Chapter 663: Conferral
"Impeccable!"
The gem of Paul's two-handed greatsword shone with crystal light, and the sword body was thrust into the ground, and the surrounding body was suddenly wrapped in light flames, which instantly turned into countless interlaced translucent light shields, this move was taught by his teacher Passari himself, which is equivalent to an absolute defensive compression field power, and the effect is far above ordinary protective magic.
Paul himself could not have imagined that this duel would be completely suppressed by the defeat of his former men, and that he would be forced to perform this trick so quickly.
Samuel's continuous attacks could not break through the "invulnerable" realm, and with a flick of his body, he widened the distance between him and Paul, and a huge mark of light appeared under his feet, with a strong aura of destruction in the mark, and the long knife pointed at Paul.
"Dawn extinction?" Paul sneered secretly, Samuel also used this trick in the last duel, and he easily cracked it, and he knew very well the characteristics of this move, this move also contained the power of the realm, the attack range was very large, and the disadvantage was that the consumption liliang was very large, and the attack surface was relatively scattered, which was just restrained by the "impeccable" defensive characteristics.
Now although Samuel has shown the strength to overpower him, as long as he prevents this big move, and then launches a counterattack while Samuel is physically exhausted, he can reverse the decline in one fell swoop, or even turn the tables.
In the heat of battle, the fighter is only fleeting, and the time to judge or think is extremely short, and often only one choice can be made, which is more of an instinctive reaction. Samuel's knife had already burst out with incomparably sharp energy, and Paul made a decision in an instant, and did not avoid it, urging the power of the realm with all his might, and taking it hard with "invulnerable".
The light in the field was bright, and the nearby protective barrier shook violently. The special high-strength defensive stone slabs could not withstand the tremendous pressure and shattered one after another.
Paul felt the powerful impact of "Invulnerable", and those transparent light shields began to become thinner, and even slightly twisted, but he was not surprised in his heart: the characteristics of "Invulnerable" were somewhat similar to springs, and the thinner the shield, the stronger the defense-the power of "Morning Light Extinction" was really terrifying, but in terms of the strength of "Invulnerable". Definitely can support to zuihou.
At this moment, Paul suddenly felt a difference in the flow of the power of the realm, and "snorted". There was a pain in his shoulder, and something sharp had pierced through the armor and penetrated straight into it. It hurts to the heart. Immediately afterwards, sharp objects continued to break through the shield at high speed, and Paul was like a continuous bullet, and his whole body shook violently, and holes appeared on the "impeccable" shield surface that were penetrated one by one, although they gradually healed automatically, they were never able to resist the sharp impact.
After the flash of light, Paul had become a bloody man, and the transparent shield collapsed and staggered backwards. As soon as he stood on his feet, before he could make the next reaction, he breathed suddenly, and he was already pressed against the throat by a sharp blade.
A broken blade.
At this moment, Paul finally came to his senses. It turned out that "Dawn Extinction" was completely different from before, the scattered attacks were condensed together, and the power was doubled, and what was even more unguardable was that Samuel deliberately shattered the long knife, mixed with the "Dawn Extinction" hit and shot out. The shattering blade that contains the power of the realm is extremely sharp. The lethality is so amazing that even "invulnerable" cannot resist it. That knife must have done the corresponding tricks and feet, no wonder it has rarely fought with the Huaguang Giant Sword before, all of this is prepared!
Paul's second reaction was shock, he had lost to Samuel in front of Joanna, in front of Rex the Great and a group of high-ranking nobles, in front of all the audience!
The two of them moved extremely fast, and many of the spectators couldn't see it clearly, but when this scene was frozen, the stands were silent: the result of the duel was shocking, and Paul was defeated on the first day of the duel, which was seen by most people before the duel...,
Samuel gave Paul a faint look, didn't say anything like the declaration of victory, just slowly withdrew the broken blade and turned away.
Ignorance, this is the ignorance of Chi Guoguo. Paul felt a strong sense of shame in his heart, and he almost felt the urge to sneak in behind and cut Samuel in two with a sword, but the thought was fleeting, this was not a wilderness, but a royal arena. Just that arbiter, Rex the Great, is one of the strongest saint levels in the human race, if he really dares to act rashly, Samuel doesn't know if he dies or not, he and the Norman family are definitely dead.
"In this duel, Samuel wins. Rex the Great's voice rang out, still calm.
Samuel bowed deeply to Emperor Rex, and then a smiling man sitting at the bottom right of Emperor Rex stood up and spoke, "My father once said that hard work is more important than talent in order to achieve true success, and I can imagine how much hard work and effort our Silver Knight put in to achieve today's remarkable victory." Lord Samuel, I am very interested in the heroic deeds of Stormwind Island this time, and I wonder if you will be able to satisfy my curiosity, and perhaps you can bring out a little loot to open my eyes?"
The man spoke beautifully, in fact, questioning the events on the Isle of Storm, and in this situation where Samuel had just won, it was clearly ill-intentioned.
Chen Rui knew that this man was his "second brother" Garfield, and the Jinyao territory of "Arthur" was currently ruled by Garfield's "agent". Garfield has a vendetta with Samuel's father Caro, and has been framed and suppressed many times, and the current predicament of the Camprot family is inseparable from the "efforts" of the second prince.
