14 Crazy
The banquet hall was silent at this time, and people looked at the blonde young man who was thrown more than five meters away and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the black-haired young man who slowly withdrew his hands on the spot, and their expressions were extremely shocked.
"It's .... Spells?"
"He's a mage?"
"I guessed that he would fail to awaken, so I trained him to become a mage?
"Strange, did you hear the spell?"
“....”
After a little silence in the hall, all sorts of subtle and loud chatters began to erupt, like a swarm of bees, and the buzzing sound was very irritating.
At least that's what Jude felt.
He slowly got up from the ground, cleaned up the clothes on his body that did not have much dust, and looked at Alan in front of him, his expression was gloomy instead of pain.
"Do you still have a tiring spell?" he gritted his teeth and said this, as if he didn't care about his own embarrassment!
However, Alan was moved by this and vaguely understood Jude's true purpose.
"The previous martial arts fight was just a temptation, was it discovered?"
"Why?"
He was so puzzled that he didn't answer Jude's question in time.
"Very well," the blonde knight began to chuckle habitually, as if thinking that Alan had acquiesced to his question, "Come on, get ready, I'm going to have a real fight with you." ”
Then without waiting for Alan to respond, he said angrily: "Since you are not the kind of ordinary person who has no power, then what should I care about?"
"I think it's a misunderstanding. Alan thought it would be better to avoid this kind of thing, because he smelled something unusual in it.
However, the label he had given Jude before was not wrong, Jude didn't listen to what he said at all, and he didn't mean to reconcile.
"Why? still want to quibble?" Jude chirped, "You probably teased me like you do now, playing me like an idiot and applauding, right?"
"It's not a quibble, someone is using you against me. Alan frowned and said, his voice was not loud or small, not caring if his words were heard by the people around him.
Jude didn't care about this either, he sneered: "You're right, someone is using me against you, but you're obviously not at ease, so in the end I'm the stupidest, but I don't think you're happy, so..." He glared at Alan, his right hand began to move, tearing a piece of white cloth from his cuff, and then walked up to Alan, and threw it at his feet with hatred.
"So, to be used is to be used. ”
Looking down at the white cloth at his feet, Alan frowned: "Duel?"
"Why, you don't dare to agree?" Jude stimulated Allen with words, and his voice was raised a lot, obviously trying to attract the attention of the surrounding onlookers: "Wasn't you very good before? Why don't you dare now? Or do you think you will lose at the hands of my subordinate!?"
"It's not impossible..."
Alan thought thoughtfully, he looked up and said, "It's okay to duel, but it's a month later." ”
"Very good, listen to you, as long as you fight with me. ”
Jude chuckled under his breath, and didn't ask why Alan had agreed to fight him in a month's time, as he had said.
Then he suddenly raised his head and looked around, and under the gaze of the guests, he said aloud: "Martial arts are not very fun, so after consulting with this Mr. Chrissy from the reef, we have decided that we will bring you a wonderful duel show in the arena of thorns, and the time will be a month!"
The guests had already guessed about the white cloth and gnashing their teeth, but now that they heard him say this, they basically understood what they were talking about before-a duel! It was not a martial fight, it was a formal duel!
This made a lot of people look at each other, and of course, some of the audience members who didn't care about themselves made a lot of noise.
"Good!"
"Exciting!"
"Duel is fun!"
The response of many banquet guests was very enthusiastic, because compared to martial arts, duel is the real battle, and the real fight is obviously much more interesting than this kind of seemingly ordinary fight!
"This is also what they have planned a long time ago?" Looking at the two young men in the center of the field who were doing the closing ceremony, the fat duke frowned and looked at the bell knight beside him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I don't know anything about it. Knight Bell, who was asked by him, pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly: "Actually, I didn't even know about this fight, you know, Jude has always been very impulsive..."
"But he's your son!" Gross meant.
"Yes, he's my son. Bell sighed, "But he's an adult, Lord Duke, and I can't interfere with his actions, and even if I do, he's not obedient." ”
"Really?" Gross shook his head, "You are very capable," he said, "but you are not a proper father." ”
"I can't argue with your words. Bell bowed his head in shame.
"So," Gross turned his head to look at the arena again, "what do you think about the duel that is going to happen in a month?"
"This," Bell said after a moment's hesitation, "I'll tell him to throw in the towel if you need to." ”
Gross's expression was slightly moved, but when he saw Allen's expression of concern as he walked back, he suddenly laughed: "No, I'm going to let him fight my son-in-law with all his might!"
