Chapter 120: Don't pretend, I hear your stomach growling
Laura's opponent in the first round was average in strength and not high in rank, but after some initial testing, Laura exploded and knocked her opponent down without much effort to achieve the final victory.
Although the game was won, Laura was not very happy, just now I saw Du Ang sneaking over with a few dog legs to stand under the ring to watch, and applauding and shouting Come on, but why is it that all the work is gone in a blink of an eye? Am I so unattractive to fight in the ring? Is it that ugly? Duang, you, you...... You're mad at me!
came and went, it was better not to come at all, this coming and leaving made Miss Laura, who was crazy and liked to show off her strength in front of acquaintances, was particularly unhappy.
What about people?
Where did you go?
Anyway, it's okay to be idle now, there is still a long time before the second round, Laura got out of the ring and began to look for Duang and them everywhere, wanting to ask him why he suddenly left after seeing half of it, what did he think? Deliberately angry with me, isn't it?
Compared with the beginning, there are many fewer people in the player area, and the people who were eliminated in the first round just now have left with a suffocated heart. Laura walked around several times, but didn't see Duang, not even one of his men, Laura wondered, there will be a game in a while, what are you running blindly?
Laura simply came to wait for the rabbit and waited under the ring, thinking that no matter what you do, you have to come back to participate when the second round starts, right? Hmph, I don't believe I can't stop you.
However, what Laura didn't understand was that until the start of the second round, Duang still didn't come back.
Du Ang's opponent in the second round was a knight, level six, he was ready to wait for Du Ang in the ring early, but he didn't come to the left and didn't come to the right, this knight couldn't help but ask the referee next to him: "What did that magician do?" You can't keep me waiting, can you? β
The referee was also very depressed, and there had never been such a situation so far in the game. After waiting for about ten minutes, after asking for instructions, the referee finally announced that Du Ang had abstained, and his opponent, the sixth-level knight, won without a fight and entered the next round of the game.
Laura had been watching from the audience, and she was going crazy.
Duon, what did you do?
Is there anything more important than playing in the ring?
For Duang's bad behavior of not taking the game seriously, Laura gritted her teeth angrily.
Fortunately, it will soon be her turn to play, otherwise if she stays like this for a while, Laura's beautiful white teeth may have been crushed by herself.
Laura's opponent in the second round is a samurai, and his strength is also inferior to Laura, which is also considered unlucky for this brother, and now Laura has no place to release the evil fire in his stomach, so he will reward him all.
Needless to say, after the game started, Laura didn't even have the ability to test it, she rushed over directly, and hit the poor samurai with a violent beating, and the stormy attack almost made the samurai breathless.
In a word, in the second round, Laura won again.
The competition was divided into three days, and today there were only the first two rounds, and after the match, Laura jumped out of the ring and went straight home, getting angry as she went.
However, Laura herself also muttered a little in her heart, although Du Ang is her rightful fiancΓ©, but she has no feelings for him, and even very disgusted, what's wrong with her today? Why do you care so much if he's watching him play? Why do you care so much about what he's doing?
Angry!
What kind of madness am I!
What does he have to do with me?
In a daze, Laura came to her doorstep, the Marquis Solomon's Palace.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Laura was stunned, for she saw a carriage at the door, the same one her parents, Marquis Solomon, and his wife had been riding in.
"Are you going out?" Laura was a little puzzled.
With such a valuable status as Marquis Solomon, he naturally does not do whatever he thinks like ordinary people, and his daily itinerary is made a few days in advance, and it will never be changed unless there are very special circumstances. It stands to reason that the Marquis Solomon and his wife have no plans to travel today, but to wait for Laura to return from the ring and have dinner with the whole family.
However, seeing that it was almost time to eat, why did he go out again?
What happened?
At this time, the Marquise Solomon poked her head out of the carriage and beckoned to Laura: "Laura, come!" β
In front of her parents, Laura was still very well-behaved, and when she got into the carriage, the Marquis of Solomon commanded the handlebar in front of her: "Let's go!" β
"Where are we going?" Laura asked, puzzled.
"To Count McNuss's house!" The Marquise Solomon touched her daughter's head lovingly, and although her expression was gentle, Laura was very sharp, and saw the melancholy in her mother's eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Laura asked.
