LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia
第196章 这1剑,我磨了2年(1万1字)
Chapter 196 I have been grinding this sword for 12 years ([-] words)
Laurent family, practice room.
Amda held a thin blade in his hand, and aimed at the opposite dummy, stabbing continuously, the sharp sword shadow flickered in the air, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
At this time, he heard footsteps, and he stopped slowly.
Then, looking at the person who came, there was a little more helplessness on his face, and he also complained in his heart: "They look down on others, but at the same time they don't believe me, and they ended up like this in the end."
"The older you get, the less courage you have. Now they value reputation more than their lives, but they seem to have forgotten that reputation doesn't come from this way."
Fiona sat on a chair not far away, and said, "I'm going to watch the duel this afternoon."
Amda heard the words and asked, "Is he very strong?"
Fiona nodded lightly: "His sword intent is very powerful."
"Really." Amda wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled: "It seems like an opponent worthy of going all out."
While speaking, he swung his sword at the dummy again.
At this moment, Fiona noticed that there seemed to be a certain determination in him.
She looked at it, and couldn't help but go back to 12 years ago.
"It's too difficult, why do adults always like to practice this?"
She threw the heavy and long sword in her hand on the ground and asked puzzledly.
"Maybe it's because he's handsome!"
As Amda said, he made a handsome gesture of raising his sword.
She asked curiously: "What about you? Do you like to practice this because you are handsome?"
Amda thought about it seriously: "Handsomeness is just one aspect. I like to practice this because I decided to do it very early. I want to revive the glory of the Laurent family!"
He said so with a very majestic figure.
"I thought you were trying to attract those girls and kiss them on the mouth," she said.
Amda's face turned dark, and he quickly looked around: "Shh, didn't you promise me not to talk about it?"
She blinked and said with a smile, "There's no one around, so what are you afraid of?"
Amda looked at her seriously: "In short, don't talk about this matter again, otherwise I won't teach you sword skills in the future."
"Cut." She curled her lips: "I don't care about practicing."
"Fiona, once you have decided on one thing, don't give up easily." Amda still looked at her with a serious face: "Otherwise, you will never be able to truly resist them."
That sword is very heavy.
But Fiona picked it up again.
"Have you been practicing swords recently?"
Amda's figure brought Fiona back from her memory.
Fiona nodded.
"Really, if you think about it carefully, we haven't fought for a long time, right?"
Amda smiled and looked at her grown-up sister, "I'll see if you have become stronger when I have time some other day."
Fiona said, "It must surprise you."
"You've surprised me a lot."
Wiping off his sweat again, Amda looked at the sky outside, walked out and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
Fiona said "hmm".
Amda walked to the door, stopped again, looked back at her, wanted to say something, but just smiled, and then walked out.
After walking out of the sword training room, his gaze became very firm.
Tomorrow's duel, he must win.
Not only because he is now the last hope of the Laurent family.
It was because if he couldn't keep winning, he wouldn't be able to change his sister's fate in front of those people.
Fiona watched his leaving back, stood up, came to the weapon rack, pulled out a thin blade from it, set her gaze on it, and watched quietly.
The next day.
News from Quinn.
"Your Highness, at one o'clock last night, they went to the forest the night before again. Then at about three o'clock, they entered a cave, and then came out half an hour later. According to my observation, there was nothing extra on the three of them. .”
Quinn slowly recounted what he saw after following up last night.
Lu Qi heard the words and asked, "Did you go into the cave to see?"
Quinn replied: "After they left, I went in and checked, and found that the space inside was not large, and there was nothing there."
After listening, Lu Qi thought silently.
According to Quinn's follow-up in the past two days, it can be basically confirmed that Panisi and her uncle are looking for something.
But judging from today's appearance, they seem to have confirmed their position.
In a small cave with nothing in it, three people went in for half an hour before coming out.
No matter how he thought about it, Lu Qi felt that there was only one possibility.
That is, there are probably other caves in the cave.
Yesterday in the afternoon, Panisi came to play for a while, but she went back after a while, and she didn't show any abnormality.
After thinking about it, Lu Qi decided, if that's the case, he'll go and see for himself after tonight.
He is still quite curious about this matter.
Today, there is another hot issue that has caused discussions all over the city.
That was the duel between Hughes, the envoy from Skaguen, and Amda, the eldest son and next successor of the Laurent family.
Amda, as a well-known swordsman on the sword hall list, is also well-known in the capital.
And in the aristocratic circle, he is naturally very famous.
Heralded as the hope of reviving the Laurent family.
And Hughes also defeated five Laurent family challengers in a row in the past two days, which allowed him to gain a lot of attention in a very short period of time and entered the public's field of vision.
That's one of Hughes' goals.
He only hoped that the more people who pay attention to this duel, the better.
In this way, when he crushes the last dignity of the Laurent family, everyone can come and witness.
To this end, Hughes has been preparing for many years.
When he stood on the ring, he knew that the scenes he had appeared countless times in his dreams had come to reality.
One p.m.
In the sacred and fair duel venue.
In the audience seats that can accommodate thousands of people, the seats paved with gray and white marble are already full of people.
Some spectators who came late stood on the periphery without caring, forming a human wall.
On the higher seats, the nobles have already prepared positions with better viewing angles.
Demacia is very interested in this kind of duel itself, and the scene at this moment is very normal.
And today, Jiawen III also came here, sitting on the throne, witnessing the duel between this country's swordsmanship family and foreign swordsmanship family.
This is another meaning of this duel.
The Laurent family bears more than just their own reputation. As a swordsmanship family with a long history, he represents more meanings.
At this moment, this kind of pressure is all concentrated on the young people who are slowly stepping up to the ring.
In order to cope with today's duel, Amda changed into the most comfortable clothes he was wearing, and then cut his hair.
Not to get a handsome hairstyle, but not to be affected by redundant factors.
His sword has fought with him for decades, and Amda is still fully prepared before stepping into the ring.
Hughes stood across the ring.
His eyes were colder than those at the banquet that day, they were undisguised, eyes that wanted to swallow him up.
And his aura is even more different.
The sword intent condensed all over his body made Amda, who was just standing opposite, already feel a pressure.
He is strong.
Even at the banquet that day, Amda knew this, but this thought still flashed in his mind today.
"Here we come! It seems that I came just in time."
"The duel is about to begin."
"I don't know which of them will win."
"Amda is the heir of the Laurent family. I think he has full confidence to win this game."
"I don't think that's necessarily the case. That Hughes obviously made sufficient preparations before launching the challenge."
"Speaking of which, is there any grievance between them?"
"Yeah, I don't know, why did you want to start a duel with Amda?"
In the auditorium, heated discussions continued to erupt.
The sound reached Amda's ears, he slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
When he opened it again, the voices had been automatically blocked, and only his opponent was left in his eyes.
"You are indeed different from those incompetent people in the previous two days."
Hughes raised the accessories in his hand at this time, with a sneer on his face: "At least the momentum looks different."
Amda looked at him and said, "I didn't ask my clan brothers to challenge you."
"It doesn't matter, what's the point? If they don't come to me, I will come to them sooner or later. You don't think that you are the only one I want to challenge, do you?" Hughes smiled casually, his eyes became colder: "Think like this I was wrong, what I want to do is... trample the dignity of your entire Laurent family to pieces!"
Sensing the hatred surging from him, Amda didn't say much, but raised his sword and swung it twice.
"I also want to thank you for saving me a lot of trouble." Hughes continued, and said contemptuously, "But looking at it now, your Laurent family doesn't have any dignity at all."
"To be honest, I was really disappointed. I thought I would see a powerful family of swordsmanship when I came here. I didn't expect it to be a bunch of wasteful people."
He looked at Amda with a click of his tongue, raised his sword, and waved it twice: "I hope you can change my mind."
"I will."
Amda said seriously with both eyes.
Afterwards, they started pacing in circles facing each other, completing the ceremony before the duel began.
The discussion in the audience gradually became quieter as the ceremony began, and no one wanted to disturb the duelists in the ring.
And not far from the arena, a group of members of the Laurent family sat there, looking closely at the arena.
Now the duel venue is overcrowded. It's not that the Laurent family has never seen such a scene, but they rarely experience it personally.
