Chapter 39: The Duel

On this day, the nobles of Faust were boiling, and they had a new topic, that is, the two duels to the death that were to be held at noon tomorrow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Reilly learned of the news as soon as he returned to Faust, and although he didn't bother to inquire about it, even the people on the road were talking about it now, and he couldn't listen to it.

It is said that Richard will fight a Sanctuary and an archmage in two hours, but this is not much different from wheel warfare.

In Reilly's opinion, the two Sanctuaries of the Mensa family are basically dead.

Richard had already proven his strength on the battlefield of the Peerless Realm, except for Reilly, Raven, White Night, and a few other long-established Heavenly Rank Sacred Domains, no one could compare to him under the legend, and this was Richard's record before becoming the Grand Magus.

Now that Richard has returned to Norland, Reilly believes that he has become an archmage and has been given a powerful magical ability.

In the evening, the news that Richard had become the Grand Magister unsurprisingly spread throughout Faust. As a result, the people who were waiting to watch the battle had a new point of conversation.

Originally, most of Faust's nobles were not interested in the news of the Desperate Battlefield, where a random person was a Sanctuary, and he could die at any time. A dead strong man is nothing, so it's not worth paying attention to. In the eyes of some traditional nobles, those who go to the battlefield of the Peerless Realm are outlaws, and the glory of His Majesty the Emperor has overshadowed everything recently.

So, when the nobles were about to start the gamble according to the custom, they remembered that the acting patriarch of Akmund, who had been out of the stage of Faust for a while, seemed to have just returned from the Land of Dusk, and he was also a member of the royal conscription list, stationed in the Peerless Battlefield for a long time.

At this time, the curiosity of the nobles was also aroused.

It has to be said that when these nobles work together to dig out a certain topic, the energy exerted is indeed amazing, and in just one night, all the deeds that Richard can be known on the battlefield of the Peerless Realm have been excavated, even including his role in the conflict between Reilly and Rundstead.

But these are all small tidbits, and what really shocks people is the amount of time Richard spends on the battlefield of the Peerless Realm.

Three years, it took him three full years to become a great mage, and the current recorded record, although only during the Sun Never Sets Defense War, can also be seen that it is the result of suppressing the promotion.

In the middle of the night, in a certain secret room of the Mensa family, Jubilon almost hysterically shouted: "He has suppressed his magic power for three years, don't you understand what this means? A duel with a heavenly powerhouse, we are almost certain to die! Yulia, why did you agree to a duel with him in the first place, Richard is so cunning, I know that this must be a trap, a trap!"

The atmosphere in the chamber was oppressive, with only two rows of chairs against the wall, and nothing else. On one side sat ten old men with uneven strength, and on the other side were all mages and sanctuaries like Yulia and Jubilon.

Judging from the order of the seats, Yulia's position is only in the middle, while Jubilon is in the last seat, and there is only a separate seat on the main seat, on which sits the Duke of Mensa.

At this moment, Zhu Bilong had already left his position, shouting and screaming excitedly while scurrying back and forth in the secret room.

Yulia said coldly: "What else can you do if you don't duel? Let him smash the goods and sacrifices in front of us? Don't you know, there is that thing in the sacrifice this time, and everyone is level eighteen, the difference is only in the ability of the Holy Domain, he has just been promoted, and he has not even had time to familiarize himself with the ability, so you are afraid of becoming like this? Is it really like Richard said, our Mensa even dare not agree to the duel?"

"But...... But that's just recklessness. Zhu Bilong said angrily.

"Enough. Duke Mensa, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and the secret room suddenly fell silent.

Mensa's strength in recent decades is inextricably linked to that of the Duke, who has a wolf-like style, is ferocious, cunning, and aggressive. The Duke believed in results and conspiracy, never fought uncertain battles, and always tried to squeeze his opponent to the inferior side, just like Richard had in his duel with Mensa Jr.

And the duke's personality is absolutely short-term and grudgeful, even if it is a trivial conflict, he must find a way to destroy the whole family, of course, in most cases, the conflict is just an excuse, and the purpose is to destroy the family and seize the property.

So there was nothing wrong with Jubilon's words, but the occasion on which he said them was wrong.

The duke's face was as gloomy as winter in an ice bay, and he said coldly: "Jubilong, tomorrow you will play the first game." ā€

"Ah, why, I'm the archmage, why should I take the lead? No, I can't say yes. Zhu Bilong was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Fighting against the heavenly powerhouse, especially the heavenly powerhouse whose ability is unknown, the first one is almost certain to lose, especially the two of them are both magicians, in case they encounter attribute suppression, they will die, if you see clearly what Richard's magic ability is, then the second game can be prepared, and in the case of Richard's magic power consumption, at least some hope of winning, and the worst draw can also be explained.

"If you don't agree, you'll die now, and then I'll use your corpse as evidence to ask for a substitution duel. The Duke said with a grim expression.

Zhu Bilong shuddered for a moment, if he died now, it would not be as simple as death, he looked at the row of old people opposite him with pleading eyes, but those people were like lifeless zombies, and they did not respond to his cries at all.

"Yulia, you need the equipment to play the second game. ā€

Yulia just nodded.

Duke Mensa hesitated for a moment, his gaze swept over the row of strong men opposite, and then said, "If Yulia is also ...... also failed, then Samat, you go and provoke Richard to provoke him to fight a third game. ā€

Samat was the man in second place, and his most striking feature was the fiery red exploding head, he licked his lips and said frivolously: "I'm afraid he won't dare to fight." ā€

A new day has arrived in anticipation, and the Grand Dueling Arena, which can accommodate thousands of people, has long been filled. In order to get a seat, ordinary nobles rushed over a few hours in advance, even without even eating food.

Of course, the floating island giants have special boxes, and there is no need to compete for a place with those people, which is also one of the privileges of the floating island giants.

In the dueling arena below, more than a dozen archmages were arranging defensive magic arrays to protect the spectators in the front row.

A quarter of an hour before the duel, Richard appeared in the stands of the Akmund box, and he sat down indifferently to meet the tidal cheers of the audience.

Not far away, Duke Mensa's face was rather ugly, and the cheers of the audience showed the direction of their bets. The odds for this duel have reached a staggering thirty to one, and they are still beating.

Reilly and Rui Wen were sitting in the audience, and the female swordsman suddenly asked, "Why did Richard provoke this duel? Isn't he afraid that his magic ability will be exposed?"

Reilly smiled and said, "Because his teacher is Su Helen." ā€

"Did his teacher ask him to do this?" asked Riven curiously.

"That Highness doesn't care about such a trivial matter. Reilly spread his hands and said, "Richard did this just to prove that he didn't disgrace his teacher." Su Helen's magic ability and legendary ability are not secrets, and you can know it with a little inquiry, but people are still afraid of her. ā€

"That's right......" the swordswoman nodded thoughtfully.
