Chapter 380: One More Word

Because he was going to the ship's ball, and Eru insisted that Lorraine accompany him to give him courage, so the noble young master had to pay five gold coins to find the ship's tailor and quickly make a set of the cheapest dress.

Formal dress was required to attend the ball, a foul rule set by the aristocracy to show off their noble origins from the common people.

The dress is dark blue, somewhat similar to the suit of the earth, divided into tops and trousers, there is nothing to say about trousers, just a dark blue pants, the top is very exquisite, the antique pure copper buttons, placket, neckline, cuffs have pale gold cloud embroidery lines, plus slim design, after wearing it is very spiritual.

Although this dress is the cheapest set of the tailor shop on the ship, and it is also temporarily changed, it can't withstand Rollin's good figure, and when she wears it, she immediately shows a sense of upright and steady, especially when she stands next to the thin and short Eru, if Rollin doesn't bow his head, he can directly ignore Eru.

"Now I feel like your retinue." Eru sighed, very envious of Rollin's figure. If he had such a strong body, as long as he stood in front of his people, everyone would look up at him, and the prestige would surely roll in, and where would anyone dare to have his idea.

Eru is sixteen years old this year, and according to the height standard of this world aristocracy, he is at least more than 1.75 meters, but Eru is only in his early 1.5 meters and weighs less than 40 kilograms, while Rollin is more than 1.9 meters tall and weighs more than 100 kilograms.

But I didn't expect his voice to fall. Rollin slapped Eru on the shoulder. It's a lot of force. almost slapped the young man down: "Young master, you have low self-esteem again, change quickly!" ”

"I didn't!" Eru glared at Rollin angrily, couldn't this guy be polite to him? He's the master!

"Always thinking about changing things that can't be changed is an escape from reality, isn't this inferiority? Raise your head and straighten up. Being short has the advantage of being short, and I have to bow my head when I talk to you. ”

Eru was stunned by what he said again. Then he solemnly said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I'm still waiting for your cigarette." Luo Lin lit another cigarette, squinted, took a puff in obsession, spit out a smoke ring, and then put the cigarette in his mouth, with the stubble on his face and brown and black slightly curly hair, as well as the decadent atmosphere on his body, quite like the vicissitudes of life.

"You'd better smoke less in the hall, you'll be disgusted. Take your liking. Eru waved his hand weakly and gave up on persuasion. Because he knew that this guy would never listen to him in this matter. It doesn't matter, as long as you don't miss something.

It was already dance time, so Eru led Rollin to the ship's ballroom, and when he reached the entrance, he could hear the melodious music and the strong smell of fat powder wafting out of the woman.

"When you get inside, remember not to make a mistake, or you will be laughed at." Eru instructed.

"Yes, yes. When I get inside, I'll find a corner and sit there, and you can just go and talk to people. Rollin waved his hand impatiently.

"That's fine." Eru nodded.

The two of them entered the dance hall, and as soon as they entered, a young man with a flirtatious expression pointed at Eru and shouted, "Hey, look, the little man from Lionheart is here." ”

Then many people in the ballroom looked over, and when they saw that it was Eru, the men laughed uncontrollably, and the women were more reserved, covering their mouths with fans or handkerchiefs.

"Little man, bring a tall man here today, is it for courage?" Someone shouted.

"Well, if only I were as short as you, I don't have to bow my head to kiss my warm breasts when dancing with women."

"That's a really good idea."

A large wave of people waved their hands to say hello, and there was ridicule in their words, the thin aristocratic young man's face turned pale for a while, and the young man's pride almost made him turn his head and leave, but he couldn't, because his clothes on the back of his waist were grabbed by Rollin, and with his strength he couldn't resist at all, so he could only passively move forward.

Luo Lin said in a low voice: "Young master, laugh quickly, and answer them as we said before." ”

Eru took a deep breath and squeezed a smile on his face for a moment before he smiled at the young man who had initially laughed at him, "Adolf, thank you very much for your warm welcome. Greetings to your uncle on my behalf. ”

Adolf, the second son of the lord of Pegasus City in the South, his uncle was born with a disability and was a dwarf, and has always been known as the disgrace of Pegasus City.

