LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 195 Background Board Laurent
The next day, morning.

Quinn sent another message.

"At one o'clock last night, they went back to the forest the night before. They didn't return until three or four o'clock."

"Did you go again?"

Lu Qi listened and thought for a while.

Looking at it this way, it seems that they have not done it once or twice, and it is possible that they have already started to wander outside like this since the day they were in the capital.

First of all, what is certain is that they must be looking for something, otherwise they would run around outside the capital in the middle of the night.

After thinking about it, Lu Qi said, "Continue to observe, and let me know if you find something new."

"Yes."

Quinn responded.

Watching her walk towards the backyard, Lu Qi leaned on the rocking chair and said casually in his heart: "Sign in."

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the primary skill upgrade card*1]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the training card (three days)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare fruit - red grapes]

This time there are three rewards, although nothing particularly good.

Lu Qi has already saved two basic skill upgrade cards. So far, he has no skills he wants to upgrade, so he continues to put them in his backpack.

Had breakfast.

Lu Qi sat casually on the rocking chair, with an easel in front of him, on which was a semi-finished landscape oil painting.

Compared with the snappy and neat state when he was in a serious state, Lu Qi's movements at this moment are not a single stroke, and he is killing time leisurely.

Next to her, Lux was holding a newspaper in her hand, looking at the content, and said, "Yesterday afternoon, the Laurent family sent people to challenge that Hughes."

Hearing this, Lu Qi became a little interested, turned his head and leaned closer, almost leaning on Miss Guanwei's body, and his eyes fell on the newspaper in her hand.

Automatically skipping some irrelevant content, he quickly found what he wanted to see.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon on October [-]nd, Blanche Laurent went to the Skagwent embassy to challenge Hughes Francis, and failed badly.

An hour later, Baruch Laurent challenged again and failed miserably.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Willis Laurent challenged and lost in three strokes.

Hughes said: As long as it is from the Laurent family, no matter how many people come to challenge, he will accept it. I hope that those who come tomorrow will no longer be a few incompetent trash. "

This sentence fully reflects what is called arrogance and arrogance.

But the record in the newspaper also proves that Hughes does have the capital to do so.

"Three consecutive losses."

Lacus couldn't believe it after reading it.

In one afternoon, the Laurent family sent three people to challenge Hughes, but they were all defeated.

Moreover, Hughes did not refuse Laurent's challenges, not only accepting all of them, but also causing his opponents to lose miserably.

In this way, through the publicity in today's newspapers, this matter may have already spread to the entire king's capital.

Hughes became famous in one fell swoop, and the Laurent family completely became a stepping stone.

And with the spread of this incident, the duel challenge launched by Hughes to Amda, the eldest son of the Laurent family, on the National Day also spread throughout the entire capital.

In the current royal capital, this matter is being discussed everywhere.

At this time, Lux saw Fiona approaching, and immediately put away the newspaper, with an expression of not seeing anything.

Seeing her like this, Fiona smiled: "I already know that someone was scolded this morning."

She said, and glanced at Lu Qi.

Originally, it wouldn't have been such a big deal.

But after such a publicity in the newspaper, everyone now knows about it.

After the three clan elders read the newspaper in the morning, their faces turned blue.

With such a publicity, the Laurent family has indeed become famous again, and the people in the capital once again recalled this former family of swordsmanship.

But the way to be famous is to be a stepping stone for others.

Lux looked at Fiona curiously and said, "Then what do you think?"

"Isn't that true?"

Fiona's tone was cold, and she said indifferently.

Although she also belonged to the Laurent family, she felt that they were responsible for the embarrassment that happened to her own family.

It is not particularly honorable to harass the opponent before the duel.

Coupled with this three-game losing streak, it can be described as embarrassing now.

The decision was made by the three clan elders and other clan relatives. Although her father and mother disapproved, they could not stop it.

Lu Qi asked at this time: "What about today? What are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to get back on the stage." Fiona chuckled and sat down casually. "They definitely won't be able to swallow this breath. If they want to earn back the lost face, they can only continue to challenge."

