Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Now, in the eyes of the mages around him who are also contestants, Gordon has long been labeled as "young, ignorant, and arrogant".
A four-ring mage actually wants to fight against a six-ring mage?
In this world, if the miracle of defeating the strong with the weak is so easy to live, it will not be praised by people. The real norm is still to be strong and weak.
Compared with the Sixth Ring and the Fourth Ring, it is not only a gap in arcane attainment, but also a huge difference in comprehensive strength formed by the accumulation of time. Among the mages, there are also those who know about Gordon, a young mage who is now in the limelight by the side of the Lord of Wands, and knows that he is a genius mage with outstanding talent and unlimited potential. But Gordon has gone from the first ring to the current fourth ring in less than a year, how can it compare to Asalan, which has decades of accumulation.
Of course, what these mages thought in their hearts, Gordon didn't care. As soon as Baron Lavaletti announced that the game was about to begin, he stood in his own circle, which the mage could not step out of when he commanded the golem in a duel, or he would be defeated.
"What the hell is this guy doing? At this critical moment, he should focus on testing Gordon's strength, instead of playing children's gambling games! β
In the stands belonging to the aristocracy, the Earl of Thompson, disguised by illusion, cursed secretly. The rest of the audience was excited about the two mages raising their duels privately, but he didn't bother to bother with that. The worried old earl was out of place with the same duel atmosphere as the whole carnival.
After the Autumn Hunt defeated the demons, Earl Thompson's escape from the defense line was covered up. Even Ms. Bishop did not say anything and remained silent. On the day of his triumphant return to the city, Earl Thompson was treated with great courtesy as a nobleman of equal rank to Lady Bishop in the Autumn Hunting Ranks, and as a hero who took the lead in the final battle and pursued the demons.
Now. As a hero who fought a bloody battle against demons, Earl Thompson's reputation grew, and the entire family showed faint signs of revitalization. This pleased the old earl.
But hidden beneath this bustling beauty is a fact that makes Earl Thompson shudder every time he thinks about it: Sheona. Freeman, the stubborn little girl. Not dead!
According to news from the Freeman family, Xie Ona is now seriously injured and in a coma, her life is in danger, and her recovery is far away. And Earl Thompson's own channels also investigated that every day the Freeman family bought many medicinal herbs, which seemed to be used to keep Sheona alive.
Although judging by all indications. There is little hope of Xie Ona's recovery, and she will die at any point. And Asalan repeatedly assured Earl Thompson that he had been hit by his dissociation technique and could not be cured. But the old earl was still not at ease. He was already planning to completely eliminate this hidden danger even if he took the risk.
For this reason, Earl Thompson has contacted some troublesome but powerful guys. Prepare for a sneak attack on Freeman's house and kill Sheona.
After completely solving this hidden danger, in line with the concept of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Earl Thompson also planned to challenge Gordon and completely defeat the Freeman family at the next aristocratic council about the Autumn Hunt Demon Attack.
Of course, before the plan could be implemented, Earl Thompson had to know enough about the enemy. Although in the Cold Fog Mountains. Gordon's description of how powerful he was had been passed through the soldiers and his subordinates, and more than once had reached his ears. But every time the battle was rear, the Earl of Thompson did not see Gordon's strength with his own eyes. So he came to watch the duel in person today.
The preoccupied and apprehensive Earl Thompson did not dampen the enthusiasm of the others to watch the Golem duel. At this time, the bet on the winner of the game also spread in the audience.
"Ten gold coins, I'll bet on Gordon. Freeman emerges victorious. "Dorne. Mr. Lannister threw out ten golden round cakes in a dashing manner. The servant in charge of recording the bets hurriedly caught it. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Lannister." Break a leg! β
"Really, it's always such a lavish spending." Beside Dorne, Miss Helen, who had a happy face, said coquettishly. The daughter of the city lord seems to have entered the role of his wife in advance.
"It's just ten gold coins." Dorne was slightly helpless. I am very fond of the single life in the past.
With the character of this son, the golem duel is so lively, so it is natural to come and see it. Recently, because of the engagement, he has felt the passage of freedom. If he didn't send the depression in his heart, he was afraid that he would suffer from premarital phobia.
Moreover, during a recent meeting with Gordon, the other party talked several times about the fact that he had undergone a lot of makeovers and had almost completely renovated the Blade Golem. However, no matter how much he asked, Gordon refused to give Dorn any further technical details. Not to mention summoning the golem for him to observe.
