There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

If she didn't know the script, even she would have been bluffed by this Emperor Xuan!

And besides being Durkan's make-up artist, she played in this scene as a friend, and at the same time multi-threaded to assist Clay in secretly working. Standing in the best perspective, she also had to be a cameraman to record everything on the scene with recording magic!

Mier couldn't help but rejoice that she had repeatedly refused to formally join the Beautiful Mind team, otherwise she, who is versatile, would definitely become a super working king.

And recording all of this actually doesn't have much other effect, anyway, it won't be made public in the future.

Durkan must have wanted to show Cornelia.

Because Mier knew that Cornelia's favorite thing to watch was Durkan's live performances with no limit.

When she thought of working overtime for her good friend Cornelia, Mier's resentment about working overtime was temporarily suppressed by her.

"Boom!"

Durkan picked up his cane and tapped the ground, as if to remind everyone——

Now that his self-introduction is over, it's time for this farce of the empire in his eyes to come to an end.

"I don't want to complicate the issue, and I don't want to see unnecessary casualties, so Ikadinos and Olivia, my personal proposal is that you follow the traditional rules of the empire."

Having said that, he looked at the two of them,

"You don't have to worry about someone using despicable means to violate the rules, or who dares to refuse to fulfill the promise after losing. Because of me, I will become the defender and executor of the rules."

When he said the last few words, his words carried an incomparable sense of power and power, as if in front of his eyes, even a strong man like Menelios, as long as he dared to disobey the rules, he would definitely be able to raise his hand and crush him!

"What do you think, Mr. Pritzker?"

After Durkan finished speaking, he asked Pritzker, with a feeling that he had already regarded him as a confidant.

"You are right, you will definitely follow the rules!"

Pritzker raised his fist and responded eloquently.

And Ikadinos and Olivia quickly nodded in agreement after confirming the reliability of the emperor's promise.

They all knew what Durkan was referring to as "traditional rules of the empire."

I only heard Durkan continue to say:

"In order to prevent deviations in our understanding of the rules, here I reiterate the ancient duel rules of the Empire in my memory, as well as the current victory and defeat costs. If I remember wrongly, please feel free to point it out."

"Instead of large-scale battles, the two of you will fight in person or appoint an agent to fight the duel. The winner will officially become the emperor of the empire as he wishes, and the loser will not be allowed to step into the empire's territory and shall not invade the empire. I will be the just one. "

"If anyone violates the rules of the duel, I will personally punish them, and in the future, if any party tries to violate the oath of the loser, I will also enforce it."

"According to the rules, the additional treaties in some imperial rules are also to make the judgment more objective and convincing. One or two deputy referees are also required to follow the oath of the judge,"

Having said this, Durkan looked at Pritzker and Cynthia, the commander of the Second Army, who had not spoken.

"Are you two willing to assist me as the deputy referee in an absolutely neutral capacity?"

He stretched out his hand towards Pritzker and Cynthia.

"Happy to serve adults."

Immediately Pritzker stood up and bowed eagerly beside Durkan.

"I, I'm fine."

And the blindfolded Anti-Mage Cynthia froze for a moment, followed Pritzker's example and came to Durkan's side, and replied nervously.

Even though she sealed her eyes, she was absolutely sure that besides being terrifying in imposing manner, this Emperor Xuan must also be extremely gorgeous, sensible and charming in appearance!

Later, I must secretly take off the blindfold to see what he looks like...

Cynthia secretly planned in her heart.

"Are you both, and if there is a proxy, willing to swear to the sacred dueling rules of the Empire?"

Durkan asked.

Princess Olivia looked at Menelios, and Menelios hesitated slightly, then nodded slightly.

Although this red-haired man will inevitably become an obstacle to their Chaos God in the future, it is better to follow his rules for the time being.

At least his attitude is absolutely neutral, and he also gave reasonable and credible rules.

Menelios is very sure that Ikadinos' injury is still not healed. Not only is her condition far weaker than in her heyday, but the old injury on her body may recur at any time.

And Menelios, who is in full condition, has already prepared a countermeasure card that can defeat Ikatinos based on the replay of the last duel in order to prevent Ikatinos from making a comeback!

Even if one of the reasons why Ikadinos dared to come back so hastily to fight for her life, I am afraid that she got the key poison magic from the Shadow Bishop, but it is meaningless, and Menelios has already predicted it.

The outcome is at least [-]-[-], not to mention that he still has the power of the Chaos God, and only Ikadinos will lose forever.

"Mr. Menelios will act as my surrogate."

Olivia said.

Afterwards, Menelios, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke out: "If absolute justice can be achieved, I will follow the rules of this duel."

Durkan nodded, and looked at Ikadinos again.

