"Of course!" cried out the young nobleman, "inferior, get out of the waiting room of the Count of Lothar, immediately, immediately!"

The corners of Marcus's mouth arced upwards for a moment, and then vanished. He spoke slowly, "True gentlemen don't make a lot of noise in the earl's waiting room, and I doubt your pedigree......"

"You...... You...... What are you talking about? You undeserving pariahs dare to question a nobleman?"

"You say I'm a pariah?" Marcus was waiting for, and he immediately stood up with a visible rage, pretending to be in his pocket but actually pulling out a magic badge from his inventory, "How dare you say I'm a pariah? Only with your blood can this shame be washed away!"

"Oh,!"

Not only the nobles who spoke, but also a few nobles present also seemed to have joined the UC Interstellar Shock Department.

"How can there be a member of the Elam family? you know the impersonation—" The man's words came in a snap like a goose with its neck choked. Because Marcus injected a little magic into the badge and caused it to change.

This genuine magical effect is the best proof of this. But it also weakened the courage of the nobleman on the other side. Because the family coat of arms of a top magical family like Elan is not a pure, magical creature that automatically emits light and glows with a projection symbol, like the nouveau riche who have not established themselves for a long time, this trinket needs to be injected with its own magic to trigger the light and shadow effect.

For hundreds of years, for the sake of the family's continuity, whether or not there is a magical talent is what the Elan 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.

This means that Marcus is the worst and worst person who has magic and can use it.

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. So, the guy on the other side is really poor. Considering the cost of learning magic, it is likely that he did not master several spells.

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.

A nobleman with flashy weapons is full of confidence, and a magic apprentice duels a knight with a sword and shield?

"Baron of the Kingdom, Simon Abydis!" the nobleman struck his sword, the edge of his sword raised, and posed earnestly with his opponent in the standard etiquette that preceded a duel.

"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 charged at him.

Melee combat is always a good option against users of magic.

Unfortunately, Simon didn't understand the philosophy behind the proverb "mages add strength, archers play melee combat, and assassins just face up".

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.

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.

However, [Heavy Attack], which was added to level 20 by Marcus, still only consumes 2 mana, but these mana can add 300% damage - which means that hitting the opponent is a four-fold power effect - by the way, it forcibly stuns the opponent for 4.4 seconds.

If you use the level 20 [Strength Aura] enabled before (Effect: When enabled, increases the attack damage of you and your allies, with a radius of 36 yards, and the damage is increased by 230%), a small child can easily knock down an adult.

Because of this, Marcus didn't use much force, and it could even be said that he almost knocked Simon to the ground with a light pat.

When his opponent fell to the ground, Marcus immediately stepped forward to make up for his sword, and it didn't take much effort to slit his opponent's throat......

Simon Abydis dies and you have more experience added to your experience pool: 230.

Achievement: [True Sword Duel] is completed, and you have received 100 Platinum Coins.

Achievement: Completed with [The following offenses] and you receive 100 Platinum Coins.

Achievement: [Duel Master II] is completed, and you have received 100 Platinum Coins.

Achievement: [Ruthless] completed, you have received 100 Platinum Coins.

A message swiped across the retina, and Marcus retracted his sword in satisfaction.

Killing Simon Abydis doesn't give him a lot of 230 experience, and now he only needs 500 experience to upgrade to lv6 at lv5, and it only takes 100 experience to increase any skill on the first level of the skill tree by 1 - although this skill doesn't improve much, such as [Heavy Attack] only increases additional damage by 15% and stuns for 0.2 seconds per level.

And the 400 platinum coins obtained from the four achievements are even more precious, don't look at the 5500 platinum coins for a character column, and Marcus has only saved more than 2,000 platinum coins so far. Who makes the conditions of achievement difficult to achieve?

[True Sword Duel] requires a life-and-death duel with people, and the Yuexi Town side is more of a dueling between adventurers, and no one will be killed. Unless there is great hatred, you can fight to the death under the witness of the lord. A warrior like him, who is quite famous in the town, will not take the initiative to come up and seek death. After all, Yuexi Town is located on the frontier, and its customs are completely different from the atmosphere of those nobles and gentlemen in the royal city who want to fight to the death because of a provocation. The gentlemen of the royal city took pride in duels and used them as a means of success, hoping that their martial prowess would be appreciated by the big men, so that the king would order the restriction of duels, and then look at the current situation of the main army of the kingdom, and give a living example of "courage in private battles and cowardice in public war".

[The following offenses] require a duel with a nobleman as a non-noble, and the only nobleman in Mooncreek Town is the baron who is the lord, [Duel Master II] requires the opponent to make the first move in a real sword duel, and Marcus cannot let the opponent make a second move while winning, and [Ruthless] requires killing an opponent who is unable to resist in a duel.

These four achievements are all achievements that Marcus is confident that he has no problem with in terms of strength, but he has not been able to achieve them due to lack of conditions.

Therefore, as soon as the baron jumped out, Marcus seized the opportunity.

The rest of the matter is very simple, or not much 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.
