Chapter 58: The Spring of Milanger
On April 5th, more than a dozen magical alchemy airships were already parked on the platform outside Raiden Castle. Looking at the badges, most of them belong to the Redden family, but of course there are other families. As a veteran aristocrat with a heritage of more than 3,000 years, their competition mode of selecting successors has been imitated by many families and has never been surpassed. Because they only see a game, and they can't see the whole set of links behind it.
On top of the main fort of Raiden Castle, there is a special observation deck built here, which can seat hundreds of people, and at this moment, it is full. On this are not only some nobles and lords within or outside the clan, but also their children. Although in the name of learning and communication, only a very small number of people think so stupidly. They came to choose the marriage partner, and many marriages were made at this time. Although sometimes they are useless at all, it seems that all the nobles are enthusiastic about this kind of game and enjoy it.
Duke Redden sat Duke Meg and Duke Lando, and a little farther away were Marquis of RΓ΄me and Marquis of Prorentus. Behind him are the marquis and earl of the Redden family, and of course the lords of other families.
In what the nobles thought was humorous and funny, the master of ceremonies began to announce the rules of the competition: "According to the regulations, there are a total of eight competitors participating in this competition, namely Breno, 226,000 points, Rhea, 223,500 points, Dodge, 210,700 points, Hauge, 203,900 points, Noyce, 190,000 points, Vidotree, 183,000 points, Mogras 164,000 points, Teyi, 150,000 points." The bottom four will start to choose your opponents, and each person can only be chosen once, Teyi, you start choosing!"
Tei was first on the left of the playing table, and opposite her was the top four, led by Breno. To be honest, she was inspired by Leia to participate in this successor selection, but what she didn't expect was that she actually achieved a good score of 15 points and ranked in the top eight. This was already a big surprise for her, and she naturally had no further extravagance, so he chose Brenaud, who was ranked first. Even if you know that there is no hope of winning, you must see the demeanor of the first person in the family.
"Brother Breno, then let the little sister see your style!" Teyi's words spread throughout the audience through the amplified magic array. This immediately aroused the interest of the nobles, and they began to discuss endlessly.
"Whose daughter is this?!" asked Duke Meg.
"This is the daughter of the Count of Varus, and now the third is his son, they are the two new pillars of the Varus family, if you want to marry, don't think about it, that old guy who picks the door will not marry her off easily. Duke Raidon half-jokingly.
"Nothing is impossible as long as you can afford it. Duke Meg said with a smile, then turned his head back: "Charles, what do you think of her?"
"Father, I was touched by her talent and beauty. "Duke Meg has brought with him a pair of children today, and the daughter is none other than the famous third lady Alanna.
"If it were your heir, I think he would seriously consider it. Duke Redden smiled and said, "Duke Lando, don't you have any ideas?"
"Oh, I think Leia is more suitable for my son who is too weak than her, you see, I'm sorry that his weakness has prevented him from traveling far. "Lando's goal is bigger, and the price to pay is greater, which is tantamount to saying, you let Leia come over, and I will let her take care of the family affairs.
Hearing this, Meg secretly scolded the old fox of Lando in her heart, and his greatest hope now was that Arrotis would not agree, and it was better to refuse directly.
"I'm sorry, Duke Lando, I can't make decisions about Leia's marriage, I promised my lover that the children's marriage will be up to them. Of course, if they choose it themselves, I will fully support it. Duke Raidon didn't say anything to death, but it was almost there, and it also blocked Duke Meg's back road, because anyone with a discerning eye knew that the purpose of bringing Alanna was nothing more than Brenaud.
"Oh! You don't have to apologize for it, who doesn't know your devotion to love? Duke Lando replied.
"Don't talk about that, let's watch the game! If that kid messes me up, I'll let him go to the barracks to wash the horses." Duke Raidon affirmed.
"How is this possible? I think he alone can go against each other in a team battle. With this, he can be invincible. "Lando obviously knows the rules of the game.
