Chapter 22 - Duel I

Before evening, Lu Ming put on a set of black knights that had been cleaned several times in Yusaha's room in the lord's mansion, with the help of Yousaha and Lily.

"How do I look like this? You alright? Holding the black knight's helmet, Lu Ming stood in front of a huge mirror and asked Yusaha and Lily behind him.

Yu Saha looked around Lu Ming for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's okay." It's just that the armor looks weird. Not as handsome as some of Mirakaisa's high-grade armor. ”

"Wow Kao! Isn't this handsome? After that, I can only get a set of French. Hearing Yu Saha say that the black knight was not handsome, Lu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback, looked at himself in the mirror a little depressed, and said a little unhappily.

"Don't make a fuss. Wait until the duel begins! Lili, who was standing on the side and watching, walked up to Lu Ming, looked at him, and asked a little worriedly, "What do you think about fighting a swordsman?" ”

Hearing Lily's question, Lu Ming frowned slightly, looked at the duel table that had been built outside the window, and the magicians who were adding some enchantments to the platform, and said with some annoyance: "To be honest, I don't know what the concept of a swordsman is at all. After all, I don't understand how warriors are ranked. Is it relying on those colorful, bells and whistles of vindictiveness, or is it swordsmanship?"

"I don't know how the warrior ranks are divided?" When You Saha heard Lu Ming's words, he paused slightly, and then began to explain to Lu Ming with a smile: "The division of warriors is actually very easy to understand. In addition, it is divided by gangqi! ”

"Gang gas?"

"Yes, Gangqi. What are you talking about, I don't know what it is. However, the warriors of Mirakaisa all rely on their own research on a certain weapon to reach a certain level, and obtain the corresponding qi to divide the ranks! ”

"When a warrior who doesn't have a Gang Qi cultivates a weapon to a certain level, he will produce a Gang Qi. And at this time, the warrior became a second-order fighter! And when the Gang Qi condenses to the point where it can be attached to the weapon and can slash out the sharp sword qi, the fighter will achieve the great feat of the swordsman! ”

"Besides, swordsmanship is just a general term. If a swordsman uses a spear, he is called a spearman, a hammer is called a hammerman, a whip is called a whipman, and so on. So swordsmanship is just a saying, and the real title still depends on what weapon the other party uses. ”

"Finally! There are two things scary about swordsmanship. First, it is the fierce anger on their bodies. Relying on Gang Qi, the swordsman was able to unleash a powerful sword qi slash. Ordinary armor can easily be torn apart! Second, it's their own powerful swordsmanship! Warriors are experts at playing with weapons, and martial arts will always be something they practice. They are not magicians, they are not archers, and their face-to-face, blood-drenched fights have always been the favorite of warriors! So remember, you are a magician and never compete with a warrior in swordsmanship. Even if you have an unimaginable treasure like the crystalline rappier! ”

Listening to You Saha's explanation, Lu Ming was slightly silent.

With 120 mana, you can cast so many spells. If the swordsman really can't fight hard in close combat, as Yusaha said, he will probably be suppressed by the opponent's fierce swordsmanship to the point where he can't drink the original ash bottle! Then every magic can only be used after careful calculation. But will the other party give this time?

"Sheriff Lu Ming, the duel is about to begin, please go to the area used for the duel!" While Lu Ming was thinking about this, a maid from the Lord's Mansion came to Yu Saha's room, knocked on the door, and shouted to Lu Ming inside.

In this way, Lu Ming kissed Lily and Yusaha, then poured a bottle of original ash and put on the helmet, holding Pihaim's magic wand in one hand and crystallizing the thin sword in the other, and followed the maid out of the lord's mansion. Lily and Yusaha followed him from a distance, watching him walk to the side of the dueling table under the guidance of the maid.

When Lu Ming walked out in the black knight's armor, the nobles around the platform began to whisper.

"The texture of that armor doesn't seem to be ordinary!"

"It looks like it's blackened by some kind of flame, but you can see that it's a good thing."

"If you take it out for auction, there should be tens of thousands of gold coins!"

"There should be more than that. Judging from some traces on that armor, this armor is at least tens of thousands of years old! ”

"Won't it?" "How is that possible!?" "How could something so good exist tens of thousands of years ago?"

They hadn't seen that armor, and almost all the conversation revolved around the black knight's armor. As for the magic wand and the crystalline rapian, there is almost no one among these nobles who really knows how to appreciate treasures. I can't see what kind of strength such an incomparable treasure as the crystalline sword has!

Standing at one end of the platform, which was dozens of times larger than when he was in Hellas Village, Lu Ming ignored the words of those nobles talking about his black knight's armor, and looked intently at a young knight with blond hair and blue eyes who was about the same age as him, dressed in precious armor, and holding two long swords at the other end of the platform.

