Xu Jun looked up at the stage. The speaker was a middle-aged man in solemn clothes. He looked a little weak, leaning on a walking stick. His face was pale. He scolded Cole loudly, "What are you standing there for?!

You dare to fight, but you don't dare to fight to the end?! "

Cole was speechless. He didn't know what to say.

During this period of time, Mundama City had suffered from a plague like black plague. His father had fallen ill due to the stress. His mother was in charge of all the affairs and had to ask for help from his mother's family. However, his mother's family, who had always been good to them, had started to make conditions this time. It was only then that Cole realized that there was a clear distinction between noble families. Even if it was a biological daughter, she would belong to another family after marrying into another family.

Mundama City was one of the stronger free cities in the south. Its trade was prosperous and its taxes were high. Every year, it would send various materials and resources to many families in the Golden Banner in the name of giving gifts. Those families became the "friendly families" of Mundama City's mayor, the Newt family.

But when it really came down to it, they knew that not only were friendly families unreliable, but even allied families were deceiving people.

That Raquel, the Longue family he belonged to, had a good relationship with the Newt family 20 years ago. It was said that Cole's elder brother, Rend, used to be good friends with the current head of the Longue family, who was Raquel's cousin. But after his elder brother died, their friendship was broken.

This time, when Mundama City was in trouble, the Longue family didn't say anything about helping. Instead, they came to pressure them. They wanted to let the filthy Raquel marry Cole's sister, Irene.

Their next step was probably to control the Newt Family and even Mundama City through a marriage alliance.

The funny thing was that they said Mundama City was a remote city. Although it made a lot of money, the real nobles didn't care about it at all.

Although they could not be compared to the Longue Family, they were still a force to be reckoned with. However, some of these people had contracted the Black Plague. This Black Plague was very strange. Normal fighters could resist most diseases, but even elite knights could be affected by it. It was a chilling thought. Some of them had even gone to the south to patrol. During the late summer and early autumn, they had to be careful of the movements of the surrounding orcs. These barbarians liked to attack cities and pillage during the winter. A large portion of the Newt Family's guardian knights were actually the elite troops of Mundama City.

They didn't just have to protect a single family.

Raquel saw this point, so he took advantage of the fact that the guardian knights had yet to return to pressure them.

However, the method he used was quite crafty. It was a duel between Nobles, and in a duel between Nobles, Guardian Knights couldn't be substituted.

He sent a letter to Cole with a lot of obscene words, which made Cole accept the challenge in a fit of anger.

Between nobles, duels were directly related to reputation. Since Cole had accepted the challenge, he had to participate.

If Xu Jun hadn't come, he and his sister would have been very miserable.

However, Xu Jun had come, and the miserable ones had become the other party.

Even so, Cole and Irene couldn't kill the remaining elite mage Dudu. He looked very pitiful and kept looking at Xu Jun with pleading eyes. However, Xu Jun was unmoved.

Cole hesitated, and Irene put down her staff. Priests were supposed to save people. How could they kill people?

The girl's words were harsh, but that was all.

Xu Jun nodded at the middle-aged man on the stage. He thought to himself, Could this be Cole and Irene's elder?

He suddenly felt a little guilty. No one had heard him instigating these two children to kill the other party, right?

It was like instigating a new friend to play games in a bar … and then being caught red-handed by their parents. _ (: 3̄ ∠) _

Eh, should I say sorry to uncle next?

I'll kill the other party. Don't lead the other children astray. Xu Jun thought as he walked in front of Dudu. Dudu trembled all over. When he saw Xu Jun touch his sword, his legs went soft and he peed.

Xu Jun: "…"

Dudu shouted hoarsely, "Don't kill me!

I know a lot of things!

The black disease in Mundama City may be related to the black blood virus. It was Master Laqueur who asked us to poison the moat a month ago!!!

Sir!

Sir, don't you want to overthrow the Langer family?!

I can help!!!

I know their secret!!! "

As a fighter, it was normal to be afraid of death.

