LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

The next day, morning.

Quinn came back with news again.

"At one o'clock last night, they went back to the forest where they were the night before. They didn't return until about three or four o'clock."

"Did you go again?"

Lu Qi listened and thought for a moment.

Looking at it this way, it seems that they did not just do it once or twice. It is possible that they have started to hang out like this since the day they came to the royal capital.

First of all, what is certain is that they must be looking for something, otherwise they would be running around outside the royal capital in the middle of the night.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qi said: "Continue to observe and let me know if you find anything new."

"yes."

Quinn responded.

Watching her walk towards the backyard, Lu Qi leaned on the rocking chair and said casually in his mind: "Sign in."

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the primary skill upgrade card*1]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the training card (three days)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare and exotic fruit-red grape]

There are three rewards this time, although nothing particularly good.

Lu Qi has already saved two basic skill upgrade cards. So far, he has no skills he wants to upgrade, so he keeps them in his backpack.

Had breakfast.

Lu Qi sat casually on the rocking chair, with an easel in front of him, and on it was a half-finished landscape oil painting.

Compared to the crisp and sharp movements in his serious state, Lu Qi's movements at this moment were one stroke at a time, killing time leisurely.

Next to her, Lux was holding a newspaper in her hand, looking at the content on it, and then said: "Yesterday afternoon, the Laurent family sent someone to challenge that Hughes."

When Lu Qi heard this, he became a little interested. He turned his head and moved closer, almost leaning on Miss Crown Guard, while his eyes fell on the newspaper in her hand.

Automatically skipping some irrelevant content, he quickly found what he wanted to read.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon on October 2nd, Blanche Laurent went to the Scaffold Embassy to challenge Hughes Francis and failed miserably.

An hour later, Baruch Laurent challenged again and failed miserably.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Willis Laurent challenged and lost in three moves.

Hughes said: As long as he is from the Laurent family, no matter how many people come to challenge him, he will accept it. He hopes that those who come tomorrow will no longer be a few incompetent losers. "

This sentence fully reflects what arrogance and arrogance are.

But the record in the newspaper also proves that Hughes does have the capital to do so.

"Three consecutive defeats."

Lux couldn't believe it after reading it.

In one afternoon, the Laurent family sent three people to challenge Hughes, but they all lost.

Moreover, Hughes did not refuse the challenges launched by Laurent. Not only did he accept them all, he also defeated his opponents miserably.

In this way, through the publicity in today's newspapers, the matter may have spread throughout the capital.

Hughes became famous in one fell swoop, and the Laurent family completely became a stepping stone.

And as this incident spread, the duel challenge that Hughes launched to Amuda, the eldest son of the Laurent family, on the National Day also spread throughout the royal capital.

Today, everyone in the royal capital is talking about this matter.

At this time, Lux saw Fiona walking towards her and immediately put the newspaper away with an expression as if she had not seen anything.

Seeing her like this, Fiona smiled: "I already know, someone was scolded this morning."

She said and glanced at Lu Qi.

Originally, this matter would not have caused such a big fuss.

But after the newspaper publicity, everyone now knows.

After reading the newspaper this morning, the faces of the three elders turned blue.

With such publicity, the Laurent family has indeed become famous again, and people in the royal capital once again recall this former swordsman family.

But the way to become famous is to be a stepping stone for others.

Lux looked at Fiona and asked curiously: "Then what do you think?"

"Isn't that true?"

Fiona said with a cold tone and no care.

Although she is also from the Laurent family, she feels that this wave of embarrassment in her family is their own fault.

It's not particularly honorable to harass your opponent before a duel.

Coupled with these three consecutive defeats, it can now be described as embarrassing.

The decision was made by the three clan elders and other clan relatives. Although her father and mother did not agree, they could not stop it.

Lu Qi asked at this time: "What about today? What are you going to do?"

"Of course they are ready to regain their reputation." Fiona chuckled and sat down casually. "They will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. If they want to earn back the lost face, they can only continue to challenge."