Sebastian looked calmly at the resolute Amda on the ring.
He held his wife's hand and silently comforted her.
He will always support Amda's decision, regardless of this duel, he will win or lose.
"It's about to start."
In the auditorium on the other side, Lux poked Lu Qi's waist with his eyes closed.
Lu Qi trembled all over, opened his eyes and glared at her: "Can you call me in a normal way?"
Lux replied, "No."
Lu Qi said that she answered this wave very beautifully, so she looked at the ring.
After the last few steps of the duel ceremony, the two returned to their original positions with a bit more aggressive aura.
Both of them were fully prepared for this duel.
For this day, Hughes has been preparing for more than ten years.
He has worked hard for so long, just for today!
He wants to defeat the Laurent family under the witness of all the people in the capital!
The next moment, Hughes rushed forward with a stride, and the figure appeared in front of Amda in the blink of an eye, and the sword in his hand fell down at a faster speed.
"So fast!"
Amda's complexion remained unchanged, and the rapier stabbed out while dodging, and began to counterattack calmly and orderly.
The sword light flickering in mid-air seemed to show Amda's determination to win.
Even his opponents felt this kind of heart.
However, Hughes, who has been preparing for this for more than ten years, is weak in terms of his desire to win.
The two people who wanted to win both used their full strength at the moment the battle started.
Hughes wanted to beat Amda as fast as he could, in order to crush his dignity.
And Amda wants to prove to the world that he will restore the glory of the Laurent family, starting with the victory in this duel.
At this moment, the beliefs of the two clashed fiercely with swordsmanship.
On the arena, sword lights intersected, like lightning and flint, and sparks were even produced by friction.
The two duelists desperately wanted to defeat each other.
Every pair of eyes in the auditorium was fixed on the ring, watching this lightning-fast battle.
Feeling the sword intent emerging from Amda, Hughes swung his sword and said, "It seems that you are indeed different from those trash two days ago. Is this the sword technique of the Laurent family?"
"Yes, I." Amda looked serious.
However, before he finished speaking, the sword light flashed in his eyes, and there was a stab on his arm, and a sword mark appeared instantly, and blood spattered out.
Because of this sword, the auditorium erupted for a brief moment.
This seemingly evenly matched duel finally has a trend.
The members of the Laurent family immediately stood up and looked at the ring.
Fiona looked at the stage and clenched her fists without realizing it.
"It doesn't seem so."
Contempt appeared on Hughes' face.
Amda withdrew a distance, glanced at the wound, and his face became serious.
In his eyes, Hughes' body was suppressed by a stronger sword intent.
That sword intent made him stronger.
Already in battle, Amda sensed this.
It can't be delayed any longer, it must be resolved quickly!
Amuda realized this, let out a breath of foul air, rushed forward, and stabbed out with the sharp knife in his hand.
A white light flickered in the air, and his full-power sword appeared in front of Hughes at an extremely fast speed.
Hughes looked at the sword, and also waved the weapon in his hand.
With a sound of "铛", the two sharp blades collided, but it was Amda's full-strength sword that was bounced away.
The surprise in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"It seems that you have discovered it." Hughes looked at him and rushed forward, "You are not my opponent."
He cut out the saber in his hand, forcing Amda to back away.
At this moment, the evenly matched battle situation no longer exists.
Amda tried his best to block the opponent's attack, but soon, his right shoulder, cheek, and thigh all had sword wounds of different injuries.
There were a few strikes, if he didn't try his best to dodge them, he would die on the spot.
Amda gritted her teeth, not intending to give up.
As long as he is not dead, there is still a turning point in the battle!
The thin sword in his hand stabbed out again, and it seemed extremely fast under the blessing of the sword, but this sword stopped stiffly in mid-air.
Amda looked at the sharp blade hovering in front of his throat, unable to take another step forward.
The tip of the sharp blade had drawn a drop of bright red blood on his throat.
"You can keep going, I might lose an arm."
Hughes looked at Amuda with a sneer, and the long blade in his hand stopped firmly in the air. He looked at the man opposite him.
As long as he stabs forward a little more, he will die on the spot.
In this duel, he was allowed to do so.
Even if he killed him here, he would not face any consequences.
However, he didn't want to do that.
Hughes withdrew the long blade in his hand, looked at Amda who was powerless and knelt down in front of him, and looked down at him: "Compared with those wastes from the previous two days, you seem to be just a good-looking waste. Your The sword is so weak that I want to laugh, why don't you thank me for giving you the right to live?"
He won't kill him.
He wanted him to live in today's humiliation for the rest of his life.
Amda's clothes were blood-soaked bright red, and he knelt there in shock, the unwillingness in his heart was so powerless compared to the humiliation at this moment.
He lost.
Isn't that what a duel challenge is all about?
There is only one who can stand on the ring.
He thought that he would lose, but he never thought that it would be in such a dignified way.
He even failed to leave a wound on his opponent.
If possible, he even hoped that the sword just now could be stabbed out.
In this way, he can still close his eyes decently.
He didn't dare to look up at this moment, his figure seemed to be submerged in the sound of the boiling auditorium.
"Amu Da lost?"
"I didn't expect that Hughes would win."
"This"
"But it seems that Hughes' strength is indeed not weak."
"Is it the heir of the Laurent family? Hehe, it's ridiculous."
"It's so embarrassing to lose, tsk tsk."
In the stands and the auditorium, discussions continued to spread, and many nobles and common people couldn't believe Amda's defeat.
However, at this moment, such a fact is right in front of my eyes.
Standing in the arena is the man who came from a foreign country for revenge.
There are also some nobles with interested expressions on their faces, looking at the Laurent family on the other side of the ring.
Looking at their unbelievable expressions, they wanted to laugh.
Your only heir, your only hope, is now lost too.
Now, what else do you have to offer?
At this moment, many members of Laurent's tribe turned blue. Looking at Amda who fell on the ring, they finally showed a touch of helplessness.
They are watching this battle.
So I don't blame Amda for being weak.
A prepared opponent is indeed very powerful.
He is so familiar with the swordsmanship of the Laurent family, and he is too well prepared.
It's just that, from now on, the Laurent family may never be able to raise their heads again.
What are they trying to do?
At this moment, every member of Laurent's tribe lowered their heads.
"Did you see that? The royal capital of that year was the same as it is now. This is how my father knelt in front of your father!"
With a cheerful smile on the corner of Hughes' mouth, and excited brilliance in his eyes, he looked at the audience around him.
Amda couldn't make a sound, and loosened his clenched hands weakly.
Sebastian stepped onto the ring and helped Amda up.
Hughes looked at him and said coldly: "I did it. I gave you back the humiliation you caused my father to suffer that year. But... this is not enough. This is just the beginning. Next, I will Doubling to bring these to you."
However, Sebastian just looked at him calmly, supported Amda without saying a word, and went down the ring.
Hughes, on the other hand, raised a thumb in the direction of the Laurent family in front of the audience, and then slowly turned it down.
The corner of his mouth curled into a mocking and contemptuous smile.
Countless voices poured into Amda's ears.
His mood was almost on the verge of collapse, and he suddenly couldn't understand the meaning of his practice of swords for so many years.
For this day, to be humiliated?
It turned out that in the eyes of others, his vow to revive the Laurent family was just a joke.
The light in his eyes dimmed.
"Didn't you say, don't give up easily."
A voice sounded.
Amda stared blankly at the passing figure beside him.
Sebastian's body also paused at this moment.
In the auditorium, there was once again boiling discussions.
The members of the Laurent family couldn't sit still anymore.
"What is she going to do?"
"Haven't you lost enough face?"
"This girl!"
"Erma, bring her back!"
All eyes looked at the stage.
Hughes looked at the opposite figure, with a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? The Laurent family is no longer able to reach it, and rely on a woman to save face?"
"I, Fiona Laurent, hereby challenge you to a duel."
Fiona ignored this sentence and pointed the rapier in her hand at Hughes.
"Hahaha! Funny, so funny!"
Hughes resisted the urge to laugh, and looked at her with a look that Fiona had seen countless times, "Miss, I admit that you are beautiful. However, you should stop joking about duels. "
As he said that, his eyes turned cold: "You must know that my malice towards the Laurent family is not limited to men."
