Chapter 169: Provocation and Confrontment (2)
"Challenge?hahahaha!" Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the other party's words, and after a while, Ryan stopped laughing and slowly said to the knight Angelo, "You are not qualified enough."
"I'm going to challenge you!" the knight Angelo was already annoyed, and he shouted incoherently, "This is a matter of a knight's dignity, unless you are prepared to be an enemy of the entire Royal Knights, you cannot refuse!"
"Joke, what qualifications do you have to challenge my master, and what qualifications do you have to represent the entire Royal Knights?" Vivien said contemptuously on her horse, "If we can use the tactics of crowds, then can we also find 100,000 warriors every day to challenge the Orlando commander in turn?"
"You, you!" the knight Angelo saw that Vivien had brought the topic to his most beloved commander again, and his anger was even heavier, and he drew his long sword and pointed it at Vivian and said, "Well, since your master is timid, then it's up to you!"
"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to challenge me?" Vivien asked disdainfully, "When did the knights of the imperial capital become so rude, and dare to provoke a noble lord at will?"
The knight Angelo did not hear the hint in Vivien's words, in fact, neither Ryan nor Vivien wanted to make the Royal Knights a target for their own prestige, the former had an extraordinary relationship with the head of Orlando, and the latter did not want to easily provoke this supposedly invincible legion.
It's a pity that the knight Angelo didn't understand Vivian's hint, because according to the laws of the empire, nobles have many privileges, and the noble lord with his own back cover is not trivial, if it weren't for Fernando-Bird's strict order, each lord is not allowed to have cavalry, otherwise with Vivian's identity, he can definitely have his own knights, and then form a force similar to the Royal Knights.
Angelo was just an ordinary holy knight, how could he challenge a lord like Vivien, who was on the verge of the imperial capital's rule? Wouldn't that show the imperial capital's malice towards the Emilio family?
Originally, in Vivian's plan, the other party heard his hints, and then softened a little, and Vivian said a few good words here, everyone was okay with face, and they could step down, and this matter was settled. Unexpectedly, Vivien overlooked one thing, that is, young holy knights are often enthusiastic warriors, and Angelo didn't think about what Vivien meant at all, but strode up.
"Follow the idea of the god of war, I, the holy knight Angelo, challenge you to never die!" Angelo cut a hole in the blade of his long sword with his index finger, letting the blood flow on the blade, this ritual is the knight's most solemn blood oath, if Vivien does not accept Angelo's challenge again, then Angelo can even use the method of breaking away from the Royal Knights and hunting down Vivien as a fallen knight.
Seeing that things were getting bigger and bigger, Ryan didn't expect that the other party would be impulsive enough to use such a means. The Holy Knights have quite strict precepts, such as humility, mercy, etc., but the Holy Knights themselves are human beings and cannot be absolutely free from the influence of human nature. This knight's blood oath first appeared in an old knight many years ago, who forgave his enemies, but his enemies killed his wife and daughter in a dastard manner.
The old knight was determined to avenge his family, but the holy knight's precepts forbade him to take revenge, so the old knight swore a blood oath, abandoned his lifelong faith, and embarked on a path of revenge as a fallen knight.
The guy in front of him called Angelo was just because of a little quarrel, and he actually launched a blood oath, and in Lane's heart, the excitement of returning to the imperial capital slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a little doubt, did the holy knights who were strict with themselves in the past become so impetuous in 3 years?
Vivien also knew a little bit about the knight's blood oath, and she looked sideways slightly at Ryan's face, only to find that Ryan was lost in thought and didn't give her any hint. Vivien gritted her teeth and said loudly to Angelo: "Yes, I accept your challenge, but now we still have something to do, so it is better to make another appointment." ”
"Hmph, do you want to sneak away?" said Angelo.
"Joke, why run when I'm sure I can win a fight?" Vivien laughed, she looked at Angelo condescendingly on her horse, and said to him, "We're from Cassano, and we're here for the athletics. You're going to have to let us sign up first, right?"
"You're also going to compete in Atlético Royal?" Angelo blurted out.
