Cecilia realized what she had done after kissing. She lowered her head a little, and the dignity of the city Lord disappeared. Her shy appearance could petrify almost all men.


    "What''s the matter with me? I couldn''t bear the moment I saw Dior, and all my modesty flew out of the sky. I don''t know if it was an illusion," was it? "Bai Xiaowen said with a smile," since black rock city is the territory of your iron spine family, why didn''t I take my army to black rock city when the remnant attacked? I didn''t even see a stantin. "


    Baron stantin looked slightly embarrassed and said: "My father handed over the command of Heiyan fortress to his Highness the prince. What he did was the work behind the scenes to dispatch food and protect the safety of grain transportation. Many immature young people didn''t understand the importance of these logistics work. They just knew about fighting on the battlefield and regarded it as the only glory."


    Cecilia stood up straight, her beautiful face cold, and said in a deep voice, "Baron stantin, do you know who is standing in front of you?"


    Baron stantin had guessed, but he remained silent.


    "The man standing in front of you is Dior skelbum. He has repeatedly offered strategies and made miraculous achievements in the attack and defense of BlackRock city. He solved the plague of the dead, leaving two pure lands in Northern Xinjiang: Whitestone city and BlackRock city. He killed Abu Soren, the commander of the remnant coalition Army, and made those beasts afraid to peep into the Canary empire!"


    "Are you sure you want to boast about your achievements in carrying grain in front of such a person?"


    Baron stantin took a step back: "it''s you, Dior skelbum."


    "It seems that my title is Viscount?" Bai Xiaowen snorted. "Baron, isn''t it impolite to call my name directly?"


    "I''m sorry, viscount Dior," Baron stantin quickly organized his words, "your establishment has made some achievements, but do you know that your achievements are based on making most of the people in Northern Xinjiang into irrational monsters? The people of the Canary Empire think you are a cold-blooded devil!"


    Bai Xiaowen shook his head and gave stantin a disdainful look. He hugged Cecilia and was about to enter the city master''s house.


    As he passed Baron stantin, the latter snapped, "don''t you dare defend yourself?"


    Bai Xiaowen suddenly stopped and looked back at Baron stantin.


    "What kind of thing are you? I need to defend you? I''ll do it again. I''ll never regret it. You''re too stupid to understand what I did. I''m not your father. Why should I explain the reason to you and make you smart?"


    "You!" Baron stantin flushed with anger.


    Cecilia whispered, "if you can, try not to conflict with him. The territory of the iron spine family controls the road hub from the Empire to northern Xinjiang, which should not be offended."


    Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "I guessed it was this reason."


    If it weren''t for the important status of stantin and Cecilia''s fear, the strong woman known as the white rose would certainly not pretend to speak to stantin.


    The road hub from the Empire to northern Xinjiang is indeed important. Once cut off, Baishi city will be like an isolated city, which will cut off the possibility of communication and development with the outside world.


    Moreover, there are only two large human strongholds in Northern Xinjiang today, one is Baishi city and the other is Heiyan city. The scale of Heiyan city is several times that of Baishi city. The goods resources and even professionals are relatively complete, which is not comparable to Baishi City, which is poor and waiting for prosperity.


    Baishi city needs to trade with BlackRock city and obtain the materials it needs to develop.


    Cecilia''s forbearance is also to better develop the Baishi city left by Bai Xiaowen.


    After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again, "in fact, you don''t have to get used to that guy. I don''t believe that Baishi city can''t develop without his iron spine family?"


    Cecilia gently took Bai Xiaowen''s arm: "you are the Lord, you has the final say."


    They were affectionate, but the Baron stantin behind him was looking at the fire in his eyes. He rushed over a few steps, pulled off his gloves in twos and threes, and threw them at Bai Xiaowen''s feet.


    "Pick it up, you coward!"


    A low cry of surprise sounded. In Kane''s face, when an aristocrat threw gloves at another person in public, it meant a duel. If the other party picked up the gloves, he would accept the duel.


    Then, something even more astonishing happened. Bai Xiaowen stepped on the glove embroidered with iron spines.


    "Do you deserve to duel with me?" Bai Xiaowen said faintly.


    In terms of rank and influence, Bai Xiaowen is much better than Baron stantin. Class A is well-known in the world, although the name Dior skelbum means bad reputation in the eyes of many people of the Canary empire.


    "I don''t duel with you as a soldier. I have no interest in your martial Lord. I challenge you from the standpoint of a suitor!" roared Baron stantin. "A vulgar countryman like you is not worthy of a beautiful rose like Cecilia. Dare you take your sword and accept my challenge?"


    Bai Xiaowen knows Kane''s cultural background very well. This duel for lovers is very popular among nobles and is generally accepted.


    Of course, those nobles who are not proficient in martial arts can also appoint their followers to accept the duel instead of themselves. However, the party taking the initiative to challenge cannot do so, and the Challenger must play himself.


    Cecilia shook her head and said, "Baron stantin, have you forgotten that Baron Dior was the warrior who killed Abu Soren and challenged him with your strength? Isn''t it self humiliating?"


    Although people in the spirit world can''t have the same insight into each other''s data as Bai Xiaowen, they can feel someone''s general strength level from the fluctuation degree of psionic particles.


    Judging from the fluctuation of psionic particles, Baron stantin is the level of level 5 or 6 elites. Even Cecilia''s knights, Tim, mark and Phil, let alone Bai Xiaowen.


    Baron stantin''s face grew redder. He said word by word: "I can''t accept the shame of being despised by my beloved woman. Bet on the honor of the iron spine family, viscount Dior, I want to fight with you!"


