About two hundred people stood on the bald turf at the gate. The ballast stood with his back to the gate, while Serian stood with his back to the crowd and Sister Laugh Lines, and the two confronted each other.

Xi Ke trotted to the side of Xiao Ji and watched nervously.

Serian crossed his hands and said, "I promised the villagers to be demolished for ten years, and if this is what he said, it should be done!"

He crossed his hand on his chest and said, "The decree should be made at the right time, and the time is far away!"

Xi Ke just arrived later, and the conversation between the two men had evolved to the point where it didn't resemble the language of this era. All the protesters were at a loss.

"Breaking his word and getting fat, should this powerful man be?"

"Even as a knight, I will not be insulted by you!"

Rick interjected, "Everyone's not understanding, can you make it simpler?"

Seren said, "I am telling the truth, and if you want me to take it back, you will fight me in a duel!"

The timing of the Chick interjection was terrible. Serian uttered the vernacular version of the duel declaration, and the protesters burst back to their senses and cheered.

Seren shouted, "Spears, swords, axes, weapons of your choice!"

"Good! I'll accept your challenge!" Xiao Zhen narrowed his eyebrows and took a step forward. Rick immediately grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back to the gate, then pulled the ballast and turned around, the two of them facing away from the crowd.

Nick hooked his arm around Xiao Zhen's neck and whispered. "You're a paladin, he's a paladin, I don't even want to fight him, and fighting him alone is just death!"

"My mind is normal, don't worry. I wanted to kill him for a long time. Xiao Zhen exhaled vigorously with each word, strengthening the tone.

"Huh?"

"I feel like I'm repulsive when I see him, can you understand that?

Xi Ke shook his head suspiciously, "I don't meet the same kind of people so easily, I can't understand it. Anyway, you go and cancel the duel, the mage can't beat that guy!"

"I'm not a mage. Xiao Zhen frowned, and said suddenly.

"Ahh

"I'm not a ghost. Xiao Zhen looked at Xi Ke steadily, and smiled wryly, "I'm not that kind of thing. 」

"You're not human, are you?"

"Even you say I'm not human?" Xiao Xuan's eyes rolled, "It's a lot of people who say I'm not human and have no heart, but I didn't expect to hear this kind of statement even here." When did I frame you? No, don't tell me, I don't want to lose sleep at night because of my conscience, or you know. 」

Cheek frowned and was silent for two seconds, then said, "What the hell are you?"

"If you're not asking a big question like 'What kind of existence are human beings?' I can answer you: I am a lawyer, not a lawyer. 」

Nick was silent again, this time five seconds before he spoke, "But you're working in the fourth incinerator. This is a mage unit, and the staff are all mages.

"I've found a loophole in the law. Xiao Zhen blinked, reminding him of what his true specialty was.

"You're wearing mage robes. 」

"That's my dad's, he's a mage. The style of the mage's robe has never changed much. Unlike knights' robes, which are not allowed by law for non-knights, the mage's robes are just a symbol that can be appropriated in the same strange way as the doctor's robes.

Xi Ke rubbed his face, he really hadn't seen Xiao Ji cast a spell, but!

"A lawyer can't beat a paladin!" Rick growled. In addition to his mouth, the lawyer feels even more ineffective, is it difficult to use the Six Laws to smash the other party to death?

"Don't worry. My mom was a knight, and I grew up dueling with her. Xiao Xiao pulled away Rick's arm, turned to Seren, and announced, "I'll choose the 'Dismantling Tool Set' for the weapon!

After saying that, he dragged Xike back to the decomposition room to get the guy. Rick felt that if he continued to grab him by the collar and drag him away like this, his clothes would one day tear in half.

The decomposition room is the territory of the decomposers, and they are most comfortable here. The murder weapons are all at hand, there are no spirits and villagers, Xiao Zhen hummed a song and oiled the saw.

Syk sorted out his set of tools, ready to wait for Seren.

