Chapter 161: Duel
"You don't care about that. ”
Redheart chuckled, "My patience is very limited, if you can't do it, my support for you will also decline, I heard that the Brotherhood has recently risen a lot of new people, maybe I can pick a few talents." ”
"Wait, in less than a month I'll bring Downton's head. ”
Knowing that there was no chance to kiss Fang Ze again, the magic mountain teleported away.
"Phew, an ugly monster, you dare to beat Mrs. Ben's idea!"
Red Heart spat out with a look of disdain, if it was Downton, she would not have decided, and killing him after enjoying it would undoubtedly be the most wonderful thing.
At night, the Palace of Versailles is brightly lit, like a jewel and a royal majesty.
Although the head of Napoleon's family was not afraid of imperial power, he still had to do the work of face, so he landed in front of the palace gate.
"Lord Duke!"
The commander immediately greeted him, and the rest of the guard all knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Hmm!"
The head of the family sighed imperceptibly, the queen's control of Paris was still as pervasive as ever, he didn't think that the commander opened the palace door in advance, it was a kind of deterrent, telling him that his every move was under the surveillance of the palace agents.
"Your Excellency Downton!"
Seeing Downton and Saint Lily arrive, the commander hurriedly saluted, although according to the custom, it should be called Downton's title, but he is also a duke, which will invisibly reduce the identity of the head of the family, so he chose a name.
The strong men arrived one after another, and the commander had to salute frequently.
The head of the family did not immediately meet His Majesty, but waited a little longer, talking to the legends who arrived later, and talking about the recent cultivation experience.
"He's so calm!"
Downton pursed his lips and hurried to heal.
"Stupid. He was buying time, and I'm sure those in the know, including Count Rotan, are now dead. ”
Homer taught, "You can't just look at things at the surface. ”
"I'm not that stupid, okay? Holy Lily has already sent someone to protect them!"
Downton's tone was helpless, "Although I haven't mixed with high society. But I also know that at the level of Napoleon's head of the family, even if you have a mountain of ironclad evidence, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is whether the superior wants you to die, and what is the result of the game between the major forces?"
"If you can see this, why confront the head of the Napoleonic family?"
Holy Lily was puzzled, but with her intelligence. After thinking about it for a while, it dawned on me, "Are you trying to kill Vermaelen?"
"Yes, that guy must die tonight!"
Downton gritted his teeth, and every word he spat out was bloody.
"But you ......"
Vermaelen is a strong man of the third order of the marshal, and Saint Lily wanted to say that with your current situation, the odds are not great, but looking at his side face. The resolute edges and corners like a knife and axe, the eyes that do not hesitate and do not flinch. Shut all her words in her throat.
"Please come in, Your Majesty and the Empress are already waiting for you in the main hall!"
One of the courtiers stepped forward and greeted them with a gesture of please.
Downton took the lead and walked through the palace gate.
"Hey!"
Saint Lily sighed, this is a man. Having made a decision, they will go on with determination, knowing that they will pay a huge price, even death.
Inside the large hall, heavily armed guards stood on either side. Even breathing is a frequency.
"Wake me up in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"
The king sat on his throne, his cheek propped up with one hand, and looked sleepily at these high-end forces, which accounted for one-half of Paris.
"I heard that His Excellency Vermaelen's two quick knives have struck the invincible opponents of the royal city, I want to ask for advice!"
Downton spoke.
This remark made everyone stunned, they thought that when Downton saw the king, he must have denounced the evil deeds of the Brotherhood with fierce words, first stood on a moral stand, and then appealed to Vermaelen, the mastermind behind the scenes, but they didn't expect him to avoid talking about it and challenge directly!
"Today's young people have really big hearts!"
A stunned expression flashed on the face of the head of the house, followed by a narrowing of his eyes, and a comment in a tone that was not salty or light, to be honest, Downton's move disrupted his pace.
"Oh, Vermalen, what do you think?"
The king didn't expect Downton to be this kind of rhetoric, according to the original plan, he would let these two people fight, as an end, after all, at the level of Vermaelen, he would never bite out of his family, as long as he killed this marshal, it would be the biggest weakening of the Napoleonic family.
"Your Excellency Downton, if I'm not mistaken, you are injured, even if I win, I will not win!"
Vermaelen tilted his neck, his words were full of agitation, beating a half-dead Downton, he was full of confidence.
"Do you still want to have a life-and-death showdown?"
Downton smiled, a mouthful of white teeth exposed, so that under the light of the brilliant wall lamp, dazzling, with the handsome face and the figure of Yuanyu Yuezhi, the maids who stood by and waited were all dazzled, and they longed to drown in his sunny smile.
Only the strong can feel that Downton's smile is already full of cold blowing from the polar permafrost, which is heart-wrenching.
