Wizard From Afar

"Bang————!!!"

Splitting the air sound, resounding through the night sky.

The boiling fire sea divided into two from the center-the petite silhouette of the elven girl leaned forward, holding the long knife in her right hand, maintaining the posture of drawing the knife at the last moment; sparks of unburnt embers are on her Around, with long snow-white hair fluttering in all directions.

The battered and exhausted elf boy snuggled up behind her, staring vigilantly at the black hair wizard's every move, his hands were still in the state of "spots", not fully recovered.

" 嘁……"

Looking at his two intact "guests", the black hair wizard couldn't help but spit out, very helpless.

It's difficult.

If there is only one, now with the help of Fiend of the Wings of the Sky, I can take it down calmly; but two... you have to consider opening the valve.

But according to a certain "Evil God boy", once I open the valve right now, I will most likely put a guy I don't want to see from the void into the material world.

Considering how much he hates that guy, Loren doesn't want to take this risk.

At the same time when the two sides were in a stalemate, the surrounding Fiend hunter and the accompanying wizard guild sorcerers had regrouped and surrounded the two elves, not one drop of water can leak out.

"The Wings of the Sky!" Lu Sien, who was holding the sword in his hand, was full of anger. He just made a mistake in his judgment and caused Loren to abandon his prisoners. The situation facing him alone made him feel inexplicable shame. The expressions are a bit distorted and hideous:

"Capture these two assassins who dared to attack the Duke alive-dare to resist, kill without mercy!"

next moment, dozens of magic arrays at the same time Appeared at the feet of two elves.

Almost at the same time, Fiend hunters who were not to be outdone raised their sabers, clutching the alchemy bomb with their left hands behind them, and rushing from different directions.

"Boom——!!!"

The shadow of the knife and the aurora flickered at the same time. Shrouded in it.

"Wait a minute--!"

The blade light flashed, and the turbulent smoke was separated immediately; the elf girl standing with a knife stepped forward.

In the next second, the girl's sword in the girl's hand was already approaching Lu Sien who was charging with the sword.

"Clang Cang——!"

The long and narrow blade tore open the "steel blockade" of the two sharp blades, and took the gray-eyed boy directly to the door, not far from his eyes. Stop at three inches.

Almost at the same time, Lucien's right hand Dragon Knight's spear also passed through within three feet of the elf girl, and withstood her throat.

"I have a proposal!"

Seeing that Captain was being held hostage, the surrounding Fiends stopped in place, guarding against it.

"Speak--!"

Furiously shouted, the black hair wizard raised his hand to stop the Knights who were behind him who wanted to hug him.

Seeing that the surrounding enemies no longer came forward, the elf boy hiding behind the girl was relieved, but he looked around vigilantly, the gem pendant in his hand flashing rays of light.

"Let us leave, within two days, don't send anyone to chase us." The elf girl's immature voice, yiyiyaya's opened the mouth and said: "This is our request, and the only one The request."

"What about your conditions." To stop Charlotte who wanted to speak behind him, Loren said solemnly: "It won't be anything like'no longer hurt my subordinates', right?

Then I advise you to save the time, because they want to'harm' you in particular now!"

The elf girl shook her head.

"With one year as the time limit, after one year, Lori will challenge you alone...just and honorable." The girl spoke lightly, her expression restored from the state of being stimulated by Loren:

"Prior to this, Lori promises you that no wizard warrior will appear in your court!"

The young wizard hearing this behind the girl is surprised , Looked back suddenly: "Master Elder sister, don't you really want to..."

"Anson, step back!"

Luxen held it back with a short sword The elven girl in her throat, her face doesn't change and stopped the young man behind her.

In the next second, she gently pushed away the blade in front of her neck, and in Lucian's stunned gaze, she bowed respectfully to the black hair wizard:

"It's here to fight you to death and to live, so that your subordinates who could have never died are sacrificed in vain; or you and Lori will decide the victory or defeat with a sharp knife in your hands with their respective glory and faith in a year later-the right to choose is yours!"

The black hair wizard looked at her blankly.

She...isn’t she serious?