"I'm serious." Fiona looked at Hughes calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you live or die, you can refuse."
"I have no reason to reject any challenge from the Laurent family."
Hughes shook the sword in his hand, dried the blood on it, and looked at Fiona: "Since you have the courage to step into this ring, it means you are ready, right?"
Fiona didn't answer the question, she looked around.
Looking at the countless audience discussing, looking at the nobles present, looking at the incomprehensible Laurentians.
"Yeah, I'm ready," she murmured to herself.
Hughes thought she was answering his own question, and said, "Okay, I agree to your challenge."
Under the ring, members of the Laurent family were puzzled.
"Is this girl crazy? She even wants to initiate a challenge."
"Who made her do this nonsense!"
"Really, don't you think we haven't lost enough face!"
"How could she be his opponent?"
"Erma, bring your daughter back!"
Several clan elders and several clan members looked at Alma one by one, or looked at the stage, hoping that Fiona, who came to the stage without authorization, would come back.
The old man shouted, "Erma, why are you in a daze?"
Alma was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "I don't."
The old man was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
"Since that girl has made a decision, we have no reason to interfere." Alma raised her head and looked directly at the elder: "I don't want to interfere anymore."
"I think you are crazy too! How could she be someone else's opponent."
The elder Dazu looked at her unreasonably, and then at Sebastian: "Get your daughter back!"
Hearing this, Sebastian glanced at the stage, but remembered in his mind, countless days and nights, he watched his daughter silently practicing sword in secret.
Then he said, "I support her."
The elder of the great clan was stunned again, and at the same time, other clansmen were also stunned.
They want to say, these two couples are probably crazy, right?
Looking at the stage, the opponent had agreed to Fiona's duel challenge, and they immediately sat down weakly.
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
Why, a woman from the Laurent family would stand in the ring?
How long have they not let a woman come forward like this?
After a long time, several clan elders did not have such an impression.
In the auditorium, the audience was also very excited, not only because of the amazing appearance of Fiona on stage.
It's because it doesn't seem to be over yet.
They are about to witness a challenge from women to men!
"Is that the lady from the Laurent family?"
"It looks too good-looking!"
"Why did she dare to challenge Hughes?"
"Is it revenge for her brother Amda?"
"Why haven't I heard of her before? Is she amazing?"
"Where can a woman be so powerful?"
"Hiss, why do I think she looks familiar?"
In the crowd, a man with a generous figure and a bear mask showed a thoughtful expression of memory.
On the other side, looking at Fiona standing on the ring, Lacus was also completely excited.
Standing up regardless of any aristocratic self-cultivation, he waved and shouted loudly: "Fiona! Come on! Fiona! Come on!"
She was like a cheerleader, shouting hard and loudly.
Then there was Bobby, standing on the hammer, looking further away, shouting very hard.
"Can you be quiet? Don't you feel ashamed?"
On the side, Lu Qi gave her a disgusted look, then stood up, and shouted while waving: "Fiona! Come on!"
Kashina looked at them helplessly, then stood up and joined the cheering team.
The surrounding spectators moved away from each other.
On the ring, Fiona seemed to sense something, raised her eyes, and looked at one place.
Seeing Lu Qi and the others waving and shouting, a smile flashed in their eyes.
"Are you ready, ma'am?"
Hughes looked at Fiona on the opposite side, and after thinking for a long time, he still didn't say the ridicule.
Fiona looked at the rapier in her hand, and suddenly said, "I've honed this sword for 12 years."
For some reason, Hughes understood the meaning of her words, and laughed: "Coincidentally, the sword in my hand has also been sharpened for 15 years, just for this day."
"So it's time to say goodbye to the past."
Fiona shifted her gaze to her opponent, swung the rapier twice in the air, and then stood in front of her.
The elegant and calm posture, coupled with that beautiful face, immediately dazzled many people.
Even if it is her opponent, Hughes has to admit that she is as beautiful as the world-defying snow lotus, which is really rare.
The members of the Laurent family looked at her skillful posture of holding the sword, and immediately understood that she must be practicing swordsmanship secretly.
But now that she was on the stage, they had nothing to say.
According to the rules of the duel challenge, once the two parties agree to a duel, no one can stop it.
Amda stared at the stage in a daze, looking at the girl standing there clenched, a little lost in thought.
And looking at the cold look in Jian Ji's eyes, that kind of calm and calm.
Hughes' hairs suddenly stood upside down, and his gaze became serious the next moment.
Few people can bring him such a feeling.
With just one look, Hughes felt that the woman in front of him put more pressure on him than Amuda.
"Are you here to avenge Amda?"
Hughes said aloud, wanting to relieve the pressure through conversation.
He didn't understand why a woman could make him feel depressed before she started fighting.
This is very unusual.
"That's right." Fiona replied lightly: "Of course, it's more for myself. I want some old guys who don't open their eyes to see if my sword is weaker than others. "
Hughes understood: "So use me as a stepping stone?"
"You can understand it that way." Fiona didn't deny it.
"Come and see if you can chew on my hard rock."
The attitude of the woman in front of him made Hughes feel that she was more arrogant than himself. He would never allow this to happen, and he would not be anyone's stepping stone.
The sword intent of fighting against Amuda is still accumulated and has not dissipated.
She may not know that she is facing a stronger opponent than Amda.
But it doesn't matter.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, he would beat them mercilessly, and he wanted to humiliate all of Laurent's people.
When Fiona heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't say the cruel words.
In fact, in her eyes, he was not a hard rock.
Then, following the ritual of a duel, the two began pacing in a circle.
Fiona's movements are skilled and professional, as if she has practiced for a long time.
And when the two returned to their positions, it also meant that the battle had begun.
"I"
Hughes opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.
I just felt my mind tense, and the feeling of hair standing on end appeared again!
The next moment, the sword intent surged up from the opponent's body at that moment, so that he no longer cared about speaking, and rushed forward with a vigorous step.
Under the ring, all members of the Laurent family stood up and looked at the stage in disbelief.
With the long blade in Hughes's hand, he slashed straight at Fiona's heart without hesitation, and drew a cold light in mid-air, very quickly.
"This is the only sword you can swing at me."
Fiona turned sideways with a calm expression, and gently raised the rapier in her hand.
Hughes instantly felt the great danger, and instinctively retracted the long blade to block it.
This sword protected the vital point dangerously and dangerously. He opened his eyes wide, trying to see the opponent's movements clearly.
Too fast, when did that sword strike just now?
This question had just arisen, and the next moment, a stabbing white light made Hughes have to deal with the next question.
He released the sword intent all over his body, trying to counter Fiona's sword intent.
However, in just a split second, the sword intent in his body was swallowed up.
Immediately afterwards, this sword intent even made Hughes feel a suffocating sense of depression, making him feel as if his whole body was on his back.
Looking at the cold light flickering in the other party's cold eyes, he couldn't restrain the shock in his eyes.
Perfect sword intent! ?
He stepped back while parrying, unable to imagine that he would encounter a monster who had comprehended the perfection-level sword intent.
She is still so young.
With a few sounds of "shua, shua, shua", a few cold lights flashed in the air like sword flowers, so fast that it seemed that there were only afterimages.
And in this instant, Hughes found that there were two more wounds on his body.
As Fiona took a step forward, the further sense of oppression generated by the powerful Peerless Sword Intent also submerged towards Hughes like a sea wave.
She raised her hand lightly, and there were several cold lights in the air.
Hughes was forced to retreat step by step, unable to find a chance to fight back, and there were already several wounds on his body.
And soon, he realized something that frightened him a little.
That is, these wounds on his body are exactly the same as those he left on Amda's body before!
Just when he realized this, his heart trembled suddenly, and a feeling of being enveloped by sword intent emerged.
He looked at Fiona who was holding a sword opposite, and felt that he was completely seen through by her.
The thin sword in Fiona's hand seemed to be shining with a dazzling white light.
Hughes' brain was running rapidly at this moment, which direction would her next sword come from?
With a sound of "Puff", there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he suddenly realized that Fiona had disappeared in front of him.
