Is this Mr. Minor Actor crazy or am I hallucinating? What kind of nonsensical reason is this?
But when I saw that no one in the surroundings had any doubts on their faces, and there were even a few women who didn't know the truth revealed infatuated expressions from Tosca, I could only sigh speechlessly. The customs of this world aren't something that ordinary people like me can understand. They can even propose such a ridiculous duel. Perhaps, the spectators don't care if the duel has any meaning or who is right or wrong. All they want is to watch the liveliness. In this turbulent and chaotic era, there aren't many normal and suitable entertainment items for people. Tosca's wishful thinking is going off in his mind.
He firmly believed that the country bumpkin before him wouldn't dare to accept his challenge, and at that time, he would humiliate him. In this world where strength is everything, a coward will never obtain the respect of others. His wife and fiancée will surely abandon that pitiful fellow and throw themselves into the embrace of the more charming Tosca. It would be even better if the other party accepted his challenge. After all, it's impossible for a commoner to obtain the combat techniques of the system, and he's a high-rank warrior. He can trample and humiliate the other party to his heart's content. As long as he pretends to be an expert and lets the half-dead country bumpkin go, the beauties before him will naturally know who is more reliable.
Naturally, I can't understand the calculations in Tosca's head that are based on the values of this world. However, I have already guessed his thoughts after reading all sorts of novels. Although it's hard for me to agree with him, Tosca's actions are somewhat reasonable considering the current situation of this world.
It's a pity that not to mention that Shallow Shallow and the rest won't have a good impression of Tosca for such a lame reason, even I won't be as easy to deal with as Tosca has expected.
Looking at Tosca's arrogant expression, I couldn't help feeling displeased and the thought of torturing this fellow rose in my mind.
"Duel? Sure! "
I answered briskly, as if I had been proposed an afternoon in a bar, instead of a duel of life and death.
Tosca clearly didn't expect that I would accept the challenge so easily. However, he was only stunned for a brief moment before he treated my reaction as me pretending to be a hero. Thus, he revealed a relaxed smile as a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, "Your bravery is praiseworthy. Although I'm a well-educated Knight and you're just a gambler who cheats others, I'm willing to give you the right to choose the location and time of the duel due to your bravery."
If this guy was thrown to Earth, he would definitely go to the Oscars every year! Listening to his forceful words and looking at his righteous expression, I couldn't help but say that he was too good at acting!
It was a pity that I had a pirate named Sickallo who always wore the righteous face of a Knight. He had already made me develop a good habit of never judging a person by their appearance. Compared to Sickallo's righteous face, Tosca's righteous face was like a little monster and Ultraman …
"Then, let's do it tomorrow evening." I pretended to think for a moment as though I didn't understand how dangerous the upcoming duel would be. "The location will be on a small plain 20 miles away from the city."
Tosca was stunned when he heard my reply. He already knew that there would be an exchange of strength between the Shiring Apostles and the Royal Knights at the small plain outside the city tomorrow afternoon. However, even with his position, it was hard for him to get more information. The visit of the Shiring Apostles had already been classified as top secret, and Tosca had only heard about it from his father by chance.
It should be a group of foreigners with some strength. Although it was hard for me to understand why the Pope and His Majesty the Emperor would pay so much attention to a group of foreigners, it didn't matter to me. Furthermore, the duel was set in the evening, so there was nothing for me to worry about.
Tosca thought to himself. He did not take the sudden appearance of the Xi Ling apostle to heart. However, the fact that the other party had set the location of the duel on the plains outside the city made him involuntarily associate it with the foreigners.
"Alright, then the duel will be held on the plain outside the city. I will wait for you there tomorrow evening. I hope that you won't break your promise."
Tosca smiled like a gentleman. It was as though he could already see the scene of a few beauties throwing themselves into his arms as the victor.
"However," I pondered for a moment and decided to give the other party a chance. Thus, I said, "Actually, from my perspective, I don't have much interest in the duel, especially this kind of duel that is meaningless and unreasonable …"
"Are you afraid?" A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Tosca's mouth. He seemed to have expected that the other party wouldn't dare to accept his challenge. As for the so-called meaning of the duel, he didn't have any concept of it at all. For a noble to use such a formal method to issue a duel was a glorious thing. Only a coward would use all sorts of reasons to doubt the sanctity of a duel. "You can directly admit defeat, and I will give you the fairest judgment. Beautiful ladies, I hope that my actions won't leave a bad impression on you. After all, as the protector of this city, I have to do this."
"Do whatever you want. As long as you can bear the consequences."
Qian Qian spoke in a seemingly indifferent manner, but no one noticed that the wooden floor beneath her feet was rapidly rotting and recovering.
"…" The elder sister didn't say anything. She only sized up Tosca with a malicious gaze, as though she was calculating what curse she could use to make this fellow suffer so much pain and live until the duel.
"Although my brother is an idiot," Lin Xue continued to use a subtle method to attack me, "it's still easy to deal with you."
This damned lass! How long do you intend to play for?!
In the end, Sandora said in an even more condescending manner than Tosca, "So, you can disappear now."
"You guys …" Tosca choked from the four beauties' words. But after considering his image, he suppressed his rage and replied in a stiff tone, "Good. Then, I look forward to seeing you in the Duel Arena tomorrow …"
"Chen Jun, that's my name." I replied with a harmless smile.
"Chen Jun, I'll remember this name!"
Tosca threw down that sentence and looked at the girls with a greedy gaze.
Unfortunately, before he had the chance to admire the beauty's delightful face again, something unexpected happened.
Under everyone's gazes, Tosca's clothes suddenly tore apart and turned into tattered clothes …
Using my strengthened eyes that could be used as binoculars, I could clearly see that there were obvious traces of corrosion and weathering on the edges of the rags.
"What a shameless creature." Shallow Shallow said sarcastically, "You actually dared to …"
Tosca, who was only wearing a pair of shorts (As a girl, Shallow Shallow is a little shy. If it was me, I wouldn't even leave him a pair of shorts), finally reacted and covered his body with his hands in panic. The guards around him also reacted. Although they had no idea what was going on, they quickly formed a human wall to protect their master. However, the girls' prank wasn't over yet. A few seconds later, a stench came from the human wall that was formed by the guards, accompanied by Tosca's loud and clear singing …
"Seriously …" The blackened elder sister held onto her forehead and put on a helpless expression, "Even if you're in a hurry to go to the toilet, you don't have to do it in such a thrilling way, right?"
Sandora also mocked, "Even if it's exciting, there's no need to sing loudly, right?"
Someone once said: The scariest creature in the world isn't Godzilla, but women, especially beautiful women.
The ancients didn't lie to me. The three girls around me had already reached the level of a final boss. As for Lin Xue, who didn't make a move, don't think that she has a good personality. It's just that she doesn't have a suitable ability!
Since I didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, I left with the girls during the chaos, leaving the most tragic walk-on in history to run around naked and sing loudly in front of everyone …