Instead, Ikadinos hesitated for a while, and she asked a little worriedly:

"Even if I win, will you recognize me as the emperor?"

Durkan smiled.

He naturally knew the worry that Ikadinos should show at this moment.

After all, from the perspective of Emperor Xuan, her identity is the traitor.

"I don't think you have managed the empire badly during your time as empress. If my old friend sees you taking control of the empire, I'm afraid he won't feel sorry. Please rest assured that I will not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire. My task is only to resolve this dispute."

Durkan looked at the imperial capital outside the church through the rose window, and there seemed to be an indescribable loneliness in his eyes.

His emotions seem to be very complicated, and it is easy for the people of the empire to understand——

Even if things are different, he also hopes that this emperor will not be destroyed again.

That's it.

Finally, under the ninth-order drama played and directed by Durkan himself, both forces compromised.

Unrelated personnel were temporarily evacuated, or they were given the freedom to leave the church asylum.

Only a few powerhouses of the eighth rank can stay here to witness the next victory or defeat.

……

After counting 10 minutes.

Followed by the three referees, Icartinos and Menelios arrived at the Imperial Arena respectively.

This ancient imperial building looks quite magnificent, with a barrier as high as [-] meters, solid and thick metal fittings, and dense magic enchantment spells on the edge of the stands, making the entire arena look like a giant art cage.

The huge arena is now extremely empty, but after Icartinos and Menelios both arrived, the audience began to pour in a few visitors from time to time.

Even though the audience stand is a hundred meters away from the duel range, the protective barrier in the arena cannot absolutely guarantee the safety of the audience in the ninth-level duel.

But there are still many nobles who were invited to withdraw from the church before, Chaos believers, powerful empires, and residents of the imperial capital. These people, regardless of danger, want to come and witness.

Compared with the destructive war that was about to detonate in the church at the beginning, it seems extremely safe now.

And all of this is because there is a convincing absolute strong guarantee!

High above the edge of the Imperial Colosseum.

Durkan and the commanders of the first and second regiments stood on the highest stand.

This was originally the seat of the royal family when grand ceremonies were held.

But since they were idle at this time, the three of them chose to watch the battle here.

After Princess Olivia voluntarily transferred the authority, as the referee, Emperor Xuan can also control many functions such as the enchantment in this arena.

And here is an absolute distance from the battlefield, which can almost completely guarantee that even if they want to make a move, it will be difficult to immediately interfere with the game at a critical point, not to mention that both the referee and the players have passed Pritzker's verification of the oath.

"Hello, everyone. Here I would like to say a few words."

Durkan raised his hand and signaled to everyone in the arena.

"Every audience in the auditorium, please protect your own safety. The referee team will not take care of you separately during the duel."

"When watching, please take good care of your belongings, valuables, and the elderly and children around you as much as possible. When you leave, take care of the garbage around you..."

After finishing the precautions, Durkan finally dragged his voice and said:

"I declare—"

"The imperial capital derby, now officially begins."

Both Icadinos and Menelios were already prepared on the battlefield.

After Durkan's order sounded, the duel of life and death began!

The terrifying magic coercion and spell fluctuations set off waves of storms in an instant, making many spectators who were originally full of expectations panic.

Menelios floated high in the sky like a god, his whole body was surrounded by a strange and unpredictable brilliance, and even the air was filled with that indescribable power!

Shrouded by Menelios' gravity and traction, Ikatinos, who was already injured, did not dare to get too close, and only tried her best to curse Menelios.

Once the real ninth-level confrontation begins, even though there is a distance and the protection of the arena enchantment, the ordinary people in the stands only feel the invisible coercion through the air, even if they are not directly affected, they still feel that they are standing on the ice!

Not only the body, but even the mind, is like a small boat in the howling sea of ​​ice, which is in danger of falling into this boundless ice abyss and being destroyed at any time!

However, if they were cursed by Icartinos, or were not grasped firmly by the stands and were sucked away by Menelios' gravity, even the seventh or even eighth-level powerhouses might be crushed to death like ants in the collision of giant beasts.

Even for many people, they wanted to witness this unparalleled ninth-level battle at the risk of danger, but at this moment they finally realized how insignificant human beings are in front of the real strongest monsters in the world.

"……horrible."

On the high-altitude stands, the abyss mage Pritzker narrowed his eyes.

He couldn't help but rejoice that he wasn't in the imperial capital back then.

Even if they are both at the ninth level, he knows that he is far from being a match for these two.

But Pritzker didn't feel a trace of fear at the moment.

All the sense of peace of mind comes from Xuandiqing beside her!

With him here, I am also the organizer!And Icartinos and Menelios are just players!

"So it turns out that Miss Ikadinos' confidence is this card?"
