Richard struggled to overcome the feeling of weakness, and the golden fireball just now drained eighty percent of his magic power, reaching the level of eighth-level magic with the amplification of the tactical power guide, and defeated Xiao Mensa in one fell swoop.

The Grand Magus, who was the referee, did not announce the end of the duel, but looked at Richard. The duel of life and death ends either with the death of one of the parties or with the winner stopping on his own initiative. Little Mensa was seriously injured, but he was not dead.

Richard strode towards Little Mensa, and the Duke of Mensa in the stands let out an angry roar: "Richard, you dare!"

Richard slowly drew his long knife and said to little Mensa, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to do with this knife? Now I can tell you that I'm going to slit your throat with it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slit the throat of little Mensa.

The heart-rending roar of Duke Mensa rang out from the box, and the sky above Richard suddenly darkened, and a figure lunged at him. Before the man arrived, the fierce momentum firmly suppressed Richard, making him unable to move. The strength of the raiders far surpassed that of ordinary sanctuary, and they were not far from the legend.

Richard couldn't resist and closed his eyes in resignation. Just then, a wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking the fatal blow for him.

Richard only felt that he was being grabbed by a huge force and taken out of the dueling arena. When she opened her eyes, it was Gore! She grabbed Richard by the collar and brought him to Reilly.

In the dueling arena, a big man had just broken through the earthen wall and was about to continue the pursuit of Richard, when he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. He lowered his head in shock, and found that a cake had been embedded in his waist at some point!

Seeing the big man's face, Richard knew that he was the younger brother of Duke Mensa, the nineteenth-level powerhouse Kane Mensa, and the attacker just now was this person.

"Thank you, Reilly. Richard knew that it was Reilly who had just saved him.

"Nothing. Reilly raised his head and looked at the royal box: "Even if it weren't for me, His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't let you die here." ”

At this time, Philip was wiping the cake crumbs from his hands. He snorted and said unhappily, "Wasted my dessert!"

After a while, His Majesty the Emperor stood up from his seat and said, "It's over, there's nothing to see." Then he walked out of the box. Before going out, he said to his courtiers: "Stay and watch them fulfill all their bets! ”

The courtier changed to a grim expression in an instant, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

By this time, Richard had already arrived in front of the Duke of Mensa.

Duke Mensa's eyes widened, and he pointed at Richard and said, "Richard......! Hello, you're good!"

Richard wiped the blood from his hands and said lightly, "I've always been fine." But unfortunately, your son is not very good. ”

Duke Schumpeter also had a grim expression, he squinted his eyes and said to Richard: "Richard, you are indeed amazing! You dare to be an enemy of Mensah and Schumpeter! I have seen many wonderful young people, but they have all turned into a pile of bones. I'll give you a word of advice, when you leave Faust, look carefully behind you!"

Richard laughed loudly, pointed at Duke Schumpeter and said, "Just Schumpeter, you dare to threaten me?"

Duke Schumpeter's face instantly became wonderful, and the onlookers of the nobles also showed gloating expressions. If it weren't for the Mensa family's protection, the Schumpeter family, who were crippled by Gordon, would have been driven out of the floating island.

Seeing that Richard was about to say something, Reilly quietly stabbed him and said, "Don't make any extraneous branches, we're not strong enough now!"

Richard's heart sank, he restrained his emotions and said, "Let's go." ”

"Wait a minute. At this time, a feminine voice came: "The bet of this duel has not been fulfilled. ”

Duke Mensa looked up angrily, only to see a face that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling. So, his anger disappeared in an instant. In Faust, the aristocracy with a modicum of knowledge recognized Philip the Great's courtiers. This guy who seems to be just a slick and a horse has been serving Philip for more than 20 years, and has experienced countless political storms, but he has always stood tall.

"Your Majesty means that the rules laid down by Charles the Great himself are not to be challenged. ”

Hearing the courtier's words, Duke Mensa's face changed for a while, and he said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! The Mensa family has a thousand-year history and glory, and will never do anything to break its promise." Luoqi!"

Luoqi stepped forward and stood beside Duke Mensa. There was no sadness, no joy on her face, no expression.

Duke Mensa gave Richard a deep look and said, "From today on, Luoqi is your person." ”

Richard smiled and said, "I'll take good care of Miss Luoqi." ”

The courtier said reluctantly, "If I'm not mistaken, the children of Young Master Richard and Miss Luoqi will also have the inheritance of the Mensa family, right?"

It took a great deal of effort for the Duke of Mensa to suppress the urge to draw his sword, and then squeezed a "yes" from between his teeth.

According to the Mensa family's thinking, little Mensa has no possibility of losing at all. Their only fear was that Richard would not participate in the duel and sit back and watch Winnington's death.