He immediately felt bad, turned around suddenly, and suddenly found that a thin sword had stopped at his throat, and a drop of bright red blood appeared.
One more step forward, and he would die on the spot.
Obviously the sword hadn't pierced yet, but Hughes already had a feeling of being pierced.
"While you are thinking about this question, my sword has already been released."
Fiona looked calmly at Hughes who was in disbelief.
Same scene, same scene, just different characters.
At this moment, even the audience was silent.
Is the battle over?
Under the ring, everyone in the Laurent family looked dull.
Looking at Fiona holding a sword on the ring, Amda's eyes that were about to go out were ignited again.
He thought back then, that stubborn little girl who asked him to learn sword.
Now, that girl is standing proudly on the stage, her figure is so beautiful.
Isn't this the meaning of his sword practice?
Also at this moment, the auditorium boiled up!
"She actually won?!"
"Miss Laurent is amazing!"
"What a fast sword, what a handsome sword!"
"Has this duel started for a minute?"
"To be honest, this is the most shocking duel I have ever seen."
"Elegant, so elegant!"
"It feels like she won, so relaxed!"
"That Hughes lost so quickly?"
Countless voices of discussion sounded, until now, everyone's voice was full of surprise.
Just as no one thought that Amda would lose, Hughes' defeat this time also made them feel unimaginable.
Moreover, the defeat was too fast, and I am afraid that not a minute has passed since the duel started.
The incomparable elegance and strength of the sword girl this time left an indelible impression on the people in the audience.
And in the noble seats, looking at the sassy sword girl on the stage, people seemed to recall Sebastian, who had one person and one sword back then.
No, even, the shock that Sword Fairy brought to them is far greater than that of Sebastian back then.
Her sword looks more gorgeous, more graceful, more deadly and powerful!
This this this.
A second ago, they felt that the Laurent family was going to die.
Why did this turn around and Fiona appeared?
Is this the big move they have been holding back for a long time?
However, the nobles soon discovered that many members of the Laurent family had blank expressions, indicating that they did not know about it.
Today is really an eye-opener!
"Did you see it! So handsome!"
In the audience, Lacus tugged at Lu Qi's sleeve excitedly, as excited as if she was the one standing on the ring at the moment.
"I'm not blind, I see it." Lu Qi looked at her speechlessly, and his eyes fell on the ring.
Looking at Fiona holding the sword, she thought thoughtfully.
When did this little sword girl quietly hold back a perfect level sword intent?
Perfect level Wushuang Sword Intent, that is a qualitative change.
on the ring.
"You spare his life, I spare your life."
After Fiona finished speaking, she withdrew her rapier.
Houston fell to the ground, panting, feeling as if he had regained his life. He looked at Fiona in front of him, still in disbelief: "Are you really from the Laurent family?"
why?
The Laurent swordsmanship he felt when he confronted this sword girl was completely different?
So this is the real Laurent swordsmanship?
Gorgeous, graceful, powerful.
As a personal experiencer, he has never seen such a sword skill.
"Fiona Laurent."
Fiona said her name again, then bowed gracefully, turned around and walked down the ring.
She headed in the direction of the Laurent family.
Alma rushed up, and hugged her in her arms with concern: "You girl, just forget about scaring me to death."
Although she said that just now, until now, her heart is still trembling.
Feeling her mother's concern, Fiona's mouth curled into a smile.
Amda, who hadn't even finished bandaging the wound on her body, looked at her at this time and said, "You really surprised me."
Fiona smiled: "It seems that my goal has been achieved."
She glanced at her brother, then at her father.
Sebastian's eyes fell on her very gently, with kindness shining in them.
Fiona knew that for so many years, her father had actually been giving silently behind the scenes.
In fact, he already knew that she was practicing sword secretly.
However, he never stopped or said anything.
At this time, the elder Dazu stepped forward and couldn't help but ask, "Did you just use the Consummation-level sword intent?"
"Yes."
Fiona echoed curtly.
"Oh." Dazu nodded dully, forgetting what to ask next.
The old man of the second clan stepped forward: "When did you practice the sword?"
Fiona replied again: "When I was a child, it never stopped."
"This..." The old people of the two clans thought about it, and suddenly clapped their hands: "Well practiced! Since I was a child, I have seen your girl do things well. Back then, you were not allowed to practice swords, just to hone your mind."
The elders of the three clans stepped forward: "Yes, yes, I hope you don't mind."
"I mind very much." Fiona said bluntly with a smile.
If she hadn't shown her hand today, she wouldn't have known that these clan elders still had two faces.
Her straightforward answer made the three clan elders look embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
However, the other clansmen who quickly gathered around washed away the embarrassment, and Fiona was surrounded by a lot of questions from them.
"I'm tired, let's say goodbye."
Fiona, on the other hand, ignored all these questions and walked out of the crowd coldly.
However, her arrogance at the moment made every clansman behind her who looked at each other lose their temper.
But their mood at the moment must be good.
Never expected that the last face of the Laurent family was saved by a female doll.
Thinking of how they felt that Fiona was not good at practicing swords before, they felt ashamed.
Damn me!
Consummation-level sword intent, how many people can comprehend this in the entire history of the Laurent family?
How old is Fiona, less than 20 years old!
The 19-year-old Consummation-level Sword Intent.
Wow.
Could it be that they were blind at the beginning and missed such a treasure.
The three clan elders sat in a row, silently looking at their feet, and suddenly had the urge to slap themselves.
"Second brother, tell me, are we getting old?"
"Yeah, I feel out of step with the times."
"Why don't we get involved in family matters less in the future?"
"I think so too. This time it was a painful lesson for me. Without this doll, our Laurent family might not even be able to hold their heads up."
"I think it's not too late for us to retire after we've worked hard on her marriage."
"Indeed, such an excellent female doll, why not find an even better male doll?"
The three old men spoke one sentence at a time and began to discuss.
On the ring, Hughes, who was unsupported, got up alone and walked towards the ring silently.
As the protagonist a few minutes ago, he has been completely forgotten.
She had prepared revenge for so long, but she never expected that today, she would become her.
However, there was nothing he could do.
That doomsday minute in the ring made him see clearly the gap between him and her.
He silently clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with unwillingness. Could it be that his father's hatred just gave up like this?
One of the exits from the dueling arena, the emissary of Skagorn stood waiting.
Looking at Hughes who walked out with a gloomy face covering his wound, he said, "This time you initiated a duel challenge without authorization and caused such a big commotion. You will be punished after returning home."
"casual."
Hughes walked out with a cold face.
Watching him walk past him, the envoy thought for a while, and said, "It seems that your obsession is very deep, but I think there is something that you should know about."
Hughes stopped, turned his back to him, and waited for the next article.
"Back then, you only saw Sebastian humiliating your father after the duel. But do you know why he did this?"
The envoy said slowly.
Hughes turned around and stared at the envoy.
Looking at him, the envoy said, "It was your father who first humiliated his wife."
In one sentence, Hughes was stunned as if struck by lightning, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"At the welcome reception, Sebastian was in charge of receiving the envoys of Skaguen. As the representative of the envoys, after drinking a few bottles of wine, your father humiliated Sebastian's wife, and I still want to touch her."
"The challenge came after that. After your father returned to China, Wuyan continued to work and resigned on his own initiative. At the beginning, in order to maintain the dignity of Skaguen, he only called it a challenge."
The envoy calmly revealed the truth of the year.
Hughes, who learned all this, was completely stunned on the spot. His belief in life seemed to have collapsed at this moment.
In this way, does his revenge seem so ridiculous?
"If I knew that you would do this when you came to Debon, I wouldn't bring you here."
The envoy looked at him in a daze, and sighed: "I think you should let go of the past. I don't want to see an excellent swordsman continue to be blinded by wrong hatred. For this matter, regardless of today's duel Whether you win or lose, I will tell you. I just choose to say it now so as not to interfere with your state."
"I think it's time for you to find a new direction for yourself."
Hughes listened to this in a daze.
He suddenly felt that his life was like a joke.
The sword that has been sharpened for 15 years turned out to be wrong.
Think of the words I said before.
Nima, how embarrassing.
Return home, return home quickly!
