Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 244

Isa Sandria is a rose-coloured poisonous snake that devours people, and Katerina Igor is the famous lady of Eagle's Rest in the Westlands.

These two people are the best women in the aristocratic circle who never want to suffer easily in social situations.

Thus, the farce that took place tonight at the banquet at Isa Sandria's mansion vividly demonstrated how the mutual threats between the great powers escalated layer by layer, and finally evolved into a thermonuclear war of mutually assured destruction :

First, Countess Isa Sandria disregarded the attitude of the Igor family and unilaterally declared the marriage contract to declare sovereignty over the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge. Feeling ashamed, in the end it was Isa Sandria who completely liberated her combat power and won the moral high ground for herself with the wailing that completely abandoned her face...

Of course, historical experience tells us that the game between the big countries seems to be fierce, but in fact the ultimate sacrifice will always be those small countries that serve as their pawns.

The two eldest ladies who were fighting fiercely with open guns and dark arrows did not matter, but Isa Sandria, the young and frivolous suitor, threw the white gloves that provoked the duel towards the lord of Frost Maple Ridge...

As for the Countess of the Stigmata who induced all this with her cries and superb acting skills, she is now sipping sparkling wine and watching from the sidelines...

And the hypocritical persuasion of the nobles at the banquet failed to stop the young noble who wanted to vent his anger on his sweetheart and made a name for himself. This guy even put down his words directly:
"Eliot Igor! You coward, do you have the courage to accept my challenge?!"

As soon as this remark came out, the nobles of the imperial capital knew that a wonderful duel must be staged now.

The nobles of the empire, especially those young men, lived their whole life for a face-if anyone had a thick face and pretended to be a "coward", he would never want to continue to hang out in the aristocratic circle for the rest of his life;

The cruel words uttered by the young nobleman also meant that this guy was really dazzled by love, leaving no room for the Lord Shuangfengling and himself, and this duel must be fought;
Witnessing such a reckless move, some mature and prudent middle-aged nobles at the banquet could not help shaking their heads secretly—only this group of veterans who have been smoothed by society know how important it is to be a social unspoken rule.

However, Lord Shuangfengling's performance did not disappoint the boring nobles who were waiting to eat melons and watch the show:

Facing the provocation from the young nobleman of the same age, the senior official Xiahou just glanced contemptuously at the white gloves on the ground, then stretched out his hand and pointed an index finger at the indignant challenger, and hooked it back.

"Come here." Lord Frost Maple Ridge's voice was not loud, but extremely insulting.

Amidst the laughter and whistles of the nobles, a circular open space was quickly cleared in the central area of ​​the banquet hall. enough space.

For a long time, "Duel" has been a popular cultural and sports activity for the residents of the Haiwen Continent. In ancient times, this bloody ceremony often ended with the death of one party. With the development of the times, it has also joined the new trend of promoting civilization and establishing a new style. Becoming more and more civilized——Unlike the savage federal orcs who still retain the custom of fighting to the death, the duels provoked by the nobles of the modern empire are actually the elegant and safe version of gangster street fights:
Although no one can die, it is still very possible to lose a few teeth and lose face.

And to beat up this wilderness lord from out of town and make him lose face in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, it was the young noble who provoked the duel, and a group of old emperors with serious xenophobic feelings. The common aspiration of the clan.

As the lord of Frost Maple Ridge accepted the duel challenge, stood loudly in the duel venue, and confronted the provocative noble youth, Katerina Igor's face quickly turned pale:
The other nobles thought that the young lady of Eagle's Rest was afraid that her brother would be beaten;
Only the elf mage Begrade knew that Katerina was clearly afraid that Lord Shuangfengling would accidentally beat someone to death...

The corrupt aristocrats who do not leave the gate of the imperial capital are just a group of ignorant frogs in the well; but Belgrade, who has really experienced life in the mountains and countryside in the land of cracked souls, has a great understanding of Shuangfengling from top to bottom. The following behavior style is all too familiar:
If the Igor pioneer army who wiped out the bandits in the Land of Cracking Soul was a group of wilderness thugs who were more bandits than bandits, then the gentle-looking Lord Frost Maple Ridge is simply a fucking dead man. The leader of the thug with a girl's body, a beast in clothes with a tiger crushing roses on his chest!

During his sojourn in Frost Maple Ridge, Master Begrade was fortunate enough to witness how the lord tortured the bandit captives:
In order to dig out from the mouth of the unlucky bandit the hiding place of the ten gold coins he obtained after he murdered and hijacked the road, a certain lord who was too idle to do the work himself used crowbars, drumsticks and human skin drums. On the other hand, a lively and extraordinary percussion party was held in Tongquetai Barracks Square:
After the interrogation, the bandit captive didn't have a few intact bones left from top to bottom, only his arms and fingers escaped. During the interrogation, the lord was delighted to find that this guy's ability to make up lies was first-rate , is a once-in-a-century novel writing talent, so he deliberately left his hands so that he can continue to use his residual heat and contribute residual value in Dongbingku.

