Chapter seven hundred and twenty second master, master
Chapter 722: Master, High Master
Lorraine saw that everyone was so excited that his eyes almost filled with tears, and they were shouting at the top of their lungs. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, and thought to himself: "What's going on? It's not like the high priest issued an order prohibiting it.
A private duel.
Although I agreed, these officials and big shots heard about it and came forward to persuade me. I had already thought of words to evade.
But why is it like this now? When they heard "Duel", they were actually more excited than themselves, and their faces were all red.
I even heard someone in the crowd talking excitedly: "This year's military exercise is much better than in previous years. If nothing else, just the joke and the following duel are worth a ticket."
.
Haha, that old guy Wu Leif pretended that gout was not coming. This time he will regret it. These are excellent materials for writing scripts and novels..."
When Lorraine heard this, he immediately understood. He cursed angrily in his heart: These damn bureaucrats and aristocrats have completely the same moral character as those bastards in the Holy Light Continent.
They all don't pay attention to the laws they have made themselves! They are all used to extort the common people.
Ryan saw the thoughtful look on Lorraine's face and couldn't help but feel furious. Although the other party faced his duel challenge, it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously at all.
He snorted angrily, then raised his hand, pulled out the long sword from his waist with a 'swipe' sound, then took a step forward and slashed with the sword in front of Lorraine, who was a few meters away.
Immediately, a faint qinglan flashed out from the tip of his sword, and then the qinglan broke away from the blade and flew forward like lightning.
That ray of light was like substance, tearing apart the air and making a strange hissing sound like a poisonous snake spitting a message.
The ray of light flew several feet long and cut a shocking slender crack on the ground. It was close to Lorraine's side and almost cut through the corner of Lorraine's clothes, and finally disappeared.
Everyone present was moved and changed their expressions.
Someone shouted in a low voice: "Sword Qi, it's really sword Qi. I didn't expect that Ryan, a rough guy, could actually develop sword Qi."
Others couldn't help but talk about it.
"These smugglers from the Plantagenet family, the nouveau riche actually have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."
"It seems that they have been able to monopolize smuggling and make huge profits for nearly two hundred years, which is not without reason."
"..."
In the midst of everyone's discussion, a stout man with a slightly bald head came out.
When everyone present saw him coming, they immediately saluted.
The man snorted coldly, as if he hadn't seen him before, and his attitude was extremely arrogant. Many people present looked at it, and a trace of anger flashed across their faces, but then they hurriedly concealed the anger and put on a new one.
A framed smile.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel strange, turned her head and looked at Fiona inquiringly.
A trace of surprise flashed across Fiona's face, and then she whispered: "He is also a member of the Twelve Royal Clan. His name is Ogures. It is said that he is a direct blood descendant of our clan's number one warrior, Garridan."
When Lorraine heard this, her eyes flashed.
After these days, he finally figured out the chaotic structure within the Semitic tribe.
The Semitic tribe is divided into twelve royal families. Representatives of each branch are selected from among them to jointly govern the Semitic tribe. This is the origin of the Semitic Dark Council.
The speaker has great authority, but in various resolutions, he only has half a vote more than others, so that he can play a decisive role in various six-to-six tie votes.
Government officials at all levels, from the Prime Minister down, all serve this parliament.
Even though the Prime Minister usually has a staff of five and six, he must obediently go to this council twice a week to accept questions.
There, he was scolded bloody by the big guys, and it was common for him to wash his face with spit.
Before the Semitic tribe was divided, there were a total of twenty-six tribes that discussed politics together.
However, after the Holy War, the Semitic people, who had a long history and splendid culture, were great and invincible, were beaten to pieces by the humans and retreated to this continent.
With so many people dying in the war, people within the Semitic tribe were naturally filled with dissatisfaction and complaints. Many common people even pointed their noses and cursed in front of them.
Since a large number of troops died in the battle and lacked effective control over the local area, unruly people everywhere also started to fight against the government by resisting donations and taxes.
