Chapter 21: A Fair Duel

Paladin was a very straight man, and he was always straightforward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"While your act of saving civilians is heroic, it doesn't overshadow what you've done in the past - especially what you've done in the Kingdom of Tarun!"

It was the first time Lin Qiu had seen someone who spoke so bluntly after introducing himself, so much so that when the other party mentioned the Kingdom of Talen, Lin Qiu mistakenly thought that he had peeked at the women's bathhouse. But when he thought about it, he realized that he was too worried, and he could find that his people were either peeking with him or in the women's bathhouse.

The person who peeked with him was called Julius, and theoretically Paladin, the prince of the Glorious Country, would not have refreshed in the women's bathhouse.

Paladin spoke in a bad tone, as if he had come to him for a fight.

Can you still eat this meal?

Why are these princes all hot-blooded people who like to fight, so they can't learn from Richard?

In fact, one of the purposes of Paladin's trip to the imperial capital this time was indeed to fight with Lin Qiu...... Oh no, dueling. A duel between orthodox knights is different from Dima picking up a knife in that it requires not only the consent and posture of both parties, but also a series of anti-lock procedures and an authoritative witness.

According to the Church's procedures, Templar-level duels must be filed and recorded in the Ministry's database.

A serious battle between the Templars was enough to destroy the town, and Lin Qiu and the others destroyed most of the Tarun Kingdom in a battle with the Sith was enough to show the terrifying destructive power of the battle. As a result, the Church had strict restrictions on the Templars, who would only choose to duel if they resolved some irreconcilable conflicts.

There is no direct contradiction between Paladin and Lin Qiu, but there are many indirect contradictions.

It is well known that the church originally planned to include Ophelia and Lin Qiu as candidates for the new candidates of the Inquisition, but before the official decision was made, Lin Qiu and Andychel had a big fight, and the church did not punish Lin Qiu in any way, which made a faction of believers feel that it was really undignified by the church, and Paladin was one of them.

As a prince of the glorious kingdom and a faithful supporter of the Church, he could not sit idly by and watch this happen. Even if the church doesn't hold Alyssa and Ramov accountable for this, he's going to do something.

So in addition to meeting Ophelia, this trip is to find Lin Qiu to duel.

The majesty of the Orderly Religion is not to be desecrated!

"For Gosya!" Lin Qiu took the wine glass and shouted to Paladin's words, and then ...... He instructed the maids to tidy up the table in an orderly manner, brought down some of the plates that had been "tainted" by Dima, and had a lively discussion with Julius about what to order, leaving aside Paladin, who had made a serious invitation to the duel.

Lin Qiu had heard about the church's dueling tradition from Alyssa and thought it was the most boring method.

If he really had a problem with anyone, he would never be stupid enough to put up a position with him and hire a notary to have a proper duel - that would not solve any problem at all! In other words, if he knew where the Sith lived, he would poison his food, buy bombs under his pillow, and set fire to the Sith while he was asleep.

"I hope you can face this matter squarely!" Paladin was not in a hurry, he did not make a decision to duel Lin Qiu in a hot head, nor with anger, but a deliberate decision - he was abiding by the duties of a knight, and the fundamental purpose of this duel was not to defeat Lin Qiu, but to make him understand the importance of obeying the rules of the church.

The church always precedes the individual.

"If you don't accept my challenge now, I'll keep coming to you until you're ready. Paladin said.

"Well, since you've challenged me sincerely, I'll take it. ”

Lin Qiu felt a tingle on his scalp when he thought of Paladin coming to squat every day. It's fine if it's a young and beautiful woman, but if it's a big man, I don't know what motives they have: "But the day of the duel will be determined when I'm healed." ”

Paladin nodded and left contentedly.

In his opinion, dueling with wounded people is also against the way of knighthood. But what Paladin didn't know was that Lin Qiu's "injury" was controllable, and as a master-level master of pretending to be sick, Lin Qiu could even be sick for a year or two in a row - anyway, if he lived in the imperial capital, he didn't believe that after the kings' banquet was over, Paladin could still spend time with him here.

"Oh, so you're Tyre Cyrus!" As soon as Paladin left, Stian also discovered Lin Qiu's true identity.

She and Andychelle were both Knights of the Round Table candidates and the first to know about it.

"You won't come to me to duel too, will you?" Lin Qiu felt that he had become a public enemy of the whole people for a moment, how could he meet a random person on the road, the other party would run towards him with an exclamation mark on his head.

"Of course not!Haha, young man, you're very powerful!" Seeing Lin Qiu's acquiescence, Stien laughed arrogantly instead, this smile made Lin Qiu understand that the relationship between the round table candidates should not be as united as he imagined. "I've been unhappy with Andychelle for a long time, and if it weren't for the church's strict prohibition of the alternates from fighting, I would have gone to trouble him. ”

As Keno said, the style of the round table alternates varies from person to person, and it's inevitable that they don't like each other.

In Andicel's style, it is the norm to affect the innocent in the mission, and Stian is precisely the representative of the pro-people faction.

"Well played, boy!"

"Huh, since you are forbidden to fight, how did the evaluation of your seat come about?" Lin Qiu asked curiously. He remembers that Alyssa said that Andy Chelle was the twelfth on the bench, which meant that at least 11 more people were stronger than him.

"Based on the number of tasks completed and the actual ranking every four years, so our seats change every four years...... When you say that, I think that in a few months it will be the day of actual combat. ”

"Oh, and what kind of seat are you?"

“...... Thirteenth seat. Stien's tone was obviously a little depressed, but she firmly believed that this thirteen seats only represented her strength four years ago, and in these four years, she completed a transformation: "You reminded me, I must give Andicel a good look this time!"

It sounds like Stien and Andicel have a lot of contradictions.

Twelve seats and thirteen seats, Lin Qiu had already begun to think of her and Andychelle's grievances.

"Don't worry, the delay in your acceptance ceremony is only temporary, I heard that Alyssa has been reporting to the church recently about the actual situation of your mission, and if it goes well, someone should be approaching you soon...... Young man, I like you very much, how about I be your guide when the time comes?"

Stien offered himself.
