The mage arrives

() "Mr. Ogro, you just appeared on the duel field with the flash technique. Your proficient spell application skills are admirable. But this does not mean that you can interfere with the duel at will." Gordon sneered, glanced at glance aside.

Ogro entered the arena indiscriminately, and Dawn had rushed over with the witnesses of the duel and the platinum priest who maintained order.

"The duel is over, and you have won, haven't you?" Ogro said, with an elf-like ending in his tone, "You have proved your honor with a holy duel. Hao Lin is the loser, and he must bear the burden." The consequences of spreading rumors. But, as his teacher, I don't want to see him pay the price with his life."

As Ogro spoke, he chanted a spell, and a small metal box suddenly appeared from the void and fell at Gordon's feet: "There are some gadgets in this box. I hope you can accept it as an apology."

Gordon opened the box, glanced at it, and said to himself, "As expected of a ninth-level sorcerer, he is really generous."

He calmly put the metal box into the dimension bag, nodded and said: "Hao Lin's life is yours."

"Thank you for your kindness."

While Gordon was talking to O'Gero, Hao Lin who was lying on the ground woke up suddenly.

The humiliation and resentment of failure made his psychology even more distorted. The noisy voices around him seemed to be ridicules smeared with poison, constantly corroding his only rationality.

"Asshole! I didn't lose, I want to kill Gordon!"

Hao Lin, who lost his mind, struggled to take out a hand crossbow from his robe, aimed at Gordon, and pulled the trigger.

Gordon is talking to Ogro, his eyes mostly blocked.He didn't notice a crossbow arrow flying towards him until the audience around him screamed.

At this moment, the statue of the platinum dragon god Bahamut suddenly burst into golden light.

This ray of light was like a living thing. It first knocked down the flying crossbow arrows to the ground, and then turned into a chain of imprisonment, binding Hao Lin up.

"Lord Bahamut has appeared!"

The first to react were the priests of the Platinum Temple. They immediately knelt down to the statue and prayed devoutly.The believers of Bahamut also followed suit.Even people who believe in other gods bow down to the dragon god statue to show their respect.

After that, almost everyone poured their anger on Hao Lin.

"Despicable! Surprised the winner after the duel!"

"Lord Bahamut has punished him!"

"It seems that the news about the sale of fake and inferior magic potions in Mage Gordon's shop is indeed a rumor."

"Of course, a guy like Hao Lin, who is even more despicable than a villain, can't believe everything he says."

The discussion in the crowd reached Gordon's ears.The victory of this duel, coupled with the unexpected divine power displayed by Bahamut, drove Hao Lin into the abyss.His reputation has been completely bankrupt, and the rumors against Gordon are naturally self-defeating.

Oglo looked at his students, shook his head, with a disappointed expression on his face: "Hao Lin, from the day you became a student, I taught you to be honest and have a sense of honor, but you have already given these Things are completely left behind. From now on, I have nothing to do with you."

Gordon knew that Hao Lin was finished.Not only did he lose the duel, his reputation was ruined, even his teacher abandoned him. This former three-ring mage, the elite class of the city, has fallen into a bottomless black hole, and it may be difficult to turn back.

However, the blow to Hao Lin was not over yet.

The Priest of the Platinum Temple led four temple guards and surrounded the seriously injured Hao Lin.

"Master Hao Lin, how do you explain your behavior of attacking Master Gordon after the duel?" The pastor gave Hao Lin a cure for serious injuries, barely stabilized the injury, and then asked with a stern look.

Fererton regards the Platinum Church as the state religion, and Bahamut priests who advocate justice and fairness have law enforcement powers in many places, and Clear Water City is no exception.

Facing the questioning, Hao Lin opened his mouth, his face was as ugly as rancid milk, but he couldn't say a word.

"If you violate the rules of dueling, you will be deprived of your citizenship and serve ten years of hard labor." Every word the pastor said drove Hao Lin further into despair.

The subject changed, and the pastor said again: "However, you are a mage and have extrajudicial privileges. As long as you obtain Mr. Gordon's understanding, you can be exempted from punishment."

Denial of citizenship meant not being able to join any professional guilds, find any legal job, or even enter the city without an amnesty.And ten years of hard labor, the destruction of a mage, made Hao Lin shudder just thinking about it.It is very likely that he will never be able to take a step forward on the road of magic because of this.

Hao Lin gritted his teeth, struggled and staggered to his feet.He bowed deeply to Gordon, and said in a hoarse voice: "I would like to express my most sincere apologies to you for my previous hostile behavior. Please forgive me for all the evil thoughts I have produced because of my distortion and despicableness."

Gordon could even hear the sound of Hao Lin gnashing his teeth. It is conceivable how uncomfortable and short of breath these words made him.

He felt very happy.