Some ruffians even used various slogans, such as the more elegant one, "Does the prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts?", the more moderate one, "The emperor takes turns to sit, it's my turn today.", and the more vulgar one, "
Eat his mother, wear his mother, I'm here, no one has to pay for food~"...
Wait, all kinds of uprisings and riots are raging, you will sing and I will appear on the stage, causing a lot of fun.
Seeing that the great and invincible Semitic tribe was about to be drowned in the tide of people's uprising.
Under this situation, the big bosses sat together, drinking tea, and discussing who would take the blame for this.
Subsequently, three royal families who were once powerful, suffered heavy losses in the war, but were extremely arrogant and disliked everyone, and were also very, very rich, took the blame and were wiped out.
During this process, there was another clan, although they were weak and cautious, but these bastards were already red-eyed and killed that clan by the way.
After they reintegrated their forces, they immediately broke out with strong fighting power. They united and organized a powerful legion, and finally wiped out the rebellions everywhere.
Later, when the Semitic tribe gradually developed, for the sake of their own interests, these bastards once again found themselves unable to urinate in a pot.
Before our eyes, another civil war is about to break out.
At this time, the High Priest of the Undead finally looked away and intervened. Therefore, the Semitic tribe did not break out into a large-scale civil war, but split apart.
The ten Leishan tribes occupy the south of the continent, while the twelve Lingshan tribes occupy the north of the continent.
The two sides dislike each other. The northerners call the southerners a bunch of country bumpkins. The southerners call the northerners a bunch of poor people.
In the intervening hundreds of years, border frictions continued, and sometimes large-scale armed conflicts broke out. Later, in order to capture the Caribbean port occupied by the humans, under the wrath of the undead high priest, the two tribes finally became honest and put aside their prejudices.
, a rare collaboration.
But in that war, they also made things difficult for each other. You pulled my arm, and I pulled your back. In the end, they finally exhausted their efforts and wiped out all the human defenders in the Caribbean, and successfully conquered the last human foothold.
But then they started fighting among themselves again. In order to compete for the spoils of war, they fought on the street. They even used heavy armored cavalry to charge against each other. The corpses of direct killings were scattered on the ground and blood flowed like rivers.
A secretary who witnessed the war said in his diary that when he rode his horse through the street, the blood had already reached the horse's belly...
And all of this is because of the private instructions of the royal family.
It can be seen from this that how powerful the royal family is. All tribes and peoples dance and sway according to their will. Life or death is all in their thoughts.
Except for those twelve people, all the other members of the royal family serve in Semitic government agencies. Although those people do not necessarily serve in key departments, those who serve in all key departments are all members of the royal family.
person.
This is also the so-called "high-grade unhindered people, low-grade people without power".
Like Adeline, Deipole, Fiona, etc., those noble ladies, their families all belong to this royal family.
But which family is which? This involves extremely complicated heraldry, history, bloodline... and countless other aspects. After all, they have been married to each other for generations, making it extremely confusing.
Even if we ask the gangsters from Arthur Andersen Accounting Firm in the United States who are accustomed to making false accounts, they will definitely be able to figure it out in twenty years.
However, these royal families themselves are extremely proficient in this matter, and they can easily tell who belongs to which clan by just walking around.
Although the above mentioned is long, it only lasted for a brief moment in Lorraine's mind.
After listening to Fiona's introduction, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He never expected that he would meet the descendants of Garridan, the legendary strongest warrior of the demon clan.
Lorraine narrowed his eyes and looked at the man carefully, and saw that he was not tall and extremely thick. But his hands and feet were huge. Although he was wearing long clothes, he could still see the high bulge under the clothes.
, muscles full of explosive power.
There is a thick layer of calluses on his right hand, which is obviously the traces left by years of practicing swordsmanship.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel in a daze, remembering the days when the white clothes in the academy were like snow and coming and going like the wind. She also remembered the joke about the military academy cafeteria.
I don’t know if Mr. Garridan, the most powerful general of the demon tribe, really had a big hole opened in his head with a hot chicken cake when he attacked Maple Leaf Danlin?
