Du Wei's "declaration of death" to the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light in the competition arena almost completely detonated public opinion in the entire imperial capital!!
The entire imperial capital is talking about the outcome of Duke Tulip's life-and-death challenge to the Knight Commander of the Holy Knights. Of course, many people with a keen sense of politics are also secretly worried! After all, everyone knows that Duke Tulip belongs to the royal family.
Die-hard supporters, it would be better if this matter does not turn into a direct confrontation with the church!
For a time, in the imperial capital, Duke Tulip's arrogant and arrogant declaration on the ring became a topic of discussion for everyone. Many, many people were ignited by the young Duke's declaration and said the most passionate thing in their hearts.
To put it simply: he is so fucking handsome!
However, there are still many die-hard believers of the church who believe that this is a provocation to the church by this arrogant little noble, a disrespect for the sacred goddess of light’s representative organization in the world! It is a blasphemy to the only faith on the continent...
…and so on and so on.
However, no matter what the discussion is, everyone has reached a consensus: this Lord Tulip Duke is really good at martial arts, and he is very strong!
In the ring, Du Wei deliberately revealed his silver fighting spirit, which was enough to dispel everyone's previous ridicule of his strength. According to the standards of Roland Continent, only a warrior who has reached level eight can release the silver fighting spirit! This is real
The sign of strength entering the high-level warrior class.
Needless to say, Du Wei’s attainments in magic are long gone. Everyone in the empire knows that the Tulip Duke is a magic genius! If you dare to say that Du Wei is not good at magic... then all the students at the Empire Magic Academy will definitely find him.
You work hard!
So now, this guy... can even practice martial arts to level eight?
He...he is only eighteen years old!!
Du Wei caused such an incident in the afternoon game in the Imperial Capital. It can be said that it caused a bit of chaos. All kinds of gossip spread in the streets and alleys.
But at this moment, Du Wei, who was the protagonist of this matter, left the Knights Association arena immediately after the game. He didn't even say hello to anyone. He went directly back to the Tulip Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital and ordered that everyone be closed.
No visitors will be seen at all!
In fact, some other things happened that afternoon...
For example, Lord Randall, the Holy Knight Commander who was given a "declaration of death" by Du Wei, also appeared on the stage soon after Du Wei's group of games.
His appearance also plunged the entire audience into excitement! Randall's mood was obviously affected by Duwei's declaration. But it made this proud holy knight even more explosive!
On the ring, this holy knight only used less than a cup of tea to knock the two opponents off the ring directly, while the other holy knight in the same group as him did not even make a move from the beginning to the end.
Randall also showed enough level, which made the whole audience excited about the future battle between the Duke and the Cavaliers. It can be said that it has aroused enough expectations!
Randall also showed an eighth-level silver fighting spirit, but it was unfair to him. After all, Du Wei's strength has always been hidden, and Randall, everyone already knew that he was an eighth-level fighting spirit, so his fighting spirit
No matter how gorgeous it is, not many people are surprised.
However, some of the knowledgeable guys in the stands had a slightly different feeling in their hearts.
"It seems that this holy knight was also angered by Duwei. He performed beyond his level today. It seems that anger can indeed make people explode in a short time."
Deron was sitting in the box of the Knights Association, with his feet crossed. Next to him, his old servant Dove stood there with an unhappy face. But he took a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth, and then drank.
Hiccup: "Humph, so what. This Randall is a fool. How could that Duwei end the game himself if he didn't have two brushes? If this Randall was smarter, he wouldn't let his subordinates abstain on purpose.
We should try our best to fight Du Wei and find out the depth of Du Wei's strength. This will make it safer."
Deron smiled, with a hint of malice in the smile on his face: "Dove, have you forgotten? Those holy knights are probably guys with bad minds. They are too proud..."
Dov glanced at his "master", suddenly went over and sat down next to Delong, and used his big butt to push Delong out of the chair: "You didn't see me standing here?
Has it been an afternoon? I am old, but you are sitting like this..."
Delong sighed and glanced helplessly at his servant. Fortunately, no one around him noticed. He snatched the bottle from the other man's hand: "Say, how much money do we have left?"
