"Ten rounds? Isn't this a bit too difficult?" A burly figure sitting under the patriarch said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Princess Hathaway is also a "pioneer". Her strength is already comparable to that of the Holy Maiden. If you want to defeat her in ten rounds, I don't think there are many people here who can do it, right? "
"That's right!" The skinny old man said with a serious expression, "His Royal Highness has already practiced the Dragon Emperor's secret skills deeply into her bone marrow. If she is restricted from using the Dragon Emperor's secret skills, she will be awkward in battle. In my opinion, thirty rounds can still be done." almost!"
"Agreed!" said the shadow who had been hiding in the darkness before: "Ten rounds is too strong, if it is thirty rounds, there is still some hope, and it can be regarded as a fair contest!"
The little girl chuckled and said, "Hai Lisa has been a saint for so many years, she often travels in deserted areas, and her fighting skills are different from ordinary people. If she can't defeat Princess Hathaway in ten rounds, what ability does she have to continue to be a saint? "
"Ten rounds are more than enough for masters to fight to the death. Thirty rounds, do you want to compete for endurance?"
"Hmph, so what if it's a competition of stamina, stamina is also one of the keys to winning or losing. If Princess Hathaway doesn't have enough stamina, don't be a saint."
"Ridiculous! Master duels are all about killing moves and responding in seconds. What kind of skill is it to drag your opponent down by endurance?"
"If you don't rely on stamina, why don't you just say you beat Princess Hathaway in one round? Wouldn't it be easier and easier?"
"One round? I would like to, as long as you agree."
"you… "
People sitting on both sides of the round table are arguing with each other.
"Shut up!" The patriarch who had been silent all this time suddenly said, his voice overwhelmed the hall, and all the arguing stopped immediately, and everyone looked at the patriarch.
"Ten rounds, just ten rounds." The patriarch said with a cold expression, "If Hailisha can't defeat Hathaway, she will abdicate and make way for the virtuous!"
"Patriarch, this..." the thin old man and the others hurriedly said.
The patriarch shook his head slightly, looked directly at the little girl and the other people beside her, and said slowly: "If Hathaway loses, Hailisa will continue to serve as the saint, and the leak of the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" this time will also happen." will be dealt with lightly. If Hailisha can't defeat Hathaway within ten rounds, it proves that Hathaway has the ability to become a saint. In the future, Hathaway will temporarily take the position of saint. After Hailisa reflects on it, she will discuss the issue of replacement. "
"Agree!" The little girl smiled, her eyes were as beautiful as crescent moons.
The others next to her all seconded her approval.
The thin old man and the others opened their mouths slightly, and finally sighed secretly. Since the patriarch had already said so, it was useless for them to continue arguing, after all, the other party's votes itself had the upper hand.
"Dragon Mother, what do you think of this proposal?" The patriarch turned his head and looked at the noble lady on the dragon chair at the top of the round table.
Hearing the patriarch's words, there was a slight silence in the conference hall, and everyone turned their heads to look at the luxurious and graceful figure on the dragon chair, their faces couldn't help putting away excess emotions, a little dignified and serious.
This noble lady has been lazily leaning on the soft pillow in the dragon chair, her expression has not changed a bit. At this moment, when she heard the patriarch's question, she moved her eyes slightly, and her amber eyes, like glass, passed over everyone. The people who looked at each other subconsciously lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look directly into their eyes.
"You are the patriarch, you can decide." The lady slowly withdrew her gaze, and said calmly: "Since most people agree with this point, let's implement it. The two sisters must have been impatient waiting outside. Tell them come in."
Seeing that Dragon Mother didn't intervene, the little girl and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
The eyes of the thin old man and the others showed a trace of disappointment, and they sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter could not be reversed.
"Call them in." The patriarch ordered into the darkness behind.
There was a promise in the darkness, followed by a breeze.
A moment later, outside the dimly lit conference hall, two light footsteps could be heard, walking calmly, step by step, without rush.
The next moment, two stunning faces with somewhat similar outlines appeared at the end of the round table. They were the girl in Tang suit who was waiting outside the door and the Hailisha in Du Dian's eyes.
The two are similar in height, and their clothes are also similar, except that one is a purple Tang suit and the other is a water-green cheongsam, like two bright flowers equally divided in color.