He didn't want to stay in Demacia for a second.
(End of this chapter)
Laurent family, practice room.
Amda held a thin blade in his hand, and aimed at the opposite dummy, stabbing continuously, the sharp sword shadow flickered in the air, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
At this time, he heard footsteps, and he stopped slowly.
Then, looking at the person who came, there was a little more helplessness on his face, and he also complained in his heart: "They look down on others, but at the same time they don't believe me, and they ended up like this in the end."
"The older you get, the less courage you have. Now they value reputation more than their lives, but they seem to have forgotten that reputation doesn't come from this way."
Fiona sat on a chair not far away, and said, "I'm going to watch the duel this afternoon."
Amda heard the words and asked, "Is he very strong?"
Fiona nodded lightly: "His sword intent is very powerful."
"Really." Amda wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled: "It seems like an opponent worthy of going all out."
While speaking, he swung his sword at the dummy again.
At this moment, Fiona noticed that there seemed to be a certain determination in him.
She looked at it, and couldn't help but go back to 12 years ago.
"It's too difficult, why do adults always like to practice this?"
She threw the heavy and long sword in her hand on the ground and asked puzzledly.
"Maybe it's because he's handsome!"
As Amda said, he made a handsome gesture of raising his sword.
She asked curiously: "What about you? Do you like to practice this because you are handsome?"
Amda thought about it seriously: "Handsomeness is just one aspect. I like to practice this because I decided to do it very early. I want to revive the glory of the Laurent family!"
He said so with a very majestic figure.
"I thought you were trying to attract those girls and kiss them on the mouth," she said.
Amda's face turned dark, and he quickly looked around: "Shh, didn't you promise me not to talk about it?"
She blinked and said with a smile, "There's no one around, so what are you afraid of?"
Amda looked at her seriously: "In short, don't talk about this matter again, otherwise I won't teach you sword skills in the future."
"Cut." She curled her lips: "I don't care about practicing."
"Fiona, once you have decided on one thing, don't give up easily." Amda still looked at her with a serious face: "Otherwise, you will never be able to truly resist them."
That sword is very heavy.
But Fiona picked it up again.
"Have you been practicing swords recently?"
Amda's figure brought Fiona back from her memory.
Fiona nodded.
"Really, if you think about it carefully, we haven't fought for a long time, right?"
Amda smiled and looked at her grown-up sister, "I'll see if you have become stronger when I have time some other day."
Fiona said, "It must surprise you."
"You've surprised me a lot."
Wiping off his sweat again, Amda looked at the sky outside, walked out and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
Fiona said "hmm".
Amda walked to the door, stopped again, looked back at her, wanted to say something, but just smiled, and then walked out.
After walking out of the sword training room, his gaze became very firm.
Tomorrow's duel, he must win.
Not only because he is now the last hope of the Laurent family.
It was because if he couldn't keep winning, he wouldn't be able to change his sister's fate in front of those people.
Fiona watched his leaving back, stood up, came to the weapon rack, pulled out a thin blade from it, set her gaze on it, and watched quietly.
The next day.
News from Quinn.
"Your Highness, at one o'clock last night, they went to the forest the night before again. Then at about three o'clock, they entered a cave, and then came out half an hour later. According to my observation, there was nothing extra on the three of them. .”
Quinn slowly recounted what he saw after following up last night.
Lu Qi heard the words and asked, "Did you go into the cave to see?"
Quinn replied: "After they left, I went in and checked, and found that the space inside was not large, and there was nothing there."
After listening, Lu Qi thought silently.
According to Quinn's follow-up in the past two days, it can be basically confirmed that Panisi and her uncle are looking for something.
But judging from today's appearance, they seem to have confirmed their position.
In a small cave with nothing in it, three people went in for half an hour before coming out.
No matter how he thought about it, Lu Qi felt that there was only one possibility.
That is, there are probably other caves in the cave.
Yesterday in the afternoon, Panisi came to play for a while, but she went back after a while, and she didn't show any abnormality.
After thinking about it, Lu Qi decided, if that's the case, he'll go and see for himself after tonight.
He is still quite curious about this matter.
Today, there is another hot issue that has caused discussions all over the city.
That was the duel between Hughes, the envoy from Skaguen, and Amda, the eldest son and next successor of the Laurent family.
Amda, as a well-known swordsman on the sword hall list, is also well-known in the capital.
And in the aristocratic circle, he is naturally very famous.
Heralded as the hope of reviving the Laurent family.
And Hughes also defeated five Laurent family challengers in a row in the past two days, which allowed him to gain a lot of attention in a very short period of time and entered the public's field of vision.
That's one of Hughes' goals.
He only hoped that the more people who pay attention to this duel, the better.
In this way, when he crushes the last dignity of the Laurent family, everyone can come and witness.
To this end, Hughes has been preparing for many years.
When he stood on the ring, he knew that the scenes he had appeared countless times in his dreams had come to reality.
One p.m.
In the sacred and fair duel venue.
In the audience seats that can accommodate thousands of people, the seats paved with gray and white marble are already full of people.
Some spectators who came late stood on the periphery without caring, forming a human wall.
On the higher seats, the nobles have already prepared positions with better viewing angles.
Demacia is very interested in this kind of duel itself, and the scene at this moment is very normal.
And today, Jiawen III also came here, sitting on the throne, witnessing the duel between this country's swordsmanship family and foreign swordsmanship family.
This is another meaning of this duel.
The Laurent family bears more than just their own reputation. As a swordsmanship family with a long history, he represents more meanings.
At this moment, this kind of pressure is all concentrated on the young people who are slowly stepping up to the ring.
In order to cope with today's duel, Amda changed into the most comfortable clothes he was wearing, and then cut his hair.
Not to get a handsome hairstyle, but not to be affected by redundant factors.
His sword has fought with him for decades, and Amda is still fully prepared before stepping into the ring.
Hughes stood across the ring.
His eyes were colder than those at the banquet that day, they were undisguised, eyes that wanted to swallow him up.
And his aura is even more different.
The sword intent condensed all over his body made Amda, who was just standing opposite, already feel a pressure.
He is strong.
Even at the banquet that day, Amda knew this, but this thought still flashed in his mind today.
"Here we come! It seems that I came just in time."
"The duel is about to begin."
"I don't know which of them will win."
"Amda is the heir of the Laurent family. I think he has full confidence to win this game."
"I don't think that's necessarily the case. That Hughes obviously made sufficient preparations before launching the challenge."
"Speaking of which, is there any grievance between them?"
"Yeah, I don't know, why did you want to start a duel with Amda?"
In the auditorium, heated discussions continued to erupt.
The sound reached Amda's ears, he slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
When he opened it again, the voices had been automatically blocked, and only his opponent was left in his eyes.
"You are indeed different from those incompetent people in the previous two days."
Hughes raised the accessories in his hand at this time, with a sneer on his face: "At least the momentum looks different."
Amda looked at him and said, "I didn't ask my clan brothers to challenge you."
"It doesn't matter, what's the point? If they don't come to me, I will come to them sooner or later. You don't think that you are the only one I want to challenge, do you?" Hughes smiled casually, his eyes became colder: "Think like this I was wrong, what I want to do is... trample the dignity of your entire Laurent family to pieces!"
Sensing the hatred surging from him, Amda didn't say much, but raised his sword and swung it twice.
"I also want to thank you for saving me a lot of trouble." Hughes continued, and said contemptuously, "But looking at it now, your Laurent family doesn't have any dignity at all."
"To be honest, I was really disappointed. I thought I would see a powerful family of swordsmanship when I came here. I didn't expect it to be a bunch of wasteful people."
He looked at Amda with a click of his tongue, raised his sword, and waved it twice: "I hope you can change my mind."
"I will."
Amda said seriously with both eyes.
Afterwards, they started pacing in circles facing each other, completing the ceremony before the duel began.
The discussion in the audience gradually became quieter as the ceremony began, and no one wanted to disturb the duelists in the ring.
And not far from the arena, a group of members of the Laurent family sat there, looking closely at the arena.
Now the duel venue is overcrowded. It's not that the Laurent family has never seen such a scene, but they rarely experience it personally.