Duels are a fairly old folk tradition in the country, and there are countless dialects to call the act, ranging from vulgar to noble usage. The law does not recognize the legitimacy of duels, and casualties in duels are still punished by law, but men often don't know when to stop when they are excited about dueling, although the consensus of duelists is that it is enough to fight until one side surrenders, and there are still cases of people killing people from time to time.

Xi Ke was really worried that Xiao Ballast would be cut in two, and he was so worried that he wanted to do something on the tool set. But he was worried that Xiao Zhen's father was a mage, his mother was a knight, and he didn't know how his martial arts were, and if he moved his hands and feet and became Serian and was cut in two, it would not be good. He thought about bringing a few more pieces of meat and waiting on the sidelines, if someone had a broken stomach, he could immediately cast a spell to treat it, although it was a waste of ingredients, but there was no way.

He squatted next to the sorting box, re-unclogging the hydraulic shear pipeline, and the spirit in the sorting box chatted with him: "Why are you suffering from a face?"

"If you're like me, you're going to have no place to live, and two people you know are going to kill each other, you don't look like you're going to be much happier. Nick said as he checked the screws. He usually attaches great importance to maintenance, but there is nothing to tidy up.

"There's someone who can stop this, and he can do it here. Sure, heck, we're not going to let him stop us from demolishing your house, but if it's just that thing, he'll be able to help. 」

"Who?" asked Ricke. He is now sick and rushed to the doctor.

"The core of the incinerator, the original guardian of this place. 」

Nick put down the hydraulic shears in his hand. Xiao Ballast is a human being, not a ghost, and it will not be the core of an incinerator. The weird-headed thief once helped the queen steal the sacrificial knife of Xike, and he is the queen's puppet, so it will not be the core of the incinerator. So who's the core of the incinerator, and who's the extra employee?

After thinking for a while, Rick walked out of the decomposition room, closed the door, and whispered into the empty hallway, "Are you there, old sir?"

Little by little, flashes of light appeared in the air, like tiny fireworks. The points of light disappear and reappear, more and more frequently, outlining the silhouette of a person. When the points of light are so dense that you can't see the scenery behind them, they come together to form an entity. The old man with the treant appeared in front of Xi Ke. This is certainly not the effect of portals.

"You seem to understand some truths. The old man took a step towards Rick. He shook the sleeve that was still partially light, and made up for what Zuihou lacked. Now he looked like a completely human old man, with nothing suspicious other than resembling a dryant.

Rick looked down at the old dryad and said, "You are the core of the incinerator. 」

The old man raised the large wrinkle on his forehead and opened his eyes full of light to Xi Ke, "Yes. I'm the original member here. I am the essence of Archmage Cha Laguni Manson Gurismola Megik Sayvernon. When this place was built, he was already very old. He knew he wouldn't have enough time to guard the place until the furnace, so he left me behind. But he didn't expect that he would live longer than he expected, and that the place would be running for a long, long time longer than it was originally designed. The old man dant gestured with his chin to the door of the decomposition chamber, and the little man was still busy inside. The old tree spirit said, "His descendants came here many years later to find the trajectory of his grandfather's life. 」

Thinking of Xiao Zhen and Naimo's previous performances, Xi Ke frowned and said, "I don't think there's anything funny about you. 」

"Thanks for lifting up. The old dryad grinned, revealing the dentures in his mouth.

"My friends are going to duel, can you stop them?" asked Ricke.

"I'll try as much as I can. The old man nodded and said.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When it was time for the duel to be haode, a large number of spectators had come to the bald turf to hear the news.

Xi Ke and Xiao Ballast walked out with a pair of decomposition tool sets. Xi Ke also brought several extra bags of meat and barbecue utensils, and stood by under the pretext of eating and watching.

Serian and Xiao Ballast are considered celebrities, so they follow the standard procedure when dueling. The two sides first wrote a disclaimer at the table, stating that they were willing to duel, waive the right to legal prosecution no matter what injury or even death, and asked relatives and friends not to resent each other. This statement is legally invalid and symbolic. This is also a chance for Zuihou to give up the duel without losing face. Duellists can take advantage of the words they write to their relatives and friends, and give in on the excuse that they still have social responsibilities and cannot take risks for their relatives. The other side can use the reason that the other party can't duel with him because of someone else, and it is not a lack of courage, to give the other party a step.

