Half an hour later, Ilosu and Augustus, who had completed their preparations, stood at opposite ends of the duel field outside the palace, twenty meters apart. Augustus had seen Ilosu's methods, and he did not dare to overestimate his equipment.
The enchanted armor and half-hand sword passed down from the family. This half-hand sword is extremely famous. It is the heirloom sword of the Galil family. It is a rare enchanted masterpiece called Yaori.
In order to ensure that he won the duel, save some of the situation, and reduce the punishment of the Galil family after Charles III's banquet, Augustus even took out the family heirlooms.
Everyone watching the duel looked curiously at the broken star in Iloth's hand. They had never seen such a strange and beautiful weapon. The blue wide-edged two-handed sword was close to the length of a spear, and it seemed that it needed special combat skills.
ease-of-use.
Although most of the men in the crowd felt that Augustus was extremely stupid tonight and generally had a spectator mentality, they still hoped that he could teach the Shire people a lesson.
The aristocratic wives and young ladies looked like crazy and hoped that Eloise would win. After all, appearance is justice.
Yekaterina looked at the two people on the field, and couldn't help but worry about Ilosu. After all, Augustus was at the peak of the Silver level, and he was also a leader among the young people in the imperial capital, and this matter was all because of her.
And rise.
Fiona, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but smile, "You don't have to worry about Elos, he's just a silver swordsman! You should be more worried about that unlucky guy."
Seeing Fiona so relaxed and happy, Ekaterina couldn't help but feel relieved for a while.
Servais, as the arbiter of the duel, saw that the two men had made preparations for the duel. He then looked at Charles III and the Grand Duke of Gros. After receiving their signals, he announced:
"The championship showdown begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the half-sword in Augustus' hand lit up with a pale golden light.
Condensing fighting spirit into weapons is the proof of reaching the silver level.
Augustus held the sword in one hand, and as if his body was gliding, he rushed towards Eloise at an extremely fast speed, and was close to Eloise in the blink of an eye.
Elos held the broken star and waved it casually, and the broken star collided with Augustus's sun. There was only a heart-breaking sound of metal clashing, and Augustus was knocked back 10 meters away before stopping.
He stood down, with a look of disbelief on his face. The tiger's mouth of his sword burst open, and blood flowed out, dripping on the duel field drop by drop.
Augustus was horrified. He originally thought that Elos was just a junior silver knight. With his peak silver-level strength and equipment, he could not easily deal with this pretty boy. As a result, he didn't even activate his fighting spirit. He only used
The physical strength defeated him.
Ilosi didn't wait for Augustus to take a breath, and attacked Augustus with the Broken Star as if he were holding a spear.
Augustus hurriedly raised the sun to block, but it was meaningless in the face of the huge power gap.
There was another sharp buzzing sound of metal collision, and Augustus' sun was thrown out of his hand. The injured tiger's mouth was injured again, and it was even more bloody. This time, he could not lift his entire arms.
At this moment, the tip of the Broken Star Sword in Eloise's hand was pointed at the armor on Augustus's chest. Looking at Augustus in disbelief, Eloise showed no mercy. After all, Augustus had just killed Grand Duke Gros.
All the Shire people inside were humiliated.
The silver fighting spirit suddenly erupted at the tip of the Broken Star Sword. Augustus flew out of the duel like a broken rag doll and fell to the ground. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. After this battle, Augustus will become the leader of the imperial capital.
joke.
I saw that the enchanted armor on his chest was broken into pieces, and his sternum was obviously collapsed. Marquis Galil quickly ran to Augustus, hugged his son's body, and burst into tears.
After seeing that Eloise won the duel, Charles III was not surprised and breathed a sigh of relief so that he could explain it to the Grand Duke of Gross.
Charles III angrily said to the Marquis of Galil, who was holding his son's body and crying bitterly, "Stop crying, your son is not dead. If you don't send him for treatment, he may really die!"
Marquis Galil was startled and immediately said with great joy, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"You should thank Elos for showing mercy," Charles III said calmly.
