(Today's second chapter is here.
I want to announce something to everyone: Qidian's ten thousand year old eunuch "Chu Clan's Spring and Autumn" has officially left the palace! It has been steadily updating for half a month, and I personally contacted the author, Old Ning. He swore that he would finish it this time ….. Haha, if you like this book, you can go take a look. If he doesn't keep his word, you can just go and flick his window, it has nothing to do with me … …)
Chapter 245 "Bet!"
Northwest Army's chief magic consultant?
Du Wei wasn't surprised by this title. In the Roland Empire, the status of Magicians was very high. Even if there were Magicians willing to serve the army, it would still depend on the mood of the Magicians. To put it simply, you have to serve them. If the Magicians were happy, they would help you a few times. If they were not happy, they would let you be defeated like a landslide. It was common for the Magicians to stand on the sidelines and watch you make a fool of yourself. Therefore, any mage who was willing to work for the army did not have a fixed position. They would not be willing to be your subordinate at all. A title of "consultant" sounded both glamorous and dignified. At the same time, it had to vaguely indicate that they were not bound by any rules.
As for the Northwest Army having their own magicians …. Du Wei didn't find it strange.
Just think, the Northwest Army was able to stand against the central government for more than 20 years. Even the central government couldn't do anything to them. With only 200,000 soldiers, it's not enough. No matter what, they have to have a trump card. Paying a high price to keep a few magicians up is normal.
But the only thing that surprised Du Wei is …. Is General Rugaard crazy? He actually found a necromancer?
Undead and undead, although the names are only slightly different, the difference is like heaven and earth! Undead are legal and recognized by the Magician's Guild. But necromancers …. The Magician's Guild will definitely kill one if they see a hundred!
Looking at this black magician's posture …. 8th level? Undead magic can reach 8th level, there's no need to ask …. He is a necromancer! Undead!!
Who knew how many living beings he had slaughtered to reach this level of cultivation! This is definitely enough to cause the Magician's Guild to want to kill him! For such a character, even if he had the strength of an eighth level and was worth recruiting … one had to think of the consequences! Otherwise, recruiting an 8th-tier Necromancer would attract the hostility of the Magician's Guild! This was definitely not worth it!
Du Wei stole glances at the Dark Magician for a long time. He discovered that the Dark Magician was also observing him. The confrontation between the two magicians caused the surrounding people to consciously take a few steps back.
"Duke of Tulip Family." The Dark Magician Tartaglia chuckled in a low voice. His laughter was strange, and his voice was hoarse as if he was going to die at any moment. "I've long heard of your great name … But you interrupted my spellcasting just now. Could it be that you wish to challenge me according to the rules of the Magicians?"
Du Wei faintly smiled and glanced at Cybuster. The young general didn't say a word, he didn't seem to want to be a peacemaker. Instead, he seemed to be taking pleasure in other people's misfortune. Du Wei's heart sank, but he maintained a cold smile on his face as he looked at the Dark Magician: "If your excellency is willing to enlighten me, then how could I, Du Wei, refuse your kindness?"
After saying that, Du Wei gently stepped on the stirrups. His body floated up from the saddle until he was parallel to the Dark Magician. His hands retracted into his sleeves as he stared at the Dark Magician.
A Dark Magician, nothing more than summoning undead creatures? Humph … …
Du Wei can still remember the last time he encountered a Black Magician, the opponent summoned a bone dragon along with a large number of undead dark knights and skeleton soldiers, but all of them were taken out by him!
But now … …
Looking around, he saw that there was a large forest in front of him, to his left and right.
Old man, if you want to make a move, then come! If you want to summon undead creatures, then this daddy will summon treants! Let's see who has more cannon fodder!
When his magic was still weak, he wasn't afraid of a Dark Magician. Now that Du Wei's strength has reached the sixth level, what's there to be afraid of?
But at this time, the Northwestern Army invited a Dark Magician. And from his words, it's clear that he's deliberately provoking him. Such a move is worth pondering!
Could it be … … Du Wei's heart moved.
Could it be that Rugaard wants to kill him?
Thinking up to here, today's situation suddenly became clear!
It should be like this!
Rugaard doesn't want to rebel right now. At least for him, it's not time yet. So even if he delivered himself to the door, Rugaard wouldn't let his people kill him.
But … … a Dark Magician is different! At least nominally, this Dark Magician is Rugaard's helper. But nominally, he's not a member of the Northwestern Army! He's just a magic consultant, a free man. If he wants to kill me, even if he did, all he has to do is push the blame to the higher-ups and say "it was a duel between the magicians". This way, the Northwestern Army won't be punished!
