Chapter 32: Preparations for the Duel
Chapter 32: Preparations for the Duel
After Liu Zhe returned from the academy, he immediately returned to his room, sat cross-legged on his bed, and was ready to sink his mind into opening the exchange system.
Knock Knock!
"Liu, Brother Liu, you are not ......!" However, just as Liu Zhe was about to open the exchange system, there was a panicked knock on his door, followed by Heidi's panicked voice.
Faced with this change, Liu Zhe sat up, and immediately opened the door, and saw Heidi, who was in a panic.
When Liu Zhe saw this, he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Heidi, so flustered?" Heidi seemed to ignore the shyness, and hurriedly asked, "Liu, Brother Liu! Heidi heard that Brother Liu is going to have a life-and-death duel with others... Be... Ahh Is it true?" Heidi's little face was full of anxiety, and she spoke so quickly that she bit her tongue at one point, making Heidi's eyes watery with pain.
"Huh...... Did you know the truth? The speed at which the news spread was a little too fast. Ryu Zhe's eyes flashed with surprise.
This was what had just happened, and not long after she stepped into the dormitory, Heidi immediately knew the news and rushed back, and the news spread too quickly.
"Liu, Brother Liu!Yes, the other party is a seventh-level magician!" Heidi's small hands kept shaking in front of her chest, looking even more anxious than Liu Zhe's party.
"I've heard a lot about this from the students on the side of the road, don't worry, Brother Liu has his own strategy, so don't worry too much about Heidi, I'll be fine. Liu Zhe's eyes showed a hint of softness, and he tried to use a relaxed tone to keep Heidi from worrying, but whether he could actually deal with Wigginson or not, Liu Zhe didn't know the bottom in his heart now.
"Really, Brother Liu didn't lie to Heidi?" Seeing Liu Zhe's confident expression, Heidi couldn't help but believe it a little, and I have to say that her heart is simple and innocent.
"Well, of course, so Heidi ...... You can let go of your hand a little, right?" Ryuzhe glanced at the crumpled sleeves of his coat that Heidi was clutching, and smiled wryly.
As soon as Liu Zhe spoke, Heidi finally discovered her urgent movements, and suddenly hurriedly let go of Liu Zhe's sleeves, kept lowering her little head, and bowed to Liu Zhe and apologized: "Ah... Yes!...... Yes, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ......sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" "Okay, okay, there's no need for this, if you want to apologize, Heidi only needs to continue to help Brother Liu fill the magic beads, so that she can help." Liu Zhe didn't notice it at this time, and unconsciously, he actually called himself Brother Liu.
"Yes, yes! Heidi will try!" Heidi raised her little fists excitedly, she had something she could do.
At that moment, there was a knock on 1378's door.
Bang bang bang bang
"Liu, Brother Liu......!" Judging from the sound of knocking on the door, the person who came seemed to be in a hurry, but Heidi, who was in the room at this time, was even more anxious, and now she was not disguised.
"Heidi, you go back to the room and lock the door first, and Brother Liu will go out and take a look. As he spoke, he pushed Heidi back into his room and told her to lock the door.
After doing everything, Liu Zhecai walked in the direction of the door, and at the same time said in his mouth, "It's coming, who is it?"
Ryu Zhe responded to the people outside the door and unlocked the door at the same time.
As soon as he opened the door, Rex's complaining expression was imprinted in Liu Zhe's eyes.
Rex glanced at his lips and complained, "Damn, brother, it's me, Rex, how can you keep the door open for so long......?" What are you doing knocking on the door all the time, can't you shout?" Liu Zhe saw that it was Rex, and his expression relaxed.
Seeing Liu Zhe's reassuring expression, Rex seemed to think of something, and said obscenely, "Hey brother, am I bothering you?" Rex smiled strangely, and his right index finger kept shuttling through the hole in his left hand, comparing a posture of playing.
"you, that's weird!" Liu Zhe frowned, and slapped the movement of Rex's hand without saying a word, his shoulders shrugged weakly, and he didn't know where to start complaining.
