Chapter 29 Before the Duel (please follow up)
When Richard came out of Seles's laboratory, he happened to meet Mei Luo at the corner of the stairs. After not seeing each other for a few days, Mei Luo lost a little weight, but her beauty increased instead. When she saw Richard, Mei Luo also looked surprised.
"Senior, I was just looking for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!" Richard said with a smile.
"Richard, long time no see! I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Why don't we go have lunch together now? I'll treat you to it!" Mei Luo stroked her hair beside her ears.
"Senior Mei Luo, you helped me a lot when we were in the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile last time. I don't know how to thank you. How can I let you invite me? I'll do it!" Richard said sincerely. said.
"I'm sorry, but if you really want to thank me, then you can invite me this time and go to the second floor of the cafeteria! I'll treat you next time, hehe~" Mei Luo said with a smile.
"Of course it's no problem, but I only have three magic stones with me now. I wonder if they are enough to go to the second floor for a good meal?" Richard scratched his head a little. It would be embarrassing if he didn't have enough money to treat someone to dinner.
"Haha, don't worry. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it. Let's go!" Mei Luo pulled Richard and walked towards the cafeteria. The young and hot body brushed past him, and Richard suddenly felt a little strange.
The two came to the second floor of the cafeteria and sat down by the window. The last time Richard and Ram had dinner on the first floor, he had heard that the second floor was a high-end restaurant and the third floor had private rooms, but he had never come up Yes, this is the first time.
Sure enough, the entire second floor was magnificent, and there were many strange and strange ingredients. Richard was immediately dazzled.
Mei Luo seemed to be very familiar with the dishes and ordered two grilled beef ribs, one sharp tooth fish roe and one berry salad.
"Richard, will you be free in the next two days? The team has not been out on missions in the past few days since Niekluo's accident. I would like to invite you to become our official team member. What do you think about it?"
Richard did not reply to Mei Luo immediately, but thought about it carefully. If he and Mei Luo were on the same team, the advantage would be that they were both veteran students for more than a year and were stronger, but the problem was also obvious. He was just a Ordinary team members.
His original plan was to identify a few new students and form a team with him as the core to complete the task.
This time, when he accepted the challenge from Davos, one of the important factors was that he wanted to establish his prestige among the new students! Otherwise, he could completely ignore the other party, and the other party would never dare to act openly and challenge the majesty of the school.
Thinking of this, Richard shook his head slightly and said, "Senior sister, thank you very much for your recognition of me, but I still want to form a team among the freshmen to complete the task!" "It doesn't matter, I'm not involved in this either
. Hans said it, so I just mentioned it casually." Suddenly, Mei Luo's big eyes couldn't hide the disappointment.
The girl's mood is like a thunderstorm, sadness and sadness come and go quickly.
After the two continued chatting for a while, Mei Luo's mood improved again.
After returning to the dormitory, Richard closed the door and began to pace in the room. After a while, he would go to the duel field.
"I wonder what Davos's trump card is? However, I'd better be cautious!" Richard immediately used the trick [Skeleton Control], and after controlling the skeleton of the quasi-knight into shape, he first put a mask on it and put it on He took off his boots and finally put on a gray robe.
Now when he controls the skeleton to walk, it's hard to tell whether it's a human or a skeleton.
Richard nodded with satisfaction, then picked up a half-sword and hung it on the skeleton's waist. He looked around again and saw no flaws. Perfect!
At that time, he plans to hide the skeleton on the side of the duel field. If something unexpected happens, Richard can quickly control the skeleton to enter the battle. This is allowed by the rules.
After closing his eyes and concentrating for a while, Richard saw that the time was almost up, so he put on his leather armor, picked up a gray wood short bow, a bag of black feather arrows and a knight's long sword, looking like a knight-errant, and walked slowly to the duel field.
At the same time, a masked man in gray robe followed closely a few meters behind him. When he arrived at the duel arena, he found that the duel arena was bustling with people. Several arenas inside were crowded with people, but they were all places where second- and third-level wizard apprentices settled their fights.
Richard looked around and realized that the duel arena between first-level wizard apprentices was set up at the edge of the duel field, and there were obviously far fewer people watching.
He didn't expect that there was such a place in the school.
As he approached, he saw Ram who had been waiting for him. As soon as he saw Richard coming, Ram immediately pulled Richard and said anxiously: "Richard, why are you really here?"
Just when Ram was about to say something, a familiar voice sounded. Cut off Ram's speech.
"Richard, I didn't expect you to arrive earlier than me. I thought you didn't even dare to come!" It was Davos's voice.
Richard turned around and saw Davos, who was fully armed and wearing a fine knight's armor. He had a knight's sword on his waist and a huge tower shield in his left hand. Behind him were four or five students, who should be all of them. Came here to cheer him on.
"You're overthinking it, let's start now!" After finishing speaking, Richard strode onto the ring.
He planned to start early and finish early, after all, he was quite busy.
At the same time, he used his mental power to secretly control the masked man, hiding him in the crowd of onlookers. He was also wearing a gray robe, and it was impossible to detect the difference without careful identification.
"Haha, feel free, Gilad, go call the notary!"
When both of them got on the ring, an apprentice with three crosses of bones on his chest said loudly: "One party voluntarily surrenders or loses the ability to resist the duel. It's over! The ordinary duel that Richard and Davos applied for begins now!"
Suddenly, the freshmen in the same batch of No. 70 and 80 in the audience burst into cheers, and there were actually many girls among them!
Maybe young people always like excitement, and this kind of formal duel, a passionate collision, is the most popular for them!
"How long do you think Richard can last?" one person asked.
"I guess I can hold on for about three seconds. Look, Richard is actually holding a short bow. Can this shoot through Voss's thick armor? At least get a military steel crossbow!" One person shook his head. , scorned Richard's equipment.
"Maybe he took a smart route and planned to kite Davos!" A person's eyebrows showed a thoughtful expression.
"I'm kidding, you haven't seen Davos' last battle. Last time, his opponent thought the same way. He was wearing heavy armor and was definitely not flexible. As a result, he thought his coquettish move was intercepted by Davos. Stop!" one person choked.
It seems that Davos still has many fans among the freshmen. In contrast, Richard has almost never been exposed before this. Most people only know that he is a new transfer student!
Human nature always prefers familiarity and always worships the strong, so most of the new students present did not think highly of this slightly thin transfer student, including Ram and Stepina of course.
Stephana was looking at the two people in the confrontation from the corner of the ring. If she had deliberately wanted to win over Richard before, now she began to really appreciate Richard in her heart.
She has always had her own opinion, otherwise she would not have disagreed with the marriage appointed by her family and come to the Ignis School. She has sworn since she was a child that she will never be a man's vassal.
What she didn't expect was that a young heir of a baron born in a remote place would have the courage to accept a duel invitation from Davos, the swordsman genius of the capital. Originally, she just thought that since the other party was invited by Laosheng to do the task, he should have some special skills that she could draw over for her use.
But now, what a pity!