"I agree with that, but there will be accidents in the game, and who's to say it isn't?" said Duke Meg, who seemed to have defended Teyi as if he were his own family.
Varus Redden was sitting not far away, although he didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he heard all this clearly, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, Your son, although he is good, he has not yet reached the point of being worthy of my daughter. Varus considered himself inferior to Arrotis who defeated him in many ways, but he dared to say that he was no worse or even better than him when it came to raising his children and treating his feelings. Sitting beside him was the Marquis of Brankson, with Brix right behind him. Noticing the sneer on the corner of the good brother's mouth, he also laughed. Varus turned his head, and the two of them looked at each other, both understanding what the other meant.
Brenaud led the people to the battle platform, and then stood there quietly, all they could do was wait, because the rule was that they waited for the opponent to arrange their troops, and they only had the right to passively accept the challenge.
Teyi also led people up, but when he saw the other party's people, a pair of beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and with a beautiful and innocent face, there was an indescribable style. Milanger was already deeply intoxicated by this style, and could not extricate himself. He no longer felt that he was still stepping on the earth, but flying in the spring breeze.
"The tower, the third on the left. Teyi was very unhappy when he saw that kind of lustful eyes, and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Milanger only found out he had been chosen after being lightly kicked by Breno, which left him a little confused, the other party was a formidable fighter and he certainly wasn't the opponent. However, at this time, how can he shamelessly use the scroll or admit defeat? No, it must not work, even if he loses, he must let her see his unyielding side!
Soon after the game began, there was an uproar in the audience, but I didn't expect that there would be a one-sided crushing at the beginning. The follower of the first place was violently beaten by the eighth place! This can't help but remind many people of the "Black Eight Miracle" of the year, and the creator of this miracle is the current Duke of Raidon, Arrotis, and he also has an identity as Brenaud's father, is this a causal cycle? He successfully counterattacked because of the Black Eight Miracle, and his son was about to be crushed by the Black Eight Miracle and failed?
In less than two minutes, Milanger was covered in injuries. However, he still stubbornly got up again, because he saw that her eyes were still focused on him, and he might have been moved by his tenacious will, and as long as he held on a little longer, he might be more favored by her.
This guy is such a stupid pig! I don't know if he can admit defeat? He thinks that he will be able to move his opponent in this way?! Brother Brenaud is such a shrewd person, he actually found such a garbage follower, let the tower teach him a lesson! I have to look at the tower, I can't let him kill someone by mistake, otherwise he will leave a bad impression on Brother Breno. Teyi thought to the side.
Standing on the side of the battle table, several people except Helles exchanged glances, and they all knew that Milanger had made the same mistake that all nobles often make, nymphomaniac! Punk was very anxious, he knew that in the whole circle, Milangel was close to marginalization. If he continues like this, although Brenaud will not abandon him, he will definitely not continue to use him. Mungo was more of a sneer in his heart, he respected love, because his mother died for his father's martyrdom, but in his opinion, nothing was as important as strength and status. Therefore, for many years, he has not found a wife in the Mangula Mountains, if he has desires, just find a woman to vent, there are many such places in the chaotic land.
Breno turned his gaze to Delin again, who also made a helpless look at him. The rules of the battle table are that no one can interfere in the battle.
Breno's face was ugly, and Milonger's performance was so disappointing that he didn't go according to the predetermined plan, which made the future battle very passive. In the semi-finals, whoever it is, will definitely seize this weakness and force a point back. If Delin uses his mental power to attack this hole card in today's battle, then tomorrow's decisive battle will be a tough battle, and the possibility of losing is not even ruled out!
On the viewing platform, Duke Raidon's face was a little ugly, while Duke Meg was smiling, as if to say, "Look! I was prescient." Both the Earl of Brown and the Marquis of Varus smiled, and their son's hopes of victory were raised considerably. If the other one is the same, then it's basically fine. The man in their hearts is Delin.
