In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility. - Chapter 777

Lothar was about to refuse, but a hand gently grabbed her arm.

“Mr. Captain, this is my battle.”

A candlestick lit up in Viviana’s hand, and her other delicate white palm reached into the flame, and with a clang she pulled out a meter-long double-edged knight’s sword: “Let me solve it myself. ”

She was familiar with Ruprecht’s eyes, like fellow challengers in the Order of the Rose who had been forced to accept the “loser” script.

They felt that their skills were just a combination of lucky talent, a privileged background, and the emperor’s favor, just like a valuable vase that was of no use.

It seems that as long as these conditions are met, anyone can piece together a sword master.

Lothar was a little hesitant. Viviana’s current strength was far from what it was at her peak. What’s more, Ruprecht had twenty more years of experience. Even in her heyday, she might not be her opponent.

Lavinia whispered: “Losa, I can make up for the missing part of Anna’s strength.”

Although Viviana’s strength has been greatly weakened, her eyesight and sword skills are still there. The candles at the first stage of mastery are extinguished, and the candles at the second mastery stage are extinguished. If it is not unlocked, it does not mean that it cannot be used, but the power it possesses is not enough to use it. .

Just like Fulin, before she became an elite, she used half-step to become a tyrant several times.

Thinking of this, Lothar no longer stopped him.

This is just a competition, and it does not matter life or death. For Viviana, there will be gains no matter whether she wins or loses. The dignified candle knight is not a coward who cannot bear the price of failure.

Viviana came to Ruprecht: “You want the honor of the first swordsman of the German royal family, right?”

The crown prince nodded silently. What he wanted was not only honor. After all, this was not a competition arena that attracted much attention. What he wanted was very simple, that is, to climb the mountain in his heart. In the future, people would talk about “if the Candle Knight is still here.” He could laugh it off.

The attendant begged with tears in his eyes: “Your Highnesses, please ensure that this is just a discussion and not a bloody duel. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the king, the elector and the emperor.”

Ruprecht pushed him away silently, and the invisible force wrapped around him, pushing him hundreds of meters away – two people of similar strength, if they attack with all their strength, neither one can do anything without hurting the other’s life. guarantee.

“Your injury?”

“It’s out of the way.”

Viviana shook her head and said, “If you’re ready, let’s start!”

Viviana, who has always been gentle, quiet, and has a poet-like temperament, feels like a sharp blade unsheathed at this moment, with its sharp edge exposed.

Lothar suddenly realized one thing. Viviana may not need his protection. Under her soft appearance, she still has a heart that belongs to a warrior, a heart that adheres to the spirit of chivalry and dares to stand in Constantinople. On the city wall, facing the heart of three dragons.

The golden glow of the law rendered a golden color in the dusk, and the moment it was injected into Viviana’s body, the dim and swaying candle became even darker.

A breeze blew by, and the candlelight jumped a few times before being completely extinguished.

The candle goes out, the light goes out.

This is the second stage sword skill of the Candle Knight. All the light and shadow between heaven and earth disappeared, and darkness swallowed Ruprecht.

Standing in the darkness, the crown prince did not feel fear, but became more and more excited: “Light and shadow swordsmanship?”

Like Viviana, he is also a magic swordsman.

The Wittelsbach family of Bavaria has ruled Bavaria, one of the four major states of the Holy Roman Empire, for more than 700 years since Lothar lived in the Middle Ages and Henry the Lion of the Welf family.

At that time, the Habsburg family was still nestled in the Swiss ravine, and the Hohenzollern family was just the Earl of Sauron. This ancient inheritance gave them a profound foundation. A long time ago, the Wittelsbach family had He built his own mage tower in southern Germany.

He murmured in a low voice: “The inheritance of the Hohenzollern family should be distinguished from that of the Wittelsbach family.”

In the darkness, a cluster of candles suddenly lit up.

Ruprecht immediately stood up. Light and shadow are not antagonistic, but interdependent. On the contrary, darkness is the enemy of shadow.

