Chapter 24: The Duel on the Ship
King Leoric had a happy family, he had a beautiful and gentle wife, Asira, and Asila bore him two sons, the eldest son was named Aidan, although he was only in his early twenties, but he was already a well-known warrior, he had a handsome face, and his every move was full of aristocratic elegance, and he was a perfect heir. The youngest son, named Eberlecht, is just seven years old, and is a lively and mischievous mischievous trickster, who is curious about everything, and if he is not careful, he will run away without a trace.
Leorik and his family were devout members of the Holy Church, and Leorik did not know why the Church had chosen him as King of Canduras, but he knew that since he had accepted this glorious appointment, he would do his best to make the people there live happily ever after and spread the gospel of Akarat to all corners. While Leoric was pondering where to go on this trip, his childhood friend, Archbishop Lazarus of the Cathedral of Light, walked over and smiled at Leoric, "Are you feeling okay?" My friend, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, you are already about to become a king! ”
"yes, I can't believe it, but I feel good, and I believe we can make Canduras a paradise!" Leorick said proudly.
"You're right, friend. But have you figured out where we're going to reclaim our paradise this time? Lazarus asked.
"Well, I'm thinking about it. Canduras is a vast country, but divided into two parts by the Tymo Mountains, mostly plains to the west and the Aranok Desert to the east, and I think we should make our capital on the plains to the west, near the Bay of Westmar, with its excellent harbor and fertile land, which under our rule will soon become a metropolis that surpasses Westmar! Leorik said excitedly.
"I'm afraid that won't work, my king," said Lazarus, shaking his head, "and my colleagues in the Council of the Supreme Council have carefully studied that it is not a suitable place to spread the radiance of my God, and even if it is good, it is not God's guidance. ”
Leorik frowned and asked suspiciously, "So, my friend, tell me, where is the place where the light of God is visiting?" ”
"Tristram. God is directing us there! That's where our business begins! Lazarus said excitedly.
Hearing the name, Leorik fell into a puzzle: "Tristram? Forgive me, Archbishop, for you are closer to God than I am, but I do not know of such a place in Canduras, and I ask you to indicate where the holy place is. Leorik spread out the map.
"This is here, to the west of the Aranok Desert, to the west of Bravel, this is the land of the gods!" Lazarus gave Leoric guidance.
Leorik was a little dissatisfied, and said, "My archbishop, I never knew there was a small town there, but, with all due respect, I don't see anything special about it. Leorik still preferred to have his capital near Westmar Bay, and he hoped to become a wise king for future generations to pass on and do great things.
"No, you are wrong, my king, good harbors and fertile lands can be pursued, but the favor of my God is hard to find. Only with God's guidance can we succeed, otherwise, we will achieve nothing! The archbishop advised Leorek.
Leorik was still a little unwilling, but he also knew that his expedition could not be separated from the strong support of the church, and he was a devout believer himself, so he must pay attention to the opinion of the church.
"Well, my archbishop, I think that land may really be suitable for us to visit, and we will talk about this later, I will go and rest." With that, Leorik turned around and walked into the cabin in a somewhat dejected manner.
"Hmph, Leoric, you can't refuse me, your graveyard god has already chosen for you, obediently meet your fate!" Looking at Leoric's back, Lazarus smiled wickedly and pinched the black beads in his hand that exuded an aura of charm.
Life on the ship is relatively monotonous, in addition to participating in the training organized by the Grand Commander Lakdanan every day, the rest is to blow the sea breeze and exercise at will, this ship can not support his high-intensity training.
During the training camp, Liszt unexpectedly saw King Leoric's eldest son Aidan also in the queue, meticulously and rigorously training. Sure enough, as rumored to be, Liszt could feel that Aidan was a powerful warrior, and he even had the aura of magic on his body, and it seemed that he had also practiced spiritual power.
Although Aidan is much older than him and has high strength, in Liszt's eyes, Aidan is just a stronger person now, and there is no threat to him. If the two fight, he is confident that he will shoot Aidan into a sieve before he gets close.
However, what made Liszt feel even more threatened was the archbishop who was talking to King Leorik on the side, I don't know why, he always felt that something was wrong with the bishop, and from time to time there was an aura of disgust on his body, I don't know if it was his delusion. However, since the archbishop came from the decaying Sanhedrin, Liszt decided to pay more attention to him.
