Normally, it would be enough for Claire to challenge him. He is a powerhouse of the eighth rank, and even if he looks at the entire Silval, he has almost no opponents. But on the one hand, Yeledo wants to use this method to Beat and beat Fiya, tell her not to be too presumptuous, she is her own daughter, she can't do whatever she wants, and then try to see how strong Claire is, if she is too weak and unwilling to accept rigorous training, she will become If he is strong, then even if Fiya shields her, he must ask her to leave from the perspective of his father.
On the other hand, because of Claire's own considerations, the upper nobles of the empire are not like ordinary civilians, they do not approve of same-sex marriages, and in comparison, they are like those masculine male nobles among human beings. You can act masculine, but you must never say it on the table.Even if Fia becomes the queen, the nobles of the family will definitely say that Claire is not worthy of being a queen, and if Claire really has the courage to confront her one-on-one, it will be enough to seal the mouths of many people.
There is only one person in a hundred who dares to raise his head to stand in front of the king, and there is only one person in a million who dares to stand on the stage with himself, a quasi-eighth-level powerhouse. Even if he loses, it is a commendable failure.
But what surprised Yeledo was that when he brought up the phrase of going to the training ground, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird. Claire's girl, those clear green eyes already had some feelings of surprise and joy.
Gladly?This is too conceited.
"Come with me if you have the guts."
"Wait, you haven't said what will happen to you if I win."
"If you win me, I will allow you to be with Dophy," Yeledo paused, and then added in a low tone, "But if you lose, leave here immediately."
If Claire performed well, Yeledo would not really drive Claire away even if he lost. The reason why he said it so seriously was just to show his generosity when he "forgiven" Claire later.
Without further words, Yeledo opened the door and left straight away. Liti, who was eavesdropping at the door, quickly pretended to be passing by by chance, and hurriedly walked away.
In the room with the door wide open, only the three of Fia were left.
"Claire..."
Not knowing what to say, Fia stepped forward to catch up with Claire, her expression was full of embarrassment, she was supposed to be confronting her father, but Claire stood up and helped her finish the sentence, and she did nothing help.
"It's nothing."
The silver-haired Claire turned around, the awe-inspiring just now was completely gone, replaced by a reassuring wry smile, she patted Fia's head, and her tone was slightly smiling.
"Don't show this expression that seems to be owed, this is what I should do. If I have to hide behind Fia at this time, I am not qualified to be with Fia. As far as the result is concerned, this is not quite Okay? Just meeting the challenge can solve the problem, which is simpler and more direct than communicating slowly.”
Speaking of this, Claire pinched Fia's worried face lightly, and the wry smile on her expression turned into a delicate smile.
"Or does it mean that little Fiya thinks I can't beat your father?"
At this time, she still said "your father", but Fia didn't express what she wanted in her heart, and she held Claire's hand back.
"I'm not worried that Claire won't win..."
"Then it's no problem, okay, let's go first, and Anastasia will come with me, shall we?"
"Yes……"
With a look of hesitation, Anastasia, who wanted to say something, finally closed her mouth and nodded to follow.
◇
Under the eyes of many nobles, imperial guards and servants, Yeledo, who is the king of the elves, took Fia and Claire to the training ground. Since Yelido did not go to the audience hall where the morning meeting was held, those half The nobles who saw Yeledo were full of curiosity and followed Yeledo far away, wanting to know what happened to Yeledo who was full of anger.
Yeledo didn't say much about this, and soon he stood in the middle of the open-air training ground with Claire as he did when Fia faced Graian. As for Fia and Anastasia, he ordered Go to the auditorium.
Dophy probably knew that this was a duel between men (if Claire was regarded as a son-in-law), so he didn't get involved. This girl named Claire did not continue to use Dophy as a shield, which is commendable.
Feeling admiration in his heart, Yeledo looked at Claire who was a few steps away from the gloomy sky. He had to admit that Fia had found a pretty woman, even though Yeledo and Claire had almost no relationship. A friendly conversation, but he could tell from Claire's gentle facial features and the soft lines of her body that Claire was a gentle woman and would not give Fia a problem.
It is really embarrassing for such a gentle woman to stand up to a duel with him.
Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction in Yeledo's heart decreased a bit, and he looked at Claire who was empty-handed.
"Do you have no weapons, or do you actually have no fighting ability? If you don't have fighting ability, it's too late to regret it now. I can allow you to become Dophy's concubine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but I am not incapable of fighting. Before we start, I have something to say."
