Chapter 626

Jeffrey had no words to express his bitterness.

He was not someone who was willing to charge into battle.

…

In the secret box of the guild hall.

The eldest prince Charles was drinking strong liquor from the dwarf tribe, feeling unhappy.

The execution ceremony of the Demon King that the Holy Church was about to hold was not within his control.

The Holy Church even excluded him when discussing this matter.

This made him suddenly have a clearer understanding of the depth of the alliance between himself and the Holy Church.

After all, the two sides were only cooperating for mutual benefit, not of one mind.

It was impossible to be of one mind.

And he could not rely entirely on the Holy Church, so he had to find someone more trustworthy.

But to be able to compete with the Valkyrie...

At least the level of the court mage Nils Boll and the Grand Duke Terensu Glinton.

In addition, the military forces must also be strived for.

But last month, he just received the bad news that "the Giant Bear Family favored the Valkyrie", and the olive branch extended to the Doron Family was not immediately accepted.

The current situation is a setback for him.

It is difficult for him to intervene in the plot of the Holy Church.

Although the Archbishop promised that he would share the credit with him if he succeeded.

But what if he failed?

Now the Grand Princess's faction is deploying defenses in various parts of the capital under the name of this matter, but he has nothing to do like an outsider. He can only drink here. That feeling is really indescribable.

"Why can Eliza gain the trust of the Valkyrie, but I can't? Is it just because she is a woman?"

The eldest prince became more and more irritated, and suddenly took a big gulp of strong liquor, then choked and coughed continuously, his face bloodshot.

In today's capital, the Valkyrie is at the top in terms of power, reputation and personal force.

Only the Holy Church with a deep foundation can compete with it.

If other forces want to occupy a place, they must unite in many ways.

For example, the alliance between the court mage Nils Boll and the Grand Duke Terensu Glinton.

But none of this matters.

If Charles wanted to find one, he could still find a bunch of supporters.

But those old guys all had their own agenda, and looking for them would undoubtedly be a loss.

In other words, there is no such pure person as the Valkyrie!

"No, I have to think of a way."

The eldest prince was drunk and couldn't help but think of the blond boy again.

As the Valkyrie's most beloved only son, Dark Dimon is indeed a very good entry point.

If he can be won over, the resistance brought by the Valkyrie will inevitably be weakened.

Therefore, the archbishop had thought of recruiting him as the son of the saint and adopting a conciliatory strategy.

But the appearance of Impmon made this idea aborted halfway.

Then Dark showed the possibility of being named "Brave Candidate" at the Easter Duel Festival.

But the identity of "Brave" is two-sided.

It represents infinite glory.

It also carries the curse of fate.

Charles has always been considering whether to invest in the son of the brave, Witt Gold.

After all, the "brave" thing is both useful and not easy to be backfired - after all, "brave short-lived" is no secret in the core circle.

But before that, he had always focused on the "glory of the brave" and ignored the "fate of the brave".

There is nothing that cannot be used in everything.

Charles suddenly had an idea.

What if Dark Dimon is promoted as a brave?

Will the Valkyrie be overwhelmed and not care about the ZZ situation?

Once this idea came up, he couldn't stop it.

"Confirm it again!"

Charles looked at Dark Dimon on the circular corridor and Tailmon among the group of magic elves, and his heart was in turmoil.

...

After that, the female swordsman who played the "brave" challenged Dark Dimon at his instruction.

Charles originally thought that Dark would send the "magic elf with a sword" to replace him.

But he didn't expect that the one who ended up was not Tailmon or Leomon, but Dark's maid.

But this accident is nothing.

Charles immediately sent a message to Angus Jeffrey.

Jeffrey's family was completely tied to his ship, so they were considered his own people.

He wouldn't be unhappy to ask his own people to do a small favor, right?

Charles fed himself a special sobering pill.

This was the same type of sobering potion that Sister Carian prepared for him on Christmas.

After taking a pill, no matter how drunk you were, you could sober up instantly.

Although the price was double drunkenness afterwards.

But you have to lie down anyway, isn't lying down twice still lying down?

So this sobering pill is very popular in the aristocratic circle.

"Angus is in the fourth grade after all, he should win, right?" Charles recalled Angus's resume and said to himself.

...

In this "haunted" guild hall.

