Chapter Forty-Seven: Too Much Deception
Chapter Forty-Seven: Too Much Deception
Archduke Edgar Jefferson closed his eyes and lay in the passenger seat, unwilling to say a word, his hands were crossed on his abdomen, his brows were furrowed, he looked very distressed, and the blood vessels on the fingers of his hands burst out, obviously the Grand Duke's heart was not at peace.
As a father...... Unwilling......
The silver phantom was speeding in the night of the imperial capital, and the two people in the car couldn't say a word, so they returned to the Duke's Palace in silence, parking, exhausting, and turning off the engine, neither of them was in a hurry to get out of the car, just sat in the car that restored the darkness, and waited silently. Suddenly, from the darkness came the words that Lord Duke seemed to be whispering and saying to Qin Shouchuang.
“...... At the very least, if only you could defeat Victor Mu, then with the original agreement, you can forcibly dissolve it even if you are already engaged. ”
As soon as he heard that there was still a chance, Qin Shouzhuo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the original agreement?"
There was obviously a look of contempt in the darkness, and then Duke Ye explained in a tired voice: "Those are the rules that have been passed down from the Chaos Period, and they belong to the historical heritage, and only in some areas have a certain binding force on the families and forces that still have traditions. It just so happens that the Holy See has been inherited for nearly 1,000 years, and it also belongs to the ancient heritage, and that rule is still very binding on it. But...... Forget it, it's useless, don't take it to heart. ”
The original agreement prevailing on the mainland - the rule of the strong judgment. When a dispute arises, if the weaker party is not satisfied with the civil law judgment, it can challenge the stronger, and if it can win by chance, it will act according to the weaker party, and if the stronger party cannot challenge to protect the rights of the weak. This is one of the rules that motivates young people to practice hard, but if they challenge and accidentally lose their lives in a duel, they can only be regarded as deserving of death.
That was still the rule of the chaotic period before the establishment of the state-level forces, when the weak forces encountered unfair treatment, they would occasionally use this rule to fight to the death, and most of the stronger parties would also follow this rule, which was one of the few rules in the lawless chaos period, and belonged to a group of pioneers who sought order in the chaos, and if they were followed, even the losing side would win everyone's respect.
However, even in the Ancient Chaos period, there were no coercive sanctions for non-compliance, except that barbarians were treated as despised by all self-proclaimed civilized creatures on the continent.
The Holy See considers itself to be the inheritor and inheritor of the ancient civilization of mankind, and it still attaches great importance to tradition. If Qin Shouzhuo can defeat Victor within the framework of the original agreement, then even if Victor does not implement the original agreement, his marriage will not be recognized by the Central Holy See, and if he forcibly marries Raphael, he will still be subject to the Central Holy See's shuanggui. Victor was, after all, the most devout head of the Knights Templar, and there was a good chance that he would carry out the tradition.
It's a pity that Qin Shouzhuo is not Victor's opponent.
Qin Shouzhuo, who learned the result, was also very helpless, what he was good at was modern warfare, not cold weapons heads-up, and in the interstellar war environment, personal bravery was really of little use.
As for the combat methods of this world, after all, I have only officially started learning for only half a year, so it is strange that I can win, but ...... Qin Shouclum's inspiration flashed, Victor is a knight, that is, a profession in close combat, from the previous experience of beating Andy Orlando, it can be seen that this world is a world that focuses on cultivating qi and ignores skills, and if you are in close combat, you don't have no chance.
Duke Jefferson, who had been in the car for a long time, felt a little bored, so he simply opened the door and got out of the car, looked back at the sky that had completely darkened, and walked towards the annex. Seeing this, of course, Qin Shouzhuo hurried to follow, and thought about being the duke's son-in-law, how could he not take the initiative to serve. The gates of the Duke's Palace opened, and the old butler and a group of attendants stood on both sides of the road to greet the master of the house.
Qin Shouzhuo and the two were walking on the stairs in front of the mansion when they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, probably because Rafeier's carriage had arrived, and the two turned back at the same time, shocked.
I saw that the armor of the first few knights was torn and wounded, and the gate of the carriage behind them was gone, but there was no other damage.
Without waiting for the duke's order, the old butler took his attendants to greet him, helped the guard knight off his horse, checked the injuries, bandaged the wounds, Qin Shouzhuo personally inspected the carriage of the Duke's Palace, and inside, he saw the seriously injured maid Dongyue.
Dongyue is the maid specially assigned by the Duchess to the Duke, and she is an ordinary person who has not cultivated, and is responsible for taking care of the Duke's daily life during her time in the capital, but at this time, she has been vomiting blood, leaning on the seat that only the master can sit on.
There was no Rafeier in the team, Qin Shouzhuo suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he just greeted him, and he wanted to ask questions but was pushed aside by the Duke, seeing this situation, the Duke was even more anxious.
Dongyue, who was already angry, saw the face of the Duke, as if returning to the light, suddenly had more strength, grabbed Duke Jefferson's hand, and tried his best to open his mouth to speak, but he could only make a sound like "he~he~" and spit out a mouthful of blood foam. With the help of Qin Shouzhuo's hydrotherapy technique, the green tendons on Dong Yue's head burst out, and she burst out with her last strength and said her last words......
"Miss...... By...... By...... Victor...... Snatched ...... Go and save ......."
Before the words fell, Dongyue swallowed her breath, and she didn't even have time to explain the situation in detail, Duke Jefferson reached out and stroked the door of Dongyue's face, closed his unwilling eyes, and didn't say anything.
