As a game with a medieval style and magical background, "Endless" adopts a large number of elements that have appeared in reality and history as embellishments of the rich game content.

In a duel, when there is a conflict or dispute between the two parties, and neither side gives in, cannot use or refuses to use words and law to solve the problem, the time and place are agreed, the witnesses are invited, and then the fist is used to determine the outcome of the dispute between the two parties.

In the context of civilization in the current game, if one party challenges and the other refuses to accept it, it can be considered shameful and cowardly, and prestige can be severely damaged to the point of declining social status.

In addition, the refusal of the dueling or the failure of the duel needs to bear the impact and loss caused by the duel on public places and public facilities, which often requires the payment of a "duel fee" and damages to the law enforcer who is the notary public of the duel.

The "duel money" is usually paid by the initiator of the duel, while the "indemnity" is paid by the loser, unless he dies in the duel, in which case it will be borne by the side that wins the duel and receives the spoils.

Of course, the rules and requirements for holding a duel are strict, and it must be consensual, and there must be a prerequisite for the duel, for example, for revenge.

At the same time, people with low social status initiate duels against people with high social status, even if the challenger agrees, the challenger needs to bear a very high price, for example, to pay a multiple of the "duel gold" to prevent some people who are dissatisfied with the society from arbitrarily initiating a duel against the upper class of the social status, and it is impossible to allow a duel with too large a status gap, for example, it is absolutely impossible for a beggar to launch a duel against the king.

In addition, there are many ways and rules for dueling, which are basically decided by both parties to the dueling, but there are two most commonly used:

Victory-loser: If one of the two sides of the duel voluntarily admits defeat, or loses its combat effectiveness due to injury, the duel is terminated.

Deathly: When one of the two sides of the duel dies, the duel ends.

What weapons to use during the duel, what means are forbidden, and what loot can be obtained after the duel is won or lost, are also decided by the parties to the duel.

In the Duchy of Andère, and throughout the continent of Kovaré, duels are seen as a means of civilized settlement of disputes, and the only way to resolve hatred outside of the laws of the principality.

However, being challenged by a loiterer as a low-level spellcaster was unfair to the vast majority of people, so the enforcers announced that a duel was allowed after making sure that both parties were consensual.

July Liuhuo nervously followed Sycamore's side, muttering and complaining about why Sycamore agreed to a duel, because as a spellcaster, he could reasonably refuse a duel in such an imbalance of power.

Wutong smiled and didn't explain anything, just handed the backpack to Saras, who had been following him, and only carried the very delicate-looking "cane" in his hand, for the vast majority of current spellcaster apprentices, it is an incredible thing to get a weapon, which will inevitably attract the attention of the vast majority of players of the caster profession present, and they are all speculating about the high-level "cane" in his hand, what special role it has.

After skillfully stating the relevant regulations, the temporary law enforcement guard looked at the two sides who planned to duel seriously: "Before the duel begins, do you have any meaning and requirements for the duel?" If not, I'll move on to the next steps. ”

"Yes! I ask for a deathmatch! Unlimited Deathmatch! The use of weapons, means and props is not prohibited"

The leader of the Wanderers of the "Canghai Guild" looked at Wutong with a sinister smile, and turned a battle dagger in his hand that looked like it should be of [sophisticated] quality.

The enforcer guard frowned, as an enforcer guard of the Venane Academy, he was already very unhappy that an outsider proposed a duel to the academy's spellcaster apprentice, and he even dared to propose a death match, didn't this guy know that every spellcaster apprentice was a very precious and rare treasure for the Venane Academy, and even for the Duchy of Andele?

