Chapter 20: duel (1/2)
Although this is the interstellar era, the tradition of dueling has been preserved. For powerful imperial nobles, when there are unadjustable contradictions, dueling is the ultimate means for them to resolve contradictions and defend honor.
The duel initiated by the aristocracy is serious in nature and protected by imperial law. Once started, it cannot be easily ended. It is extremely sacred.
And every duel will be broadcast live on the Internet, attracting the attention of the people of the entire empire.
Therefore, although this tradition is retained, if it is really deep hatred, nobles will never easily initiate a duel, because once they lose, they will lose their reputation and lose their lives.
Even for the aristocracy who is superior, it is a battle of fame and life.
With such a distinguished identity of Ji Ling, and ... a bad reputation, he was born to challenge a civilian, or a civilian idol with the title of tomorrow's star. The shock effect on the Internet was no less than a tenth tsunami! First of all, in terms of identity, it is bullying, secondly in terms of strength, it is insulting itself, and then associates the previous scandals of Jing Sui and Ning Yu. The love and hatred behind this are filled by hundreds of thousands of words. The twists and turns of the process are full of drama, and they have a topical degree, and the traffic and topics are constantly refreshing.
However, Ji Ling didn't care about those things. He was finally relieved until he saw Ning Yu's reply. He turned off the network and ignored the majestic waves outside, and was happy to go up and deliver the food.
Just that Ji Ling didn't care about the outside remarks, it didn't mean that the people around him didn't care.
The first to find him was his parents.
Madam Marina said anxiously as she entered the door: "Baby, what are you doing?"
Grand Duke Ji Ting's expression was dignified, and Shen said, "Xiao Ling, you are too impulsive."
Ji Ling lowered her head without saying a word. In fact, no matter what the original owner, at least his parents really loved him. Although he was only going on the plot in accordance with the original book, he still felt a little guilty when watching such a father and mother.
I can't hurt anyone by doing this, the only harm is probably my father and mother.
Mrs. Marina looked at her son's dejected look, and was very distressed. There was a look of worry in her beautiful eyes, and she said to her husband, "You are too serious, you have scared the baby!"
The grandfather Ji Ting had an ugly expression. For the first time, he didn't follow his wife's words, but Shen Sheng accused: "It's because you spoiled him that you would be so improper."
Madam Marina glared at him in dissatisfaction: "Why don't you say that the pariah is too arrogant, what does he want? Why promise a duel? Do you want to step on our baby's reputation? Do I think he is ambitious? ! "
Grand Duke Ji Ting was very helpless and said: "It was Xiao Ling who provoked provocatively. If he didn't agree, he would be told that he was afraid."
Mrs. Marina was even more angry: "I don't care what you say now!"
Grandmaster Ji Ting pressed his forehead and was also very distressed. It is absolutely impossible for his son to beat Ning Yu, but it is also shameful to avoid war.
It's really hard to end things like this.
After all, this is not any other trivial matter that can be overwhelming, but a sacred and fair duel! Even with his power as the Grand Duke, he has no right to stop.
Ji Ling looked at the frowning father and mother, silent for a while, and looked up with perseverance and said, "Sorry, Mom and Dad, you are worried ... But whether I win or lose, I want to solve the problem with him personally, Please forgive me for my waywardness. "
Although he felt guilty, he had to do it.
Grand Duke Ji Ting and Madam Marina looked at him silently, and finally Madam Marina sighed and said, "You can rest assured that your mother will not let you be at fault."
What can they do if the son is so persistent? In fact, they are most worried about Ji Ling's life safety, not whether his behavior will make Ji's family embarrassed. This is their sweetheart, and he is hurt a little.
As long as Ji Ling can return well, the others can only follow him.
Ji Ling almost vowed to promise that she would be careful, and said that she had to take away her father and mother for a long time, and exhaled heavily, looking in the direction of the door in a loss.
Ji Ling: [System, you said, what would they do if I came home one day ...]
System: [I think you think a lot. 】
Ji Ling: [? 】
System: [As long as you can complete the task to bring the world back on track, naturally everything is good, there will always be a way, but ... Are you sure you can complete the task? 】
Ji Ling: [……]
Where on earth can he not think about it, and he has to talk with this system of which pot does not open which pot :)
………………
The duel time is set after three days, but Ji Ling is destined to not spend these three days quietly.
Early the next morning, Ji Ling ushered in Wen Yan to persuade him.
This Ji Ling was a bit surprised. Wen Yan had not persuaded him in the last life. The big villain was most insidious and cunning. He would only speak in his own mind and look at his jokes on the surface condescendingly. He was persuaded by the risk of disgust?
But this time Wen Yan came.
Wen Yan walked in. He was wearing a black robe, silver hair and long hair tied behind his head. There were complex emotions in his black eyes, and he said, "Do you really want to fight Ning Yu?"
The Ji Ling people will never collapse, and nodded strongly: "Yes!"
Wen Yan looked at the boy's persistent eyes, his stubborn tone, but his heart was extremely heavy. He remembered everything that happened in the last life. He didn't want Ji Ling to go to a duel with Ning Yu anyway. It was just a humiliation, but ... Ling has come this far.