While speaking, two colors, one red and one black, gathered in Claire's hands with her arms hanging down naturally, and Yeledo could vaguely see that they were two one-handed swords.
Instead of taking out weapons from storage items, but relying on magic power to condense weapons?But this is clearly not the enchanted blade.Yeledo was sure that in all his long life he had never seen such magic.
With the gradual formation of the weapon, Claire's power is also increasing rapidly. If Claire was like an ordinary person without magic power a moment ago, the feeling that Claire gave Yeledo now is like mobilizing the magic power of the whole body A great demon ready to fight with all his might.
Claire continued to speak unhurriedly.
"We prohibit each other from using magic that hurts us. Fia doesn't want us to get hurt. Your Majesty is a sensible person, so he should agree?"
"……Um."
Without answering, Yeledo just nodded and made a low voice with his throat. At this moment, Claire had already made him feel the pressure, and he knew that he underestimated Claire too much.
There are two strokes.
Until the two swords in Claire's hands, one black and one red, were completely condensed and formed, Yeledo was already sure that Claire was not weaker than him, and at least had the strength of the seventh level.
He stopped being careless, gripped the spear with both hands, and slightly bent his knees to lower his center of gravity.
"Can we start?"
"You can start anytime."
"Then come and see how strong you are!"
Almost at the same time as the words were spoken, Yeledo went straight to chase after Claire, the force of his feet stomping on the ground was so great that the ground even cracked and exploded.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp spear in Yeledo's hand arrived in front of Claire. Even without using magic, this tentative blow was enough to penetrate the city wall, but just as Yeledo guessed, Claire's strength Not weaker than him, Claire only met his thrust with the blood-red sword in his left hand, and then he felt a huge force from the spear like a dragon swinging its claws with all its strength, and the barrel of the spear was restrained uncontrollably. Leia provoked forcefully.
Followed by the pursuit of Claire's right hand weapon.
With just one hand, she could fly her own spurs, Claire was definitely not human.
Yeledo realized this in an instant, and he immediately exerted force on the spear, borrowing the weapon's reaction force to dodge Claire's stabbing attack on his chest, but before he could move away from Claire, he felt a tightness in his left thigh, as if Something tripped him, not only that, he felt the blood-red long sword in contact with the spear as if it had turned into a vortex devouring magic power, and began to crazily absorb his magic power.
The protection "Crisis Awareness" brought by the holy tree sounded the alarm, and a bad feeling invaded Yeledo's heart, and he chanted it in a low voice without hesitation.
"—"Space Shock"."
Like throwing a boulder into a deep pool, the space around Yeledo fluctuated like the surface of water, but this not only did not make the "crisis awareness" in his heart smaller, on the contrary, the "crisis awareness" became more obvious, even to the point where his heart Missing a beat, this level of "Crisis Awareness" is already equated with injury.
It must be too late.
In the blink of an eye, he didn't even have time to check what happened. His fighting instinct made him resolutely stop avoiding, and instead chose to attack against attack.
"—"Triple booby trap"!"
The sound of rapidly expanding arcs and the smell of ozone quickly filled Yeledo's sense of hearing and smell. At the same time, three pitch-black thunderballs that were about the size of an earth dragon unsteadily unfolded around him, and he quickly added defensive magic to himself. To avoid being dragged into it, in the next second, three huge explosions resounded through the field.
However, before the smoke and dust in the sky cleared, Yeledo felt his world spinning for a while, and the pulling sensation from his left leg became more obvious, and even brought his whole body straight to the ground. He wanted to use magic to reverse the situation, but he He had just used the magic power in his body, and another sense of crisis that seemed to threaten his life surged into his heart. It seemed that at this moment, as long as he used the magic power, he would usher in the end.
"Crisis Awareness" had saved his life countless times, and he would not believe the premonition that "Crisis Awareness" brought him. He gave up using magic and stabbed the ground with a spear instead, trying to stabilize his figure, but almost At the same time, another incomparably huge force slammed into his back heavily. This force caused him to lose his balance, so that his entire body flew horizontally for a certain distance.
How many people are my opponents? !
Yeliduo's heart trembled, and at the same time, with a loud bang, the earth trembled violently.
Yeledo fell to the ground with his chest facing down. Of course, this did not mean that the battle was over. Yeledo subconsciously wanted to get up from the black smoke, but what greeted him was the cold sword hilt on his neck and the thorns on his neck. The large knight spear on the spine, as long as he moves a little, attacks from the front and back will fall on him.