But as a dueling notary, he couldn't take sides, so he had to look at Wutong and ask Wutong's opinion with his eyes, if this apprentice refused to fight to the death, although it might cause some damage to his reputation, but at least he could save his life. "I'm okay with that, but a duel can't just be a duel for no reason, right?" ”

Wutong looked at the other party with a smile: "You just said that if I lose and want to work for your Canghai Guild, then what should you do if you lose?" It's impossible to use a sentence that a large number of high-ranking people don't bother me anymore, right? ”

The leader of the wanderers sneered~, and looked at Wutong who was wearing an inconspicuous robe, and he was only wearing a transparent academy badge, which showed that this guy was just an apprentice who had just joined the Venane Academy, and he hadn't even taken up a formal mage profession!

A very weak legal officer at this stage, and a melee duel with a full-fledged loiterer class, he still expects to win? Originally, the duel was to make it clear that he was going to bully you a little crispy, but this guy was still panting.

"So what do you say?" The leader of the wanderers looked at Sycamore with disdain.

"Why do you want to add some more colors?"

Wutong smiled and said, the equipment used by both sides of the duel in the duel, when entering the duel, is defaulted to the loot, the winner can choose one piece from the other party at will, of course, if both sides agree, they can ask for more loot.

"What do you want?" The leader of the wanderers pretended to spread his hands generously: "We can say whatever you want." ”

Wutong glanced at him and the minions behind him, and shook his head, this guy still thought he wanted their equipment, what did he want with a bunch of rags? Why don't you get something affordable: "1000 gold, or the equivalent is fine!" ”

"He's crazy, isn't he?"

The onlookers around were shocked, what is the concept of 1000 gold, 1000 gold is equivalent to the total daily liquidity of a small guild of 1000 people!

The leader of the wanderers paused for a moment and said with a sneer: "Rookie! Do you know the rules of the duel? If you ask for loot, you need to have an equivalent property! Can you get 1,000 gold? ”

"Apprentice! Can you offer the equivalent amount of loot? ”

The enforcer guard glanced at Sycamore appreciatively, this spellcaster apprentice has a very flexible brain, huh? actually planned to use this method of making the opponent "retreat from the difficulty" to solve the dilemma, but unfortunately, he didn't seem to solve the rules of the fight.

"Do I need to hand it over to you in advance?"

Wutong gestured to Xiao Luo's appearance of Saras, and the elemental wind bat rummaged through Wutong's backpack for a while, took out a small cloth bag the size of a palm, and jumped in front of the enforcer guard, and handed him the small bag.

The crowd and the leader of the wanderers laughed, what could be in such a small bag? How can the volume of a thousand gold coins be a big bag!?

The Enforcer Guard, who tore open the small cloth bag and glanced at it, was stunned for a moment, then tightened the drawstring of the bag and nodded: "I prove as an enforcer that this apprentice can provide items of equivalent value to the loot he requested. ”

There was a quiet pause, and the leader of the enforcers was stunned, what was in that little bag? Is there a [Holy Gold Coins] worth 100 gold coins issued by the Temple of Worgold?

"Do you accept it?" The Enforcer guard asked impatiently, "If you don't accept it, or can't provide the equivalent amount of loot, then I will declare this duel ineffective!" ”

"Nope! I accept! ”

The leader of the wanderers gritted his teeth, and his eyes were a little red, which made it clear that he was sending money, why did Mao not accept it? I didn't expect this kid to really have some capital! Want to use this method to avoid a duel? No way!

As the Canghai Guild, which is known as the "eight million" member, although this group of wanderers is just a branch of the Canghai Guild, they are not even a hall at all, but after being assigned to the Principality of Ander by chance, a group of people gathered together, they still have some capital on hand.

Not to mention the strength of the large number of people, although the so-called eight million members have a lot of water, but the huge number of members is placed there, no matter how random they are teleported, they still gather in small groups with a large number of people in various places.