    The frightened voice sounded, and everyone looked at each other. They all felt that this stantin was afraid to be crazy.


    Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly and gave an insight into Baron stantin.


    "The target is in chameleon blood camouflage..."


    "Unknown factor interference, data disorder..."


    "500 power points will be deducted from this insight. Do you want to pay?"


    Bai Xiaowen immediately chose to pay. Suddenly, in his eyes, Albert stantin''s template information suddenly changed.


    [Arquette Erwin (leader level 7) chameleon blood]


    [race: Humanoid race]


    [Occupation: Magic swordsman]


    [attributes: strength 35, agility 59, physique 45, spirit 25]


    [skill 1: engrave secret seal: cast a secret engraved seal on the target. The opponent''s next cast spell will be interfered by the secret seal and fail, and the spell energy will be stored in his own magic blade. Each time the magic blade hits the enemy in the next 10 minutes, it will cause additional spell damage (the attribute type depends on the interfering spell).]


    [skill 2: Magic blade: passive. Your blade is full of spell energy. Every successful physical attack will add 10 points of spell damage (no attribute).]


    [skill 3: instant hit: instantly disappear in place and appear behind the target to launch an attack. If this attack hits, it will cause double damage.]


    [skill 4:??]


    [skill 5: Wandering swordsman LV1: Arquette''s HP is increased by 300 points, and the duration of abnormal state and control skills is reduced by 30%.]


    "Good guy, what chameleon blood camouflage... This goods is not Baron stantin at all! Have ulterior motives!"


    Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes slightly and looked at "stantin" carefully. This stantin is actually called Arquette. I don''t know where he came from. His strength is quite strong, and he is particularly powerful in fighting alone.


    "Life and death duel, are you sure?"


    "Sure!"


    "Well," Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "as you wish. According to the Convention, I should decide the time and place?"


    Arquette sneered and said, "whatever you want."


    "The time is set at noon. The place is in the central square of Baishi city. How about it?" Bai Xiaowen looked up at the sky. Now it''s only an hour or two from noon.


    "OK! I''ll wait for you in the central square. Don''t be afraid to come!" Arquette said, got into the carriage with the help of the housekeeper and left.


    Seeing the carriage engraved with the iron thorn emblem go away, Cecilia came forward and took Bai Xiaowen''s palm and said, "in fact, it''s not necessary to see such a shallow guy."


    "You''re wrong. This man is not simple!" Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Cecilia, tell me first. What place in the territory needs to rely on black rock city recently?"


    ……


    "Big news! The Lord is going to duel with Baron stantin!"


    "It''s said that it was triggered by the city Lord, or a duel of life and death!"


    "Where is it? I''m going to see it!"


    In just over an hour, the news of the duel spread all over Whitestone like wings. Many residents rushed to the central square to witness the good play.


    Iron spine''s carriage, in the carriage.


    An old man in housekeeper''s clothes put down the thick Plush curtains:


    "No wonder it''s getting more and more noisy outside. There are so many people to watch the war."


    Sitting opposite stantin, the wandering swordsman Arquette sneered: "can so many people gather in such a short time? It must be the Lord who is fueling the flames. He thinks he has a winning ticket and wants to beat me in front of the people and show off."


    The housekeeper smiled and said, "he didn''t expect that his opponent was not the noble young master stantin, but a powerful wandering swordsman."


    "Hum, viscount Dior will have a wonderful expression on his face," said Arquette.


    "However, we can''t take it lightly. Dior''s strength is absolutely extraordinary. He can kill the orc chief Abu Soren!"


    Arquette shook his head and said with disdain: "I''ve heard that the dragon goes to the pulse. Abu Soren was surrounded by the tide of zombies. Finally, Dior picked up a great bargain. His real strength is just average, not to mention that he can give full play to my strength in this form of challenge battle. He will die without doubt!"


    "Well, that''s right. As soon as Dior dies, the iron spine family can apply for the escrow territory if he has no successor!" the old housekeeper said with a smile. "The magical zombie inducement liquid and the formula of camouflage liquid used by Whitestone city are the property of the iron spine family."


    "I''m not interested in it, just give me what I deserve," Arquette said.


    "You can rest assured..."


    Suddenly, the noise outside became higher, and someone shouted, "Lord! Lord Dior and the city Lord have appeared!"


    "It''s your show, Mr. Arquette." the housekeeper smiled mysteriously.


    Arquette smiled and nodded, lifted the thick curtain and jumped out of the carriage.


    The central square was crowded by enthusiastic spectators. Only in the central area, under the constraints of the guards of the urban defense army, a circular field with a diameter of about 100 meters was separated, which was the duel field.


    Soon, Bai Xiaowen and Arquette came to the round duel field and stood opposite each other.


    "Only one person can survive today, viscount Dior," Arquette performed gracefully. "Only one person can get Cecilia''s heart!"


    "Her heart has long been mine," Bai Xiaowen''s warm smile made Arquette''s heart angry inexplicably. "Hey, sign the contract of life and death duel first."


    A duel contract requires notaries on both sides.


    Bai Xiaowen''s side was notarized by Cecilia. He signed the contract without regret.


    There were no decent nobles to testify on Arquette''s side, but Mr. Harold, his housekeeper, could testify. However, Arquette obviously came prepared and brought a silver thorn seal symbolizing the authority of the iron thorn family, which was stamped on Harold and his own name.


    Two duelers, two notaries, each signed a contract of life and death. No matter which party dies, it will not violate the laws of the Empire.