There are certain things that cannot be avoided, even if they are born again, they cannot be stopped.
Thinking of this, Wen Yan's heart had a strong resentment against Jing Sui. The young man loved you so much. Why can't you just care about his mood a little bit and push him to this point?
His right hand was clenched, and after a while, he took a box out of his arms and bent down to open it respectfully in front of Ji Ling.
Ji Ling glanced puzzledly. Inside was a purple grass with crystal-like leaves very beautiful.
Wen Yan thinly opened her lips, and congratulated slowly: "This is a herb that grows in the fire stream of Rexar. As long as you take it, even a powerful evolutionary, it will produce the illusion of disease. Any instrument is It can't be detected, and it does not cause any harm to the human body, and the effect naturally disappears after two months. "
Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan in doubt, and after a few seconds, he wanted to understand, but he wanted to prevent him from dueling with Ning Yu! Suddenly, a furious expression appeared, and he yelled, "What do you mean, you told me to pretend to be ill and avoid war?"
Wen Yan looked at Ji Ling's angry expression. Although he knew that what he said next might make the teenager even more angry, he still looked up and stared at him, saying, "If you use this, you will have a good reason to delay the duel time. And when things cool down, I naturally have a way to let it go. "
Ji Ling waved his hand to knock Wen Yan's box to the ground. There seemed to be anger burning in his eyes, staring at him loudly: "You look down on me? Do you think I'm not as good as that pariah?"
Wen Yan watched the carefully prepared herb fall to the ground in this way, and looked up at the boy's stubborn disapproval. His eyes were deeply bitter, and he slowly said, "I don't mean this, I just ..."
Ji Ling was afraid that he would continue to say more, and yelled angrily, "Go, get me!"
Said Wen Yan pushed hard, and slammed the door shut.
You don't want to ruin my plan!
No one can stop my determination to deliver food!
After he closed the door, he carefully peeped through the gap-peeping, and found that Wen Yan was still standing outside and refused to leave, his face was dignified, and his long and narrow eyes were complicated with worry and helplessness.
Alas, it looks like you really care about me.
Just suppose you are born again, but do n’t think that I will believe you. In this life, you guys were very deliberate. You were full of bad water. Whisper and drink, what reason do you care about me? Even if you are born again, you will hate me even more, right?
Wait ... shouldn't this guy want to trick him into eating poisonous weeds in order to get revenge?
It's getting more and more vicious!
Ji Ling glanced at the herb on the ground, took a paper towel with **** across it carefully, and threw it into the trash bin quickly. Then he stopped talking about Wen Yan and continued to sleep.
………………
Ji Ling woke up in the afternoon. When he got up and saw that Wen Yan had finally left, but before he could relax, he heard the servant hurried to report: "Master, Marshal Brandon is here."
The servant looked horrified and hurried, and his voice fell away. Ji Ling saw Brandon striding forward. The tall and burly man looked cold and cold, as if his expression was as cold as the battlefield he was killing. No wonder he was frightened to scare the servant.
Ji Ling stood up arrogantly, and also showed an unexpected look. How could Brandon come to see himself in his house, and he had no friendship with him!
It's a bit inexplicable.
Brandon stood in front of Ji Ling, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he looked at the young man intently. After all, he didn't listen to his advice to challenge Ning Yu. Can he really stop him? Brandon opened his mouth and made a low, astringent voice: "You have to fight Ning Yu."
Ji Ling suppressed the accident in his heart, looked at him with his head raised, and raised his eyebrows, "What about it?"
Brandon had countless discouraging words in his mind, but he knew that Ji Ling would not listen to himself. In the end, there was only one sentence left: "Then a bright and honest battle, it doesn't matter if you lose."
Ji Ling's heart is bright and upright how can he show my despicable and vicious, how can he set off Ning Yu's extraordinary heroism? The yin and sneer sneered, "You deserve your good subordinates, so sure he can win me."
Brandon looked helpless. He was already accustomed to Ji Ling's style of talking. In fact, the teenager was just jealous, so he left his ear in and right out and didn't take it seriously. "I will stand by your side." "
Ji Ling snorted: "I think you want to see my joke!"
Brandon shook his head. "No."
Ji Ling's face was unbelievable, and a fierce battle, finally took Brandon away.
He looked at the back of Brandon's departure, but he didn't relax, because maybe Carlos came when he didn't. The old fox always pretended to care about himself?
Ji Ling waited nervously, waited, and kept thinking about how to deal with Carlos, but Carlos did not come ...
………………
Ducal Palace.
Carlos was sitting in the study, holding a black-covered book in his hand, which was the one that Ji Ling had lived in in his home before, and often looked at, but if he looked closely, he knew that his sight did not fall In the book, the eyes were dark and gloomy.
In fact, the first time Ji Ling challenged Ning Yu, he got the news, but he didn't go to see Ji Ling.
Because he knew that Ji Ling would not change his mind.
Young people seem to be weak, willful, and arrogant ... In fact, they are more persistent and firm than anyone else. Therefore, can they love someone with such infatuation?
Sometimes Carlos thought that if the teenager's heart could be more fickle, it might be a good thing.
