Chapter 13: Miss Elena's Challenge
The afternoon auction goes the same way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that the items auctioned are obviously a notch higher than those in the morning, and the price has also increased several times.
The competition of everyone gradually became white-hot, and even the earls in the front row took turns to bid for the price, and the numbers in units of 100,000 rose one after another, the scene was fierce, and everyone quarreled.
Only the private room upstairs was still silent, and there was no competition for the field.
But under such fierce bidding, Miss Sophie still won most of the martial arts cheats auction with amazing financial resources.
Seeing that Miss Sophie once again spent 330,000 gold francs to shoot the door-level knife technique, d'Artagnan couldn't help but feel very big.
"What are you buying so many martial arts cheats for? This is meaningless, no matter how good martial arts are, people have to practice, what's the use of you buying so many low-level martial arts? Why don't you just wait for the evening to buy a better one? I heard that there is even a peerless martial art at night, and you can now spend so much money to grab those people upstairs at night?" D'Artagnan repeatedly admonished.
"You don't have to worry about this, I naturally have a plan in my heart. Miss Sophie ignored her, insisted on her opinion, and once again joined the fierce offer.
The hall was empty, and every offerer would be seen and recognized by everyone, and Miss Sophie's strange behavior certainly attracted a lot of discussion, and many laughed at it:
"Is this Marceau's family crazy?
"This beautiful young lady of the Marceau family is really crazy, according to her nonsense, the Marceau family must not give her a ruin?"
"It's not going to be defeated, this Marceau family is not one of those ordinary counts. ”
"Yes, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the foundation is thick, so you can still get the money. ”
"Why did she rob all martial arts, this sword technique is obviously used by our men, what is he doing when a woman snatches it. ”
"It's crazy, it's crazy to be at such a high price, I really think I have a lot of money. ”
"Ah, ah, ah, let me this bow technique, count it as selling my old man's face, count me as owing you a personal favor, okay?"
......
The afternoon auction ended and the dinner in the hall began.
Miss Sophie was still alone in the corner, alone with a small snack and eating slowly. From time to time, someone peeked over and whispered something.
D'Artagnan was not staying with her, he was apologizing to a handsome girl sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall: "Miss Elena, I can see that you are a very good girl. But I really already have a sweetheart, so I can't accept your affection in actual combat. Here I apologize to you again, I'm sorry. ”
The faint smile on Miss Elena's face disappeared at once, and she lowered her head so that the expression on her face could not be seen, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
D'Artagnan didn't dare to look at her at all at this time: "If there is nothing to do, allow me to take my leave first, and greet the Grand Duke of Holley on my behalf." ”
He turned and was about to leave, when Miss Elena's small voice came from behind him: "I've always liked Lord d'Artagnan......"
"What?" d'Artagnan didn't hear clearly, so he turned back and asked.
"I've always been fond of Lord d'Artagnan, though he may never have noticed me. Actually, I've been trying, I've been trying......" Miss Elena's voice was still very soft and soft.
"Effort, effort, what?" d'Artagnan was a little puzzled, and he was too embarrassed to run away.
"I've been working hard!" Miss Elena's voice grew louder.
"I'm trying to be someone worthy of you!" Miss Elena slammed to her feet, bursting with an astonishing momentum.
Then she ignored the stunned D'Artaglion, and ignored the stares of the people in the banquet hall who were attracted to her, and walked straight to Miss Sophie in the corner.
"Miss Sophie Marceau, I, Elena Holley, now formally challenge you!" she dropped the white handkerchief in her hand, her voice holding a sense of insistence that could not be refused.
Miss Sophie was puzzled: "Why? Why should I accept your challenge?"
"For the man whom you have abandoned like a piece of dust, and whom I cherish like a treasure! I will prove that I am no worse than you!" Miss Elena exclaimed, "If you still have the dignity of a warrior, draw your sword!"
Miss Sophie took a deep breath and picked up the white handkerchief on the ground: "Well, in that case, I accept your challenge!"
D'Artagnan also ran over and intervened between the two: "You don't have to do this, in fact, ......"
"Get out!" "Get out!" said the two angry ladies in unison.
Duke Holley looked at the somewhat unfamiliar daughter in front of him with a strange expression, and still reluctantly ordered: "Go and prepare for a duel!"
The crowd dispersed, leaving an empty space in the hall for the two dueling ladies.
Silver-white Western-style swords were presented by the attendants, and a huge black piano was pushed in.
Aristocrats of men, women and children gathered around the venue and discussed:
"Why is this going to be a fight?"
"It's not the d'Artagnan's sin!"
"Good two little girls, jealous for a man. ”
"I've heard that it's not like you're jealous. ”
"Marceau's family is so bold that Duke Holley dares to provoke him. ”
"The Philharmonic Palace vs. the Rose Sword Academy, the first hit and the fourth, the result is hard to say. ”
"What's so bad about this, it must be Sophie of the Marceau family who won, and Yelena of the Duke's family is still too young. ”
"Don't look at it, they've all rolled out the piano, Miss Elena has won!"
"Ah, no, such a young grandmaster?"
"Miss Sophie was still a martial arts master when the academy was big competition last year, I don't know if she has broken through now. ”
"No, Miss Elena is so young that she ...... Is she 18 or 19? ”
......
Miss Elena slowly sat down in front of the grand piano, and Miss Sophie stood with her sword in the distance.
The lid of the piano is lifted.
The silver-white bayonet sword was drawn.
The duel officially began.
With a scream, Miss Sophie jumped to her feet and stabbed straight at Miss Elena.
She was very fast, but what was even faster was that countless lines of bright red sword qi erupted with her sword momentum.
This is the release of internal qi and the release of internal qi, Miss Sophie has been promoted to Grandmaster!
"Dang!" the sound of the piano exploded.
Miss Sophie's sword couldn't help but pause.
"When!when!when!when!" A series of notes exploded in turn, and the colorless and formless internal sound waves stirred in the air.
The bright red sword qi in the sky was instantly shattered and washed away.
Miss Elena is also a grandmaster!
This dinner, this duel, let everyone present see with their own eyes and witness the birth of the youngest grandmaster in the entire history of the Philharmonic Palace.
