Chapter 7 For the sake of honor, dueling
"Protection, no, not needed. Prince Tumen smiled and said, "Young man, it's normal to make trouble, and someone should clean up Mex's temper, maybe she can surprise me when she goes." ”
At this moment in the imperial palace, Emperor Garan was sitting upright on a high chair looking down, she was wearing a gorgeous and somewhat dazzling robe, and her face was wearing a majestic metal mask, on which was engraved a handsome and incomparable face, but at the edge and above were several thin and long curved horns, like the long horns of the devil.
In the center of the main hall was a water mirror formed by magic, and nine female mages covered with tulle knelt in a circle around the water mirror, and magic continued to flow from their bodies and inject into the water mirror.
Richard's figure appears in the center of the water mirror, but his image is constantly distorted, sometimes immature, sometimes mature, and the environment and attire are also different, but most of the time, the image in the water mirror is blurry, and sometimes even completely dark.
The nine female mages quickly became drenched in sweat and stopped casting spells, and the water mirror turned into a cloud of qi and slowly drifted away.
The female mage at the head walked up to the emperor, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Emperor, there is always a force that interferes with our detection, so that we can't see Richard's future clearly, and all that can emerge is those scattered fragments just now. ”
Emperor Garan said slowly, "You have done your best, go down." ”
The emperor's voice is very peculiar, a combination of hoarse and soft, with bursts of metal rubbing sounds, I can't tell whether it is pleasant or ugly, but those who hear it will feel itchy in the cracks of the bones, and after listening to it for a long time, it seems that the heart will jump out of the body at any time.
The nine mages received the emperor's order and immediately hurriedly retreated, they didn't dare to stay by the emperor's side for long.
Emperor Garan waited for all the mages to leave before he said, "What do you think? ”
Out of behind the curtain came an elegant-looking middle-aged man, it was the Martial Saint Hidden Sword, and his voice was always gentle and pleasant: "I think it's not that there is a force that is interfering with their detection, but that Richard himself is not in the long river of fate, he is a variable outside the rules." ”
At this time, Emperor Jialan was also slightly moved, and said, "How sure are you?" ”
"I'm just guessing. ”
Emperor Garan groaned and said, "If Richard is really not in fate, then it is a bit interesting, what do you think he suddenly appeared in the Jade Heavenly Lake for?" ”
Zangjian smiled: "One is of course for the batch of materials we put in, I have seen the auction list, almost two-thirds of that batch of materials were auctioned away by him, and the other is probably to fight a few battles with our legendary powerhouses, to put it bluntly, it is Liwei who came." ”
Emperor Garan laughed a few times and said, "It's quite a bold little guy, but even if we don't make a move, there are enough strong people in the empire who can teach him some lessons, let him know that entering the legend is the beginning, how about the mountains and the sea." ”
"That kid has recently gone into hibernation, and it's estimated that he's sleeping every day, what do you mean?"
Emperor Garan said, "That's right, I'd love to see what the result of the combination of the Beast God bloodline and the Akmund bloodline will be. ”
Zangjian heard the anticipation in Emperor Jialan's tone, and couldn't help coughing a few times, and then said, "It seems that Richard hasn't moved her, and I don't know what the reason is." ”
The emperor frowned and said, "Then there is only one way." ”
Zangjian smiled bitterly and said, "I hope that in the future, Your Highness will not come to me for trouble when he grows up." ”
When the auction ended, Richard returned to the small hotel where he was staying.
The inn, called the Maiden of the Woods, is unknown in the Emerald Lake, and its owner was once a knight.
The hierarchy of the thousand-year-old empire is strict, there is a huge gap between the various classes, the estrangement is all-round, there are almost no channels of communication between the nobles and the commoners, and similarly, there are strict barriers between the commoners and the lower classes of the untouchables and even the slaves, so the news that has long spread in the upper class society is that the people of the forest maidens, whether they are residents or masters, still know nothing.
Richard also liked such a simple and quiet environment, and when he returned to his room, he sorted out the harvest, and then meditated, slowly recovering his magic.
The Emerald Heavenly Lake is a blessed city, meditating here, the speed of magic recovery is thirty percent higher than normal, and below the entire city, there is actually an incomparably huge magic array, absorbing all the energy within a radius of 100 kilometers around, and the center of the magic circle is pointing to the imperial palace in the center of the dream lake.
Whether it is the Emerald Heavenly Lake, the Ukiyo-e or the Deep Blue, they are all places that can greatly increase the speed of meditation or cultivation, and the benefits of being able to live here are not just those glamorous honors on the surface, but tangible.
