Chapter 44: Then, let's fight a duel
The bad thing about Liu Ci is that the two choices she gave to the blonde female captain are really a "pit".
chose to save Jeff, regardless of his brother's life and death...... I guess it will be exchanged for the diehard loyalists of the two team members, right? Especially the burly swordsman who is not familiar with his strength, on the one hand, Liu Ci deeply felt that although Arnold had a silent temperament, he was actually wild and untamable, and he did not regard Lydia, the female captain, as the object of real conviction, but more like a passable mentality in the adventurous team.
If Lydia really subdues Arnold, it will definitely be a big boost in her career in the future. There is an old saying in China that "a man dies for his confidant", and there is a record of a thousand dollars buying bones, and today Lydia is willing to do this for a stupid Jeff, Arnold and Sam have seen with their own eyes, no matter what they thought before, they will become Lydia's diehard loyalists in the future.
But in Liu Ci's opinion, Lydia really had to choose like this, no matter whether this blonde female swordsman would make a career in the future or not, she would go as far as she could from such a hypocritical careerist, and she would have to drive Lydia and the others out of the safe area of the crystal mine, and let them fend for themselves.
A person who even abandons his brother who depends on him for his life, is comparable to the best actress, Liu Ci is impatient to deal with Lydia again.
There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and ordinary people, including Liu Ci, encounter the same situation, and they don't have to think about saving their relatives for granted.
If Lydia chooses to kill Jeff, Liu Ci will do what she says, not only to return it to the little magician, but also to cure him by the way. Jeff was too greedy to let him get out of the Moroch Mountains safely, he didn't know the depth of the crystal mine, but the secrets that were different from other places in the mountains couldn't be kept. Liu Ci's move not only solved Jeff, but also divided Lydia's team, Arnold's force value is high, Uncle Sam knows the Morok Mountains, and the two of them together are the guarantee that Lydia's team can get out of the mountains safely.
The team was divided, Arnold and Sam had a grudge against Lydia, and the only four-person adventure team was afraid that they would not be able to get out of the mountains.
This matter is not only Liu Ci is idle and panicked, the news of everyone's death cannot be spread, and there will be fewer boring people coveting the crystal mine in the future.
In fact, there is no need for a silver wolf to go out, with Liu Ci's strength, it is not difficult to deal with the adventure team, but she has sometimes learned a little bit of the ancient Chinese art of war, and the wisdom of the ancestors may not be impossible to use in a time and space continent, so why bother to personally contaminate human life to leave demons for future practice, after all, except for the bold and greedy Jeff, Lydia herself did not provoke Liu Ci, although she was unreasonable, but she was not a person who was cautious to the extreme.
Sister has said it, to be a stylish gentleman.
The stylish lady didn't think she was actually going too far, and no matter what Lydia chosen, the impact would be a disaster for the adventure party.
However, the blonde female captain did not play according to the cards, and actually broke free from the two choices given by Liu Ci, some naΓ―ve and some cute gave the third answer.
Lydia's expressionless words moved Liu Ci slightly.
The thin-cheeked blonde captain actually said that he could neither give up his brother's life nor kill Jeff with his own hands, the latter's mother was very kind to the Lydia sisters and brothers, and more importantly, Jeff made a mistake because she was the captain who was not strict in discipline.
So this girl thought about it, and the choice she made was to take the responsibility on herself!
Lydia first took the responsibility, and then according to the practice of the Magic Continent, proposed a "duel" against Liu Ci.
It was really an unexpected choice for Liu Ci.
She believes that Lydia is not playing tricks, after all, Liu Ci shows the other party an undisguised image, that is, a person who lives alone in the depths of the Moroch Mountains, is obsessed with strength, and has a strange and irritable temperament. Don't be funny......
Many thoughts turned in his heart, but Liu Ci shook his head noncommittally:
"The person who provoked me was the short, red-haired man, who killed you, and I still didn't understand this tone in my heart, and your proposal didn't do me any good."
Before Lydia could speak, Arnold already felt that Liu Ci was not only acting badly, but also deceiving people too much.
At this time, the atmosphere in the mainland is like this, and sword duels abound without saying a word between swordsmen, in his opinion, Lydia has given sincerity, whether Lydia is dead or disabled under Liu Ci, the two have fought once, and the matter is over.
Liu Ci didn't accept the move, not only was he cautious, but he was simply insulting a swordsman.
Although Liu Ci did not admit that those high-level demonic beasts were instructed by her last night, Lydia and the others obediently admitted that they had nothing to do with it. No matter what Liu Ci's own strength was, if those high-level demonic beasts really wanted to make a move, they would have no chance of winning.
But now, near the stone house, there are only Lydia, Arnold, Uncle Sam, the seriously injured Jeff, and Liu Ci, who is alone.
The rules of the game have always been made by the strong, and Arnold, who was born as a mercenary, would have died eight hundred times if he had really adhered to the dogma of swordsman honor.