Fiona continued at this time: "I heard that he inherited the ability of that hero and has superb martial arts. He is called the number one master of our Semitic tribe. Although he does not have much real power, his status is extremely high."
After she finished speaking, she saw the strange look on Lorraine's face and couldn't help but said worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you scared?"
Lorraine smiled softly and said, "I just remembered a story I once heard."
At that moment, he told the joke softly, and then concluded meaningfully: "Think about it, that cake is still fresh out of the oven. If it were replaced with one that had been cooled, it would probably not just be a wound on the head.
If there is a hole, someone will definitely die."
Fiona paused for a moment and opened her beautiful eyes in surprise. When she saw Lorraine looking at her seriously with a straight face, she suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing. She smiled like a child,
Lean forward and close behind.
She kept laughing until her whole body lost all strength. She just hugged Lorraine and twisted around, clinging to him like a koala.
At this time, everyone nearby cast puzzled looks. Fiona finally woke up, but she couldn't stop laughing. In anger, she reached out and pinched Lorraine's arm secretly, and said softly: "
You bastard, just by telling these jokes, you...you are going to laugh me to death. Haha, hahaha..."
The person opposite realized something was wrong here, and his eyes flashed immediately.
Fiona's laughter subsided unknowingly, and in the end she just laughed twice dryly.
Seeing this, Lorraine took a step forward and stood in front of Fiona. He pressed his sword with his hand and looked at her coldly.
This girlfriend is my own. No matter how much I bully her, I can only bully her alone. Other than that, no one else can do it~!
Although Fiona usually spoke ill of Lorraine with her sisters and never messed with him, she was hiding behind him and looking at Lorraine's solid back, and she suddenly felt at ease.
, even if the sky falls, there will always be someone who can hold it up for you.
She couldn't help but show a trace of confusion in her eyes.
When the man saw Lorraine standing in front of him, he was startled for a moment. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Lorraine seriously.
Lorraine saw the man's yellow eyes like a beast, and immediately felt his heart sink. The other man's eyes were like blades, and an invisible heavy pressure was pressing down like a mountain in the sky, so dull that it was almost impossible to breathe.
The murderous aura was as strong as a strong wind, icy cold, and penetrated straight to the bottom of my heart.
Lorraine sighed secretly in his heart. Although he had dealt with those strong men in the past, those people were usually on the same side, and many of them were his mentors and helpful friends. Plus he had a pistol in his hand, so he didn't notice it.
What great interests do these strong men have?
But at this moment, there was finally someone standing opposite him, and only then did Lorraine truly understand what amazing power the martial arts masters in this world possessed.
Even if there is no fight, just the look and momentum are enough to break a person's spirit.
Although Lorraine was thinking in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He just gritted his teeth and struggled to support himself. Just when he felt that he could no longer hold on, he felt a warmth on his right wrist, and a stream of heat flowed from his wrist.
It welled up everywhere and spread all over the body like warm spring water.
Lorraine suddenly became energetic, and all the coldness in his body disappeared. He knew in his heart: that was the special ability of the Soul Sword. In times of crisis, it automatically provided him with strength.
Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, blinked her eyes, and became unusually clear. A natural smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Orgules.
Ogures couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Lorraine again, but then he saw Fiona put a delicate hand on Lorraine's shoulder, peeking her head secretly, revealing a pair of dark eyes, looking at him carefully. But when he saw his
Looking at her, the girl screamed again and quickly retracted her head.
At this time, the man opposite reached out and gently patted the girl's delicate hand to express comfort.
Seeing this, a trace of disdain flashed in Ogures's eyes. Although the young man has a good momentum, but he is so tainted with women and shows mercy everywhere, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything big in martial arts in the future~
!
He has been obsessed with martial arts all his life and has no other distractions.
Although many of his friends who grew up with him are now high-ranking officials, well-paid, and living a comfortable life, he has never regretted pursuing something different.
After years of hard training, I have reached the level of martial arts that I am today.
Therefore, his character is stronger. He also dislikes those common people who indulge in women's sex, are greedy for money and drink, and so on.
