Chapter 53: The situation is becoming more and more chaotic
The old craftsman Hepburn's original dry yellow hair became scorched black and curly, and there was a little confusion in his eyes:
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
What happened just now? ”
"Master!" Olena, who was the ultimate little cleanliness fetish, hurriedly stepped forward, took out the usual fabric from the package, took off the monocle hanging from the old craftsman's eyes, and wiped it.
Luckily, the glasses are fine.
The old craftsman looked at the black-gray dust in his hand and said with doubts: "If the spirituality is too abundant, this picture scroll is a huge energy storage pool, which can carry a lot of energy.
Even if my psionic energy doesn't match this painting, it won't explode!
It shouldn't be! How could it explode? ”
"Teacher Hepburn, didn't you say before that if there is a lack of spirituality in the painting, it will explode because it can't carry the spiritual energy?" Little Lina reminded in a whisper.
"How is that possible? A genius apprentice who is rare in 10,000 years, even if he paints casually, he can't be without spirituality, there must be something wrong. Old Hepburn decisively went back.
Pointing to the painting, he said, "Look at this painting, it's so special, where is the work that ordinary people can paint?" ”
Several people nodded their heads, thinking that this was not done by ordinary people, and ordinary people could not draw such ugly and fresh things.
And the old craftsman kept shaking his head, pointing to the painting and saying that it was free, fresh and unconventional...... A bunch of difficult terms, and the courtyard is full of cheerful atmosphere.
In the end, the old craftsman couldn't convince himself, as if he had lost all his spirit, his eyes were empty like a dead pool, and he said in despair: "What's going on, there must be something wrong......
With difficult words in his mouth, the old craftsman was no longer in the mood to teach.
Today's class ended early.
"Huh? Ay? Ay? Didn't I come here as a genius? Is this a situation of gods and demons? After the old craftsman left, he left Zhu Ping, who didn't understand the situation.
Sometimes Lady Luck habitually ignores people's love.
Little Lori, who symbolizes troubles, will arrive one after another.
Nina's maid, who was originally selecting talents, ran in in a panic, which was extremely unusual for Aunt Nina, who was very concerned about etiquette.
"What's going on? You take a sip and speak slowly. Zhu Ping knew her character, and if she hadn't encountered a very serious incident, she would never have been so out of shape.
Could it be that the killing of the nobles made a big fuss? This is really troublesome...... Zhu Ping's heart turned a thousand times, thinking about countermeasures, and thinking about how to protect himself.
Certified and unlicensed prepared in advance can form a closed-loop "forged version" of the action trajectory, which can also come in handy.
"Holy Duel, Whoop, Holy Duel......"
Nina's chest continued to rise and fall, panting, forced to swallow saliva, and quickly explained:
"Baron Peggy has sent a message for a sacred duel with you, at Gem Square in the center of the street, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning......"
"Sacred Duel?" Zhu Ping frowned, his expression changed slightly, of course he knew what the Divine Duel was, but he also knew the rules of the Divine Duel......
The time and place should have been agreed upon by the two sides of the decisive battle, how could it be decided so easily, when you want to duel, when you want to duel, if this is the case, won't the aristocratic system be chaotic?
"I haven't received the news on my side yet, and Peggy's side has started to build momentum for the duel, and it seems that he should pay a lot of money to force the time."
Zhu Ping pressed Nina to his seat and muttered to himself: "Of course, even if the other party pays the price, it must be because I am outside the power field and my popularity is too bad to succeed."
None of this matters, it's the ...... Is it simply to get revenge on me for paying such a big price? Or is it something else? Forget it......
At present, it is certain that the other party has paid such a big price to bypass me to establish time, and it must be that he has made all preparations for the divine duel in advance, and it seems that the trouble this time will not be small......"
Nina came back with her front foot, and a maid ran in in a panic on her back foot, and said hurriedly: "The king's personal guard is waiting outside the castle, and there is an order from the king to invite you out to negotiate." ”
"Okay! I know. You go out first and make them wait a little longer, saying I'm picking out decent clothes. ”
Zhu Ping uses this pigeon way that has been passed by various worlds to stall for time.
Having a moment to breathe, he walked into the castle, and changed his clothes to change his clothes, but while changing his clothes, he was also earning time to think about some countermeasures.
Should I go to the Holy Duel or not?
Do you agree or refuse......
If you agree, the battle will inevitably bring risks, and with the fire of the evolution of your hometown civilization in your hands, the risk of such a risky behavior is too high, and the consequences are unimaginable.
If you refuse, it is equivalent to admitting defeat, and according to the treaty of the Holy Duel, the winner will receive all the wealth of the loser.
At the same time, it is also a great blow to reputation.
