Chapter 7: The Fire of Jealousy

Alex, what are you still grinding about, the prime minister who was just shocked by John's momentum and retreated because of Alex's appearance, his confidence was restored, and he took another step forward, but when he heard that Alex asked John to put on his armor and have a fair duel, his face was full of displeasure, and he was not happy to take advantage of the fact that he had settled him now, and engaged in a fair duel

Seeing that Alex ignored him, Pan Alonda was enraged, and he shouted: Alex, do you dare to disobey my orders

Alex turned around with a snort, drew the long sword at his waist and pointed it directly at Pan Alonda in front of him, the corners of his mouth were still smiling, but his eyes were full of murderous intent: You are provoking another royal knight, Lord Chancellor, please remember that I am only working with you, without me, you can't do anything, I am not your subordinate, please stop calling the command to me

Then Alex turned again, put his sword back into its scabbard, and said to John, "Duke Duncan, please put on the royal armor now, and rest assured that no one will dare to do anything to you while you are wearing the armor."

You...... Pan Alonda was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything about Alex's no-nonsense attitude, he knew that no matter which royal knight he offended, his fate would be miserable

John didn't say anything, he ordered the remaining four subordinates to help him put on the royal armor, the wearing of the armor is a more complicated process, during this time, all the time is quietly going on, only the sound of rain dripping on the ground is heard, the atmosphere is tense and solemn, at this time the wound on John's back has rotted to the point that it is not visible, the cold metal sticks to the wound, the pain is piercing, but John still stubbornly endures the pain, puts on the armor

When John draped a white cloak embroidered with a lily motif behind him, the entire royal armor had been put on

In the hierarchy of human knights, the rank of trainee knight is the most basic, and the order is guard knight, elite knight, and champion knight, if you go up to the knight's training, there will be two branches, namely the church knight who also cultivates light magic, the blessing knight, the prayer knight and the paladin; Legion knights and below 5 ranks, there are actually no very strict regulations on the materials used for knights' armor, as long as the economic conditions are met, the knight's own physique can bear its weight, it is enough; There are strict regulations on the texture of the battle armor of the three levels of knights above the royal knight, because the knights of the above three levels have already cultivated the battle spirit, and when making the battle armor for these knights, it is necessary to consider not only the protection, but also whether the battle armor can withstand the power of the knight's battle spirit, so the battle armor worn by these knights is not the same as the material of mythril

Mithril is a very precious rare metal, it is harder than steel, but less than half of the importance of steel, their price is more precious than gold, a pure Mithril, its beauty is like ordinary silver, but the luster will not fade with time, and more importantly, Mithril also has a magical power that can resist or enhance magic, which is the most precious strategic resource in the world of Olopa, all the people in the world will grab their heads for it, in the Bright Age 1187, under the control of the Central Holy See, the countries of the Holy Light Sect even united to seize and control the only Mithril vein in the world in the hands of the dwarves, and launched a 6-year Mithril War against the dwarven kingdom

It is this substance that is not only stronger when fused with high-quality steel, but also Lighter also has the characteristics of protecting the armor itself from being destroyed by the user's burning of the war spirit, but the mythril content of a knight's armor is quite strict, if the mythril content is too small, then the armor will also be unable to withstand the knight's war spirit and destroy; if the mythril content is too much, it will limit the power of the war soul and play, that is to say, the mythril content of a set of knight armor should be determined according to the knight's own ability, and it can not be sloppy at all, generally speaking, the blessed knight and the knight of royal power who can burn the primary battle spirit, the mythril content of the armor is 15The Mithril content of the Prayer Knight and the Guard Knight who have mastered the intermediate War Spirit Burning Method is about 33%, and the Mithril content of the Royal Knight and Paladin with the high-level War Spirit usually reaches more than 45%.

Now that the two royal knights in the Mithril armor were facing each other, the soldiers around them were all awe-inspiring by the momentum exuded from the two of them, and Alex Mawson was more graceful and proud than John Duncan's fortitude and indomitable spirit

Alex: Before the duel, I want to ask you a question: John broke the silence for a long time with his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, your family is not only one of the founding fathers and nobles of the Poyler Kingdom, but also occupies a high position in the regime of the royal family of the past dynasties, and the kingdom even raised you to be a royal knight, what made you abandon the loyalty and kindness you should have as a knight, and launched a coup d'état with the wolf of Panalonda, and did not hesitate to betray the country that gave birth to you and raised you

The wind in the rain crackled the cloaks of the two knights, and John's question was at the same time bewildered in the king's mind

Why don't it be because of you, John Duncan, Alex, though still smiling with his signature smile, his handsome face unconsciously distorted a little as he said these words