Recalling these unpleasant memories, Master Belgrade is really worried about the future of that young nobleman on the duel field...

But the ignorant do tend to be fearless.

Seeing the lord of Frost Maple Ridge calmly standing in the duel field, accepting his challenge of planting the flag, the young nobleman secretly glanced at the mysterious expression of his favorite Isa Sandria, and then used his best The loud voice called:
"Eliot Igor! What weapon will you fight with? A sword? A knife? A club?"

This is a very stupid question.

Obviously, the young nobleman who raised the challenge knew as well as many nobles watching that the young heir of the Igor family was not only the new lord of the wasteland, but also an unlicensed magician who had studied in the Academy City.

In the most traditional unrestricted duel, although the magician faces the warrior in close quarters, although he also suffers, but with his own magic skills, at least he can fight back;
But when the question "what weapon to use" is asked, the implication is that this competition is pure martial arts, and magic is not allowed to enter indiscriminately!

Among the surrounding imperial nobles, those old nobles who used to have a close relationship with the Igor family, Qi Qi cursed "shameless" in his heart, and then looked at the old friend Vincent Igor with worried eyes. young heir.

To their horror, facing this hidden trap question, Lord Frost Maple Ridge did not follow the magician's natural right to ask for "unlimited duels", but replied lightly:
"A long sword is fine."

In the modern continent where mages are getting weaker and mage culture is getting worse, there are really very few mages who decide to compete with others in physical attacks. It can only be seen in the barren era when wild adventures are perilous and wandering mages have swords.

The onlookers feel that they can see the rare sword fighting scene today, and that this banquet is worth the fare, and at the same time, they feel sorry for the Lord of Shuangfengling on the field:

The young nobles in the imperial capital often practice martial arts and keep fit from an early age, and the young nobleman named Iverson Netwan who challenged the Lord of Shuangfengling was once in the imperial capital. The noble children won the first place in the private swordsmanship competition;

As for Lord Frost Maple Ridge on the opposite side...

According to the rumors, the onlookers judged initially that this guy must have been hollowed out by wine and sex in the academy city, and he could be regarded as a magical reed.

No matter how you look at it, this is a completely disproportionate and one-sided duel.

Following everyone's greetings, the attendants of Countess Sandria's family hurriedly brought wooden long swords that smelled like freshly planed sawdust to the dueling parties.

This kind of practice weapon basically does not bleed, but if you get hit hard, you will be bruised, which is quite uncomfortable.

Xia Houyan took the wooden sword from the attendant, weighed it in his hand, and curled his lips helplessly.

In his heart, he only hated that the empire has always relied on magicians to provide heavy firepower, and did not pay much attention to the development of firearms. As a result, even muskets are useless in duels now, and they can only produce some melee weapons—compared to dry wooden long swords, two Wouldn't it be more handsome if people each copied a pistol and shot each other passionately...

And which passionate young man doesn't want to become a wilderness savior in the duel field, and open the eyes of death to be crazy that noon is here?
But complaining is all about complaining, Xia Houyan still picked up the weapon honestly, and then looked at the young nobleman opposite, and picked up a wooden long sword with the same confidence.

The middle-aged noble who volunteered to act as the referee gave an order, and the swordsmanship duel finally officially began.

Everson Netwan, a young master of swordsmanship in the imperial capital, did not forget to yell at his sweetheart, "Fight for the honor of Miss Isa Sandria!" , Shaking out an incomparably gorgeous fencing gesture, he swung his sword and rushed straight towards the lord of Shuangfengling.

Then he was kicked to the ground by Xiahou's official.

Master Belgrade and Katerina Qiqi covered their eyes.

I have to say that the lord of Shuangfengling, who practiced martial arts with the soldiers of the pioneering army every day and killed Yingye and restored Yingcheng in the wasteland, really restrained his nature when he came to the realm of cultural people in the imperial capital, and he seemed to be very virtuous:

In order not to cause any serious injury to the opponent in the duel, he stretched out his foot to step on Iverson Netwan who fell to the ground and wailed, and then turned the wooden long sword in his hand upside down very intimately, holding the wooden blade of the long sword with both hands , using the blunt end of the hilt, swinging his arms and hammering at the guy's head, shoulders, waist and eyes. The golf swing posture is so standard that it can be used for motion capture for "The Last of Us Part 2".

In the silent banquet hall, there were only muffled noises, screams, and howls, one after another, which was really pleasant to hear.

In fact, Xia Houyan was already paying attention to stepping on the young nobleman's arm with his feet, but he was still negligent. Ya desperately found a chance, stretched out his hand and slapped the smooth tile floor a few times, which was regarded as surrender.

The lord of Shuangfengling regretfully threw the wooden long sword aside, let go of the raw melon egg that had no compulsion to fight with him, and now there is only snot and tears all over his face, and then moved towards The stupefied onlookers gave a super-elegant Michael the Great salute.

The dumbfounded elf ambassador was stunned for a long while before he spoke to Master Begrade with a wry smile on his face:
"Awesome..."