While Xiao Zhen and Seren were writing and signing, Xi Ke set up a barbecue grill and lit charcoal with a sacrificial knife breathing fire. This type of ignition drew applause from the young people and demanded to do it again.

The dueling parties then handed their weapons to each other to inspect to make sure they were not hiding anything that wasn't supposed to be there. It took quite a while. During this time, the first batch of meat had been roasted and eaten. The smell of meat was overflowing, and the people were hungry when they smelled it, and they couldn't help but take money to ask Xike to sell barbecue meat for them to eat.

Seren and Ballast swapped weapons a second time to check which one they were going to use. By the time they finished checking, the onlookers had already had a skewer of barbecue, and there was an extra pile of cash in Xike's pocket.

The man who had been temporarily arrested to be the host read the transcript of the speech: "For honor and justice, the duel will begin when this coin lands!" He threw a silver coin into the air.

The moment the silver coin landed, Xiao Ballast drew the saw and nail gun at lightning speed. He holds the saw in both hands and clasps the nail gun with two fingers and does not use it. His thumb pressed the safety button of the saw, and his index finger pressed down the start button, and the saw made a "chirping" sound, and the saw blade rotated at high speed.

Serenie learns from him to take out the saw, but he is not familiar with this thing and will not activate it. He took out the hydraulic shears again, which had to be connected to the power engine before it could be useful.

Xiao Ballast grinned and swung the saw. Seren's use of a chain saw that doesn't activate. Sparks splashed, and Seren's saw blade broke and flew out, stuck in the dirt.

Taking advantage of the victory, Xiao Ballast chased after him, raised the refining saw and swung it vertically. Seren's right hand picked up the hammer and struck the saw from the side to make it deviate from its original direction, causing it to slash directly to the ground without touching Seren. At the same time, Serian threw away the hydraulic scissors and pulled out the bone chopping knife, which he would always use!

Xiao Ballast missed, rushed forward, opened the distance, and turned to face Seren again.

The saw is against a hammer and a bone chopping knife, similar to a battle axe against two short knives in both hands, and the control of distance will determine the victory.

This time it was Seren's active attack. The big hammer was raised in front of his eyes and rushed towards the small ballast. Xiao Ballast waited a quarter of a second more for Seren to speed up, and after it was difficult to change direction, he split the saw.

Serian knocked the side of the saw with a big hammer, and this time the saw narrowly brushed Seren's shoulder, his clothes were torn, and the edges were slightly red!

Rick pinched his face with nervousness.

Serian rushed to the vicinity of Xiao Ballast, and the bone chopping knife slashed towards Xiao Ballast's waist, and Xiao Ballast rushed directly into Seren's arms and flashed the blade. Xiao Ballast let go of the hand that was gripping the front grip of the saw, grabbed the nail gun and stabbed Seren's neck!

Serian reacted very quickly, and he had already reacted when Xiao Ballast was advancing, and he raised his kick to kick Xiao Ballast out. The little ballast saw out of his hand and spun out, splitting the empty bottle on the ground in half.

Now that the two had swapped places, Xiao Ballast pulled out a round chainsaw from Rick's toolbox. Both sides used short weapons and were wounded. Seren's left shoulder was bleeding, and Xiao Zhen suffered internal injuries to his chest and abdomen.

The chainsaw buzzed. After a round of fighting, no one was going to throw in the towel. Both sides raised their weapons, ready to disassemble and dismantle each other.

Ballast and Serian started at the same time and rushed forward.

Xi Ke didn't dare to look at it, so he covered his eyes with his hands, but he felt that if he didn't look, someone would be injured and he would cast spells slowly, so he peeked through his fingers. As a result, he saw both of them slam into a wall that could not be seen. After two loud noises that occurred almost simultaneously, Seren stepped back with his elbows clutched. Xiao Jiao's chainsaw couldn't hold it and fell to the ground, he touched his sprained wrist, and stared suspiciously at the seemingly unobstructed ahead.