Ogures turned his head, looked at the sword mark on the ground, and then looked at Ryan who was returning the sword to its sheath triumphantly, and then praised loudly: "Okay, he is indeed a good man of my Semitic tribe.
.This skill alone is enough to rank among the top twenty young swordsmen of our Semitic tribe."
However, some people in the crowd were extremely unconvinced and raised objections.
"It's just a burst of sword energy. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, right? There are many talented people in our Semitic tribe. There are at least three to five hundred people who can use sword energy."
Ogures couldn't help but feel angry when he heard that someone dared to question his own evaluation.
He turned his head and looked at a rather unruly young man in the crowd. His eyes flashed coldly and he scolded unceremoniously: "What do you know? There are many people who can use sword energy, but they can send and receive it freely.
, there are definitely no more than twenty people who are light-weighted.
According to my estimation, he only showed this hand, but judging from the sword movement, there are at least three unique skills in it. With these skills, he is not even ranked among the top ten young swordsmen.
Impossible."
After saying that, he turned his head, looked at Ryan with a smile, and said, "Am I right?"
Ryan bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency, you really have a sharp eye and can see every detail. I admire you very much. You are truly worthy of being the number one master of the Semitic tribe. Even my three teachers all highly praise you."
Ogures couldn't help laughing loudly at that moment.
On the other side, the young man Kano who had just spoken out helplessly spread his hands to Lorraine, apologetically indicating that he had not been able to help.
Lorraine smiled slightly and didn't take this matter to heart at all. He just looked at the triumphant Ryan and thought to himself: Top ten young swordsmen?
Grandma, I didn’t expect that getting a real certificate here is actually cheaper than getting a fake certificate. Just touch the upper mouth piece and the lower mouth piece, and these top ten young swordsmen came out. Don’t even look at it, just take it.
I don’t have a CET-4 or CET-6 certificate, so I dare to brag 13 to my mouth like this, blowing the heifers up to the sky.
But even if it is true, so what? After the duel, there will only be nine~!
At this time, I saw Ryan standing up after saluting.
Everyone present couldn't help but cast their eyes in awe. Not to mention anything else, just after Ogures's comments, his value was already bullish, and it was still rolling and rising.
When people think about the Plantagenet family, they have another layer of worry. When weighing the struggle between smugglers, they add another heavy weight.
Ryan felt the eyes of everyone and felt quite proud. He thought to himself: If I had come forward from the beginning and showed this skill, I believe we would not be in such a passive situation in that contest.
.
He looked up at Lorraine, couldn't help but smile secretly, and continued to think: But it's not too late now. The plan is already being implemented. When this side takes advantage of the duel, they can kill this damn officer in an fair and just way.
Get rid of it in one fell swoop, and then use the relationship in the government to operate it a little bit.
I believe that no matter how unwilling these soldiers are, they will eventually give up the business under pressure.
The Plantagenets will once again achieve a decisive victory.
This family has experienced countless challenges, is experiencing challenges now, and will definitely experience challenges in the future, but no matter what, under the strong protection of us family members, it will definitely continue. Passed down by blood,
Until forever.
Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but feel a little narcissistic and became in a state of ecstasy.
He looked at Lorraine coldly, as if Lorraine was already dead, and then said: "According to the rules of duel, I will send someone to contact you tomorrow morning to discuss the time and place of the duel. Goodbye."
As he said that, he bowed gracefully to everyone present, then took the cloak from the hands of the attendant next to him, and finally shook it coolly, walked out with a big step, and walked out proudly.
Seeing his actions, several nymphomaniac girls present screamed.
"Ah, so handsome~!"
"So handsome~!"
"..."
Lorraine couldn't help but glared angrily, cursing in her heart: Handsome? So handsome! Am I so handsome? I threw off a torn cape, who can't? When I pretend to be handsome, my grandson is still handsome.
Wearing crotchless pants, holding Baba and urine mud in her hand~!
As soon as he thought of this, he heard someone not far away defending himself and yelling angrily: "Handsome? Bah, can he be called handsome with his name? My peeing posture is ten thousand times more handsome than him~!"