"Wow...... It's so angry!" Rex patted his chest, a look of horror on his face.
"Isn't that your problem?" Ryuzhe didn't even bother to complain, and directly gave Rex a roll of his eyes.
"Is that so? whatever, don't talk about that. Rex smiled awkwardly, and at the same time went straight to the point, "Brother, I just heard that you are going to duel with that Wigginson guy, and it is a duel to the death?"
"Well, that's it. Yoo-cheol shrugged and replied blandly.
This time it was Rex's turn to roll his eyes, and Rex said excitedly, squirting droplets from his mouth.
"Hey, hey, what's this, that's it, man, listen, Wilkinson is a seventh-level magician! And you're five, five, five!...... Please, you're hitting a duck egg with an egg, how are you going to hit it!" Hearing Rex's analogy, Liu Zhe couldn't help but be speechless in his heart, what is called hitting a duck egg with an egg, don't most people say that an egg hits a stone? Besides, how much harder is a duck egg than an egg?
Wiping the saliva splashed on his face with his sleeve, Ryuzhe said with a disgusted expression, "Pause! Pause! Rex, can you talk in the future, don't face me?" "Hahaha! Sorry, I didn't mean to. Rex snorted and apologized to Ryuzhe, and then he paused and said, "Wait...... Suddenly, Liu Zhe's face sank, and he asked seriously, "I know what you want to say...... To be honest, Rex, do you think that with my current strength, if I have a duel with Wilkinson, what is the chance of winning?" Seeing that Liu Zhe became serious, Rex faded the playfulness on his face, and asked with a rare serious face, "Brother, are you serious?" Liu Zhe shrugged, but said a little calmly, "Well, I have already made an appointment with others to duel tomorrow, so I can't escape now, right......?"
Immediately, Rex opened his eyes and said, "Brother, it's not me who poured cold water on you, with your current strength to duel with that Wigginson guy, I'm afraid the winning rate is not even tenth, unless it ......" Rex said solemnly, and at the end of his words, he lengthened the end of his words meaningfully.
"Unless what?" Liu Zhe asked, and at the same time secretly slandered in his heart, he was still selling off at this time.
"Unless I'm going to beat that guy to pieces now, tomorrow's duel is guaranteed to be fine, and you can win with a finger!" Rex smiled brightly, but said something extremely dangerous.
Although Rex said this with a smile, there was no hint of joke in his tone, if Liu Zhe needed it, he would definitely rush directly to Wigginson's location now, and beat him to cripple without saying a word.
How could Liu Zhe not hear the seriousness in Rex's tone, and while he was moved in his heart, he shook his head and said, "I understand my brother's kindness, but I will solve this matter myself, Wigginson is also a viscount, if you do it casually, it is easy to get into trouble." Liu Zhe shook his head and vetoed Rex's opinion, he knew that Rex was also from a commoner, even if Rex himself didn't care, but he still had a family, in the eyes of those nobles, the lives of civilians were not worth a dime at all, even if Rex was not afraid of him, but who knew if those people would make a move on Rex's family?
"What kind of words between brothers, as long as you say a word, I will definitely fight to the end!" Rex slapped Ryuzhe's shoulder, the expression on his face a little displeased.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to this once, and if you want to help me, come and help get these Orbs. Ryuzhe changed the subject, and immediately took out a magic bead from the spatial ring and placed it in front of Rex's eyes.
Seeing that Liu Zhe had a space ring, Rex was shocked, but his expression did not show surprise, although the space ring was a little expensive, it was not a rare thing.
"Fourth-level Demon Orb, brother, what do you want this thing to do?" At this glance, Rex recognized what Liu Zhe had in his hand at a glance.
Rex immediately picked up the fourth-level demon storage plant and looked at it, only to see a flash of light, and in the next moment, the fourth-level magic storage bead was immediately full of magic power!