Eru's counterattack was not sharp, it was no different from a slap in public, this Adolf's face suddenly turned blue, and his hand was holding the hilt of the sword, fortunately, he also knew that this was a dance hall where nobles gathered, and he endured it without having a seizure, but he couldn't stay here anymore, he drank the wine in his hand suddenly, and left with a stinky face.

"Go slowly, don't send it, don't forget to say hello. When I was a child, I almost thought I was a dwarf, and I was able to grow so tall because of your uncle's motivation. Eru didn't expect his counterattack to be so powerful, and he was careful and refreshing, so he played another sentence on the spot.

I didn't expect this sentence to go wrong!

Adolf, who was just about to leave, stopped, turned around, took off his white gloves, and threw it at Eru: "Duel, dare to take it?" If you don't dare to pick it up, you will kneel down and lick my shoes! ”

Now the world is like this, the atmosphere is martial, especially the nobles who have nothing to do, can fight for any reason, women, wealth, honor and even a dispute about who is the most beautiful woman in the world can be a reason for war. Especially now that Adolf has been humiliated by Eru, this involves the face of the family, and without a fight, Adolf will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life.

Eru was dumbfounded, letting the white gloves fall on him and then fall to the ground, and he didn't even react.

He had heard of this Adolf, and the nobles on the continent knew each other, and had never seen and heard of it.

He knew that although this Adolf was the second son of the family, he had received exactly the same training as the eldest son, although he looked young. But he was already a fairly formidable samurai. And Pegasus City's Force Martial Arts is to transform into an iron-clad Pegasus. The power of the charge is extremely large, enough to knock a person into a pulp, and the wings of the iron-armored Pegasus are as sharp as a blade, and it can easily cut the human body in half when flying at high speed.

Even more terrifying, Adolf's Pegasus is said to have grown into a young man, which is much stronger than the juvenile eagle of his guardian Juta. This means that the strength of the Force in Adolf's body is extremely high, and the higher the Force, the stronger the strength of both the human form and the transformed body. It's common sense.

The hall was silent at first, and after a pause, it burst into laughter.

"The dwarf was scared silly, haha."

"I don't have the real ability, but I went to learn kung fu, why don't you hurry up and lick your shoes?"

"Hey~ Lionheart is going to lose face again."

"Why do you say again?"

"Because this little man is a shame in itself."

All kinds of ridicule poured in, making Eru want to find a crack in the ground to hide in, his face was snow-white, and he asked the guard behind him softly, "What should I do?" What to do? ”

Rollin didn't expect this unexpected disaster, his original idea was to let people know that his young master was frail. But it is also a person with an attitude, who is not something that can be bullied casually. Originally, the plan was to put on a sentence that was neither soft nor hard, and accept it when it was good, but now Eru added one more sentence without authorization, and it was immediately overdone.

What can I do, the other party has already thrown out the white gloves, you can't pick up the gloves and hand them back, etc., the gloves are not the key, the key is the duel, why are people in this world so aggressive!

Taking a heavy puff of his cigarette, Luo Lin said angrily: "Whatever you want, if you bend down, we'll lick his boots." If you can't bend it, take it. ”

"Hey, when is it, stop kidding, think of a way." Eru growled anxiously.

"What, little man, don't you dare?" Adolf sneered: "It turns out that the little man in Lionheart City is not only short, but also a coward, what a shame for your father!" ”

"I took it!" Eru roared, blushing and his neck thick, and he was lightly provoked by the other party.

"I'm still young." Luo Lin sighed secretly when he saw it, stepped forward, picked up the white glove on the ground, took out the cigarette in his mouth, poked a big black dot in the glove, and then threw it back to Adolf: "My young master took it." Where and when the duel will be, you decide, and we'll all continue."

Zhi Brain estimated that the strength of this opponent was 510, if he could break out any secret skills, it should be a big improvement, Luo Lin was not sure if he could overpower his opponent in strength, of course, there was nothing to be afraid of. He has experienced a hundred battles, and he has never experienced any danger. As a result, his nerves are very thick now, and all the useless emotions such as nervousness, hesitation, and fear have been thrown away by him.

