"Challenge, hahahaha." After hearing the other party's words, Ryan couldn't help laughing loudly. After a moment, Ryan stopped his laughter and slowly said to the knight Angelo: "You still not qualified."
"I want to challenge you." Knight Angelo was already furious. He shouted incoherently: "This is related to the dignity of a knight. Unless you are prepared to be the enemy of the entire Royal Knights, you cannot refuse."
"What a joke, what qualifications do you have to challenge my master, and what qualifications do you have to represent the entire Royal Knights?" Vivian said contemptuously on the horse: "If we can use the human sea tactic, then can we also find it every day?" One hundred thousand warriors came to challenge Captain Orlando one after another.”
"You, you." Seeing that Vivian brought the topic to his most beloved captain, Knight Angelo became even more angry. He pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Vivian and said, "Okay, since your If the master is timid, then it’s up to you.”
"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to challenge me?" Vivian asked disdainfully: "When did the knights of the imperial capital become so rude and dare to provoke a noble lord at will?"
Knight Angelo did not hear the hint in Vivian's words. In fact, neither Ryan nor Vivian wanted to turn the Royal Knights into a goal of establishing their own power. The former had an extraordinary relationship with the leader of Orlando. And the latter does not want to easily provoke this so-called invincible legion.
It's a pity that the knight Angelo didn't understand Vivian's hint, because according to the laws of the empire, nobles have many privileges, and the noble lords who have their own back cover are even more important. If it weren't for Fernando, Bird issued a strict order, no Each lord must have cavalry. Otherwise, as Vivian, she can definitely have her own knights and form a force similar to the Royal Knights.
Angelo is just an ordinary holy knight. How can he challenge a lord like Vivian who is wandering on the edge of the imperial capital? Doesn't that show the imperial capital's malice towards the Emilio family and waste a person who may personally come to the imperial capital? The forces pushed against him,
Originally, in Vivian's plan, the other party heard her hint, and then gave in a little, and if Vivian said a few good words, everyone would have a good face, and they could all step down, and the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, Vivian neglected one thing, that is, young holy knights are often passionate warriors. That Angelo didn't even think about what Vivian meant by what he said. Instead, he strode up. ,
"Following the will of the God of War, I, the holy knight Angelo, challenge you to death." Angelo made a cut on the edge of his long sword with his index finger, letting the blood flow on the blade. This ritual It is the most solemn blood oath of a knight. If Vivian does not accept Angelo's challenge, Angelo can even use the method of leaving the Royal Knights to hunt down Vivian as a fallen knight.
Seeing that things were getting worse, Ryan did not expect that the other party would be so impulsive as to use such a method. The Holy Knight has very strict commandments, such as humility, mercy, etc., but the Holy Knight himself is also a human being, and it is impossible to absolutely get rid of the influence of human nature. , this knight's blood oath first appeared in an old knight many years ago. He forgave his enemy, but his enemy despicably killed his wife and daughter.
In grief and anger, the old knight was determined to avenge his family. However, the commandments of the Holy Knight did not allow him to avenge himself. So the old knight swore a blood oath, abandoned the faith he had fought for all his life, and fell. The knight embarked on a road of revenge,
The guy named Angelo in front of him actually initiated a blood oath just because of a little quarrel. In Ryan's heart, the excitement about returning to the imperial capital slowly disappeared, replaced by a little doubt. In the past, Did the holy knights, who were strict with themselves, become so impetuous in just three years
Vivian also knew a little bit about the knight's blood oath. She turned slightly to look at Ryan's face, but found that Ryan was deep in thought and did not give her any hints. Vivian gritted her teeth and said loudly to Angelo Said: "Okay, I accept your challenge, but we have other things to do now, so why not make an appointment at another time."
"Humph, do you want to run away secretly?" Angelo said,
"It's a joke, why should I run when I can win the battle for sure." Vivian laughed. She looked down at Angelo from the horse and said to him: "We are from Cassano and we are participating in the competition. You We have to sign up first.”
"You also want to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition." Angelo blurted out,
"Nonsense, who would come all the way to the imperial capital if you don't want to participate in this?" Vivian replied, and then said: "Hey, don't block our way. Either take us to register, or get out of the way. We haven’t had lunch yet.”