"Downton, don't take an inch, I gave you a smile for the sake of Princess Elaine and Princess Sissi, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Vermaelen leaned forward, as if he had turned into a predatory beast, "Openly insulting a nobleman, at any time, I have the right to ask you to challenge with your life!"
Hum!
Downton snorted, took a glove from his pocket, smashed it in front of Vermaelen, and then drew his dagger and threw it casually.
Bite!
Looking at the dagger inserted into the glove, trembling and shaking, the strong men gasped, throwing the glove represents the duel, and throwing the weapon into the glove is the meaning of life and death challenge.
"Is this kid crazy?"
"Tsk, young man, not sane enough!"
"Vermaelen has a reputation as a guard with a knife, not only is he one order higher than Downton, he is also injured, no matter how you look at this duel, there is no chance of winning this duel!"
The strong are talking. At this level, their reverence for royal power has plummeted, and the reason why they maintain etiquette is entirely because of the legendary powerhouse status of the king and Queen Liv.
"Your Excellency, you have to think twice!"
The strong man of the Guise family spoke up. Wants Downton to change his mind.
"Okay, I'll fulfill you!"
Vermaelen saw the head of the house nod imperceptibly, and did not make any movement, and the dagger and glove flew in front of him as if they were being pulled by a large, invisible hand.
Long before Downton arrived, the head of the house had sent someone to inform Vermaelen, so he knew everything that was going on tonight.
"A self-righteous brat, today is your death!"
Vermaelen stared at Downton, not taking him seriously at all. In my heart, I thought that after I went back, I would have to reorganize the brotherhood, and the rights that I had spent so much money to get were all in vain.
"My wealth!"
The thought of the heavy blow to the slave trade and the loss of income in the future made Vermaelen's heart bleed, and he wanted to slaughter Downton immediately.
"Brother. Don't!"
Elaine, dressed in pajamas, ran out from behind and went straight to Downton's side.
"Princess!"
Several maids chased after them with anxious expressions. Seeing that the entire hall was full of nobles, especially the king and queen were still present, he was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.
It is a capital offense to let the princess lose her honor in front of the minister.
"You're hurt again, I'm not going to let you duel!"
Looking at Downton's pale cheeks and wounds on his body due to excessive blood loss, Elaine burst into tears of distress. Hurry up and chant the magic and heal him.
"Elaine, what kind of body do you look like, don't retreat!"
The king reprimanded, but he didn't finish. was glared at by Liv, so she quickly closed her mouth.
"Elaine, come here, your brother will be fine!"
Liv, who has always been known for her bloody thirst for killing, showed a smile that was warmer than the sunshine in spring at this moment, looking at the queen who exuded motherhood, the strong men glanced at each other, her love for the third princess not only did not weaken because of the passage of time, but because of the guilt of not being able to take care of her for eighteen years, the love was deeper.
"Obedient!"
Downton stroked Elaine's hair.
"I don't, he's a marshal!"
Elaine grabbed the fingers of Downton's clothes and embedded them deeply, from childhood to adulthood, she admired her brother infinitely, because he always did what she thought was impossible, but this time it was different.
"Have I ever let you down over the years?"
Downton asked softly.
Elaine shook her head.
"That's fine this time. ”
Downton smiled.
"No, you're hurt. ”
Elaine was very stubborn and wanted to pull Downton away, if her brother was in full swing, she would naturally not be worried, but he was seriously injured.
As a healing Divine Tree, Elaine could feel how weak Downton's soul and body were, and as a scepter, she knew that the battle of the marshal level was already extraordinary.
"Lily!"
Downton was helpless, so he could only look at the saint for help.
"Lily?"
Listening to Downton's affectionate name for the Holy Maiden, the strong men were all startled, especially when they saw that the Holy Maiden did not blame her, and they all began to speculate about their relationship.
"Huh?"
Elaine looked at the Holy Lily suspiciously, if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Daughter couldn't get married, she would have suspected that her brother had conquered the girl.
"Trust your brother!"
The words of the Holy Lily are simple,
"But ......"
Elaine was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"As soon as a man has made a decision, the woman should stand behind him, silently support, win, cheer for him, lose, collect his body, and raise his children!"
The holy lily's expression was stern.
"Hmm!"
Elaine was infected by the Holy Lily's demeanor and nodded subconsciously.
"Hey, hey, this script is not right, no, what you said is not right, I haven't fought yet, don't pour cold water, okay?"
Downton rolled his eyes, and let the Holy Lily do this, and a tragic atmosphere arose.
"Hey, I'm just kidding, fail? How could Downton fail? Even if we were to fail, we could intervene on the way and mess up this duel, reputation? What is that? Downton's life is the most important thing to us!"
