"Shut up!" Fuller shouted at his nephew, looking carefully at the tall and handsome young man opposite him through his monocle, "Excuse me...is your Excellency Umberto Esposito?"
Umberto crossed his arms across his chest and nodded lightly.
Fuller took a breath, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a shiver.
"Uncle! Do you recognize this boy?"
Wallace finally realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Fuller turned around, stared at his nephew who didn't know who he had offended, suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard.
"Shut your stinking mouth, idiot! Unless you're tired of living!"
A little mage dueling with the "Archangel" on Pattus Street?
Are you kidding me?
There is no such way to seek death!
Another referee, seeing the conflict on the sidelines, quickly blew his whistle and announced that the duel was suspended.
Gao Fei and Hashim, who had exhausted their magic power and vital energy, got a chance to breathe because of this unexpected pause. They landed from the sky and took the opportunity to recover their physical strength.
"What happened?"
"Mr. Wallace accused Mr. Esposito of cheating and using magic to change the weather over the dueling arena."
"Ha! If I remember correctly, not long ago, Mr. Esposito also accused the other party of cheating in this way."
The three referees got together to discuss how to solve this difficult problem.
"Three distinguished gentlemen, please allow me to interrupt you."
Lisa Colt walked over.
"Just as you just judged that the sudden rain was not an off-site factor, according to the same logic, you should also judge that the clear weather at this moment will not affect the fairness of this duel."
"Miss Colt, I do think so."
"Me too."
The two referees expressed their opinions.
The third referee hesitated and couldn't help but look at Fuller.
Lisa caught the strange change of expression on his face and smiled slightly.
"To be honest with you gentlemen, I am an 'adjudicator' who has just graduated from the seminary. I prefer the retro title of 'religious inquisitor'."
"You must also know that we judges are best at detecting lies and distinguishing truth from falsehood. Frankly speaking, most of the liars, magicians and cultists who were sent to the stake by us in history deserved their punishment."
"If you three gentlemen don't mind, I would like to use my little talent and use the divine power given by my Lord Pelor to identify who is lying on both sides of the dispute. What do you think?"
While the three referees were still hesitating, Umberto coughed twice and spoke with a half-smile.
"I fully agree with Miss Colt's suggestion and believe that this respectable judge can distinguish right from wrong and clarify the truth."
"But, I have a small request."
"The three respectable referees should also undergo the same polygraph test to prove that you are enforcing the law impartially and are not secretly accepting bribes from someone to deliberately favor one party."
"The integrity of these three gentlemen is well known. I don't think you will refuse this little test, right?"
"To be honest, I'm not happy to be doubted like this by you!" One of the referees was the first to express his opinion, "But in order to prove that I am not guilty, I am willing to accept Miss Colt's polygraph test!"
"I have no objection either." Another referee nodded.
"It's okay with me..." the third referee said bravely.
Wallace's face turned blue and white, and his lips trembled.
Fuller glanced at his nephew with hatred, turned to the referee and said: "Wallace was neurotic just now and accused Mr. Esposito for no reason. I apologize on his behalf. I don't need a polygraph or anything like that. It's better to do it as soon as possible."
It’s best to finish this duel.”
"It's best this way, so as not to waste everyone's time."
Lisa will stop when she sees fit.
Her professional ability "Guided Confession" can indeed force a person to tell the truth, but the premise is that the other person cannot pass the Will save.
Since there is an exemption, there are variables.
If the liar is extremely determined and insists that what he is telling is the truth, "guided confession" may not be effective.
The three referees summed it up, and in order to avoid the endless duel between the two parties, a temporary rule was added, requiring that neither party in the duel should stay in the air for more than 30 seconds, otherwise the duel would be automatically ruled a loss.
David Fuller's face improved slightly.
Although the favorable weather was lost, fortunately the newly established rules were more favorable to Hashem.
The fight between the two sides stayed on the ground, and Hashim had no reason to lose to his opponent.
"The Bearded" Hashem thought so too.
The duel resumes when the referee announces the interruption.
He immediately activated "Flying Step" and "Sprinting", and combined with his specialty "Mastery Jump", he leaped up like a cannonball and struck the opponent who was landing on the ground with a single palm strike.
Bang!
The surging palm energy surged in the air, but it missed the target.
Before Hashim could make a move, Gao Fei had already changed from the wind elemental form to the earth elemental form, accelerated his fall, and disappeared out of thin air the moment his feet touched the ground.
People watching from the outside were in an uproar.
He opened his eyes wide, but could not find any trace of Gao Fei.
Hashim struck the air with a palm and fell back to the ground. He looked around and saw no trace of his opponent, and his thick eyebrows were furrowed.
After thinking for a while, he gave up the search, simply closed his eyes, and used his body and ears to sense the slight movement in the duel field.
The monk's unique skill "Heavenly Ear" gives him hearing and touch that are beyond ordinary people. Every hair on his body can feel the movement within 60 feet around him.
The water underfoot rippled.
The slight tremor coming from the ground was transmitted to the rain, amplified into circular ripples, and spread to Hashim's feet.
These unusual movements aroused his alertness, and he jumped up without thinking.
"Dexterous movements" combined with "mastery jumping", plus "flying cornice step", make his instant burst of jumping power so terrifying that he can soar to a height of more than 40 meters!
At the same time, the source of the ground tremors, the earth parted in all directions, and a giant made of rock and sand broke out of the earth, revealing a pair of thick arms and half of his majestic body.
The large earth element in the form of Goofy, the fingertips almost touch the soles of Hashem's feet.
It's a pity that it was just a little bit short, and the monk who was extremely vigilant slipped away.
The assault launched from the ground failed, so Gao Fei did not hesitate and immediately escaped!
At the same time as he sank into the ground, Hashim also shot a water arrow from the air.
call out!
The water arrows carved a deep ravine on the surface, causing mud to splash.
With the same slight difference, it failed to hit Gao Fei who had already dived deep into the earth.
Hashim cannot fly, nor can he violate the rules of dueling by remaining in mid-air and having to fall back to the ground.
The opponent transforms into an earth element and can move freely under the ground.
And as long as he puts his feet on the ground, he may be attacked by the opponent at any time.