If you join forces with Lydia, will you be able to ...... Arnold moved forward quietly, but with a small step, his position changed greatly, and together with Lydia, it was the encirclement of Liu Ci.
Liu Ci is not very accurate in looking at people, and when he talks about strategy, at most, he relies on the Liu family to lay a foundation for her when she was a child.
But since she practiced, there is another benefit that makes outsiders jealous, the sense of smell, taste buds, hearing, and eyesight exceed ordinary people too much, and more importantly, the sensitivity of the six senses, the subtlety of the perception of qi, and the current situation is best summed up in three words: murderous!
Liu Ci turned his gaze to the burly swordsman who was a head and a half taller than her and two meters tall.
The expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made Arnold feel that he had been seen through.
Once Liu Ci becomes serious, he has an aura on his body. Not to mention anything else, when it comes to seeing blood, Arnold has killed many people, and Liu Ci has personally slaughtered many demonic beasts. What's more important is that Arnold was born a commoner, Liu Ci is used to being high, she can be cute in the face of the Silver Wolf King, confront people, and the arrogance of the empty eyes is enough to completely suppress the opponent's momentum.
The mysterious temperament between Niu A and Niu C Arnold can't learn it for a while and can't figure it out, and the burly man only feels that Liu Ci has an understatement at him, which makes him feel his back stiff and his palms sweaty.
Just when even Lydia noticed Arnold's abnormality, and the latter was suppressed to the point of being out of breath, Liu Ci suddenly withdrew his gaze and smiled instead:
"Actually, it's okay to fight a duel, if you are lucky enough to win a move and a half, I won't pursue the matter of the red-haired short man, and if you don't talk about it, I will keep a few of you safe in the vicinity, do you think it's okay?"
Such favorable conditions?
Not to mention Lydia's disbelief, even the honest Uncle Sam thinks that the elf-looking girl is about to be a moth again.
Arnold's pressure was gone, and his IQ returned, and he immediately said, "What if Lydia loses?" β
Liu Ci sneered, "What are you going to do to negotiate terms with me now?" Let's talk about it first. β
Arnold wanted to say more, but Lydia waved her hand to stop: "She's right, Arnold, what else do I have to lose?" β
Anyway, the situation is already worse, Lydia also figured it out, Liu Ci has a bad temperament, but he has never seen it and shouted at a few people to kill, Jeff is evil to provoke the other party to retaliate, Liu Ci is willing to deal with her patiently, compared with some strange-tempered magicians.
If she had been favored by the God of Light, she would have been lucky enough today to win Liu Ci, and all the troubles would have been solved.
Looking at Lydia's expression, Liu Ci understood that she was tempted.
The people of the other world are actually very simple, and the girl who got cheap and sold well sighed secretly, since Lydia made the third choice, Liu Ci had other plans in her heart. Lydia's reaction was also expected by her, Liu Ci felt for the first time that he still had the talent of calculating people, and the old man of the Liu family was fortunate to hear that the most stunned granddaughter had made such obvious progress, so she was afraid that she would cry with joy.
Liu Ci was very satisfied, and Lydia was also satisfied after figuring it out.
The blonde female captain lifted her long curly hair, pulled out her long sword, and nodded to Liu Ci:
"Lydia. Hera will fight for her loved ones, for her teammates, and for the honor of the swordsman, so draw your sword! β
Liu Ci had a giant sword that she had picked up, and in her layman's eyes, the forging and material were much better than the long sword in Lydia's hand. Monk Zhuji duels with Lydia, a swordsman, and Liu Ci's pride does not allow her to bully people even more with her weapons.
Besides, if someone wants to take the initiative to accompany her to fight, if Lydia doesn't remember it deeply, Liu Ci won't be called Liu Ci.
She didn't go into the house to get the giant sword, her eyes swept around, and the bamboo Tai who was attached to the side of the stone house was bent over by the snow, which made Liu Ci feel inspired.
"You won't mind if you borrow a sword, big man?"
Liu Ci smiled and said to Arnold, who thought to himself that his sword was of better quality than Lydia's saber. But he can't refuse, otherwise he doesn't agree with Lydia's strength.
With a black face, he threw the saber to Liu Ci, Liu Ci took it out and praised "good sword", but put a few people aside and walked straight to the edge of the bamboo forest.
Abandon the stout old bamboo, pick and choose a two-finger thick bamboo branch, raise the sword in your hand, cut down the bamboo branch, cut off the branch, and leave the length of the long sword.
Returning the long sword to Arnold, Liu Ci shook the thin bamboo branch two fingers wide and as long as the sword.
"Let's get started."
Lydia's face changed!
Arnold's face also changed!
Honest as Uncle Sam, I have to admit that Liu Ci, who is dressed in a red coat and holding emerald green bamboo branches, stands in the white snow with a compelling demeanor, chic and uninhibited, which makes people admire.
But it's about the honor of the swordsman, isn't it too bullying for you to duel with the captain with a branch......