Knight Angelo couldn't stand the ubiquitous contempt in Vivian's words. The other party only cared about things like registration and meals, and obviously didn't care about dueling him at all, but Angelo couldn't say anything more. , his companions have checked the corpses and confirmed that the dozens of people died under electric magic, which also confirmed the identity of the other magician.
For a magician who can easily kill dozens of people, even if he only kills ordinary people, his strength cannot be ignored. Most of the so-called punishments from the magic guild are just a light fine of some money. A powerful magician There is no shortage of that thing at all,
Angelo could only glare at Vivian again, hoping to teach these arrogant guys a lesson when the decisive battle came. At this time, someone from the Public Security Department responsible for the security of the imperial capital also came to the scene, and the person who took the lead came to the scene. When he saw the family emblem on Ryan's carriage, he immediately turned pale.
For this Royal Athletic Competition, the Imperial City spent a lot of effort. They mobilized capable soldiers to form the Public Security Department to cope with the endless security incidents. After all, most of the people participating in the competition are energetic guys. It's impossible not to cause trouble;
However, among them, contestants from many forces have received key care. For forces that have clearly remained neutral, such as Mochizuki City and Free Paradise, the Imperial City has arranged special countermeasures. After all, it cannot affect both parties due to its own negligence. relations, worsening the diplomatic situation in the imperial capital.
However, the biggest headache for the Public Security Department is a few forces that have not yet expressed their attitude. The most typical one is the Cassano Plain, which has just emerged. The war between three families for hundreds of years was unexpectedly ended by a young magician within a few months. The magician forcibly unified, and the magician quickly integrated Cassano's power, making it a pivotal force on the continent.
In order to win over Fabia, the overlord of Cassano, so that they could eventually defect to the imperial capital, the Public Security Bureau even spent a large sum of money to promulgate portraits of important figures in Cassano. Nuo was groveling, but worried about someone with ulterior motives deliberately causing trouble. As long as all his subordinates knew each other's top figures, misunderstandings could be avoided to the greatest extent.
Who would have known that the director of the Public Security Department received intelligence today that someone was killing people in the street, and killed dozens of them at once. This was an extremely bad incident, so he immediately dispatched a large number of people and asked his most capable assistant to lead the team and rush over. However, when the assistant leading the team came to the scene and saw the Cassano emblem on Ryan's carriage, he immediately realized the complexity of the matter.
For a person like the Public Security Bureau, Cassano naturally had someone come forward to explain what had just happened. The guy leading the team was wiping cold sweat while secretly complaining to his boss. He thought he could get a lot of credit from this trip. Unexpectedly, he fell into a quagmire. If he didn't handle this well, his end would be quite tragic.
According to this assistant's understanding, Cassano's contestants had just entered the city when someone stopped the car in the street to provoke them. If this was not premeditated, it was really a coincidence, especially since the other party had directly targeted Wei. Regarding Wei An, almost all outsiders thought that this woman was the forbidden love of Fabia, the overlord of Cassano. It was impossible not to anger the other party at this time.
The people from the Public Security Department were very capable. They quickly identified the dead. They were all slaves of a certain Fernando royal family. These guys were usually arrogant and domineering in the city. To be honest, they were all dead. Imperial Capital The only people who applauded and celebrated, absolutely no one felt sorry for them, but now that the Holy Knight was involved in the matter, the assistant who led the team didn't know what to do, because like the Holy Knight, The Public Security Department is not qualified to handle people with statuses such as mages, priests, royals, etc. The only thing he can do now is to push out the responsibility.
So the whole incident was quickly resolved, the dead bodies were quickly cleaned up, and Ryan and his party were also released. Angelo and his companions also realized that something was wrong after learning Ryan's identity, but Blood Oath Already issued, Angelo could not break his promise, so he could only quickly report to the military camp and report to his superiors.
As for the guy with a disabled wrist, he was selectively ignored. Since he dares to stand up for justice, he must have the ability to uphold justice, otherwise he will only become the laughing stock of others. As for the disability of the wrist, Vivian They generously compensated him with 100 gold coins. If he is willing to go home and live an honest life, his next life will be relatively stable. Otherwise, with his little strength, he will probably die a violent death sooner or later if he becomes a mercenary.
