Chapter 258: Duel
Zhou Tianci, who was remembered by Lin Lei, had already arrived in the O'Brien Empire at this time. However, Zhou Tianci did not appear immediately.
Valkyrie is the Optimus Prime of the O'Brien Empire, and Blumer becomes his apprentice, and his status in the O'Brien Empire is immediately elevated. The next morning, many nobles who did not normally go to court entered the palace. It was customary for the early emperor Joan to bestow the title on Brumer this time.
Wharton was the earl of O'Brien's empire, and he naturally wanted to go to court. Outside the Hall of Martial Arts, Wharton and Blumer meet. Brummer has a solitary temperament, and his expression speaks of his pride.
"Wharton, I won this time!" Blumer said.
Wharton snorted, dismissive.
Blumer said, "If I win you, my brother will win your brother." I want you to know that the Achisolon family is the greatest family in the Magnolia Continent, and your Baruch family is not as good as us!"
Wharton was furious, and a strong momentum radiated that made Bloomer's face change.
"Bloomer, you don't have to take an inch! Martial God's apprentice, my brother doesn't care, and I don't care! The prestige of our dragon blood family is forged with the bones of countless powerful enemies, and if you want to challenge me, it's not enough! As for your brother, hmph, he became a Sanctuary at the age of forty, what is there to be proud of in front of my brother?"
The conflict between the two attracted the attention of others, but no one stepped forward to dissuade them, but they all watched the show. Today's early dynasty, in addition to the important ministers of the O'Brien Empire, are those nobles. These men were all in the upper echelons of the empire and knew a lot about Wharton and Brummer's background. Not only are these two talented warriors themselves, but their respective brothers are also rare powerhouses. No one wants to intervene in their conflict so as not to offend people.
"What's going on?" Seeing that Wharton and Bloomer were about to make a move, Emperor Joan sent someone over. Although Wharton and Bloomer were angry, the emperor still had to give face.
"Wharton, you wait......" Blummer chuckled and entered the martial arts hall.
Wharton thought of the rumor, and his heart tightened: "Bloomer, what do you want to do? I warn you, if you dare to hit Nina's idea, I will definitely not let you go!"
"Hmph. ”
Early dynasty begins.
Emperor Qiao An sat on the dragon chair and looked down, the martial arts hall seemed a little crowded today, usually there were less than a hundred people in the early dynasty, but today more than eight hundred people came. However, seeing such a scene, Joan was very happy.
"Where's Blumer?" Joan said loudly, there were too many people below, and Joan couldn't find Blumer for a while.
Blummer walked out of the crowd and stood in the center of the hall, he bowed slightly: "I've seen Your Majesty!"
Qiao An nodded with satisfaction, he was no stranger to Brummer, before becoming a disciple of the Martial God, Brummer was already a famous genius warrior in the imperial capital, especially since he had an even more genius brother!
"Very well, the Archeshoron family has produced two geniuses at once. Qiao An praised, "Brummer, you can become a personal disciple of the Martial God, and the emperor is also very happy." Now, the emperor will give you the hereditary title of Marquis, a mansion on Fushi Road, and 100 guards and maids. 100,000 gold coins!"
Wharton listened, his face changed slightly, he was an earl, and now Bloomer had become a marquis, and his status was already higher than him. Wharton didn't care about the ranks, he cared about Bloomer's status over his own.
Blummer said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Emperor is very happy today, Bloomer, you are the first Martial God disciple to be rewarded since the Emperor succeeded to the throne. If you have any other requests, as long as it is reasonable, the emperor will grant you!" Qiao An said with a laugh.
It has been more than 5,000 years since the Martial God established the O'Brien Empire, and he has only accepted twenty-seven personal disciples, with an average of only one in more than 100 years. Therefore, not every emperor of the O'Brien Empire has the opportunity to knight the disciples of the Martial God. In the O'Brien Empire, the status of the disciples of the Martial God is actually higher than that of the emperor, because the emperor will abdicate after a certain number of years, and as long as the Martial God is there, the disciples of the Martial God will always be high. Therefore, Joan attaches great importance to the knighthood of Brummer. Brummer's becoming a sanctuary is a sure thing, and in the future, Joan will abdicate or die, and Brummer will always take care of his descendants in the sense of knighthood.
"Your Majesty, the minister does have another request!" said Blumer. Wharton's face turned blue when he heard this, and what he feared most was probably about to happen!
Joan was even happier, and Bloomer had a request, indicating that he owed him more favors.
"Say it!" Joan said with a proud wave.
"Your Majesty, the minister fell in love with the Seventh Princess at first sight, and I hope that Your Majesty can marry the Seventh Princess to the minister. Blumer bowed, his voice echoing through the Hall of Martial Arts.
When the surrounding nobles and ministers heard this, they all turned their eyes to Wharton. Who in the entire imperial capital didn't know about Wharton and Nina? The seventh princess Nina was not without suitors before, including Zuo Xiang's son Kailan, but they all gave up in the end, just because of the relationship between Nina and Wharton.