In this way, not to mention the wealth accumulated with great effort, the image of the strong man that has been created with great difficulty will inevitably collapse, and the formation of a force with centripetal force will become empty talk.
If you want to turn the tables around, it's going to be difficult.
In this world, there is no "primitive, accumulation", isn't it a joke to want to set a small goal to make a lot of money? Money and power are not blown out.
In this era, empty-handed, no matter how smart a person is, he can't get rich, even if he has enough strength to make a comeback, he needs a long time of operation and "bloody accumulation", and he also has a certain amount of luck.
"To go or not to go......"
After Zhu Ping got dressed, Lina trotted in, helped him fix the folds at the corners and corners, looked at him deeply, and encouraged him silently with her eyes.
Then she turned around and left, without saying any words of consolation, she was a smart girl, so she knew that at this time, it was up to Zhu Ping to make her own choice.
"Choice!"
Zhu Ping looked at the sky outside the window, and couldn't help but feel afraid of the choice in his heart.
It's not the fear of fighting, it's just the fear of choice.
The left and right hands hold the "heavy fruit" respectively, and in the past, it was the hometown boss who helped choose.
And today, now, at this moment, when the choice is on one's own, I really realize how heavy the "responsibility" is.
The expression on Zhu Ping's face was a little unnaturally hideous, Yin Qing changed for a long time, his fists clenched slightly, and his eyes gradually changed from blank to sharp:
"Go, what don't you dare to go, the wizards in Sequence 8 have been killed, and the wizards in Sequence 9 are a fart!"
If he had just come to this world, he would never have made this decision.
If he hadn't killed a noble wizard, he wouldn't have dared to make this decision.
He has always been afraid that he will be changed by the world, and in fact, from the first step he stepped into this world, he has already begun to change.
……
The doorway of Hall Castle.
Zhu Pingfeng walked slowly and lightly, with a smile on his face that he had known for a long time, and said to the kingdom guard: "The king and knight are coming, and if you miss the distance, you will forgive your sins." ”
This set of ancient hometown routines, although it is novel here, is still extremely practical.
Strictly speaking, the chief of the guard was the head of the king's personal army, and although he was called a knight, he was not technically a "semi-noble" person.
Zhu Ping's words are clearly praised.
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.
The face of the king's chief guard changed from serious to embarrassed, but he immediately became a little more cordial, and came forward to compliment Zhu Ping for a while.
Then, he coughed lightly, pulled out a parchment scroll, and read, "Lord Baron Hall, Baron Peggy has launched a sacred decisive battle against you, and it has now been voted on......"
After Balabala's talk.
The chief of the guard handed the challenge to Zhu Ping and said earnestly: "Baron Hall, this is an excessive move made by some big people, but this does not represent the opinion of His Majesty the King, you can not see it!" ”
"Why, I know that His Majesty the King also has difficulties." Zhu Ping shook his head and smiled lightly, anyway, he was pretending to be polite! Just go straight to the end.
"Sir Hall really understands the righteousness of beating people!" The tone of the guard commander was much closer, and then he personally handed over the box in the hands of the soldiers behind him to Zhu Ping's hands.
"This is ......" Zhu Ping was slightly puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.
The chief guard smiled heartily and said, "Lord Hall, didn't you auction the gems before?" His Majesty has purchased it and given it back to you. ”
And this kind of good thing? There will be no fraud, will it...... Zhu Ping's eyes flashed, and he handed the gem to the butler Nina's hand, representing the acceptance of the gift, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a heart." ”
Gemstones are worth a lot of money, don't be in vain...... Zhu Ping understood that this was the king's kindness to him again, and the kindness did not matter, and he was not a child, so he would not be bought by this little monetary benefit.
"Open the challenge book and take a look." The head of the guard raised his eyebrows, his eyes aimed at the challenge book in Zhu Ping's hand.
According to the rules of my hometown, is there money stuffed in it...... Zhu Ping opened the heavy brown paper, found that there was nothing inside, and could not be disappointed, so he shifted his attention to the words on it, and said in surprise:
"Date...... Is it the day after tomorrow? ”
The chief of the guard was very satisfied with Zhu Ping's shock, his eyes swept left and right, and reminded in a low voice:
"Although His Majesty the King cannot reject the proposal for a sacred duel, he has also done his best to delay the time by one day, hoping that Lord Hall will give you a victory."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"It's all your own family, Lord Hall, if you say that, you'll be out of sight." The chief guard smiled.
Zhu Ping smiled back.
The two sides talked for a while in the spirit of "aristocratic exchange etiquette" and talked for a while.
After the captain of the guard leaves.
The eager smile on Zhu Ping's face instantly turned cold, fell into deep thought, and said, "What is this old guy going to do, the king?" Is it just a show of favor to me, or is it some kind of intention?
The situation is getting more and more chaotic! ”
