Shen Lang met Duke Debose in a very special place.
It turned out to be the Colosseum, and she was actually fighting with a lion.
And there was no audience.
This was completely beyond Shen Lang's expectations.
The key point was that she was not wearing iron armor, but was very cool. She looked like an ordinary fighting slave. If it weren't for her broken sword and helmet, Shen Lang really wouldn't have recognized her as Duke Debose.
"Roar …"
This lion was much bigger and more ferocious than the one Shen Lang had seen in the zoo.
Shen Lang knew that there used to be a very valiant lion on Earth, the Cape lion, which could weigh more than 800 kilograms, more than twice as much as the African lion. And this lion in front of him was more than twice as much as the African lion, weighing nearly 500 kilograms.
It pounced over with incomparable ferocity.
"Clang …"
There was a loud crash as Duchess Debus blocked the lion's charge with her shield.
This strength was really amazing.
And at this time, she clearly could have killed the lion with a single stab, but she did not do so, and instead continued to compete with the lion in strength.
"Zha …"
With a loud shout, her body suddenly bounced, and she actually fiercely pushed the lion that weighed nearly 500 kilograms away.
This woman was really strong. Shen Lang's scalp went numb as he watched. After taking off her helmet, would she become a tough woman, or even a devil with muscles?
Next, Duchess Debus used her body again and again to block the lion's wild pounce, and again and again she pushed it out.
After a full dozen times, she began to dodge the lion's charge. Her agility was really amazing, and her legs seemed to be installed with springs.
The lion's speed was already very fast, and its body was huge, so when it pounced over, especially with its claws, it was really difficult to resist.
But she easily dodged it every time. Shen Lang could see that she did not want to kill the lion, and only wanted to practice martial arts with it. If she wanted to kill it, she could have killed the lion several times.
After fighting like this for a few rounds. Duchess Debus threw away her sword and shield, put on her gloves, and wrestled with the lion bare-handed.
This made Shen Lang dizzy. Did he have to be so strong?
"Ao ao ao ao …"
The lion roared and pounced and bit crazily.
But its two legs were caught in Debus's hands, and her whole body was pressed against its belly, so that the lion could not bite her.
"Zha!"
With a loud shout, Debus suddenly flung this thousand-pound lion out.
He was really thrown out like a gunny sack.
Bang!
The lion smashed into the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
After getting up, the lion spat out blood. After looking at Deborah, it silently walked away and returned to its cage.
Shen Lang's scalp went numb. Another female Tyrannosaurus.
Seeing that the battle was over, the middle-aged eunuch bowed.
"Greetings, my infinitely beautiful master. I believe that your nickname is going to be Lion Tamer."
Duchess Debus took off her golden helmet and revealed her face.
Wow! It can't be?
Shen Lang was stunned by this scene.
Long red hair that was like flames, a gorgeous and threatening face. This kind of western beauty had another kind of impact.
Shen Lang had seen many stunning beauties in the Eastern world, and the one that stood out was undoubtedly Zhong Shishi.
She was truly unparalleled in this world, like a scorching flame. And this Duchess Debus in front of him was this kind of gorgeous beauty that could burn people.
Especially her nose, it was exquisite and straight, as if it was specially carved by an artist. Her lips seemed to be stained with blood, red like fire.
She was really tall, about 1.87 meters. Her legs were super long, giving people the feeling that below her neck were all legs. Her chest was not big, but her butt was shockingly perky, and her two long legs were shockingly straight.
At this moment, Shen Lang could not help but ridicule. What kind of level is your painter? How did he manage to paint you, a great beauty, into such a state?
This Duchess Debus glanced at Shen Lang, then walked into the castle.
"Please follow me," the middle-aged eunuch said.
… …
They came to wait outside a study.
It turned out that it was not just Shen Lang, there were two competitors.
They had one thing in common with Shen Lang, they were both Eastern handsome men, and at least one in a million.
After seeing Shen Lang, the other two Eastern handsome men's eyes were full of hostility and disdain.
But no one spoke. Shen Lang could not help but wonder, what was this competition about?
After more than half an hour, Duchess Debus appeared once again.
At this time, she had changed into a luxurious long dress, looking noble and gorgeous, but also full of elegance and mystery. Compared to the fierce and valiant just now, it was as if she was a different person.
Shen Lang could clearly feel the heartbeat and breathing of the two Eastern handsome men beside him. In the face of such a noble, wealthy and stunning widow, it was believed that any man would not be able to breathe.
