She Is Not a Witch Chapter 45: Duel gunshots

The tense duel unfolded in the hall. Some people looked forward to it, some gloated, some whispered, and there were all kinds of expressions.

"Drink!"

In the arena, Jihasen took the lead in the attack. He pulled out a sharp saber, kicked his feet, and quickly approached the opponent like a snake. The light of the knife danced like a phantom in the eyes of ordinary people, passing the sharp cold light.

On the other side, Fenbull was a little flustered, and was slashed by the light of the knife several times. Fortunately, the expensive armor prevented him from being seriously injured and fell to the ground immediately, leaving behind a few long and narrow sparks. scratches.

Watching the two keep walking and then confronting each other, the nobles in the hall were like spectators at the Colosseum, shouting the names of both parties excitedly.

"Come on, Finble, kill him!"

"He can't pierce your armor, coward!"

"Prick him in the face so he won't be able to see anyone again, Jihassen."

Compared to the two people in the arena, these people around are more fanatical.

Lorraine Hill, who was sitting outside the hall, watched this scene and shook her head secretly. This duel looked like a farce in her eyes, and the strength of both sides was equally matched.

Jihasen has the strength of War Sequence 6, which is obviously stronger than Fenbull of Natural Sequence 5, but Fenbull's luxurious extraordinary equipment has supported him. Unfortunately, if time drags on, Jihasen will find out sooner or later. flaw.

Although in the eyes of the girl, such a duel is like pecking at each other, and it is far inferior to the rivalry among the Eastern School, but it is different for the audience present. They have not seen such a high-level duel for a long time.

"Both of them are talented juniors I am familiar with. I don't know which Miss Lacey thinks will win." While the girl was thinking, Earl Howard on the side began to talk.

"I don't know, I can't see it." Lorraine Hill blinked slightly and said something against his will.

"Haha, it's normal for girls not to understand this. My daughter is also like this. She is more concerned about the latest fashion trends on weekdays. She said that fighting and killing are men's business..." Howard shook his glass and said casually talking about his family.

"Oh, yes, I don't know where Miss Lacey's hometown is. It should be a beautiful and gentle place to raise a good child like you." Slowly, Howard and Lorraine Hill talked , as if she has become an elder who cares about her, kind and talkative.

"My hometown is in a small remote province in the southern part of the empire. Because my father was busy with the Chamber of Commerce all year round, I lived with my mother in a castle in the mountains when I was a child, and had little contact with the outside world." The girl said, preparing in advance. good identity.

"That's not bad. In fact, if you get in touch with various circles of the outside world too early, you can easily be led astray." Earl Howard shook his head slightly as he said, as if thinking of something.

Bang——

Just as the two were talking, a gunshot exploded in the arena.

In the crowd watching, Jihasen fell to his knees while clutching his chest, while Fenbull was holding a smoking luxury short gun with exquisite patterns carved on it, which looked like a boutique custom-made by the nobles

"Despicable!"

"This is simply a disgrace." Many people on the side pointed at Fember and cursed angrily.

It turned out that during the duel, Fimbull took out an alchemy gun from his arms when Jihasen was not paying attention, and fired directly at close range. Caught off guard, Jihasen was shot and fell to the ground.

Facing the accusations and contempt of the opponent's faction, Fenbull was also a little resentful. He didn't even think about taking out this custom-made short gun magic crystal gun, but seeing that he was suppressed, he was about to lose. , I couldn't help it, and finally took it out.

Looking at their companions standing there without saying a word, the companions behind Fenbull couldn't stand anymore. They stepped forward and stopped Fenbull in front of him.

"Who said that muskets cannot be used in duels? Guns are weapons like swords. I have never seen a duel where weapons are not allowed."

"That's right, a duel is like a battlefield, so why don't you just throw in the towel and die?"

"But, it's not fair!" an acquaintance of Jihasen slowly helped him up, retorting angrily.

"Fairness? Heh, what kind of fairness do you want, give up your strengths and use your weaknesses to fight with you?"

"Don't think that you feel good about yourself because you have won a few times on the battlefield. Your family has only been passed down for a few years? And we have been bleeding and fighting for this country since the establishment of the empire."

"Bullshit, can that be called struggle? It's just lying on it and sucking blood!" A nobleman who was born as a low-level officer couldn't bear it any longer, and smashed the cup in his hand on the ground.

"I fought for His Majesty the Emperor and expanded the territory for the country. How many times did I go through life and death in the middle to get to what I am today. Why is it not more noble than you 'white bread'!"

'White Bread' is what the newly promoted military nobles privately call those old nobles. It means that these people wear white powder all the year round, their complexion is pale, their bodies are fat and fat, and they are particularly 'soft' and have no masculinity. .

"You uneducated 'cheesy dog'!" After hearing White Bread's insulting name, several young people from one side's veteran nobles also burst into anger, shouting and cursing, and the two sides chattered frequently.

"Ahem, everyone be quiet." Seeing this scene, Earl Howard finally couldn't bear it anymore. After all, he is the host, and it would be the most embarrassing for him to spread such a scene.

"Everyone, please maintain the elegance that a gentleman should have." After Howard spoke, the two sides who were almost fighting on the court gradually eased up.

No matter what, the earl has a noble status, and everyone will still care about it, and dare not contradict and offend at such a time.

Seeing that the hall had settled down, the Earl clapped his hands again, signaling to the musicians beside him, "Continue playing."

Afterwards, he turned around.

"I'm really sorry that I surprised Miss Lacey. The young people present today went too far."

Seeing this, Lorraine Hill couldn't sit still, and then got up, saying that he didn't care, and hoped that everyone would not pay too much attention to himself~IndoMTL.com~ After that, the hall resumed the previous scene , Some little nobles entered the dance floor to dance with interest, as a foil for the crowd, to ease the atmosphere, and the scene gradually became peaceful and soothing.

As the earl's mansion, there are naturally healing supernatural beings on standby all year round. After some treatment and treatment, Jihasen came back from the side with a slightly pale face, accompanied by a few friends.

Seeing that he still wanted to approach Lorraine Hill and say a few words, Earl Howard waved his hand in a subtle way, and then several waiters followed quietly, leading Jihasen and the others to the other side of the banquet. Then let them leave gradually.

Sitting at the table again, Earl Howard said slowly to the girl who looked like a rose and a white moon: "I made Miss Lacey laugh today. It's because of my poor hospitality as the host."

"I don't know if Miss Lacey will have time in the future, I asked my wife to invite you to a small private party at my home."

"Please don't worry, there will be no rude people to disturb you this time, and there are only a few noble and unmarried ladies in the imperial capital present. Presumably, Miss Lacey will feel much more relaxed and interesting when she is with her peers." He extended the invitation again.

"Lord Howard's invitation, Lacey will come naturally. I'm just curious. I didn't have much contact with the circle of nobles before. I also want to know how everyone lives on weekdays."

"Haha, niece Lacey was joking. In fact, life among nobles is not as interesting as outsiders think. After a long time, you will feel empty and boring."

"This is also the reason why everyone has various hobbies, and they always want to pass some time. For example, I like to invite everyone to gather together. Watching the lively scenes, I don't feel lonely."

Hearing this, the girl nodded slightly. Perhaps that was the closest thing Earl Howard said to his heart tonight.
