Chapter 290: Black Rose Gun

Ballroom.

The band's performance suddenly stopped.

Everyone instinctively looked at the castle owner.

The Duke slowly stood up and said in a solemn voice: "Welcome everyone to Fort Djork to attend the wedding of my youngest son."

"Not long ago, our great king allocated two large colonies to the Wyatt family of the Bourbon Kingdom in a manner close to a gift."

"And in that land flowing with milk and honey, your blood and my blood also flowed. My third child was left there forever and was brutally killed by the natives."

"The king has been bewitched by evil men."

"But we are willing to follow the chivalrous virtue of sacrifice and be loyal to the Stuart Kingdom."

"Brownie D'York will marry Lucy Wyatt today. Please forgive me for being in so much pain that I cannot send my blessing to the newlyweds."

"The wedding, let's begin."

As the Duke sat down, the chaotic nobles made way for him, and some of them covered the eyes of young children.

Young Brownie walked through the crowd and came to the girl in the blue dress. The personal maids became extremely nervous, and the older maid in charge protected the young lady behind her.

There was genuine regret on Brownie's face. Although this young lady was an illegitimate child, she was extremely beautiful.

Unfortunately, some things cannot be shaken by victims.

puff!

The ceremonial sword will teach the maid to behead.

Heads fell to the ground, the personal maids burst into screams, the girl in the blue skirt wanted to escape, but the chaotic nobles blocked her in the corner of death like a city wall.

Brownie grabbed the girl's long hair and lifted it up. Regardless of her fierce struggle, he raised his head and shouted:

"I disagree!"

"I will never agree with any behavior that harms the interests of the Land of Chaos!"

"I will never accept humiliation from the Wyatt Family!"

"I will never be led to death by the treacherous villain who bewitched the king!"

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

The nobles watched the performance of the duke's youngest son. When little Earl de York did not show up, everyone knew who the protagonist of the day was. This wedding was the prelude to the war.

On the big chair, the Duke asked seriously: "Since you are unwilling, are you ready to take responsibility?"

"Yes, father." Brownie answered in a sonorous voice: "Every noble present here has invested their hard work in the colony. When we stand together, we are unbreakable. The Wyatt family stole our hard work, so we must pay it back with blood."

The sword cut into the girl's swan-like neck.

Suddenly, a roar was heard.

"stop!"

A handsome young man in armor broke into the banquet hall.

"Lore."

Lucy, the girl in the blue dress, had tears in her eyes, as if she had seen the savior.

"I challenge you to an honorable duel," the young Lore shouted. "You are planning to start a war, but if you don't even dare to duel, you'd better get out of here!"

The Duke frowned slightly.

The appearance of the young man caused a lot of discussion among the nobles.

Lor is the Duke's youngest illegitimate son. According to the Inheritance Law, he has no power or wealth to inherit, but he is the Duke's bloodline after all, and he became an apprentice knight at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Although he is far inferior to Roland, he can barely be said to have some talent.

The biggest problem at the moment is that Brownie is just an apprentice knight. If he loses in an honorable duel, he will never be able to pick up a weapon again. The Duke will simply give up on him, after all, he has several sons waiting in line.

After a brief silence.

Bronny plans to give it a try. He has received all kinds of teachings from his father in the past six months and he will never lose.

But the next moment, the Duke spoke directly. The power of fate had some influence on him, but not to the extent of overriding his reason.

"I remember I just taught you to distinguish your enemies."

Brownie was shocked, and his awe for his father made him raise his sword and cut down a beautiful head, which rolled to the ground. A glorious duel and a sacrifice were two different things, and there was no necessary connection between them.

"No!" Lor's eyes were bloodshot and he fell to his knees weakly.

Brownie seemed to have regained his wits and said, "Knights can fight for the Lord. I have a Baron's Order and a bottle of purification potion here. I wonder if Lord Rhine can be of service."

The rule that knights can duel on behalf of feudal lords was promoted generation after generation by powerful people in history who did not have the qualifications to practice knighthood.

Among the crowd, Jiang He looked at the Duke.

The Golden Will transmitted the message from a high position, and even the Earl of Rock could not detect it.

"How about a set of Great Knight Construct Armor? I was planning to give it to you, but he can't die."

"I hate it when someone interrupts a wedding."

Jiang He came to the center of the banquet hall and took away the enthronement order and potion. The former was located on the dark sand beach fifty miles north of the prosperous port.

