"No, no, boss Arthur, you got this, how can we have it?" Seeing Arthur so generously handing out the 10,000 gold coins he just got, the mercenaries immediately waved their hands, although it was really
They were greedy for the money, but they couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
"I told you it's your medical expenses, how can I take it?" Arthur didn't waste any more words and directly threw the magic crystal card worth 10,000 gold coins to the mercenaries, then turned and left the tavern.
There is no way, he can't stay in this tavern for long, because someone has already recognized his identity.
"Arthur... is he the legendary Arthur who saved the Messiah? Is it really him?"
"That's right! It's our hero Arthur! Why does it look so familiar to me? It's really him!"
What started out as whispers turned into a lot of discussion at the end, and it seemed to be getting more and more intense. If Arthur didn't leave, he might be surrounded by these hero-worshipping people.
Arthur didn't want to feel the troubles of a public figure at all, so he said it was better to run away first.
"Where is Lord Arthur? Where has he gone?"
"Lord Arthur is missing! Let's chase him quickly!"
Arthur dodged very quickly and disappeared from the corner of the street in a few seconds. However, the enthusiasm of the people around him did not diminish at all. It was not easy to see the hero Arthur, and he could not talk face to face or look carefully.
If you look at it, it's really disappointing.
Now, the whole street has been searching for Arthur, but unfortunately, Arthur has returned to the Moon Night Black Cat Group's station at this time. Today's incident has been provoked, and Arthur needs to follow up carefully.
Asuna wanted to talk, especially since it was related to tomorrow’s duel with Kradir.
"Arthur, you are really a little impulsive today." Today, Arthur and his people rushed out to find trouble with Kradir. This made Asuna very distressed. In her heart, it was best not to have a conflict with Kradir.
, it’s not that she’s afraid of Kradir, it’s just that she doesn’t want to cause trouble. After all, that guy Kradir is very insidious. Who knows what tricks he will play in the dark.
"There is no way. If we endure this kind of thing any longer, the people in the regiment will lose their hearts." Arthur shook his head. He didn't think what he did today was wrong. From the expressions of these mercenaries after the war,
It can be seen from the above that the cohesion of the group is stronger. Although he and Kradir are completely fighting to the death, even if today's incident had not happened, Arthur also knows that it is impossible for him and Kradir to live in peace.
After all, Kradir is keeping an eye on Asuna. How can he give up until he gets Asuna?
"I know this..." Asuna bit her soft lips. She understood the importance of cohesion among her subordinates, and did not want her mercenaries to feel cold. It seemed that at this point, she should be more decisive.
"By the way, Arthur, what do you think about tomorrow's duel?" Forget it, it's a done deal anyway, so Asuna simply doesn't think too much about it. Even if she stands on the opposite side of her father, Asuna can't regret herself.
choice, but for now, tomorrow's duel is what Asuna is more concerned about.
"What else can you say? Just kill Kradir on the duel field then." Arthur spread his hands. Since it is a duel, then no matter who is killed or injured, it is his destiny, even if Kradir died in the duel.
On the field, that is understandable. On the contrary, it can be settled once and for all. Arthur is looking forward to tomorrow's duel.
"Don't underestimate Kradir. His fighting talent is pretty good, and his strength has already reached the fourth level. Even his breakthrough to the fifth level is just a short step away. If it's a one-on-one battle, I will
You may not be able to defeat him." Asuna's expression was serious. This guy Kradir must not be underestimated. If you underestimate him, you will easily suffer a big loss.
"Oh? Is he stronger than you?" Arthur raised his eyebrows. This is a bit interesting. Asuna actually thinks that she is not that guy's opponent?
"It's not that he is much better than me, but in battle, he is better at using dirty tricks. In previous battles, there have been many times when he relied on dirty tricks to defeat opponents who were stronger than him. I think
He shouldn't be a warrior, a thief is his best choice." Asuna looked disdainful, she was the most disdainful to use dirty moves, and Kradir was good at this, as you can imagine
You know, it would be strange if Asuna could fall in love with Kradiel.
"I see, I'll be careful." Arthur nodded, playing dirty tricks? You'll be able to see it later.
"By the way Arthur..." At this moment, Asuna hesitated for a while, and then she said to Arthur: "If you can, please don't kill Kradir in the duel field."