This made Dorne, who grew up in the Lannister family and had a natural interest in magical technology, itch his heart.
For Gordon's friend, Dorne still knows a certain amount. From the first time the two met, it can be seen that the majestic ring made by the other party can be seen that this is a genius with endless whimsical ideas. So when it came to betting on this duel, Dorne didn't hesitate to favor Gordon.
It's not just because of his position, but because he knows that with Gordon's strength, he will be able to defeat all his opponents - including the six-ring mage Asalan.
But there weren't many people who thought the same way as Dorne -- like Drington on the other side of him. Feng. Eisenstein.
When the servant approached, the silver knight threw him a platinum coin: "I bet on Asalam. Mage Delmavic wins. β
Dorne snorted slightly.
"Mr. Lannister, instead of spending ten gold coins on the side with a lower probability of winning and praying for a miracle of life, it is better to spend a little more money and put it on the person who is most likely to win."
"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Eisenstein. However, the Lannisters don't need anyone else to guide them on how to gamble. β
The atmosphere between the two people is somewhat delicate.
If you know the historical relationship between the Lannister and Eisenstein families, it will be surprising.
Eisenstein and Lannister, the two nobles in Ferreton's upper class, had very different family philosophies. The Lannisters believe in arcane supremacy. After mastering the essence of the power of this multiverse, the power of the world is naturally not a problem.
Indeed, the Lannister family has a high position in the Ferreton Empire with many excellent mages trained over the ages, as well as a variety of unique magical techniques. The Eisenstein family, on the other hand, relied on its high diplomatic skills and marriage strategy to build a huge network of influence for itself.
And the Lannister mages who believe in the supremacy of the arcane power that belong to their own self naturally look down on the Eisenstein family. At first, the Eisensteins also had the idea of marrying the Lannisters and pulling them into their own network of influence. If successful, not only will he have a large number of elite mages as his backing, but he will also be able to bring excellent bloodlines to the Eisenstein family. Maybe in a few decades, the mages of the Eisenstein family will not be weaker than the Lannisters.
However, this marriage failed. The Lannisters simply rejected the pair of beautiful twins sent by the Eisensteins. It is said that on the night of the news, the head of the Eisenstein family lost his temper and broke a favorite Antolian vase.
After that, although the two families did not officially break up on the surface, in private, they had already started a fierce fight. So when the young people of these two families meet together, naturally there will be no harmonious scene of hello, hello, hello, everyone.
And, even putting aside the feud between the two families, Dorne doesn't like Doctorton as a person.
The reason is simple - Drington is even more handsome than him. Let him be overshadowed by his handsome appearance, which is invincible in his pursuit of women.
Dorne even believed that the reason why Derrington took his newly acquired maid and chose to sit next to him was to deliberately compete with him for the limelight.
So, Dorne, who was not very happy in his heart, decided to make Delrington unhappy.
Perhaps it was his fiancΓ©e who brought him good fortune, and Dorne immediately found a way to strike at Derington. He saw that in the stands opposite, there was a beautiful girl in a smart uniform, tall and blue-eyed, greeting Gordon.
Although he usually avoids this girl Dorne, today, he is very glad that the other party came to the scene of the duel.
"Mr. Eisenstein, Miss Faria, the Grand Duke's daughter, also seems to have come to the scene, you seem to have a good relationship with her, don't you go and say hello?" Dorn said politely, laughing maniacally.
Drington looked in the direction of Donne's finger and saw that Falia was talking to Gordon on the field. Although the expressions of the two are not very close, Drington, who is very familiar with Falia's character, knows that the relationship between those two people is a huge obstacle to his pursuit of Falia.
The fact that the two of them were able to participate in the auction together yesterday alone can tell a lot about it.
However, the personable knight only asked lightly: "It turns out that Faria is also here." Doesn't she hate magic? β
"People change." Dorne said meaningfully. Although Drington didn't say anything, he was keenly aware that the knight had changed his sitting position, and his left foot was shaking.
Someone once said that the person who knows himself best is his best friend, who is his old enemy.
In a sense, Drington is Dorne's nemesis. The two had dealt with each other before, so Dorne knew the young leader of the Eisenstein family very well. Shaking the feet means that the other party's mood is starting to be irritable.
At this time, Baron Lavaletti finally announced that the Golem duel had begun. Dorne put these little intrigues aside.
As the audience cheered wave after wave, one golem after another appeared in the dueling arena in the flickering of arcane light.