Sebastian looked calmly at the resolute Amda on the ring.
He held his wife's hand and silently comforted her.
He will always support Amda's decision, regardless of this duel, he will win or lose.
"It's about to start."
In the auditorium on the other side, Lux poked Lu Qi's waist with his eyes closed.
Lu Qi trembled all over, opened his eyes and glared at her: "Can you call me in a normal way?"
Lux replied, "No."
Lu Qi said that she answered this wave very beautifully, so she looked at the ring.
After the last few steps of the duel ceremony, the two returned to their original positions with a bit more aggressive aura.
Both of them were fully prepared for this duel.
For this day, Hughes has been preparing for more than ten years.
He has worked hard for so long, just for today!
He wants to defeat the Laurent family under the witness of all the people in the capital!
The next moment, Hughes rushed forward with a stride, and the figure appeared in front of Amda in the blink of an eye, and the sword in his hand fell down at a faster speed.
"So fast!"
Amda's complexion remained unchanged, and the rapier stabbed out while dodging, and began to counterattack calmly and orderly.
The sword light flickering in mid-air seemed to show Amda's determination to win.
Even his opponents felt this kind of heart.
However, Hughes, who has been preparing for this for more than ten years, is weak in terms of his desire to win.
The two people who wanted to win both used their full strength at the moment the battle started.
Hughes wanted to beat Amda as fast as he could, in order to crush his dignity.
And Amda wants to prove to the world that he will restore the glory of the Laurent family, starting with the victory in this duel.
At this moment, the beliefs of the two clashed fiercely with swordsmanship.
On the arena, sword lights intersected, like lightning and flint, and sparks were even produced by friction.
The two duelists desperately wanted to defeat each other.
Every pair of eyes in the auditorium was fixed on the ring, watching this lightning-fast battle.
Feeling the sword intent emerging from Amda, Hughes swung his sword and said, "It seems that you are indeed different from those trash two days ago. Is this the sword technique of the Laurent family?"
"Yes, I." Amda looked serious.
However, before he finished speaking, the sword light flashed in his eyes, and there was a stab on his arm, and a sword mark appeared instantly, and blood spattered out.
Because of this sword, the auditorium erupted for a brief moment.
This seemingly evenly matched duel finally has a trend.
The members of the Laurent family immediately stood up and looked at the ring.
Fiona looked at the stage and clenched her fists without realizing it.
"It doesn't seem so."
Contempt appeared on Hughes' face.
Amda withdrew a distance, glanced at the wound, and his face became serious.
In his eyes, Hughes' body was suppressed by a stronger sword intent.
That sword intent made him stronger.
Already in battle, Amda sensed this.
It can't be delayed any longer, it must be resolved quickly!
Amuda realized this, let out a breath of foul air, rushed forward, and stabbed out with the sharp knife in his hand.
A white light flickered in the air, and his full-power sword appeared in front of Hughes at an extremely fast speed.
Hughes looked at the sword, and also waved the weapon in his hand.
With a sound of "铛", the two sharp blades collided, but it was Amda's full-strength sword that was bounced away.
The surprise in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"It seems that you have discovered it." Hughes looked at him and rushed forward, "You are not my opponent."
He cut out the saber in his hand, forcing Amda to back away.
At this moment, the evenly matched battle situation no longer exists.
Amda tried his best to block the opponent's attack, but soon, his right shoulder, cheek, and thigh all had sword wounds of different injuries.
There were a few strikes, if he didn't try his best to dodge them, he would die on the spot.
Amda gritted her teeth, not intending to give up.
As long as he is not dead, there is still a turning point in the battle!
The thin sword in his hand stabbed out again, and it seemed extremely fast under the blessing of the sword, but this sword stopped stiffly in mid-air.
Amda looked at the sharp blade hovering in front of his throat, unable to take another step forward.
The tip of the sharp blade had drawn a drop of bright red blood on his throat.
"You can keep going, I might lose an arm."
Hughes looked at Amuda with a sneer, and the long blade in his hand stopped firmly in the air. He looked at the man opposite him.
As long as he stabs forward a little more, he will die on the spot.
In this duel, he was allowed to do so.
Even if he killed him here, he would not face any consequences.
However, he didn't want to do that.
Hughes withdrew the long blade in his hand, looked at Amda who was powerless and knelt down in front of him, and looked down at him: "Compared with those wastes from the previous two days, you seem to be just a good-looking waste. Your The sword is so weak that I want to laugh, why don't you thank me for giving you the right to live?"
He won't kill him.
He wanted him to live in today's humiliation for the rest of his life.
Amda's clothes were blood-soaked bright red, and he knelt there in shock, the unwillingness in his heart was so powerless compared to the humiliation at this moment.
He lost.
Isn't that what a duel challenge is all about?
There is only one who can stand on the ring.
He thought that he would lose, but he never thought that it would be in such a dignified way.
He even failed to leave a wound on his opponent.
If possible, he even hoped that the sword just now could be stabbed out.
In this way, he can still close his eyes decently.
He didn't dare to look up at this moment, his figure seemed to be submerged in the sound of the boiling auditorium.
"Amu Da lost?"
"I didn't expect that Hughes would win."
"This"
"But it seems that Hughes' strength is indeed not weak."
"Is it the heir of the Laurent family? Hehe, it's ridiculous."
"It's so embarrassing to lose, tsk tsk."
In the stands and the auditorium, discussions continued to spread, and many nobles and common people couldn't believe Amda's defeat.
However, at this moment, such a fact is right in front of my eyes.
Standing in the arena is the man who came from a foreign country for revenge.
There are also some nobles with interested expressions on their faces, looking at the Laurent family on the other side of the ring.
Looking at their unbelievable expressions, they wanted to laugh.
Your only heir, your only hope, is now lost too.
Now, what else do you have to offer?
At this moment, many members of Laurent's tribe turned blue. Looking at Amda who fell on the ring, they finally showed a touch of helplessness.
They are watching this battle.
So I don't blame Amda for being weak.
A prepared opponent is indeed very powerful.
He is so familiar with the swordsmanship of the Laurent family, and he is too well prepared.
It's just that, from now on, the Laurent family may never be able to raise their heads again.
What are they trying to do?
At this moment, every member of Laurent's tribe lowered their heads.
"Did you see that? The royal capital of that year was the same as it is now. This is how my father knelt in front of your father!"
With a cheerful smile on the corner of Hughes' mouth, and excited brilliance in his eyes, he looked at the audience around him.
Amda couldn't make a sound, and loosened his clenched hands weakly.
Sebastian stepped onto the ring and helped Amda up.
Hughes looked at him and said coldly: "I did it. I gave you back the humiliation you caused my father to suffer that year. But... this is not enough. This is just the beginning. Next, I will Doubling to bring these to you."
However, Sebastian just looked at him calmly, supported Amda without saying a word, and went down the ring.
Hughes, on the other hand, raised a thumb in the direction of the Laurent family in front of the audience, and then slowly turned it down.
The corner of his mouth curled into a mocking and contemptuous smile.
Countless voices poured into Amda's ears.
His mood was almost on the verge of collapse, and he suddenly couldn't understand the meaning of his practice of swords for so many years.
For this day, to be humiliated?
It turned out that in the eyes of others, his vow to revive the Laurent family was just a joke.
The light in his eyes dimmed.
"Didn't you say, don't give up easily."
A voice sounded.
Amda stared blankly at the passing figure beside him.
Sebastian's body also paused at this moment.
In the auditorium, there was once again boiling discussions.
The members of the Laurent family couldn't sit still anymore.
"What is she going to do?"
"Haven't you lost enough face?"
"This girl!"
"Erma, bring her back!"
All eyes looked at the stage.
Hughes looked at the opposite figure, with a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? The Laurent family is no longer able to reach it, and rely on a woman to save face?"
"I, Fiona Laurent, hereby challenge you to a duel."
Fiona ignored this sentence and pointed the rapier in her hand at Hughes.
"Hahaha! Funny, so funny!"
Hughes resisted the urge to laugh, and looked at her with a look that Fiona had seen countless times, "Miss, I admit that you are beautiful. However, you should stop joking about duels. "
As he said that, his eyes turned cold: "You must know that my malice towards the Laurent family is not limited to men."