The girl in Tang suit has a flat expression, and her face is somewhat cold. It seems that she doesn't care about all external things. If you look carefully, you will find that her temperament and appearance are somewhat similar to the lady on the dragon chair. place.
"Hai Lisha" next to her looks a little immature, although she also has a calm expression, but she seems to have a soft smile, which makes people very kind.
"Hathaway has met Lord Dragon Mother, the patriarch, and all the elders." "Hailesa" in a green cheongsam lowered her head and said obediently. If Du Dian was here, she would definitely be stunned.
"Hai Lisa has met the Dragon Mother and the patriarch." The girl in Tang suit just nodded slightly as a sign of salute. As for the other people on the round table, she didn't even look at them. She is a saint, second only to Dragon Mother And the patriarch, these elders should take the initiative to say hello to her when they see her. This is their status and rules.
The lady on the dragon chair stared at her, nodded slightly, and there was a fleeting smile on her lips.
"You are here." The patriarch looked at the two equally outstanding daughters, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, he slightly clenched his fingers under the table, and said calmly: "Hailesa, I lost the "Dragon Thorn" this time. You cannot escape the guilt, and the evidence is solid, can you plead guilty? "
The girl in Tang suit had a calm expression, as if she had expected him to say that, and said, "I don't recognize it."
The patriarch was slightly taken aback.
"Don't admit it?" The burly middle-aged man sitting opposite him said in a deep voice: "The evidence is solid, you still don't deny it?"
The girl in Tang suit looked indifferent, and said: "No matter what evidence you have, I will never admit to something I haven't done! However, whether I admit it or not is not very meaningful to you. You should come to us. The verdict has already been negotiated, so let's pronounce the verdict directly!"
The little girl smiled lightly, and said: "Your Highness, what you said seems to be that we are wronging you. Evidence is evidence. If you did something wrong, you should pay the price!"
The girl in Tang suit stared slightly, turned her head to look at her, and said slowly: "What price do you want me to pay?"
Stared at by her eyes, the little girl suddenly felt that the secret in her heart could not be concealed, she couldn't help but look a little unnatural, she turned her gaze away, and said, "Your Highness, the verdict was negotiated by everyone, if you want to Justify, it's still too late..."
"No need." The girl in Tang suit interrupted her directly.
The little girl was slightly suffocated, and a trace of sullenness flashed in her eyes.
The thin old man and the others sighed and shook their heads slowly.
The patriarch was slightly silent, and said in a low voice: "After discussion between me and the twelve elders, it has been unanimously decided that you will compete with Hathaway, and you are forbidden to use your Dragon Emperor's secret technique. If you can defeat Hathaway within ten rounds For her, you will continue to serve as the saint, and the loss of the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" will also be dealt with lightly. If you fail to defeat Hathaway... then Hathaway will replace you and temporarily assume the position of saintess, and you will be replaced when you reflect on yourself. Do you have any objection to this verdict? "
In the conference hall, everyone's eyes were on the girl in Tang suit, with different expressions in their eyes.
Facing the gaze of the crowd, the girl in Tang suit didn't change her expression at all, but remained silent.
"Hailesa, if you have any objections, you can raise them." The patriarch saw that she had been silent for a long time, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, and said again.
The girl in Tang suit was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "I... have no objection."
Hearing her words, the hearts of many people at the round table suddenly dropped, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Hathaway in the water-green cheongsam standing next to her had a gleam of joy in the depths of her eyes, and she couldn't help but clenched the giant gun in her hand with her fingers.
"But..." the girl in Tang suit suddenly spoke again.
Hearing this "but", everyone couldn't help but startled.
There was a strange look in the eyes of the lady on the dragon chair, and she looked at her quietly.
"But what?" the person next to the girl in Tang suit couldn't help asking.
The girl in Tang suit said indifferently: "I give up the competition."
There was silence in the conference hall.
Everyone was stunned again, looking at her in disbelief, giving up? This is the only chance, how to give up like this
Soon, everyone thought of a reason. Could it be that the condition was too harsh, and she knew it would be difficult to defeat Hathaway within ten rounds, so she gave up? It seems... there is only one explanation.
Thinking of this, many people's eyes showed sudden color.
The lady on the dragon chair cast a meaningful look at the girl in Tang suit, then slowly withdrew her gaze, her eyes drooped, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Since you want this so much, I'll give it to you." The girl in Tang suit looked at her sister Hathaway and said calmly.
Hathaway was stunned on the spot.