"What?" Bell looked puzzled as if he didn't expect the fat duke to say that, "But, aren't you afraid of any accident to him?"
"Accidents always come unexpectedly," Gross said, "so he needs to be vigilant so that he doesn't die halfway through." With that, he reached out and patted Bell on the shoulder: "But you don't have to be afraid of anything, if this duel really comes to life and death, I won't die without seeing it." He said, "Neither Chrissy nor Johnny can have an accident!"
"Alright," Bell nodded slowly, "as you ask, my lord." ”
Here the duke and his subordinates exchanged opinions, and Alan over there had already gone to the dressing room to change his clothes under the discussion of everyone, and then he didn't see him worried or proud, and continued to participate in the banquet with a calm expression.
However, unlike before, this time he was no longer unnoticed, and many people came to him after seeing him return to his full costume, although they had ignored him a moment earlier.
"Are you confident about the duel in a month?"
"You're a mage, I'm sorry, it's the first time I've observed a mage so closely, and I'm a little nervous, so..."
"Why a month later?"
“......”
As the fight ends, all sorts of problems come one after another, and this is the price of being in the limelight.
Not a good thing for Allen.
For these strangers who came up one by one, although he didn't think much about it, many people at the banquet were watching him openly or secretly at this time, and he couldn't show impatience, there was nothing in private, and in public, Alan had to take care of the face of the Chrissy family.
Although he didn't think the egg was useful.
The identity of the mage was exposed in public, but Alan didn't seem to care at all, and his face still didn't change, which made the hidden mages in the banquet all frown, and at the same time, the spell problem when he released the spell before also made them very curious, but compared to ordinary people, mages have become accustomed to hiding in the spotlight, so although they were curious, they didn't blatantly find Allen, because the current Allen represents the spotlight and attracts the attention of the people around him.
"Why a month later? I don't think you have forgotten that you can't use force for two months before and after the day of the descent, although this rule is rarely followed now, but as a devout disciple of Deliel's crown, I have always remembered it. ”
“......”
"Brother, don't be nervous, a mage is also a nose and two eyes, it's no different, you've even seen the Apocalypse Knight, what are you afraid of?"
“......”
"I don't have confidence in his Blood-Knight father, but he's just a Secret Knight," Alan shrugged his shoulders as he said this, as if to express disdain.
It's not that he deliberately shows off, but the knight basically has this attitude after accepting the challenge, although Alan is not a knight, it is necessary to answer the question in this way, because if you come to a modest and polite thing at this time, you will be looked down upon.
The stars are no different from their previous lives, and their attitudes are different, just like Gross said at the beginning, being too modest will cause disgust.
After answering a few questions one after another and satisfying the curiosity of the onlookers, Alan was pulled out of the crowd.
It was Margaret, who stared at Alan with deep eyes after pulling him to a corner of the banquet, and he didn't feel anything at first, but after a long time, Alan was a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I already knew you were a mage. Margaery asked pointedly, "But don't all mages need to chant incantations, why didn't you just now?"
This doubt is not limited to Margaery, during the banquet, many mages and guests who know about spells are curious, but this kind of question is a personal privacy, basically the curious people have no friendship with Allen, so they are naturally not good to come up and ask.
Margaret doesn't have so many scruples, and the two have been friends since they got along during this time.
"I will cast a spell in silence and chant a spell in my heart. Alan's answer was not very reliable, but Margaret really believed it, nodded as if she didn't understand, and then thought of something, and her delicate and elegant face suddenly dimmed.
"Renee is also a mage, and if she's normal, you'll probably have something in common. ”
"Renee...."Alan thought of what he had heard in the past few days, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry too much, things will always get better." ”
"I hope so. Margaret smiled reluctantly.
Renee's madness has been committed again, and she has been making a lot of noise for the past two days, so Margaret left Eren and disappeared, which was not to disappear, but to take care of her sister.
Because he also lives in the castle, Alan still vaguely understands some of the situation, and during this time, there are bursts of heart-rending laughter and broken gong-like howls from time to time in the top area of the castle, which makes him tremble every time, and he really can't imagine that the quiet little girl will become like this.
Alan wanted to help them, but he didn't know how to help, so he could just watch, but that didn't stop him from understanding the situation.
"Didn't you call a scholar from the Bachelor's Tower? What? He couldn't help it?" he asked.
"Scholar?" Margaret's face was a little strange, she bit her lip tightly, and was silent for a long time, she stared at Allen, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Scholar is also crazy..."