Lux asked: "What if we lose again today?"

"Then it will be more humiliating." Fiona smiled faintly.

She said this as if she were speaking from the perspective of a bystander.

This is indeed the case.

For so many years, she watched from a corner that people didn't notice, bit by bit, consuming away the reputation and glory of the Laurent family.

Today, this family is immersed in the glory of the past and cannot extricate itself. It has a beautiful outer shell but nothing inside.

In fact, many of the younger generations of the Laurent family are not as good as their distant relatives.

In her opinion, such a family is bound to decline.

"Then go over and have a look in the afternoon."

Lu Qi expressed that he was very interested and planned to go to the site in the afternoon.

Time flies, it’s one o’clock in the afternoon.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the Skagoen Embassy.

This is a residence specially built for foreign envoys, and it occupies a large area.

When the Luqi family's carriage stopped, there were already many carriages parked around it.

Obviously, there are still many people coming to watch the fun.

In addition to some nobles, more residents of the royal capital gathered around the embassy.

"Everyone, please come in."

An emissary from Skagorn opened access to everyone.

Naturally, Lu Qi and the others did not need to enter through the main entrance. They were very portable and were led by a dedicated person. They quickly arrived at the periphery of a ring specially prepared inside the embassy.

After choosing a location, some nobles spotted a few people and walked up to say hello.

Lu Qi responded one by one.

It didn't take long for the real owner this time to appear.

On the stage.

Hughes was holding a weapon that was shaped like a sword. It had a very unique shape and was about one meter long. It shone with a cold light in his hand.

Standing opposite him was the young and powerful member of the Laurent family, holding a thin sword in his hand and standing straight.

This man's name is Farmer, and in terms of relationship, he is Fiona's cousin.

Farmer didn't expect so many people to come today. At this moment, there was almost a crowd of people outside the ring.

Being watched by so many eyes, he couldn't help but adjust his clothes, then held the sword again and looked at Hughes opposite.

It was a great opportunity for him to make a name for himself.

"You defeated several of my clan brothers, but you still spoke arrogantly. Today I must stand up and punish your arrogance."

Farmer said righteously while waving the accessory twice in the air.

Hughes looked indifferent and said disdainfully: "Stop talking nonsense, you look as incompetent as the three losers yesterday."

Farmer's expression showed a bit of irritation, and he snorted coldly: "I will let you try the Laurent family's sword skills."

According to the rules of the duel, the two walked in a circle facing each other, changing their steps and sword-holding postures according to the movements prescribed by the duel ceremony, just like the salute between two dance partners before the music of a waltz played.

This is a duel ritual.

It also reminded the audience that the battle they were looking forward to was about to begin.

After the ceremony, Farmer raised his sword without saying a word, rushed forward with a vigorous step, and stabbed his opponent's heart with the thin sword in his hand.

The swords of the Laurent family are fast and fierce, and this sword is indeed neat and crisp in the eyes of the audience.

In the stands, Fiona frowned and then relaxed, her calm eyes seemed to know the outcome of the duel.

But her eyes still fell on the stage, and this time the person she was looking at was Hughes.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hughes's lips, he turned sideways to avoid the sword, and the strange-looking sword in his hand slashed towards Farmer's neck.

Farmer immediately retracted his rapier to block, then counterattacked.

However, as soon as the counterattack sword came out of his body, Hughes's sword fell faster.

For a moment, Farmer felt tremendous pressure.

Shock flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect his opponent's sword to be so fast.

Without any time to think, he sheathed his sword to block again, but he didn't realize that within two moves, he was already at a disadvantage.

"What? Don't you want me to try Laurent's sword skills?"

Hughes's face already had a touch of relaxation and sarcasm.

His casualness made Farmer feel that he had lost a long time ago, but his opponent did not do so on purpose.

"Then get ready!" In his heart, he became even more angry. Farmer shouted and thrust out a few swords with all his strength, regaining the upper hand in a short time.