The boss gave an order, and the minions were all busy, digging out their pockets, calling people, and it took about ten minutes to get together items worth 1,000 gold coins, a lot of them, there were everything, most of them were actually all kinds of materials sold by the vendors under their control, don't count on cash, even if their guild has 1,000 gold coins of liquidity, they don't dare to put it all forward as collateral for gambling fights. After calling some NPC merchants in Dongdaji, after briefly evaluating the pile of mountain-like goods, they recognized that they were worth more than 1000 gold coins, and the enforcer guard nodded, and said to the leader of the wanderers: "According to the regulations, as the initiator of the duel, you need to pay 1 gold coin for the duel, but as a [warrior], you need to pay a challenge fee of 30 gold coins for launching a duel challenge to the [Sixth Rank Sir], in addition, I have to inform you that you need to pay the following additional challenge money:

As a noble caster, you need to pay an additional 10 gold coins as a punishment;

The apprentice, as a [Trainee Mage], is a talent that has been trained by the Academy, and you will need to pay an additional 20 gold coins as a punishment;

This apprentice has the status of the current [Chief of the Protection Department] of the Venane Academy, and you will need to pay an additional 50 gold coins in the challenge gold;

This apprentice has the status of the current [Chief of the Spell Department] of the Venane Academy, and you will need to pay an additional 50 gold coins in the challenge gold;

The apprentice has:

So, you'll have to pay a total of 510 coins. ”

Listening to the enforcer guard repeating the same sentence nine times like a jammed repeater, not only the leader of the wanderers was dumbfounded, but the surrounding onlookers were dumbfounded, and even Wutong himself was in a cold sweat! He didn't expect that the duel would cause the Enforcer Guards to reveal his identity and title, the question was how did he know?

It wasn't until Wutong glanced down at the academy badge on his chest that he understood, these enforcer guards, there must be some way to read the player's identity, but this one was accidentally exposed, it seems that the appearance is a little too high-profile, right?

It's hard to imagine what trouble this incident will cause for Sycamore

The surrounding players were in an uproar: "Wow! This guy is one of the people who took up the post of [trainee mage] before he left the island? No wonder he has the nobility of [Sir of the Sixth Rank]! ”

"**A little focused, okay!? [Apprentice Mage] and [Sir 6] are a lot of hair? It's mainly the [chief] status! ”

"Uh, what does [the chief] do? Haven't heard of it? Did you know? ”

"Nonsense! I don't know? I'm a seminary pastor, okay! Anyway, we haven't heard anything about [the chief] at the seminary."

"Hey, hey! Who in your law school knows? ”

"Law school hasn't heard of what [chief] is?"

Of course, no one knows, there are only twelve countries with academies in the Kovare Continent, and there are only two or three large academies in each country that are qualified to elect the school chiefs, if you count that each country has eight chiefs, the whole continent combined, there are only two or three hundred [chiefs] who exist, and these players who can become [chiefs], which one is not a secret weapon cultivated by large guilds and other forces at great expense? Of course, it is impossible to actively publicize your secrets to the outside world!

So, the term [chief] is unheard of among ordinary players! If it were other colleges, maybe because there were other [chiefs], and some people would know that the eight department chiefs of the Wienern Academy had all been wiped out by Wutong alone, so no one except him knew what the identity of [chief] was for.

In addition, Wutong, who has obtained the chief of the eighth department, has a secret that only he knows, and he doesn't dare to tell others at all, that is, in the process of island hopping, in order to search for the [apprenticeship] of the Venane Academy, he doesn't know how many islands he jumped, and he got a lot of chief certificates similar to the [apprenticeship], which he didn't use at all, that is to say, although the Sycamore is only the chief of the eighth department of the Venane Academy, but the [chief] quota destroyed in his hands, I don't know how many!

This kind of thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to himself, Wutong himself must not dare to reveal it, if it is known that he occupies the pit and does not, it is estimated that all the caster players of "Endless" will have to fight with him!

"510 Gold Coins ???"

The leader of the Wanderers of the Canghai Guild screamed and jumped up like a cat that had been kicked up and pumped a chrysanthemum, and his eyes were about to burst! Is this guy made of gold? If you want to duel him, you actually have to pay 510 gold for the challenge?