"I accept the verbal apology," Gordon said unhurriedly, "but words alone cannot make up for my loss."

"I understand." Although his heart was bleeding, Hao Lin still handed his dimensional bag to Gordon with trembling hands, "The password to open is 'miso-la-wuno', I hope these things can calm your anxiety. anger."

Gordon took the dimensional bag unceremoniously, not paying any attention to Hao Lin's twitching corner of his mouth and ashes-like expression.

A mage usually puts his most precious and valuable things in a dimensional bag and carries them with him.Gordon took over the dimensional bag, which means he took over most of Hao Lin's property.He opened the bag, checked it, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and took out a book.

"Darson's Evocation Spell Experience".

Gordon stroked the textured animal skin cover, feeling like he had lost it and found it again.He shook the book in front of Hao Lin: "Now, do you know who is the loser?"

"Loser...loser...loser..."

The three glaring words kept echoing in his mind. Hao Lin never thought that the words he used to humiliate Gordon would end up on him in the end. He spit out a mouthful of blood again, and fainted to the ground in a fit of rage.

"This..." Seeing Hao Lin who had fainted again, Pastor Bai Jin showed embarrassment.

"Mage Hao Lin and I have reached an agreement. You can carry him into the temple for treatment. I believe this mage should still have the gold coins to pay for the magic spell." After Gordon finished speaking, he looked at Hao Lin with pity.

Even if the penalty is waived, it will not change the fact that Hao Lin has completely failed.

Gordon ended the duel in complete victory.He made an appointment with Don, Pastor Jack, and Duro, who was late because of things, to celebrate the victory.Gordon originally wanted to invite Renas, who had helped him a lot, to go with him, but it turned out that the female paladin had quietly left at some point.

Adventurers and citizens witnessed a wonderful spell duel, which was enough for long-term conversation, allowing them to pass the long and boring time of winter beside the warm fireplace.

The only one who is dissatisfied is probably Dunville Ritter.

When he witnessed Hao Lin being defeated by Gordon's missile storm, he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage and left Platinum Square.

The exclusive luxurious carriage of the eldest son of the Ritter family stopped at a remote beach by the Clear Water River.

"Bastard! Bastard! That damned Gordon Freeman, the guy who should be cursed by the gods to bleed pus, why did he win this time?" Dunville drew out his noble rapier and vented at a poor willow tree own anger.

The coachman hid in the distance without saying a word, for fear that he would become the target of the young master's anger.

The father and son of the Ritter family seem to have the problem of destroying items to vent their anger.

The leaves that had been cut off by the sword fluttered in the wind. Dunwell looked at the broken leaves all over the sky, stared blankly, and finally calmed down.

"Hao Lin failed. He lost his reputation, status, wealth, and was even expelled by his teacher. He has become a street rat and cannot survive independently in Clearwater City. But he is still a sixth-level mage, and his strength is still there. And The hatred for Gordon in my chest will definitely burn even more vigorously. If I lend a helping hand at the right time, maybe I will add a useful talent to the Ritter family. Hehe, it can also be said to be cannon fodder. However, the three saints The Baptist Church is about to launch a big operation, so I can only restrain myself temporarily to avoid complications."

Dunville sorted out his thoughts and was about to leave when suddenly, a blood-stained rider dressed as a servant rushed towards him.

"what happened?"

The servant got off his horse, ran towards Dunville, and hurriedly said: "Master, there is an important guest coming, and the master tells you to go back quickly!"

"Who is the guest? Also, what's going on with you?" Dunville asked, frowning.Because they were afraid of being ridiculed by those nobles as nouveau riche, the Ritter family had very strict requirements on their servants, and they would never allow servants to gallop on horseback in such dirty clothes.

The rider seemed to recall the most terrifying nightmare deep in his soul, shivering all over his body, and tremblingly said: "Master...Master, the blood on my body belongs to the gardener Anderson. When the guest walked into the garden, Anderson happened to be there Trimming a moongreen vine, he took an extra look at the guest, and as a result...Anderson's head was cut off suddenly! I...I...was right next to him, and I was immediately stained with Anderson's blood. I was terrified at the time, and my mind went blank. The guest ordered me to inform you, young master, so I didn't dare to change my clothes, so I ran over without stopping."

"Is the guest you speak of a beautiful red-haired woman with a mole on her chin?"

"It's indeed a red-haired beauty, otherwise Anderson wouldn't have stared at her chest, and ended up in a catastrophe... But whether she has a mole on her chin, I was terrified at the time, so I didn't see it clearly."

Dunville nodded: "It seems that there is nothing wrong. It is her, the sister of Necromancer Mendoza, the crazy woman who believes in the goddess of pain."

Regarding the arrival of the backbone member of the Three Holy Baptist Church, Dunville was a little scared, but also a little excited: "Gordon, your death time has arrived!"
