488 Win-Win Duel?
"I'm a law-abiding citizen of the Union, and it doesn't seem like a good thing to be a classic and violent activity like a duel."
"Not in reality, but in the game."
"Games?" Gordon looked surprised.
Although Rufa is gay, Vinia is also his titular legal wife. His behavior, from the perspective of outsiders, is to put a big green hat on him. And to solve this kind of marriage in reality, the other party actually chose to duel in the game?
Fighting for the virtual goddess, fighting for the unfair distribution of the spoils, and dueling for a trivial quarrel or two, that is the norm. Because it's the game.
"Didn't I tell you? Rufa is a professional player, and he is doing well, and now in the ancient era, he is also a master who has reached level nine and can use the five ring spells. For him, the game is just as important as the real world. β
I see.
For Gordon, the game is just a game. But for Rufa, this world is a battlefield of pride and glory for men.
"Vinia, then sue your husband - soon after, he will be his ex-husband. I agreed to his request for a duel. Gordon replied cheerfully.
Since it's another task to brush up on the girl's favorability, let's take it. Anyway, sooner or later, he would have to overthrow it - this was Yan SΓΉ's political task. Moreover, Gordon could take the opportunity to test out the new spell-like abilities he had acquired in the process of meditating and condensing his true name.
In addition, Rufa is the prisoner who kidnapped Venia in the real world. If his spirit body in the Wanhua Fantasy Realm has been harmed. Then when the spell ends, that kind of damage will be fed back into reality, and it must be interesting. Such. Maybe Venia will be able to escape from him on her own.
This kind of good thing of achieving three goals in a duel is rare.
After Vinia received Rufa's message, about ten minutes later, Rufa arrived at Hanksa Fort through the teleportation circle between the cities of GuΓ².
The city was formerly a military fortress built as a result of the Eighteen Years' War between humans and elves. After the end of the war. The two races resumed trade and the area gradually expanded into a commercial city. Architectural style though. It is still the rough and majestic stone style of the past, and the city walls and towers still bear the scars of the war.
Fort Hanksa, on the other hand, has a dueling arena converted from a cavalry racing venue, which is now the most popular entertainment venue among players. There are countless grievances and grievances happening there every day. Love and hate. It's simply the source of gossip on the player forums.
This is where the two sides meet.
Just like in reality, after Lu Fa, who was wearing a gorgeous blue mage robe, met Gordon, he said with a cold face: "You are Gordon? β
"That's right."
Rufa arrived more than once, followed by a few of his friends, who were also professional gamers, all of whom looked like well-equipped masters.
As soon as these people first met, they spewed a lot of rude and dirty shouts at Gordon, so angry that Sigrid and Ainia beside Gordon wanted to take out their weapons and start fighting.
But Gordon didn't feel it. Those are just words that the onlookers are destined to be slapped in the face. And except for Rufa himself, everyone else is a mirror image of the illusion construction. Anger at these apparitions that do not exist at all. Gordon wasn't that stupid.
"Sigrid, Aenia, and Vinia. Just go up to the audience and cheer me on. Men's affairs, let the men solve themselves. β
Gordon finally shook off his domineering spirit. The three girls obediently returned to the audience, but the other male spectators in the dueling arena were obviously aroused by their jealousy.
Harem men are originally male public enemies. It's a dream to be welcomed by other men after enjoying the treatment of being surrounded by beautiful girls and hugging left and right.
Gordon looked around the arena at the sudden gathering of spectators, most of whom were spitting at him to express their envy and hatred for the men in their hearts, and thought it was a little strange.
He looked at Lufa, who was confronting him on stage: "You created such a lively stage?" Looks like you like losing in front of everyone. β
Lu Fa smiled slightly, and there was a hint of essence behind his glasses: "I have asked my friends to spread the truth of today's duel." Everyone knows that I am a victim of grief, and you are a shameless bastard who takes away his wife. β
"Although Vinia and I don't have anything in fact, it's admirable that you took the initiative to publicize your cuckolding."
