Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2106 Guidance Bureau
At the same time, Xia Duo also started his own counterattack: "It's fine if a child is ignorant, why is Elder Aesop so ignorant? Doesn't Elder Aesop know Tal Ash's original intention?
"As far as I know, in the history of the Tequiser clan, there has never been an example of performing a Tal Ash ritual with a foreign race. Does Elder Aesop want to be the first?
"No, how could you be the first elf to break this tradition that has lasted for tens of thousands of years! This kid should be the first! If this really happened, I don't know what future generations will think!"

As soon as Xia Duo finished speaking, King Helian immediately followed, "Lord Xia Duo is right, Elder Aesop told me to respect tradition a while ago, but now he wants to break this traditional practice by himself? "

In this regard, Aesop quickly retorted, "[Tal Ash] has extended its original meaning to a richer concept than the original one in the long history. If there is a disagreement between elves and humans, they can naturally make decisions one by one."

Seeing that Aesop still dared to refute, Helien became more angry in his heart, but instead showed a smile on his face, and then looked straight into the other's eyes indifferently, with an emphasis on almost every syllable, and asked:

"Is Elder Aesop really going to embarrass our guests?"

"If King Mian thinks it's wrong, forget it, it's just a pity that Beno's child has such a pure martial spirit!"

At the critical moment, Aesop still backed down, not knowing whether he really cared about Beno, or was afraid of the king, but Xia Duo was unwilling to skip this section so easily, he stood up again, and said to Beno:
"Actually, if you want to learn swordsmanship, you don't have to go through the Tal Ash ceremony. Could it be that ordinary duels can't make you improve? My child, as a pioneer in the field of swordsmanship, I think it is necessary for me to give you some pointers!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo had already walked to the place in the center of the banquet that was originally used for performances, and cast a spell to take two training swords from the weapon rack outside the courtyard, holding one in his hand, and sending the other to Beno .

In fact, it is not uncommon to perform duels at banquets to add to the fun, or it is very common, but it is indeed the first time he has heard of the Tal Ash ceremony.

What he is doing now is actually to show the other party and all the guests at the banquet that the upcoming battle will be of a performance and exchange nature. If Beno thinks that his martial arts can only be satisfied through the Tal Ash ceremony, then this He shouldn't have lost in a duel performance of a competitive nature!

In order to add a little more drama to this performance, Xia Duo held his sword and drew a circle with a diameter of about 3 feet outside the place where his feet stood, and then made a gesture of opening to Benobi.

As he thought, the young elf really couldn't stand the stimulation, and his face flushed. But at this moment, Beno still kept a sliver of reason, and subconsciously looked in Aesop's direction.

Xia Duo noticed this scene, but he didn't care. What he is showing now is actually a duel ceremony, but it's just a simplified version, and it's often used in the sparring between apprentices.

Of course, this is not the key point, the key point is that swordsmanship teachers in the elf world often use this simplified duel ceremony to instruct apprentices, and the symbol is the circle.

No matter how the teacher tosses and turns, both feet cannot leave the ground at the same time, nor can they leave the range of the circle, while the students have no restrictions.

Xia Duo's invitation to fight in this way is actually telling the other party clearly——If you want to challenge me, you don't have the qualifications!It's almost the same if I point you!
Since Beno dared to perform the Tal Ash ceremony, he should be extremely proficient in both swordsmanship and spells. Otherwise, it would be a joke to kill a silver-like pewter spear head in seconds.

For countless years to come, there will be such a legend in Ye Erlan that a certain family of such and such challenged such and such a master of swordsmanship beyond their means, and in the end, he was defeated in one move, not only killed himself, but also brought shame on the family.

And the more confident he is in himself, the harder it is to accept Xia Duo's face-to-face slap, and no matter whether he agrees to Xia Duo's invitation to fight or not, Beno himself will be a head shorter.

It's good to say that if you win, once you lose, I'm afraid even the previous things will be revealed together. The impact on the family's reputation may not be much lighter than dying directly in the Tal Ash ceremony.

In addition, considering Xia Duo's identity as a human being, the impact may intensify.

But if he does not agree, it will be a good thing for the family, but for Beno himself, it will almost confirm the fact that he does not even have the level of the other party's apprentice.

Beno was annoyed, and Aesop was not much better, but he was more experienced than Beno, and it didn't show on his face.

At this moment, almost everyone present at the banquet focused their attention on Aesop, and some old friends even glanced back and forth at him and his nephew Beno with playful eyes, which made it almost harder for Aesop to maintain his sanity, almost subconsciously Just nodded at Beno.

And Beno, who got his uncle's approval, immediately stretched out his hand to hold the training sword suspended in front of him, then pointed the tip of the sword at Xia Duo, and said proudly:
"Human, you will pay for your arrogance!"

"I'm looking forward to it, because I always remember the teachings of an elder—a true master always has the heart of an apprentice!"

Although the elder is a fake, this is the true portrayal of Xia Duo's heart. He is indeed mocking the other party, but it is just a strategy and means. He does not think that he has reached the peak.

Of course, he doesn't really care much about the so-called "swordsmanship", which is probably an important reason why he can always recognize himself.

……

One party invites a battle, and since the other party has already faced it, then the duel agreement of this discussion nature is considered to be established, and the battle may start at any time.

Xia Duo stood with his sword in his hand, waiting for the opponent's attack, while Beno did not give in. He started with a straight thrust that hit Xia Duo's torso, and used some special technique to make the slender sword body It oscillated so violently that an afterimage was formed on the tip of the sword, making it difficult to tell the direction of the main attack.

"Humph!"

Xia Duo sneered in his heart, the opponent just stabbed straight, although he used some exquisite technique to vibrate the blade, but it was delusional to want to win with this alone.

If it was another human being, because of poor dynamic vision, it might be possible for the other party to succeed, but Xia Duo's avatar is not a flesh and blood body in essence, and his dynamic vision is almost comparable to his body after several awakenings.

If the power is completely liberated, there will be a variety of special perceptions. If it weren't for its many advantages, he wouldn't have been using this avatar all the time.

Compared with the main body, the only thing this avatar lacked was pure strength, but compared with Beno's strength, it was far from being irreparable by skills.

In other words, the strength of his avatar is actually no worse than that of Beno on the opposite side, but the strength of his main body is ridiculously large, which makes the avatar's strength somewhat insufficient.

Facing Beno's probing strike, Xia Duo just casually raised his hand, and when the opponent's sword tip oscillated to the extreme and its lateral velocity approached zero, he tapped lightly in the direction of the opponent's sword tip rebounding.

The original delicate shock balance was instantly broken, and then a bizarre scene appeared——

Beno's sword was stabbing towards Xia Duo, but it only pierced halfway. Beno let go of his hand suddenly like an electric shock, and then the unowned sword flew crookedly towards the banquet on one side.

Seeing this, Xia Duo hit the center of gravity of the training sword again and knocked it down. Looking at Beno again, he froze in place with an unbelievable expression.

The next moment, the other party screamed in a distorted voice that might have been caused by extreme emotional fluctuations——

"You cheated with spells!"