Oh my God, in just a few moments, Rex was actually filled with a fourth-level magic pearl! If this were Liu Zhe, he wouldn't be able to do it in a few minutes.
"This is too fast......" Liu Zhe was secretly shocked in his heart, his fifth-level magician strength, it would take a few minutes to fill a fourth-level magic bead, let alone a few minutes, but this guy Rex actually got it done in an instant?
"Oh, it's charged, and I'll give it back to you." Rex said, tossing back the orb in his hand, which was already full of magical power.
Liu Zhe hurriedly caught the magic bead, and said angrily on his face, "Be careful! This is all money!" "Brother, you're not so poor, are you......?" Do you want me to fund you?" Rex looked disdainful, there are still people who regard the Magic Orb as a treasure these days.
"No need!" Liu Zhe immediately refused, not to mention that he was not short of money in the first place, just seeing Rex's cheap face, he would not accept Rex's money.
While speaking, Liu Zhe had already begun to try to exchange the magic bead in his hand.
Soon, a system message appeared.
"This item has been determined by the system and cannot be exchanged!" Hearing the message from the system, Liu Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then scolded in his heart: "What can't I redeem!......?" Heidi's filled Magic Orb can obviously be exchanged, but what Rex filled for Lu can't be exchanged?" Liu Zhe was silent, thinking about the reason in between.
Seeing that Liu Zhe suddenly stopped talking, Rex shook his hands in front of Liu Zhe's eyes, and asked, "Brother, you have nothing to do, do you want me to find you a doctor?" Ignoring Rex's accosting, Liu Zhe had a flash of inspiration at this time, and thought of a very likely reason.
"Is it money? Heidi has a payout for filling the Orb, but Rex doesn't!" The more Ryuzhe thought about it, the more likely it became, and then he said to Rex, "Rex, you can take this silver coin, even if it is the reward for filling the Orb for me." After Liu Zhe finished speaking, he stuffed the 10 silver coins in his hand into Rex's hand without saying a word.
When Ryuzhe gave Rex 10 silver coins, he exchanged them for the Orb in his hand again.
"This item has been determined by the system and cannot be exchanged!" Seeing the information in his mind, Liu Zhe was stunned, and his heart was extremely puzzled, and he secretly said, "Still can't do it? What's going on? Isn't it because of the money?" Liu Zhe's heart was full of doubts, and he didn't understand what the system was based on, and under the same conditions, what Heidi could do, but Rex couldn't?
At this time, Rex reacted, and hurriedly handed back the 10 silver coins to Liu Zhe, and said, "You take this money back, I don't need it!" Rex said, but Liu Zhe seemed to be in a trance, completely ignoring himself.
"Did you hear my brother, I said I can't take this money!" Seeing Liu Zhe in a daze, Rex was helpless, holding the silver coin and shaking it in front of Liu Zhe's eyes.
Rex's actions brought Ryuzhe back to reality from his thoughts, and at this time, Ryuzhe complied with Rex's wishes and simply said, "Okay, then I'll be fine." Liu Zhe's hands and feet moved neatly, and before Rex could react, he had already taken back the silver coin in Rex's hand.
Since it's not a matter of money, then these 10 silver coins can't be charged, and it's too cheap for Rex to give it for nothing.
"......" Rex was speechless, looking at Liu Zhe's swift action of recovering the money, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, could it be that you are playing me?
Liu Zhe saw Rex's bitter face, his expression as if he had eaten a fly, and he couldn't help laughing, "What to do, you yourself said you don't want to." Liu Zhe didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Rex immediately jumped up excitedly, grabbed Liu Zhe's neck and kept shouting, "You are playing me! brother, you are deliberately playing tricks on me, right!?" ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ time later, Liu Zhe and Rex were fighting at the door of the dormitory, completely forgetting the purpose of the beginning.
Eventually, Rex took the 10 silver coins with a smile on his face, and he left the dormitory in high spirits.
"Huh, right...... What am I here for?" Rex thought to himself on the way back.