With a complicated expression on his face, Marquis Galil thanked Eloise who seriously injured his son, and immediately called for help to send the unconscious Augustus out of the palace for treatment.
The strong men present could all see that Elos was merciless. Being able to use weapons as a medium to transmit fighting spirit is a combat skill that can only be used by the gold level, but being able to accurately control it to the point of being injured without dying requires extremely strong control.
, Elos should be the pinnacle of gold, a half-step saint.
It seems that the adopted son of Grand Duke Gros is not just an illusion, but also a genius among geniuses. He has such strength at such a young age, and his future is limitless. At worst, he is also a strong man in the holy realm. Everyone present feels for Ilosu.
The evaluation immediately changed, and many nobles were planning to introduce their daughters to be married to Ilosu.
The aristocratic wives and young ladies present were even more infatuated when they saw Ilosu's strength. He was extremely handsome and powerful, which fit their image of a flawless lover.
There was also a bold and open-minded lady who didn’t want to marry him, but wanted to spend the night with him. She kept flirting and flirting with Eloise on the court in an attempt to gain Eloise’s favor. Fiona was fascinated by this.
Very angry.
When Yekaterina saw Fiona being so childish, she had a thought in her mind: Well, having a hot temper and a straightforward personality would be easier to deal with.
After Elos came off the field, he was somewhat unable to withstand the attacks of the noble ladies who came one after another. For him, dealing with these noble ladies was much more difficult than fighting.
Under Fiona's unceremonious push, Ilos was able to break out of the den of noble ladies. He hurriedly said goodbye to Charles III, Ivan, Peter and Ekaterina, and then fled in embarrassment with Fiona.
Royal Palace.
Looking at their retreating figures, Peter said playfully: "I quite like this Shire girl. She has a great personality and is quite suitable for me."
"Indeed, regardless of her appearance and personality, the status and status of this future Grand Duchess are quite suitable for you." Ivan teased.
"Miss Fiona already has a sweetheart. Second brother, I think your chances are slim." Ekaterina smiled sweetly.
Peter was a little disdainful, "Humph, he's just an adopted son, why should you argue with me? But little sister, I think you are interested in Iros, but you have never agreed to dance invitations from young talents in the imperial capital before."
Yekaterina's face turned red, but she returned to normal in just a moment, "His talent is very strong, and he will definitely achieve great results in the future. At worst, he will be a strong man in the sanctuary. I want to recruit talents for the empire. But I heard rumors,
The Grand Duke of Gross intends to betroth Fiona to Iloth."
"Let's see!" Peter already had a plan in mind, turned around and left the palace.
"This is very strange. It stands to reason that no matter how close the relationship is to an adopted son, he would not marry his only daughter to him. From an ethical point of view, it does not make sense." Ivan was a little confused.
"That is, there are secrets that are not known to us." Ekaterina became more and more curious about Eloise. How many secrets do you have?
Ilos and Fiona were riding horses on the streets of the imperial capital, heading towards the carriage arranged by the royal family. It was already late at night, and the city defense troops who implemented the curfew system did not stop or check the two after seeing them.
It looked like he had received the order.
"The aristocratic ladies in the imperial capital seem to like you very much. Especially Princess Yekaterina. Your dancing in coordination with each other is really perfect!" Fiona's words were full of sourness. In fact, she was not.
She didn't care who Ilos was dancing with, but the two of them danced so perfectly today that she was a little jealous.
Eloise suddenly felt a little funny. How come this eldest lady, who is usually fearless, has become worried about gains and losses recently?
"Fiona, don't worry, no matter how beautiful the princess is, I have no feelings for her now. What's more, the Grand Duke also recognizes us, so I won't let you down."
Fiona was always very nervous. After hearing the affirmative answer, she immediately threw her worries away and immediately urged the war horse to gallop wildly on the cold street. The somewhat helpless Eloise had to follow closely.
Later.
In the most prosperous aristocratic area of the imperial capital, in the residence of Marquis Galil, a senior physician and a great pharmacist were busy treating Augustus's injuries.
As the senior doctor finished bandaging, the great pharmacist poured a tube of red liquid into Augustus' mouth. The somewhat anxious Marquis Galil comforted him, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, your young master's injury has stabilized.