In all fairness, this choice is really good for me; the cathedral has changed, and the life or death of Teacher Dalton is uncertain; if you continue to fight, I am afraid there will be more casualties...I am not 100% sure about the injured myself.

In exchange for a year of peace, and there will be no more elves warrior raids on the Scarlet Blood Castle; not only won sufficient repair and preparation time, but also can protect the currently developing Duchy from Harassment.

But the problem is...

"Why should I promise you?" Loren twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes solemn: "even more how...you don't have anything to convince me Evidence or reason."

"There is only one reason!"

The elven girl bowing to salute, her voice suddenly became formal:

"Loren ·Your Excellency Torino, you are the Duke of Byrne—and the Duke of Byrne will never refuse a fair and just duel!"

In an instant, black hair wizard complexion stiffened.

Not only the Knight guards behind him, but Fiend Hunter of Skywing Wings turned their heads, focusing on Loren.

I almost forgot about it!

Each duchy has its own cultural traditions, moral standards and behavior habits, or "spiritual beliefs" that it pursues.

For the Byrne people, this belief is the "Knight spirit";

The core of this belief is "honor above all else."

This belief allows the counts of Byrne's thirteen leaders to unconditionally loyal to their sudden emergence of "Torino", so that more than 20,000 Byrne people will have no complaints and no regrets on the green sea grassland. He followed himself and won one bloody battle after another; let the whole Duchy stand behind him unreservedly when he "made good ideas".

This is not only the strength of Byrne, but also her most fatal weakness.

For honor, Byrne’s army would rather fight to death on the battlefield than choose a retreat tactic that can save strength;

For honor, the Duke of Byrne must not refuse a battle. Duel, even if the opponent is your enemy!

A dilemma...

The silent Loren stared at the elf girl; under the silent night sky, one could hear the footsteps of the distant street.

In the distance, the top of the cathedral is still burning.

Will the tiger go back to the mountain and fight another day? Or is it to take advantage of the situation to control the situation now and fight for the heavy casualties to take the opponent?

Just when Loren was still hesitating, Charlotte behind him suddenly took a step forward.

"Okay, we promised!"

Huh? !

Loren was startled, staring dumbfounded as he walked forward, leaving only Charlotte at the back of his head:

"For a period of one year, one year later, Byrne The duke will choose a place with you. Under the common witness of both parties, decides life and death!"

In the next second, all eyes returned to the black hair wizard.

The black hair wizard with a stiff expression was stunned for a second, quickly restored his composure, and nodded silently.

As soon as Charlotte spoke, he had no room to refuse:

"Yes."

"Then it is so decided." Elf girl nodded , Her expression was indifferent: "After one year, Lori will naturally come to Scarlet Blood Castle; or your Excellency the Duke will visit..."

"Wait!" Charlotte interrupted her coldly:

p>

"I haven't finished yet!"

The elven girl is not angry and not annoyed: "Then...Please continue."

"Since the party who proposed the duel is You, then the rules of the duel must follow Byrne's custom." Charlotte raised her head slightly:

"According to Byrne's custom, the party who proposed the duel must show enough sincerity. "

"What can we do to express our sincerity?" The blindfolded elf girl raised her head and asked softly.

"It's very simple, hostage." Charlotte slowly folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and raised her waist: "She, or her relatives... Stay in the Scarlet Blood Castle as a hostage."

p>

The expressions of the two elves changed at the same time, and they shouted in unison:

"Impossible——!"

"Without hostages, how can we trust your sincerity? "!" Charlotte raised her sword eyebrows, and said sharply: "I clearly want to use this as an excuse to deceive the Duke to let you go!"

"Knight of Byrne, what are you waiting for—— This kind of base and shameless do not deserve to live at all, kill without mercy!"

The situation has changed suddenly!

"Boom——!!!"

There was a blast.

Without warning, the sudden strong light made the surrounding Fiend hunters instinctively dodge, and while retreating, they did not forget to throw the alchemy bomb; the rumbling sound of the fire burst mixed with the strong light, For a while, it closed the senses of everyone around.

The elven girl and Lucien, who were in a stalemate in the confrontation, had to choose to separate; even the gray-eyed teenager who was so nervous was still holding up his two-handed sword and was always ready to fight back.

