The duel originated from the oldest period of the Griffon Dynasty of the Auckland Empire.

In that era of unsound law, if the dispute between the two sides is not properly resolved, the time, place, and witness will be agreed upon, and the most primitive and boring way of human beings - brute force to resolve it.

After many years of development, the barbaric act of duel was given many sacred meanings, and finally it was even regarded as an elegant act that embodies courage and spirit, and became a privilege of the nobles.

You read that right, whether on earth or underground, the people of Gabriela really regard this as an activity that only nobles can participate in.

The warriors in the earthly world used war horses, guns and swords to duel; and in the Natia Federation of the Sky Kingdom, the magicians naturally had to use magic to duel.

There are three ways to terminate the duel: one party admits defeat; the other party loses combat ability or dies; or both parties die together and die.

After four o'clock in the afternoon on July 18, Lu Xi was riding a carriage and left the main island of Elichar, slowly crossed the Dragon Bridge and arrived at the wilderness on the banks of the East Island Lake. At this time, his duel opponent Duid Verander had been waiting for nearly three hours.

The reason why they came so late was that after the exam, Lu Xi took Lim to the last time for a big meal, just to celebrate the end of his exam. After lunch, the two of them went to the city for a while and had afternoon tea in the roadside cafe, and then they came over.

In fact, he was not thick-skinned enough. If it were someone else, he should have been delayed until the sun was about to set.

"Why are you here so late?" Duyd couldn't help but shouted in anger when he saw Lu Xi walking off the carriage leisurely.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man who looked very steady and decent in dress, with a calm and gentle look. He looked at Lu Xi and nodded, "His Excellency Berencaster, I also hope you can explain the reason. You must know that if you are late for no reason, the witness can condemn you for the duel."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Paulus de Casanier, the Federal Representative. Well, it is a witness invited by His Excellency Vilanbat."

In addition to Primra, there was also a coachman and a deacon named Fultu. Seeing that Lu Xi was a little confused, Fultu hurried to Lu Xi's ear and quickly introduced the man named "Paulus de Casanier".

Paulus is a very famous poet in Elichar. Although he is not a magician, his family has a high status in the business world. In addition to his appeal in the cultural world, he finally has a position as a member of parliament. In the capital aristocratic circle, because of his fair and meddling personality, he made many friends, and many people like to drag him to be a witness for duel. Gradually, this person gained a very high reputation and status in the duel world.

Hey, why does duel still have "boundary"?

After listening to Furtu's introduction, Lu Xi just curled his lips disdainfully: "To put it bluntly, isn't he just a sore literati who is so idle."

"When am I late?" Lu Xi tilted his head and looked at Duyd as if he was looking at a fool.

"We have been waiting here for three hours!" the other party said loudly.

"I've said the afternoon duel, but I haven't said what time it's afternoon. As long as the sun doesn't set, I'm not late."

"You..." Duyd glared at his eyes and prepared to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the case and he was speechless. The poet Paulus, who was standing beside him, glanced at the other party, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

I dragged me over without asking clearly. I really think that the time of a literati is not time?

Paulus coughed pretendingly, as if this could hide his embarrassment. He looked at both sides and then said solemnly: "Then, Lord Berencaster, if your witnesses come, the duel can begin here."

"I didn't bring a witness, so I'll ask you."

"Ah? But I am also a witness invited by His Excellency Vilanbat."

"It's okay, aren't you a celebrity in the duel world? I believe in your work ethics."

Paulus seemed not to hear Lu Xi's sarcasm, and his tone was inexplicably more excited and admirable: "Please rest assured, I will never take sides. Then, I will announce the content of the duel."

"According to Lord Duyd's request, the participants must be Lord Luxi Berenkast and Lord Duyd Vilanbat himself. At the same time, either party must participate in the war alone and must not use entourages. Summoning spirits and alchemy puppets are not like this. Do you have any questions about this?"

It seems that Lim has been shattered in the shadow of the seaweed head.

Lu Xi stared at the other person's face carefully, and felt that his nose bridge was much collapsed than last time he saw it. He immediately burst into a bad laugh, making the other person furious.

"No doubts." Lu Xi said with a smile.

"No!" Duyd said gritting his teeth.

