this the Jeffrey family? Grand Duke of the North? Seems a bit ..... Well? It's a bit weak! The glory of the Iron Thorn seems to have fallen. ”

Rumble!

Suddenly, an even greater uproar sounded, and the gentlemen and nobles who had been shocked by the cruel duel picture, after hearing Modrian's deliberately amplified voice, many nobles showed shocked expressions, this is openly slapping the face of the Jeffrey family, and it is a merciless crazy whipping, leaving the bow left and right.

Glancing at Baron Emerson's distorted face to the extreme, Modrian had no psychological pressure, since he left Perris Castle, the Jeffrey family's actions against him have not stopped, everyone has a limit to patience, since he has torn his face, then why continue to endure!

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave first." Modrian bowed to the nobles gathered in the main hall of the banquet, and then he strode away, Gregory silently following behind.

Aristocrat? I'm sorry, but it seems that my mentality is still not comparable to these hypocritical people, so I'll be the spoiler!

The nobles along the way cautiously gave way to the way, judging from the display of strength and crazy words just now, the second son of the Perris family was quite irritable.

"Humph!" Baron Emerson looked around at the nobles who had shown a good and sarcastic gaze, snorted coldly, shook his hand and left the main hall of the banquet with an ugly face, but no one saw it, and there was a hint of a conspiracy behind that ugly face.

Bang bang!

Crisp applause came, and Butler Atli stopped the change in the atmosphere of the banquet in a timely manner, glanced at the surrounding nobles with expressionless expressions, and said indifferently: "Let's applaud such a wonderful duel!" ”

As his words fell, the many guests with different expressions below clapped their hands with a hypocritical smile as if they had enjoyed the most wonderful opera, and the crisp applause continued.

At the same time, the servants in the main hall were cleaning the soiled dance floor, but after a while, it was restored, and then there were people dancing on it again, and many of them were even blushing and laughing as if they were drunk.

......................

Leaving aside the re-enlivened banquet in Harriman Castle, Baron Emerson left and returned directly to the mansion located in the aristocratic area, waving away the servants around him and entering the hidden dark room in the study.

The pure gray ground is carved with an intricate six-pointed star array, and in the center is a silver pillar that is erected, on which is a crystal ball that is fixed.

Baron Emerson gently walked to the silver pillar, stroking the crystal ball with both hands, a gentle energy fluctuation flickered, and then the silver lines of the six-pointed star array floated with brilliance.

"Uncle Emerson, is there anything urgent to report?" A delicate and cold voice came from inside the crystal ball.

"Miss Angela, the things you arranged have been completed, and the strength of the knight next to Modrian Perris has probably been figured out, and it has a strength close to the level of a great knight." Baron Emerson said in a respectful tone.

"Oh? Approaching the Grand Knight, it seems that Viscount Brooke still feels very sorry for this young son, and there is no such person beside Kadir. The woman known as Angela said in surprise. Hehe, then the failure of the first few missions will make sense. ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Angela, it's my negligence that has caused the Jeffrey family to suffer heavy losses, and I will obey the Duke's punishment." Baron Emerson had a cold sweat on his forehead and carefully reflected on himself, and then he recounted what had happened within the Harriman family, including the recent behavior of the nobles in the city of Edalas, and Modrian's final remarks.

"The glory of the Iron Thorn? I think he'll regret it! There was a hint of surprise in Angela's voice, she didn't expect that the aristocratic young master who had been played with by her would grow up, but it didn't matter, everything would eventually be destroyed.

"As for the group of court nobles, don't care, when the glorious festival day comes, I will concoct them well, what I need to know now is the movements of the Harriman family, have you been in contact with His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Gate of Sorrow?"

"This ...... I...."Baron Emerson's face was a little ugly, Edaras City was the stronghold of the Harriman family, and he was not the son of Count Raphael, how could this kind of intelligence information be obtained.

"Rubbish!" A shrill scolding came from inside the crystal ball, leaving no trace of mercy. "I don't know why Grandfather made you the head of intelligence for the city of Edalas, judging by your recent performance in gathering information, it is a waste of the Jeffrey family's resources."

"I don't want any accidents on this trip of the Iron Thorn Cavalry Legion, I hope you can behave better, otherwise I don't mind ......"

"Don't worry, Miss Angela, I have already arranged manpower on my side, and there is absolutely no problem with the cover-up work along the way." Baron Emerson said in a quick tone, although the expression of Miss Angela could not be seen in the crystal ball, but the rumors about that person within the Jeffrey family were not very good.

"Hmph, I hope so." Angela's voice fades away, and the crystal ball begins to return to its original state.

Only at this point did Baron Emerson dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and there was some humiliation on his face, but after thinking of the Iron Thorn Cavalry Legion, it finally disappeared.

It was a cavalry legion led by a great knight, and it was the ace legion of the Stoke Kingdom.