"What do you want to do!" The old man Duofu immediately closed his pockets. He looked at Delong with a vigilant face and scolded: "I tell you, although our life has been much better recently, we can't stand the chaos of a prodigal like you.
Flowers!”
Delong looked aggrieved and exclaimed: "Who said I would spend money randomly! I just want to use it for betting! Now is a good opportunity to make money."
"Betting? You mean..."
"Of course the Tulip Duke who suppressed us won! He can definitely chop off that Randall!" Deron said with certainty.
"Are you...really so sure?"
Delong smiled, squinting his eyes, and a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes...
"Dove, it seems you are really old!" Deron sighed: "Didn't you notice that when Du Wei was in the ring, he used his big bow to show off his fighting spirit...
"
He suddenly came closer to Dov, lowered his voice, and said with a mysterious look on his face: "When he pulled the bow string to shoot out the white fighting spirit... he only used one finger!"
Dov, the old guy with an impatient look, suddenly calmed down when he heard this, thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "That's right... he only used one finger! You mean... we
Does this lord Duke still have some hidden strength?"
Delong chuckled, suddenly looked at the ring below, and then smiled happily: "Wow! Look! Beauty! Beauty has appeared! That girl named Xue has appeared!!"
Perhaps Du Wei's previous declaration had already whetted the audience's appetite, so even the appearance of Ailu, who had been in the limelight before, seemed a bit boring to the audience.
Although Elu used her ghostly Snow Mountain Taijutsu to successfully defeat several opponents and became one of the top 100 semi-finalists. But among the audience, except for some lustful men, there were no other contestants.
The cheers and applause of the people were somewhat feeble.
After seeing Ai Lu's clue, Prince Chen, who was sitting in the royal box on the third floor, had already stood up and smiled at the entourage beside him: "Today is no longer interesting, let's go back."
"Yes, Your Highness." The attendant beside him, who was also one of the four judges of this martial arts competition, the chief warrior in the palace, Chike, immediately bowed and responded.
However, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and Chike couldn't help but whispered: "Your Highness, are you going to see the Duke?"
"Oh?" Prince Chen stopped and glanced at Qi Ke, with a smile in his eyes: "What do you want to say?"
"Your Highness, I think Duke Tulip's behavior this time is a bit reckless." Chike replied in a moderate tone: "You once said that we need to show some appropriate tolerance to the temple now, and now is not a good time to break up."
Prince Chen looked at himself, the loyal chief warrior, and his smile seemed very satisfied. But then he suddenly touched the head of Prince Charlie next to him: "Charlie, tell me, what do you think about this matter?"
Prince Charlie was stunned for a moment. The ten-year-old boy lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Father, I think what Chike said is wrong. Teacher... Duke Tulip did the right thing."
Prince Chen became interested and looked at his son, who had high expectations: "Charlie, tell me in detail."
"Yes, Father!" Prince Charlie's face was very serious, not like a ten-year-old child at all: "Appropriate tolerance does not mean blind appeasement! We must express a signal to the temple: Our tolerance has limits! If we blindly tolerate
If we shrink back, the temple will feel that the royal family's position is too weak! In that case, our prestige will be reduced. If the royal family appears weak, then the attitudes of the nobles who stand closely around us will also change, so
, this will bring about a chain reaction. And... I think we have tolerated a lot before! Father, you have been baptized by the Pope. You have also tolerated the tricks they played in disaster relief. This is what we have
The limit of what can be tolerated. This time they have extended their hands to the tournament again... I think they should be given a little 'reminder' to let them know not to stretch their hands too long!"
Seeing the young Prince Charlie say such strong words, Prince Chen narrowed his eyes, glanced at Chike, and said calmly: "My head guard, do you understand? I think your question, Charlie
Enough explanation has been given. And..."
Prince Chen sneered: "A few months ago, the temple suddenly gave Du Wei a commendation order. The name was that Du Wei killed a group of gangsters who pretended to be the Holy Knights and caused trouble in the northwest. Hmph, do you really believe it?
