They don't want me to work harder

"right."

Linda blinked and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Theoretically, it is indeed possible... So, what do you want? Money?"

"unnecessary."

Richard said: "If I win, you must use the honor of the Dulles family to confess your faults to the goddess of order, and swear to never be my enemy again. At the same time... you must confess to all the classmates who entered the Red Hell Mine before. Give compensation!”

"can."

this moment.

The agreement is made, the duel is decided!

The teachers who had been left in the dark for a long time finally spoke up, tightened discipline, and announced the end of the hearing.

Everyone left.

Richard left the auditorium with all kinds of eyes on him, and was blocked by Zoe and others at the corner.

"Richard, you are taking too many risks! How could you..."

The little girl grabbed Richard's sleeve tightly and started persuading him without any accident. Hepel and Tom were about to follow suit.

Richard quickly raised his hand to stop them: "You are all right, but in any case, the matter has been decided. What I need to do next is to concentrate on preparing for the battle in three days."

"Yes, but..."

Zoe's eyes turned red and she pursed her lips, but she really didn't know what to say.

One thing to say, at this moment, I feel a bit like a little mother.

Richard smiled helplessly and touched the little girl's head.

Then he looked to Alice aside.

This Princess of Fandan is much calmer.

In fact, if it were the original Alice, she would probably be as anxious as Zoe.

But now that she has gained the memories of those years in the simulation, she is somewhat more mature and steady, and she is more aware of Richard's potential...

Well, how could a person who dared to sacrifice his life to assassinate Emperor Fandan be timid to challenge the daughter of the Grand Duke?

Therefore, Alice just smiled gently and asked:

"Junior, are you sure?"

"Well, I can win."

Richard repeated to Zoe Tom and others: "Believe me, I can win."

Everyone's eyes showed that they couldn't believe it at all...

Richard shrugged and said to Alice: "Senior, there may be something I need your help with..."

"Junior, just say so~"

three hours later.

Night enveloped the entire Saint Goethe.

Richard used the bright moonlight to follow the winding gravel road and arrived at the northernmost tower of the school.

Assistant teacher Arnold has already been waiting here.

As soon as he saw the person, he immediately sighed: "Richard, what do you think, challenging the middle-level bronze level to the first-level silver level, it's really..."

Such familiar words made Richard dumbfounded.

But before he could explain, Arnold turned to smile:

"But it's too late to tell you this now. You just need to go all out... Having said that, dueling is really full of the flavor of youth! Haha, young people should be brave enough to challenge!"

Richard felt warm in his heart, but also a little puzzled.

"Teacher, as a member of the Empire, aren't you angry at my behavior?"

"Things between students, why are you raising the banner of imperial honor? Besides..."

Arnold's lips curled up: "I am a mountain man, so isn't it normal for me to be rebellious!"

"Mountain people?"

"You will know when you have the opportunity to go to the Abalanya Mountains in the future. Now... the chat is over."

Arnold clapped his hands: "It's time to get down to business. I knew you would come to me... After all, for a summoner, the best way to improve his strength in a short time is to contract a powerful summoned object."

He opened the iron door of the tower behind him and led Richard to a circular secret room engraved with runes.

This is the classroom of Saint Goethe’s cross-border calling.

Some of the runes on the wall are directly connected to the school's protective array, which is powerful enough to ensure that students here can communicate with dangerous demons in the abyss without being directly harmed.

In Saint Goethe's training plan, every mage has one opportunity to come here to try to obtain summoned creatures from other worlds, while for the summoners of the Dawn Class, there are three opportunities.

Richard had only been here once before, and his harvest was those elemental creatures.

Now, in order to deal with Linda, he needs to get in touch with some more dangerous and smart guys.

"Don't try to contract with silver-level demons, Warcraft lords, or other creatures that are inherently malicious to humans. That's something you absolutely can't bear now, and don't touch the alien world that makes your spirit feel burning pain...More There are many rules, and you know them well.”