In the direction projected by the candlelight, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly flashed past. They were wearing tall “Funnan deer antlers” hoods. The black shadows turned into flying battle robes, and the sharp blades in their hands moved almost at the same time. Stabs coming from all directions.

Keng——

Ruprecht drew his sword, and the huge magic energy in his body filled his limbs. The knight’s sword in his hand danced like water, and the attack of more than ten black shadows was easily defended by him with his own strength. Come down.

“It’s all true?”

A trace of doubt flashed across the Crown Prince’s face. He thought it was a multiple-choice question: “But it’s just an offensive of this level. There’s really no pressure. Viviana, I haven’t seen you for so many years. Is this all you have left with your swordsmanship?” A little fancy?”

As he finished speaking, the knight sword in his hand swept away. Countless fine sword marks formed a grid, and in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so black shadows that rushed towards him were crushed into flying black patches.

Immediately afterwards, the cluster of flames in the darkness suddenly extinguished, and when it lit up again, it appeared behind Ruprecht.

The candle knight wearing a black and white shirt walked out of the flickering flames and stabbed the crown prince.

Keng——

The crown prince seemed to have eyes behind his back and blocked the sword accurately.

Then, countless brilliant sword beams bloomed around him.

However, the Crown Prince’s defense was impeccable, and Viviana’s attack could not break through his defense at all.

The sword light became denser and denser, like a violent storm, hitting the Crown Prince who was like a reef on the shore.

He didn’t seem to worry about losing if he defended for a long time, but just defended blindly, and even had time to mock: “Slow, still too slow, faster, I don’t want the Candle Knight I have been chasing for so many years to be just this level?”

Viviana’s expression did not fluctuate at all.

When entering the combat state, Viviana would immediately become focused, which was a knight’s respect for the battle-she had many hobbies, poetry, music, calligraphy and painting, but the most popular one was always the swordsmanship that accompanied her through her childhood.

Every famous swordsmanship master would get a hint from the emperor that “cannot win” when fighting against her.

But not every master will succumb to the emperor’s will. On the contrary, when they really step into the arena, they will realize that even if they try their best, they can’t win.

The emperor’s hint has become a cover-up for these masters. They often generously express their care for the younger generation, giving people the appearance that I deliberately hold back to fulfill your reputation.

And with Viviana’s moral level, it is obvious that she will not expose the reputation accumulated by these so-called sword masters who have worked hard for many generations.

“I heard that when you were dueling with a Cyclops, you swung 301 swords in one second. The fast swordsmanship is worthy of being called Swift Light and Shadow, but what’s the use of just fast speed without enough power?”

Can cut through the thick-skinned Cyclops, Viviana’s sword is naturally not a fancy sword skill with speed alone. Speed ​​and power have always been complementary.

Although she was blessed by the law, her strength was not restored to its peak after all. As a result, she had more than enough skills, but it was difficult for her to outlast the crown prince.

“Mr. Lothar said that you were injured. I was a little skeptical at first, but now it seems that he was not lying – the flower of the German knight who once shone has completely become a swan song.”

Viviana still did not respond. Her duels were always elegant, but it did not mean that she had not experienced darkness. When she first debuted, she had beaten many hooligans, landless knights, and gang thugs.

Those people’s mouths were much dirtier than Ruprecht’s.

“Boring, let’s stop here!”

Ruprecht, who had been passively enduring, finally took the initiative for the first time. He seemed to have seen through the true identity of the Candle Knight hidden in the thousands of lights and shadows. He stopped defending and stabbed the sword in his hand.

At this moment, the field composed of light and shadows spread out like a supernova explosion.

Lothar, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, didn’t know who would win.

He is a master of swordsmanship, and he is on the path of a magic warrior similar to Viviana, but because of the “domain” between them, he can only see the battle situation in a fog.

It seems that every strong man who has reached the standard of strength has this kind of means similar to the divine domain.

Although his strength has reached the standard now, after the true dragon transformation, Ladong in his prime may not be his opponent, but he feels that his ability is still too simple.

“The energy reaction is increasing rapidly!”

Lavinia reminded, she could sense that just now, the power she sent to Viviana was consuming at a geometric rate.