Lux asked, "What if we lose again today?"

"Then you'll lose even more face." Fiona smiled faintly.

When she said this, it was as if she was speaking from the perspective of a bystander.

This is true.

For so many years, she watched them consume the reputation and glory of the Laurent family little by little from a corner that people hadn't noticed.

Today, this family is immersed in the glory of the past and cannot extricate themselves. There is a beautiful shell, but the inside is empty.

Even today, many younger generations of the Laurent family are not as good as their distant relatives.

In her opinion, such a family is bound to decline.

"Then go and have a look in the afternoon."

Lu Qi expressed his interest and planned to visit the site in the afternoon.

Time flies, one o'clock in the afternoon.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the Skaguen embassy.

This is a residence specially built for foreign envoys, occupying a large area.

When Lu Qi's carriage stopped, there were already many carriages parked around.

Obviously, there are still many people who came to watch the fun.

Except for some nobles, most of the residents in the royal capital surrounded the embassy.

"Everyone, please come in."

An emissary of Skagorn opened the door, allowing everyone to enter.

Naturally, Lu Qi and the others didn't need to enter through the main entrance. They were very portable and led the way by a special person, and soon arrived at the periphery of a specially prepared ring in the embassy.

After choosing the location, some nobles came forward to say hello after they spotted a few people.

Lu Qi responded one by one.

It didn't take long for this time's rightful lord to appear on the stage.

on the ring.

Hughes held a weapon shaped like a knife or a sword in his hand. It had a unique shape, about one meter long, and a cold glow shone in his hand.

And standing opposite him was the young generation of the most powerful Laurent family, holding a thin sword in his hand, standing upright.

This person's name is Farmer, and in terms of relationship, he is Fiona's cousin.

Farmer did not expect so many people to come today. At this moment, the outside of the ring was almost full of people.

Being watched by so many eyes, he couldn't help tidying up his clothes, then grasped the sword again, and looked at Hughes opposite.

For him, this is a great opportunity to be famous.

"It's fine if you beat a few of my clan brothers, and you still utter wild words. Today I must stand up and punish your arrogance."

While speaking righteously, Farmer waved the accessories in the air twice.

Hughes looked indifferent, and said disdainfully: "Stop talking nonsense, you look as incompetent as those three trash yesterday."

Farmer's expression showed a bit of anger, and he snorted coldly: "I will let you try the sword skills of the Laurent family."

According to the rules of the duel, the two faced each other and paced in circles, changing their steps and sword-holding postures according to the movements stipulated in the duel ceremony, just like the salute between two dance partners before the soundtrack of the waltz was played.

This is a ritual sense of duel.

It is also reminding the audience at the scene that the battle they are looking forward to is about to begin.

After the ceremony, Farmer raised the sword without saying a word, rushed forward with a stride, and stabbed the opponent's heart with the rapier in his hand.

The swords of the Laurent family are fast and ruthless, and this sword is indeed sharp and crisp in the eyes of the audience.

In the stands, Fiona frowned and then relaxed, her calm eyes seemed to know the result of the duel.

But her gaze still fell on the stage, this time it was Hughes.

A sneer twitched at the corner of Hughes' mouth, and he dodged the sword sideways, and the strangely shaped sword in his hand slashed towards Farmer's neck.

Farmer immediately retracted his rapier to block, then counterattacked.

However, just as the counterattack stabbed out of the sword, Hughes' sword fell one step faster.

For a split second, Farmer felt tremendous pressure.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect the opponent's sword to be so fast.

Before he had time to think, he retracted his sword to block again, but he didn't realize that after two moves, he was already at a disadvantage.

"What? Didn't you let me try Laurent's swordsmanship?"

There was already a touch of relief and sarcasm on Hughes' face.

His casualness made Farmer feel that he had already lost, but his opponent didn't do it on purpose.

"Then get ready!" Feeling even more annoyed in his heart, Farmer yelled, and stabbed a few times with all his strength, regaining the upper hand in a short time.

