Volume 1 The Outpost County Chapter 2 A Farcical Assessment
Dina led everyone to the open space behind the castle, leaving the training ground in the middle to her second young master and magic apprentice Dick.
The training ground was covered with fallen leaves, and it looked extremely desolate, and several weapon racks around it were also rusty, and most of the weapons on them were heavy weapons, lying gloomily on the weapon racks.
A thick seven-meter dragon spear was striking when it was stuck diagonally on the ground, and next to it stood a solid mace covered with barbs.
Austin secretly despises it, as a top nobleman, no matter how bad your reputation is, at least you have to find two long swords with beautiful lines to fill the faΓ§ade, look at those weapon racks, all of them are extremely vulgar heavy weapons, which are simply insulting to the title of nobleman.
But the old magician didn't bother to say anything, he didn't want to stay for a moment, he just wanted to leave this dilapidated castle as soon as possible.
Dick, who had just been promoted to a junior magician, was just a side branch of the low-end nobles in the royal city.
When he was a child, he was gifted with magic, and Austin took him as an apprentice and kept him with him.
And Dick entered the ranks of elemental users, and at the same time inherited the title of nobility, and since then has soared to the sky.
Although he is only a junior water magician, Dick has always been proud of his identity, often calling himself a magician.
Looking at Allen a hundred yards away, Dick pursed his lips disdainfully.
A man who stayed in the middle of nowhere and only knew the waste of time spent drinking and drinking, if his father was not the Duke, how could he let himself and his mentor waste time by rushing here overnight.
Austin, who was outside the training ground, squinted his eyes slightly, and said emotionlessly: "The distance between the two sides is a hundred yards, and one side can only end if he admits defeat or is knocked down, let's start." β
"Come on, Second Young Master! If you win, I won't wear a maid outfit from now on, I won't wear anything. Dina jumped up and down cheering for her master.
"Boom, boom!" Cracks kept appearing in the stone bricks beneath Dina's feet.
Alan's face turned green.
Sure enough, Austin looked disgusted.
Dick was holding his staff, distressed.
Because he didn't know which spell to use to defeat the opponent, whether it was the primary water archery technique he had just learned, or the fancy water element magic explosion, should he summon a water shield to impress everyone, although it was a bit redundant, everyone knew that this aristocratic waste material in front of him could not release any spell at all, and the mage duel was a distance of a hundred yards, and the opponent was just a living target to be ravaged by himself.
After all, his mentor is present in the battle, if he defeats the famous waste baron in this kingdom, he may also enter the circle of the top nobles in the royal city, maybe the young lady of a noble family will be impressed by himself after hearing about his deeds, and he may not be able to say that the waste wood not far away has offended the nobles in the royal city.
Dick was caught up in a longing for happiness and couldn't extricate himself.
Alan was also distressed.
Because he didn't know how to fight between mages at all, the books of the castle recorded the deeds of many famous mages, as well as the blazing flames that covered the sky, the waves tens of meters high, etc., which he had always read as novels.
Looking at Dick not far away, Alan was very curious about how such a thin body could summon a powerful force that could destroy the world.
But reality did not allow him to think much about it, and Dick moved, and his shriveled lips uttered an obscure incantation.
Remembering the terrifying scene in the book that describes the magician after summoning magic, Allen's mind was full of alarm bells, and he casually picked up a strange giant shield on the ground next to him, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Dina, who was watching the battle, was dumbfounded, she didn't know what her second young master was doing when she picked up the solid wood door panel, the solid wood door panel that was more than one person high was still the last time she accidentally kicked it, and she was afraid of being blamed by the old butler, so she secretly put it under the shield rack in the training ground.
Not only Dina was dumbfounded, but Dick was also stunned, and as soon as the first half of the spell was recited, he saw that the opponent picked up a gate board that was higher than himself, and rushed over viciously with a look of wanting to kill his whole family.
Dick, who was born in the last aristocratic child, usually cultivates quite hard, and his skills in chanting spells are very solid, and in a panic, he summoned three arrows transformed by the water element, and the arrows that flashed with blue light flew over with a sound of breaking through the air.
Allen, who had already experienced countless tests of blood and fire in his previous life, did not have the slightest carelessness, and the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention him who had gone through countless battles.
