"You're doing a good job, but it's pointless." Roland drank his coffee and told Anthony with a wry smile, "I didn't intend to pursue your 'knight princess', she took the initiative to challenge me, and I obviously couldn't refuse." ”

Anthony's face was full of confusion, "Paladina's idea is this...... I couldn't understand her more and more. ”

"Don't guess a woman's mind, don't guess it, guess it is in vain, all I can do is to try to defeat Palatina in the tournament, the victory or defeat of this contest is not only related to my personal honor, but also to the dignity of the kingdom of Kolas." Roland looked at his pocket watch, "It's almost time, let's go." ”

Hearing him say this, Anthony realized the seriousness of the situation, and followed Roland into the carriage with a heavy heart.

The carriage crossed a street and stopped outside the hotel where the Imperial delegation was staying. Through the car window, Roland saw a familiar figure coming down the stairs, it was Palatina in her regular clothes, followed by little Alberton.

Roland opened the window and waved. Palatina turned around and smiled, her blue eyes unusually bright.

Roland beckoned the two men to get into the car, and then told the coachman to go to the University of Krasbourg.

"Good morning, Palatina, did you sleep well last night?"

"I think about you all the time, and I don't sleep very well." Her Royal Highness winked playfully.

"I said you two sprinkled dog food early in the morning!? What kind of martial arts is it to go to the eyebrows, take advantage of the good weather to go on an outing! Anthony exclaimed.

Palatina's cheeks flushed, and she gave him a fierce look, "I'm thinking about a competition with Roland, don't distort my intentions!" ”

Anthony laughed and wanted to tease Palatina, but Roland didn't want to lose a Witness before the contest, so he quickly diverted the subject.

"Mr. Weinstein, if I'm not mistaken, Palatine is going to ask you to be a jousting witness?"

"I really don't want to take on this drudgery, but unfortunately I can't escape, wait a minute, pay attention to proportions when you two fight, don't kill me as a witness."

Little Alberton looks quite like his grandfather, not tall, thin, looks like a standard weak scholar, comes from a wealthy family but has no shelf, and his speech and demeanor make people feel very comfortable, perhaps this is the natural expression of gentlemanly cultivation.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the university, and Roland got out of the carriage first, then turned and helped Palatine down. Palatina thanked softly, and her demeanor was quite ladylike. The passing college students cast curious glances at the handsome man and the beautiful woman, and naturally regarded them as a couple, and no one could have imagined that they were rivals who had come to find a venue for a duel.

Roland established a laboratory and library named after himself at the University of Krasbourg, which involved military secrets, and it was not convenient for Imperial visitors to visit them.

Roland accompanied three foreign friends along the tree-lined paths on the campus, introducing them to the facilities. Alberton Jr. and Palatina were secretly amazed when they heard this, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that the University of Krasbourg, which had been established for less than half a year, already had the atmosphere of a world-class university, and in time, it might not be able to keep pace with Imperial Central University.

The library of the University of Krasbourg is divided into two areas, the public areas on the first to third floors are open to the public, and the fourth floor is Roland's private reading room, which houses the precious texts he has collected over the years.

Roland opens the private reading room and invites guests in. Palatina stood in the hall filled with the smell of books, looking around at the neatly displayed bookshelves, her beautiful blue eyes showing confusion.

"This kind of place...... Is it really suitable for a duel? ”

Alberton Jr. and Anthony have the same question, and their eyes are focused on Roland's face, expecting him to reveal the mystery.

"It's true that the library is not suitable for martial arts, but fortunately it is quiet enough that we can open a door to the real martial arts arena here." Roland took out a black ring from his pocket, "Palatina, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this thing, right?" ”

"It's ...... The Ring of Ryugu?! Palatina recognized the black ring at a glance and couldn't help but change her face, "How can you have such a thing?" ”

When Roland entered the door, he quietly performed "Seeing Through the Lies", and observed Palatina with the help of this 4-ring magic technique, confirming that her surprise was not a disguise, which shows that the plot to hire the demon to assassinate Philip had nothing to do with her.

"That's a long story......" Roland briefly explained the origin of the Dragon Palace Ring, and then activated the magic power to expand the half-plane.

"Palatina, now we're going to enter the dimensional killing field, and as for the two Witnesses," Roland looked at Anthony and Alberton Jr., "do you need my help?" ”

"It's a small thing, don't bother." Little Alberton snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, and a teleportation array rose from under his feet, enveloping him and Anthony beside him. As the grandson of the legendary archmage, Alberton Jr. successfully advanced to the rank of archmage before the age of 30, and his spell-casting ability is worthy of the noble surname "Weinstein".

The magic flashed in a flash, and the library was empty. At the same time, a half-plane quietly opened up in exactly the same coordinates as the building.

The "Dimensional Killing Field" overlapping in the same location has a very different atmosphere from the library. A plaza is enclosed by towering walls, and the obsidian floor is faintly visible with bloodstains and sword marks, and the atmosphere is eerie and solemn.

"Most of the traces of the fight here were left by the original owner of the 'Dragon Palace Ring', the 'six-armed snake demon' Kona, don't worry about it, it will be automatically eliminated after a while."

Roland walked to the center of the dimensional killing field, turned to Palatina and the two witnesses of the tournament and smiled slightly, "Can you start now?" ”

Palatina quickly slapped several protective magic techniques on herself, and her whole momentum changed greatly, bowed slightly to Roland, and said, "Please advise!" ”

Roland unhurriedly blessed himself with various buff magic spells, and at the same time quietly opened the Pupil of Fate to observe Palatina.

The advanced class "Hand of God" has been upgraded to level 5, Roland's perception has evolved to the level of a demigod and a demigod, and the detection effect of the "Pupil of Destiny" has also been improved simultaneously, and he can now see more details from the other party than when he first met Palatina outside the gate of Fort Olevi half a month ago.

The first thing that catches your eye is Palatina's cool and domineering golden chain mail "Celestial Legion". With the help of the "Pupil of Destiny", Roland confirmed that it was a set of +7 Legendary armor, lightweight and as light as a normal cloth coat, with strong defense without hindering the wearer's dexterity. In addition to this, this set of legendary chain mail also has two very useful spells - Flying and Anti-Evil Circle.
