Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Fat Girl's Challenge
The Duke lost patience with the fat knight under his command, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly heard the war-the-art artist Afaron whisper: "Your Excellency, you might as well promise him." ”
The Duke of Windsor was stunned for a moment, and promised him that he would let a knight go to a human mage with a real sword? If he won, the knights would be ashamed to be with him, but if he lost, which knight would be able to hold his head up in front of this human boy? But Afaron must have his purpose in saying this. The Duke of Windsor nodded and said, "My faithful knight, I grant your challenge. You may refuse, human boy, but you must hand over your equipment as compensation and apology, and my knight, if you lose, you must also surrender your equipment and your knighthood. Speaking of which, he is no longer ready to save face for the fat girl, Lu Jingzhi wants to admit defeat, but it is just a matter of tattered cloth armor; if the fat girl loses, he will be cleared out of the knight team. But everyone knows that even if the fat girl wins, he will inevitably be expelled, it is only a matter of time.
"My lord, it's not fair. Lu Jingzhi shouted first.
All the knights felt that the fat girl could not afford to lose this challenge, and when they heard the human boy say this, they all wondered, could it be that this young man would say good things for the fat girl? What Lu Jingzhi said next surprised them.
"Lord Duke, I have no long things, and even my weapons are borrowed from Lord Bergo. Before he could finish speaking, Bergo shouted in a low voice, "I'm sending you." Lu Jingzhi stroked his chest with his right hand, saluted, and continued: "Now the cloth armor on my body and the thin sword on my waist are all my property. And if this knight wants to challenge me, he should pay the same price. ”
The Duke didn't understand, and asked, "You mean he only needs to give you a piece of cloth armor and a rapier?" This teenager, he also wants all the property of the other party. ”
Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Duke, I think that since this knight can challenge a small infantryman, he should also dare to gamble his entire net worth." ”
Duke Wensha didn't realize anything yet, he only felt that what Lu Jingzhi said was also a little reasonable, but Afaron's heart lit up, this human boy is also a person who knows the art of war, at least he knows how to make the other party increase the pressure before the war. If it's a person, don't think about it, if it's a country, a little more pressure can cause the other party's economy to be fatally affected. It's a clever move.
The fat chick knight also flinched a little, he really couldn't afford to lose. The reason why he has such a little ability, and the reason why he has not died and not been brushed off for so long in the knight rank is related to his endurance. The fat knight, who was already so angry that he was about to stand on the table to challenge, slowly sat back again.
"Say, boy, if I throw in the towel, what do you want?" said the Fat Knight in a low voice.
"Your knighthood and your fiefdom. Lu Jingzhi's clear voice spread throughout the hall on the first floor of the main castle, and not only the knights present heard it, but also the maids, cooks, and servants behind it.
The fat knight's face was red and white, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Jingzhi angrily, and said, "Human, don't get an inch." I can promise you ten...... No, twenty gold coins, and I'll fight you for more. ”
Lu Jingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Then you will lose everything to me." That kind of strong self-confidence pressed over, like a wall, and made the fat knight dizzy, and he was about to agree to give the mining to Lu Jingzhi, but he heard the Duke of Wensha snort coldly, and said, "What about your courage?
Yes, I am a knight, and I have already discredited myself by challenging a human infantryman, and if I don't show some courage to come out, I am afraid that I will not be able to say it in front of the duke, even if I admit defeat, I will be deprived of my knighthood by the duke.
"Well, human, you forced me. The fat knight said to Lu Jingzhi viciously, and then turned to Duke Wensha, and said: "Lord Duke, I hope you can have mercy on my loyalty, even if I am defeated, don't drive me out of the castle, please leave me in the barracks and be an infantryman." ”
Duke Wensha nodded in agreement, but Afaron secretly applauded on the side, it seems that this human boy is really quite strategic, and has already made the fat knight subconsciously feel that he will lose, but it seems that this human is so fragile, does he have any tricks to win the fat knight?
Soldier, treacherous!
Of course, Lu Jingzhi has a series of strategies.
It is also a strategy to provoke this fat chick knight who is obviously not very strong, and then use various performances to make him fall into fear, and then make the fat girl give up some benefits through his aura, such as his mining estate. But Duke Windsor's interference forced him to face the next problem, the fat knight was going to really fight him. Physically, humans are far more fragile than the undead. Just being injured and bleeding can cause too much blood loss and die. Undead knights don't have these problems, even if their arms or thighs are cut off, they still won't bleed.