Duchess Debus sat down.
"Do you need an interpreter for you? My eunuchs are proficient in many languages, "Duchess Debus said.
The voice was full of magnetism, not soft, but with a trace of the toughness of a superior.
"Talon greets the three Eastern young masters." The middle-aged eunuch's Chinese was perfect.
"No need." The handsome man on the left of Shen Lang said: "I am Kun Yan, my ancestors were once aristocrats of the Eastern world, but my family has been in the Western world for more than thirty years. I used to be a court teacher of the Xilun Dynasty, proficient in all kinds of rehearsals, of course, including the Xilun language."
The Xilun language he said should be Latin.
The handsome man on the right of Shen Lang also said: "I am Qin Gu, about three hundred years ago, my family had already crossed the ocean to the Xilun Dynasty, and became the envoy of the Eastern world to the Xilun Dynasty. Of course, it is a pity that the maritime exchanges between the Eastern world and the Western world have been completely cut off, so my family has also become overseas. "
These two people were showing off their identities.
One was a century-old aristocrat of the Eastern world, who fled overseas because of the defeat of the struggle.
The other was an envoy of the Xilun Dynasty sent by the Eastern world, because of the changes in the situation, he settled overseas.
But both of them were of noble birth.
Debus looked at Shen Lang and said: "What about you?"
"My name is Chu Zhongtian, born a commoner, grew up in a brothel." Shen Lang said.
Immediately, the two beautiful Eastern men around him covered their noses and took a step away from him, obviously ashamed to stand next to him.
But Duke Debus did not have any reaction.
"As everyone knows, the private life of the Xilun Dynasty's aristocrats is very chaotic, but I am an exception." Duke Debus said: "Ever since my husband passed away, I have been living a chaste life."
As soon as these words came out, the two beautiful men beside her continued to flatter and praise her.
Duke Debus said: "Next, I am going to carry out a sacred ceremony, so I need a noble and pure Eastern man to be my partner. My loyal Talon has chosen a total of three candidates for me, which are the three of you. "
Sacred ceremony? What ceremony?
And I need to find a beautiful Eastern man as a lover? Why does it sound so ridiculous, isn't it to summon a gigolo?
Debus said: "Of course, I have already paid the price for you, three thousand gold coins per person. So in a strict sense, from the moment you entered the castle, you are my people, and I have the right to deal with you in any way. "
This doesn't sound good.
Debus continued: "I only need one partner, and the remaining two who are eliminated will be castrated and become my eunuchs."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Shen Lang and the other two beautiful Eastern men changed, and their balls shrank.
The middle-aged eunuch shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe it will hurt a little when you are cut, but after that, you will enter a new life, which is pretty good."
Duke Debus said: "Get ready, tomorrow I will test you, and the one who wins will become my lover and partner to carry out the sacred ceremony. And the other two who fail will immediately be castrated and become my eunuchs. "
… ….
Shen Lang returned to his room.
This matter was giving off a very strange aura.
Shen Lang could see that this Duchess Debus was indeed living a life of widowhood, and her private life was very strict. Of course, this wasn't necessarily because her morals and sentiments were particularly high, and it could also be that she wasn't very interested in this aspect.
Then why did she suddenly need a lover, and a beautiful Eastern man at that?
What exactly was that sacred ceremony?
Recently, a large number of troops had entered Bi Jin City, and she was still continuously recruiting strong slave troops. It was obvious that she was preparing for war. Who was she preparing for war with? The Witch Empire?
Then what did this sacred ceremony have to do with this possible war?
Shen Lang sat on the balcony, casually reading a book, and the candles around him were very bright.
Suddenly, he found that the entire castle had instantly quietened down.
Almost in an instant, all the lights were extinguished.
Not only the castle, but the entire Bi Jin City as well. A few maids silently came over and extinguished all the candles beside Shen Lang.
Bi Jin City was an extravagant city, and even at night, it was still brightly lit. Although there were no electric lights, the candles still lit up the entire city, making it a city that never sleeps.
But now, it was as if the entire city had suddenly lost its power, and it had sunk into complete darkness.
"Dang dang dang dang …"
The huge bell tolled once again. But this time, it wasn't hurried, but sacred and melodious.
Then, Shen Lang saw a ship approaching the pier, and a group of people soundlessly boarded the pier and entered Bi Jin City.
Who were these people? Why were they so imposing? Why were they so mysterious? To think that the entire city was actually about to extinguish all its lights to welcome their arrival.
