Chapter 9 Is this a magician?
"Boy, I admit that your swordsmanship is pretty good, but you are just a mage."
"A truly powerful weapon will only follow a powerful warrior! Not a pampered noble mage."
The old man who called himself Jacquin sneered disdainfully.
The blacksmith apprentices around him also showed strange expressions.
Facing Jacqueen's ridicule, Lear was not angry, but laughed, "How do you know that a spoiled wizard can't become a powerful warrior?"
Jacqueline shook his head, dismissing Lear's words.
What kind of profession is a mage? All you have to do is stand at a distance and cast spells. You don't have to fight like the professions under the law of war. It's the style that those noble lords like.
In addition, mages need to learn profound spell theories and spell runes, which makes this a profession tailor-made for those nobles who think they are superior.
Mysterious and elegant, these are synonymous with the mage.
It is precisely because of these reasons that when the arcane law was introduced to the Kingdom of Brefil, it quickly attracted the attention of a large number of nobles.
The laws of war are also gradually declining under the impact of the laws of arcane.
Jacqueline looked at Lear, the heir to the Stuart family, who had also abandoned the war knight and chose to become a wizard.
In his view, this was a betrayal of the laws of war! He would not allow his heirloom to fall into the hands of such a person.
"Hmm..." Li Er tapped lightly on the hilt of the sword in his hand. He didn't know how the player in his previous life got this extraordinary weapon.
However, since the other party was able to get it, it means that this extraordinary weapon has a corresponding task.
He raised his head and said to Jacqueline after careful consideration: "Since you think I am not worthy of the strongest weapon you have here, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"I see that you are also a professional, probably at the intermediate level? Let's have a competition. I won't use any spells, just a pure battle skill competition. If I win, you will give me the best weapon you have. How about that?"
After Lear finished speaking, Jacqueline was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon his expression turned gloomy, "Are you humiliating me?"
"How could that be? I just made a reasonable request. You said that powerful weapons will only follow powerful warriors. Although I am a mage, I think I am also a powerful warrior." Li Er shrugged.
"Besides, I don't know how to use my magic skills, which should be an advantage for you."
"A wizard who doesn't use spells wants to defeat me?" Jacqueline felt that he was underestimated. He stood up from his chair in an instant, his face flushed red.
"Yeah, a wizard who doesn't use spells wants to beat you, do you want to compete? If you don't think you are sure, you can just pretend I never said these words." Li Er looked at Jacqueline with a smile, not caring about the other's anger at all.
That indifferent attitude obviously made Jacqueline even more angry. The old man slammed the table and said viciously:
"Boy, you asked for this! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"
"So you accepted my invitation to duel? Then if I win, the most powerful weapon you have here will be mine."
"If you can really defeat me without using any magic, what if I give you the Night Rose?"
"So it's called Night Rose? Not a bad name." Lear chuckled with interest.
Seeing that Li Er had already taken the Night Rose, Jacqueen became even more angry. "Boy, don't be so arrogant before the fight. I took out the Night Rose as a bet. It is an extraordinary weapon. What can you take out?"
Lear raised his eyebrows. He had never thought about this question before. Using money as a bet?
The value of an extraordinary weapon is immeasurable. With the money he has at his disposal now, he won't be able to come up with coins of equivalent value even if he empties it out.
He was a little distressed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'll use a promise from the Stuart family as a bet. If you can accept it, then the duel will continue."
It was the only comparable bet he could think of.
As an ancient family of war knights and dukes and nobles of the kingdom, the Stuart family's promise can be said to be quite weighty.
"Can you represent Stuart?"
"I am my father's only son."
…
[Trigger Mission: Arrogant Showdown (C-Rank)]
[You challenged Jacqueen to a duel, and defeated a mid-level berserker without using any spells. I have to say that this behavior was reckless and arrogant.]
[Task Reward: 50,000 Experience Points, Night Rose (Extraordinary)]
[Penalty for failure: a promise from the Stuart family]
Sure enough, inheriting the player's panel will naturally trigger the game tasks.
Looking at the system panel that popped up in front of him, Li Er's eyes flickered slightly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He closed the panel and followed Jacqueen to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.
The storefront doesn't look big from the outside, but the backyard is actually quite large, with all kinds of weapons displayed on one side.
Jacquin called out to Lear, "Pick any weapon over there. It's fair that we use weapons of the same quality."
Li Er nodded slightly and drew out a long sword.
Primary weapon, increases attack strength by 10 points, no other attributes.
"Boy, it's not too late for you to regret now, otherwise I will beat you up severely when the fight starts!" Jacqueline took out a big hammer and looked at him fiercely.
Li Er did not speak, but just stood there quietly. The opponent was a mid-level berserker, a branch profession under the Law of War, known for its violent power. Normally, it would tend to add points to strength and physique, and its shortcoming was lack of agility.
He doesn't have any skills other than spells, and the only way he can win the duel without using spells is to take advantage of his speed.
His eyes became deep, and he held the sword in front of him, feeling all the energy fluctuations in his body.
Since he could gain the extraordinary sword proficiency of his previous life when he got the long sword, the sword skills that had already been ingrained in his bones would naturally awaken in his new body.
[You have acquired the skill - Aslan Royal Swordsmanship (Legend)]
A smile appeared on Lear's lips, and the next second his figure disappeared from the spot.
Before Jacqueline, who was standing opposite, could react, Lear came in front of him and chopped him on the head with his sword.
Shocked by Lear's speed, Jacqueen quickly raised his hammer to defend himself.
Boom! With a loud bang, Jacqueen flew backwards. An irresistible force came from the hammer, leaving him completely powerless to defend himself.
He flew backwards until he reached the courtyard wall not far away and knocked it down. Jacqueline was still somewhat unconscious, and most of his life was gone.
His strength attribute is 50 points, but facing Lear's sword it was like being hit by a giant beast.
Is this the power a wizard should have? Li Er stood where Jacqueen had just stood, his sword still erected in front of him, like an elegant gentleman.
