Chapter 177: The Instigator?

"Whoa!" the table fell to the ground with a thud, and the parts that had been rotted by the gray beam had turned into a pile of sawdust.

After casting the "Negative Energy Ray", Eric found that when he cast the magic just now, the magic runes on the "Breaking Dawn" did not light up as before.

Although he no longer looked like he was in a hurry, Eric was satisfied, but he still looked at Oleg with some puzzlement.

"I said, big brother! You are my own big brother! Don't take other people's property, and don't take your property properly! This table is made of redwood!

Don't make such a fuss, Daybreak is more active when it's first forged, so the magic runes on it will only glow when you cast your magic.

As for the future, only when your strength reaches a certain level, these magic runes will light up again.

It's not a good thing to be more like a wizard, sometimes a wizard means wealth, and although I know you're poor now, you have a lot of money when you do!" Oleg said with a shrug.

Eric, who realized a bit of intimacy between himself and Daybreak, was very happy that he had a secret weapon that he could pass on.

Smiling, Eric was about to leave, but Oleg threw him another piece of clothing: "This is made from the fur of the frost troll, and the forging and leather making are a family!"

Oleg's clothes were not very large, and Eric tried them and found that they only covered his chest and back.

So, Eric couldn't help but ask Oleg: "It's so big?"

"How big do you think it can be? It's because I'm so good at crafting it without any waste! Go away, I can't even open my eyelids!" Oleg said with a wave of his hand.

Eric, who turned to leave, had not yet walked out of the hall when Oleg's snoring came from behind him, to which Eric smiled and said, "It seems that he is really tired!"

When Eric walks down the street outside the Black Swan Manor, he finds that many people are looking at him with a strange look, which makes Eric a little confused.

"You know, Lord Sophia is going to duel Eric and Francisco!"

"Why is that?"

"I heard that it was because Francisco sent someone to assassinate His Excellency Eric!"

When the whispers of many people on the street reached Eric's ears, the first person that came to Eric's mind was Humphrey: "Did he tell him about it?"

The Black Swan Manor is very well guarded, especially at the entrance to the interior of the Black Swan Manor, where there are several probationary priests to prevent dark creatures from infiltrating the manor.

As Eric passed by, the guards at the entrance saluted Eric, who was also the owner of the Black Swan Manor.

As he walked a short distance from the castle, Eric saw a number of people gathered on the lawn in front of the castle, the most prominent of which was Francisco, who was talking to Sophia.

"Sophia, even if you're right, do you have proof? You'd better tell Eric to be careful when you go out!" Francisco said aloud to Sophia.

"Brother, he's talking nonsense, he's been cultivating for a while now, it's impossible for him to do this! He won't be able to see anyone without my father's order!" said Miri, who stopped Sophia as she was about to draw her sword.

As soon as Francisco finished speaking to Sofia, he was about to turn and leave, when he happened to see Eric walking towards him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the arena became quiet, because everyone saw Eric.

"Get out of the way!" Francisco slammed into Eric with an exasperated look on his face.

There was a muffled "bang!" sound from Francisco and Eric's chest as they collided, and Francisco took two steps back in surprise.

If it weren't for the guards supporting Francisco, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground on the spot.

"Your Excellency Francisco, this is my manor! a bit aristocratic bearing, okay?" said Eric, who was not moving at all, looking at Francisco with a playful expression.

"Francisco, if you are still a man, accept my dueling request, and anyone who is hostile to the Black Swan Manor will pay the price of blood!"

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Sophia threw the tulip badge representing her family at Francisco, and Sophia's actions made Miri almost cry.

The tulip badge that flew towards Francisco was taken by Eric, and he didn't want Sophia and Francisco to end badly.

Eric and Sophia, who had caught the tulip badge, said, "It seems that there is really a misunderstanding between you, who said that Francisco sent someone to assassinate me?

