"As passive challengers in athletics, we have the right to decide how we challenge. Generally speaking, the challenge can be put on by oneself or assigned to one's own cronies to take the place of the battle, and regardless of the outcome, the loser should be punished according to the pre-agreed content. ”

"In lieu of a challenge?"

"Generally speaking, during a knight's knightly fight with a landless knight, the knight can assign his or her own substitute to fight. Therefore, according to the "Kingdom Knight Fighting Law", as a count among the nobles, I have the right to assign knights under my command to replace me. I'm not sure if you fall into the category of landed knights, and if you are, you have the right to appoint knights under your command; If not, then you'll have to go into battle yourself. Of course, if you are a landed knight and are very confident in your own strength, you can also go into battle in person, and I won't ask for much here. ”

Orobros knew that in the course of the development of chivalry, the system of chivalry had indeed evolved, and that it could be used to select others in place of challenges. This system was generally set up to protect the great lords, who not only controlled large armies, but also held huge political and powerful powers. Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to engage in knightly fighting among these high-ranking wielders who were vital to the state.

Therefore, these high-ranking lords have the right to appoint some of their own samurai or subordinate high-ranking knights to participate in knightly combat in their place.

Furthermore, a duel between a landless knight and a landed knight is in itself unfair to the landed knight. As an existence at a higher level of status, allowing him to engage in a life-and-death duel with an unlanded nobleman who is lower than his own strength can be regarded as a loss for the landed nobleman for no reason. If anyone can challenge the landed nobles at will, then the desperate scoundrels and ruffians can also challenge the landed nobles, and once they win, they can gain a huge territory, which is obviously not in line with the demeanor of knights and nobles.

"Well, I accept your offer. I was very confident in my own strength, so I decided to take it myself! ”

"Good!" Count Flanda nodded.

"Then it's time to make the bet: if you want to take ownership of the village from us, you must and should take the same equivalent as the stake, before you can challenge. Generally speaking, landed knights would take out the ownership of the land for fighting. However, when the Ground Knight challenges the Land Knight of the Ground, it does not have enough money of its own. Therefore, if the landless knight is defeated, then the victor has the right to dispose of everything he has, and his wealth, weapons, knighthood, wife, daughter, and slave will all belong to the landed knight. Of course, such a request is also reciprocal, after all, once the landless knight wins, he will get several times or even dozens of times the wealth, just take the landless knight's pitiful wealth, weapons, knighthood, wives and daughters and slaves for himself, it is already very fair. ”

As he spoke, Count Franda's gaze was involuntarily glanced at Euphemia, and it was evident that he coveted and coveted Euphemia's beauty. Obviously, if Oroboros is defeated, Franda will definitely choose to take possession of Euphemia. But this is also a fair move, as a person who does not own any land, how can you take all the property and territory of the other party by relying on a duel without paying a certain price?

For this kind of thing, Oroboros is not angry. Even if the other party will be angry, Oroboros will not be indifferent. For him, it is a very proud thing that his woman will be coveted by others. Because the most beautiful woman should be sought after and envied by countless men. As long as the other party does not act rudely to his own woman, Oroboros will not hurt the other party in the slightest.

However, if someone else dares to touch their own woman, then Oroboros will definitely show no mercy to the other party. Don't think that Oroboros usually looks very tolerant of everyone, but once he touches his bottom line, he will also let the other party experience what life is worse than death.

However, I don't want to write my character as a person who is willing to give up when he encounters a "liking" plot, and I don't want to set up all the villains in my pen as mentally retarded characters who will be desperate to fight the male protagonist when they see the heroine. ）

"I know what you want, but sadly, I don't bet what you want on the table. I'm not so cheap as to bet on the people who matter to me to the table as chips! It's not about personal dignity, it's just that because everyone has their own destiny, I can't take the fate of others as a sacrifice. ”

Count Franda could feel the unmistakable resoluteness in Auroboros's tone, and he also realized that what he had just said was tantamount to an insult to others.

He decided to use his own methods to eliminate this insult, but he did not intend to back down because of this, but stubbornly pushed it forward: "I understand that I just said something that I shouldn't have said, so I can also understand the anger in your heart." But if this village is my only fief, and this fief is taken away by you, what fate awaits me? If I'm lucky, I might be able to serve as a knight with a lord with whom I have a good relationship; If I'm unlucky, I risk dying at the hands of my enemies in the past. Of course, I may also become a mercenary in the mercenary clubhouse, in the hands of some unknown monster in the jungle; Or they take their wives and children to the streets, praying for food from others. ”

"I understand this, so I'm not offended by your words." Oroboros pulled a token out of his bosom and threw it into Franda's hand.