"Nonsense, if you don't participate in this, who came to the imperial capital so far?" Vivien replied, and then said, "Hey, don't get in our way, either take us to sign up, or get out of the way." We haven't had lunch yet. ”
The knight Angelo couldn't stand the ubiquitous contempt in Vivien's words, the other party only cared about things like registration and meals, and obviously didn't care about dueling with himself at all. But Angelo couldn't say anything more, his companion had already examined the corpses and confirmed that the dozens of people had died under the electric magic, which also confirmed the identity of the other party's magician.
For a magician who can easily kill dozens of people, even if he kills just ordinary people, his strength must not be ignored, and the punishment of the so-called magic guild is mostly an understatement of fines of money, and powerful magicians are not short of that thing at all.
Angelo had to glare at Vivien again, hoping to teach these guys a hard lesson when it was time for the decisive battle, and at this time, someone from the security department in charge of the imperial capital also came to the scene, and the person who took the lead immediately turned pale when he saw the family crest on Lane's carriage.
For this royal competition, the imperial capital spent a lot of effort, and they dispatched capable soldiers to form a security bureau to deal with the endless security incidents at that time, after all, most of the people who came to participate in the competition were energetic guys, and it was impossible not to cause trouble.
However, among them, there are many forces whose participants have been taken care of, and the imperial capital has arranged special countermeasures for the forces that have obviously maintained neutrality such as Mochizuki City and Freedom Paradise, after all, they can't affect the relationship between the two sides because of their own negligence, which will worsen the diplomatic situation in the imperial capital.
However, the biggest headache for the Sheriff's Office is a few forces that have not yet expressed their attitude, the most typical is the Cassano Plains, which has just risen. The centuries-old conquest of the three families was forcibly unified by a young magician within a few months, and that magician quickly integrated Cassano's power to become a significant force on the continent.
In order to try to win Cassano's overlord Fabia, so that they can finally fall to the imperial capital, the Sheriff's Office even spent a lot of money to promulgate the portraits of Cassano's important figures, which is not that the Sheriff's Department grovels to Cassano, but is worried that the guys with ulterior motives will deliberately create trouble in the middle, as long as their subordinates know the other party's head and face, they can avoid misunderstandings to the greatest extent.
Who knew that today the director of the Public Security Department got the information that someone killed people in the street and killed dozens of them in one go, which was an extremely bad incident, so he immediately dispatched a large number of people and let his most powerful assistant lead the team over, but when the assistant who led the team came to the scene and saw the Cassano emblem on Ryan's carriage, he immediately realized the complexity of the matter.
For a character like the Sheriff's Office, someone on Cassano's side naturally came forward to explain what had just happened, and the guy who led the team secretly complained about his boss while wiping a cold sweat, thinking that he could make a lot of merit on this trip, but he fell into a quagmire, if he didn't handle it well, it was estimated that his fate would be quite miserable.
According to the assistant's understanding, Cassano's personnel who came to participate in the competition had just entered the city, and someone stopped the car on the street to provoke, if this was not premeditated, it was really too much of a coincidence, especially when the other party directly targeted Vivian, for this woman, almost all outsiders thought that it was the confinement of Cassano's overlord Fabia, and it was impossible not to provoke the other party.
The people of the Sheriff's Office are still very capable, they quickly verified the identities of those dead, all of them are slaves of a certain Fernando royal family, these guys are usually arrogant and domineering in the city, to be honest, they are all dead, and the people in the imperial capital only clap their hands and celebrate, and no one will feel sorry for them. But now that the matter has involved the Holy Knight, the assistant who led the team doesn't know what to do, because people like Holy Knights, mages, priests, royals, etc., their sheriff's office is not qualified to take charge, and the only thing he can do now is to push the responsibility out.
So the whole incident was quickly resolved, the dead body was quickly cleaned up, and Ryan and his party were also released, Angelo and his companions also found that something was wrong after learning Ryan's identity, but the blood oath had been made, Angelo could not break his promise, and could only hurry up to the barracks to report to his superiors.
And the guy with a disabled wrist was selectively ignored, since he dared to jump out to preside over justice, he must have the strength to preside over justice, otherwise he can only become the laughing stock of others, as for the disability of the wrist, Vivian still generously compensated him with 100 gold coins, if he is willing to go home and live honestly, he will be stable in the next life, otherwise with his strength, he will come out as a mercenary, I am afraid that sooner or later he will die.