In the stands, Lu Qi took a look and said, "It seems that he is trying to understand your Laurent family's swordsmanship."

Fiona was still looking at the stage, and nodded when she heard the words, and she had already discovered this.

Lux asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"When he made the second sword, he had already won."

Lu Qi looked at Hughes and Farmer who were still fighting on the stage, "It's just that he doesn't want to win so quickly."

Lacus nodded in amazement, and then looked at Farmer who kept stabbing his sword on the stage.

I feel that it is obviously a family's swordsmanship, why do I feel that this person is far worse than Miss Jianji?
Facts have proved that for Hughes, this duel is indeed a win if you want to win.

After he found out that he could not learn more about Laurent's sword from Farmer, he quickly ended the battle.

Farmer was swinging his sword vigorously, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Hughes' sword had hovered over his throat, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you the elder brother of those three people yesterday?" Hughes looked at Farmer in front of him and smiled disdainfully: "In my opinion, compared with them, you have the advantage of being older."

The words seem to say that he is also a waste.

"You" Farmer felt a little embarrassed, and immediately clenched his fists.

In a holy duel, seldom has anyone won and humiliated his opponent more than Hughes.

"Farmer, come down."

Under the stage, a man holding a thin sword in his arms spoke out.

Farmer heard the words, looked away from Hughes's face, glanced at the surrounding audience who were talking, sighed, and walked off the ring.

The man holding the sword came to the stage and looked at Hughes: "I am Araka Laurent, the older brother of the challenger just now. Your next challenger is me. I will challenge you to a duel in an hour."

Hughes laughed, and said indifferently: "Don't bother, I will accept your duel now."

The contempt in his tone made Araka's complexion sink: "Since you said so, let's start."

He drew out his rapier, swung it twice in the air, and flashed two sword lights.

Alaka, the strength of the Laurent family is second only to Amda.

In Fiona's impression, he was indeed somewhat talented.

However, looking at Hughes on the opposite side, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes.

And on the ring, the battle between Hughes and Alaka, with the end of the duel ceremony, is about to begin.

Araka did not choose to take the initiative to attack, holding a rapier in his hand, he stood calmly on the spot, sizing up his opponent.

"Ah."

Resting gave a cold snort, lifted the sword and flicked his figure, and charged directly.

There seemed to be an indescribable aura in his body, which brought a layer of pressure out of thin air.

And his swordsmanship is also quite fast.

Araka stared at the opponent closely, and when the opponent moved, he also reacted immediately, stabbing out the one who didn't defend and counterattack with the rapier.

The meeting of the two fast swords is destined to cause a more intense confrontation.

As the battle began, Lu Qi quickly felt a sword intent, and then he glanced at Fiona next to him.

Miss Jian Ji frowned, as if she felt it too.

This sword intent came from Hughes.

But after careful observation, it can be found that Hughes' state is a little different at the moment, and he seems to be much more excited.

Lu Qi now has a variety of sword intents, and his understanding of sword intents can be said to be very high.

At this moment, he also felt the difference in the sword intent of Hughes.

After thinking about it for a while, he discovered the details that he had overlooked in a battle.

This was not obvious in the last game because Farmer's strength was not enough.

Looking back at this moment, Lu Qi realized that Hughes didn't seem to want to learn the Laurent family's swordsmanship only when he delayed the battle.

He is still accumulating sword intent.

With the display of the sword intent on Hughes, Lu Qi could feel that his state and momentum had also changed.

All have become a little bit stronger.

And as the fight rages on, Hughes seems to be getting stronger.

This point is somewhat similar to Wuji Sword Intent. Wuji means no limit, so Wuji Sword Intent will become stronger and stronger in battle.

In contrast, Hughes is more like fighting to get himself into a better state.

In this state, his strength will be stronger than normal.

Wuji Sword Intent can grow infinitely without any restrictions.

