Chapter 263: Before the Duel (Part I)
Elemental spirits are definitely something that money can't measure at all, but it's of little use to Leon, who might be able to get back the follower mage Akram who gave it to him, but Corinna is clearly interested in it.
So he made a decision without hesitation.
"Viscount Leon, I'm afraid you still don't understand the preciousness of the elemental spirit..."Xi Ling next to her looked at Leon with a strange look in her eyes: "With it, you can exchange it for unimaginably huge wealth!"
In fact, the Swan Priestess is also quite interested in this legendary elemental artifact, although she is a priest, she is not a pure priest of divine magic.
It's just that the girl has her own reserve, and no matter how heartfelt she is, it is impossible to ask Leon.
Leon smiled: "For me, there is nothing more precious than Corinna's smile, as long as she likes it, even if it is a star in the sky, I will pick it!"
Corinna and Xiling's expressions changed at the same time!
If this sentence came out of the mouth of a playboy, it would only make the two of them feel disgusted and numb, but when it came out of Leon's mouth, it carried an indescribable heroic momentum and deep affection.
Corinna's eyes rippled with tenderness, sweetness and fieryness, almost melting the iron man!
But a trace of strange feelings quietly appeared in Xiling's heart.
The atmosphere in the tent became a little delicate.
After a long time, Corinna said, "But I don't know how to make it my pet, and no book in my memory mentions it. ”
That's a problem... Leon looked at the little guy flying in front of his eyes, and scratched his head a little.
But he immediately had an idea in his heart: "Then you communicate with it first and see if it can be used for you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Leon waved his hand and blessed Corinna with an aura of wisdom.
After three days of forest hunting and one night of bloody fighting, his belief divine power accumulated to the peak inadvertently, and it was easy to release an aura of wisdom.
Xi Ling's eyes widened, as a priest of great strength, she keenly felt the powerful divine power contained in this aura.
She knew the identity of Leon's Divine Blessing Warrior, so she was not surprised that Leon was able to release the divine aura, but this divine aura that she couldn't see at all made her divine soul tremble slightly.
Corinna closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a terrifying glint in her eyes.
She stretched out her slender hand to the elemental spirit hovering in the air, her white jade fingertips emitting a faint halo.
The little guy first stepped back half a foot, looking very hesitant, and after a moment he probably realized that Corinna had no ill intentions, and he also stretched out his hand to touch Corinna's hand with innocence and curiosity.
The moment Corinna's fingertips touched her gaseous little hand, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and her expression became more serious than ever.
A series of low, obscure incantations murmured from Sakura's lips, and a strong aura of mysterious magic suddenly permeated the tent, and the elemental spirits approached Corinna little by little until they completely enveloped her slender hand.
A drop of crimson blood oozed silently from the tip of Corinna's right little finger, but it turned into a strand of blood thinner than a hair, and in the blink of an eye, it poured into the interior of the elemental spirit.
Rumble!
An incomparably powerful aura suddenly poured out of Corinna's body, and Leon and Xiling, who were sitting on both sides, were suddenly pushed out several feet away, and the curtains of the surrounding tents were all lifted!
Luckily, the brackets that supported the tent were extremely strong, so the tent didn't fall over.
However, the Templars guarding the perimeter were all alarmed, and they reacted immediately, quickly appearing around the tent with weapons in hand.
"Lord Xiling!"
"We don't have anything to do, it's just that the spell is out of control, you guys go down!" Xiling waved her hand and said lightly.
"Yes, sir!"
The knights gathered their weapons and bowed back, and servants and maids came in to clean up the mess in the tent.
After the maids finished packing up and retreating, Xiling looked at Corinna who was smiling and silent on the side with curious eyes: "Sister Corinna, have you signed a contract with the elemental spirit?"
Just now, when she was pushed away by the powerful aura emanating from Corinna's body, she clearly saw that the mass of elemental lifeforms suddenly shrink and disappear.
On Corinna's right little finger, there was an extra silver-white ring, which looked like a style that could be bought in a store for only one or two silver coins.
"Yes..."Corinna's pretty face still had a hint of excitement on her face, and she reached out and touched the ring on her hand, "I have signed a blood pact with the elemental spirit, obtained some of its power, and been promoted to a fifth-level mage." ”
Fifth level mage! Leon was taken aback.