"I'm serious." Fiona looked at Hughes calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you live or die, you can refuse."
"I have no reason to reject any challenge from the Laurent family."
Hughes shook the sword in his hand, dried the blood on it, and looked at Fiona: "Since you have the courage to step into this ring, it means you are ready, right?"
Fiona didn't answer the question, she looked around.
Looking at the countless audience discussing, looking at the nobles present, looking at the incomprehensible Laurentians.
"Yeah, I'm ready," she murmured to herself.
Hughes thought she was answering his own question, and said, "Okay, I agree to your challenge."
Under the ring, members of the Laurent family were puzzled.
"Is this girl crazy? She even wants to initiate a challenge."
"Who made her do this nonsense!"
"Really, don't you think we haven't lost enough face!"
"How could she be his opponent?"
"Erma, bring your daughter back!"
Several clan elders and several clan members looked at Alma one by one, or looked at the stage, hoping that Fiona, who came to the stage without authorization, would come back.
The old man shouted, "Erma, why are you in a daze?"
Alma was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "I don't."
The old man was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
"Since that girl has made a decision, we have no reason to interfere." Alma raised her head and looked directly at the elder: "I don't want to interfere anymore."
"I think you are crazy too! How could she be someone else's opponent."
The elder Dazu looked at her unreasonably, and then at Sebastian: "Get your daughter back!"
Hearing this, Sebastian glanced at the stage, but remembered in his mind, countless days and nights, he watched his daughter silently practicing sword in secret.
Then he said, "I support her."
The elder of the great clan was stunned again, and at the same time, other clansmen were also stunned.
They want to say, these two couples are probably crazy, right?
Looking at the stage, the opponent had agreed to Fiona's duel challenge, and they immediately sat down weakly.
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
Why, a woman from the Laurent family would stand in the ring?
How long have they not let a woman come forward like this?
After a long time, several clan elders did not have such an impression.
In the auditorium, the audience was also very excited, not only because of the amazing appearance of Fiona on stage.
It's because it doesn't seem to be over yet.
They are about to witness a challenge from women to men!
"Is that the lady from the Laurent family?"
"It looks too good-looking!"
"Why did she dare to challenge Hughes?"
"Is it revenge for her brother Amda?"
"Why haven't I heard of her before? Is she amazing?"
"Where can a woman be so powerful?"
"Hiss, why do I think she looks familiar?"
In the crowd, a man with a generous figure and a bear mask showed a thoughtful expression of memory.
On the other side, looking at Fiona standing on the ring, Lacus was also completely excited.
Standing up regardless of any aristocratic self-cultivation, he waved and shouted loudly: "Fiona! Come on! Fiona! Come on!"
She was like a cheerleader, shouting hard and loudly.
Then there was Bobby, standing on the hammer, looking further away, shouting very hard.
"Can you be quiet? Don't you feel ashamed?"
On the side, Lu Qi gave her a disgusted look, then stood up, and shouted while waving: "Fiona! Come on!"
Kashina looked at them helplessly, then stood up and joined the cheering team.
The surrounding spectators moved away from each other.
On the ring, Fiona seemed to sense something, raised her eyes, and looked at one place.
Seeing Lu Qi and the others waving and shouting, a smile flashed in their eyes.
"Are you ready, ma'am?"
Hughes looked at Fiona on the opposite side, and after thinking for a long time, he still didn't say the ridicule.
Fiona looked at the rapier in her hand, and suddenly said, "I've honed this sword for 12 years."
For some reason, Hughes understood the meaning of her words, and laughed: "Coincidentally, the sword in my hand has also been sharpened for 15 years, just for this day."
"So it's time to say goodbye to the past."
Fiona shifted her gaze to her opponent, swung the rapier twice in the air, and then stood in front of her.
The elegant and calm posture, coupled with that beautiful face, immediately dazzled many people.
Even if it is her opponent, Hughes has to admit that she is as beautiful as the world-defying snow lotus, which is really rare.
The members of the Laurent family looked at her skillful posture of holding the sword, and immediately understood that she must be practicing swordsmanship secretly.
But now that she was on the stage, they had nothing to say.
According to the rules of the duel challenge, once the two parties agree to a duel, no one can stop it.
Amda stared at the stage in a daze, looking at the girl standing there clenched, a little lost in thought.
And looking at the cold look in Jian Ji's eyes, that kind of calm and calm.
Hughes' hairs suddenly stood upside down, and his gaze became serious the next moment.
Few people can bring him such a feeling.
With just one look, Hughes felt that the woman in front of him put more pressure on him than Amuda.
"Are you here to avenge Amda?"
Hughes said aloud, wanting to relieve the pressure through conversation.
He didn't understand why a woman could make him feel depressed before she started fighting.
This is very unusual.
"That's right." Fiona replied lightly: "Of course, it's more for myself. I want some old guys who don't open their eyes to see if my sword is weaker than others. "
Hughes understood: "So use me as a stepping stone?"
"You can understand it that way." Fiona didn't deny it.
"Come and see if you can chew on my hard rock."
The attitude of the woman in front of him made Hughes feel that she was more arrogant than himself. He would never allow this to happen, and he would not be anyone's stepping stone.
The sword intent of fighting against Amuda is still accumulated and has not dissipated.
She may not know that she is facing a stronger opponent than Amda.
But it doesn't matter.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, he would beat them mercilessly, and he wanted to humiliate all of Laurent's people.
When Fiona heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't say the cruel words.
In fact, in her eyes, he was not a hard rock.
Then, following the ritual of a duel, the two began pacing in a circle.
Fiona's movements are skilled and professional, as if she has practiced for a long time.
And when the two returned to their positions, it also meant that the battle had begun.
"I"
Hughes opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.
I just felt my mind tense, and the feeling of hair standing on end appeared again!
The next moment, the sword intent surged up from the opponent's body at that moment, so that he no longer cared about speaking, and rushed forward with a vigorous step.
Under the ring, all members of the Laurent family stood up and looked at the stage in disbelief.
With the long blade in Hughes's hand, he slashed straight at Fiona's heart without hesitation, and drew a cold light in mid-air, very quickly.
"This is the only sword you can swing at me."
Fiona turned sideways with a calm expression, and gently raised the rapier in her hand.
Hughes instantly felt the great danger, and instinctively retracted the long blade to block it.
This sword protected the vital point dangerously and dangerously. He opened his eyes wide, trying to see the opponent's movements clearly.
Too fast, when did that sword strike just now?
This question had just arisen, and the next moment, a stabbing white light made Hughes have to deal with the next question.
He released the sword intent all over his body, trying to counter Fiona's sword intent.
However, in just a split second, the sword intent in his body was swallowed up.
Immediately afterwards, this sword intent even made Hughes feel a suffocating sense of depression, making him feel as if his whole body was on his back.
Looking at the cold light flickering in the other party's cold eyes, he couldn't restrain the shock in his eyes.
Perfect sword intent! ?
He stepped back while parrying, unable to imagine that he would encounter a monster who had comprehended the perfection-level sword intent.
She is still so young.
With a few sounds of "shua, shua, shua", a few cold lights flashed in the air like sword flowers, so fast that it seemed that there were only afterimages.
And in this instant, Hughes found that there were two more wounds on his body.
As Fiona took a step forward, the further sense of oppression generated by the powerful Peerless Sword Intent also submerged towards Hughes like a sea wave.
She raised her hand lightly, and there were several cold lights in the air.
Hughes was forced to retreat step by step, unable to find a chance to fight back, and there were already several wounds on his body.
And soon, he realized something that frightened him a little.
That is, these wounds on his body are exactly the same as those he left on Amda's body before!
Just when he realized this, his heart trembled suddenly, and a feeling of being enveloped by sword intent emerged.
He looked at Fiona who was holding a sword opposite, and felt that he was completely seen through by her.
The thin sword in Fiona's hand seemed to be shining with a dazzling white light.
Hughes' brain was running rapidly at this moment, which direction would her next sword come from?
With a sound of "Puff", there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he suddenly realized that Fiona had disappeared in front of him.
