[Panlong] Genius VS Genius

The next day, Lodi, the Duke of Paderson's housekeeper, came to the Debs family mansion early and asked Bernard about the whereabouts of the Duke of Paderson.

"The Duke is not here at the moment." Bernard replied.

Bernard just lent the secret room to Duke Paderson. He didn't know when Paderson went there to meet people and when he left.

Now Lody came to ask him where Duke Paderson was, how could he possibly know.

"Bernard, if you have the whereabouts of the Duke, please tell me immediately. This matter is not serious, but if it is serious, your family's smuggling of water jade may be exposed because of this." Lody He frowned and left.

Expose the Debs family's smuggling of water jade? !

Bernard looked at the back of Lodi leaving, his face turned pale.

Originally, I thought there was nothing wrong with that waiter's death, but now that I think about it, I feel a little strange.Uneasy, I decided to go to the secret room alone to find out.

His Excellency the Duke said that he wanted to meet someone in the secret room, but the waiter died at the entrance of the living room of the small building, and his Excellency the Duke had not yet returned home.

You must know that those subordinates who cleaned up the corpses did not know the secret room that the Duke went to.

If, if—

The more Bernard thought about it, the more frightened he became, he quickly denied his conjecture, and quickly headed to the secret room in three steps at a time.

"quack--"

After activating the mechanism, the door of the secret room opened.

Seeing the blood and debris left on the ground, Bernard frowned. It seemed that someone had died here, but since the person had been burned to ashes, he couldn't identify the deceased.

Bernard carefully observed the items on the ground, keeping his eyes on every detail, and suddenly, he found a ring among the remaining items.

"ring!"

This ring is silver-gray all over the body, very similar to the ring worn by Duke Paderson.

Bernard's face suddenly turned pale.

Duke Paderson is probably dead, or died in his own mansion!

There are too many people involved in the smuggling of the water jade mine this time. If it is exposed, the Debs family will not only lose money, but may be directly ransacked by the angry Clyde!

Bernard supported the wall and quickly denied his thoughts.

No, no, Duke Paterson cannot and will not die.

He is a seventh-level fighter, how could he be killed silently? !

What's more, he is such a cautious person!

No, absolutely not!

Caught in his own self-deception, Bernard frailly walks out of the chamber.

The first test is finally over.

In the end, only six people passed the initial test of the disciples handed down by the high priest, five of them are eighth-level magicians, and one is a seventh-level dual-line magician.

There is no doubt that the seventh-level magician is Dixie.

When the lottery was drawn, Luca walked into the arena holding six lots, and after they all drew lots, they began to announce the number of matches.

The first duel was between the eighth-level magician of the earth system, Anka Kleo, and the eighth-level magician of the water system, Mohu Hilary.

The second match was between the eighth-level magician of the thunder system, Mude Peer, and the eighth-level magician of the light system, Del Madd.

The third match was Dixie Lane, a level-[-] dual-element magician, against Padger Shudek, a level-[-] fire magician.

Padger is nearly 1.8 meters tall, has black hair, and small but bright eyes. After learning that he was competing with Dixie, he just stood there with a smile and stared at Dixie for a long time.

"Please come to the Temple of Life on time at nine o'clock in the morning in a week's time. Overdue will be regarded as abstention." Luca left after announcing.

"Padge, it seems that I have to have a contest with you." Mud, who was wearing a green robe, walked to Padge and said.

"Myud, that might be the case."

Del just smiled at Meud's rudeness.

As a magician of the light department, he did not join the Holy See of Light, but he was waiting for the day when he would become a direct disciple of the high priest.He will never give up until the result appears.

Seeing this, Padger joked: "Maybe I will lose to that young man named Dixie, don't jump to conclusions so early. Dixie, you must be merciful when the time comes!"

Padger looked at Dixie with a smile.

Dixie ignored everyone and left alone at a high speed. As soon as he left the Temple of Fate, he cast a flying spell and flew towards the mansion of the Ryan family.

"Isn't it just winning an eighth-level earth magician? This is starting to be arrogant." Miao De coldly snorted.

In his opinion, all five of them will solve the eighth-level earth magician faster.

At this time, Dixie had been away from home for three days.

"Master Dixie, the patriarch is waiting for you in the study."

As soon as he arrived at the gate, the servant happily walked up to Dixie and said respectfully.

Dixie nodded and walked towards the study.

Knocking on the door and walking into the study, Dai Ya, the patriarch of the Ryan family, was sitting on the sofa reading a thick bronzing book.Seeing Dixie walk in, he raised his head: "Dixie, what's the result of the game?"

"The second competition will be held in a week." Dixie said, sitting on the sofa opposite his father.

"Compared to whom?" Dai Ya asked with a smile.

"A level eight fire magician." Dixie said indifferently.

"A level eight fire magician? It is said that the single-target attack of the fire system is the strongest. Are you sure you can beat him?" Dai Ya asked.

Although dual-line magicians have a slight advantage over single-line magicians, it is very difficult for Dixie to win when the opponent is one level higher than Dixie and is still the main attacker.

"I will become the high priest's direct disciple." Dixie said calmly.

In his opinion, it doesn't make much difference who to compete with.

All Dixie had to do was beat that guy and qualify for the final two fights.

Seeing Dixie's self-confidence, Dai Ya was very satisfied, and praised: "As the future patriarch of the Ryan family, you must have such courage!"

"I'm going to practice now, goodbye, father." After finishing speaking, Dixie stood up and started to leave.

"Your mother is very worried that you will be injured in the competition. Go and report to her before practicing." Recalling his wife who still blamed him for letting Dixie participate in the competition this morning, Daya said this.

"I see, Father." Dixie walked out of the study and walked to the flower bed outside the parents' room.

Usually at this time, my mother would sit at the stone table not far from the flower bed and read a book.

Sure enough, his mother was there.

At this time, Diana was all focused on Dixie, frowning, worried that Dixie would be injured in the competition.The open book has been on the table for a long time, and only three or four pages have been turned.

"Mother." Seeing Diana's gentle smile when she saw her, Dixie smiled heartily.

"You're back. You're not injured. How was the result of the competition?" Diana asked eagerly, holding Dixie's hand.

"If I had been seriously injured, I wouldn't have come to see you right now," Dixie said.

"So, you were slightly injured, isn't it serious?" Diana asked worriedly.

It is true that Dixie suffered some minor injuries during the competition, but after his own treatment, those stab wounds were good and even the wounds could not be found.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Dixie smiled.

"By the way, the lady of the Huashi family is at home right now, do you want to meet her?" Diana said quietly.

Is this to introduce him to a date? !

"Mom, I'm only 17," Dixie said with a frown.

"I know that if you practice water magic, you can live to be three or four hundred years old even if you don't have any achievements. You don't have to decide on a partner so early. But, that lady..." Diana hesitated.

"But what?" Dixie asked.

"She wanted to ask something about your good brother, Linley Baruch." Diana said.

"The Huashi family is a big family in the Yulan Empire. Will she marry an important figure of the Holy Alliance?" Dixie asked rhetorically.

In his opinion, Linley, whose strength has grown by leaps and bounds, will become an indispensable member of the Holy Alliance in just a few years.

"Dixie, are you being too sensitive? She's just interested in Linley's affairs, and she didn't show that she likes it."

"Mother, I have a competition in a week. Before that, I have to practice seriously, and I don't have much time to tell her stories." Dixie said without changing his expression, "I'm leaving now."

"Okay, then we can only wait for Delia to come back and tell her." Diana said.

Dixie paused slightly, then left.