"So," Paulus stepped back more than a dozen steps, leaving a safe space, and shouted: "I announce: The duel begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duyd raised his staff, and the magic book was blown up and spread out in front of him. His staff was made of unknown metal, with gorgeous silver light on it, and a purple-red, fist-sized crystal ball flowing inside. It was a magical aura. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary person.

As a spell flashed rapidly in his mind, a rotating hexagram array suddenly appeared at his feet.

The magic circle continued to release bursts of dazzling red light that could not be seen directly. After the light, a huge black shadow appeared and slowly formed. After the red light and the magic circle dissipated, a snake-shaped elf that was raised more than two meters high and condensed with flames appeared. The fire snake swung its burning body, and the snake apricot condensed by the flames poked out, and it actually made a "hiss" low sound similar to the one before the hunting of reptile carnivores.

"Let you see, this is the ultimate fire control technique of 'Saroman Snake', and you will turn it into ashes!"

The Sharoman Snake is one of the gathering bodies of fire elements, which is the legendary elemental elves. Magicians who have mastered summoning magic can use their magic to show the elemental elves in reality, making them powerful combat power. A Sharoman Snake can continuously spray fireballs and burn light like a machine gun, and can also attack with a body condensed by purely flames. On the battlefield, it can wipe out the elite army of hundreds of people.

The summoning and condensation of the Sharoman Snake is entirely supported by the magic power of the magician. The highest known record in the world occurred during the Qiming War. At that time, Ramshid, the king of disasters, one of the six demons, summoned more than 500 Sharoman Snakes at once with the endless magic power given to him by the Lava Sea, and burned out the Iron Fist Fortress and the 70,000 Alliance Army within it with the boiling fire of hell.

The power of the Sharoman Snake has become famous since then.

The difference between the seaweed head in front of him and the King of Disaster is probably as big as the small stones on the beach and the bright moon above the nine heavens; however, he was able to summon the Sharoman Snake at the age of less than thirty, although there was only one, but it was worthy of Alantis' evaluation of him.

Compared with the seaweed head, Lu Xi's voice was much smaller. He pinched a fingerprint and recited a few short spells. Everyone saw the soil on the ground jumping up suddenly, forming a silly clay puppet.

There are six gem inlay holes on Lu Xi's Alpha 3 amulet, which means he can install six puppets on it. He naturally brought the clay puppet that accompanied him successfully to suppress the bandits.

However, to outsiders, Lu Xi's actions are ridiculous, and the crowd watching the battle even burst into laughter. Clay puppet, a big road man with a combat power that is at most a little stronger than skeleton soldiers, is as if he wants to fight against the Sharoman Snake.

"This is your own death! No wonder I am!"

The Sharoman Snake swung his body under the command of the summoner, opened his mouth and rushed towards the stupid puppet.

The earth puppet was still standing foolishly, as if it was frightened by the huge fire snake. Just as the blazing snake head was about to swallow the puppet, the Sharoman Snake seemed to feel something, and suddenly twisted its burning body and rushed towards its master Duyd.

At some point, Lu Xi had already rushed to Duyd, and the Misilian sword in his hand slipped out and stabbed the other party's chest.

Duyd was shocked, raised his staff, and a magic shield appeared at the critical moment, but it soon broke in front of the invincible sword blade. His reaction was fast, and this short time also caused him to release a wind wheel, slid back a few steps with the wind, and avoided Lu Xi's second slash.

The psychic Sharoman Snake felt the danger of his master, and immediately gave up the attack on his prey and quickly returned to the army to rescue.

Lu Xi jumped back a few steps, avoided the fire snake that was returning to help, and stood aside.

The Sharoman Snake did not continue to attack. It hovered beside Duyd, completely protecting the other party in the fire circle formed by its body. The terrified seaweed head then recovered a little calmer and shouted at Lu Xi: "When did you come here?!"

"Of course it was when you commanded the Sharoman Snake to attack my puppet."

"mean!"

"Despicable? Are you a fool? This is a life-and-death duel, that is, the battlefield. Why do I have to prepare the enemy for the ultimate move? Alas, so these famous dogs who think they are noble in blood are pampered and have never seen the world, and they can't even fight. They are obviously silver, but they are actually good enough to be able to exert the strength of bronze."