After ten seconds, everything returned to its original state.

The young man who just "hiding" behind the elf girl, now opened his arms to block her behind, the broad robe is full of traces from the explosion and the traces left by Lucian when he retreated. Scars.

The elf boy who breathes again and again, battered and exhausted.

"Wait a minute!"

"On the question of sincerity...I have a proposal!"

Charlotte was slightly surprised, but still forced to calm down Nodded: "Please tell me."

"Leaving hostages is absolutely impossible-not only because of the wishes of the elder sister, but also the things that your Majesty Xiong Yingwang is absolutely impossible to accept, no matter what we do. Either party is impossible to fulfill their promises."

The chest is violently ups and downs, and the expression of the elf boy is extremely difficult: "But we can buy the Scarlet Blood Castle and even all of our intelligence network by Byrne. The human beings will tell you."

"In exchange, you can still have a year to prepare...how?!"

After that, the young elf stared at the nervous emerald green Eyes, look steadily forward, staring at the black hair wizard and the female count, waiting for their final reply.

This proposal is good.

Charlotte's eyes lit up, looking back, and looking at the black hair wizard behind him.

What do you think, do you want to agree? Charlotte raised her eyebrows and her face doesn't change.

Increase the price, they know more than that! Loren's expression was indifferent, and he twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"It's just the intelligence network of Byrne, and we can dig it out by ourselves." Putting her eyes away, Charlotte looked at the other person pretendingly: "These words are sincere. It's cheap!"

"Then what else do you want?" the elf boy asked.

Female count coldly snorted: "It's very simple, we want the Azores kingdom to have all the intelligence networks in the empire."

"Impossible!" The elf boy flatly refused: "And no Say I don’t have any, even if we do, you’d better give up!"

"Really?" Charlotte narrowed her eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corners of her mouth: "Then I just don’t have to talk about it, Sky Wings——"

"Yes——!!!"

The elf boy quickly raised his hand to stop him, his expression tangled to the extreme: "I am on my body. There is no intelligence network for the entire empire, but..."

"Byne, Boy, Lothar!" Charlotte immediately opened the mouth and said quickly:

"These Do you always have it?!"

"...Yes."

Took a deep breath, the elf boy almost squeezed the word out of his teeth.

"The three duchy intelligence networks, plus the information about the'Siting', will exchange the lives of you and your elder sister." Charlotte, with a cold face, deliberately stepped forward:

"And...you must guarantee that within one year, the warrior of the Azores kingdom will not infiltrate Byrn Duchy-can it be done?"

"...Yes."

The young man's hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

This is no longer a simple exchange, but to sell all the humans fighting for the Azores!

After such an event, how many human beings will be willing to be loyal to Your Majesty Xiong Yingwang? !

But he can only accept that everything is for the elder sister, the Zade family, and the Imperial Court warrior......

Charlotte is slightly nodded, and gestures to Lusien nodded; The gray-eyed boy who received the order immediately commanded Hunter Fiend to retreat to the surroundings.

The elf girl who was always silent suddenly stepped forward and threw her Azores long knife at the black hair wizard.

"This is the famous sword passed down by the Zade family through generations. It serves as a testimony to our duel." The elf girl said solemnly: "The next time I meet, I will get her back."

"...with your head, Lord Byrne."

Dalton raised his eyebrows and looked at this stick-like cane, so simple that you can’t even see the slightest decoration of Azov. Long knife.

I will hand it over to the dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain and study it carefully.

"Take care, Lord Byrne, I hope we can meet again next time." The elf girl whispered: "In addition...Please also ask Harlem Van Azham Master for me and Anson. Greetings."

Huh?

"With...Greetings?" Loren was stunned, almost blurting out:

"What greetings?"

"Just say...Unfilial grandson, I’m extremely sorry that I can’t stay in front of the bed to take care of his old man. When I came this time, both father and grandmother had entrusted Lori to say hello to him. Please take care of your body."

Next In seconds, under everyone's stunned gaze, the two elves gradually turned into light spots and disappeared from sight.

What the hell——? !
