The next morning, the streets of the imperial capital began to be lively, at eight o'clock in the morning, countless adventurers and aristocratic warriors emerged from the streets and alleys, from all directions, after meeting each other, talking to each other about the possible results of today, as to who can win and who can lose on both sides of the duel, what will happen to the winning side in the future, what kind of reaction should be made by the other side, and then they all rushed towards the central square of the empire.

By less than nine o'clock, the central square was already packed......

Originally, Duan Lie and the Marton family had a personal fight, because of his current identity, which led to the rivalry between the two major forces of the War Soul Academy and the Marton family, many people have not figured out what happened, the War Soul Academy has a huge power and enjoys a reputation in the empire, and the Marton family is not bad, how did they get together? From an outsider's point of view, this is just a mystery.

Especially for the sake of a new student, the War Spirit Academy tore its face with the Marton family, and those who don't know the outline of it still have a keen mentality, trying to detect a little clue from today's results, and the vast majority of the magnates and nobles who exist in the high positions of the empire have basically understood it after two months of running-in.

The fourth-line gifted war master, who was invited by Craig to become a senior advisor to the Appraiser Alliance Guild at a young age, these two backgrounds alone are enough for the War Spirit Academy to tear up its face with the Marton family at all costs. And those who live in the local area know that in the past few years, the War Spirit Academy and the Marton family have maintained peace on the surface, but in fact the relationship is not very good. There is this kind of opportunity to hit each other, not to mention Holo and Hodler, I'm afraid even the always kind Di Luo will not let go.

So before half past nine, almost all the heads of the major forces of the Heavenly Wind Empire appeared.

Because it is a personal vendetta, it is impossible for the empire to allow a lot of trouble, but with the face of the two major forces of the War Spirit Academy and the Marton family, the king still approved the location of the duel to be set on the central square, which is a place of great attention, and many major events have happened, such as the founding ceremony of the Tianfeng Empire, the award of medals by Generalissimo Inez who defeated the troops of neighboring countries, etc., and the location of the duel here today is of course not as good as the major events that happened in the history of the Heavenly Empire, but it represents the significance of witnessing.

To witness the victory or defeat of this duel with the eyes of the world is completed under the principle of fairness and justice, no matter who wins or loses, this conflict can be put to rest.

From the perspective of the empire, both the War Spirit Academy and the Marton family are quite powerful forces, if the two forces finally tear their faces because of a small fight, it will be greatly disadvantageous to the country, which is also the meaning of the imperial family, so this time the royal family sent the most influential generalissimo Inez in the empire.

At half past nine, Duan Lie slowly walked into the central square under the leadership of Di Luo and Kane, Duan Lie was surrounded by the Great Elder Golden Lion of the War Soul Academy, and behind him were Trist, Bray, Eric and others, and more than two dozen people were counted as the delegation of the War Soul Academy, but in fact, the people from the War Soul Academy stood in the audience of almost the entire eastern ring, and those were all students from the academy, who came to cheer for Duan Lie.

As soon as Duan Lie walked into the square, he saw several familiar faces walking towards him with a smile.

"Haha, Duan Lie, I haven't seen you for two months, everyone is in good spirits, how about it, these two months have been very hard. "The man who walked over was Joseph, the patriarch of the Manvis family, this old man who had opened nearly dozens of weapons and equipment shops in the empire, he had always been humble and quite business-minded, when Duan Lie was hired as the guild of the Appraiser Alliance, he took out a holy weapon shield, and it is still in Duan Lie's Void Ring.

In fact, the two of them have met twice, once on Mantis Street, and once in dormitory No. 13 of the War Spirit Academy, but Joseph's performance is as if he has seen an old friend who has not seen him for many years, and the kung fu that has come over has constantly cheered Duan Lie on, which is really impossible to refuse.

Duan Lie exchanged a few words with him, and then watched Saron come over, the thin old man just nodded to that station, compared to Joseph, Saron belongs to the type of person who is not good at words, as if he himself knows that he is not welcomed, those eyes always flashed with a creepy fierce light, he didn't say much, standing next to Craig and whispering didn't know what to talk about.

Then there was Daniel, who took Alaric up to say hello, everyone was an old acquaintance, and they didn't say much about the scene, and then everyone looked at each other.

On the side of the Marton family, Hodler and Holo were all present, Homan has not yet appeared, the two of them are talking around an old man who looks quite strong, Lei Pei and Ma Sen are Duan Lie's acquaintances to accompany him, Duan Lie paid special attention to the old man, about fifty or sixty years old, his body is as strong as a fierce bear, wearing a set of golden armor, he looks mighty, and the armor is also quite heavy.

Of course, this is just an intuitive feeling, if you really want to study the essence and material of the armor, it is actually not heavy, Duan Lie can see at a glance that it is an armor made of red crystal ore, the grade is about forty or above, it is a rare holy weapon armor, from the pattern carved on the breastplate, at least three or more traces of inscriptions can be found, in addition, the wrist armor is a composite inscription, and the leg armor is also, a war pattern is draped behind him, and the embroidered with magic silk is actually the leader inscription.

The leader inscription has only one function, and when commanding the team and marching battles, it can give full play to the leader's light by injecting fighting energy, and the so-called leader's light is the energy that stimulates the fighting spirit of the fighters, which can at least double the overall strength of the team of more than 500.

Duan Lie nodded after reading it, I have to say that the marshal of the empire is majestic, and he is dressed with a lot of money, and it is estimated that this body is almost enough to buy an artifact.

Of course, the value of the artifact could not be measured by money, but Duan Lie already knew the identity of the old man.

Generalissimo of the Empire, Duke Inez.

Seeing the team of the War Spirit Academy appear, Inez beckoned to Dilo, Dilo told everyone to wait, and then walked over, I don't know what he said to Inez, and after a while, Dilo walked back with a sad face.

Craig was more anxious, and seeing the reluctance on Dillo's face, he asked, "Dillo, what did the Duke tell you?"

Di Luo looked at everyone, and finally fell on Duan Lie's body, sighed and said: "Today's things are a little difficult to handle, just now Hodler proposed that this duel needs to sign a life and death contract......"

"A contract of life and death?"