She has even prepared for the next battle, even for this battle, she has carefully simulated it in her mind many times, and even prepared a lot of secret moves for it, but... she gave up
"That's right, she knew she couldn't beat me within ten rounds, so she wisely gave up, so as not to make a move in front of everyone!" Hathaway thought quickly.
"I have a request." The girl in Tang suit looked at the patriarch, and at the same time glanced at the lady on the dragon chair above the patriarch.
Hearing her words, everyone's thoughts were brought up again, and many people's bodies that had just relaxed could not help but tense up again, staring at her, with a trace of tension and deepness in their eyes.
The patriarch took a deep look at her and said, "What request?"
The girl in Tang suit looked directly at him and said: "The person who was arrested is just an innocent person who was implicated. I want to save his life." Her tone was very sure and serious.
Hearing this, the little girl and the others realized that it was a false alarm, and they couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
The person who was arrested was just a small person from the outer wall area. They didn't pay attention at all. Whether they lived or died had nothing to do with them. Moreover, seeing Hai Lisha's serious appearance, it was obvious that she was going to decide on this person.
She rarely showed such a tough attitude, but every time she showed it, no one could disobey it.
Because no one wants to offend her.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first." The girl in Tang suit said.
The patriarch secretly sighed in his heart, his tone was always calm, and said: "Since you gave up the competition, from today onwards, Hathaway will temporarily take the position of saintess, Hailisa, you will move out of the Saintess Peak from now on Hand over the order of the saint! From now on, you are never allowed to step into the Dragon Emperor's palace again."
The girl in Tang suit nodded slightly, turned her palm, and a platinum token appeared, the size of a baby's palm, with a black dragon pattern engraved on the back. She put it on the table, bowed slightly, and said: "Dragon Mother, Patriarch, I I'll take my leave first." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation or procrastination, nor did he look at the other people again, the slender and graceful figure gradually disappeared in the darkness, and then there was a bang from outside, it was the door of the conference hall Turn off the sound on again.
In the conference hall, everyone looked at each other.
No one expected that Hailisha handed over the Holy Maiden Order so easily, which symbolizes the noble status and rights of the Dragon Clan!
"Princess Hathaway, from now on, you will be Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. I hope you can replace Hailisa and guard the barren area." The little girl took the lead in breaking the silence and smiled softly at Hathaway.
Hathaway regained her composure, and stared blankly at the Saintess Token on the table just a few feet away in front of her. This was something she had dreamed of, but now it is here where she can hold it with her hand. For this day, she paid for it. There are too many, I have imagined the excitement and scenes of getting the saint's order countless times.
However, now that this scene has happened before her eyes, she suddenly feels a little weird in her heart, as if... there is no surprise and excitement as imagined, is it because her sister voluntarily gave up and admitted defeat
Thinking of this reason, she flickered her eyes slightly, and slowly reached out to pick up the Holy Maiden Token. The moment she picked it up, the weird feeling in her heart faded away, and the excitement that she dreamed of came to her heart.
Anyway, she won.
She got what was hers!
…
…
On the Jungfrau Peak surrounded by mountains.
Hailisha packed her luggage and came out of the high-rise building. Her important items have always been rare, or in other words, there have never been many things that she can care about.
"Dear sister." As soon as she left the gate, a pretty figure came leisurely from the square and looked at her with a smile. It was Hathaway who had obtained the Order of the Holy Maiden. She glanced at the bundle in Hailisa's hand and smiled. Said: "Sister, is there just such a few things? You'd better get them all at once, so as not to be thrown away by me as some rags in the future, and you won't be able to find them when you come back to look for them."
Hai Lisha said indifferently: "It's not just that you threw away as rags."
"Sister, are you talking about that biting little thing you raised that year?" Hathaway grinned, and said, "It's just that it likes to bark and yell at me. Of course I have to teach it a lesson."
"You are as knowledgeable as an animal. You need to improve your taste a lot in the future, otherwise you won't be a good saint." Hailisha said indifferently.
Hathaway covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "If my sister thinks I'm not good enough, just go back... Well, I remembered, my sister has always been smarter than me, knowing that I have awakened the power of my blood, I am worried about ten rounds You can't win me, so you just gave up, and said something beautiful like 'give it to me', tsk tsk, you are indeed my own sister!"
Hailisha looked up at her, "One round is enough to win you."