Holding the shield in front of him, after the water arrow hit it, it turned into three splashes and disappeared in the wind, leaving no trace on the solid wood door panel.
With a bang, the door panel flew past Dick's head and slammed into the stone wall.
Dick was already paralyzed from fright, and the door panel flew by, and the strong wind it brought up was like a knife.
As the eighth and last place in the all-army competition in the grenadier competition, Allen's accuracy has always been poor.
Dick was lucky, because if that solid wooden door did slap him in the face, it is estimated that his head would be about the same as a broken big watermelon.
Dick was also unlucky, as Alan was close behind and had already rushed in front of him.
His Excellency, whose head was full of ten gold coins, leaped with both feet and slammed an eye-sealing hammer into Dick's face.
"The flame that covers you!" Allen threw an uppercut, and Dick felt like he had broken at least three ribs.
"Make your huge waves tens of meters high!" Another knee, and Dick clutched his crotch and gasped.
"Let you destroy the world!" The textbook-like high whip leg whipped Dick's two front teeth.
After kicking Dick like a dog, Alan squeezed his fist and said, "Make you look so ugly!" β
Lying on the ground and almost losing half his life, Dick looked at Alan blankly, his eyes without any focus.
I... I just want to put a rudimentary water arrow... Dick began to think back to himself, if he had offended the other party before, this guy was too poisonous!!
Although he just wanted to humiliate this waste aristocrat and win the topic in the future, it was just an assumption, and the reality didn't give him a chance to take action at all!
Austin outside the field, the wand in his hand slipped quietly, and his big mouth was like a toad with extreme lack of oxygen, dumbfounded.
Jace, the warrior behind him, was equally surprised, with a large mouth and a jaw that almost dislocated.
"This guy has a lot of strength." Looking at the door panel that had crashed into a wall in the distance, Jace was speechless.
As a fighting warrior who guards the magician, fighting is simply commonplace for him, but after more than thirty years of life, it is the first time he has seen someone beat the magician so smoothly.
It's really a long experience, Jace, who is under the royal guard, has a vicious eye than the magicians who always hide in the rear of the battle, this legendary aristocratic waste material, not to mention the tricky angles, and the tricks to control the enemy, which hurts and beats, and picks up the key to the black hand.
The few tricks that are popular among the nobles, compared to the set of actual combat attacks just now, are simply a child's splashing and rolling.
Jace could see that the timing and angle of the legendary baron of waste wood that he had just blocked were completely instinctive, and those seemingly simple but tricky angles were definitely practiced countless times.
Although the opponent is just a cowardly magician, if he is replaced by himself, he may not be able to withstand this dazzling set of attacks if he is unprepared.
Especially the crooked solid wood door panel, it doesn't look like a top nobleman who has been pampered since childhood, but more like a majestic plain giant throwing it with all his might.
Moving his neck, Alan felt that he had been a little rusty with his sixteen-style grappling fist recently.
"Breaking the rules!" Austin couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said with an old face full of anger: "How can you attack so closely between magicians!" β
Alan innocently looked at the thunderous old magician.
Austin hurriedly ran over, picked up the junior apprentice he valued very much, and shouted, "I will go back to the royal city to tell the Duke, you are indeed like a rumor, and you actually attacked a noble magician like this." β
"I rely on your uncle!" As soon as Alan saw that the other party turned his face, he immediately showed a hob meat face and scolded: "Old coffin, you don't care if you beat the little report Lao Tzu, ten gold coins a month, do you want to regret it?" β
"You! You!! "Austin, you haven't said a complete sentence for a long time.
Alan remembered that the castle was now poor and couldn't open the pot, and said with a cruel smile: "Nima, just said that I would overturn your apprentice, and now I want to regret it, you trick me?" Believe it or not, I can't keep you out of this castle? β
After finishing speaking, Alan waved his hand and looked at Austin fiercely.
Jace flashed in front of Austin, drew his sword at his waist, and watched his surroundings warily.
Austin also raised his wand, ready to unleash his magic at any moment.
Half an hour later... Except for the gentle breeze, not half a person ran out of the castle.
Alan then remembered that the castle was very big, and in addition to himself, there were two people living in it, one was the only maid Dina, and the other was the elusive butler Old Lacey.