What do you mean

To be more precise, it was your Duncan family who forced me down this path, speaking of meritorious deeds, our Mosen family and your Duncan family are both the founding fathers of the kingdom, why your Duncan family has always pressed on the head of my Mawson family, why the rewards of previous kings are given priority to your Duncan family, and then my Mawson family; Why is the Duncan family always a duke, and the Mawson family is a marquis one level lower than you, I just can't see why every king is so fond of your Duncan family, is the Mawson family's contribution to the kingdom less than the Duncan family, for thousands of years, the young masters of the Duncan family have been enjoying happiness in the capital, but I, the Mawson family, has been fighting with the enemy on the northern border, how many family blood relatives have been killed in the war to resist foreign invasion, do you know that there are a total of 46 people, and your Duncan family only killed one James Duncan 100 years ago, but the king's royal family and the people only sing the praises of your Duncan family's loyalty, and turn a blind eye to the loyalty of our Alex, well, since the countryI don't take our loyalty seriously, and I don't have to swear allegiance to such a country, come on, John Duncan, you've got the answer, now let's fight to the death, Alex suddenly slashed at John, and the sound of the two swords clashing sounded

Pathetic fire of jealousy, hearing Alex's words, the king shook his head helplessly, sighing, in the Holy Book of Light missionary scriptures, it is recorded that mankind has seven original sins, namely: arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, among which jealousy is the second of the seven sins, and now Alex Mawson has suffered in the fire of jealousy, lost his nature, and eventually the fire of jealousy will burn him

The two knights faced each other for five or six rounds, and it seemed that the two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while

Alex, no matter how justified you are to hate me, John of the Duncan family, blocked Alex's sword, and said to him, you can come to my Duncan family, but you have betrayed the country, and I don't think the brethren of the Prairie Wind Legion will agree

Hmph, three of my nine squadron leaders have sworn allegiance to me, and four of the other six have been imprisoned by me as hostages for refusing to obey my orders, and their soldiers dare not disobey, and the other two have been killed by me, and as I spoke, several swords stabbed at John's vital parts one after another

You even killed Alex with your own brothers, are you still a knight, John said after defending against these moves, and at the same time he fought back against Alex, but at this time, a new round of pain came from the poison, and John's consciousness began to blur, and the movements of his hands slowed down

Alex grabbed a flaw in John's face and kicked him in the stomach five or six meters away, and John fell to the ground, his white lily-patterned cloak stained with rain and mud, and even the royal armor was stained with a large patch

Sue you, John Duncan, Alex lifted his sword, pointed at John who fell to the ground, I don't care what the price is, I just want the Duncan family to be wiped out

You John seem to remember something, my wife and daughter, are you giving ......

Hmph, Alex sneered, which was an answer to John

Not even a woman who has no ability to resist and a seven-year-old girl are not spared...... John stood up, his battle spirit burning to the point of confinement behind John Duncan's back, and the image of a roaring lion emerged

The Lion of Poehler - this is a term that suddenly comes to mind for those present, the nickname of the Duncan family in the kingdom

Alex felt bad, but before he could react, he felt countless invisible swords coming from all directions, and these attacks came quickly, many of them tens of thousands of blows--not hundreds of thousands, Alex hurriedly raised his sword to resist, but he was only able to block a few thousand of them, and most of the rest hit Alex......

Wow--Alex spat blood from his mouth, his body flew out sideways, and directly knocked down a soldier behind him, and then fell to the ground and rolled a few times, at this time Alex no longer had the grace and no one in his eyes just now, he lay on the ground like a dead dog, coughing blood, his blue cloak had become shattered, the pitholes on the royal armor were in tatters, it is conceivable that the body under this armor must not have a single inch of complete skin, and the more than 20 soldiers who were knocked down by him were considered to have fallen mold for eight lifetimes, more than 10 of them could not withstand the impact, and died on the spot, and the rest were all slightly and seriously injured, lying on the ground and groaning

Is this—Is this ...... Legendary ...... Light, speed of light...... Lying on the ground, Alex struggled to move his body, apparently unable to accept the fact that he had been defeated by the reversal in an instant

That's right, what you're seeing is the 'Lightspeed Impact Sword', and John stood where Alex was standing, answering Alex's questions word for word that Alex hadn't quite said

The light-speed impact sword is the legendary terrifying stunt that can shoot 300,000 swords per second, the ultimate battle soul trick of the Duncan family, I finally saw it, presumably 100 years ago, John's great-grandfather James Duncan fought alone in a bloody battle against three royal knights of the Fayele Empire, and the rumors are true, it seems that the strength of the royal knights is also superior, no wonder he Duncan's family has been suppressed, if it wasn't for the royal armor just now, I resisted 90% Now that I was a pile of pulpty corpses—Alex thought silently in his mind what he was feeling like now, only he knew

Alex, you go, John, walk up to Alex in the posture of a victor, your sin is not washed away with death, and you will be punished more than you can be killed by killing you

Today, John stands like a statue of the God of Victory.