While Liszt was pondering, Prince Aidan walked up to Liszt and said, "Hello, soldier, I'm Aidan and I didn't ask for your name?" ”
Liszt's thoughts were interrupted, and looking at the good-meaning prince in front of him, he was a little puzzled: "It's okay to call me Liszt, it's an honor to meet you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Aidan waved his hand and said: "Just call me Aidan , I can see that you are a powerful warrior, how about it, are you interested in competing with me, I like to fight with powerful people." ”
Liszt didn't expect Aidan to suddenly challenge him, but he also felt bored these days, and two moves with this eye-catching warrior could relieve his boredom, Liszt thought about it and decided to use only his dagger, after all, it was just a competition, and if he used a bow and arrow, Aidan would have no chance.
"Yes, I hope you will give me advice." Liszt drew the dagger from his waist and saluted Aidan.
Gradually, the surrounding soldiers all discovered what two people were going to do, one was the world-famous warrior Aidan, and the other was the mysterious and mysterious Liszt, who didn't seem to be easy to mess with, their duel made them bored excited, and they surrounded them with friends, and even King Leorrick on the side was attracted by the movement here, put down the conversation with Lazarus, and looked curiously at the duel between his son and another younger guard, Leorik knew that Aidan could only agree with each other, will challenge the other party, but there are only a handful of people who can get his approval, and why can that young man who doesn't look good-looking make Aidan impressed? Leorik was in the mood to take a good look at the duel. "By the way, this child belongs to the Emmen family, it seems to be Roland's godson." Leoric looked at Liszt's oriental face and suddenly remembered this special person.
On the other side, Liszt and Aidan stood opposite each other, and after saluting each other, they pulled out their respective weapons, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and in the air, a tense breath came to the face, making people dare not exhale.
Aidan looked at Liszt who was standing with his hands down, tightened the sword in his hand, let out a roar, and instantly bullied up, slashing straight at Liszt's face.
Liszt has always maintained a high level of vigilance, and in battle, no matter what the strength of his opponent, he never let his guard down, which is the best treasure given to him by three years of fighting. Looking at this overwhelming momentum, Liszt was not flustered, raised his hand and blocked it with a dagger.
"Boom!" The two divine soldiers collided fiercely, Aidan slashed with one hand, and Liszt also blocked with one hand, but it was clear that Liszt was defeated in this round. As a powerful warrior, Prince Aidan is naturally powerful, and although he is not strong, he is full of explosive power. This simple slash, Liszt could parry, as if crumbling, but Aidan was shocked, he was the first time he had encountered someone who could take him with one hand, even if it was the commander of Rakdanan, under this blow, he would lose resistance.
The crowd of onlookers could see very few of them, and most of them thought that Aidan had won, and they couldn't help but applaud loudly, and even Leorik laughed proudly.
Liszt resisted Aidan's slash once, just to see how strong this prince was. I got a rough estimate in my heart, and Liszt will not wrestle with Aidan, you know, Liszt's biggest feature is his speed!
I saw Liszt suddenly slanted the dagger, unloaded the long sword to the side, and instantly appeared behind Aidan in a ghostly posture, and the dagger in his hand pierced Aidan in the back of the heart.
Aidan had also been honed in the battle between life and death, subconsciously parrying back and blocking the deadly thrust. However, this was only the beginning of Liszt's stormy attack.
In the face of most enemies, Liszt likes to kill with one hit, because Liszt's ghostly speed often makes the enemy decapitate before he can react. But in the face of a strong man like Aidan who still has the power to parry, Liszt changed his tactics - he activated the "acceleration" state, and for a while, Liszt's speed skyrocketed again, and the speed of swinging the dagger was dizzying, and Aidan could only see a burst of afterimages attacking him, and he could only resist it, without any chance to fight back at all.
In fact, for Liszt, Aidan was already full of flaws under his stormy oppressive attacks, and if it were a life-and-death duel, Aidan would have died a long time ago. However, since it was a duel match, Liszt decided to end it with Aidan's weapon flying away.
I saw that Liszt secretly stored his strength, condensed the fierce power of thunder and lightning on the dagger, and then raised his hand violently to strike, and the lightning-like attack directly destroyed Aidan's defense, and the power of thunder and lightning paralysis also made Aidan unable to hold the long sword,
"Bang dang!" Seeing that Aidan's longsword fell far away on the deck, Liszt saluted the sluggish Aidan, turned around and went back to the cabin, leaving behind a group of stunned soldiers who had not yet realized what was happening, and Leorick, whose smugness had not completely faded from his face......