Brownie bowed slightly to show his gratitude, stepped aside, and looked at Lor with disgust. This guy's mother was said to be an elf from an alien city-state, and seemed to have some background and knew the elf butler, but died accidentally ten years ago. Lor had been eating and drinking for free in the family all these years, and now he actually ran out to destroy family affairs.

"Wait until I defeat your vassals one by one. You can't escape, Brownie." Lor stood up, and his sadness and pain turned into the power of anger.

[Executive reminder: You have encountered the child of destiny]
[Tip: Your title · Enemy of Destiny has been activated. The total damage done by the Child of Destiny to you has been reduced by 10%, and the favorability has been reduced to disgust]
The duel began immediately.

The nobles made way for the central open space.

Roland didn't even look at them and continued chatting with a few chaotic nobles who had fought together in the colony.

Wow!

The moment Lor drew his sword, his hair turned silver-white like the moon and his ears gradually became pointed.

Some nobles could not help but exclaimed: "A royal moon elf from a foreign city-state! How could he have moon elf blood!" "Who is the Duke's lover?"

Different from the White Rose Breathing Technique inherited by the Deyok family, Lor uses the Moon Breathing Technique exclusive to the Moon Elf royal family. The power of the moon symbolizes the soul, and therefore has extra damage to the soul.

Silver light flowed from the sword, and for a moment everyone in the banquet hall was attracted by this dazzling scene. Lor seemed to be dancing, approaching quickly. The swordsmanship of the elven royal family was brilliant and gorgeous. It was both a unique and graceful war dance and a cold and piercing skill.

"Maybe he can really defeat the strong with the weak!" A noble who is a painter was conquered by the beauty of the Moon Breathing Technique.

clang!
It was as if the frame was lost in front of everyone's eyes, and Jiang He disappeared on the spot.

With a slap, the knight's sword shattered, and the dancing Lor was hit by an overloaded truck and flew out like a top. He smashed the load-bearing pillars of the banquet hall and fell into the rubble, bleeding all over his body. If the Duke had not been unwilling to see his illegitimate son die, this blow would have been enough to turn him into ashes.

The battle ended instantly.

Roland chewed on the smoked sausage and said incoherently, "What do you think this guy ate to grow up?"

Several nobles shook their heads. After all, the guy who could kill Silver Sword Rosad must be no simple person.

Jiang He mentioned Lor who was about to lose consciousness, and a heavy gaze came from behind. The Duke was watching the duel.

"Ok?"

Lor tremblingly took out a flintlock from his waist. The bullet was transparent and illusory, and had a special momentum.

boom!
"interesting."

The bullet hit Jiang He, and his soul felt like it was pricked by a needle. The flintlock caused damage to his soul, but the burning embers repaired the damage in an instant.

Snapped!
Jiang He casually threw Lor away from his hand and reached out to take the flintlock. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the description.

[Name: Black Rose]
[Category: Weapons]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect ①: Black Rose——All damage is converted into soul damage, bullets are made of energy, and flight speed is increased by 100%]
[Effect ②: Stage - Improve quality by killing creatures with guns (0/100), up to the upper limit of this world (Golden Ultimate Level)]
[Effect ③: Death Bloom - After reaching the Gold Ultimate level, this gun can activate the Simple Field]
[Note: Special weapon for the great powers/the tenth S-level sea secret treasure in the future (the basic damage of each quality is different)]
"A weapon special to destiny?" Jiang He put away the Black Rose. This gun was a rare and good thing.

Lor fell in a pool of blood, dying. The elf butler came to him in a panic and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not dead.

Brownie came to Jiang He and said with a friendly smile, "Sir Rhine, I promise to help you get the formula of the purification potion within three months. The matter of the golden apple was decided by my elder brother. He regards me as a thorn in his side and accidentally implicated you."

Jiang He had no interest in the pie that was drawn, and just gave the other party a perfunctory response.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all because of my family affairs." The Duke said in a loud voice, "I believe in your determination. From now on, the Northern Fleet will enter a state of combat readiness and set out tomorrow evening. Our target is the southern part of the Bourbon Kingdom, Port Caribib..."

The Duke formally declared war on the Wyatt family on behalf of the De York family. Some people were excited, some were thoughtful, and basically all the chaotic nobles showed great enthusiasm for fighting.

among the crowd.

The noisy sounds in her ears gradually faded away. Olivia looked at the headless body of the girl in the blue dress on the ground. She seemed to see her own future. She and the other party were both prisoners of the family.

……

At night, the castle wedding banquet ended.