In the stands, Lu Qi took a look and said, "It seems like he is trying to understand the swordsmanship of your Laurent family."

Fiona still looked at the stage, nodded when she heard this, and had already discovered this.

Lux asked blankly: "What do you mean?"

"When he used his second sword, he actually won."

Lucci looked at Hughes and Farmer who were still fighting on the stage, "It's just that he didn't want to win so quickly."

Lux nodded suddenly, and then looked at Farmer who kept stabbing his sword on the stage.

I feel that the swordsmanship is obviously from the same family, why do I feel that this person is far worse than Miss Swordswoman?

Facts have proved that for Hughes, this duel is indeed a win if he wants to.

After he discovered that he could not learn more about the Laurent sword from Farmer, he quickly ended the battle.

Farmer was swinging his sword vigorously, but when he came to his senses, he found that Hughes's sword was already hovering at his throat, and he immediately broke into a cold sweat.

"Are you the brother of those three people yesterday?" Hughes looked at Farmer in front of him and smiled disdainfully: "In my opinion, compared to them, your only advantage is that you are a little older."

The words seemed to say that he was also the same waste.

"You" Farmer felt a little embarrassed and immediately clenched his fists.

In a sacred duel, few people would humiliate their opponent after winning like Hughes.

"Farmer, come down."

Under the stage, a man holding a rapier in his arms spoke out.

Farmer heard this, looked away from Hughes's face, glanced at the chattering audience around him, sighed, and walked off the ring.

The man holding the sword came on stage and looked at Hughes: "I am Araka Laurent, the brother of the challenger just now. Your next challenger is me. In an hour, I will challenge you to a duel."

Hughes laughed and said nonchalantly: "No need to go to such trouble, I will accept your duel now."

The contempt in his tone made Alaka's face darken: "Since you said so, let's get started."

He drew out his rapier and waved it twice in the air, dodging two rays of sword light.

Araka is second only to Amuda in strength among the Laurent family.

In Fiona's impression, he was indeed somewhat talented.

However, looking at Hughes opposite, a thoughtful flash appeared in her eyes.

On the ring, the battle between Hughes and Araka is about to begin as the duel ceremony ends.

Araka did not choose to take the initiative to attack. He held the rapier in his hand and stood calmly, sizing up his opponent.

"Ah."

Rest snorted coldly, raised his sword and rushed forward in a flash.

There seemed to be an indescribable momentum all over his body, which brought a layer of pressure to people out of thin air.

And his swordsmanship is also quite fast.

Alaka stared closely at his opponent. When the opponent moved, he immediately reacted and stabbed out with his rapier without guarding.

The encounter between the two fast swords is destined to lead to an even more intense confrontation.

As the battle began, Lu Qi quickly felt a sense of sword intent, and then he glanced at Fiona next to him.

Miss Jian Ji frowned and seemed to feel it too.

This sword intent comes from Hughes.

And upon closer inspection, you can see that Hughes's state is a little different at the moment, as if he is much more excited.

Lu Qi now possesses a variety of sword intentions, and his understanding of sword intentions can be said to be very high.

At this moment, I also felt the difference in the sword intent of Hughes.

After thinking about it for a moment, he discovered the details that he had overlooked in a battle.

This was not obvious in the last game because Farmer was not strong enough.

Thinking back at this moment, Lu Qi realized that Hughes didn't seem to just want to understand the Laurent family's swordsmanship by delaying the battle.

He is still accumulating sword power.

As the sword intent on Hughes's body showed up, Lu Qi could feel that his state and momentum had also changed.

All have become a bit stronger.

And as the fight raged on, Hughes seemed to be getting stronger.

This point is somewhat similar to the Wuji Sword Intent, which means there is no limit, so the Wuji Sword Intent will become stronger and stronger in battle.

In contrast, Hughes is more like fighting to get himself into a better state.

In this state, his strength will be stronger than in normal times.

The Infinite Sword Intent can grow infinitely without any restrictions.

