Richard kicked the guard and said coldly: "Don't pretend to be dead, the wound is shallow, and if you don't get up, I will really kill you."

The guard's whole body shook, and his body, which had been completely out of consciousness, suddenly seemed to come to life again, although there was a steady stream of fine pain all over his body, but compared to the terrifying feeling just now, which seemed to have only one head left, he almost cried with joy, this is the feeling of being alive

As soon as Richard drank it again, he immediately turned over and got up, and sure enough, although there were many painful places, they were not very violent, and his limbs could still move, but his hands and feet were cold and numb, and he felt very heavy, as if he was being pressed by a thousand pounds of weight

However, several strong people around him could see that all the courage and ambition of this guard had been destroyed by Richard, and on the other hand, his injuries were actually much worse than the surface wounds, and the flesh and blood of several important parts of the joints showed signs of necrosis, and if there was no great priest of Nolan's level to help him, even if he was healed, the injury level would not be able to exceed level ten

The Earl of Cardiff held back his anger and shouted to Richard: "Who are you, why did you hurt my guards, if you can't give a reason that satisfies me, don't think about it so lightly today."

Richard smiled indifferently and said, "You dare to do something to my people without even knowing who I am"

Cardiff's face flashed with anger, but when he glanced at Nereis beside Richard, his eyes had become quite complicated, and he sneered: " Which big man should I be, it turned out to be Richard of Akmund, but Lina is a knight of the Marquis of Gordon, when did you become your follower, let a great mage be a follower, you are really majestic, and this is Faust, you openly killed another nobleman's bodyguard, why did you rely on the status of a royal constructor, how do I remember that you have not been officially awarded the title of nobility of the Holy Alliance, so now you are just a commoner, according to the law, civilians who hurt people are subject to corporal punishment"

Richard didn't pay any attention to Cardiff and held out his hand to Lina and said, "Lina, come here"

Master Long walked up to Richard as he said, and this time no one dared to stop him

Even if Cardiff wants to use force to deal with a lone archmage, it's one thing altogether, when the archmage has an extra melee force by his side, it's another thing entirely, when there is still a fourth prince and a group of royal foot knights standing next to him, the use of force becomes a stupid thing

"Next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't be in a hurry, your life is very precious, remember to take it slowly, just wait for me to come, even if I come late, I will let those who dare to touch you double the repayment, no matter who the other party belongs to, which family" Richard said lightly, but these words made the faces of Earl Cardiff and his subordinates immediately become more ugly, this is **naked contempt

Suddenly, there was a bang, and it turned out to be the injured guard who fell to the ground again, this time he was really injured and fainted

"Your Excellency Richard, what are you going to do about the injury to my guard," Earl Cardiff asked coldly

Richard patted Lina, who was about to speak, pulled her behind him, and then asked the Earl of Cardiff with an elegant smile, "By the way, who are you?"

Count Cardiff's face flushed, but he still held back his anger and said, "I am Count Cardiff of the Tucson family."

Richard thought for a moment and said, "The Tucson family is famous, but who is the Earl of Cardiff?"

The Earl of Cardiff suddenly rushed to the top of his head and roared, "Richard"

Richard raised his head and smiled and looked at him without dodging and said, "How do you want to duel?"

Cardiff's arrogance was half extinguished at once

"Your Excellency Richard, you have hurt my guard, you must give me an explanation," Cardiff said in a calm voice

Richard also put away his smile and stared at Cardiff and said: "You let the dog out and bite people, I didn't kill the dog is already very merciful, you won't be really stupid enough to think that you can take this matter to the Privy Council, of course, if you want, then I will accompany you to the end, and finally remind you that a guy I have not heard of does not represent the Tucson family, so don't use the surname Tucson to scare people, and Faust is not your family's backyard, I believe that no one here has the guts to commit perjury"

Cardiff's face was white, and Richard's last words let him know that the other party had at least witnessed most of the previous process, and he also knew that if this matter was seriously investigated, he really couldn't take it seriously, but if this kind of thing went to the Privy Council, it was not about who was more reasonable, but the result of the competition between the forces behind the two sides

Richard has a damn right, in this kind of injury case dispute, the Tucson family may be able to stabilize Akmund, but it does not mean that he, the Earl of Cardiff, can absolutely suppress Richard, not to mention that there is also a Prince of Nereis present, even if the comptoir is on his side, it is not so easy to reverse black and white

In the end, Cardiff had to roar: "Carry this waste on our way"

"Wait," Richard said slowly

"What else do you want," Cardiff grimaced

"You just wanted to attack my people, so you want to leave, I don't think I have such a good talk."