"It's over, Your Majesty. You are the quasi-eighth rank, and my strength is above the eighth rank. You lose because you underestimate the enemy."
As the black smoke gradually dissipated, Claire, who looked like a demon with black horns and tail, appeared proudly in front of Yeledo. Unlike the stunned Yeledo, Claire had a pretty smile on her pretty face.
Chapter 70 Things That Quietly Change
"This is Miss Claire's strength..."
Anastasia, who was sitting in the auditorium, stood up unknowingly due to being too shocked.
Although she has seen the appearance of Claire destroying the unsinkable moon, the curse of forgetting has already made her forget how Claire destroyed the unsinkable moon. Her impression is only that "Claire destroyed the unsinkable moon." With regard to the matter of "the Moon", Anastasia only had a vague concept in her mind about how strong Claire was.
Now Claire defeated Yeledo in just a few short breaths. On the one hand, she felt that Claire was very strong, and on the other hand, because it was incredible, she couldn't help but think that the Elf King didn't use all his strength at all.
She looked back at Fiya who also got up from the auditorium, her blue eyes that seemed to be talking were full of disbelief.
"How could His Majesty lose like this... What kind of magic is that knight?"
"Claire has been better than her father from the very beginning, and it is reasonable to win, well, although I also think the process is too fast."
Anastasia didn't see clearly what happened in the black smoke, but Fia saw it very clearly with "Exploring Wind". The magic power contained in Claire's two swords alone was more than that of Yeledo himself. .
The two swords with different colors obviously contained special magic. The blood-red one-handed sword can absorb the magic power of those who come into contact with it, while the black long sword covered with dark blue patterns has no function. Fia only saw Claire swinging the sword at Yeledo Before the sword hit Yeledo, Yeledo's left leg was injured, and after a while, the black sword sank into Yeledo's left leg, causing Yeledo to hit the ground.
During this process, Claire also added two spells, one is the "knight" that Anastasia called, a [-]-meter-tall knight in silver plate armor holding a huge knight spear, Another kind of magic, Fia, didn't know its effect either. She just saw Claire using magic on Yelido, but the magic didn't show any aggressiveness.
Although the magic used by Claire does not belong to the system of the World Tree Continent, Fia can classify the magic used by Claire according to the power of the magic. The magic power possessed by this knight alone has reached the sixth rank. , indicating that this is at least the sixth level of summoning magic, like "puppet creation".
My father lost too much.
Fia couldn't help but think that Yeli Duo was so big, he didn't apply strengthening magic in advance, and used long-range magic to test Claire's power and rushed straight there, so she was defeated by Claire who put out all her strength as soon as she came up, yeah Lido has a wide variety of protections. Normally, even if he can't change the outcome of the defeat, he won't lose so quickly.
As for why Claire used all her strength when she came up, the answer is very simple. Even Claire, who took out the two accompanying weapons and increased the upper limit of "recoverable magic power", still showed horns and tails similar to demons. , and Claire will only show this appearance when she uses the "non-recoverable magic power".
Of course, it may also be that Claire wants to show a different appearance from humans and change the stereotype of "humans", so she uses so much magic power.
Fortunately, I thought that Yeledo would lose in advance, and before entering the training ground, I specially asked the guards to stop the nobles who wanted to watch the excitement, otherwise the scene of Yeledo's tragic loss will definitely be caught by the nobles.Although the duel was brought up by the father first, and he had nothing to say if he lost, but as a daughter, he still had to save some face for his father—Fia was not completely ignorant of the world.
As for the explanation to the nobles, as long as Claire's eighth-level power is disclosed, there should be no problem.
I hope that my father who knows how to reflect on himself will not regret it after losing.
"Anastasia, let's go."
"Yes."
Thinking of this in her heart, Fiya easily climbed over the railing and jumped into the training ground below.
……
"Are you... a devil?"
After Claire dispelled the "living armor" and removed the hilt, Yeledo who stood up from the ground frowned.
As long as Claire is good enough, he can recognize even human beings. However, if Claire is a demon, things will become more subtle. Darkborn are the enemies of the whole continent, and they have caused a lot of harm to all races. , including the elven holy son who transitioned the elven race from a tribe to a country, also died of an illness left behind by fighting the dark descendants.