"Ga!" Although he didn't know what "silver" and "bronze" mean, it was definitely not a good thing. Duyd couldn't help but bit his mouth so angry that he looked at Lu Xi. He looked at him with murderous eyes, full of anger and hatred, as if he was going to kill the other party with his eyes.

"Sarroman Snake, burn him to death!"

The fire snake, who received the order, opened its mouth and seven or eight fireballs burst over like a bead cannon, constantly creating explosions on the ground. In such boiling air waves and storm, Lu Xi easily split the attack of the Sharoman Snake while constantly shortening the distance between himself and Duyd.

"No, it's impossible!" Duyd murmured and repeated in a daze.

"What's impossible? Although the Sharoman Snake is powerful, it was summoned by you after all, and it's up to you to attack. The so-called owner will have any kind of pet. Your attack intentions are all written on your silly face with a greasy and pink face. This can't be avoided, but it only means that I'm stupider than you. If there were seven or eight attacks together and forming a fire net, maybe I wouldn't be able to handle it. Unfortunately, there is only one now."

"Damn it! I am a dignified two-star mage, and you are just a magic apprentice. How could I lose to you?"

Duyd roared loudly, and pointed his right staff in front of him, and a fire wall of more than one person suddenly rose up on the ground.

"Firewall? Really, I'm not on the battlefield, I won't go around."

Lu Xi is right, the more practical function of the Firewall technique is on the battlefield. From a hundred or even thousands of magicians to cast spells together, it can even create effects similar to the Great Fire Wall. It can effectively divide and surround the enemy during attack, and can also be used to cut off the back during defense, which is extremely effective in the crowded and bustling battlefield.

But, in the duel...

Just as Lu Xi said, can't such a big land and such a narrow wall be surrounded?

However, when Lu Xi just exposed his head from the other side of the firewall, the arc condensed from Duyd's left hand had already slashed down.

"Boom!" The arc hit Lu Xi accurately, and the explosion created wrapped him in.

"Haha! I hit it! I won!" Duyd shouted happily.

"Who said you hit it?" Lu Xi's voice came from behind him.

"You!" Duyd turned around in shock and saw Lu Xi standing behind him less than half a meter away, "You, you, I obviously hit you! Why do you..."

"That's just an illusion. This level of fraud fools you, and you really don't have a sense of accomplishment."

"Damn it! Eat my move!" Duyd picked up the staff, as if he was still preparing to release a magic, but Lu Xi snatched him before, stared at him, and suddenly let out a voice of the word.

"Drink!" It is the most commonly used pressure technique in spiritual magic.

According to Orusero, magicians are all guys with extremely strong mental power and have very strong resistance to mental magic. Under normal circumstances, Lu Xi's current attainments in pressure techniques can probably directly scare a lion to tremble, but it cannot even have an effective impact on a senior student in the Magic Academy.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

The so-called exception is when the magician's attention is completely diverted and his soul is not protected. During the actual training with Orusero, did not Lu Xi suffer several losses?

So, Lu Xi looked at Duyd with satisfaction and sat down on the ground with his head in his arms. The Sharoman Snake next to him lost the support of his magic and fell apart instantly like a gorgeous crystal.

"Why, why, why, you guy, I'm obviously a top student at the Central Magic Academy, an elite who has been promoted to the stars at the age of 25, why is a mere magic apprentice..."

"...You must have never really fought since you got the magician qualification, right?"

"Nonsense! I'm doing practical training with the best arcane maker every day, I..."

"No, I mean: real actual combat. That is, the battlefield!"

"Uh, I'm a civilian official, ah! No! The battlefield? Have you been to this mere apprentice?"

"That's not the case. But don't forget that I practiced with me every day, but the top magician in the world, the great existence known as the "King of the Aristocratic Law"! Two-star magician? It's ridiculous. Your star position is just your magic, knowledge and mastery of spells. This does not represent your strength. And I, Luxi Berencaster, is a disciple of Orusero Berencaster, and the mysteriousness of the Colorful Rose lineage. How can you understand it as a mere noble dandy?"

"..." Duyd looked at Lu Xi, who was tall and smiling with a smug face, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes for the first time.

"Okay, you lost. Surrender well. I won't kill you."

Duyd gritted his teeth, but the fear in his eyes gradually turned into solemnity and determination.

"You kill me. The Veranda family has no coward who surrenders. The family's honor for 1,500 years cannot be ruined by my own cowardice!"
