432 High Stake-1- [3 chapters 1/3]

The feud between "Secret Shadow" and "Canghai" started from the time when it was on the Island of Trials, although it was just a trivial friction, but with the consistent domineering style of the "Canghai" guild, it was already very polite if it didn't provoke you, not to mention that someone provoked them.

Although the "Canghai" guild collapsed and split into large and small guilds, its original concept of "human surnames are evil" has still been continued and faithfully implemented by its "descendants", and the "Zodiac" guild alliance is the most publicized group of descendants of "Canghai".

The boss of the "Capricorn Guild Alliance" "Sha Jiluo", one of the original "Canghai" guild cadres, was randomly teleported to the Principality of Ander after the opening of the big world, because of the huge number of members under his name, coupled with the help of the "Scorpion Guild Alliance" and the "Taurus Guild Alliance" of the same ancestry, he quickly gained a foothold in the Principality of Ander, and is now one of the leading forces in the Principality of Ander.

If it is said that it is also wronged, the friction between Wutong and the members of the "Canghai" guild is actually just a small thing, if it is according to the past practice, this kind of thing is impossible to be handled by the guild managers at the level of Sajiro, but after Wutong came to Adele, he had a conflict with the branch guild under the name of the "Capricorn Guild" that was developing and expanding, and simply disbanded the wanted branch of others, so that even if the two sides formed a mortal enmity.

After that, several assassinations, ambushes and sneak attacks by the personnel of the "Capricorn Guild" ended in failure, and the losses caused finally attracted the attention of Sha Jiluo, but if he knew, Wutong had never taken their revenge to heart, and even forgot that there was such a thing, I don't know if he would vomit blood in anger

With the "Secret Shadow" under the unintentional blind manipulation of Wutong, it is very incomprehensible and rapid development, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, although it is not outstanding in terms of combat power and manpower, but in terms of business operation, it has always had a leading advantage, whether it is the "Secret Shadow Chamber of Commerce" hosted by Uncle Housekeeper, or the "No. 44 Secret Law Store" that Wutong himself tosses to earn pocket money, the strength shown has shocked countless chaebols and business groups!

The small "Secret Law Shop" located on Mercenary Street is easy to understand, after all, as long as you have the citizenship and social status of the Principality of Adele, you can lease and buy and sell "real estate", plus you have some relationship with the Mercenary Guild, you can't rent a store from the Mercenary Guild in the form of lease.

The major forces are already working hard in this area, although they have not been able to obtain the store for the time being, but some people have successfully put their own products in the supply stores in the mercenary guild branches in various towns for consignment sales, although there is no money to make by themselves, but there is a breakthrough.

However, the formation of a chamber of commerce recognized by the strength of the aborigines requires formal business procedures, otherwise it will not be possible to conduct commercial operations on the Kovare continent at all, but what is puzzling is how they have the official business certificate recognized by the aborigines when the majority of players have not left the trial island?

All of this shown by "Secret Shadow" makes the forces that plan to develop in the Principality of Adele feel threatened, but they can only helplessly watch "Secret Shadow Chamber of Commerce" further show the strength and trend of monopolizing the player market, even if they succeed in taking root in Ander in the future, I am afraid that in terms of economy, they can only be suppressed by "Secret Shadow Chamber of Commerce".

This forced the well-developed and powerful "Capricorn Guild" in Fairhaven City to be a little uneasy, and tried to attack and suppress the "Secret Shadow Guild" through various methods and means, but it was never effective, coupled with the large investment of the "Secret Shadow Guild" in Aoraon New City, it has laid an unbreakable foundation for them.

It is no longer realistic to want to attack the "Secret Shadow Guild" from this aspect, so they can only take the risk of taking the edge of the sword and directly deal with the core members of the "Secret Shadow Guild", as long as they can break them up, or suppress the development of their prestige in Fairhaven, they will have the opportunity to be gradually recognized by the Adele aboriginal forces in the battle with the "Secret Shadow Guild", and may even take the place to snatch all kinds of money-making deals from them.

The best way is undoubtedly to force the leader of the other party to duel by formal means, this kind of duel between nobles, in addition to hitting the prestige of the leader of the other party and making him "ruined", can also allow his own members to take advantage of the situation to become famous in one fell swoop, and successfully step into the upper class of Andell's aboriginal society, with prestige, it will be much easier to do a lot of things.

Fortunately, the boss of the "Capricorn Guild", Sajiro, with the support of the brother guild, spent a lot of guild resources and financial resources, and finally succeeded in obtaining the award of the Andre royal family and became a nobleman, so that he had the qualification to challenge the opponent's boss to a duel, which led to the scene in front of him.