"I don't know what I am, but I'm definitely not a demon. Although I have demon-like horns and a tail, I don't have demon wings. I have asked the demons in the darkin camp in the past, and they don't recognize me as theirs." a member."
"I actually went to the camp of the dark descendants..."
"The dark descendants are not all monsters who attack people when they disagree with each other. Compared with this, wouldn't your majesty treat the wound on his leg first?"
Claire's eyes fell on Yeledo's left leg, where the cloth was already stained red with blood.Even though Yeledo is Fia's father, it is inevitable to get hurt when discussing this kind of thing. At their level, as long as they don't stab the vitals, healing magic can quickly heal the injury.
After being reminded by Claire, Yeledo realized that his left leg was injured. He took out a bottle of life recovery medicine from the storage item and sprinkled it on his leg. He was silent for a moment.
"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Although I didn't use all my strength, losing is losing. I recognize your strength and courage, but it doesn't mean I recognize your character. Everything needs to be reconsidered."
He obviously said that if Claire wins, he will allow Claire and Dophy to be together, but now he said something that needs to be considered later, Yeledo couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable with his old face, he paused for a moment, hearing whether Claire After refuting, he continued to speak sternly.
"I allow you to continue living in Dophy's palace, but Dophy has not yet reached the adult age of a hundred years in the elves, so there are some things that should not be overstepped. After the official wedding is held, you can do whatever you want. And , Dophy is the elf queen who will take over my position, once you announce your relationship to the nobles, you must pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, so as not to embarrass Fia."
Fia's father is not a difficult person to talk about. Claire can hear the acquiescence in Yeledo's words, but the gentle face is a little subtle, and he becomes embarrassed to look directly at Yeledo. Yeledo said " "Don't exceed the rules" definitely means not to develop physical intimacy before marriage, but I and Fia have already...
It's really shameful to say it, I and Fia have already crossed the line, although Fia was the first to push myself on the bed and asked if I could, but if I didn't wrap my tail around Fia's hand, Acting as if he was trying to seduce Fia, maybe things won't develop to that point...
Too bad for being a sister!
Thinking this way in her heart, Claire pretended that nothing happened on the surface. She didn't want Yeledo to know that she had stolen his daughter long ago. Bow down and salute.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
His Majesty?
Yeledo raised an eyebrow.
Hmm... It's okay to call him His Majesty now, Jelidor thought.Perhaps it was because Claire was a woman rather than a man, the annoyance that "Dofy was snatched away" in his heart was not as strong as imagined.
This is a good thing.
Yeledo sighed in his heart. Dophy is his daughter, not Veronica. She will marry someone one day. Yeledo, who comforted him like this, put away his spear and stood up straight. He was not in a bad mood anymore. Looking at Claire, you can go back and say that you can go back to ask about Claire's details. Right now, it is more important to welcome the daughter who is running towards him. Weird smile.
◇
Bright and luxurious interior.
It is located within the largest casino in Blossom.
Except for theocratic countries like the Holy Nation of Milkandis, most countries on the World Tree continent do not prohibit gambling, but there are differences in some minor details according to the customs and the preferences of the leaders.
Take Shiliwal as an example. Shiliwal only allows people to play in officially licensed casinos. If you open a casino privately, you will be punished with a heavy penalty equivalent to smuggling narcotics. Slavery and even the death penalty.
And casinos are inherently bound to huge profits. When the local lords have the right to operate licenses, those who can open casinos are basically related to the local lords (that is, big nobles). It is hard to imagine how powerful the behind-the-scenes boss is. You know, this place is under the feet of the emperor.
In fact, to this day, who is the owner of the largest casino in Blossom is still a topic of great interest.
Only a few people know the answer, it is a mysterious existence named Thanatos whose origin cannot be investigated.
Now, about a dozen luxuriously dressed men and women are sitting around the table, most of them are elves, and a few of them are lion-headed orcs and humans. Everyone wears countless precious metal ornaments, and the materials and styles of the clothes are all of the highest level. Most people's body shape can be described as obesity. Obesity can be regarded as a representative of status in World Tree Continent. If you don't have enough financial resources, it is impossible Have a fat body.
They are all slave traders on the royal land, just like casinos, as long as they are slave traders approved by the empire, they can trade slaves in the territory of Silval.These slave traders, who were regarded as top snakes in their respective territories, looked at the girl with long red hair standing at the top of the table like students who were concentrating on their lectures.
