Chapter 11: Duel
Dick and Gold also saluted Edward VII.
Edward VII was nearly fifty years old, but he was still a rather heroic man, and his youthful handsomeness was faintly evident from his eyebrows. Perhaps because he has been on the throne for a long time, he has a trace of the majesty of a king between his expectations.
"Dick Hill. Edward VII called.
"The minister is here. Dick immediately stepped forward.
Edward VII said on the throne: "You are the pride of our Miro Empire, and you have proved to the whole continent the strength of the younger generation of our Miro Empire! ”
Xie Bixia complimented. Dick said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I heard that you were the same one who defeated Macfarlane who came to provoke the Empire a few months ago, is that true?" asked Edward VII again.
"Yes, Bixia. Dick replied.
"Okay!" Edward VII daxiao, "then you are already a viscount of the Empire, and the fief should be in Oriel City, so now I will give you the title of earl, and from now on, the province of Otto, where Aurel City is located, will be your fief." At the same time, a reward of 500,000 gold coins and an earl's palace in the imperial capital was awarded. ”
"Thanks, Bixia!" Dick saluted, then stepped aside.
"Gold-Sarah," Edward VII called again.
"In. Gold also stepped forward and said.
"You are also the pride of the Empire, and you have won glory for the Empire, and you are now rewarded with 100,000 gold coins, and you have been made a viscount, and your territory is in the city of Boer, in the province of Otto. "Edward VII said.
"Thanks, Bixia!" said Gold, saluting.
Edward VII then made some encouraging remarks, and Dick and Gold listened patiently, and then Edward VII ordered them to retreat.
Guided by the palace envoys, Dick and Gold walked straight out of the city of Millrock, and along the way, they also saw the prosperity of the city of Millrock. Not to mention anything else, it took two people and two hours to walk from the palace in the center of the city to the outside of the city, which is enough to show the size of the city of Millrock. And in such a large area, there is a dense population and a developed business.
On the outskirts of the city, in a wood, Dick and Gold confronted each other.
Gold held a long sword in his hand, and from time to time the tip of the sword would be ejected with arcs, and then the arc would be sucked back into the blade, and then flow to the tip of the sword to eject, and so on.
The wind, blowing awe, brought up a fallen leaf and swirled and fell to the ground. By the time the dead leaves of early autumn fell, the two men in the forest were already at war together!
The two long swords danced brilliantly in the sun, and the light of the fighting spirit was even more dazzling, and the layers of sword curtains shrouded the figures of the two, and there were bursts of blood in the sword curtain from time to time.
With a crisp sound, the two of them exchanged blows, and then their bodies retreated at the same time. Retreating to the place where they had confronted each other, Dick's body was covered with many colors, and the sword-wielding right hand was bleeding, and bursts of fishy sweetness welled up in his throat. Gold, on the other hand, was only slightly torn in his clothes, and was obviously at ease.
Both have done their magic.
"Dark Curse: Sluggish!" Dick snorted, and Gold suddenly fell into a quagmire, losing his agility.
"Thunder Dragonlance!" a spear composed of pure thunder and lightning appeared on Gold's empty left hand. His arm shook slightly, and the spear of lightning flickered like a thunderbolt dragon, flying straight towards Dick.
Dick reached out and pointed at the void, and a dozen dark balls condensed in the air, and a few short syllables came out of his mouth. All the dark flame balls immediately coalesced together in the air, and became taper and elongated, narrowly completing the condensation of the Dark Flame Spear before Gold's Thunder Dragon Lance arrived.
The Dark Flame Spear flew out with Dick's mind, and collided fiercely with Gold's Thunder Dragon Spear in mid-air, with a loud bang, the spear composed of two elements exploded at the same time, and the furious dark element and thunder element raged in the heavens and the earth.
From the smoke and dust caused by the explosion of the two spears, Gold rushed out fiercely and attacked Dick, who flicked his wrist and the dark flames poured out of his hand, swirling around the Nether Sword. Then the two swung their swords again and fought together. It's just that this time Gold was cursed with sluggishness, and his figure was not as flexible as before, so Dick was not too difficult to deal with. But Gold, after all, was an eighth-level magician and warrior, and his strength was five levels higher than Dick's, so it was impossible for Dick to win with the curse of slowness.
During the battle with their swords, both men chanted magical spells. After a brief but intense exchange, the two completed the spell almost simultaneously.
"Daredevil Wings!" Dick's body burst into a cloud of black light, and a hideous demon with dark ribs and wings stood in the darkness. The Daredevil stretched his wings to the fullest, protecting Dick's chest and back.
"Thunder Break!" Countless blue-purple arcs burst out from Gold's left palm, flickering, jumping, roaring, and finally condensed into a fist-sized ball of electric light, and with a wave of Gold's hand, this thunder shot towards Dick.
After a loud boom and a violent explosion, the night demon lost one of his wings, but Dick was unharmed.
Gold's brow furrowed, this time he didn't launch another melee attack on Dick, because he was under the curse of slowness and could no longer suppress Dick in martial arts, so he stood still and silently recited the incantation, and Dick was happy to do the same. The two of them were separated by a few meters and each chanted a spell.
Gold was the first to complete his spell: "Thunder Dragon Descends to Dust!"