And … … Even if Rugaard doesn't want to kill him, sending this Dark Magician is probably a way to test his worth!
Du Wei isn't wearing his Dark Magician robe today, but his hands are hidden in his sleeves. Secretly, he's holding onto his storage ring so he can summon his wand and Life Horn at any time. His eyes are locked onto the Dark Magician. Inside the Dark Magician's crystal ball, there's a faint cloud of dark energy swirling around it. It's like a black vortex that's getting more and more turbulent … …
At this time, Cybuster finally opened his mouth. The young general leisurely kicked the horse's belly and walked a few steps forward. He purposely stood between the two of them and said with a smile, "The two of you! The Duke is our honored guest, Master Tartaglia is also our honored guest. If the two of you fight here, it'll make things difficult for us as hosts … … How about we give you some face? "
When Du Wei heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
This Dark Magician sure is treacherous. His words may sound nice, but in reality, he's trying to pull himself out of the situation. This way, the duel will turn into a "guest fighting guest" and has nothing to do with the "hosts".
The more this Cybuster acts like a bystander, the more annoyed Du Wei becomes. Suddenly, he recalled that this Young General's martial arts seemed to be of the same lineage as Rodriguez's. His heart suddenly moved, and an absurd and strange idea popped up in his mind!
Humph! Pretending? Let's see if you can still pretend!
Du Wei didn't hesitate to act. Chuckling, he reached out his right hand from his sleeve. With a flash of magical light, a crystal clear sword covered in a layer of frost appeared in his hand.
When the Dark Magician saw Du Wei taking out a weapon, he thought Du Wei was going to summon a wand. Instead, he took out a sword. His expression turned gloomy for a moment before he sneered: "Sir Du Wei, why would you take out a sword in a duel between magi? Don't tell me you don't care about the honor of a magus? "
Du Wei rolled his eyes: "This Duke is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts. Is that not allowed?"
At the same time, Du Wei secretly glanced at Cybuster.
Sure enough!
When Cybuster saw Du Wei taking out a sword, his eyes revealed a trace of disapproval. But when he got a clear look at the sword, his eyes suddenly became incomparably shocked!
The corner of his mouth that was originally smiling suddenly closed. It's as if he's gritting his teeth to prevent himself from crying out in alarm!
The sword in Du Wei's hand is long and thin with a transparent icicle covering it. Under the dim sunlight of the forest, it faintly emits a rainbow colored glow. But at the same time, it also emits a dense chill …
Beauty under the Moonlight!
Rodriguez's Beauty under the Moonlight!
When Cybuster saw the sword, his eyes widened. After a brief moment of shock, he suddenly took a deep breath as if trying to suppress the shock and excitement in his heart. But Du Wei could see that the fingers holding the reins were faintly trembling.
"The two of you." Cybuster once again urged his horse forward a few steps and suddenly laughed loudly: "The two of you are our honored guests, please restrain yourselves. No matter who gets hurt, it will be a great loss to the Roland Continent! At this moment, my father and the other generals are also in the forest. If the two of you want to fight for supremacy, why don't we change the method so as not to harm each other? "
Clearly, he cast a glance at the black magician and shook his head imperceptibly.
After saying that, as if afraid that Du Wei would make a move, Cybuster suddenly shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Quickly blow the horn!"
The horseman behind him immediately took a horn from his horse and blew it. Not long after, shouts came from all directions in the forest. The sound of horse hooves could be heard as hundreds of horsemen came from all directions to encircle them.
General Rugaard was escorted by several of his subordinates. Seeing Du Wei and the dark magician opposite him, the short man's face darkened. Then he laughed out loud: "So it turns out that Du Wei and Master Tartaglia are both here. I presume the two of you already know each other, so I won't have to introduce myself."
Then, he glanced at his son and received a complicated look from him. Knowing that the situation has changed, Rugaard's eyes also fell on the 'Beauty under the Moonlight' sword in Du Wei's hand.
The short general's eyes suddenly burst with light. Like a hungry ghost seeing food or a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, his eyes looked as if he can't wait to swallow both the sword and the 'Beauty under the Moonlight' in Du Wei's hand!
This expression only lasted for a moment, but it was captured by the keen Du-Wei.
Hmm … this Rugaard also recognizes this sword?
"Father." Cybuster cleared his throat: "The Duke seems to have a small misunderstanding with Master Tartaglia. The two of you seem to have the intention to have a duel between magicians."