The nobles continued to recruit soldiers and expand their strength. In addition to the elite troops in the territory, they also accepted slaves from the Chamber of Commerce, pirates from the tavern, and mercenaries from the North.

The night in the bustling port is still bustling, and the wide streets and ancient buildings present a simple and mysterious atmosphere under the lights. The two banks of the river in the city are brightly lit, and the bridge spans it, and the sculptures on both sides of the bridge are looming in the night.

On the streets, the cobblestone roads reflected the candlelight, the pubs and restaurants were bustling with activity, gentlemen and ladies were enjoying delicious food and drinks, but there were also half-naked beggars kneeling in the corners.

Jiang He walked out of the city. In fact, the preparations for war had begun as early as when the two colonies changed hands. Now it was just a formal declaration of war. The Northland Fleet was one of the three major fleets of the Stuart Kingdom and had the power to declare war independently. The Territory of Dyork encompassed the entire chaotic corridor and could basically be regarded as a principality.

"Rhine, wait a minute."

Roland came running over with a set of white armor.

The cost of the Grand Knight Constructed Armor is fifty times that of the Knight-level armor, which is a full 50,000 gold coins and is priceless.

At the banquet, Jiang He learned from the conversation that the annual income of the Dukedom of York was about two million gold coins, of which three-fifths came from the income from colonies and maritime trade. It was precisely because of such huge profits that the Mad King's behavior was extremely disgusted by the duke and nobles.

"Huh, the armor that the Duke promised you is the same leopard-style armor that I'm wearing." Roland handed it over.

"Who is the commander of this naval battle?" Jiang He put his things away. The Great Knight's Leopard Construct Armor can increase the speed of the silver creatures by 30%. It has an extremely strong level and the combat power is significantly improved.

"Brownie is the nominal commander, but he is actually under the control of Count Rock." Roland whispered, "Now the nobles all think that you are a member of his faction. The Duke seems to want me to participate as well. In this naval battle, my third-level ship, the Chanter, needs to protect Brownie's safety."

Jiang He nodded, said goodbye to the other party and left.

All the way out of the city and back to the Saint Lilith, A Da and A Er were dancing side by side, their postures as swaggering as seaweed. From time to time, evil soldiers brought up wood and iron materials, and after their shifts were over, they gathered around the campfire to drink.

All the members of the animal team were there. During the day, Zhuang Ya went out with Lao Hei to buy two small sculptures, a crow and a hound, using her private money that she had taken from the corpses of the Silver Knights. This moved Lao Hei and Wu Hei to tears.

"Big snake, this is for you."

Zhuang Ya ran over with a small wooden box carved with a snake in her hands. The thing didn't look like anything special, but the carving was very delicate.

"It's a good thing. I like it very much." Jiang He was a little flattered. He wrapped the box with iron thorns twice before gently stuffing it into the portable temple. The Ouroboros pattern on the surface of the wooden box had a strange beauty. Perhaps it could be used as a family symbol.

After receiving the gift, Jiang He gave his discarded evil flintlock rifle to Zhuang Ya as a toy. Later, the animal team and the Dawn cadres gathered by the campfire for a meeting, mainly for Wuhe to report on the material situation.

"With the boss's portable temple, the Saint Lilith can guarantee clean and sufficient food and water. According to the current plan, the ship will not recruit outsiders. The salary is roughly twice that of the soldiers on the second-class navy ship. We don't have relatives and families to support..."

While listening to the report, Jiang He tinkered with the Wilderness Hunter Armor and the Great Knight Construct Armor. The former could absorb the power of technological products through grinding.

The definition of science and technology is: a general term for science and technology.

"Is alchemy considered a skill?"

Jiang He asked about the pendant. It cost 50,000 gold coins and he didn't want to waste it.

Lilith held her smooth and soft cheek with one hand, lying on the deck to show her beautiful curves, her bright red hair covering half of her eyes. She said lazily, "You will know if you try. I am not Si Ning who will let you do whatever you want. If you really want the answer, you should repay the four favors of the three adults and one child first."

Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, "Then return the smaller one first."

Lilith sighed at the other party's shamelessness and reminded him, "The answer is yes, but you owe me a new small one, which is equivalent to not paying it back."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm a little tired today."

Lilith: "..."

Okay, okay (palms)

Jiang He used the Changhen Dragon Spear to crush the constructed armor, and the swallowing was quickly completed. The Huangshou Armor now had powerful modules such as Dawn Intelligence, Identification of Friend or Foe, Nanotechnology, Light and Thin Alloy, Extremely Strong, and Speed ​​Enhancement.