I have to say that Lu Ming is still a little stressed against such a genius-level swordsman.

One is a high-profile genius, and the other is a family squatting magic apprentice who has crossed over, and the difference between the two is too much!

If it weren't for the fact that this duel was set by Viscount Alta on behalf of the Grand Duke of Errebos, and if he didn't participate, he would have died, Lu Ming actually didn't want to participate in this unlucky duel at all.

However, out of the resentment that he had been calculated so many times, but that person was covered up, Lu Ming stood on the duel platform without hesitation. Moreover, there are fewer things like genius that traversers have defeated?

"The two people who are on the stage now, one is a genius who became a swordsman at the age of twenty-two, Lichardt Wendersland! One is the local sheriff, Lu Ming! They will have a duel today! For a glimmer of truth in my heart! Now, salute both sides and start the duel! "With the explanations of the nobles who almost regarded duels as entertainment, the barrier on the dueling table to prevent magic and sword energy from slashing out of the arena and accidentally injuring the masses was activated. A transparent bubble suddenly enveloped the entire table.

At this time, Lu Ming and Likat also performed the knightly salute and the other held the immortal squad salute and saluted each other.

"Duel! Begin! ”

Under the referee's order, both sides of the salute put away their respective etiquette in an instant, stepped on the platform hard, and rushed towards each other with an arrow step.

"Didn't you tell him not to play melee combat with swordsmans? Why is he still like this! As soon as he saw Lu Ming rushing towards Licat, Yu Saha was shocked and subconsciously complained.

The countess, who was sitting not very far away from her, watching the duel, snorted slightly.

Viscount Saldalore glanced at the countess whose eyes were full of frost, and smiled: "Lord Count Thatch, what do you think this magic apprentice is up to?" ”

"I don't know, a lot of them should want to commit suicide, right?"

The countess, as always, is not optimistic about Lu Ming, who was born as a commoner, but Viscount Saldalore is not like this, he is very optimistic about Lu Ming. So I couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't think much!" I think he must have had his own ideas before he chose to melee with Lycart, a swordsman! ”

Hearing Viscount Saldarlo's words, the nobles around him fell silent. They are not optimistic about Lu Ming like the countess, but they are not good at slapping the future Grand Duke in the face, right?

After taking the first step, Lu Ming and Likat rushed towards each other quickly.

When they were about to collide, Lu Ming violently swung the thin sword in his hand and stabbed Likat into his body. And Likat used a long sword to open Lu Ming's thin sword spur, and at the same time waved another long sword, looking at Lu Ming.

"It's over." Seeing this scene, Viscount Hatu in the audience laughed.

But in the next moment, Lu Ming gave everyone who had the same idea as Viscount Hatu a resounding slap in the face!

"Flange Sword!" At the moment when Lichard's long sword was about to take a fancy to him, Lu Ming violently swung the Perheim magic wand in his other hand, and used the blue soul long sword that suddenly stretched out from the top of the magic wand to cut off Licat's long sword in one fell swoop!

Licat who was slightly surprised jumped, retreated to a distance away from Lu Ming in a few clicks, looked at the soul sword on the magic wand with some vigilance, and glanced at his own long sword that had not yet been broken, and saw that it was eroded by an unknown force, and there was a little sign of crystallization.

"With a sword in one hand and a magic wand in the other, you shouldn't be a magician from Mira Kaisa or a nearby country. They don't have the courage to treat magicians like soldiers! Licat casually threw away the long sword that had been severed, and while taking out a new long sword from a certain space object, he pointed the long sword at Lu Ming and asked, "In your hometown, there should be a lot of magicians, right?" ”

"I'm from the Cold Valley, but I also learned magic in the Magic Kingdom of Perheim. It was a strange place, and everyone knew some kind of magic. And those who don't know magic are only slaves! In order to make himself look taller, Lu Ming said some of his understanding of Piheim.

"If you can't learn magic, will you be turned into a slave? Anyway, the ruler of the magic kingdom must also be a powerful magician, right? ”

"In Piheim, the real rulers are the teachers of the Dragon Academy. Kings and nobles are nothing more than puppets. ”

Lu Ming's words caused a riot among the nobles in the audience, and they couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying scene it would be for a country where the nobles were puppets controlled by an academy.

"Because you're used to the environment where nobles are puppets, don't you have the slightest respect for you and the other nobles?" Listening to the aristocrats around him cursing Piheim's Dragon Academy, Viscount Saldaro laughed happily. looked at Lu Ming's eyes, and became more and more appreciative-

Today is still three watches.
