Just as the two of them had complicated expressions, two more figures came from the end of the street.
It was also an old man and a young man, but compared to the previous two, the old one was brimming with confidence, while the young one was shaking his head and sighing helplessly. Gerian's appearance always seemed to be full of joy. Before he entered the square, the fellow shouted at Old Merlin from afar, "Good morning, Matthew. You didn't sleep well last night, did you? Just look at the dark circles under your eyes … "
"…" Half of the leaders of the forces in the stands fainted on the spot. Could this old fellow be any more arrogant and ungentlemanly?
"Gerian, you're like a fly." Old Merlin's face was livid. He gave Gerian a cold look, and went straight to the temporary stands.
"I say, Matthew, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Can't we chat a little longer?" Gerian would not give up no matter what. He followed Old Merlin to the stands and sat down on the seat prepared for him. He even gave Castellan Isaac, who was in the middle, a look, indicating for him to quickly move aside so that he could get closer to Old Merlin.
Lin Li stood in the middle of Daylight Square, looking at Gerian's bloated back, and shook his head helplessly …
"Since both of you are here, let me, the notary, say a few words." Isaac ignored Gerian's harassment and stood up from the marble seat. His strong voice echoed over the square. "A month ago, the Merlin Family and the Guild of Magic jointly agreed on this duel, and I, Isaac, am honored to be the notary of this duel. I will do my best to maintain the fairness of this duel!"
"Now, please allow me to introduce the two dueling parties. They are Felic of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic and Cromwell of the Merlin Family."
As soon as Isaac's voice fell, there was a thunderous applause from the stands. It was dedicated to Cromwell and Lin Li. In the chaotic city of Jarrosus, people only respected the strong and those with courage. No matter who they were, as long as they dared to walk into Daylight Square, they were entitled to everyone's applause.
Isaac sat down amidst the applause, but there was a deep worry on his face. After this duel, Jarrosus City would no longer be peaceful …
Old Merlin stood up with a tired look. His voice sounded hoarse, but it was clearly heard by everyone. "I just want to say that whoever insults the Merlin Family must pay the price, no matter who he is."
Amid Old Merlin's double-entendre, Gerian stood up naturally. The smile was still on his fat face, but his voice spread like thunder under the spread of magic. "F * ck you, Merlin Family. So what if I insult you?"
"…"
There was a sudden silence in the Daylight Square. Everyone had a dumbfounded expression on their faces. No one knew what had happened, and they only stared blankly at the two Archmages …
Old Merlin's face was livid. He stared at Gerian as if his eyes were about to spit fire. If it weren't for Castellan Isaac sitting in the middle and holding the two of them down, there might have been another battle between the strongest mages of Jarrosus in the stands before the duel started.
"Forget it, I won't educate you for now. I'll settle the score with you after the duel." Gerian, who had just scolded him, was like a victim. He cursed angrily, and only after Isaac's persuasion did he unwillingly sit in his seat.
A farce was playing out in the stands, but Lin Li's attention was always on Cromwell.
The Cromwell opposite him seemed to be very different from the past. That powerful aura was something the Cromwell had never had before, and the magical wave emanating from him was even stronger than his own.
"The Merlin Family is indeed powerful …"
Feeling Lin Li's surprise, Cromwell's confident face could not help but reveal a cruel smile. He had been waiting for so many days for the moment he stepped into the Daylight Square. He enjoyed the surprise in Lin Li's eyes very much. He hoped that in the next duel, the mage who had once insulted him would show an expression of despair and fear in the face of absolute strength …
The humiliation brought about by the Water Curtain Impact in the Emerald Tower had always been deeply engraved in Cromwell's heart. He still remembered the way Lin Li looked at him. It was a kind of condescending disdain, and Lin Li didn't treat him as an opponent of the same level at all. To him, the Water Curtain Impact that knocked him out of the Emerald Tower was like throwing a bag of trash.
"Long time no see, Mage Felic." The way Cromwell greeted him was exactly the same as when Lin Li leaned over and looked at him on the steps of the Emerald Tower … When he said this, Cromwell's heart was full of anticipation. He looked forward to seeing the fear on his opponent's face, just like when he was lying on the steps.
"Alright, I won't see you then, Mage Cromwell." Unfortunately, Lin Li disappointed him. The trace of surprise in Lin Li's eyes only flashed for a moment, followed by a smile that Cromwell abhorred. This polite and condescending smile instantly reminded him of the humiliation he had suffered in the past.
"I hope you can still smile later …" Cromwell's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a faint ominous glint.
"Same to you."
Castellan Isaac stood up again just as the two were at each other's throats.
"Now, as an impartial person, I declare — the duel begins!"
As soon as Isaac's voice fell, Lin Li felt a violent magical wave. Then, he saw Cromwell raise his magic staff, and a fireball with a long tail of flames whistled toward him …
"F * ck!" Lin Li put up the Elemental Shield while secretly regretting in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have used the Water Curtain Impact to sneak attack him. Not only did it cause a battle of the strongest mages in Jarrosus, but it also taught this guy Cromwell to be smart. Now, he even knew how to make a preemptive strike …