However, Xu Jun still waved his sword and stopped the other party's "surrender."

"Sorry, I really don't want to overthrow the Langer family," he said.

Even Xu Jun, who farmed monsters, materials, and missions every day, knew that although the Golden Banner Langer family was neither big nor small, they controlled the military power of Gale County in the south of the empire. Their strength was not to be underestimated. How could he overthrow such a big family?

And what was the benefit of knowing too many secrets?

In the end, Laqueur had done something stupid. It was normal for the Langer family's reputation to be damaged because of this, but could he rely on this to completely overthrow them?

Even Xu Jun, who had failed high school politics, knew that it was impossible.

Not to mention … if a Hero wanted to do well, he had to be neutral. The stronger he was, the more neutral he had to be. This way, he would not be regarded as a thorn in the side and would be assassinated at any time.

He had only killed a few people now. It could be said that he was too excited about the duel and did not control himself for a moment. Moreover, it was normal for people to die in the duel, so the Langer family could not pursue the matter.

It was best for this matter to pass.

At least on the surface, it was over.

The duel was drenched in blood. The surrounding nobles first cried out in shock, then some cheered softly, and some directly vomited.

Everyone was asking, "Who is this warrior?" "Who is this person who can fight with a thief and a magus at the same time and win?" "Is he a mercenary knight?

How much money can buy him? "

Of course, there were also people who frowned and covered their mouths. They whispered that this warrior was too barbaric and might be a wanted criminal from somewhere.

They watched helplessly as this brave and cruel warrior, or adventurer, walked down the stage and said softly to the referee, "Record, Hero Xu Jun and his friends have won the final victory of this duel."

The referee looked at Xu Jun's face closely and subconsciously clamped his legs together. He suddenly felt like peeing.

"Sir, spare me, I didn't do it on purpose …" He thought of how he had acted according to Young Master Laqueur's mood at the beginning of the duel. His face turned pale as he muttered for mercy.

Xu Jun patted him on the shoulder and simply wrote on the record board, "Relax, did you challenge me to a duel?"

There were four words on the record board: "Hero Xu Jun."

The words were written in Chinese. This game was Chinese, and all the worlds he had transmigrated to were also Chinese. _ (: 3,∠) _ This was probably the only consolation for the poor student Xu Jun.

There were also faint bloodstains below the four words. It turned out that Xu Jun had spat blood on his hand during the battle and accidentally smeared it on the paper.

After he finished, the frail middle-aged man walked down step by step with the help of a cane. Some nobles bowed to him and called him Castellan, while others directly left secretly. It seemed that he didn't have a good relationship with the Newt family.

This was Cole and Irene's father. He stopped Xu Jun. "Young man, wait. This is the Newt family's business. We can't let you take the blame … and the Lange family's anger."

Cole jogged over and called for his father in a low voice. Irene held her father's arm. "Dad, why are you here …"

This was the Castellan of Mundama, Lionel Newt. He was also Cole and Irene's father. He looked at his two children with a pained expression. "This is our own family's problem, but in the end, we have to let our friends take the blame for us. Think about it, didn't you do the right thing?"

Cole and Irene immediately looked guilty and looked at Xu Jun. Xu Jun waved his hand to show that it was nothing. "I'm just an adventurer. It's nothing. The Ska should be the ones under pressure."

The last sentence was directed at Irene.

Irene's face turned red instantly. She stole a glance at Ska and lowered her head. Ska just looked at the girl and smiled foolishly.

While the two of them were torturing the single people, Castellan Newt was also reprimanding Cole. "If your brother was still here!

He would never do such a cowardly thing! "

Cole's eyes seemed to be on fire as he stared at his father.

"You're really not as good as Reid." His father sighed again. "Cole, if your brother was still here …"

At the mention of Cole's brother, the atmosphere became very tense. Almost all the audience had left. Jess, who was originally sitting in the audience, went out to get some fresh air.

Rance skipped over. His footsteps were cheerful, but his expression was still a little dazed. "Dad!