"Why?" Arthur was very surprised. Why would Asuna make such a request to kill Kradir directly on the duel field? Wouldn't that be done once and for all? There is no place more convenient than the duel field.
"Kladir's family... is known for its insidiousness and cunning. If you kill Kradir in public, it will definitely lead to endless revenge. Even the Messiah may be..."
"Okay, I get it."
Arthur understands what Asuna means very well. He can kill Kradir, but not now. At least he can't give people an excuse. Otherwise, Arthur will be fine as a single man. He can still run away if he can't be beaten.
But as for the Messiah, he can't run with Arthur, right?
If Arthur runs away and people vent their anger on the Messiah, the gains will outweigh the losses.
In any case, Kradir's family still has a certain status in the Saint Arion Empire, and they also have a lot of private soldiers. If they send troops to attack Messiah, it will be Messiah's people who will suffer. So,
Arthur needs to restrain himself temporarily this time.
But Arthur also knows that this guy Kradir is definitely not a good guy, and he will become a disaster if he stays for a long time. Although he has to exercise restraint in this duel, it does not mean that he will really let Kradir go.
It seems like I need to think of a solution carefully.
The news about the duel between Messiah's hero Arthur and Kradir of the Blood Alliance mercenary group soon spread like a gust of wind throughout Messiah. Everyone was talking about it, especially about Arthur.
Everyone was even more interested in how Ser came to conflict with Kradir.
And soon, the heroine in the grievances and hatreds surfaced, and she turned out to be Asuna, the former deputy leader of the Blood Alliance mercenary group and the current leader of the Moonlight Black Cat mercenary group!
Good guy, these three people are all influential figures in Messiah. Now they have formed a triangle relationship, and it has developed to the point where they have to duel for the heroine Asuna. It is really awesome!
"This rumor is really..." At the Messiah City Lord's Castle, Arthur was listening to all the rumors about his duel with Kradir with a wry smile. Only a few hours had passed, and the entire Messiah knew about it.
.
"Okay now, everyone knows the relationship between you and Asuna." Karina's tone was full of joking, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the unspeakable hint.
of sourness.
"What does it have to do with it? Am I so innocent?" Arthur spread his hands helplessly. He didn't want to become a gossip hero just like that.
"Whether you are innocent or not, you are completely angry because of tomorrow's duel, but you have to be careful. I have investigated that Kradir, and it is definitely not a good thing." As for Arthur, Karina
Naturally, he was very concerned about it, and there was no way that Arthur's rivals, Kradir and Karina, could be let go, so they directly sent people to investigate his background.
This guy is not a good guy. How can he come from a family that is famous for being cunning and insidious? Therefore, Karina must remind Arthur.
"Don't worry, I know what I know." Arthur nodded. The duel will begin tomorrow. Even if he can't kill Kradir, he will never let him have an easy time!
You know, Arthur is quite confident at this time, because during this period of time, his strength has made great progress. He has learned all the paper-level skills, and has even reached all the skills.
The MAX level shows how hard he has worked recently.
However, it is a pity that after learning all the skills at the paper level, the exchange for the strong level could not be opened. This has also kept Arthur's strength stuck at the bottleneck, but Arthur believes that as long as he works harder, he will definitely be able to achieve success.
He can break through the shackles and move towards a stronger ladder, and Kradir is just a stepping stone for him.
Fourth level advanced? Don’t think you are the only one who has achieved it!
The next day, in the Messiah Arena, before the duel between Arthur and Kradir started, there was a landslide and tsunami of cheers. There was no way, there were too many people in today's duel.
After paying attention, tickets to the arena were almost impossible to get, and this time Karina made a lot of money.
Arthur was also very happy about this. He didn't expect that his duel would actually bring extra income to Messiah, and after this duel, he would get at least tens of thousands of gold coins. So should he consider coming back in the future?
How many duels can make up for the shortfall in Messiah's finances?
Well, duels are no joke. Now it’s better not to think about so many messy things and concentrate on the battle in front of you!
"Hmph, I thought you didn't dare to come." Kradir came quite early. Before the duel started, he was already standing on the field, feeling the cheers of the audience.
, and also expressed disdain for Arthur who came late.
"To be honest, I really don't want to come. After all, I have to kill a mouse myself, which really makes me lose some money."