The sky suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds that poured out of thin air obscured the sunlight, and the dark clouds rolled and surged, like an upside-down black ocean, and bursts of electric light flickered and jumped in the dark clouds, illuminating this dim shijie. Suddenly, a thunderbolt with countless branches slashed down, like a thunder dragon swimming down the world!
The thunderbolt struck Dick without any suspense, and the other wing of the night demon only lasted for a moment before collapsing, and the night demon who had lost his wings turned into a dark element and returned to heaven and earth. And although the power of the thunder and lightning has been greatly reduced, it has not disappeared, and it is still slashed at Dick's head!
In desperation, Dick raised the Nether Demon Sword, which burned with dark flames, and met the falling lightning. There was another loud bang, and after the thunder, Dick's whole body was burned black, his hair stood on end, and even puffs of green smoke came out of his mouth and nose. It looks like it's embarrassing to the extreme. However, under the first gear of the Netherworld Demon Sword, he was not too seriously injured.
At this time, the incantation that Dick recited had also been completed, and it was a magic he had never used before: "Dimensional Slash!"
The space in front of Dick twisted and folded, and Zuihou shattered like glass, and a crescent-shaped spatial blade was formed, shooting towards Gold in front of him.
After reaching the level 3 magician, Dick was finally able to use the first attack magic in the space-time magic, which was the "Dimensional Slash" he performed at this moment!
Looking at the spatial distortion and fragmentation caused by the spatial blade shooting all the way, Gold was shocked, he waved his long sword again and again, and the powerful fighting qi of the thunder attribute erupted, forming a meniscus-shaped fighting qi blade to meet it, and at the same time, he also instantly launched thunder magic, hoping to destroy this dimensional slash.
But all his efforts were useless, the spatial rift formed by the dimensional slash absorbed almost all of his attacks, and the little power left only slightly weakened the power of the dimensional slash.
In desperation, Gold could only raise his long sword in front of him like Dick. But it's a pity that the Liliang of the Dimensional Slash is no less than the "Thunder Dragon Dust", but he doesn't have defensive magic like Dick's Night Demon Wings, and the long sword in his hand is not as strong as Dick's magic sword Netherworld.
There was a tooth-aching click, and Dimension slashed off Gold's sword, and his figure was thrown out in the blood spurt.
Dick secretly screamed terrible, the power of the magic of the dimensional slash was far beyond his imagination, he didn't expect the attack formed by the spatial fragmentation to be so terrifying.
Dick immediately ran to the place where Gold fell to the ground, and Gold was already unconscious, but to Dick's relief, although Gold's long sword was broken, it also canceled out most of the attack power of the dimensional slash, and Gold only had a deep wound on his chest.
Dick immediately treated Gold's wounds, during which time he awoke from a coma.
"I'm sorry I broke your sword. Dick said apologetically. At the same time he held out his hand to Gold.
Gold grabbed Dick's hand and stood up, and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to feel guilty about anyone who is not as good as others." He thought for a moment and said, "Since I lost to you, I will naturally fulfill my promise." It just so happens that my fiefdom is also within your province of Otto, and from this day, within a year, you will be the object of my allegiance. ”
"Well," Dick laughed, "I'll order you to heal your wounds first, and then do as I call you." ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
Dick and Gold then returned to Millrock, where Gold and Dick parted ways at the city gates, and Gold went to find a hospital to heal his wounds, while Dick went to the Earl's Court, which was given to him by King Edward VII.
The location of the Earl's Court had been told to Dick. Dick casually asked a few passers-by for directions, and found the location of his mansion.
When Dick arrived at the door of his mansion, he was startled by the large crowd surrounding the door. A group of richly dressed men, many of whom Dick had seen in the great hall of Edward VII this morning, were gathered at the door of his mansion. Dozens of richly decorated carriages were parked aside.
An old man dressed as a butler was standing at the door of the mansion, anxiously explaining to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, please believe that Lord Earl Dick really has never been here, as for the reason...... That's not something I can understand. But the people gathered at the door clearly did not believe what the old man said. This can be seen in their expressions and their still refusal to disperse.
Dick already knew what was going on, and a smile appeared on his face, and then he walked over and said, "May I ask what the adults are gathered at the gate of the Xiaguan's mansion?"
Everyone's eyes all looked at Dick, and several of the most richly dressed officials came out in row, and said with a smile: "I heard that when Lord Earl first arrived in the imperial capital, we all came to visit you. ”
In the face of these people, Dick did not dare to slack off, they were either feudal officials, or in high positions, or famous generals in the empire, in terms of status and status, they were all much more noble than their own little earl. The reason why I took the initiative to visit me was simply because the winners of the previous survival competitions would be courted and valued by the royal family. In order to develop in the imperial capital in the future, Dick also had to entertain them well.
Dick smiled and said, "It's really Dick's honor to be so appreciative of your face, and Dick should have gone to your mansion to pay a visit, but I just had some personal matters to deal with, so I didn't have time." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Everyone was polite, but judging by the smiles on their faces, Dick's words had an effect.
"Why are you all staying at the door, please come in!" Dick hit the railroad while it was hot, "the lower official is going to have a big feast to entertain you today. ”
Everyone immediately entered the mansion with a daxiao.
"Boy, you're a hypocrisy. Dimihera said in Dick's heart.
"Hypocrisy is also a means. Dick said lightly.