"Passing the prize." Rufa bowed slightly, "I have no interest in that woman, so even if she is taken away by you, I won't feel bad." On the contrary, I was able to take advantage of this incident and profit a lot. If I win, then I am a real man who has succeeded in revenge. If I fail, then I am a tragic figure to be sympathized with. Either way, once this event spreads, I will be able to greatly expand my popularity. You know, I'm a pro gamer, and I have my own guild. I need visibility to open up the game in the game. β
At the end, he added: "Also, don't worry. Regardless of the outcome of the final duel, I will divorce Venia. She ran away with the wild man outside, and I was the innocent party, and the family could also explain the past. β
"Looks like you're a winner anyway?" Gordon shrugged and smiled, "But I'm not at a loss." You have gained a career, I have a beauty, we are all happy, and we have a win-win ending. β
In fact, putting aside his position, Gordon admires Rufa a lot. This guy, like himself, is smart, calm, and analytical, and uses a qiΔ condition to get the most out of himself. It's just that in terms of selfishness, coldness, cruelty, etc., Gordon is far inferior to Rufa.
Of course, there is one of the biggest differences - Gordon likes girls, while Rufa likes men.
Rufa licked his lips and was quite disdainful of Gordon's win-win statement: "Hmph, although I am not interested in that woman, I will not let anyone who betrays me have a good end." I would divorce Vigna, but I would let the lawyer turn this divorce into the most complicated and difficult case, and I would ruin her reputation, exhaust and torture her. β
"It's really hard for you to be so bad that it leaks pus." Gordon shook his head.
The subconscious in the illusion is also the reaction of the real personality. Gordon felt that this kind of scum, still very smart and difficult scum, it was better not to leave Mount Wesula alive.
Rufa snorted disdainfully, unconcerned about Gordon's accusations.
"In that case, then I can only spread the hot photos of you kneeling at the feet of a male model named Alva, sucking and licking, on the Internet. Don't you want to be visibility, this should have a good effect. You see, I'm not like you, I'm a good person, and helping others is the foundation of happiness. β
"Nonsense!" Rufa's little white face instantly turned red.
Gordon sneered: "You think Vignya is going to divorce you without any favorable evidence?" β
"That!" The mage, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, finally fell into a rage.
Those trivial matters such as divorce, lawsuits, identification of the party at fault, and property distribution do not matter to Gordon at all. It was just a spell-created illusion, and he didn't need to care about it. talked so much nonsense with Rufamo, just to catch the moment when the other party was shaken by words and lost his coolness.
Although in the Weisula Mountains, all the adventurers who entered the Wanhua Fantasy Land inherited their abilities in reality, and they also used their memory to reconstruct various equipment and props on their bodies in the virtual world.
As early as the adventurer's camp at the foot of Mount Wesula, Gordon received a lot of useful information about Rufa with the help of GuΓ² Sour Pear and his centaur lover. The type and quantity of spell casting materials that Gordon purchased from the opponent can be used to guess which spells the opponent has mastered and which spells he likes to prepare.
For example, the largest quantities on Rufa's shopping list are ice wafers and burnt roots. These are all necessary materials for many cold spells and fire spells in the Shaping School.
This shows that when preparing spells every day, if there are no special circumstances, Ruba will leave a large number of spell slots for these two spells.
So a battle plan took shape in Gordon's mind.
He was the first to attack, summoning the activation shield, and then immediately fired three dissociative beams at Rufa.
Rufa, who was originally distracted by Gordon's anger, reacted after three beams of dead green light had already flown over half of the dueling arena and hurriedly took out a scroll.
Gordon's three-shot dissociation technique has a tricky angle, and with the body of a mage like Lufa, no matter how he escapes, he will inevitably be hit. He had to think of something else.
Dissociation is a very useful six-ring spell, so powerful that most creatures will be seriously injured if they don't die. But this spell also has a lot of flaws. For example, this is not a directional spell like a magic missile, which can be dodged if you are agile enough. The Grand Arcanist of the Nether era invented an improved dissociation technique that automatically attacked targets like a magic missile, which Gordon had encountered in the floating battleship in the ruins of Danze, but had never had the opportunity to learn it.
In addition, the dissociation ray can only act on one object, and cannot kill in the range, let alone penetrate at all.
So if you are experienced, or well prepared, it is easy to deal with this spell.
The parchment in Rufa's hand quickly disintegrated into dust in the arcane torrent, and then three huge palms stood in front of him as he chanted.
"Hey, a scroll summons three Bigby talisman palms, Rufa looks like he has some goods at the bottom of the box." A smile of interest tugged at the corner of Gordon's mouth. (To be continued......)