In the face of Garfield's attack, Samuel appeared very calm and bowed: "Your Highness Garfield, it's a pity that I went to Stormwind Island just to save my lover who was framed by poison, and I am not a hero. And, if it weren't for the fluke, Joanna and I would have died at the hands of the Titans. ”
The Titan Titan began to talk about it again, it is said that the Titan can compete with the dragon, and I didn't expect Samuel to encounter such a terrifying giant creature!
As he spoke, Samuel took out a piece of silver metal the size of his palm: "This is just a piece of silver metal that I found when I was fleeing for my life, and it is not considered a trophy, I wanted to stay with me." Always be vigilant, give yourself a higher goal, and don't know if you can satisfy His Royal Highness. ”
The young man next to Emperor Rex looked at the piece of metal from afar, and his silver eyes shone with a hint of essence: "The armor of the silver scale armor is indeed the craftsmanship of the Titan, this little guy is very good." ”
The young man's voice was not loud, but Garfield, who was on the sidelines, heard it. I didn't dare to question it anymore and sat down.
Emperor Rex bowed slightly: "Samuel, I recognize your courage and strength. You are now crowned Golden Knight of the Empire, and the official canonization ceremony will take place three days later. ”
Rex the Great paused and glanced at the young man on the side. He added: "I will give you the qualifications to participate in the Dragon Valley Conference in the second half of the year, if you can get the approval of the Dragon Clan, you will officially become a member of the Dragon Cavalry Legion." ”
Samuel was overjoyed and quickly knelt down on one knee to thank him. The title of Rex the Great caused a sensation in the entire Royal Arena, and it was not too surprising that Samuel became a Golden Knight, after his strength reached the corresponding level, he was qualified to become a Golden Knight, and Paul was the alternate Golden Knight, but he just skipped the alternate level. With Samuel's performance in beating Paul today, this kind of skipping is not to blame.
The most critical thing is the qualification for the Ryukoku Conference in the back. This kind of tournament is actually the strongest and highest-ranking dragon knight tryout in the empire, held every fifty years, with only ten spots at a time, and the competition is extremely fierce, even the Golden Knight is difficult to qualify. Unexpectedly. Today, Rex the Great actually gave one of the places directly to Samuel...,
Many high-ranking nobles began to speculate whether this was a sign of the re-emergence of the Camprot family? The patriarch of the Camprot family, Carlo, showed an excited expression and bowed deeply to Rex the Great. After Joanna's father, Frett, publicly announced that Joanna's marriage to Paul was null and void, he was hesitant to accept Samuel, who had been rejected by himself, but immediately made up his mind after hearing this reward. Garfield, the second prince, still had a smile on his face. There was no hint of a smile in the stiff smile.
Paul, who was standing in the field, was more like an outsider at this time, and the glory and reward Samuel received was equivalent to another slap in his face, he was a talented swordsman on the first day of the empire, a disciple of Paladin Pasari, high-spirited, unstoppable, and had always been shrouded in the aura of genius and victor, how could he have suffered such a painful defeat?
It wasn't until Chen Rui walked into the field and hugged him that Paul regained consciousness, feeling as if his body had lost his liliang, and he could only stagger down by relying on support.
The news of Samuel's defeat of Paul the first day and his canonization as the Golden Knight spread throughout Jerodisha in an instant, and it seemed to be a chain reaction, and the outcome of the duel set off a chain of events. The resignation of Leon, the old director of the Imperial Department of Academic Affairs, was approved by Rex the Great, and he was succeeded by the former director of the Finance Department, Gluthia, the deputy director of the Ministry of Education, Salvatore Norman, who was transferred to the Military Council, and the patriarch of the Kamplotte family, Caro, was promoted to the head of the Finance Department......
Many discerning people can see that this series of personnel changes is more like a long-planned reshuffle, and the so-called duel is just the fuse. In recent years, the expansion of church-related families has intensified, which has long aroused the vigilance of Rex the Great, no matter what, the supreme ruler of an empire is the emperor after all.
Salvador, the patriarch of the Loman family, was originally the most popular candidate for the secretary of the Department of Academic Affairs, and even Rex the Great verbally revealed the relevant meaning, but now he was transferred to the Military Affairs Yuan. The positions of the two institutes are higher than those of the three divisions, and this kind of transfer is ostensibly a promotion, but in fact El Salvador is only a fictitious title in the Military Affairs Academy, and it is not at all comparable to the director of the secretary of education who holds real power, and the network of contacts and interests that have been working hard in the department for many years will gradually disintegrate.
This incident has caused the Norman family to be hit harder than it seems, and the family's business has been affected in various fields. The original mansion is now deserted, no one has come to the door, even the Lincoln family follower Diego is nowhere to be seen, it can be said that people are gone, only Chen Rui, a "faithful" follower, still stays without abandonment, and continues to encourage the frustrated Paul.
Looking at the sincere eyes of his followers, Paul was moved, and finally made up his mind to regain his strength and go to the White Bluff to participate in the selection of the Templars - poor Paul, he could not see the hidden horns and tails behind Richard's "sincerity", otherwise he would be moved to the point of bleeding. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