Unmoved, the law enforcer guard swept him with a grim look: "Accept?" ”

Under the gaze of the spectators, the leader of the wanderers suddenly felt a lot of psychological pressure! He gritted his teeth and glared at Sycamore, this guy must have done it on purpose! He must have done it on purpose! That's why he asked for 1,000 gold coins! In order to drain the savings in their hands, so that they can't challenge him, and reasonably avoid the loss of their reputation for refusing to fight! , He threatened Wutong to want him wanted by the whole "Endless", but in fact, it was just a bluff that pretended to be a momentum, and the "Canghai" guild was indeed huge, but now it is no longer the era when Satan, known as the "public enemy of the people", was in charge of "Canghai".

The "eight million wicked people" who swept the online game industry back then have long since collapsed into a plate of scattered sand, and the forces in the name of the "Canghai" guild alone are afraid that there are hundreds! Even many forces that claim to be the "Canghai" guild have nothing to do with the former "Canghai" guild at all!

The leader of the wanderers, their branch, even simply hugged the thigh of a splinter force of the "Canghai" guild and put his name on the outside, and his qualifications are wanted by others?

"This guy is so fearless, can he see through it?"

He suddenly felt at a loss in his heart, and besides, the unheard-of [chief] identity also brought him a trace of pressure, but he had no way out, and took the initiative to propose a duel, but because he couldn't afford to pay the challenge money, he retreated in disgrace? Does he still want the boss's face? How will you convince the public in the future? Is the guild still going to grow? With so many spectators around, who wants to join them after the news spreads?

"Damn! Fight! 1000 gold coins of gambling gold! No matter how powerful he is, he is just a spellcaster apprentice, and he hasn't even reached the first order, so where can he go? ”

The leader of the wanderers gritted his teeth and used the guild's daily liquidity to hand over the 510 gold coins to the Enforcer Guards.

"Then, I declare, the duel begins!"

As he spoke, he retreated to the edge of the cleared clearing, and stared at the two people in the field with sharp eyes.

Almost as soon as the Enforcer Guard said the beginning, the leader of the Wanderers smirked, and instantly threw out a short dagger at Sycamore, and with a shake of his body, he rushed towards Sycamore at an extremely high speed!

Interrupt casting!

"Despicable!"

For the leader of the wanderer to deal with a spellcaster apprentice, he actually used such a despicable tactic, the players around him were speechless, and the players with high vision had already seen that the leader of the wanderer of the Canghai Guild was already level 1 and level 5, and the equipment on the whole body was at least a level 0 and level 20 suit of [excellent] quality!

Especially the battle long dagger in his hand, at first glance, it looks like a first-order weapon produced by a certain dungeon, with his luxurious configuration, to deal with the caster's apprentice, he actually has to use a sneak attack, which shows how bad the souls of the Canghai Guild are.

However, many players can understand the mood of this wanderer leader, although it is a sure victory, the 0th level spellcaster apprentice has no chance of winning against the 1st level wanderer, but the series of names of this apprentice mage just now has brought him great pressure.

None of the people who were able to successfully take up the position of [trainee mage] before leaving the island were fuel-efficient lamps, plus this guy was so calm, maybe there was some killer feature, in order to prevent any reversal, he would rather not be cheeky Well, they who are marked by the "Canghai" guild, what bad things are there not to do?

If it is said that when you are on the 0th level, ascending 1 level is equivalent to stepping up a step, then 1st level, for the 0th level, is equivalent to directly ascending a floor, no matter how many steps the 0 level player climbs, you can only look up to the 1st level player who has climbed the next level.

At the time of the 0th level, everyone is judged by the level and skill number, the level of proficiency to judge the strength, the 10th level of the player is not possible to kill the 20th level player in the PK, but the 0th level 20 player, in the face of the 1st level 0 player, although there is only a thin layer of "membrane" in the middle, but there is no comparison between each other at all!

This is not a gap in strength, but a gap between the level of the profession and the height of the profession, after the official inauguration of the player, although the attributes have not changed much, but the advantage obtained from the characteristics of the profession is too big, and it is not a gap that the level can make up for.