Are there any gangsters in the northwest who dare to impersonate the name of the Holy Knights and commit evil? Chike, you finally learned to use your brain today. I am very happy and hope you will think more about it when you encounter things in the future."
After saying that, Prince Chen patted the loyal guard chief on the shoulder and said warmly: "Work hard, don't just focus on practicing martial arts on weekdays, read a book when you have free time, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will let you go down and be the commander of the army.
"
Chick's face showed gratitude and he lowered his head.
"And..." Prince Chen smiled: "Actually, I'm surprised by Du Wei's move. However, now that he has made that kind of declaration publicly, I can't stop him! After all, now
The words have been released! And everyone knows that Du Wei is my most trusted minister. If I do not support him at this time, but stop him... If Du Wei really retracts what he said due to my pressure...
...That’s the shame! The real shame! I, Du Wei, our royal family, everyone is embarrassed!! I won’t be able to hold my head up when facing the temple in the future!! Do you understand?”
Taking a deep breath. Prince Chen suddenly realized that he was a little too excited. He calmed down and then announced expressionlessly: "Chief Guard Chike, for his dedicated service, the reward is five thousand coins and a sword.
.Prince Charlie, you are extraordinarily intelligent. I will try your best to study hard. I will reward you with a horse. Then... help me prepare a big gift and send it to the Tulip Duke's mansion. Then pass on my order and don't allow anyone to disturb him in his preparations for war! Haha.
, Du Wei must have gone back to his house early now and stopped seeing guests, so I will help him block people."
No one cares about who else is among the 100 qualifying players, and not many people care about that list. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the life-and-death duel between Duke Tulip and Knight Commander Randall.
!
Moreover, the temple did not make any expression or reaction. After Du Wei issued the declaration of death, the temple did not even send anyone to the palace for any communication. It seemed that it had acquiesced in this life-and-death duel!
"Du Wei is determined to teach the temple a lesson." Lan Haiyue listened to Ai Lu sending back today's news. The wise old guy leaned on his chair and sipped tea.
"But Master, I don't understand." Ai Lu wore a silver mask and stood beside Lan Haiyue: "The war in the future is about to break out. At this time, why would the temple do such things regardless of the overall situation?
What about provoking the royal family and the Tulip family? Don’t they know that at this time, they should resolve the issue of unity internally first?”
Lan Haiyue smiled: "This can be said to be the stupidity of the temple...or it can be said to be the cleverness of the temple!"
Looking at the girl's puzzled eyes, Lan Haiyue sighed: "It seems that your teacher has told you a lot of things, even the battle in the future. Well, it is precisely because of the temple
I know that at this moment, everyone must stay united and not break up. The temple has also recognized it, and Du Wei and the royal family will all tolerate it to a certain extent. So at this time, they might as well take a few steps forward.
! Take advantage of the other party's tolerance and gain more benefits! Do you understand? For example, the snow disaster relief incident last year was intentional by the temple. Although it was later resolved by Du Wei, the prestige of the temple did gain a lot.
Great improvement! This is when the other party takes care of the overall situation. They can gain more benefits."
Later, Lan Haiyue sighed: "It's just that the temple has been a little too anxious recently. It is right to take advantage of the opportunity. But this time, Du Wei was annoyed, so this kid seems to be ready to give the temple a cruel blow.
of."
After a pause, Lan Haiyue glanced at Ai Lu and said in a deep voice: "How did you feel about the book I asked you to read a few days ago?"
"I've almost finished reading it," Ellu said honestly.
"Do you have any experience?" Lan Haiyue smiled.
Ellu hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "There are some, but they are too complicated. I can't understand them all at the moment. The things in the minds of the Roland people are much more complicated than those of the people in the Snowy Mountains."
Lan Haiyue smiled: "Very good, I don't expect you to understand everything at once. As long as you understand it, you will understand it slowly in the future. As you grow older, you will understand more."
After speaking, he took out a book from the side: "The last volume I gave you was the first volume, and this is the second volume. They were all written by me. You can take it back and continue reading."
The title of this book is exactly like this!
