Chapter 65: The Long Night (Four Thousand)
The current Kyleus, because of Kurol's provocation just now, has turned back to his usual professional magician mentality, cold and resolute, and the decision will be done very firmly, and will not be terminated at will at will because of external reasons.
As a magician, if you don't have this mentality, you will never go far on the long and dangerous road of magic. The day-to-day boring magic connections, the magic experiments that do not tolerate the slightest difference, the research and discovery of magic theories that are considered heretical by the world, and the unique understanding of the natural world and the material plane have created the cold and paranoid hearts of magicians.
As a clergyman who studies magic in the Church of the Lord of Order, Kylelius needs to switch between the two mentalities of magician and cleric at any time, and now Kylelius is on the magician's side of mind.
Since the duel was promised, it was going to be fought to the end, and there was no possibility of losing for Kylelius.
In any case, in any case, now because Kylelius was unwilling to postpone the duel, Kurol was completely on the wax.
If he loses in a duel event that is sure to win in the eyes of other nobles, such as 'Martial Arts on the Horse', no, even if it just looks comparable, Kurol's face as a nobleman will be lost. After that, he would become a daxiao handle among the nobles of Banji and even the Fort Cyprus area, and become the gossip of others before and after dinner.
And if he wants to easily win against Kyllius, who is extremely physical, at least according to the information that Kurol has obtained, the difficulty of completing this task is really huge for him. Although he still doesn't think he's going to lose, it's not a good thing for him to win too ugly.
However, since Kyrlius did not accept the 'step' of the duel's postponement, then Culol could only take the duel head-on, and the subsequent development of events was beyond Cullor's control.
'Leave it to fate. Try out the melee abilities that His Excellency Priest admires in his intelligence. Kurol thought helplessly, and thought of a bright excuse to comfort himself in the current bad situation.
The duel was held, not subject to the will of Kurol, and began in accordance with the regulations.
The two sides of the duel, along with Baron Londello and the crowd of guests, went to a horse farm on the side of the Earl's Manor, which had a dedicated 'horse show' and a number of other noble dueling venues.
At this time, everything was prepared on the field, three referees, four horses that were very good even to the layman, and a pair of racks and knight squires with special wooden knight guns at each end of the field.
Originally, the knight squires should have been brought by the two sides of the duel themselves or personally selected, but because there was a non-Lanslot clergy on both sides of the duel to participate, for the sake of fairness, the knight squires were provided by the family of Earl Stell, who was the host.
In fact, it doesn't matter, the knight squire in 'Horse Martial Arts' only has to do the simple work of inspecting the knight's horses, armor and weapons, as long as you have a certain amount of knightly knowledge, you can do it.
Kyrlius and Kurol each led the two horses to the opposite end of the field. With the help of the knight's squire, he put on the cumbersome knight's armor, mounted his horse, took the knight's spear from the squire, and sat on the horse and waited for the referee's start signal.
"Guys, I'm the referee for this duel. It is a great honor to have the honor of overseeing two noble lords here today to hold this sacred duel. ”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man of about thirty or forty years old, wearing a black uniform, who was the chief officer of the three judges invited by the Earl's Court today, and was responsible for judging the scores. The other two are responsible for monitoring whether the two sides are cheating.
Then the referee loudly explained the rules of the duel, and although everyone knew it, he had to explain it as usual. Just in case, there is a hillbilly from the remote countryside who really doesn't know this.
"Well, now that both sides understand the rules of the duel. Well, I declare, the duel ...... Let's go!" the referee said that he had memorized the introduction of the rules that he was about to vomit, and both sides said that they understood. He occupies the center of the arena and announces the beginning of the duel.
As the flag symbolizing the race signal in the referee's hand was waved down with force, the two horses provided by the Earl's Court violently exerted force, carrying the two knights on their backs, and began to charge.
"Bang!" The sound of the knight's spear hitting the armor continued to echo in the open field, making the surrounding nobles also look enthusiastic.