He immediately felt bad, turned around suddenly, and suddenly found that a thin sword had stopped at his throat, and a drop of bright red blood appeared.
One more step forward, and he would die on the spot.
Obviously the sword hadn't pierced yet, but Hughes already had a feeling of being pierced.
"While you are thinking about this question, my sword has already been released."
Fiona looked calmly at Hughes who was in disbelief.
Same scene, same scene, just different characters.
At this moment, even the audience was silent.
Is the battle over?
Under the ring, everyone in the Laurent family looked dull.
Looking at Fiona holding a sword on the ring, Amda's eyes that were about to go out were ignited again.
He thought back then, that stubborn little girl who asked him to learn sword.
Now, that girl is standing proudly on the stage, her figure is so beautiful.
Isn't this the meaning of his sword practice?
Also at this moment, the auditorium boiled up!
"She actually won?!"
"Miss Laurent is amazing!"
"What a fast sword, what a handsome sword!"
"Has this duel started for a minute?"
"To be honest, this is the most shocking duel I have ever seen."
"Elegant, so elegant!"
"It feels like she won, so relaxed!"
"That Hughes lost so quickly?"
Countless voices of discussion sounded, until now, everyone's voice was full of surprise.
Just as no one thought that Amda would lose, Hughes' defeat this time also made them feel unimaginable.
Moreover, the defeat was too fast, and I am afraid that not a minute has passed since the duel started.
The incomparable elegance and strength of the sword girl this time left an indelible impression on the people in the audience.
And in the noble seats, looking at the sassy sword girl on the stage, people seemed to recall Sebastian, who had one person and one sword back then.
No, even, the shock that Sword Fairy brought to them is far greater than that of Sebastian back then.
Her sword looks more gorgeous, more graceful, more deadly and powerful!
This this this.
A second ago, they felt that the Laurent family was going to die.
Why did this turn around and Fiona appeared?
Is this the big move they have been holding back for a long time?
However, the nobles soon discovered that many members of the Laurent family had blank expressions, indicating that they did not know about it.
Today is really an eye-opener!
"Did you see it! So handsome!"
In the audience, Lacus tugged at Lu Qi's sleeve excitedly, as excited as if she was the one standing on the ring at the moment.
"I'm not blind, I see it." Lu Qi looked at her speechlessly, and his eyes fell on the ring.
Looking at Fiona holding the sword, she thought thoughtfully.
When did this little sword girl quietly hold back a perfect level sword intent?
Perfect level Wushuang Sword Intent, that is a qualitative change.
on the ring.
"You spare his life, I spare your life."
After Fiona finished speaking, she withdrew her rapier.
Houston fell to the ground, panting, feeling as if he had regained his life. He looked at Fiona in front of him, still in disbelief: "Are you really from the Laurent family?"
why?
The Laurent swordsmanship he felt when he confronted this sword girl was completely different?
So this is the real Laurent swordsmanship?
Gorgeous, graceful, powerful.
As a personal experiencer, he has never seen such a sword skill.
"Fiona Laurent."
Fiona said her name again, then bowed gracefully, turned around and walked down the ring.
She headed in the direction of the Laurent family.
Alma rushed up, and hugged her in her arms with concern: "You girl, just forget about scaring me to death."
Although she said that just now, until now, her heart is still trembling.
Feeling her mother's concern, Fiona's mouth curled into a smile.
Amda, who hadn't even finished bandaging the wound on her body, looked at her at this time and said, "You really surprised me."
Fiona smiled: "It seems that my goal has been achieved."
She glanced at her brother, then at her father.
Sebastian's eyes fell on her very gently, with kindness shining in them.
Fiona knew that for so many years, her father had actually been giving silently behind the scenes.
In fact, he already knew that she was practicing sword secretly.
However, he never stopped or said anything.
At this time, the elder Dazu stepped forward and couldn't help but ask, "Did you just use the Consummation-level sword intent?"
"Yes."
Fiona echoed curtly.
"Oh." Dazu nodded dully, forgetting what to ask next.
The old man of the second clan stepped forward: "When did you practice the sword?"
Fiona replied again: "When I was a child, it never stopped."
"This..." The old people of the two clans thought about it, and suddenly clapped their hands: "Well practiced! Since I was a child, I have seen your girl do things well. Back then, you were not allowed to practice swords, just to hone your mind."
The elders of the three clans stepped forward: "Yes, yes, I hope you don't mind."
"I mind very much." Fiona said bluntly with a smile.
If she hadn't shown her hand today, she wouldn't have known that these clan elders still had two faces.
Her straightforward answer made the three clan elders look embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
However, the other clansmen who quickly gathered around washed away the embarrassment, and Fiona was surrounded by a lot of questions from them.
"I'm tired, let's say goodbye."
Fiona, on the other hand, ignored all these questions and walked out of the crowd coldly.
However, her arrogance at the moment made every clansman behind her who looked at each other lose their temper.
But their mood at the moment must be good.
Never expected that the last face of the Laurent family was saved by a female doll.
Thinking of how they felt that Fiona was not good at practicing swords before, they felt ashamed.
Damn me!
Consummation-level sword intent, how many people can comprehend this in the entire history of the Laurent family?
How old is Fiona, less than 20 years old!
The 19-year-old Consummation-level Sword Intent.
Wow.
Could it be that they were blind at the beginning and missed such a treasure.
The three clan elders sat in a row, silently looking at their feet, and suddenly had the urge to slap themselves.
"Second brother, tell me, are we getting old?"
"Yeah, I feel out of step with the times."
"Why don't we get involved in family matters less in the future?"
"I think so too. This time it was a painful lesson for me. Without this doll, our Laurent family might not even be able to hold their heads up."
"I think it's not too late for us to retire after we've worked hard on her marriage."
"Indeed, such an excellent female doll, why not find an even better male doll?"
The three old men spoke one sentence at a time and began to discuss.
On the ring, Hughes, who was unsupported, got up alone and walked towards the ring silently.
As the protagonist a few minutes ago, he has been completely forgotten.
She had prepared revenge for so long, but she never expected that today, she would become her.
However, there was nothing he could do.
That doomsday minute in the ring made him see clearly the gap between him and her.
He silently clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with unwillingness. Could it be that his father's hatred just gave up like this?
One of the exits from the dueling arena, the emissary of Skagorn stood waiting.
Looking at Hughes who walked out with a gloomy face covering his wound, he said, "This time you initiated a duel challenge without authorization and caused such a big commotion. You will be punished after returning home."
"casual."
Hughes walked out with a cold face.
Watching him walk past him, the envoy thought for a while, and said, "It seems that your obsession is very deep, but I think there is something that you should know about."
Hughes stopped, turned his back to him, and waited for the next article.
"Back then, you only saw Sebastian humiliating your father after the duel. But do you know why he did this?"
The envoy said slowly.
Hughes turned around and stared at the envoy.
Looking at him, the envoy said, "It was your father who first humiliated his wife."
In one sentence, Hughes was stunned as if struck by lightning, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"At the welcome reception, Sebastian was in charge of receiving the envoys of Skaguen. As the representative of the envoys, after drinking a few bottles of wine, your father humiliated Sebastian's wife, and I still want to touch her."
"The challenge came after that. After your father returned to China, Wuyan continued to work and resigned on his own initiative. At the beginning, in order to maintain the dignity of Skaguen, he only called it a challenge."
The envoy calmly revealed the truth of the year.
Hughes, who learned all this, was completely stunned on the spot. His belief in life seemed to have collapsed at this moment.
In this way, does his revenge seem so ridiculous?
"If I knew that you would do this when you came to Debon, I wouldn't bring you here."
The envoy looked at him in a daze, and sighed: "I think you should let go of the past. I don't want to see an excellent swordsman continue to be blinded by wrong hatred. For this matter, regardless of today's duel Whether you win or lose, I will tell you. I just choose to say it now so as not to interfere with your state."
"I think it's time for you to find a new direction for yourself."
Hughes listened to this in a daze.
He suddenly felt that his life was like a joke.
The sword that has been sharpened for 15 years turned out to be wrong.
Think of the words I said before.
Nima, how embarrassing.
Return home, return home quickly!
He didn't want to stay in Demacia for a second.
