Edge Long Night had imagined countless times what the first battle he would encounter in this strange divine habitat would be, but he still didn't expect that this first battle would unfold in such a form.

"You are undermining the majesty of your lord, and I hereby propose a duel to you."

What exactly does this mean?

Just because Nangong Xiaya didn't mention the industrial Morning Star, he was going to duel with me?

The muscles of the edge of the long night's face twitched, and he stared at the blazing Hikotsuki Hokusai as he reached out to retrieve his industrial morning star.

Except for the sentence just now, Hikotsuki Hokusai never said anything else.

Apparently, he was waiting for an answer from the edge of the long night.

But how else can the edge of the night answer?

He had just arrived at the Divine Habitat for the first time, and if he refused this first battle, then his evaluation of the three people in front of him would definitely be lowered.

And Hikotsuki Hokusai's appearance doesn't look like the kind of person who would allow the edge to refuse for a long night.

In other words, unless Nangong Xiaya personally intervenes to mediate, this battle will probably have to be fought.

"I'm suggesting you fight." Xie Yan's voice was tantamount to a reassuring pill at this time, which stabilized the spirit of the edge of the long night.

"Why?" Although Edge Changye usually does not question Xie Yan's suggestion, in such a situation, he still chooses to ask the truth.

"The reason is very simple, if you don't take this battle, then it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the Nangong Group in the future." Xie Yan said slowly, "But if you take over this battle, no matter what the result is, as long as your attitude is serious enough, then your status in the hearts of the two of them will be improved, and the most important thing is that the experience of fighting with legends like Hikotsuki Hokusai is enough for you to blow in the Nangong Group for a few years." ”

"So you mean, not only to fight, but to fight beautifully, right?" The edge of the long night seemed to understand the meaning of Xie Yan's words, and thought for a while.

"That's right, you really know what I'm trying to say, and that's something I've always admired about you." There was a hint of ease in Xie Yan's tone, "Then I think you should already know better than me about what to do next. ”

"Okay." Edge Changye raised his head and looked at Hikotsuki Hokusai with a serious face, and nodded slightly, "Since he wants to do this, then come on." ”

"But I'll tell you a word beforehand." Xie Yan's voice floated out of his heart again.

"What?"

"You probably won't be able to beat him."

……

Akatsuki Masaki curled up on the single sofa and watched the replay of the TV show.

The artists in the show were talking and laughing on the screen, and this joy also caused Akatsuki Masaki on the sofa to let out bursts of happy laughter.

"But it's a pity that I didn't catch up with the live broadcast." Masaki Xiao held the remote control in his arms, and while laughing enough, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Compared with TV shows, she really prefers the off-site audience interaction during live TV shows.

Although she has never been successful in calling the off-site interaction hotline, in her heart, this hope has always existed.

I want to watch my favorite TV show as an off-site audience. This is Akira Masaki's simple and simple desire as a modern person.

Other than that, she didn't ask for anything.

"Ahh Seeing a burst of laughing scenes that suddenly appeared on the TV show, Masaki Xiao sighed silently, "If I can, I really hope that this last pure land will not fall so easily." ”

But while complaining, Akira Masaki also understands that it is impossible to prevent such a thing from happening.

After all, the expansion and spread of popular culture cannot be stopped by one or two dissenting people, as Takeshi Masaki used to mention when he was studying memetics in a cultural media class at university.

"But even if it's just a little bit, I want to have such a pure land."

Akatsuki Masaki silently turned off the TV, plunging the room into darkness.

……

"Okay, then, since you think that my behavior just now has offended Mr. Nangong's majesty, then I accept your duel."

Edged Changya straightened up and said while staring at Hikotsuki Hokusai.

"But before I do that, I want to say sorry to Mr. Nangong Xiaya." Edge Changye turned his body to Nangong Xiaya and bowed in their standard posture, "I didn't expect this to be a burden to you when I handed out the weapon, I didn't think about it, I apologize to you." ”

"Ah, you don't have to be so formal." Nangong Xiaya's eyes lit up, and then he immediately replied, "It's my side that should apologize for the rudeness of my personal guard, he is a little too impulsive, and I hope you can understand." ”

"It's okay." "I can understand his feelings, it is the normal duty of every loyal minister to maintain the dignity of the lord, and you should be glad that you have such a loyal guard." ”

"Yes, but now that you've accepted his challenge to you, it's hard for me to mediate." Nangong Xiaya took a half step back and said with a smile, "But considering that we have already reached a settlement, this battle will be regarded as a competition and contest between the two of you, and there is no need to estimate my feelings." ”

What an old fox.

The edge of the long night thought in his heart as he responded.

You haven't come out to talk to me and Hikotsuki Hokusai for so long, but now that I've accepted it, you ran out to mediate or something, it seems that you want me to fight him, so you want to test my ability?

But if you want that, I'll give it to you.

"That's fine." Although the edge of the long night scolded the old fox in front of him countless times in his heart, he was still as respectful as he was just now on the surface, "I just don't know what Mr. Hikotsuki Hokusai thinks?" ”

Probably this is the so-called grin on the face and MMP in the heart.

"I only listen to the lord." Hikotsuki Hokusai's face and tone were the same as before, and his right hand holding the Industrial Morning Star did not shake at all.

"Then I'll arrange the duel between the two of you to take place in the martial arts arena in this Egret City." Nangong Xiaya said with a smile, "I'm also looking forward to what kind of duel the two of you can bring." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." On the edge, Changye clasped his hands into fists and saluted Nangong Xiaya.