Milanger also sobered up a lot after being beaten, but it was impossible for him to use the Truth Aegis Scroll to protect himself, so he had to wait for the other party to seriously injure him, which seemed to be the best of both worlds. So he took the place of stalking, although he was only beaten by rotten all the time.
"You stupid pig! You are stupid! Don't you have any strength? No wonder you will be the first to be sent! Don't you know that the first one is cannon fodder? I was just an accident!" Milanger began to anger the tower, trying to achieve his goal.
Teizi tried his best to suppress the anger of the tower, but although Milangal's strength was not good, his kung fu was indeed not weak. Moments later, the tower had gone berserk, and Teyi had lost control of him.
A heavy kick knocked Milanger out of the platform, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead, but the sound of his bones breaking could be heard as clearly as he had scolded him before. A priest had already walked over and released advanced healing techniques on him, but the result was still seriously injured! It is estimated that he will not be able to participate in the battle for half a month.
The news somewhat relieved Brenaud and Duke Raidon, but the others' faces were not so good-looking. If you can't fight, you can't compete, and there's no way to get wins and points from him. Varus's face was the most ugly, because her daughter had ruined her son's great hope of victory.
Teyi didn't know her father's mind at this time, she thought that Brother Brenaud would definitely be angry. "Brother Breno, I'm sorry, I can't control the Tower. β
"It's okay, he did it himself. Brenaud replied with a smile.
"In the first game, Teyi wins!" the referee came to the stage to announce, "In the second game, Brenaud picks the match." "The losing side has the choice, and that's the rule.
"Mongo, resolve the battle quickly. Breno chose to play Mungo, then said to the opposite side, "The first one on the right." β
Mungo came on to sweep away the slump brought by Milangel, taking down his opponent within two rounds and winning cleanly. And below the platform, the other competitors all looked at it, and Meng Ge was completely crushing the opposite side with his own strength level, and his own performance did not have anything outstanding, he was just a decent level 15 fighter.
In the third and final match, Teyi opted for a best-of-three match because she had no intention of beating Brenaud. In this case, Tey chose Delin because this guy was one of two people who didn't look into Milonger's injury. She felt that this man was very ruthless. The other is Mungo, who has just made a move and can't challenge again.
Delin knew that the other party was likely to choose him, and the reason would naturally not be as Teyi thought, but because he was also a soft persimmon, an ordinary person similar to Milanger.
Walking to the stage, Delin took out his staff, which looked like an ordinary dead wood branch or root, and raised it high with his left hand, about to recite the spell to release the spell, and the surrounding fire elemental began to boil. It's a fireball technique! The person on the other side is a level 12 warrior, seeing Delin release the spell, he rushed over quickly without falling, and the time to release a living ball spell generally takes about three seconds, and he is enough to rush over to interrupt it, and it is very likely to win the game in one fell swoop.
The fireball technique flew over, smashing his opponent less than two meters away head-on, crushing the Dou Qi armor he had gathered in a hurry, and then Delin bounced and landed a long knife on the opponent's neck.
"In the third game, Brenaud wins! Please start preparing for a team battle!" the referee abruptly announced the result of the duel.
Many people don't understand why, can a weak mage take a knife to the neck of a warrior and win? Is this a shady scene? Many nobles have turned their puzzled eyes to Duke Raidon. However, the Duke of Redden himself had no fewer doubts in his heart than they did, and Brenaud never told him about his followers, nor did he ask, but only secretly observed.
At this time, he, like many other nobles of the Redden family, firmly believed in the judges' decisions, because no one could get information from the judging panel, except for the judges in the arena. But he had to show an expression that everyone understood, because he couldn't let the other families know the rules.
Perhaps because he was sorry for hurting Milanger, or because he felt that there was no hope of winning, or for some other reason, Teyi chose to give up. Brenaud entered the semi-finals "without danger".