Franda carefully rummaged through the token in her hand, a magic token made of gold. On this magic token, two hungry wolves are carved fighting and fighting each other, and they are covered in blood as they fight each other. Through the token, Franda could clearly see every hair and scar on the two hungry wolves, and even the most dexterous craftsmen in the kingdom could not have carved such lifelike statues. At the same time, this magic token is also engraved with mysterious spells that he can't recognize at all, and these mysterious spells constitute a magic running circuit that he can't decipher completely.

As a nobleman, Franda had studied some magic, so he could feel that this token contained quite powerful magic, and it was definitely not an ordinary mortal.

"As I said, I'm not so humble as to bet on people who matter to me to the table as chips."

"Mr. Oroboros, this magic item is ......"

"The name of this item is the Wolf King Token! It is a symbol of power held by the rulers of the Werewolf Empire in ancient times, and only the strongest warriors of the Werewolf Clan can own this token. Holding this Wolf King Token can summon powerful Werewolf warriors, who will unconditionally obey the summoner's orders. Of course, the premise is that you have enough gold, and only by paying gold can you summon a powerful warrior from the Wolf King Token. As long as you have enough gold, it is not impossible to summon even a werewolf warrior as powerful as the kingdom warrior chief. ”

"Please wait a minute, let me check the authenticity of this item!"

Baron Wallon, who was standing next to him, immediately asked Franda for the Wolf King token in his hand, as a nobleman of the kingdom, Baron Wallonia did not have strong magical powers, but he had an innate talent for item identification, which allowed Baron Wallon, who only had the strength of a second-order magician, to use the magic of fifth-order item identification. In the high society of the kingdom, Baron Wallon's strange talent allowed him to easily determine the value and hidden power of all the treasures in the world, so he had the title of the world's number one prop appraiser in the kingdom.

"Fifth Order Prop Identification!"

Baron Wallonia and the others looked at with curious eyes. Baron Wallon's expression gradually became more complicated than he was confident at first, and even became a little hideous in the end. The last Baron of Wallon breathed a sigh of relief, and he let go of his hands tightly, and handed the Wolf King token back to Oroboros.

"Auroboros, I'm sure your item is exactly as you claim to be working. Therefore, I have decided that you can have an equal duel with Count Franda as a landed knight! ”

Pavlov cautiously patted Wallonia on the shoulder: "Hey, hey, Baron Wallon." It's not a good thing to say that! ”

Although in terms of title, the status of the Baron of Wallonia was lower than that of the Count of Flanda. However, due to his natural talent, Baron Wallonia had a very wide circle of contacts, and through this he made very close friendships, including the six dukes who stood at the top of the kingdom.

"Pavlov, since it is a duel, then the rules of the duel must be observed. To be honest, I don't think this village is worth as much as this magic token. Even if I put my territory together, it can't compare to the value of this magic token. According to the Law of Fighting, I think Oroboros can fight with Franda on an equal footing between landed knights. ”

The so-called equal fight means that Franda must fight Oroboros herself. Through the sword, to protect their own interests and glory.

Baron Wallonia, whom Pavlov knew, did not say such a thing because he had a relationship with Count Franda, and the reason why he asked Franda and Orobros to fight on an equal footing was only out of etiquette among the nobles. This is also a peculiar rule between nobles, once it is determined that the other party has the same status as oneself, the conflict between them will be handled according to the etiquette between nobles.

Before Auroboros took out this item, Baron Wallonia, although he was a little afraid of Oroboros, still did not look at Oroboros as an equal. However, when he took out the item, he recognized the identity of Oroboros. This is also a fault of the aristocracy, it does not mean that you have great power and even if you are a member of the aristocracy (for example, Gurdjief is not regarded as a member of the aristocracy), only with the temperament and quality of the nobility, everyone sees you as a part of themselves.

"According to the Law of Fighting, on an equal footing, the warring parties should be free to choose their fighting style, right?"

Baron Wallonia nodded, "That's true! ”

"I don't need Count Franda to fight me on an equal footing. I approve of Count Franda's words and deeds, so I will not force Count Franda to engage in hand-to-hand combat with me, and Count Franda can still send his own warriors to fight me. ”