In the eyes of many, Wharton and Nina will definitely get married, it's just a matter of time. Now, Blumer openly proposes to Joan, which is tantamount to slapping Wharton in the face!
Many nobles held back a smile in their hearts, they were all waiting to see the conflict between Wharton and Blumer!
"Brummer, you're looking for death!" Wharton tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't. He let out a loud shout, startling Emperor Joan.
Blumer glanced at Wharton, and that look irritated Wharton.
"Boom!" Wharton took a step forward, and the ground in the area centered on him became fragmented. When the others saw it, they hurriedly dodged away.
"Wharton, what do you want to do?" said Joan, who had meant to promise Bloomer. Joan knew about Wharton and Nina, but Blumer had a clear higher status in his heart than Wharton. The marriages of royal princes and princesses are almost always out of political necessity. Now Joan sacrifices the relationship between Nina and Wharton in order to win over Brummer, which is quite normal.
What Joan didn't expect was that Wharton would break out in the early dynasty!
Wharton wouldn't have been like this, he wasn't so grumpy. It was only since yesterday that he had heard that Blumer would do it. This accumulation of worry and anger, combined with the conflict with Blumer in the early days, all of which made Wharton a little out of sorts.
Brummer was happy, he didn't expect his plan to go so well. To be exact, the situation has exceeded his expectations!
"Sure enough, the so-called dragon blood family is just a group of brainless people who rely on talent, Wharton is like this, and his eldest brother Lin Lei should be the same. How can they compare to my brother!"
"Your Majesty, the minister and the seventh princess are in love, today, the minister asks Your Majesty to marry us!" Wharton came to his senses, hurriedly bowed to Qiao An, and said earnestly.
Joan's face softened a little, and she began to consider Wharton's request.
"Wharton is a little worse than Brummer, but his brother Lyre is a little bit better than Olivia. If Nina marries Wharton, that's also a good thing. ”
Brummer said: "Your Majesty, in terms of strength, the minister is stronger than the Count of Baruch, and in terms of status, the minister is higher than the Count of Baruch. Moreover, it is also the first relatives of the minister to mention to the seventh princess. As long as Your Majesty agrees to the marriage of the minister and the Seventh Princess, the minister will definitely die for Your Majesty!"
Joan's eyes lit up, and Bloomer was openly showing her loyalty to him. If he can really gain Brummer's loyalty, he will be able to gain the support of other Martial God disciples, which Wharton can't give!
"Brummer, you say you're stronger than me?" Wharton had been in the O'Brien Empire for so many years, and he couldn't see Joan's mind. He quickly interrupted Joan's thoughts and took aim at Brummer.
"Why, you're not convinced?" Blummer chuckled, "The fact that the teacher finally took me as an apprentice shows that not only am I better than you, but I am also more talented than you." ”
"Okay, then let's have a try!" Wharton exclaimed, "Do you dare?"
Others listened to Wharton's advice and agreed. The O'Brien Empire was martial and often had masters in duels. Moreover, duels were also one of the ways to resolve disputes among the nobility.
How could Brummer throw in the towel?
"Do you want to compete, okay, I'll fulfill you!" Three days later, we had a duel in the martial arts arena, and this duel was presided over by His Majesty and the senior brothers of the Martial Gods!"
"Okay!" Wharton agreed, "If you lose, you are not allowed to be delusional about the Seventh Princess in the future." ”
"If you lose, I want you to admit that the Baruch family is inferior to the Achisolon family!"
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief. Wharton and Bloomer are not strong, but they each have the support of the Sanctuary, and if they really want to make trouble, he will be very embarrassed.
After the end of the early dynasty, news of the duel between Wharton and Brummer soon spread throughout the imperial capital. Both of them are stars in the imperial capital, and they are competing for the Seventh Princess, so the bloody duel is very eye-catching.
For the next three days, neither Wharton nor Blumer showed up, preparing for a duel. In order to be able to win, Lin Lei and Olivia are training their younger brothers.
"Lin Lei's younger brother Wharton has also grown so big, and he is still fighting with others because of jealousy, hehe. When Zhou Tianci heard the news, he immediately thought of what Wharton looked like when he was a child. When Lin Lei left home, Wharton was only two years old and still very cute. In a blink of an eye, he reached the age of starting a family.
"After all, Blumer is a disciple of the Martial God, and the Martial God will definitely support him. However, with me, how can I let someone else bully Wharton?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianci changed his plan. He knew that Lin Lei needed his support at this time. That evening, Zhou Tianci came to the palace of the Counts of Baruch.
"Stop, who are you?" The guards of the Earl's Palace stopped Zhou Tianci, Zhou Tianci glanced at them with a smile, and these people immediately stood still. Then, Zhou Tianci walked into the Earl's Court in a grand manner. After he left, the guards came to their senses, but they forgot what had just happened, and they didn't remember anyone entering the Earl's Court.
"Lin Lei, long time no see. Zhou Tianci walked directly to the backyard of the Earl's Palace, where Lin Lei was giving Wharton special training.
