Chapter 90: Acceptance
Leo ignored Viscount Rubin's lecture to his son, and walked directly past Paul towards the door of the temple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The front of the info temple was already full of nobles waiting for the sacrificial ceremony, and several members of the Brontë family were also there, so Leo naturally couldn't and was embarrassed to continue to hold Miss Winnie's hand, and just walked side by side with Miss Winnie.
Although they didn't see the picture of Leo and Miss Winnie holding hands, the nobles could guess just by looking at Paul's reaction, and the scenes and the love entanglements between several people were made up in the minds of the nobles who had been waiting impatiently, and some of them could even deduce a poignant love play.
Viscount Brontë and Baron Duke looked at each other in the crowd, both with a helpless wry smile on their faces, although neither of them was optimistic about Paul, but at least they hoped that they would not be at odds with the Milne family because of this incident.
This scene that happened in front of the temple, naturally, the clergyman gave a message to the chief priest of the temple. The chief priest of the temple was furious when he heard this, but considering that the upcoming sacrificial celebration should not be neglected, he had to suppress his anger for the time being, and at the same time secretly made a note in his heart to Milne and his son.
The ritual of the temple was so long and dreary that Leo almost fell asleep, but he had to maintain a respectful attitude on such occasions that Leo would cry out in his heart for regret. However, Leo quietly looked left and right, and those aristocratic men and women were also similar to Leo, one by one they couldn't bear this dull prayer ceremony, but they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to grit their teeth in private.
finally survived until the end of the festival, and the nobles got up and came out according to their status like a movie theater.
As soon as Leo stepped out of the temple gate, a figure jumped in front of him, a white glove thrown from his hand, and slowly floated down in front of Leo.
"Hillbilly, I'm going to duel you!" Paul had been waiting for Leo in front of the temple since he came out, eager to challenge him again for a duel.
How could those poor and boring nobles miss this good show? The two of them suddenly gathered around a group of people watching the excitement, if it weren't for the fact that this is the Harvest Goddess Palace, I'm afraid everyone would have already made a noise.
"Can't promise him!" Miss Winnie flashed out of the crowd, grabbed Leo's arm and said, "Paul has been learning swords since he was a child, and his swordsmanship is quite skillful, don't fall for him!"
Seeing Miss Winnie protect Leo like this, Paul's face was a little distorted with jealousy, and he said in a cruel voice, "Hillbilly, you must not hide under a woman's skirt and dare not come out! If you are afraid, then get out of Silverstone and go back to your country to play in the mud!"
Leo reached out and patted Miss Winnie's slender hand on his arm, and said, "Don't worry!
Miss Winnie raised her head, looked at Leo's handsome face full of confidence, and couldn't help but feel sure in her heart, as if she was infected by Leo's self-confidence, nodded and said, "Of course I believe in you!"
Leo bent down to pick up the silk white gloves from the ground, and said to Paul: "Since you want to duel me three times and twice, then I accept your challenge, and you can decide the time and place, and I will accompany you at any time!"
At the foot of the temple steps, Feng Xifan, who was waiting for Li Ao to come out of the crowd, saw this situation, and the old man smiled gloomily, he knew Li Ao's skills best, the foundation of Kunlun's internal force had been introduced, and his swordsmanship and body skills were all small, and it was easy to deal with a peer.
Paul didn't know this, but he was ecstatic when he saw Leo agree to the duel. As Miss Winnie said, in order to better inherit the Milne family, Viscount Rubin has invited famous teachers to practice swordsmanship for Paul since he was a child, and Paul has also practiced hard and unremittingly, and at the age of eighteen he has already beaten all over Silverstone, and the younger generation is unbeatable.
"Well, since you have agreed to a duel, then we will have a public duel in front of all the inhabitants of Silverstone at the Athletic Tournament tomorrow, and the loser must leave Miss Winnie forever! Only the victor is worthy of the most beautiful and brilliant flowers of Silverstone!" Paul said aloud what had been prepared for a long time.
Seeing that Leo agreed to the duel, Viscount Rubin, who was full of confidence in his son, couldn't help but show a smile on his face, but this smile made those who had been paying attention to Shangguan's expression mistaken.
A stocky figure flashed from Viscount Rubin's side and shouted, "Wait a minute!
This short and fat man was Baron Dewar, who had been forced to buy a war horse on the Brontë family's estate. Seeing that Baron Dewar was about to challenge Leo, there was a commotion in the noble crowd, and all the voices of laughter shouted, "Baron Dewar, what are you kidding?
"Haha, don't look at your fat body, where is it worthy of the most delicate roses in our Silverstone City!"
Baron Dewar, even if you win, Miss Winnie will not look down on you!"
Baron Dewar was so angry that he yelled at the crowd, "Shut up!"
After roaring, Baron Dewar turned to Leo and said: "Baron Leo, in the name of my family's cavalry, I want to challenge you in a group fight, cavalry against cavalry, if you lose, you must compensate me for your warhorse!"
"Wow~!" as soon as Baron Dewar's words came out, the noble crowd suddenly booed. This is clearly a stone to seek to rob other people's war horses, the northern nobles who abide by the ancient aristocratic demeanor have always respected bravery, and Baron Dewar's practice has been unanimously despised by the nobles.
Everyone knows that Leo is a new nobleman, even if he has formed a territorial cavalry team, he has not been trained for a long time, how can he compare it with the guardian cavalry of the Baron Duwar family, which clearly relies on the strong to bully the weak and bully Baron Leo.
"Yes, I'll promise your challenge, but if you lose, don't forget to keep your horse!" Leo agreed without hesitation to Baron Dewar's obvious challenge.
After saying that, Leo loudly announced to the nobles present: "Ladies and gentlemen, I must have heard you, just now I have agreed with Mr. Paul Milne for a personal duel, and with Baron Dewar, for a cavalry duel under my subordinates!
"Baron Leo!
"Leo~" Miss Winnie shouted softly with great concern.
"Don't worry, don't forget, you have to trust me!" Leo smiled softly at Miss Winnie.
Leo waved his hand to Miss Winnie, and then said to Paul and Baron Dewar, "Let's see you tomorrow!"
After speaking, he turned around and left the Harvest Goddess Temple