"Huh!" Marquise Solomon pinched the tip of Laura's nose: "It's not a big deal, Count McNus is a little injured, let's just go and visit!" β
β¦β¦
As a first-class nobleman at the top of the empire and the supreme commander of the Northwest Army, the news of Count McNuss's injury will naturally not be spread with great fanfare, but belongs to a state of semi-secrecy, except for the royal family, several bigwigs in the military department and necessary medical personnel, only people such as Marquis Solomon who have an extremely close relationship with Count McNus have received the news.
Count McNuss's injuries are serious!
Two of the most famous doctors in the city, Kansas and Leonard, worked together to treat Count McNuss, washing, stitching, and bandaging. But with little success, and after prescribing the medicine, the two doctors finally had nothing to do, shook their heads, and said that we had done everything that needed to be done, and as for whether the Earl could survive this hurdle, it depended on whether his own will was strong enough, and he looked forward to the blessing of the goddess of light.
At the beginning, I heard that the Earl was seriously injured and his life and death were uncertain, and the Countess's spirit was almost about to collapse, and she fell into a coma several times, crying vigorously, but after all, she was not an ordinary woman who could only cry, but a woman from a noble background, well-educated, and with enough confidence and wisdom.
Wiped away her tears, she quieted down, waited by her husband's side inch by the inch, touched his hot forehead, looked at the terrible wounds on his body, the countess prayed silently in her heart: "O great goddess of light, please keep my husband safe and sound no matter what, if he has done something wrong and must be punished, then please be merciful to me for such devout affection for you, yes, he is my husband, the father of my children, he is the pillar of our family, We can't do without him, O great goddess of light, and if you can, allow me to share part of my husband's suffering, and you won't forsake this poor lamb, will you? β
β¦β¦
The Marquis and the Marquis of Solomon were distinguished guests, and when they heard that they were coming, the Countess herself took them in, and by this time the Count McNus had not subsided from his fever or awakened.
After a brief inquiry about the injury, the Marquis of Solomon asked Laura to go out, and there was something to discuss between them, and the task of accompanying Laura naturally fell on Duang's head.
The two of them walked outside, one after the other, Du Ang looked melancholy, did not speak, and directly found a step to sit down.
Originally, Laura was still angry and angry about Duang's abstention in the ring, but when she learned the news of Count McNuss's injury, this anger had long since disappeared. And now seeing Du Ang's appearance, somehow, she has a faint feeling of distress.
"Don't worry too much, your father will be fine." Laura is not very good at comforting people, knowing that her powerless persuasion is nonsense, but other than that, she doesn't know what to say.
Duang looked up at her, a smile on his face.
"How's the game going?"
"Ask me or ask you? If it were me, I won, and if you're asking about your own game, you've already abstained. β
"Hehe, you're pretty good." Duang said listlessly.
"Of course I'm amazing, I said it a long time ago, it's just that you ......" Laura raised her eyebrows, and was about to say a few words to Duon, but when she thought of the current appearance of Count McNuss, she immediately calmed down and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity! β
"What's the pity?"
"Your opponent in the second round is not strong, if you don't abstain, he will definitely not be able to beat you."
"Oh, childish!" Duang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
For a moment, Laura suddenly felt that Duon had some strange, very strange feelings, he was only two years older than herself, but why did he have a very strange, vicissitudes of life in him?
It's like he's been through a lot......
For the next long time, Duon did not speak, and Laura was silent, and the atmosphere was rather dreary, only the wind was blowing.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Hungry? Du Ang suddenly asked, "You should have come directly after getting out of the ring, right?" β
"Hmm...... Oh, I'm not hungry! β
"Let's go, let's go get something to eat." Du Ang shrugged: "You're not hungry, I'm still hungry." β
After saying that, Duang smiled at Laura, turned around and left, Laura was stunned for a moment, then ran a few steps to follow, pretending to be fierce and shouted: "I said I'm not hungry, if you are hungry, you can eat by yourself." β
"Then what are you doing with me?"
"Who, who's following you? I'm afraid you won't hear me clearly! Laura was actually really hungry, and she hadn't eaten much after a day's work, but when she heard Duang say this, she couldn't say that she was hungry no matter how hungry she was, and she turned around to leave.
"Okay, okay, don't pretend!" Du Ang shook his head helplessly: "Laura, do you know what your biggest problem is?" It's to die to save face and suffer sin, and when you're hungry, you're hungry, listen, I hear your stomach gurgling! (To be continued.) )
