Vol 5 Chapter 19: Choose 1 from 2 (on)

what?
Duel ... duel?
There was silence in the camp, and it seemed to be a ghost.
Salika, who akimboly raised her sword, was very complacent about the performance just now, and enjoyed everyone's dumbfounded and lost appearance.
Especially at the moment when the young Duke Byrne finally showed a stunned expression, she felt that she was right!
"Yes, duel!"
Excited Salika showed a very brilliant smile, turned over and closed the knife; a stepped on the map table, directly fell in front of the black-haired wizard, grinning and staring at him face to face, beside The blocked Lucien was directly ignored by her:
"Defeat me, convince me, or kill me ... the five hundred silver armor behind me is yours!"
As she said, she raised her eyebrows and showed a very provocative look at Loren: "If you don't think it's enough, then I will bet on the big Boi Hundred Thousand Horse Husband; how, dare you?"
The dark-haired wizard stared at the wolf-like eyes with a formal smile on his face-the expression was completely frozen.
In the camp where the needle was audible, in addition to Earl Seth Braha ’s anxious and composure exhalation, there was only the expression of Master Azhamai, as expected, plus a low sigh.
"Honorable Miss Salika Jonah ..."
In an atmosphere where everyone was bewildered, in the end, Earl Eckert stood up and coughed heavily: "Byan respects your ideas and wishes ... but for this reason, the Duke is unlikely to accept your invitation to duel . "
"It's not just about you, but also the friendship between Turin and the two families of Jonah and the two principalities. The victory or defeat of either side will eventually make this friendship crack!"
The Count of Fury said was justified and convincing; everyone in the camp who had just looked awkward nodded. Count Braha and Master Ashamai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got a step down.
Only Salika, who was interrupted by the "good show", was a little angry, looking at this old man who stood up and disturbed his "good thing" ... The old man under the world was really the same annoyance!
The next second, a cunning expression on her face suddenly flashed, and then she sighed "heavyly": "Ah ... since it is related to the friendship between Byrne and Poi, there is no way-I I apologize that I did too much. "
Just before everyone was relieved, I heard her next sentence:
"Since the friendship between Byrne and Poe is to be maintained, let the Duke of Byrne command the Poe cavalry to save us the Boye-then, how about I just marry the Duke of Byrne directly?"
She opened her arms and was excited to enjoy the dumbfounded expression of everyone around her: "So, the two principalities merged into one, and Duke Byrne has a justified reason to save the Principality of Poi!"
"Please, please wait!" Earl Braha, who finally couldn't sit up, jerked up and waved his hand to stop: "On this matter, we Boi ..."
"What about you, what do you say?"
Directly ignoring the pale-faced Earl Braha, the smiling and happy Salika turned his gaze to Loren again, and stood on the table like a man caressing his chest, staring at him with his eyes raised:
"Let me ask again-Honorable Duke of Lorne, Lord Loren Turin, are you going to win me, or ... marry me?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the dark-haired wizard.
Loren, who had a stiff expression, still smiled awkwardly, his mouth twitching nonstop.
There was silence throughout the camp, quiet as if he had really seen a ghost.
Salika ... Jonah, she did it on purpose.
Her idea is very simple, and it is not difficult to guess at all-from the beginning of the quarrel to the current "nonsense", there is only one purpose for everyone to get out of the stage, that is, to fight for this "Thousand Account City Rescue" Initiative.
If you agree to a duel with her, everyone wo n’t look good no matter whether she wins or loses, it ’s a loss of both sides ... Even if the last two Principalities break up, it does n’t matter to Salika, she is not yet Grand Duke Poi;
And if she agrees to propose, then she will definitely put forward more "more reasonable" conditions and requirements, and even let Baine rescue Poi at no cost;
But if Loren did not agree, then some concessions and compromises would have to be made to her, such as the subsequent rescue battle led by the Jonah family ... this may be what she really wanted.
As for why Loren would be so clear about these-Morning Star Forest, Ebden, Broken Mountain, Red Blood Castle ... similar routines, he has used countless times before, and this time is no different.
The only difference is that I am no longer the other side of the routine, but the one that is routinely ...
Looking at the linen braided girl with a more complacent expression, Loren sighed heavily.
Otherwise, make a concession yourself? Anyway, this war is far from over, and it is not worthy of arguing with the Jonah family for such a city ...
"Ok, then a duel!"
Just as the dark-haired wizard was about to compromise, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Before he could turn around, the small wizard with a determined expression was already standing between Loren and Salika, staring at her while blocking the black-haired wizard behind him:
"I will replace Loren and accept your challenge!"
"You?" Salika looked up contemptuously, frowning impatiently: "I am the heir of the Jonah family, the next Grand Duke Boye, you ..."
"You are not Duke of Boe, and the person you want to challenge is the Lord of Byrne!"
Ai Yin interrupted him coldly, his stubborn blue eyes stubborn: "According to the imperial law, he has the power to appoint others to fight you!"
Salika's face changed: "Then why do you ..."
"I am his friend, I am the principal of Loren Turin, and the prince of the Duke of Byrne, the president of the Wizards Association!"
With a reddish complexion, the little wizard once again interrupted Salika ’s words: "Now! I, Ain Rand of Lotel, the alchemist recognized by the Nine-Man Star Wizard Tower, officially challenge you, Honorable Miss Salika Jonah! "
"I also give you two options now, either withdraw your opinion or accept my challenge!" Looking at the stiff expression of Salika, Ain also raised her head provocatively:
"Or ... you don't even have the confidence to beat a shaman like me?"
In the quiet camp, the countless counts and lords faced such a weird situation, and they had no idea what to say.
Learning from Earl Eckert's cough, the embarrassed Master Ashamai stood up: "Miss Salica, this Ain Rand wizard does not mean ..."
"I know very well what this wizard is, Master Ashamai!"
The wolf-like girl interrupted coldly, looking at the other guy who jumped out to destroy his "plan", and his good face also showed a bit of a terrible distortion:
"Very well ... If the Duke does not mind that his wizard friend is crushed on the ground, then I will accept your challenge!"
"I will also return this sentence to you intact, Miss Salika Jonah."
As for a dark-haired wizard who always wanted to interject, they were completely ignored by the two ...
"Very good ..." Salika turned his gaze to Ain and said coldly: "What weapon are you going to use, little wizard?"
"Let me remind you first ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This kind of sacred duel is not allowed to use your weird potions and tricks."
"I don't need any kind of potion to deal with you. Bows and arrows are enough."
The little wizard frowned slightly, with a serious expression: "Allow me to remind you that it is better to prepare another shield-my arrow is fast."
"We are Boi, the saber is all!" Salika's expression was very disdainful: "The shield is something that the cowards need ..."
"clang--!!!!"
She hadn't finished speaking yet, a huge impulse came from the blade, and she immediately let go!
The shocked Salika and all the counts in the camp turned their heads at the same time, looking at the bow of the war in the hands of the little wizard in disbelief.
Ai Yin raised her bow and hummed at her expressionlessly:
"Now ... do you want a shield?"