The sword intent in Hughes gave Lu Qi a feeling more like a breakthrough. He accumulated a certain amount of sword intent through battles, broke through to a new level, and became more powerful.

So he did not wait for an hour, but directly started a new battle with Araka.

Lu Qi looked at the stage thoughtfully. Although this was just his speculation, he felt that it was almost the same.

Halfway through the battle, Alaka already felt a lot of pressure.

He realized that the clan elders had all underestimated this person.

His strength is very strong!

Fiona stood up, no longer intending to watch any more, and was ready to leave.

She knew in her heart that there was no point in watching this duel anymore.

When Lu Qi and others saw this, they also stood up and followed her to leave early.

Not long after they left, on the ring, the rapier in Araka's hand fell to the ground.

In the afternoon, without the need for newspaper publicity, the battle at the Skagoen Embassy had become a hot topic among the people of the royal capital.

Farmer and Araka are brothers. Although they are not as famous as Amuda in Mithril City, they are still relatively famous.

However, the two brothers challenged Hughes one after another today, but in the end they both lost.

This not only once again proved that Hughes possesses great strength, but also seemed to convey to the world that the Laurent family today seems to be no longer what it used to be.

The young members of the Laurent family who had certain abilities were all defeated by Hughes in two days.

After this wave, the Laurent family completely became Hughes' background.

And Hughes also said after defeating Araka that he would crush the last dignity of the Laurent family.

Now, there is only one rightful owner left, Amuda.

Amuda, who had been in seclusion for the past two days, learned about this incident and could not understand this operation.

"Grandpa, why did you challenge him to a duel without telling me?"

In the Laurent family, Amuda looked directly at the elders in front of him, with helpless anger in his eyes.

At this moment, the expressions of the three clan elders and the uncles were not very good either.

Facing his gaze, the elder of the big clan still spoke: "Because you now represent more than just yourself. You are the next successor of the clan leader we selected. If anything goes wrong in this duel, then the entire Laurentians will be affected." The reputation of the Te family will be damaged."

This duel was launched on National Day, and the entire royal capital was there to witness it.

If the next successor is defeated by foreign envoys, this will have a great impact on the Laurent family.

Amuda asked: "Is it any better now?"

This question made everyone in the room fall silent.

Five consecutive losses in two days.

Most of the younger members of the Laurent family were abused by others.

There has been a lot of talk about the Laurent family in the past two days, and it can be said that Hughes has made a name for himself with the help of the Laurent family.

As a result, the Laurent family's reputation has suffered a lot.

Moreover, this unnecessary operation not only failed to prevent tomorrow's duel, but also let more people know about it.

At the same time, it also brought more pressure to Amuda.

"No matter what, you have a good rest today and prepare for tomorrow's duel."

At this point, Sebastian stood up and looked at Amuda and said gently: "Don't put too much pressure on me. The reputation of the Laurent family will not disappear just because of a duel."

That being said, everyone knows that the content of tomorrow's duel is completely different.

It's easy to say that Amuda won.

But if they lose, the Laurent family may never be able to hold their heads up again from now on.

Looking into his father's eyes, Amuda took a deep breath and said, "Yes, father. I'm going to the backyard to continue practicing my sword."

Looking at his back walking out, Sebastian sighed in relief and listened quietly to the discussions of the tribesmen around him.

His eyes fell on his legs.

He is not a competent father.

If we hadn't underestimated the enemy so much back then.

His wife, son and daughter would not be under so much pressure.

It was getting dark, almost eleven o'clock.

In Luqi Courtyard.

"See you tomorrow."

Fiona stood at the door of the courtyard and said goodbye.

"See you tomorrow."

Lu Qi nodded and asked casually: "By the way, are you drinking the medicine I prescribed for your uncle?"

Fiona nodded and replied: "I drink it every day."

"That's good."

Lu Qi smiled and watched Fiona turn and leave.

Since the last time the Laurents came to the hospital, he had noticed Sebastian's leg injury, so after that, he got him some medicine.

If you calculate the time, it should have some effect.