Winnington was a good young man, but that's about it. He may have good achievements in the future, but he will not be able to reverse the fortunes of the entire family like Richard. In the eyes of the Duke of Mensa, even if the decision was made by the elders of the Akmund family, Winnington had a good chance of being abandoned. So, they didn't think much about it and agreed to Richard's conditions.

The thought that Akmund might have one more legitimate reason to intervene in Mensa in the future made the Duke of Mensa bitter with hatred. So he turned and left, ignoring the grim-faced Duke Schumpeter, and not even looking at the corpse of little Mensa.

Subsequently, Richard also returned to the castle of the Akmund family with his booty.

Once in the study, Richard asked the waiter to bring a bottle of fine red wine, and then kicked everyone else out. As a result, only Richard, Reilly, and Lucky were left in the room.

"This time it's really ...... It's a big loss!" Richard said with a wry smile.

Not only did he expose his strength, but he also let others see the dilemma that Akmund was not strong. Reilly spread his hands and said, "Next time, the other party will be able to arrange a trap in a targeted manner, or directly attack you." ”

"The only gain is to preserve the dignity of Akmund. ”

"It doesn't make much use to you right now. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "In my opinion, the most sensible thing to do is to give up Winnington and avenge him later." ”

"Akmund didn't always rely on reason. Richard replied.

"Just one Akmund stumbled on your feet?" Reilly frowned and said, "Richard, I'm very disappointed in you!"

"It's my responsibility!" Richard frowned.

"Then you shouldn't fight for your life. Reilly said solemnly, "For Akmund, your greatest value is to become a Holy Constructor. ”

"What about you, what do you want from me?" asked Richard unabashedly.

"I thought you were a companion who could move forward with me......" Reilly glanced at him and said, "but as things stand, you're going to be out of my rhythm anytime soon." ”

“...... Maybe. ”

"Let's change the subject. Reilly pointed at Luoqi and said, "How are you going to arrange her?"

"Like you said, let her give me a child of Mensa blood. Richard smiled and said, "In the future, I will take this child to take away Mensa's title and domain." ”

"Did you understand my strategy so quickly?"

"How long do you think we've been working together?"

Hearing the conversation between Richard and Reilly, a flash of realization flashed in Luoqi's eyes, and then turned into a piercing chill that swept through her entire body and mind.

(They...... What should they do if they started to calculate the Mensa family at that time...... ）

Luoqi knew that she had become a pawn of those two men, and the slightest mistake would break her bones.

"Well, it's time to ask Miss Luoqi's opinion. At this time, Reilly's voice pulled Luoqi back to reality: "After all, if the parties are willing to cooperate, the plan will go more smoothly." ”

"That's right. Richard nodded and said, "Beautiful Miss Luoqi, would you like to stay and raise a child with Mensa blood for me? If you don't want to be an enemy of your own family, I can also let you go back." ”

"Hey~Hey~Hey~Hey~Hey!" Reilly slapped the table and said, "Have you ever thought about what will happen to her if she goes back now?"

"What's going on?" Richard was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't touched her yet." ”

Reilly sighed and said, "Miss Luoqi, tell him." ”

Luo Qi smiled bitterly and said, "This gamble has brought great humiliation to Duke Schumpeter. As is the normal practice, he should break off the marriage, and I will be sent back to Mensa as a symbol of family disgrace, and henceforth become the plaything of someone or others. But Duke Schumpeter wouldn't do that! he had no way out anyway, and was doomed to be annexed by Mensa. So he will definitely keep the marriage contract going, and may even make a request to get married immediately, so as to get my body. By that time, all I had of my memories in the Schumpeter family was all about all kinds of abuse and abuse. So, I only have two endings when I go back now, becoming the plaything of the Mensahs, or being the plaything of the Schumpeters. ”

Reilly smiled and said, "So, are you going to stay?"

Luoqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to stay, but I don't want to be a tool for procreation." I'm smart, I know a little magic, and I've awakened my bloodline abilities. I hope to get a place through these things, not through the face and body. ”

Richard laughed: "You are very ambitious, but this idea is very unrealistic. ”

Reilly also said: "You were born Mensah, and that can't be changed. ”

Luoqi said lightly: "What Mensa gave me was to force me to marry an elderly pervert and sadist, and the whole meaning of me to Mensa is my face and future fertility." If I cherish this surname, should I be happy to marry Duke Schumpeter, and then drag on for a few years in his torment and then die?

Richard and Reilly were speechless. They have to admit that Luoqi is very convincing.

"Let's stay on the floating island. Richard thought for a moment and said, "We're going to the Faro plane tomorrow, and I'll think about how to arrange for you when I come back next time." ”

"You can take me with you to Faro. Luoqi said.

"That's a good idea. Reilly agreed.

"What's the use of taking her?" Richard frowned.

"She can help you convince a lot of people. Reilly smiled and said, "Just like that." ”

Richard was speechless.