This group of people slowly walked towards the castle at the top of the mountain.
Every one of them wore a red cloak, and they held a flame in their hands, so it was as if they were walking flames.
Were these people the high priests?
The castle gates opened, and this group of mysterious high priests entered the castle.
Then, everything returned to normal. Countless lights in Bi Jin City were once again lit, and it became a city that never sleeps.
All the candles in the castle were also lit, decorating the castle in the night, and it was very beautiful.
It was as if the group of high priests had never been here.
… …
The next day!
Duke Deborah's study room.
She had changed into a long red dress, and with her red hair, she was as dazzling as a flame.
She was clearly a C, but because the dress was trimmed very well, it became a D.
Especially the ruby necklace in front of her chest, which made her snow-white cleavage even more alluring, making people drool.
This woman was really gorgeous.
"The test is about to begin. Loyal Talon, are you ready?" Duke Deborah said.
The middle-aged eunuch Talon took out a sharp, special knife from his sleeve, which was specially used for castration.
"Don't worry, I will be very fast, and I won't let you suffer for too long."
Immediately, the balls of Shen Lang and the other two eastern beauties shrunk once again.
If they were eliminated, they would be castrated directly. It was too tragic.
"Perhaps you think that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Why do those who fail and are eliminated have to be castrated?" Duke Deborah said, "This just proves my single-mindedness and purity, and that's holy enough."
What kind of damned logic was this?
Duke Deborah said, "Next, I will carry out the first test. Please answer a question, what is a flame?
"Mr. Kun Yan, a century-old noble from the eastern world, you answer first."
The handsome man on the left, Kun Yan, stepped forward and meticulously performed the etiquette of the Xilun Dynasty's nobles.
"It's my honor, Your Excellency."
"What is a flame? You are my flame! Your beauty is enough to burn the whole world. "
This was the answer of the handsome man, Kun Yan. Duke Deborah's smile was soul-stirring.
Then, her eyes looked at the handsome man on the right of Shen Lang, Qin Gu.
"A flame is the sun, a star."
This answer was actually very high-end. At least, most of the stars in the sky were stars, and they were indeed blazing flames.
Duke Deborah looked at Shen Lang and said, "Mr. Chu Zhongtian, what do you think a flame is?"
Shen Lang said, "A flame is a kind of plasma state, different from solid, liquid, and gas. It is called the fourth state."
Uh!
The three people around him could not help but look at him. What kind of answer was that?
After hearing Shen Lang's answer, Duke Deborah appeared to be expressionless.
"The second question, once you become my lover, what can you bring me? What can you do? "Duke Deborah asked.
Kun Yan, a century-old noble from the eastern world, said, "I can compose poems for you, play the piano for you, paint for you, and sing for you."
Qin Gu said, "I can share your worries and listen to your complaints. At critical moments, I can give you rational suggestions."
Duke Deborah looked at Shen Lang.
Shen Lang said, "I … I … What can I do?"
Shen Lang thought for a moment. He originally wanted to say that he was very skilled in a certain aspect, but he could not deceive others and himself.
After a long time, Shen Lang said, "My boot-licking skills are not bad."
Uh!
Shame, it was simply a shame for the beautiful men of the east. He really deserved to be called a brothel.
The two beautiful men of the east could not help but cover their noses and once again distanced themselves from Shen Lang.
Scum, you are simply a disgrace to the eastern world, a disgrace to our ancestors.
Why don't scum like you stay in the brothels of the eastern world? Why come overseas and make a fool of yourself? This will cause great harm to the dignity of our people, do you know that?
Sure enough, after hearing Shen Lang's words, Duke Deborah's face twitched slightly, and she even slightly clenched her fists.
"The third question, do you think there are gods in this world?" Duke Deborah asked, "If there are, please draw what he/she/it looks like. If there aren't, say there aren't any."
Kun Yan said, "Of course there are gods in this world. For me, the god is you."
Then, Kun Yan began to draw Duke Deborah's portrait. The standard was indeed very high, enough to be taken to the Louvre.
Qin Gu said, "Gods exist if you believe them, and they don't exist if you don't believe them. They are in the human mind."
Shen Lang's mind instinctively came up with several answers.
The priest who came last night, and the way Duke Deborah dressed today, all signs showed that she believed in the god of fire.
The god of fire in the eastern world was Zhurong, and the god of fire in the western world was Hephaestus.