The old man walked out of the door. Instead, he took the sparse bamboo broom he used in his work, dragged his feet, walked to the bald grass and stood still, and said, "For the sake of the old man's face, both of them stop!"

"This is a battle of honor, please don't stop it!" Seren lowered his hands and relaxed his stance slightly, but still held a large hammer and a bone cleaver.

The old man pointed his broom at Seren, and scolded, "What honor? Can honor feed a child? Or can it cure diseases? If not, then it is nothing great! Knights fight to protect lives, not to be used in boring places!"

"It's our decision!" said Xiao Xuan. He picked up the round chainsaw, but turned the switch off.

The old man turned to Xiao Zhen and scolded, "It's not that you're an adult! Obviously you're still a little ghost! How much did the country pay for cultivating you? You plan to make it all in vain with the phrase 'your own decision'? You can decide your own behavior - yes, but this decision is out of naivety!"

The old man of the tree spirit scolded in a series of ways: "You will think that this kind of wasted life is great, it means that you have not seen enough! Do you think that life is simple? How many people want to live but can't live-"

Xiao Zhen lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the old tree spirit. As such, he noticed the vest worn by the old man with the words "Fourth Incinerator" written on it. He looked up in surprise and asked, "Who are you? I haven't seen you here." 」

"I'm a Guardian. The old man turned to Rick. Xi Ke was handing over money and meat with the people, and it took him a second to realize that the old man was looking at him, and quickly turned his head.

"I've done what you asked me to do. You know where I am, I've shown it to you. The old man said. The wrinkles on his body seemed to grow more and more, as if they could crush him: "I don't have the power to stop the soulless existence anymore. The final survival of this place is up to you to decide. Zuihou I saw it, and soon, those people were coming. 」

The point of light in the old tree's eyes floated out, and his body, along with the broom, slowly disintegrated into a point of light, starting to disappear from his feet.

"Rick Trigg, a mage who crawled out of the dark abyss. You have already had a wonderful experience that ordinary people can't reach in their lifetime, but you're not halfway through your life. I can see that you're going to frighten this self-righteous shijie even more. The old man said, "Everyone is looking for their ideal genius, but you are a genius beyond anyone's imagination. So, no one realizes how good you are, and no one understands that you are exactly what they need.

"I hope you won't be defeated by the pressures of reality. I hope that in the future that I can't see, you will find someone who understands your value, and I hope that you will show your vitality and make this shijie insight truly powerful.

"Now is the moment I've been waiting for, I'm officially retiring. Even the old dryad's smiling face turned into a point of light and disappeared into the air. A few points of light from zuihou also fell into the soil and went out.

No one could speak. The audience was silent.

"Duel, are you still fighting?" asked Seren, tilting his head. The invisible wall vanished along with the old dryad.

Xiao Zhen bit his lower lip and didn't speak.

Xi Ke sincerely hopes that the intervention of the old man who has just done it will be effective. Just give up!

At this time, there was a commotion among the crowd, and a whole group of more than forty mages wearing black and gold-trimmed uniform mage robes lined up the crowd and walked among the three.

"We are the First Intelligence Department of the Demon Court Mages. The mage who took the lead took out a piece of paper. It is a document made from words cut and pasted from newspapers and magazines and photocopied them. He frowned at the three men standing in the center of the crowd: one roasting meat, two dueling. The mage in charge said, "We have received a secret report that the first-class wanted criminal, Norpig Silkon, is attempting to blast the fourth incinerator. We were asked to immediately conduct a full search of the fourth incinerator. He cleared his throat and said, "Do you have any impression of the name of the person who reported it as 'Ferocious Mushroom Essence'?"

"Ahh It's the director of the Mage Practice Administration, who tricked the Staff of Light into moving in this way!

"Do you know who made the report?" The mage in the lead looked at Rick.

Rick changed his words and shouted, "The meat is burnt!"