Francisco, who heard Eric's explanation to Sophia, not only did not become happy, but instead lowered his face and said to Eric: "What are you?

Tell you, I really let people teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect Lady Luck to favor you once and let you survive!"

As soon as Francisco said this, he was attacked by Eric.

Before the two guards around Francisco could react, Eric kicked him in the chest and flew backwards.

"Look for death! How dare you attack Your Excellency Francisco!" Francisco's dozen or so bodyguards all attacked Eric.

"Stop!" Francisco, who was kicked to the ground by Eric, got up from the ground and shouted to stop his guards.

"Very good! No wonder Sophia would look at you differently, I didn't expect your strength to be so strong! I didn't react at all, and I was kicked away by you!

However, you are still not qualified to decide for me whether or not to accept a duel!"

Francisco looked at Eric with a look of resentment.

"Or will I give it back to you?" Eric handed the tulip badge to Francisco.

At this moment, Francisco, who was still a little arrogant just now, immediately wilted, he ignored Eric's movements, and snorted and said: "Since you are so powerful, I hope you can accept my challenge at the celebration at the end of the month!"

Seeing Francisco leave like this, Miri stroked his chest, and after exhaling a big breath, said to Sophia: "Sofia, do you hate Francisco so much?"

He also threw a family crest at him, you don't really like this guy, do you? Even if he is barely a nobleman now, he is still far from worthy of you!"

Sofia shook her head and said, "I never said anything, it was Francisco himself who came to mumble." You know, I personally prefer to be quiet, and now I just want to train the Unicorn Knights!"

"Really, you're so nice! I knew you wouldn't be so aggressive with Francisco!

No, I've got to tell him quickly!" Miri kissed Sophia on the cheek before turning away, but glanced sideways at Eric as she passed by.

After seeing Miri leave, Eric returned the tulip badge to Sophia: "You were too impulsive just now, if Francisco took the tulip badge, no one would be able to get off the stage!"

"Isn't there you by his side? Actually, whether you take it or not, it's the same for me.

You'd better take it, so that I can show my hatred of assassination and make Francisco retreat.

If you don't, then I'll take this opportunity to teach Francisco a thorough lesson!By the way, did Francisco really send someone to assassinate you?" Sophia asked Eric with a curious expression.

Eric was silent for a while, and then said to Sophia: "I don't know, you know Francisco better, do you think that a person like him would make everyone know about the assassination of others?"

"Francisco has a lot of shortcomings, but he's not stupid, and it won't do him any good!" Sofia replied very simply.

"Who knows! Maybe Francisco did it on purpose. After all, the human heart is the most elusive thing. Eric smiled.

"By the way, when are you going to live in your castle, and Laika Town is so appealing to you?" Sophia asked Eric again.

Eric, who had planned for a long time, immediately replied, "I'll move here tonight, by the way, what kind of celebration did Francisco mention just now?"

"The 27th of the month is the 'end of the harvest' of the year, and the Empire holds a celebration on this day every year, and it has been before!

The contest of arms between the nobles was also part of the celebration, and it seemed that Francisco was destined to lose face in front of everyone!" said Sophia with a slight smile.

"Hah! you have a lot of faith in me, but alas, I won't be at the celebration at that time!" Eric said.

When Sophia heard this, she thought that Eric would not go to the celebration, but in fact, Eric meant that in a few days, he would accompany Jack to Winter's Castle.

Since moving into the Black Swan Manor, the Unicorn Knights' training has become more and more intense.

There was a huge training ground behind the Black Swan Castle, and Eric could hear the cheers coming from there.

When the training ground came into Eric's field of vision, he saw a very brutal scene.

Al, the big boy, was knocked to the ground by Emily several times, and El, who was hit by Emily's knee in the face, stood up with snot and tears on his face and jumped and jumped.

The girls of the Unicorn Knights laughed aloud and unscrupulously, while Viconia had a concerned expression on her face, constantly comforting Al. (To be continued.) )