There was a voice next to him, which kept echoing loudly.
Everyone turned around and saw a fat little boy standing nearby, with pure black and transparent crystal sunglasses on his forehead, his hands clasped in his arms, and a straw stick in his mouth. Eight were dissatisfied, and seven were stunned.
, a look of disdain on his small face.
It is Lei Guangguang, General Manager Lei Da.
This general manager of Lei Da is the most popular figure in the imperial city. He has already shown his strong business talent at a young age and has managed a company in Nuo Da in an orderly manner, making money every day.
And it is said that he is also brave and resourceful, and has both wisdom and courage.
Previously, when some tax officials saw the company making money, they stared with blood-red eyes and ran over to collect taxes. They also arrogantly rolled up their sleeves and shouted, 'I must peel off a few layers of their skin'.
But General Manager Lei Da sat in his office and calmly talked with the tax officials who came to collect taxes for a long time. After that, he defeated the tax officials and fled.
Since then, his reputation has spread far and wide, and everyone in the imperial city knows it.
You must know that except for a few people such as the Prime Minister who have privileges and the tax officials dare not come to the door, the rest of the noble families are harassed by these bastards.
But now he actually won a big victory, which of course greatly boosted everyone's morale, greatly inspired all the nobles, and became more determined to fight with the tax officials.
All the bigwigs and nobles present knew him.
When they saw the angry expression on General Manager Lei Guangguang's face, they all couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Fiona had something on her mind, and she didn't care much. No one stopped her when she saw him, and she hurriedly pulled Lorraine towards her father.
Although it was only a short distance of more than twenty steps, Fiona was afraid that someone would jump out and cause trouble again. Therefore, even though it was a short period of time, she walked tremblingly and extremely worried. It seemed that a long time had passed.
Same for a long time.
When she finally arrived in front of the Caribbean City Lord, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fiona looked at her father who was talking to someone next to her. She first put a sweet smile on her face, and then said in a long and tired voice: "Dad~~"
Not to mention anything else, just the sound of coquettishness made Lorraine shiver next to her and shake off goosebumps all over the floor.
It was obvious that Ichikander was tired of it. He also shivered and almost spilled the glass of wine in his hand.
He turned his head and found Fiona with a smiling face, looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "You...what's the matter with you?"
The man who was talking to him next to him looked at Lorraine with a smile.
Lorraine saw the look in his eyes and couldn't help but wonder: Grandma, what does that ruffian's look mean? Why is it so vulgar?
He was just about to ask, when the man saw them and had something to say. He immediately found an excuse and left without leaving a trace. Before leaving, he still smiled ambiguously and winked at Lorraine.
.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time. She cursed in her mind: Did the grandson take the wrong medicine?
At this moment, Fiona jumped slightly and came to Ichikander. Then she held his arm with both hands and said with a smile: "Dad, you see, I have already taken him."
I brought it to you. So, are you..."
After talking about it, I couldn't help but blush, lowered my head rather shyly, twisted my waist coquettishly, and then twisted the skirt with both hands, looking like a shy little girl.
Looking at her appearance, Iskander couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, as if he had seen his wife's appearance when she was young.
He calmed down, sighed in his heart, then looked at Lorraine and said flatly: "I refuse."
After hearing this, Fiona suddenly raised her head in surprise and said: "What? You...you refused? But...but just now you said there was no problem. In the blink of an eye, you...how did you change your mind?"
.”
As he said that, he hugged Lorraine with both hands and said loudly as if he was demonstrating: "I don't care, you can't let it go. The worst is, we will elope~!"
When Lorraine heard this, tears filled her eyes immediately, and she sighed in her heart: This Semitic girl is really passionate and unrestrained. Sir, I am also so lucky. It is not easy to get the treatment of a naked marriage~!
But Iskander stomped his foot heavily and said: "Why are you so ignorant~! That Ryan's martial arts is so high, you let Lorraine get married now, if he and Lorraine fight later, what if there is a
Death and injury, wouldn’t you just be a widow?”
When Lorraine heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and she cursed loudly: "Damn~!"
