Working Prophet.

Chapter 498 Duel Request
After being promoted, the Earth Bear did not leave the arena, but walked towards the stands again.

Seeing this, the two teams of imperial guards who were in charge of protecting His Majesty held down their sword hilts one after another, and the captain at the head rushed towards the bear of the earth.

"Stop, civilian, if you dare to take a step forward, I guarantee that your head will leave your neck!"

"It doesn't matter, Torbert, let him come here. He is a priest of Cornelia and he comes from the Boleslaw family. He is not suspicious." His Majesty said.

The leading imperial guard stepped aside upon hearing the words, but still did not remove his palm from the hilt.

Edward II said to the Earth Bear again, "Come here, come closer, let me take a good look, I haven't seen such a brave warrior for a long time."

The Earth Bear took another two big steps forward, bowing down to salute the emperor and empress respectfully.

"Very good, come here, give him one hundred, no, two hundred golden lions, we should all thank him for the wonderful contest he just presented." The emperor said with satisfaction.

The Earth Bear saluted again and thanked, "It is my honor, Your Majesty, my martial skills are nothing compared to yours."

"Hahahaha, why are you all so humble now." Having said that, it was obvious from Edward II's face that he was very useful, and he paused and said again.

"I remember you, I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to fight for honor and the final championship."

However, the Earth Bear did not take the two heavy bags of gold coins from the guards.

"Why, do you think it's too little?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned.

"No, of course not, it's just that I want something else more than these gold coins."

"What?" Edward II asked curiously.

"I want your permission to fight a duel."

Hearing these words, the second prince Claudio's face changed slightly, and Miss Rabbit in front of him also looked at him sympathetically.

However, Edward II was not stupid, and did not immediately agree, but asked, "Who do you want to fight?"

"My duel opponent is the lord of the green field, the dragon-slaying knight you personally appointed, Sir Ilea from the Arias family." The Earth Bear paused.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

Miss Rabbit, who was the party involved, was completely dumbfounded.

"Why did you challenge Ser Ilea?" the emperor continued.

"Because she killed my nephew."

"Your nephew? I have never seen your nephew, how could I kill him?" the female lord couldn't help but ask.

"My nephew's name is Marcin, and he's nicknamed Honey Bear. I don't know if you have any impression of Sir Ilea now?" There was an undisguised murderous intent in the eyes of the Earth Bear.

"Marcin has admired me since he was a child. Not long after I left the family, he was framed and soon expelled from the family. The original marriage with Viscount Hammond's daughter also fell through.

"Afterwards, Ma Xin took their token of love and went to the west alone to wander around and became a mercenary. Then he accepted a commission to help a noble lady find her daughter."

"He didn't pay much attention to this commission at the beginning, because the men in the Boleslaw family are very good at finding people, and he found the target easily.

"I didn't expect to be involved in a dangerous internal strife among noble families. In the end, you and your subordinates chopped off your head, Sir Ilea."

"The token of love between him and Dalia, a string of pearl necklaces, should still be in your hand."

The Earth Bear said coldly, "I have no wife and no heirs. I have always regarded Ma Xin as my own son. I must avenge him."

"You're lying. Honey Bear came to arrest me on the order of my stepmother. It's not a simple entrustment, and they were the first to do it."

The female lord retorted, "Merlin and I only had to do it to protect ourselves, and besides, it was obviously Jude who killed him."

"So where is this Jude now?" The Earth Bear asked back.

"He went to help me find out where the dragon was, and he died in the swamp."

"So you admit that he is yours."

"He is a mercenary. I only hired him for a short time... Strictly speaking, our employment relationship hadn't started when he killed someone."

"Then he killed my nephew for you, and several other mercenaries who came to you together, do you believe this kind of nonsense yourself?" The Earth Bear sneered contemptuously.

"Okay, okay," Edward II interrupted the quarrel between the two, "It's all old things, why mention these spoilers.

"Chibney, you want to challenge Sir Ilea to a duel to avenge your nephew, I can understand your feelings, but it is impossible to agree.

"Because you are just a commoner now, and Sir Ilea is a nobleman of the empire. According to the laws of the empire, commoners are not allowed to initiate duels against nobles."

The female lord was slightly relieved when she heard this sentence, but before she could be happy, she listened to His Majesty the Emperor continue.

"But if you can keep winning, and Ser Ilea can keep winning, you will meet at the tourney anyway, and you may be able to settle your grievances there."

Miss Rabbit was stunned again when she heard this sentence, and then a huge sense of fear hit her.

However, the eyes of the Earth Bear under the stands showed a look of joy.

Because Edward II agreed that both of them could fight to the death in the contest.

Although it has always been common for people to die in martial arts tournaments, even if there were no words from the emperor, no one would hold him accountable if the Earth Bear killed Ilea.

But no matter what, the female lord is now regarded as a popular person in front of Edward II. If she dies, she might offend His Majesty the Emperor.

The Earth Bear especially didn't want this incident to affect the relationship between Priest Cornelia and Edward II.

That's why he took advantage of today's rare opportunity to clarify this grievance in advance.

The Earth Bear can also let go of his hands and feet completely, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face again.

In contrast, the female lord's face instantly turned pale, without a trace of blood.

Edward II was elated, because in his opinion, both the Dragon Slayer Knight and the Earth Bear were first-class masters, and the duel between them would definitely be exciting and interesting.

As for Queen Heloise, she continued to taste the wine in her hand, her eyes were misty, and she seemed to have no interest in what was happening right now.

Ilea just felt that this moment was stripped away from the world, whether it was the picture in front of her eyes or the sound in her ear, it became very far away.

She vaguely felt that someone was talking to her, but she couldn't hear a word.