He knew that Corinna was not an ordinary person, but since the two had been dating, Corinna had not said anything about her own strength, and Leon guessed that she might also be a shaman.
Samurai and legal professionals have different sources of strength, so without fighting, Leon can't see the strength of a mage or priest, Corinna doesn't want to say, he naturally won't go out of his way to ask.
But now Corinna told her that she had been promoted to a fifth-level mage, which really surprised him.
Although the shaman can also master the use of natural elements, it is also realized on the basis of divine magic and divine power, so the level and power of elemental spells are far inferior to real magicians.
And this difference is determined by the natural bloodline, and a pure beast cannot become a magician.
However, if it is a half-blood orc, there is a very low chance of having a magical talent.
"I have a quarter of demon blood..."Corinna apparently saw Leon's confusion and explained, "I have had a talent for casting spells since I was a child. ”
"Then this elemental spirit is really suitable for you!" Leon smiled, and it was a surprise that this little guy he picked up for nothing could be used by Corinna.
You must know that the fifth-level mage is a high-level mage, and the strength level corresponds to the scepter priest, and then there is the ** master who can be called the top powerhouse in the mainland, and the strength is beyond doubt.
And Corinna still has elemental spirits in her hands.
"Thank you!"
Corinna couldn't hold back the love in her heart, and took the initiative to send a fragrant kiss despite Xiling leaning into Leon's arms next to her.
What she was thankful for was not the treasure that Leon had given her, but Leon's unhesitating choice between a priceless treasure and hers.
Xiling looked at Corinna in her arms in a daze, and a trace of undetectable admiration flashed in her eyes.
She was actually very prejudiced against Leon, and she didn't think that Leon could be worthy of Corinna, but now she found out that she was wrong.
As a girl who is only seventeen years old, Xiling has also reached the age of the first love, but she spends most of her time practicing in the temple, and rarely focuses on the affairs of men and women.
But the fiery and sincere situation between Leon and Corinna in front of her was like a raging torrent that crashed open her heart and stirred deep ripples in her heart.
It turns out that love is so wonderful.
But in addition to envying Corinna, the girl was still a little unconvinced, no matter in any aspect, she naturally surpassed Corinna.
But in front of her, Leon's attention was completely focused on Corinna.
"Sister Corinna..."The swan girl bit her lip and said lightly, "Do you want me to go out first?"
Corinna smiled and kissed Leon the face before reluctantly leaving Leon's arms.
She was a fully ripe fruit, just waiting for Leon to pick it, and if it weren't for other factors involved and restricted, she would have dedicated herself to Leon a long time ago.
There is love in her heart, so she directly ignores Xiling's slight dissatisfaction.
The atmosphere in the tent finally returned to normal.
However, there was something strange about the atmosphere in the royal capital of Uglu, and on the calm surface, there was an undercurrent.
The duel between Leon and Sayat is, on the surface, nothing more than a fight between two young nobles for a woman, although the woman's identity is very unusual, but similar things abound in the aristocratic circle, which is really not special.
But something special is the force represented behind the two, Sayat is an elite son of the Great Rhine family, a young officer of the Royal Guards Legion, with a background in the Senate, and even involved with some underground forces.
And Leon has the most obvious temple mark on his body, and the red-robed Faense is well known for his support, and it is precisely because of this that Leon's military exploits in the war against the barbarians have been suppressed a lot.
One is a wealthy family, and the other is a temple nouveau riche, and there are many unknown factors in the collision between the two.
Many people are secretly speculating whether this is another collision between the kingdom forces and the temple forces.
From the moment Leon signed the duel book, the contest between the two sides attracted the attention of some forces, and there were no less than ten special bets set up for the two, and some bets even exceeded 10 million.
And in all the gambling games, you can see the shadows of different forces.
No one but the greatest prophet could predict the outcome of this duel, just as no one could see through the intricacies of the current royal capital.
But precisely because of the existence of the gambling game, this duel is becoming more and more compelling.
It's just that Leon doesn't know about these things.
The day after returning to the hunter's camp, he and Corinna returned to the royal capital, where they lived in a small cottage owned by Corinna, ready for tomorrow's duel.
As he says, never take any opponent lightly.
But that evening, after Corinna left on an affair at home, an unexpected visitor stepped into the lobby of the villa.
