Chapter 4: The Waiting Room of the Old Count of Lothar (Part II)
The Elan family has long passed a certain shallow stage. For the sake of the continuation of the family, for hundreds of years, whether or not there is a magical talent is what the family values. Those talented members have a talent in magic that determines the strength of their training, and those who don't have talent, even a sister-in-law like Thomas, can't accept ordinary words and can only go out on their own - of course, it is purely Marcus's cheap father who refuses to go back to live a stable life after he is down.
This distinction is even reflected in the family imprint. Only people with magical powers can trigger the badge's special effects, and those who can't do it with bloodline alone can only pull out an ordinary badge. It's simple, but it works.
By the way, even those who were judged to have no talent back then, as long as they can activate the badge, they can take this most direct evidence home and receive training in magic.
......
Some nobles know a little about the Elan family, and some nobles are ignorant. But the characteristics of this badge are what a discerning nobleman needs to know.
In any case, this means that Marcus is the worst and worst person who has magical powers and can use it, and is certainly a more important member of the Elan family.
- Although he doesn't really have the talent for it, it's just because all classes in Nephilim Legend 2 have mana. Even if he becomes a mage, he can't cast any magic other than his class skills.
"Come, draw your sword and duel like a true gentleman?" Marcus's provocation was not answered, and of course he saw the other party's retreat and hesitation, so he mended his sword in front of this large number of nobles and gentlemen. "Why, are you afraid, coward, if you are afraid, then leave your name and get out of the way, and disgrace your family and surname!"
"Damn, who's scared!" the other party was a little annoyed. He quickly calculated:
Magic is a very expensive business, but even a magic apprentice has the pride that comes from mastering magic. At least, noble magicians who are pretentious don't come out in such a down-and-out way.
And then consider the reputational damage that comes from avoiding war......
"Alright!" he got up angrily, walked to the door, and called out to his henchman, "Prince, go and get my sword!" With that, he glanced back at Marcus, "Where's your sword, boy?"
"No need. After the two of them had settled in the specially vacated space in the courtyard, Marcus flipped his wrist, and there was already an extra steel longsword in his palm that he had just bought yesterday, and a small wooden round shield—nothing considering the presence of magic.
His opponent's attendant took a beautiful jeweled sword for his master.
This is a weapon known as a hand half sword or handguard sword. It combines the lightness of the broadsword, the thrust of the knight's sword, the slashing and slashing of the two-handed sword, and the classic of the long sword. It can be used with one hand, both hands and with a shield. It has the advantage of length and attack power over one-handed swords, and is more portable and versatile than two-handed swords. As a result, it was common for knights to use the handguard sword as a backup weapon.
But Marcus would never have used such a weapon. It's not that it requires a certain amount of training to be able to use flexibly, but that for a big brush, this kind of weapon with a sword body that is too thin and easy to break is too flashy.
"Simon Abydis!" the nobleman gripped his sword, its edge raised, and assumed a defensive posture with the standard etiquette of a duel on his opponent.
"Marcus Elan!" Marcus replied with the same courtesy, "for the sake of you being like a real man, I'll give you a good time." ”
After speaking, he simply opened the [Power Aura], the small round shield was raised in front of his chest, the long sword was lifted upside down, and he slowly approached the other party.
Seeing Marcus approaching, Simon, blushing, decisively raised his sword and angrily charged at him.
As a player who has been addicted to Penguin's VR games for more than a decade, Marcus has more combat experience than the likes of battle-hardened veteran Wallace - with his 2,333 deaths in Azeroth & Warriors, he has accumulated combat experience that is not to be underestimated.
Marcus took a slight sideways step, and Simon's charge missed. He casually used [Heavy Attack], and a shield slapped on the opponent. The class skill from the Nephilim Paladin immediately caused the opponent to fall into a state of vertigo.
This skill that Marcus added to level 20 still only costs 2 mana, but these mana can add 300% damage - which means that hitting the opponent is a quadruple power effect - and by the way, it stuns the opponent for 4.4 seconds. In addition, the level 20 [Strength Aura] effect: when enabled, increases the attack damage of you and your allies, with a radius of 36 yards, and an additional 230% damage, so, although he didn't use much strength, it can be said that with a light slap, he almost knocked Simon to the ground.
Then he slashed the other party's throat with a light sword, without much effort......
Simon Abidi (lv8) dies and you have experience added to your experience pool: 230.
A message of experience flashed across the retina, and Marcus retracted his sword in satisfaction. 230 experience is not a lot, and now he only needs 500 experience to upgrade to lv6 at lv5, and it only takes 100 experience to increase any skill in the first level of the skill tree by 1 - although this skill does not improve much, such as [Heavy Attack] only increases the additional damage by 15% and stuns for 0.2 seconds per level.
The rest of the matter is very simple, or not much less to do without Marcus. Whether it's reporting the news or dealing with this Simon's aftermath, it has nothing to do with him. There are so many nobles here as a testimony that in such a sacred and glorious duel, it is legal to kill, at least on the surface.
Marcus, who has a grudge or revenge, doesn't care, and he doesn't expect those people to send him experiences in waves like in online novels. Because players generally don't care too much about this kind of small NPC, Marcus, who has been addicted to games for many years, is no exception. The small NPC is about the same as cannon fodder or Akalin on its own side, and it is just a walking experience pack in the place.
Therefore, he could sit back in the waiting room of the old Count of Lothar and wait for the summons. Marcus believed that after this duel, there would be no nobles who judged people by their appearance to provoke him for the time being.
In fact, it is exactly what it is. At the behalf, Mr. Simon, Marcus spent a short time in the quieter waiting room, until the earl's chamberlain opened the door and entered, interrupting the noise in the waiting room, and shouted—
"The Earl has invited Mr. Marcus Elam. ”
