Chapter 174 The duel begins

"this?"

Although Hansen did not say it explicitly, everyone present could see what he wanted to express.

That is, Richard is no match for Godwin.

"Richard, it seems that your subordinates don't think highly of you either. How about this, as long as you kneel on the ground and kowtow to me and beg for mercy, I will let you go."

Seeing that Richard's men all felt that Richard had no hope of winning, Godwin became more arrogant.

Of course, the purpose was not to make Richard kowtow and beg for mercy. He just wanted to provoke Richard and make Richard accept his duel.

In the dueling arena of Jeff's Kingdom, life or death is irrelevant, even if Richard is killed in the dueling arena, no one will bother him.

Of course, it is another matter for the relatives and friends of the deceased to seek revenge privately.

"Humph, you are courting death, so you can't blame me."

Richard originally just wanted to teach Godwin a lesson, but he didn't expect him to be so rampant, so he stopped talking.

After seeing Richard's cold eyes, Hansen didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

Afterwards, Richard and Godwin went to the duel field outside the city of Tunan to sign up, and the duel between the two sides was set.

However, there are still people dueling in the duel arena, so Richard and Godwin need to wait for a while.

Richard and Godwin both arrived backstage at the duel arena, but in different places, ready to make their debut.

A deputy leader of the Black Snake Mercenary Group rushed over upon hearing the news and found Godwin who was ready to go into battle.

"Godwin, what's wrong with you? Are you causing trouble for our Black Snake Mercenary Group again?"

The strength of this deputy leader has reached the peak of level four, which is much stronger than Godwin. It was he who decided that Godwin lost his position as deputy leader.

"Brown, this time I met the wizard who harmed me. Don't stop me again, or I will quit the Black Snake Mercenary Group today."

Brown's eyes changed, and he asked Godwin to withdraw from the Black Snake Mercenary Group, and their mercenary group lost a general.

"Since you have met your enemy, then go ahead. But I heard that this wizard is very talented. He broke through to the third-level wizard at the age of eighteen. His future is bright!"

As he spoke, Brown's expression darkened.

"Since we have already offended him, we should not let him go this time. We should just kill him in the duel arena. No one will be able to say anything."

"Of course, do you think I will let this wizard grow up?"

Godwin asked back with a smile.

The two men smiled at each other, as if they had reached a consensus, and Godwin's resentment towards Brown was greatly reduced.

Neither of the two fourth-level warriors had considered the possibility of losing the duel. After all, the difference between a fourth-level warrior and a third-level wizard was not small.

On the other side, Richard remained calm and took out a few pieces of equipment from the backpack that Hansen helped him carry. These were all low-level equipment that Richard had made in the past eight months. They were enough to conceal his strength when fighting Godwin.

Richard was not going to reveal that he had already broken through to become an intermediate wizard. He would just rely on his multitasking abilities and these low-level equipment.

After putting on some magical equipment, Richard was ready to go on stage.

In the duel arena, the two slave warriors of Ou Yun also ended their fight. The loser was beheaded, while the winner was taken back to prison by the staff of the duel arena.

"The next two people to duel are the former deputy leader of the Black Snake Mercenary Group, the fourth-level warrior Godwin."

A staff member of the duel arena introduced loudly with the help of a magic loudspeaker array.

Suddenly, the audience in the duel arena cheered. It was rare to see a level 4 warrior personally participating in a duel. After all, if he joined the official ranks of the kingdom, he would at least be able to obtain the position of honorary baron.

Now that a level 4 warrior suddenly wanted to duel, the audience present felt that the tickets they bought today were worth it.

Godwin, wearing a handsome half-body armor, walked out from one side of the duel arena in a very arrogant manner, holding a scimitar that Richard had seen before. Unfortunately, these equipments were only low-level equipment.

The money that Godwin had saved for replacing his equipment was all used to pay off his debts.

"And Godwin's opponent is Richard, a third-level wizard, who is nineteen years old."

"A nineteen-year-old third-level wizard, he seems to have great talent. I wonder why he wants to duel with Godwin?"

"You don't know this! Richard once made equipment that was copied by a wizard under Godwin. But later the wizard who copied it ran away, and Godwin owed a lot of debts. That's how the feud between the two began."

Although Richard was very low-key, some of the people who came to watch the duel were well-informed. Just by waiting for a duel, the grudge between Richard and Godwin was dug up.

"So there is still a grudge between the two of them. Looks like today's duel will be bloody!"

"It's fun to see blood. The fight between those two Ou Yuntu just now was so weak and boring. I'm tired of watching it."

Along with the discussions, Richard also walked out from the other side of the duel arena.

"What a handsome little brother! I'm getting excited just thinking about him getting torn to pieces."

A female audience member screamed enthusiastically, causing the audience nearby to look at her sideways.

Richard was speechless. It seemed that most people still didn't think highly of him!

But it doesn’t matter, I’ll slap them in the face later.

Seeing that Godwin and Richard were already in place, the staff of the duel arena confirmed with Godwin and Richard separately whether the duel should be held.

After both of them confirmed, the staff left the venue and a magic array emerged from the edge of the dueling arena. From then on, the magic array would not disappear unless one of the duelists confirmed his victory or one of them died.

"Richard, I didn't expect you to actually dare to duel!"

Godwin smiled complacently and started jokingly.

However, Richard saw a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

It seems that Richard and Godwin had the same idea and wanted to take advantage of the duel to kill each other directly.

Too lazy to talk to a dead person, Richard also showed his hands. Four fire element affinity rings were worn on Richard's hands, and there was also a fire element affinity necklace around Richard's neck.

"They are all low-level elemental affinity equipment and extreme equipment?"

exclaimed an insightful wizard.

The so-called elemental affinity extreme equipment, as the name suggests, is the low-level equipment that has the greatest improvement in elemental affinity. For example, each of the rings on Richard's hands can increase the affinity of a low-level wizard with the fire element by 39%.

Of course, these are just props that Richard uses to conceal his strength. These low-level equipment can only provide a slight improvement to Richard's current strength.

Otherwise, with Richard's elemental affinity, others would be able to tell as soon as he made a move that this was definitely not an elemental affinity that a low-level wizard could possess.