It is not uncommon for aristocrats to fight in person.

Although the war is over, the elderly still have a persistence in fighting in their bones, and the martial spirit has not disappeared with the arrival of peace.

Therefore, if a noble duels, it is not only not considered impolite, but also considered brave.

Of course, the treatment of the loser and the winner is completely different.

Especially for a duel between a fourth grader and a first grader like Jeffrey and Duck, even if it is for entertainment, once they lose, their reputation will be ruined.

Duck simply thought it was unnecessary, so he reminded them.

But since Jeffrey is so confident, he is not someone who will let the opponent win in the duel.

He did not reject Jeffrey's invitation, but chose to accept it.

"It's a good time to warm up. I have been in the mansion for a long time."

Dake made a "touch the big nipples" gesture to Trina.

Trina nodded slightly, and had no objection to Dak's decision.

In this duel with a huge difference in age, even if the first-year master really lost, there would be no negative impact.

Moreover, she did not think that the young master would lose.

Anyone who has spent some time with the young master's magic elves probably would not think so, right?

Only Aurora, who did not know much about the strength of the fourth-year students of St. Marian, asked Diana with some concern.

Diana thought for a moment and said, "Although that senior is a fourth-year student, he doesn't seem to have appeared in duel competitions. I'm not sure. But he shouldn't be very good, right?"

Aurora frowned and said, "But if he's not good, why did he invite Dak to a duel?"

"Emm..." Diana thought about it again and guessed, "Maybe he's itchy? I'm often itchy."

Dak looked at the intimacy of them discussing together and shook his head.

Jeffrey looked like a person who would not get up early for nothing. This duel invitation obviously had another purpose.

But it was precisely because the other party came with a purpose that this side had the motivation to win.

"A long-lost duel."

Dak clapped his hands.

The magic elves that had been ready for a long time turned into light one after another. Drilled into his portable card bag.

Some people who didn't know much about magic technology only realized at this time that this group of "magical animals" were actually magic elves!

In a blink of an eye, only the vampire daughter and the phoenix girl were left by Dak's side.

After all, the vampire daughter is going to school, so it is not appropriate to leave too many impressions related to "magic elves".

Dark doesn't mind exposing her identity, but the premature spread of this identity may cause her to be coldly received at the beginning of her enrollment.

It would be better if she could reveal her identity after integrating into the group.

As a parent, Dak certainly hopes that she can have a normal college life.

But it is too early to consider these things now.

After Dak left the vampire daughter here, he followed the guidance of the waitress and walked to...well, to a raised part of this circular corridor!

If you look closely, you will find that there are two raised platforms in this circular corridor, which can be used as a contestant platform.

I don't know if this design is intentional.

In short, Dak and Jeffrey soon came to the two raised parts, and then the waitresses on both sides pressed a button respectively, and a card table actually rose from the floor.

"I need a little time."

Dark activated the card table and said to senior Jeffrey opposite using the loudspeaker.

Jeffrey naturally would not refuse.

So Dak took out the deck and replenished his mana one by one.

Because there was no partition behind the platform, Diana and others also came over.

On the other side, many people gathered around Jeffrey.

Everyone was very excited, and there was no tense atmosphere, as if it was just an entertaining exchange.

However, as the two of them started to fight, more and more people noticed the movement here and came to watch, and the so-called "entertainment" was bound to be impossible to be truly "entertainment".

Angus Jeffrey was a frequent visitor to "Soul and Dream", and most of the noble men and women who lingered here knew him.

Even if Jeffrey did not have his father's identity as a background, he himself was a very outstanding talent.

Not only was he a fourth-year student admitted to St. Marian College, but he was also the president of a large club mainly composed of noble children - all of these made him have a high score in the hearts of others.

Therefore, seeing that Angus Jeffrey was dueling, many people couldn't help but look at the other side curiously.

Once they saw it, they couldn't take their eyes away.

Although it was the first time for Dark Dimon to come here, which of the nobles who came to "Soul-Lost" could not recognize his face, especially the older ones?

It can be said that Dark himself is a moving label. His face is as well-known as his character.

"Isn't that the son of Alvette? How come he is here?"

"I heard that he was also invited by St. Marian College. It has been almost a year, right?"

"Fourth grade vs. first grade? Is this a teaching match?"