Arnold waited for Richard to enter and then closed the iron door.

"I'll be guarding the magic circle outside the door. Just do your best."

"Thank you teacher."

Richard came to the center of the magic circle in the secret room and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the prepared spices, potions, and a ruby ​​as a sacrifice - summoning powerful creatures across borders is not catching rabbits in the forest. It is impossible by force. It is like trying to draw a good character in a game. Sometimes, I have to offer my wallet...

Then, he entered a meditative state and recited the incantation of ancient Elvish language.

Outside the door, Arnold felt the slightly unfamiliar magic fluctuations, frowned slightly, and said to himself:

"It's not the elemental world or the abyss, but some unknown small fantasy world? This aura...dragon creature? Yalong? Ah, why did you choose such a difficult target?"

As an assistant teacher of the Summoning Department, Arnold knows very well that compared to simple-minded elemental creatures or evil spirits harboring evil intentions, alien creatures with dragon bloodline are often more arrogant, that is...

More difficult to contract.

Especially for bronze.

"A bit too youthful..."

Chapter 32 Each one accumulates strength

A full two hours passed.

With a burst of warning red light, the maximum usage time of the classroom that a single student can apply for has expired.

Richard was sweating profusely and retreated.

Arnold's experience told him that generally speaking, the longer it takes a summoner to communicate with alien creatures, the more difficult the summoning process is, and the result is often difficult to predict.

Sure enough, it’s still too difficult to come into direct contact with subsaurs... Oh, poor child...

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he didn't ask about Richard's results in detail, but just wished him victory.

Richard thanked Arnold and hurriedly left the tower.

Instead of returning to his dormitory to rest, he came to the school's training ground and saw the second person waiting for him.

"Excuse me, senior."

In addition to obtaining stronger summons, Richard also did not forget practical training.

And that's why he asked Alice for help.

Alice is the only one among Richard's acquaintances who is willing and has the time to be his sparring partner for two days in a row, and her strength happens to be in the middle of Silver, even higher than Linda.

...By the way, when Richard heard about Alice's level for the first time, he was so envious that he almost broke down.

"You're welcome. We Fandan people will help our friends to the end."

Alice led Richard to the center of the field with her almost habitual nonsense about Vandan traditions.

Looking at the handsome face opposite, the girl suddenly felt a little conflict in her heart - she both hoped that Richard would win, but also hoped that Richard would fail, because then Richard would drop out of school and she would have the opportunity to bring him back. Fan Dan.

This Roland Empire, which does not distinguish between good and bad, is not worthy of his sweetheart living there for a long time!They Fandan also have their own "Saint Goethe" and will never delay Richard!

But immediately, she drove this thought out of her head and reflected deeply!

Richard sacrificed for himself like that in the simulation, how could I be so selfish and not think about him?

We still have to help him win!

Alice exhaled, and then said seriously to Richard: "If you are ready, you can start."

"Good senior."

"You should know that all silver-level professionals have adaptive shields, right? So there's no need to hold back, just attack them."

"clear."

Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was one of the obstacles for him to challenge Linda.

Silver-level professionals are not only better than Bronze-level professionals in terms of basic attributes, they can also obtain a natural personal defensive shield, which is somewhat similar to the body-protecting Qi in martial arts novels in previous generations, which can significantly reduce the damage caused by low-level professionals. The damage is called adaptive shield.

If you put it into the game, you can also call it high-level damage-free.

This is also the fundamental reason why Silver-level professionals don't even have to hide when faced with small-yield gunpowder weapons.

Time was running out, so Richard didn't think too much and started discussing with Alice immediately.

The training ground suddenly lit up with colorful magic lights.

On the way, Zoe and Katyusha also rushed over.

They were not strong enough to participate in actual combat training, so they just served tea and water and did the logistics.

Everyone stayed until late.

And at the same time.

Linda Dulles didn't go to practice.