After being nervous for a long time, Austin, who found that he had been tricked, scolded: "You simply insult the title of a nobleman, magicians have guards to protect them, if it is usual, how can you make such a sneak attack successful." β
Alan snorted and scolded: "Go to Nima, how did you know if you didn't tell me before, if I become a magician one day, and rush up with a shield and stab another magician to death, I won't be a magician?" Who says magicians have to hide behind their backs? β
Austin opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, and he was speechless.
Elemental users, whether they are Terran magicians or shamans of the Beamon Beast Clan, are all cowardly people, dealing with magical elements for many years, and constantly developing the limits of their brains, but also causing the weakening of their bodies, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are powerless, which is a well-known fact.
However, the best waste material in this aristocracy in front of him is not a magician at all, and he is not even qualified as a magic apprentice, because he has the magic power that he has accumulated for several years of meditation, but he can't release any magic.
The tight-fitting evening gown couldn't hide his strong muscles, and he was more like a high-ranking samurai than a magic apprentice.
"I'm not convinced!" Dick, who struggled up, covered his ribs with his right hand, missing two front teeth, and began to cry out stubbornly with a leaky mouth: "Do you dare to accept my challenge again?" β
"Oops! It's not a long memory, is it? Alan smiled and said, "I was merciful just now. β
He was telling the truth, Dick was very thin, and there was no big hatred between the two, so Alan still retained most of his strength when he attacked.
And Allen, who beat people for the first time after being reborn, found that his body seemed to have changed a lot.
He couldn't say exactly what had changed, but he felt that when Dick released the magic just now, his perception seemed to have improved a lot, and both his ability to reflect and his strength had greatly improved.
"Nope! I want a vindictive warrior as my escort! Dick remembered this time, pointed to Jace, who was dressed as a warrior behind Austin, and said, "As a magician, I ask the warrior to protect me and challenge you fairly." β
Jace, who had already seen the hunt, silently walked to Dick's side and looked at Alan expectantly.
"It's not fair!" Dina, who was walking on two long (thick) legs, hurriedly ran behind her master and shouted: "My second young master has been pampered since he was a child, and his health is not good, he has never learned any martial arts, how can he be the opponent of a fighting warrior." β
Jace looked at Dina, speechless!
Pampered I believe! But where do you tell he's not in good health? If you are not in good health, you can use such a large solid wood door panel as a weapon and throw it around?
This has never learned martial arts like this, and if you learn some martial arts, your master will not be able to turn the world upside down!
Austin, who doesn't know anything about fighting and killing, is a little hesitant, he has heard of Jace's strength, as a fighting warrior, Jace is also the captain of the royal guard, and his martial arts skills are even better.
This group of murderous and vindictive soldiers in the army, if he misses and injures and mutilates the waste baron in front of him, the Duke will wear small shoes for him even to save face, even if he is a magician, he is still very scruple in the face of some people who hold great power.
After thinking for a while, Austin stretched out his hand to stop his apprentice and comforted: "Forget it, don't worry about this kind of barbarian who can only sneak attack, let's go back to the royal city and tell the Grand Duke the whole story, let him call the shots." β
Alan sneered, it was a sneak attack from beginning to end, and it wasn't a sneak attack if you stood there and let you beat it?
But he doesn't want to be troubled, he still knows the importance of magicians, even if it's just a junior magician in the water system, any human kingdom will be protected like a treasure, after all, there are tens of millions of people on the continent, and there are only less than a thousand magicians.
As a result, when the master was not in a hurry, the maid Dina behind her was in a hurry, as soon as she heard the word "barbarian", she scolded the old mage with a scolding on her head: "Old coffin board, who do you say is a barbarian?" Auntie, I'm going to crook your old face today, do you believe it or not? β
Austin snorted coldly, not having the same knowledge as this vulgar and sturdy maid.
Jace whispered, "Lord Austin, don't worry, I'm measured, if I go back like this, others will laugh at us." β
After a long pause, looking at the apprentice who was missing two front teeth, Austin finally nodded.
Jace raised his sword horizontally and looked at Alan eager to try.
It is rumored in the kingdom that the second son of the Grand Duke has given up magic since he was eight years old, and has visited all the martial artists in the country, but after ten years, he has learned countless martial arts but has not cultivated any fighting spirit, is the rumor wrong?