Unexpectedly, the duel ended quickly.
The outcome of the duel, needless to say, was destined to be the victory of the vampire Kyrlius in such a game in which physical fitness was almost a matter of physical victory, and in an almost complete victory over Baron Cullor.
'Shoot down the feather ornament', shoot down the feather ornament on the opponent's helmet, regardless of the score and score difference between the two sides, the downer wins, and the downed person directly loses.
And Kyrlius, after being hit twice by Baron Cullor, won a big victory in the first game with his superhuman reflexes and dynamic shili to directly knock down the feather ornament on the baron's helmet.
Although the huge score difference made the baron's face a little ugly, it was obviously a rare leniency for the current Kyleus. You must know that even if you can't use magic in a duel, just by relying on your physical abilities as a vampire, the priest can kill Kurol by surprise.
Culol offended Kellus, but Kellius did not assassinate the killer in the duel, and did not even embarrass Cullor, but left him a trace of decency.
This is entirely due to the fact that Kyrlius has not yet fully returned to the paranoia that characterizes magicians and will do whatever it takes to achieve their ends.
He knew that in this kind of aristocratic banquet, even if he won, he could only win generously, and he must not make obvious malicious retaliation, otherwise he would not be able to mix in the aristocratic circle.
Everyone will alienate you intentionally or unintentionally, which is also people's self-preservation subconscious is at work, no one knows when they will offend you for various reasons, and it is not good if you also maliciously retaliate against them like this.
"I declare that in this duel, the winner is ...... Kylelius acts as Lord the Cardinal. With the final decision of the referee, it was announced that Kylelius had won the final victory.
Although this kind of aristocratic duel, and there is no duel with a lot of color, even if it is won, there is nothing to rejoice. It was also mentioned earlier. Kellius was a complete pragmatist, and had no interest in this kind of triumph that had no practical interest at all, and at best had some intangible prestige.
But the VIPs around him obviously don't think so.
"Congratulations, congratulations! I can't imagine that His Excellency the Venerable Bishop of Kyrlius has such a deep accomplishment in the aristocratic duel project of 'Horse Martial Arts', which really impresses me. It is worthy of the elite of the Church, worthy of the high feet of His Excellency Cardinal Julian White. ”
It was the fat Baron de Rondereaux, who spoke, with a hint of surprise on his round face full of enthusiastic smiles. He didn't expect Kylelius to win at all, and it was such an indisputable victory, and McEl could naturally see that Kyrlius had deliberately put some water on purpose just now to save enough face for Baron Cullor.
At the same time, he also thought that Kyrlius had such a sleek way of dealing with people at a young age, not at all like a new clergyman who had just stepped out of the ivory tower for less than three months, but like a middle-aged aristocrat who had been in the world for a long time.
For the first time, McEl had the idea of wooing and entrapping him. Before, Baron McEl's purpose was only to fight against the disobedient alien shili, that is, Baron Cullor, and helping Kylelius was just incidental. The previous polite address to him was one-third out of the intention to target Kurol, one-third out of the maintenance of the polite image of the nobles, and the remaining one-third out of respect and fear for Lord Julian.
As the de facto ruler of Fort Cyprus, there was no need for him to personally recruit a rookie priest in the countryside, even if he was the chief student of the Whitecoat of the Church of the Lords of Order.
This is a scheming young man, with maturity and ambition that does not match his appearance, but at the same time he has outstanding talent and hard work, and a large enough background, he is destined for a bright and brilliant future.
It's a pity that I don't have a daughter old enough, and I was preempted by the old fox of Stell, and sure enough, that old fox should not be underestimated. ’
Thinking so in his heart, Baron Rondello still maintained a smiling face, quietly becoming more friendly and respectful to Kyleus, and by the way, he openly patted Bishop Julian's ass.
Winning a duel of nobles, does it have anything to do with the clergy of Julian Whitecoat?