Cardiff laughed angrily and said, "Very well, then let me see how you are so bad at talking"

Richard turned his head and said, "Nereus has a boutique exhibition hall and an auction upstairs, right?"

Nereus had been leaning leisurely on the handrail of the stairs, nodding his head, this was simply knowingly asking the two of them to come for the small auction, but now, of course, he cooperated with the trick, slightly raised his head, and added with a pure and innocent face: "It is said that there will be sacrifices and rare magic materials at this auction."

"It's rare to have sacrifices," Richard looked at Cardiff with an exaggerated look of surprise and said, "That guy behind you just got rid of Lina's pocket money, did you forget it so quickly?"

The middle-aged nobleman named by Richard moved his body unnaturally

"It's just 200,000, I'll pay her 400,000," Cardiff sneered, reached out and took out a palm-sized parchment book from his pocket, looking at the light brown texture, it should be a common accounting voucher for nobles

"I said 200,000 is just her pocket money, do you have water in your ears" Richard looked at Cardiff, his face gradually turning purple because of the continuous provocations, and finally showed his fangs

Richard always maintained an elegant smile, but his eyes on Cardiff revealed a trace of disdain and malice that was enough to anger him: "I just heard someone say that Akmund is a poor ghost, so presumably the person who said this will not mind burning money with a poor ghost, since there is an auction above, let's compete to see who is the real poor ghost, who throws more money at the auction, who will win, whatever is auctioned, donate it to the Eternal Dragon Palace, how about Viscount Cardiff, do you dare?"

"I'm the Earl of Cardiff," Cardiff roared and corrected, Richard's eyes were bloodshot, "Okay, just do as you say, but what do you say if you lose"

Richard said lightly: "Gambling is a compulsory course for every nobleman, for nothing more than a slap in the face and a woman of wealth, then we will come to both, the bet is three million gold coins plus two slaps, how about Baron Cardiff, do you dare?"

"That's it, and I'm the Earl of Cardiff," Cardiff growled

Cardiff hadn't seen Richard before, and he didn't recognize him at first sight, because Richard's appearance today is too different from the image of the dark blue mage in the data, and Cardiff didn't count Richard at all in planning Lina's affairs, for a great mage, especially a talented dragon mage like Lina, her personal will is the most important, and the binding force of the Akmund family on her is almost negligible

However, this did not prevent Cardiff from hating Richard very much now, and not only because of the injury to his guard, the elegant and handsome young man in front of him was simply a typical Akmund, rude, arrogant, and reckless, and constantly stirred his anger from the first sentence

Cardiff might hesitate if Richard made any other bets, but there is no good reason to have a direct confrontation with a royal constructor, but competing for wealth is a game that is entirely in the rules, and Cardiff will never be afraid of an Akmund in this field, even if the name of this Akmund is Richard

Richard will make money again, and now he is only a big constructor, and he has not yet made a fourth-order construct, and the most fatal point of Richard is that the time for him to start making money is still too short, even if he is ten times more calm, according to the standards of a normal constructor, he can't accumulate much wealth at this time, because the constructor at this stage still has to spend a lot of materials to learn and practice, and the expensive price of the new construct, which is based on a large number of failure rates

A constructor doesn't make much money in the first half of their career, and they really start to accumulate wealth in the later stages of their careers, when the construction level has reached a bottleneck, like Luno, the Tucson family did a comprehensive assessment of him after Richard released "The Death of Life", and came to the conclusion that this is more or less the case

That life annihilation should have been the product of a flash of inspiration

A constructor like Richard is a wealth with infinite potential, and if Gordon is still around, he may be promoted to the rank of duke in the shortest possible time, and even squeeze the Joseph family down the floating island rankings, but Gordon is gone, and the current Akmund family does not know how long they will be able to keep this wealth

However, many times the potential is not cash, and the bet proposed by Richard is three million gold coins, which is a number that can definitely scare off the vast majority of ordinary nobles, but in the eyes of the real wealthy core, this is a big number, but it is not so big that it makes people lose their will to fight