As soon as he made contact, the Duke took a cursory look at Dongyue's injuries and was really taken aback. Dongyue's internal organs were all crushed, obviously the injury of the light and fighting spirit, and it was a miracle that she was able to hold on until this time thanks to a spa ring rewarded by the Duchess who was overworked, and she could barely explain Raphael's whereabouts. As the winter moon died, the core on the hydrotherapy ring shattered into powder and disappeared with the wind.
The knights who accompanied them explained what had happened. When they separated from the silver phantom and marched to the intersection of Pilgrimage Street, they encountered a group of Templars, and the 8 knights who guarded them couldn't even block a move, they were slashed away by the powerful sword qi, but fortunately, they were all elite knights, and the other party did not kill them, although everyone was injured, but there were no deaths.
The knights of the escort team are all elites drawn from the Duke's Palace guards, all of them are at the level of superior warriors, and the leader is a martial artist for more than ten years. The door of the carriage was blasted open by a sword aura from the knight led by the other party, and it was at that time that Dongyue was injured.
After listening to what happened, Qin Shouzhuo only felt anger rising from his heart, and evil was born to his guts, and slapped the broken carriage, and before he could speak, he heard the angry roar of the Duke in his ear: "It's really too deceitful!! notify the escort team to gather, get my weapon, and follow me to kill it!"
What a mighty old man, Qin Shouzhuo, who was bluffed and stunned, forgot what he had just done, only felt that his palms were numb for a while, and he watched the old man order his troops and horses in front of the gate of the Duke's Palace, and lined up in formation to prepare to set off. Just as he was about to get on the horse, the Duke seemed to remember something, and when he turned around and saw Qin Shouzhuo, who was still stunned, his eyes were even more angry: "!! boy, didn't you say that you like my daughter? Didn't you say that you want to protect her for the rest of your life?" Why didn't you even dare to fart when the Holy See robbed you!! still not a !!man?"
"Well!! old fellow, isn't this preempted by you, I'll drive over first, and you will come later!" Qin Shou, who was scolded by the duke, was stunned by his anger and rekindled, and he also got up with his old man.
"Hahahaha~ Okay! It's a man, Raphael is not wrong! But the speed of your broken car, you better take your time in the back, take a step first. Driving!~~~" The Duke didn't care, turned over his horse, waved his horsewhip, and led the team to gallop away with a "snap".
Qin Shouclumsy didn't argue and didn't have time to argue, his heart said that it was not necessary to see who arrived first, let's see, I was taking care of you turtles who didn't exceed the speed before, the silver phantom never broke out, it has always been in a low-speed state, this time it is just to show everyone what it means to be galloping.
Qin Shouzhuo opened the door and got into the car and sat down, the key was inserted, the spiritual power was linked to the control panel, the fourth restriction array was activated, and three pieces of magic crystals with a cubic centimeter size fell into the engine compartment in a row and shattered, and the violent magic power instantly broke through the shackles of the first restriction array, then the second one, and the third restriction array was barely suppressed, and then the high-pressure magic power rushed into the fourth restriction array and spread to all corners of the car.
A large number of magic patterns on the surface of the silver phantom lit up for the first time, the so-called drag racing before, these formations had not even been activated, and now, Qin Shouzhuo had decided to show the full strength of the silver phantom to deter a group of ill-intentioned guys.
The most different thing between Qin Shouzhuo's silver phantom and the vehicles on the blue star is that the silver phantom does not achieve energy integration, but uses a more primitive gasoline-electric hybrid structure, using a magic crystal combustion furnace instead of an internal combustion engine to generate electricity. Fortunately, whether it is the magic array that outputs electricity or the motor that provides power, its power control is not much behind the energy integration vehicle on the blue star, and it can reach full power output in an instant.
The load of the magic crystal burning furnace reached its maximum, causing a violent vibration of the surrounding magic field, affecting the hearing system of ordinary people nearby, and the ordinary people such as the housekeeper uncle next to him covered their ears and ran away, dodging the extremely high frequency of piercing howls coming from the silver phantom.
In the distance, Lord Duke's horse team had disappeared into the night, and this side hadn't even set off yet, Qin Shouzhuo just raised the power, the howling of the control panel became more and more serious, and a layer of 1.5m thick invisible nitrogen armor around the body gradually took shape, which was enough to defend against the full force of the quasi-swordsman, but the original intention of designing this defensive magic was not to resist the attack, but to resist the wind pressure.
Although he couldn't see it, Qin Shouzhuo knew that the defensive shape of this magic was designed by himself in the shape of a water drop, which could effectively reduce wind resistance, and by the way, if he hit something, it could also play a role in protecting the vehicle. As for hitting someone...... This place is not a human rights society, and people who can afford this kind of car can just pay some money to kill a civilian.
When everything was ready, the pointer of the control disk was killed in the blood-red area, and the engine roared to indicate that the power level of the magic disk had reached a critical point. Qin Shouzhuo turned on the headlights, which were different from the dim horse lamps that were common in this world, and the two snow-white lights like training illuminated hundreds of meters in front of him as if it were day.
Qin Shouzhuo pushed the joystick into the forward gear, introduced the ultra-high voltage DC power into the motor, released the brake, and the 1.5-ton sports car burst out with a surging power of nearly 700 horsepower, and completed the acceleration of 0~100km in 5 seconds, with a roar that resounded through half of the imperial capital, and ran out in less than a minute, leaving Duke Edgar Jefferson and his party behind.
"Hahahaha, good guy, run so fast~ Little guys, don't lose to this new guy, drive !!"
The red taillights gradually disappeared into the darkness, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves was heard in the quiet streets.
