Chapter 1145: Substituting one thing for another
"My lord! Thanks to divine grace, I quickly woke up from my slumber. I was surprised to find that my armor and sword had been taken away!"
Simone became angrier as he spoke.
"I hurried to find my father and asked him why he drugged the wine and stole my weapons and armor."
"My poor father finally revealed the truth under my questioning. It turned out that he knocked me out because he wanted my eldest brother to put on my armor, take my sword, and use magic to disguise himself as me and replace me. Duel with Musk!"
"I know that I am by no means a match for Musk. My eldest brother has a good chance of winning. My father wants to use this method of subversion to gain an advantage in the duel. I can understand it, but as a paladin, I can't Accept this unfair approach!”
Simeone's explosive news caused a commotion outside the court, and people looked at Sir Colombo with a bit of contempt.
The old man's face turned red with embarrassment, his hand holding the cane tightly was trembling, and he lowered his head, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
The three referees exchanged glances and turned to look at the fake Simeone on the field.
The man sighed, raised his hand and wiped his face, releasing the "disguise spell" and revealing his true face.
As Gao Fei had learned before, the man who pretended to be his brother and came to duel was Umberto.
"Mr. Umberto, what else do you have to say about Simeone's accusation?" the referee asked with a cold face.
"I admit that I assumed Simeone's identity, which is disgraceful, but this does not prevent the duel from proceeding as usual."
Umberto argued calmly.
"In that duel announcement, Brother Musk's opponent was the son of Sir Colombo, but the specific son was not specified. As the eldest son of Sir Colombo, I am of course qualified to be on the duel field."
"You call yourself Sir Alex Sir Alex's eldest son, and Simeone also calls you your brother. This is strange. We have never heard that Sir Alex Colombo has a second son." Another referee asked doubtfully.
"In fact, I am indeed the son of Sir Colombo, but my background is more complicated. You can regard me as Sir's illegitimate son."
"No! This is not entirely true!" Simeone rushed to clarify the truth, "Brother Umberto is my father's legal eldest son, and I am the illegitimate son who can't see the light!"
There was another round of whispers and whispers on the sidelines.
People were excited and wanted to know more about the dark inside story of the Colombo family as a source of conversation after dinner.
"Okay, Simone, don't talk about these things anymore."
Family scandals should not be made public, and Umberto gave his brother a stern look to stop him from revealing his father's secrets.
Although this kind of bloody drama is common in upper class society, it is too shameful to publicize it in public.
The referee nodded understandingly, turned around and asked Giovanni Colombo: "Sir, is Mr. Umberto's statement true?"
The old man nodded hard.
"Then according to the regulations, your eldest son is indeed qualified to replace his younger brother in a duel, provided that he gets your authorization."
Sir Colombo was silent.
"Please allow me to ask again," the referee raised his voice, "do you agree with Umberto replacing Simone in the duel with Mr. Justice?"
Sir Colombo's face turned blue and white, his lips trembled, and he hesitated to speak.
The audience on the sidelines started making noise again, and some even couldn't help but curse Sir Colombo for being partial and hypocritical!
Among all the spectators, Claire was the most angry.
The red-haired girl rushed out of the crowd and scolded Sir Colombo with contempt: "Old guy! If you are still a man, you should fight Musk in person instead of letting your innocent son repay what you owed. debt!"
Sir Colombo's face turned pale, and he took two steps back in fear, almost falling down.
The referee was also impatient with his indecisiveness and said with a dark face: "Sir, your silence can only be regarded as tacit approval!"
Another referee walked to the other side of the field and asked Gao Fei: "Sorry, Mr. Justice, if you refuse to accept Mr. Umberto's challenge, we can let Simeone play, which is more fair to both parties. "
At the same time, Gao Fei received a plot branch prompt from the system.
Route A: Oppose substitutions on the spot and insist on dueling with Simeone (Ocean Knight Level 12).
Route B: Accept the referee's arrangement and duel with Umberto (Swift Swordsman level 12).
…
Gao Fei smiled slightly and chose route B without hesitation.
Of course he knows that choosing route A is a sure win, but this is too boring and the entire module will look anticlimactic.
From the first day he met Umberto, Musk regarded this "archangel" as his idol. Now that the story has reached its end, it is time to try to challenge the idol and surpass this "archangel" - this is what counts The climax of the previous scene!
Knowing that Gao Fei was not opposed to substitutions on the spot, the referee breathed a sigh of relief and announced that the duel would proceed as usual.
Before going on stage, Gao Fei first added "Mage Armor", "Shield Technique", "Fire Resistance Barrier", "Attribute Enhancement", "Acceleration Technique", "Advanced Enemy Defeat Machine" and "Spiritual Body Guard". Get "Warlock's Mask", "Druid's Mask" and "Warrior's Mask".
Umberto on the opposite side also gained the "Shield Technique" and "Mirror Shadow Technique", replaced his weapons and leather armor, and walked into the duel field.
"Musk, I'm sorry. It's not fair to you that I replace Simeone in the duel." Umberto sighed, "Actually, you have the right to refuse the substitution."
"Yes, Brother Umberto, I could have refused to duel with you, but I didn't want to do that." Gao Fei replied calmly, "Just like you could have refused Sir Colombo's request and refused to pretend to be your brother on the duel field, but you After all, I relented and couldn’t refuse my family’s request.”
Umberto smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Brother Musk, you are very smart and have guessed some things that happened in the Colombo family. However, this is not all, because you ignored one of the most critical facts... In addition to my father and Simone, you are also one of my most important family members, do you think I will treat you favorably?”
Gao Fei felt a throbbing in his heart.
Umberto's sad expression made him unable to help but think about the worst.
"Brother Umberto, actually you are not here to duel, but to die, right?"
Gao Fei lowered his voice and revealed the "Archangel's" thoughts word by word.
"Simone is obviously not my opponent, but he still insists on fighting for his father. It is possible that he is determined to die and would rather sacrifice his own life in exchange for my forgiveness for Sir Colombo."
