Roar! ! ! ! !
A giant silver bear, as big as a small mountain, appeared in front of the curly-haired girl. It brought its head close to the terrified girl, opened its blood-red maw, and roared loudly!
The giant bear's aura, carrying a terrifying pressure, swept across the curly-haired girl's face like a whirlwind, distorting her features.
Two seconds later, Leila stopped.
A pool of yellow liquid slowly flowed from beneath the dazed, curly-haired girl.
Chapter 32 Do You Like War? (Next chapter is a long one)
The curly-haired girl stared at the silver giant bear that was several times her height, her expression completely frozen, her pupils trembling wildly.
She tried several times to get up and run away, but her legs wouldn't obey her commands. She could only watch helplessly as the silver bear got closer and closer, her body trembling like a sieve.
Luo Xiu then spoke again with a smile:
"Would you like to challenge me to a duel?"
Leila had even opened her gaping maw, which was only a hair's breadth away from the curly-haired girl's neck.
It has the air of a girl who would bite it if she didn't agree.
The scent of a wild beast rushed into her nostrils, and the curly-haired girl opened her mouth, almost agreeing amidst fear and panic.
"me……"
But at the last moment, her will to survive seemed to clear her mind a bit.
She came to her senses and, looking at Leila in front of her, began to speak with difficulty:
"I... I won't accept it!"
The words fell,
The terrifying pressure in front of them disappeared.
The girl gasped for breath as if she had been rescued from drowning.
She looked at Luo Xiu and Leila, who had transformed back into human form, and knew that she had made the right bet.
Commoners can challenge nobles to duels, but if the nobles do not accept, any further offensive actions are considered as preemptive attacks.
The man in front of me was clearly afraid!
The thrill of escaping death made her laugh wildly:
"What can you, you damned commoner, do to me if I simply refuse your challenge?!"
Her eyes fell on the yellow puddle on the ground, and shame and indignation welled up inside her. She wished she could kill everyone who had seen her disgraceful state.
The expression on his face gradually became distorted and twisted:
"I not only refuse to accept your duel, but I also do not acknowledge the duel between you and Cyril that just took place!"
"Without a notary, who can prove that the duel actually happened?! I'm going back to the Noble Council to submit my resignation, saying that you attacked Cyril first!!"
The girl kept shouting there.
Completely unaware that Luo Xiu's lips were gradually curving upwards, his smile growing ever brighter.
As expected, you really can't reason with these people.
His gaze drifted to a small path behind and to the side of the girl.
There was a familiar figure hiding and peeking around that corner.
Luo Xiu noticed it as soon as he arrived, since the figure was indeed difficult to hide in given its size.
Since someone is secretly watching,
Luo Xiu initially adopted a relatively gentle approach towards the curly-haired girl.
After all, we have to consider the aftermath.
But since the girl in front of me refuses to back down, things will only get a little more complicated...
Just as Luo Xiu made up his mind,
A voice spoke:
"Who says there are no notaries? I am a notary."
Luo Xiu was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Grandma Oles who spoke.
The curly-haired girl's laughter stopped abruptly.
She looked at the elderly woman, Oles, who had spoken up about wanting to be the notary, her face full of mockery:
"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting, you old hag?! Do you think a lowly commoner like you can be a notary? Don't you know the Council of Nobles only accepts nobles as notaries?!"
The old woman didn't respond to the curly-haired girl's taunts, but slowly reached into her bosom and tremblingly took out a green cloth bag.
Under the bewildered gazes of Luo Xiu and the curly-haired girl, the old lady slowly and carefully unwrapped the green cloth bundle layer by layer.
As the green cloth bundles gradually diminished, a golden badge was finally revealed.
It was a very small badge, about the size of a fingernail.
The badge has a shiny surface and looks like it has been wiped frequently.
On the front of the badge is a six-pointed star.
The curly-haired girl's expression immediately changed when she saw the design on the badge.
Aurelia carefully picked up the badge from the cloth bag, held it in her hand, looked directly into the eyes of the curly-haired girl, and slowly said:
"This is the First Class Six-Pointed Star Citizen Badge posthumously awarded to my deceased husband by the kingdom for his outstanding performance in the siege of the goblins twenty-six years ago."
"This badge is used to commemorate every warrior who risked his life for the kingdom."
"This badge and its immediate family members can enjoy the lowest level of aristocratic treatment by virtue of this badge, including litigation, medical care and notarization."
Oles held the badge in her hand, and her entire demeanor seemed to change.
If she was just a stubborn old lady before, now she exudes a resolute aura, and the pride in her words seems to make anyone with a guilty conscience feel ashamed.
Luo Xiu had never seen this little old lady like this before, nor had he ever heard her mention that she had a husband who died on the battlefield.
Even when she was being bullied by a girl, she never used it.
Whether she felt it was useless, didn't want to use it, or felt the girl wasn't worthy of her using it, Luo Xiu had no idea.
But Luo Xiu knew that the old lady had indeed taken it out, at this moment, for his own sake.
The curly-haired girl looked very unpleasant. She stared intently at the badge in the old lady Oles's hand, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Finally, she spoke through gritted teeth:
Even if you acknowledge the duel we just had, I will not accept this one!
You have to accept it.
A gentle and soft voice sounded from the side and behind.
Luo Xiu smiled.
So you've finally agreed to come out?
When the curly-haired girl heard someone else contradicting her, she immediately turned around, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse.
But the next thing the figure in front of her said made her swallow the curse.
"Klaus, Viscount Rohr's sixth child, and one of his three least favored children, am I right?"
Mrs. Chelsea said with a smile.
Today she was wearing an oversized, wide white dress, which looked like a baggy bathrobe.
Her forehead was covered in sweat; for someone of her size, she had never traveled without a carriage before.
But for the purpose of her visit today, she had to walk, without even bringing a servant.
Her breathing was a little erratic from walking, but she still looked at the curly-haired girl Klaus and continued speaking:
"I imagine even Viscount Rohr had some trouble finding you a second-tier swordsman as your attendant. You must have begged him for a long time, right?"
"If Viscount Rol knew that the servant he went to so much trouble to find for you had turned out like this, he would probably dislike you even more."
"Besides, I heard you have two older sisters who really hate you."
Mrs. Chelsea smiled and told Klaus everything.
With each word he spoke, Klaus's expression grew increasingly grim.
When Chelsea finally uttered those words, Klaus was struck dumb:
“I’ve heard that Viscount Rohr is a man of great integrity and courtesy. You wouldn’t want him to know that you not only refused a commoner’s duel invitation but were also so frightened that you lost control of your bladder.”
Klaus looked at Chelsea in despair.
She didn't know who this woman in front of her was, or why she seemed to know so much about her affairs.
Chelsea seemed to read Klaus's mind and smiled slightly:
“My name is Chelsea, and I am the wife of the lord of Wheel Town.”
Klaus felt only coldness in his body at that moment.
She didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
Clearly, they only stole a house from a lowly commoner.
Finally, as if utterly resigned to her fate, she spoke to Luo Xiu in a dejected manner:
"I accept the duel."
“But I need time to prepare, which is clearly stipulated in the law of nobility.”
Luo Xiu nodded.
Klaus walked away with his hair disheveled.
Chelsea watched Klaus's retreating figure and said:
"She won't come looking for you again. Her servants are useless, and having lost such an important resource, she has no chance of making a comeback. Her life as a noblewoman is over."