Lu Gao opened his mouth, but he reacted quickly. He immediately smiled and said, "What's the point? Both of you are my honored guests. If either of you gets hurt, it will be my fault. For my sake …. "
Cybuster took a deep breath and interrupted Rugaard: "Father, it's rare to have two great magicians present. I'm sure everyone would like to see such a duel …. Since the two great magicians want to have a duel, how can we go against their wishes?"
Since Cybuster said so, Rugaard knew his son must have an idea. So he immediately smiled: "That's right, but a duel between magicians is inevitable …."
"Then I have an idea that won't hurt the peace." Cybuster quickly said: "Of the prey we released today, there are still four or five that haven't been caught yet. Why don't we use this as a bet …. The two magicians will split up and we'll set a time. Whoever catches the most prey first wins. How about it? "
This proposal can be considered a cheap one, so neither side has anything to say.
Du Wei's mind quickly turned: This Cybuster, after seeing 'Beauty under the Moonlight', he's worried that I'll really fight with this black magician? What is he thinking?
Is he worried that I'll kill this black magician? Or is he worried that the black magician will kill me?
That black magician Tartaglia was originally supposed to cooperate with Rugaard. Although Cybuster changed the plan at the last minute, it's not good to talk about the details in front of everyone. In the end, he just snorted and nodded.
Du Wei also smiled: "This is also good. Not only will we be able to experience Master Tartaglia's magic, we also won't hurt General Rugaard's face. Young general's idea is really good."
Pausing for a moment, Du Wei deliberately slowed down his tone: "But since it's a bet, there's always a winner and a loser. How do we calculate the stakes?"
Cybuster obviously had everything thought out, so he didn't hesitate to chime in: "Your Excellency the Duke is right. Since it's a bet, naturally there needs to be stakes. But since we're in the Northwestern Army's territory, if we were to ask our two guests to pay out of their own pockets, then it would make us look stingy! As for the stakes … … If Master Tartaglia wins, then father, why don't we give all the prisoners in the prison to him! I'm sure father won't be stingy with those prisoners. "
Rugaard immediately nodded.
"If Master Tartaglia loses … … Father, I would like to ask Master Tartaglia to teach me magic for a month. Consider it as fulfilling one of my requests."
Tartaglia was originally one of Rugaard's men, so he also nodded after hearing the request.
Du Wei sighed and faked a smile: "This is too embarrassing, but our bet will be paid by the Northwestern Army."
"This way, it will show how much my father values our two guests." Cybuster smoothly replied. Du Wei's heart couldn't help but shiver: This little bastard is not easy to deal with!
"Speaking of which, if your Dukeship wins … … Then as a reward for the winner, I heard your Dukeship suffered a lot of casualties when you were harassed by the prairie invaders. I will make the decision on behalf of my father. If your Dukeship wins, the Northwestern Army will send you 3000 top quality warhorses and 3000 sets of armor!"
Du Wei calculated in his heart, this condition can be considered tempting: "Then, what if I lose?"
Cybuster's smile made Du Wei even more uncomfortable: "Just now, I heard your Excellency claim to be a dual cultivator … … With your talent, I'm sure your attainments in martial arts must be extraordinary! Also … … I saw that the weapon you are using has a strange shape, and I am very interested in it. Therefore, my request is … … if you lose, please use that strange sword of yours and give me some pointers on my martial arts skills! As for the duration … … I know your Excellency is busy and can't let you stay in Watt Fortress for more than a month. If that's the case, then I can only deliver myself to your door! But if your Excellency loses, then I, Cybuster, will follow you back to Loulan City. For the next month, I hope your Excellency can enlighten me on martial arts! "
When this bet was made, not only did Du Wei freeze up, even General Rugaard also showed a surprised expression!
Follow Du Wei back alone?!
Then … … Doesn't that mean if something happens, Du Wei can hold this young general hostage?
Du Wei's heart was filled with doubts … … This young general's goal is obviously the 'Beauty under the Moonlight'!
Is this sword that important to him?!
At this moment, he had no choice but to agree. Du Wei laughed out loud: "Good! I'll bet! "
Pausing for a moment, Du-Wei suddenly noticed the look in Hussein's eyes. With a thought, he added another sentence: "But I have another request … … In order to increase the difficulty, when hunting the prey, don't kill them. Catch them alive!" Speaking up to here, Du-Wei deliberately laughed and said, "Otherwise, if the necromancer uses the 'Dark Devour' spell and covers most of the forest, all the prey will be killed in an instant … … I can only watch helplessly."
Obviously, Cybuster was very anxious. This time, he didn't wait for the necromancer to open his mouth and laughed: "Good, that's it!"
Sure enough! Du Wei sneered in his heart … … For this' Beauty under the Moonlight ', he was very anxious … …