When the needle pointed to two o'clock in the night, Richard suddenly woke up from his meditation, got up, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
Outside the window, there was a heroic girl standing, but her beauty was angular, full of murderous spirit, and she was wearing heavy armor, which was not a common outfit for girls.
"Richard. The girl asked coldly.
"I am. ”
"I, Mex Tumen, come with me. ”
Richard didn't move: "I have a lot of valuable things in my room, if I lose them"
"I can compensate you for anything I lose. Mex's answer was domineering.
"The things in my room are roughly worth ten top-tier offerings. ”
Mex's arrogance was suddenly suffocated, ten top-level sacrifices, such a quantity, not to mention that Mex's will definitely not be able to take it, even her father, Prince Tumen, will be broken.
"You," an angry Max instinctively tried to accuse Richard of bragging.
But in the blink of an eye, I remembered that Richard had spent six top-level sacrifices at auction alone, and there was always some stock in the bag, so thinking about it, the wealth of ten top-level sacrifices did not seem particularly outrageous, and Richard was a holy constructor, and the wealth of a holy constructor could never be measured by common sense.
The accusation was not uttered, and with a wave of his hand, Mex's golden dagger shot out and nailed it to the doorframe of the room.
"This is my family's token, whoever dares to touch your things will be hunted down by us endlessly, now you can go with me. Mexes said.
Richard nodded, didn't leave the door, jumped out of the window, and followed Max away.
As the two walked side by side, Richard suddenly asked, "What if I lose my things, you know, some thieves may like to take risks." ”
"I pay. This time, Mexes was not so confident, and even gritted his teeth.
Richard nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you." ”
Mex's pace slowed a little, and he sent out a cryptic message, and Richard didn't see it.
The two of them came to a small fighting arena one after the other, this fighting arena was ordinary in appearance, but the internal facilities were very luxurious, and there was actually a space magic circle.
Mexes tossed a magic crystal to the mage who managed the arena, then walked to the center of the arena and said, "This place can withstand the attacks of legendary powerhouses, so don't worry." ”
Richard didn't end up, stood on the sidelines, and said leisurely: "But why should I fight you." ”
Mex's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Nereus has renounced my engagement. ”
Richard shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me." ”
Mex's voice raised a few degrees: "He's with you now, accepting your protection, and you've withdrawn from the Holy Alliance for him, don't think I don't know anything." ”
"But it's between you and Neris, isn't it. Richard said.
Mexes suddenly pulled out a giant sword from his back with his backhand, slammed it into the ground, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, you beat me today, that's it, if you lose, then hand over Nereus to me, the insult to my family's honor must be punished." ”
Richard looked at Mexes with interest and asked, "What are you going to do to him if I hand over Neris?" ”
Mexes squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Rape first, then kill." ”
Richard shuddered.
He frowned imperceptibly, although the girl in front of him was still a little innocent in her words and deeds, but she could hear that she was not joking, and the sentence of rape first and then murder made Richard understand how big this feud was.
Nereus publicly tore up the marriage contract that day, which was no less than a resounding slap in the face of Mexes and Prince Tumen, and it was also equivalent to a slap in the face of the thousand-year-old imperial family.
When Richard came to the Emerald Sky Lake in person, he really felt the prosperity and longevity of the thousand-year-old empire and the strict hierarchical system, the more distinct the hierarchy, the more dignity the upper class people valued.
In terms of honor, the upper class of the Millennium Empire has inherited the almost perverted tradition of the Elven Empire to a large extent, so what Nereus does must have to pay a price, and it is a heavy price, this price was originally prepared by her for Wude, but by mistake, it was all borne by Richard.
Mexes is the beginning, but by no means the end.
It's just that with Mex's background, he still knows the general situation very well, even if he hates Nereus to the bone, in order to get the powerful Dark Thunder Titan bloodline, he has to 'rape first' in order to 'kill later'.
Mex's idea was good, but Richard could only sigh when he thought of Nerith's current situation, and said, "For some reason, I'm afraid this can't be as you wish." ”
Mex's giant sword swung with a murderous face, and said coldly: "I know that you don't agree, hmph, this matter is simple, as long as you can beat me, then I will have no face to worry about you." ”
Richard knew this, smiled and asked, "You don't care, others still do, right?" ”
"Of course, I only represent myself. ”
Richard nodded and said lightly, "I'm a legendary mage. ”
"A legend who has just been promoted may not be able to beat me. "Mex's looks confident.
Richard smiled and said, "If you want to duel with me, this reason alone is not enough, add some bets." "The fastest way to read novels and read books, /book/dazhuzai/
