Chapter 119, prevarication
"What?!This 'Julian' is not the 'Julian' you know at all?!" The eldest princess Fisna was so surprised that she stood up and exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Pratt smiled bitterly and replied, "The Julian I know does look like this, but he definitely doesn't have this ability. I've never even heard of such a thing as a way to hook up an entire army with a vindictive spirit and display tactics that are sufficient to resist the 'Storm Charge' head-onโhave you ever heard of such a skill as you are a noble person and have access to a lot of confidential information?"
Fisna shook her head, sighed, and sat back down.
After a moment, she asked, "So, what is your friend Julian?"
"As the man had shown before, Julian was a very good shield knight, and he was able to use the shield skillfully. Pratt said, "His most powerful ability is to be able to use the shield as a medium to cast a fighting spirit into a shield of light, whether it is a sword, a gun or an axe, it can be greatly weakened - this is the signature skill of the shield system, the 'big shield', and I will too, but among the masters I have seen, there is no one whose 'big shield' effect is as strong as his." โ
Fisna nodded, not surprised.
Although Prett is not very old, he is a well-known master blacksmith. Although he only did armor, or only heavy armor work, even the famous blacksmiths admitted that his skills were superb, at least in terms of armor, and that no one in the world could match him.
Since Julian is his friend, he should naturally have extraordinary skills. Cultivating the skill of shield to a level that no one else can match, it is similar to Pratt's style, so it is no wonder that they will become friends.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think...... Could it be that he has been hiding his strength in front of you? or...... When you get along, he never uses this trick, so he hasn't used it?"
Pratt shook his head and laughed: "Your Royal Highness, I am also good at using shields. Although I am a craftsman, when it comes to kung fu on the shield, I am confident that I am not inferior to many famous knights. The more insiders like us, the more we understand how unfathomable and shocking the stunt that person performed just now is. Such skills will never come out of thin air, and behind it is a profound heritage that ordinary people can hardly imagine. If Julian really had such a deep background, I couldn't have seen it at all. โ
"Didn't you say that he cultivated the 'Great Shield' to the point where no one could reach it?" Brev Cyrus, who had been quietly watching, couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that kind of background profound?"
Pratt shook his head repeatedly: "It's far from it! Although Julian's skills are clever, at least I can understand it, and it is nothing more than the words 'practice makes perfect'." Practice makes perfect, and it is the source of most of the so-called 'stunts' in the world. But these 'stunts' are things that mortals can do after all...... And the ability that person exerted just now, I really can't imagine, what kind of background does a mortal have to have to master such a stunt?"
His face was full of amazement, and his eyes were full of disbelief and longing, obviously both shocked and yearning.
But the people present couldn't see that in Prett's skill panel, the "acting" and "disguise" skills have been upgraded to a very high level, and even several related specialties have been opened.
Of course, all this he said was just nonsense. But as long as the acting is realistic enough, even if it is nonsense, it can deceive people.
After all, with the presence of the eldest princess Fisna, no matter how suspicious others were, it was impossible to use the spell of "detecting lies" on him. As soon as he passed the current level, he would immediately ask his fellow travelers to help him get a magic item that could avoid "detecting lies".
The bigwigs of the three parties looked at each other, of course, they didn't believe Pret's words so easily, but it is undeniable that Prett also made sense.
What's more, if that person was really Prett's friend Julian, would he be willing to be obscure and become a wandering knight after such a stunt?
Since he came to participate in the knight's martial arts ceremony, he is naturally a person who yearns for honor. What honor is there that is worthy of being rewarded for meritorious service, canonized, and from now on to create a family and glorify future generations?
He has obviously made great achievements, and he has great skills, and after that, high-ranking officials and knighthoods are indispensable, at such a time, he would actually leave? This is completely unreasonable!
It was only as Pratt said, that this person was not Julian at all, but a certain senior master who was dressed up as Julian. I don't know what this master is thinking, but he put on the appearance of Julian, came to play Hongchen, and played such a play.
Come to think of it, this is the only way to explain the miraculous "mountain array".
"I guess this senior is at least a hundred years old, right?" Princess Fisna whispered, "As people get older, their thoughts become very strange, and they can't understand what they're thinking......
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The traversers heard her words and couldn't help but pay attention to them. In the chat channel, Semiramis even said directly: "Fisna must know Devon Trella! And they have met more than once and talked a lot, otherwise she would not have such an exclamation...... If you want to say 'old man' in this Terera City, the first one is the ancestor of this Trera family!"
And on the Thracian side, the ambassador, whose face was sinking like water, finally showed a smile on his face.
I don't know who the senior master who performed his stunts is, but as long as he doesn't join Trella, it's okay to say anything.
In the past years, the Pitutz family may not have one or two masters who have unique skills but have left the family and lived a wandering life. Although it seems that the master's behavior does not have a good impression of Thrace, in any case, he at least did not mean to pass on the stunt to the Trela people.
That's enough! For the old-timers, there's no way to ask for more.
Brev narrowed his eyes and looked at Pratt for a long time, then finally nodded and said nothing.
Since the old-timer can make up for Julian's appearance, he has not yet been recognized, indicating that he must have a deep understanding of Julian. Considering that Julian is also good at shield skills - it is likely that this senior is Julian's teacher, or at least he is investigating Julian and considering taking him as an apprentice to teach him stunts.
But Pratt obviously didn't want to get into trouble, and saying these things would only add to his troubles, so he still didn't say it.
He believed that there were not a few people in the audience who could think of this, but since neither Terrera nor Thracian spoke, he would not be a bad person in vain.
After a while, the Trella Knights, who had won the victory, walked off the viewing platform, and Pratt sighed with regret on his face, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
This trouble is finally over!