It is a pity that the young man has the most unchangeable heart.
Make yourself so admired, but feel powerless and painful for it.
Anderson stood side by side, respectfully, breathing very lightly, lest he disturbed the duke in thought.
For a long time, Carlos slowly put down the book in his hand. The cold look in the brown pupil passed by, his voice was low, and he slowly said, "Kill Ning Yu, remember to be clean."
Since it is impossible to stop the teenager, as long as Ning Yu is killed, the problem will naturally be solved.
He didn't want to move Ning Yu now, but he couldn't bear Ji Ling's reputation in the court. As long as Ning Yu happens to be 'accident', then even if someone doubts it, what dare to say?
Anderson watched His Excellency the Duke's indifferent command, but could feel the sensation of murder in his calm words, and stooped, "Yes."
Carlos nodded and nodded, "Go."
………………
Ji Ling knew nothing about these, and saw that Carlos did not come to persuade himself to relax, and soon arrived on the day of the duel.
After several days of fermentation, the duel on the Internet has been covered by the news of the duel. It has been the headline hotspot of major websites, and the major media have flocked to it, all gathered in the duel field with unprecedented prosperity.
When Ji Ling came to the duel and went to his preparation room, he just passed by with Ning Yu.
In order to express his dissatisfaction with Ning Yu's jealousy, Ji Ling stopped and spoke aggressively to him: "Please wait and see, I will defeat you!"
Ning Yu looked at him side by side, with a calm and indifferent expression in the emerald green eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, "Really? Then come out with your full strength and let me see ... "
He bowed his head close to Ji Ling, gazing into his eyes, slowly and meaningfully: "Let me see what you can do for him."
Ji Ling fell into Ning Yu's deep eyes, and there seemed to be a kind of emotion that he could not understand deep in his eyes, which made him lose his mind for a moment ... but he quickly converged, and snorted, ready to continue to Ning Yu Post your own crazy talk.
As a result, Ning Yu has turned around and left without hesitation, leaving him with a straight and powerful back that gradually went away.
Ji Ling opened her mouth: "..."
The vicious speech that had not been said had to be swallowed, hummed, and turned to his preparation room.
He first called his servant, and whispered something in his servant's ear, instructed him to make trouble for Ning Yu, and then began to wait nervously.
In order to ensure the fairness of the duel, both sides of the duel use the same standard mech, otherwise if they can use their own mech, the competition is not strength, but financial resources.
However, in this case, Ji Ling is very unfavorable. Using the same mech, then the battle-hardened senior evolutionist Ning Yu beat waste to pack Ji Ling, which is basically the level of a full-size Queen to abuse vegetables. Although the original owner is a stupid and poisonous love brain, he also knows that he can't beat Ning Yu ... So he ordered his servant to try and win by means of despicable means on Ning Yu's mech, but this behavior is definitely not to be Imperial law allows.
As a result, the reputation of the previous life was destroyed.
Ji Ling walked the plot seriously. Only in this way can he threaten Ning Yu in such a desperate situation, let Jing Sui be furious and personally defend Ning Yu!
The servant came back soon after going out, and gave Ji Ling a fixated look, Ji Ling settled down, everything is only owed to Dongfeng!
………………
At the duel's VIP seat, Carlos was sitting on the sofa, holding his cane with his hands in his hands, and there was a gloomy, icy look in his eyebrows.
Anderson has been with him for many years, and his work has always been safe and reliable. In order to fool Ning Yu 'accidentally,' he sought three ss-class super powers to join forces to kill Ning Yu. It stands to reason that Ning Yu will die, but ... Failed.
Ning Yu escaped from the three hunters and then hid in Brandon's house, leaving him no chance to shoot again.
But is that really ... lucky?
Carlos always believed that the so-called luck was just a coincidence. As long as it was adequately prepared, there would be no chance behavior. For the opponent he wants to strike, he never gives the other side such ‘lucky’, but this time, Ning Yu escaped lucky.
He didn't show any unusual abilities, and the timing of his escape was full of coincidence, and he was seriously injured. It seems that he is just lucky.
So, is it a so-called fluke or is it hiding strength?
Carlos's eyes narrowed slightly. This man may not be as simple as it seems, and he probably despised him.
The other VIP rooms were also full.
Wen Yan looked at the field with a frown and a dark expression in his eyes. In the end, there was no way he could stop Ji Ling, stop this duel ... Now I can only hope that Ji Ling is safe.
Brandon was in another room, watching the situation inside, and was equally heavy. He wouldn't let Ji Ling be in any way.
At the same time, countless other nobles came to the scene and followed the unprecedented duel.
Netizens who cannot come to the scene watch live broadcasts on various occasions.
The topics discussed on the Internet have been building high-rises after high-rises, almost full of ridicule Ji Ling's uncontrollable power, and even bet he will lose this duel within a few minutes.
"Jiling's waste, we Ning Yu can easily hit a hundred."
"One hundred less, do you look down on us Ning Yu Da? Ning Yu Da is a s-class strong!"
"Some people just can't help it, others don't care about him, he has to send his face to others to fight, we wait to see a good show."
