When a person was bitten by a mosquito, most people would want to kill it.
Was killing a mosquito a big deal?
No!
But in the eyes of a noble like Brando, killing a commoner named Duque was not a big deal at all!
When faced with Brando's blatant questioning of why he was not dead yet. At this moment, Duque once again truly felt that he had transmigrated.
The world before he transmigrated was a world governed by law. If there was a son of an official who acted so recklessly, once he was exposed, even God would not be able to save him.
But the human kingdom of Azeroth was obviously a world ruled by men.
The king and the nobles were at the top of the social hierarchy. Their orders and wills were absolute, and absolute power led to absolute corruption.
Northshire Abbey was already a territory relatively close to the capital, Stormwind City. Thinking about how a trash knight at the bottom of the aristocratic hierarchy could do whatever he wanted … Duque began to understand why the humans of Stormwind were defeated by the Orcs in the first Orc War, and even the capital was flattened.
Back then, Thoradin The Great of the Arathor Empire was determined to forge ahead and open up new territories for the humans. After a thousand years of metamorphosis, corruption and degeneration had long disappeared among the ordinary nobles.
If it wasn't for Anduin Lothar who had extraordinary military abilities, if it wasn't for the current guardian Medivh who had not fallen, if it wasn't for King Laing who was a wise king, then Stormwind at this moment would be a pile of stinky shit.
Duque was not familiar with the plot of this timeline. Because this timeline was too early, Duque had almost no impression of it. The only thing he remembered was that when [The Dark Portal] opened, Anduin Lothar fell into endless wrangling with the nobles.
Even the great hero of the Human Alliance, Lothar, could not deal with the nobles. What could a mere mage apprentice like Duque do?
From this point of view, Duque could swallow his anger. But don't forget that Duque was a transmigrator. He came from a modern society without nobles or absolute power.
Nobles above everything? Bullsh * t! Duque wouldn't fall for it.
Just like how the commoners here would tremble at the sight of nobles, it was impossible for this to happen to Duque. Duque suddenly sneered, "Huh? Looks like Sir Brando really wants me dead. He actually asked me 'why am I still alive' so early in the morning? "
"Where's Gascoe? What did you do to Gascoe!? " It was only then that Brando realized why his confidant didn't report to him after he woke up. Gascoe would never dare to disturb his sleep, but after he washed up, he would probably roll over to report.
Duque shrugged. "Sorry, I don't know who this Gascoe is."
Brando was infuriated. He waved his fists as he approached Duque. "Impossible, he should have … Damn it! You must have killed him. How dare you kill him?! Don't you know he's my servant?! Killing him is a provocation to the Brando family and the whole of Stormwind! "
Slap! A slap landed on the left side of Brando's face. When the slap landed on the face that was covered in white powder, the bystanders could clearly see that the slap had stirred up a huge cloud of dust.
The huge impact caused Brando's entire face to contort. For a moment, Brando thought his left eye had been smashed.
The world spun around him, and Brando was slapped to the wooden floor.
When he finally came back to his senses, the burning pain on his face and the humiliation that kept surging up from his chest told him that he had been hit by Duke! Moreover, he was beaten up in front of more than ten people.
Duke didn't even lift his eyelids as he casually pointed at a dead fly on the table next to him and said, "By the way, are you a scumbag? When I was swatting a fly, why did you have to stick your face in my palm?"
If it was the Duque from yesterday, he would never have done it. As a modern man, obeying the law was something that was engraved in his bones. But now that he had met his enemy, Duque's moral integrity … Oh, no! His humanity had automatically dropped by 30 points.
Well, there was basically nothing that Duque couldn't do.
Alright, it was Duque who had slapped someone, but he turned black into white. He insisted that slapping someone's face was like slapping a fly! He was a weirdo!
"Protect the Young Master!" At this moment, Brando's servants rushed forward, ready to deal with Duque at all costs.
[Calm and Composed] activated!
Just as Duque was about to give them a [Flame Blast] to teach them a lesson. He was shocked to find that Darnielle and Itana, who he had just met, stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.
"What are you doing! How dare you attack an apprentice from the Stormwind Arcane Academy in front of Sir Norton?! "
The servants were stunned. They all froze as if they had been hit by [Petrify]. If it was an ordinary kid, it was a slap. But Pharaoh of the Stormwind Arcane Academy was not to be trifled with. After all, Pharaoh's status in Stormwind, and even in the entire human world, was transcendent.
Not to mention, there was also a high-ranking court mage here!
Did they have a death wish?
But what surprised Duque the most was that Darnielle and Itana, who he had just met, were actually on his side.
What he didn't know was that his slap had changed his stance.
Before he came, there were countless commoners who had been bullied by nobles like Brando. Be it men or women, young or old, commoners, guards, or even knights, they had long disliked the actions of these lower nobles.
But they didn't have the guts to resist, and they and the families behind them couldn't bear the consequences of the nobles' retaliation.
Now that the rising star of Stormwind City Royal Magic Academy had publicly stood out, as commoners, they subconsciously chose to stand on Duque's side.
The three apprentices, who might have a high status in the future, stood together against Brando, and the atmosphere immediately became subtle.
At this time, Brando's voice sounded, "Kill him! Kill Duke Marcus! He insulted the Brando family! He insulted Stormwind! He insulted Thoradin The Great's bloodline! He should go to hell and be burned for ten thousand years! Kill — kill him, and the Brando family will bear the consequences! "
Brando's embarrassment turned into anger, and he didn't even want to hide his shame.
"Kill me? Then I'll kill you first! " Duke made his move. He made his move without any hesitation. He directly used a [Flame Burst] without any hesitation.
Even Darnielle and Itana, who were in front, were almost affected, and they almost subconsciously dodged.
Seeing the huge fireball the size of a water tank, Brando was so scared that he peed his pants, and the stinky liquid quickly dyed his white pants dark.