In order to find out who is the boss behind the "Secret Shadow" guild, "Capricorn Guild" has spent a lot of tricks, but fortunately, this time the battle of Auraon has finally exposed the other party, although the information obtained is not detailed enough, but it can also be known that the boss of the other party is called "Wutong", and like Sagaro, he is also a junior mage member of the Venanen Academy.

Speaking of this, Sha Luo is also very skeptical, you must know that to obtain the status of "trainee mage" with him, as soon as he enters the Venane Academy, the starting point is a cut above that of other players, and they are all characters who know the roots, after all, without the support of strong enough forces, it is too difficult for the mage profession to get out on its own.

So usually the mages with good strength are cultivated by various guilds and forces, but none of them have heard of this guy called "Wutong", and no one knows that he is supported by that force, this guy is as mysterious as popping out of a crack in a stone.

The duel between the two nobles was supposed to take place in the royal arena, and it was even reported to the royal family of Andele that the royal family would send someone to preside over the duel, and a large number of nobles and noblewomen would attend the ceremony, which was very attractive in the Middle Ages, when entertainment was scarce.

However, the two nobles in front of them didn't seem to intend to be so troublesome, but decided to solve it on the spot as if they had a deep hatred, and the enforcer knights who rushed to the scene had no choice but to temporarily decide the outcome of the duel for the two nobles in the open space next to the avenue.

However, before the duel, when the two parties agreed on a bet, something went wrong.

Generally speaking, the duel form is divided into a variety, but the commonly used only "victory" and "death", in the aboriginal practice, non-murderous parents, silver wives and daughters and other mortal enemies, generally speaking, no nobleman will choose a death-style duel, the royal family does not want to see the nobles under their hands die today, tomorrow one dies, although it is not prohibited, but it is not advocated that the nobles carry out a death match, and a certain amount of restraint and punishment is imposed on it, for example, the "duel gold" between the nobles is raised.

But among the players, who cares about "death"? It's time for the duel, how can you get rid of your anger if you don't kill the other party? Therefore, in the player class, once a duel occurs, it is basically a deathmatch, but the rules of deathmatch are stricter than that of a winner-type duel.

"Lord Sagaro, are you sure you want to launch a death duel against Baron Sycamore?" The Enforcer Knight solemnly followed the rules of the duel and inquired.

The group of "Capricorn Guild" was stunned, baron?

It was only after a long bang that Sha Luo came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! ”

"So are you willing to take on the dueling money for a [third-class baron] as a [Lord of the Sixth Rank]?"

"Yes!"

"Okay! Then please pay the duel gold of 10,000 standard gold coins according to the rules, and since your title is five levels lower than Baron Sycamore, please pay an additional penalty of 200,000 standard gold coins. ”

The onlookers gasped, the duel gold is the official fee handed over by both sides of the duel, usually paid by the duel initiator, and the person with a low status challenges the person with a high status, and needs to pay an additional penalty to the challenged, otherwise, the person with a high status will have nothing to do with a poor ghost to play hard? This is also a means to restrict those poor who can't survive, and who have nothing to do and take risks to challenge the high nobles to earn money and spend.

[Inferior nobles] are divided into three levels of [Jazz], [Quasi-Lord], and [Lord], a total of three levels and eighteen levels, the minimum duel gold of the [Jazz] rank is 100 gold coins, and the rank difference in the same rank pays an additional penalty of 100 gold coins, while [Quasi-Lord] rises to 1,000 and [Lord] 10,000.

Although Sagara became a nobleman through various means, he was only a [second-class noble], and although he was a [sixth-class lord] with a higher status among the [second-class nobles], there was still a gap between him and the [third-class baron] of Wutong, there were still several classes such as [fifth-class lord], [fourth-class lord], [third-class lord], [second-class lord], [first-class lord], [quasi-baron], and [third-class baron].

He had to pay a penalty of 50,000 gold coins for the [Lord] title alone, and when he reached the [Quasi-Baron] title, he had to pay an additional 50,000 fines, and [3rd Baron] had to pay an additional 100,000 fines, and before the fight began, he had to pay 210,000 duel costs!

Sajiro almost didn't faint, he used the resources and manpower of the entire "Capricorn Guild", and it took so long that it was not easy for him to upgrade the [Sixth Rank Sir] title he obtained because of his mage profession to the upper level of the [Inferior Nobles], thanks to various coincidences and the completion of various tasks.