"My lord, as you know, I am a magician, and it takes a little time to prepare. Lu Jingzhi paused for a moment and said politely, "If you can." ”
"Absolutely, the challenge will be held tomorrow night and you will have a full day to rest and prepare. Duke Wensha said kindly, in his opinion, it was already a great thing for this human to dare to face the challenge of the undead, and when he was suppressed by the other party in terms of ability and level, he just asked for a little time to prepare, which was no longer normal for a magician. What's more, this human teenager was seriously injured not long ago.
Lu Jingzhi stood up, saluted Duke Wensha, and then saluted all the knights, and then said to the fat knight: "My lord, I suggest that you should drink a little more ice fruit wine to correspond to my magic." With that, he turned and walked out.
The banquet is still going on, the difference is that no one is in the mood to eat, but holds up the wine glass and covers his mouth, whispering to his friends.
"Who do you think will win?"
"I'm optimistic about that human magician, the fat girl is too weak, I don't even dare to kick his ass, for fear of accidentally kicking him to pieces. ”
"I think so, too. That human mage can unleash the Great Fireball. Fat chicks will be roasted mature chicks. ”
"I don't think so. I don't think this human can heal from a serious injury, so he may not be able to cast any magic. And I heard that he was in the border village, and he was seriously injured in one round. ”
In the midst of all the discussion, a voice asked, "Lord Gaso, you have been treating this kid's wounds all along, and you will tell us how he is doing?"
In a word, everyone's attention turned to the witch doctor Gaso.
The witch doctor Gasso is also one of the great undead who is qualified to sit in this hall but does not have the title of knight, and almost all the undead in the castle respect this witch doctor, and he is good at using herbs and soul tools to heal the serious injuries of these warriors and knights one after another.
"This human being should be the strength that has only been restored today. "Hiding in his large, deep cloak, Gasso said, "The strength of his body is so weak that a newly possessed undead servant can outdo him in strength." Gasso's voice was slightly hoarse and trembling, as if telling something terrible, "but there was another power in him, a power that I could not see. Although I can't see it, I know that it is very strong, so strong that it makes me feel terrified. Lord Duke, you know, I've only felt this way in my life for a legend. ”
All voices fell silent, and even the Duke of Windsor couldn't help but look at old Gaso, trying to see some clues in his face. But old Gasso was expressionless, like a real, lifeless corpse, and only the glint in his eyes indicated that he was still a living undead.
"He's the Destroyer of Great Legends?" the Duke's voice was extremely cold. He remembered that the great legend had spoken of a resurrected undead who had been found in Versetti. But there is also a dangerous hero in legend who will trample the entire undead under his feet. "Isn't that Destroyer an undead nobleman?"
"Lord Duke, the great legend does not mention that this conqueror must be human. Old Gaso thought for a moment and said, "But again, it is not mentioned that the conqueror must be an undead." ”
The whole banquet turned into a dead silence, and the only one with a hint of joy on his face was the fat knight, who felt that even if he lost to this human boy, nothing would happen. If he wins, at least he will earn back a little face, and it will not be worse than he is now, and if he loses, won't it prove that the human boy is more likely to be the legendary conqueror? In this way, not only is he not guilty, but he is meritorious. And there was no one more sad than Bergo, who didn't want the clever tax collector he had worked so hard to bring to the table to be the hidden conqueror, the bad guy who was said to be able to trample all the undead under his feet.
No one dared to speak for Lu Jingzhi anymore, and even Afaron, who had always been optimistic about him, stopped speaking out. Only the fat girl smiled and said, "Lord Duke, please rest assured. This guy's life is mine, and I must kill him before he shows his true form and throw him into the soul refining pool. ”
"My faithful knight, what an idiot you are. Duke Windsor scolded mercilessly, "If he is truly a conqueror, then you will surely die." The conqueror is the natural enemy of all the undead. If he isn't, then you've disgraced me, and I won't let you stay with me anymore. With that, the Duke of Windsor angrily picked up his golden goblet with ice fruit wine on his face and slammed it to the ground, "If that little guy loses tomorrow, you will throw this pig out of the castle for me." If that little guy wins...... And they killed him. ”
All the knights stood and saluted, indicating that they obeyed the orders of the Duke, including Bergo and the two high-ranking knights, only Gasso saw the fire in the eyes of the fat knight, and a trace of hatred flashed.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