After taking my medicine, you will wake up tomorrow at the latest, and you will recover after staying in bed for a while."
Marquis Galil's anxious heart finally calmed down and he quickly thanked "Thank you two masters for saving the dog. I am very grateful." After saying that, he winked at the butler standing beside him. The butler understood and immediately let the two people outside the bedroom know.
The servant brought out two small boxes.
After handing the boxes to the two men one by one, Marquis Galil said: "It's a small thought, please accept it with the two masters."
Feeling the heavy weight of the box in their hands, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling overjoyed. The dissatisfaction of being dragged here so late at night immediately disappeared, and they quickly said: "Lord Marquis, this is what we should do, Ye
It’s already late, let’s take our leave first.”
After the Marquis of Galil sent the two of them away, he arranged for a maid to stay on duty for Augustus. After closing the door, he couldn't help but sigh!
The family's power and reputation in the imperial capital will soon cease to exist!
In the dim room, the faint light of the candle flickered leisurely, and the maid in charge of the night watch had already fallen asleep on the table without knowing when.
A shadow passed through the curtains in front of the window to the bed and stared at Augustus. A low and hoarse voice sounded: "Master Augustus, I know you are awake. We need to talk."
Augustus opened his eyes. In fact, he had woken up after taking the potion, but he was unwilling to face the reality of his ruined reputation and tried to sleep to temporarily escape it all.
At this moment, looking at the dark figure with unknown purpose, he tried to make a sound to wake up the sleeping maid, but the severe pain in his chest made his vision black out for an instant.
"No need to waste your efforts, she won't be able to recover for a while." A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the darkness, but the next words shocked Augustus, "Do you want to get back the honor you lost today?
, status, or a loved one?”
Black Shadow's words were full of temptation, but Augustus was full of vigilance.
"Who are you, what is your purpose, and why did you come to me? Now that my reputation has been ruined and my family has been implicated, I wonder what use I can be to you?" Augustus looked bitter.
The black shadow chattered and said: "We naturally have our own plans for you. Join us and you will naturally get back everything you have lost, including the people you miss!"
Even though he was moved, Augustus still had doubts: "I don't believe you have this strength. If your organization is as powerful as you say, why would you come to recruit me, a Silver-level loser?"
"It's silver today, but it won't be the same in the future." The black shadow took out a tube of golden potion that exuded a faint yellow light from his arms. Augustus' eyes couldn't help but froze, and then turned to burning.
This is the legendary medicine that can improve one's level by one level - Breath of God. Although it is only effective for people below the holy realm, it is still priceless. After all, only very few people can reach the holy realm. Many people who are stuck in the bottleneck are
I hope to break through the current level.
"Is this sincerity enough?" Black Shadow continued to seduce Augustus, "To be able to take out the Breath of God, you should have seen our strength. As for why I found you, a silver-level swordsman, it is because of your family. Although
The stupid thing you did today will make your family withdraw from the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, but your family's thousand-year heritage is still there. Isn't the temporary dormancy just to flourish better in the future? In the future, we will have a place to get you and your family.
!”
Augustus's heart, which was as dead as ashes, was burning again. He wanted to take revenge on Eloise, even though he had provoked it on his own initiative. He wanted to revive the family's reputation, and he also wanted to get the woman who rejected him, and then brutally tortured him.
She, let’s see how she can still be noble!
With difficulty, he stretched out his hands towards the potion in the black shadow's hand, touching the injury on his chest, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
The black shadow smiled lowly and put the breath of God under his pillow.
"Don't worry." The black shadow gradually shrank and swam quickly out the window, but the voice still echoed in Augustus' ears, "When you recover from your injuries, someone will guide you to use the breath of God, and then, you
Just disappear for a while."
The black shadow disappeared silently, just as he came silently, as if nothing had happened just now. If it weren't for the potion under the pillow, Augustus would have thought he was hallucinating.
Holding the breath of God tightly, Augustus had a crazy expression on his face hidden in darkness.
"I, Augustus Galil, swear that I will wash away this shame!"