As long as he fights, he can play 100 percent, no, it should be to exert combat power beyond the best level of his practice.

"What are you?" Adolf dodged sideways, trying to dodge the glove, but somehow, the glove still smashed on him, and the soot smeared on his snow-white dress, making a large spot.

"Hmm, I forgot to introduce myself." Luo Lin bowed slightly: "My name is Luo Lin, I am ordered by the city lord to protect the young master, and along the way, I am responsible for helping the young master solve all kinds of troubles." In the event of a duel, I will fight on behalf of the young lord Eru. ”

Before Adolf could react, Rollin quickly added: "If you don't think you can beat me, you can also cancel the duel, or you can find a samurai to fight for you." ”

Luo Lin inquired, there is this rule in this era, nobles duels, can let their own guards do the work, so most of the duels are not the nobles themselves participated, but the guards of both sides are stumbling.

This is a bitter pain for the noble guards, who always have to fight to the death for the face of their masters.

"Can't beat you? Joke! Now, bow deck, do you dare to come with me. Adolf gritted his teeth and sneered, he was also a young and hot-blooded person, and he exploded as soon as he was stimulated.

"Don't you need a samurai to fight for you?" Rollin asked in confirmation.

"Proxy war? You think I'm the little guy behind your back who can't even lift a sword? Adolf sneered, and Eru's face turned red and white when he heard this, if he really practiced martial arts, maybe he would have rushed up by himself.

Rollin didn't react, he continued to ask, "Life or death?" ”

This kind of battle without the certainty of victory, Luo Lin does not dare to leave his hand, and without leaving his hand, with the martial arts he uses, it will definitely kill people, so the words must be clear first.

"Of course, a duel is life or death!" Adolf roared: "If you are afraid of death, go back to your mother's womb as soon as possible." ”

Luo Lin turned his head to look at the people in the dance hall again: "All of you present are celebrities and nobles, the second son of the city lord of Pegasus City wants to duel with my young master, and I will fight on behalf of the young lord of Eru, whether I live or die, after the duel, whether I win or lose, this matter will be over, and I hope you will testify." ”

The various aristocratic ladies obviously didn't expect things to come to this point, just a few casual laughs, how could it turn into a life-and-death duel in the blink of an eye. This matter is a bit big, there was a buzzing discussion, and after a while, a white-haired old man walked out: "I am Wolf, the brother of the city lord of White Rock City in the north. Lendinger. On behalf of all the gentlemen and ladies present, I hereby proclaim in the name of the Honourable King of Eddington, the young lord of Lionheart, Eru . Ace and Adolf, the second son of the lord of Pegasus City. Geldin will duel for the honor of their respective cities, and the duel will be completed regardless of life or death, and after the duel, it will be over. You two, do you have any objections? ”

This is also one of the dueling procedures, find a famous person as a notary, after the duel, if someone does not admit defeat, they can continue to launch a new challenge, but they can't play tricks, otherwise this is a slap in the face of the notary.

White Rock City in the north is one of the largest cities on the Starlet continent, and its strength is so strong that even King Eddington does not dare to underestimate them, and Wolfe, as the brother of the city lord, is naturally qualified to be a notary.

"I have no objection." Adolf shouted.

"Neither do I." Eru shouted too, but his voice was a little hoarse and lacked confidence.

After shouting, he whispered to Rollin: "Are you sure?" ”

"I haven't hit, I don't know." Rollin took another puff of his cigarette, and then, as usual, squinted and swallowed the clouds.

"Can you be serious?" Eru was sweating profusely, and he thought that his guard was not going to fight a duel, but to see the sea.

Since he wanted to be serious, Luo Lin rarely said sternly: "Young master, don't be nervous, it's good to experience this kind of thing more." What's more, even if I lose, so many people are watching, and he won't look for you. ”

"Uh~~~" Eru couldn't react a little, but he quickly understood, and his face was full of shame: "It's me who has caused you, I was wrong." ”

The mistakes he made, but having his own guards take responsibility for themselves, were nothing short of torment for Eru.

Luo Lin patted his head and smiled, this kid still has a good heart, and his brain is not stupid, it is worth him to bet on him, but he is too tender and needs to grow. (To be continued......)