And Shen Lang had read ancient books. In the ancient civilization, the god of fire in the east was a dragon, and the god of fire in the west was a hellhound.
In short, there were all kinds of strange answers.
So, Shen Lang took the white paper and drew a point on it.
A faintly discernible point.
Duke Deborah asked, "Mr. Chu Zhongtian, do you think there are gods? What are you drawing on the paper? "
"Singularity." Shen Lang said, "It contains all things in the universe, including nothingness, and even more, including infinity. If there are gods, it is the god of all gods."
This answer made the other two beautiful Oriental men scoff at it. Your answer is too pretentious, but it's equivalent to saying nothing. In this kind of situation, your mysterious pretentiousness is useless.
Duke Deborah held a crystal ball in her hand, gently playing with it, as if she was thinking.
The whole place was deathly silent, because the one who was eliminated would be castrated and become a eunuch. This was simply the judgment of fate.
So even though Kun Yan and Qin Gu were full of confidence in their performance, they still felt extremely nervous.
About a few minutes later, Duke Deborah opened her beautiful eyes and said, "Mr. Chu Zhongtian, regardless of whether this is your name or not, congratulations on winning. From now on, you are my partner."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other two eastern men changed dramatically.
How is this possible? This Chu Zhongtian was born lowly, and his answer is completely a pile of shit. How can he win? The two of us are born noble, and we are barely worthy of the Duchess. But Chu Zhongtian said that he grew up in a brothel, and he is completely the lowest person in the world.
"Grand Duchess, this is not fair, this is not fair!"
Princess Deborah waved her lily-white hand lightly, and a few warriors walked in and suddenly pressed the two eastern men, Kun Yan and Qin Gu, to the ground.
The middle-aged eunuch, Talon, stepped forward and flashed his exquisite knife.
"No, no, Duchess, please let us go."
"This is not fair, not fair … Ah …"
Talon waved his small hand lightly. This craftsmanship was simply superb. It was over before they could even see everything clearly. It was definitely professional.
After two mournful cries, there were two more eunuchs in this world. Shen Lang, who was watching from the side, also felt his scalp go numb. It must have been extremely painful. He also liked to castrate others, but seeing this scene still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Believe me, you will soon fall in love with this kind of life," the middle-aged eunuch Talon said.
Then, the two newly castrated eunuchs were directly dragged out.
… …
In the study, only Shen Lang and Duke Deborah were left.
"Your name is not Chu Zhongtian. Although I don't understand your language, my eunuch does. He thought for a whole three hours and finally understood the meaning of your name." Duke Deborah said, "You are very smart, but you lack respect. No matter what, you want to fool others at all times. You are really too arrogant."
After saying that, Duke Deborah took out a piece of paper with three words written on it. It should have been written by the eunuch Talon.
It could be read as Chu Zhongtian, or as Lin Dan Da.
Damn, are you guys so leisurely? I just randomly came up with a fake name, and you guys have to study it for hours? And you can actually find something wrong with this name?
Duke Deborah said, "I feel offended, so you should be punished. Since you think the eggs are big, why not castrate one?"
Shen Lang said, "No, that would offend another god."
"Which one?" Deborah asked.
"Santa Claus," Shen Lang said.
Unfortunately, there was no such joke in this world. Shen Lang's cold joke was in vain.
Duke Deborah walked in front of Shen Lang, and then two servants came in looking at a mirror.
Such a big bronze mirror? It was a pity that the Heavenly Association's business had not yet reached the Western world, otherwise they would have really made a fortune.
Duke Deborah looked at Shen Lang and herself in the mirror. From height to figure, even temperament, they were very well matched. They could be called a perfect couple.
"Please make some preparations. In two days, we will have our wedding," Duke Deborah said.
Then, she left.
Wedding?
Shen Lang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. Wasn't this looking for a lover?
Why was she still getting married? This posture seemed even more strange.
This incomparably beautiful Duke Deborah was thirty-one years old this year, and had been a widow for ten years.
In the past ten years, she had definitely kept her chastity. Even if she wanted to get married, she had a lot of Xilun Dynasty nobles to choose from. There was no reason to choose a man from the Eastern world of unknown origin.
What was she trying to do?
Shen Lang said, "My dear, since we are going to be husband and wife, can I come to this study to read?"
Duke Deborah said, "You can? But there is a better way, for example, I can move the study to your place. "
… …
Shen Lang once again returned to his residence, and once again enjoyed the life of a marquis.