Of course, Kylelius won't really complain, after all, others have given him enough face and praised his teacher, even if it is explicit, and Bishop Julian is not short of this ** fart. But as a disciple and subordinate, Kyrlius could never refute or reject such meaningless compliments and compliments.
"yes, yes. Famous teachers make high-level apprentices, and they really deserve to be His Excellency Bishop Julian. ”
"Kyrlius is indeed the elite of the church, and the future of the cause of Bixia, the Lord of Order, will depend on talents like Your Excellency to develop. ”
......
The surrounding aristocratic guests were naturally quick to see the opportunity, and they all reflected it, and all kinds of compliments and compliments to Bishop Julian and Kylelius himself were thrown over as if they didn't want money. As for the purpose, it is nothing more than to show favor to His Excellency the Bishop of the region, or to make friends with the potential newcomer of Kylelius.
Kylelius also stood there, smiling and accepting all kinds of compliments, some of which were really explicit and inappropriate, but Kylelius could only take it, and by the way, he had to praise each other with these guys.
There were even a few young and beautiful ladies and celebrities who were scantily clad and took the opportunity of speaking and complimenting to stick to Kyleus's side, touching Kylelius intentionally or unintentionally with their plump and hot graceful bodies, with a seductive spring expression, seducing Kyleus, trying to provoke the priest's heart to have a wonderful night.
Kellius naturally felt these refreshing temptations, but Kellius did not express any clear expression, neither actively catering nor deliberately avoiding them. He knew what these women meant, and after this kind of aristocratic duel that relied on physical force, the winner would generally be enthusiastically pursued by many of the women present.
Whether it is a courtesan and a noble girl, or a wealthy lady and a deep resentful woman, most of them will chase this strong victory lion.
Among them, some of them were instructed by the family to win over such strong people through physical approach.
Although this type of aristocratic duel does not use magic and skill, the strength of physical ability is equal to the strength of the class level, and this equation is fully true in knight and warrior classes. The higher the professional level, the more effective the training of their bodies through magic power, and most of the people who participate in this kind of duel are knights and warriors, and the strong physical fitness is naturally the one with the higher professional level.
There are also pure people who want to relieve loneliness, want to find a strong man to indulge for one night, and then do not need to be responsible, that is, it is equivalent to those 'lonely noblewomen looking for a night and love' in another plane.
Generally, most of this kind of women are the kind of noble ladies who are widowed or whose husband's title is not as high as that of a woman, and this kind of woman has no scruples, and there is no shili restriction of her own family or the man's family. But most of them have already tasted the taste of men, and most of them are thirty or forty years old, and it is when they can't bear the loneliness like a wolf and a tiger, and they like to be accompanied by strong men.
And this kind of woman is also the favorite type of strong professionals who like to have fun. At the mature age, he has mastered all kinds of methods of currying favor and serving men, and his mature body is not comparable to those young girls.
Coupled with their noble status and innumerable wealth, and even their envious networks, these were things that were desperately needed by the young professionals, and were an important means for the lower nobles and their heirs to rise to the upper echelons.
At this time, there were both situations around Kyleus, both young and energetic graceful girls, and hot, mature and ladies.
'Looks like tonight is going to be a wonderful sleepless night. While communicating with the nobles and gentry around him, mainly with Baron Rondelloe, of course, he felt the soft and fiery touch that came from time to time around him, and indulged in it.
Of course, even if it is a loser, there are some guys who are keen on speculation who go back to show favor and woo, not to mention that Baron Culol can be regarded as young and promising, and he has a high position. At this time, he was surrounded by some nobles and gentry, and there were also a few noble ladies and ladies who leaned on him to speak.
And Kurol also did not refuse to come, chatting and laughing with those gentlemen gracefully, and occasionally making a few funny jokes, which caused a burst of laughter, not at all like a loser after a fiasco just now. If you don't look at the number of people around, most people will think that Culol is the victor and Kellius is the loser, and Kellius is still far inferior to Cullor, a model of nobility, in terms of communication.