"The Great Imperial Era Beginning in Nine Hundred and Thirty-Six, Everything I Experienced in the Imperial Capital"
And this note is gentle and powerful, but it is Lan Haiyue's handwriting!
"This is a book I have spent a lifetime writing. In fact, it is about everything I have seen, heard, and experienced since I came to the Imperial Capital for more than thirty years. The first Northwest War that year
, the change of power in the imperial capital, the strife in the aristocratic circle, and the coup a few years ago... I have recorded everything, and some are my own analysis... You can slowly understand it.
.”
Lan Haiyue handed the book to Ai Lu, but he seemed very tired and seemed to have made an extremely difficult and important decision!
Then, the old man's face was full of helplessness, and he looked at Ailu with a look of imperceptible pity, and his voice became gentler and kinder: "Okay, I don't need you to serve me anymore. You have worked very hard today, go down and rest."
Well, I want to be alone for a while."
Watching Ai Lu enter the room, Lan Haiyue leaned on the chair and pondered for a long time, and then took out the letter sent by Bai Hechou from his arms again!
This time, Lan Haiyue, who is an extremely powerful man, even had his fingers trembling a little when he took out the letter!
"I will see if this girl can inherit the mantle of Daxue Mountain!"
Bai Hechou's ink on the letter is as good as new!
Then, the old man suddenly bit the tip of his right index finger with force! Then he wrote a word on the back of the letter with his own blood!
"Can!"
After writing this word, Lan Haiyue folded the letter paper a few times without stopping, and folded it into the shape of a flying bird. He threw it into the sky! Then, the paper bird vibrated a few times in the sky.
He lowered his wings, but seemed to come to life, flying towards the northwest... Then suddenly a light flashed out and quickly disappeared into the sky!
Lan Haiyue leaned heavily on the chair. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength...
"It's really difficult to make a choice. Worry...why are you so anxious!"
Just an hour after Lan Haiyue made the "decision"...
On the far northwest edge of the continent, towering snow-capped mountains dominate...
Bai Hechou was sitting in the bone-chilling snow bee cave. His face seemed to have been dyed a blue-white color by the surrounding ice and snow.
There was silence all around, except for the howling cold wind all year round on the top of Snow Bee Peak.
The Witch King sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed...
Suddenly, he opened his eyes slightly, as if listening to the distance, and then Bai Hechou stretched out a palm, as if grabbing it lightly out of thin air, and when he retracted his palm, there was a letter folded in the palm of his hand.
paper bird!!
Bai Hechou looked indifferent. He looked at the paper bird in his hand, with a smile that broke the ice. He didn't even look at the words written by Lan Haiyue on the paper bird. He pinched it casually.
, the paper turned into powder!
"Yue... thank you for making such an embarrassing decision for me."
He didn't read the content of the letter because there was no need to read it!
He has dealt with Lan Haiyue all his life. The extremely smart Bai Hechou knew that since Lan Haiyue had replied to the letter, the content in the letter must be the answer he thought!
"Now that the final problem has been solved, then... I can leave here without worries."
Bai Hechou had already stood up. He glanced around with his ice-like eyes, looking at the place where he had been sitting for decades, but there was no trace of nostalgia in his eyes!
With a few chissing sounds, he shook his fingers slightly and left a line of words carved on the ice wall at the entrance of the cave!
"Elu Keji! Baihe Chouzi."
After writing this sentence, Bai Hechou suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times. He walked to the edge of the cliff, jumped up, and fell down. Then he suddenly turned around in mid-air, covered with white shadow, and headed towards the mainland.
Going to the north...
"There is no opponent for me on this continent! The road to search lies in the north!" Bai Hechou passed through the wind, as fast as lightning! The extremely tyrannical domain expert had passed thousands of mountains and rivers at his feet in an instant.
!
"Fortunately, there is a god in the north! If we want to break the bottleneck, we can only... kill the god!"
Under this figure, the Roland Continent has passed thousands of mountains and rivers. In almost half a day, it has crossed the Kilimaro Mountains and entered the frozen forest...