Duke Deborah sent a lot of books, but most of them were about the history, art, philosophy, and so on of the Xilun Dynasty.
Shen Lang wanted to see information about the Witch Empire, but there was none.
He didn't know if it was to seal Shen Lang's information about the Witch Empire, or if it was to seal all written records of the Witch Empire.
In the next two days.
Shen Lang lived an even more luxurious life, some of which even exceeded his imagination.
Was the Russo Family actually so rich?
Even a prodigal like Shen Lang felt his heart ache at this kind of extravagance.
It was no wonder that this Duchess could buy so many black slaves. These days, the ships on the sea did not stop.
Countless armors, weapons, and slaves were transported from all over the sea into Bi Jin City.
Shen Lang really suspected that this Russo Family had really discovered an ancient gold vein, or a huge gold mine. Could it be that this family's shit was all gold?
Shen Lang didn't know how many troops she was going to gather.
Regarding the Witch Empire, he still knew very little. He didn't even know where the Witch Empire was, and whether it was Qiu Yao Er's empire.
He was still like a canary, living in a magnificent castle. He could enjoy all the glory and wealth, but he couldn't even step out of his room.
… …
Two days passed quickly.
Next, Duchess Deborah's castle was decorated completely. Everywhere was draped in red silk.
Even the sculptures and chairs by the roadside were draped in red silk.
The lights in the entire castle never went out. They were lit day and night.
In short, the castle tried hard to create a festive atmosphere. Even all the slaves wore special clothes.
This was because Duchess Deborah's wedding was coming. She was going to marry a mysterious handsome man from the Eastern world.
Holding a wedding was already shocking enough. Shen Lang thought that it would be a small-scale ceremony, at most like a concubine ceremony.
He didn't expect that this Duchess Deborah would use formal etiquette to hold this wedding.
This was even stranger.
… …
As night fell, the entire castle was brightly lit.
The wine was like a pool, the delicacies were like a forest, and the maids were like clouds.
One after another, luxurious carriages entered the castle.
Hundreds of VIPs came to attend Duchess Deborah's wedding, all of them rich or noble. For example, the pirate leader who sent Shen Lang over, let alone attend the wedding, was not even qualified to enter the castle gates.
Shen Lang noticed that most of these nobles who attended the wedding were still wearing the clothes of the Xilun Dynasty.
Although the Xilun Dynasty was torn apart, everyone still recognized its orthodox position in the Western world.
There were many Viscounts, Count, and Marquises present.
There weren't many Dukes, only a handful.
… …
At about nine o 'clock in the evening, the wedding began!
Shen Lang wore a fiery red brocade robe. Duchess Deborah wore a fiery red dress.
Didn't the wedding ceremonies in the Western world take place during the day?
Why at night?
In the huge hall, there were raging flames everywhere.
The paintings on the walls and windows were all flames.
There were flames spewed by giant dragons, hellhounds, and volcanoes erupting from huge mountains.
Then, the priests who had previously disappeared from the castle appeared again.
A mysterious middle-aged priestess presided over the wedding.
Shen Lang couldn't understand what she was saying at all. It wasn't Latin or Greek.
She seemed to be asking questions, and Duchess Deborah answered every question with great sincerity.
Finally, the female technician took out a gold bracelet and put it directly on both Shen Lang and Deborah's wrists.
"Whoosh!" A ball of flame burned from the bracelet, but it didn't hurt anyone.
This meant that under the witness of the God of Fire, Shen Lang (Chu Zhongtian) and Deborah officially became husband and wife.
This was really f * cked up.
As soon as Shen Lang came to the Western world, he inexplicably remarried.
Moreover, it was such a formal and grand wedding, much grander than the last time he married Baby Mulan.
The hundreds of VIPs present were all nobles, which meant that Shen Lang's husband was absolutely legitimate.
They weren't lovers at all.
Not only that, Shen Lang also saw clearly that the Russo Family's clerk had already begun to write a new "History of the Russo Family", which officially included this wedding and Shen Lang.
In other words, this piece of history would be passed down, and the name of Shen Lang becoming Deborah's Duchess would also be passed down for generations.
There was even a professional painter who painted the moment of the two of them getting married.
What the hell was going on?
Next, Shen Lang had another question. Previously, after he and Baby Mulan got married, they didn't have the nuptial chamber.
Today's wedding was so inexplicable, yet so formal.
Was the nuptial chamber for real?