You're really amazing! "

"— I want to be as strong as you in the future!"

Xu Jun thought to himself, Kid, are you serious? You could take on ten of those people without a problem. → _ →

He was now very used to Rance calling him dad. But for Cole and Cole's castellan father, watching a teenager call a twenty-something man his father … It was shocking no matter how they looked at it!

Castellan Newt wasn't even in the mood to reminisce about his deceased eldest son. "Mr. Xu Jun … you took good care of yourself, you took good care of yourself."

However, he himself, who also had a teenage son, was already a middle-aged man who was over 50 years old and had gray hair at the temples. QAQ

Cole and Irene probably rarely saw their father like this. Irene and Ska snickered secretly. The two of them liked each other. Although they hadn't officially established a relationship, there was already a sour smell of love. Xu Jun smelled it and wanted to raise his lighter and torch.

Damn, he was clearly the main force in this duel!

Why didn't the girls look at him more than once!

— No, to be exact, he was clearly a pretty good lad!

How could he be single until now!

Where were the girls who could appreciate his heroic fighting style!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the empty auditorium. As a result, he saw the problem.

A bone bird quietly stopped in the gap of the last row of the auditorium. Its black eye sockets were inlaid with black photographic crystals, and it looked deeply at Xu Jun.

Xu Jun … swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He didn't even need to ask who sent this bone bird — Damn it!

Your Majesty The Demon King, you can leave if you want, but how did you get the bad habit of peeping?!

This baby isn't broadcasting!!!

He didn't know what was going on with the bone bird. It didn't run away even after being discovered. As a dark creature, it was simply seeking its own death by appearing here. No matter who saw it, it would be beaten to death.

With this in mind, Xu Jun, Cole, Ska, and the others walked to the exit and stopped.

"Wait, I seem to have dropped something."

He made an excuse, then walked to the bone bird's side and gently held it with his hand.

He put it into a small leather bag at his waist.

The bone bird's eyes were listless. After all, it could only play the role of shooting and transmitting images. But when Xu Jun covered it, it tilted its head and looked at Xu Jun. This made Xu Jun think of a person.

"… Who knows what I'm thinking," the hero mumbled.

He didn't pinch the bone bird to death, nor did he turn it over to Illuminati … This must be crazy.

What was even crazier was that when he saw the bone bird, he inevitably began to miss it.

He missed Prince Ryan, or of course, Roshyank The Devil. He missed the time when that guy was still with him. He could say whatever he wanted to every day, and they could talk about anything in their hearts.

… As an enemy of the Demon King, this was really crazy.

In the Demon King's palace next to the Dark Abyss that had been cleaned up.

There were official documents on the table in front of him. Your Majesty The Demon King, Roschinke, seemed to be reviewing them.

In front of him was a huge light crystal. After a while, he would look up at the crystal, and the image on the crystal was constantly changing.

His cold face seemed to soften under the reflection of the crystal.

This time, when he looked at the crystal again, he found that it was pitch black, and there was no other image.

This didn't mean that the bone bird's spying had failed. If it had been destroyed, the crystal would have been broken, so the bone bird should have been caught and put away by someone.

A smile appeared on Demon King Luoxienke's face. He thought for a moment and took out a thick, gold-stamped notebook that looked very proper.

Then he solemnly wrote: "Holy Light Calendar 1366, late summer, early autumn, September 3rd."

"Xu Jun participated in a duel without suspense. He met two new young people, and it seems that they will become friends."

When he wrote the word "friends", Roschinke hesitated a little. In his eyes, being friends with humans was not a good thing, but that was Xu Jun, and it was easy for him to make friends with people.

"— — He also caught a bone bird."

The last sentence, even the brush strokes were too gentle.

The author has something to say: Junjun the Brave: You sent a bone bird to peep at me!

I didn't expect you to be such a Demon King!

Xixi the Demon King: No, I want to peep at you in your dreams. _ (: 3.gov.cn) _

Junjun the Brave: Meow meow meow?

What does this mean?

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