And the sword intent on Hughes gave Lu Qi the feeling that it was more like a breakthrough. Through fighting to accumulate a certain amount of sword intent, he broke through to a new level and became even stronger.

So instead of waiting for an hour, he directly started a new battle with Araka.

Lu Qi looked at the stage thoughtfully. Although this was only his speculation, he felt that it was almost the same.

Halfway through the battle, Araka already felt a lot of pressure.

He realized that the clan elders had underestimated this person.

His strength is very strong!
Fiona stood up, no longer intending to read any more, and was about to leave.

She knew in her heart that there was no point in watching this duel anymore.

When Lu Qi and the others saw this, they got up one after another and followed her to leave early.

Not long after they left, on the ring, the rapier in Araka's hand fell feebly to the ground.

In the afternoon, without the need for newspaper propaganda, the battle at the Skaguen embassy had already become a hot topic of conversation among the people of the capital.

Farmer and Alaka are brothers, and although their reputation in Mithral City is not as good as that of Amda, they are considered to be somewhat famous.

But the two brothers challenged Hughes one after another today, and they all lost in the end.

This not only proves once again that Hughes possesses impressive strength, but also seems to convey to the world that the current Laurent family seems to be no longer what it used to be.

The young members of the Laurent family who possessed certain strength were all defeated by Hughes in two days.

After this wave, the Laurent family completely became Hughes' background board.

And Hughes also said after defeating Alaka that he would smash the last dignity of the Laurent family.

Now, there is only one true master left, Amda.

In the past two days, Amda, who was in retreat, learned of this incident, but he couldn't understand this wave of operations.

"Grandpa, why did you challenge him to a duel without telling me?"

In the Laurent family, Amda looked directly at the elders in front of him, with helpless anger in his eyes.

At this moment, the expressions of the three elders and the uncles were not very good.

Facing his gaze, the elder of the clan still said: "Because you represent more than yourself. You are the next successor to the patriarch we have elected. If something goes wrong in this duel, the entire Laurentian will The reputation of the Te family will be damaged."

This duel was initiated on the National Day, and the entire capital was witnessing it.

If the next successor is defeated by foreign envoys, the impact on the Laurent family will be too great.

Amda asked, "So what's the point now?"

This question silenced everyone in the room.

In two days, five consecutive losses.

The younger generation of the Laurent family was basically abused by others.

In the past two days, there have been discussions about the Laurent family all over the city, and it can be said that Hughes has made a name for himself with the help of the Laurent family.

In this way, the reputation of the Laurent family was lost a lot after all.

Moreover, this superfluous operation not only failed to prevent tomorrow's duel, but also let more people know about it.

At the same time, it also brought more pressure to Amda.

"No matter what you say, take a good rest today and prepare for tomorrow's duel."

At this point, Sebastian stood up and looked at Amandadao, and said gently: "Don't put too much pressure, the reputation of the Laurent family will not disappear just because of a duel."

That's what I said, but everyone knows that the gold content of tomorrow's duel is completely different.

It's okay to say that Amda won.

But if they lose, the Laurent family will probably never be able to lift their heads again.

Looking into his father's gaze, Amda let out a deep breath, and said, "Yes, father. I went to the backyard to continue practicing swords."

Seeing his back as he walked out, Sebastian sighed in his heart, and listened quietly to the discussions of the people around him.

His eyes fell on his legs.

He is not a competent father.

If, in the past, the enemy was not so underestimated.

His wife, son and daughter will not have so much pressure.

It was dark, almost eleven o'clock.

In Lu Qiyuan.

"See you tomorrow."

Fiona stood at the courtyard door and said goodbye.

"See you tomorrow."

Lu Qi nodded, and asked casually, "By the way, are you drinking the medicine I prescribed for uncle?"

Fiona nodded and replied, "I drink every day."

"That's good."

Lu Qi smiled and watched Fiona turn and leave.

Since the last time the Laurents came to the hospital, he had noticed Sebastian's leg injury, so after that, he got some medicine for him.

If you count the time, it should have some effect.
