Chapter 22: Can’t Keep a Low Profile

"Miss, it's time for you to go back to your room and rest!" Knight Angus suddenly pushed open the door and said expressionlessly.

Angelina tightened Ethan's arm and whispered back: "I'll stay here tonight, you can go home first."

Angus frowned and said with an unhappy expression: "No! Miss, Ethan is just your fiancé. Premarital sex is absolutely not allowed."

Hearing this, Angelina looked ugly and was about to speak, but was stopped by Ethan.

Ethan stood up slowly, picked up Angelina who was sitting on his lap, and placed her gently on the chair.

Then he turned around and looked at Knight Angus with disdain.

"Why did you come in without knocking? Knight Angus!"

"I'm here to ask the young lady to go back to her room to rest." Angus replied calmly.

"I didn't ask you why you came! I asked you, why did you come in without knocking?" Ethan spoke slowly, word by word, and he wanted Angus to hear clearly.

Angus had noticed something was wrong, and Ethan was holding the sword in his hand.

"This is the territory of the Lawson family. You don't need to take care of what I do. Of course, if you want to do something, I can play with you."

"You also know that this is the territory of the Lawson family?" Ethan smiled: "The knights here usually don't understand the rules like you do?

Don’t know basic etiquette?

How dare you point fingers at your master?

Don’t you need me to take care of it?

Go and find out, what is my name now?

My name is Ethan Lawson. Last name is Lawson. Do you understand?

A domestic dog actually dares to bark at its owner and shamelessly tells him to leave you alone, an old dog!

Where did you get the confidence? And who gave you the confidence? Midnight Circus? "

Knight Angus' expression changed, he put one hand on his sword and said coldly: "You seem to be unable to see your identity clearly!"

"It's because you can't see your identity clearly!" Ethan put his sword on the ground and said jokingly: "My dear Knight Angus, I know what you want to do. But please come back!

At night, my fiancée stayed in my room. Thanks! "

"What do you mean? Don't you want to do something? Come on!" Angus looked provocative.

"Don't get me wrong!" Ethan kept smiling: "I want to do it, and I know you want to do it too.

When I ask you to go back, I don't mean to forget the matter.

Considering that you still have a wife, I asked you to go home and say goodbye.

See you on the lawn at the gate of the manor tomorrow morning.

When the time comes, I will sign the duel book and wait for you.

To be honest, I have no interest in winning or losing competitions played by children.

If you want to play, play with your life!

I hope you don't mind your wife becoming a widow.

Of course, if you don't dare to sign, I won't kill anyone.

After all, if you carry the title of murderer, regardless of whether you will go to jail or not, your reputation will always be bad.

I hate my reputation so much! "

"You are very arrogant! I like it very much!" Angus laughed angrily: "Since you took the initiative to propose a duel, I will satisfy you no matter what.

I don't think the lady would mind changing to a different fiancé. See you tomorrow! "

With that said, Angus turned and left with a look of disdain.

Seeing that the two suddenly decided to duel, Angelina walked to Ethan worriedly, took Ethan's hand and said:

“Although Angus is not a member of the Knights, his strength is real.

It has been many years since he awakened to the Force, and he is at least as strong as Silver Level 5.

You have just awakened to the Force, and it would be too dangerous to challenge him to a duel.

And you also asked me to keep it a secret for you, so why are you suddenly having to duel with him now? "

Ethan smiled nonchalantly: "Who told you that if you practice the Force for a long time, the Force will become more powerful?

Don't worry! Angus is dead, as Ethan said, even if the temple pope comes, he won't be able to save him.

As for confidentiality, well...

There are always people who don’t know the heights of the world and insist on provocation. What can I do?

Also, I promised you that I would protect you.

Since he dares to cause trouble for you, he must be willing to pay the price.

This is also the original intention of me asking him to duel tomorrow. I want everyone in the Lawson family, whether they are senior officials or subordinates, to see with their own eyes what will happen if they offend my fiancée! "

After hearing this, Angelina couldn't help but be overjoyed, put her arms around Ethan's neck and pecked him hard on the face.

"Are you sent by the gods to protect me?"

"The gods can't protect anyone!" Ethan smiled: "Instead of relying on the gods, it's better to take action yourself. I am willing to protect you, but I hope you can also take action yourself, and don't always rely on others to please others.

Pleasing others will not bring you safety, but will only bring you contempt, just like the Angus knight who just left. "

After hearing this, Angelina was in a daze. After a long while, she came back to her senses. With slightly red eyes, she said softly: "Yeah! I understand! Ethan, you are right. I will work hard to improve myself in the future. Don’t try to please others.”

"I'm glad to hear you say that." Ethan smiled happily: "It's getting late, you should go and rest first!"

"You won't come with me?"

"I just awakened to the Force, and I still have some things to deal with. You go to sleep first!"

Angelina also knew that what Ethan said was true, nodded, and went to bed to rest.

Ethan walked into the study, leaned on the soft long-backed chair, closed his eyes and rested.

Only now does he have time to look at his situation.

Another line of words appeared on the talent panel: With 288 Force points, you can exchange for skill points in the main talent. Each point of Force can be exchanged for one skill point.

"One Force point can be exchanged for one skill point? Is Force so valuable? Then what level is it if I have 288 Force points when I awaken?" Ethan was shocked.

"No matter what level it is, the less consumption, the better."

Ethan calculated that the main talent has four skills, each skill requires 5 skill points, which is a total of 20 skill points.

I have already clicked it once, so I only need 19 Force points.

When I saw my 288 Force points, I exchanged 19 skill points without hesitation and added them all to the main talent.

At this time, look at the skills:

[Short]: Active skill LV5

You can temporarily borrow 80% of the target's power to strengthen yourself.

Within 50 minutes, if you defeat or kill the target, you will permanently get 45%-55% of the target's power, and the benefit will be determined based on the damage to the target.

If you are defeated or killed, you will lose 20%-100% of your own power and give it to the target! The loss is determined according to the damage to yourself.

One day cooldown, the same target can be shorted repeatedly.

[Leverage]: Active skill LV5

You can temporarily leverage your own power.

Within 50 minutes, if you defeat or kill the target, you will permanently get 60%-80% of the target's power, and the profit will be determined according to the damage to the target.

If you are defeated or killed, you will lose 70%-100% of your own power and give it to the target! The loss is determined according to the damage to yourself.

Three days cooldown, you can use it repeatedly, but the maximum leverage cannot exceed 6.42

[Loan sharking]: Active skill LV5

You can give a target your own power and attributes, without time limit.

If the target defeats or kills an enemy, you will get 40%-100% of the enemy's power. The profit is determined according to the damage to the enemy.

If the target you give power to is defeated or killed, you will lose 20%-100% of your investment. The loss is determined based on the damage to your investment target.

One day cooldown, the same target can only be loaned three times.

[Quantum Fund]: Passive skill LV5

[Short], [Leverage], [Loan sharking] The three skills are immediately cooled, but a deposit must be paid each time they are used.

According to the level, the margin ratio is reduced in turn, LV1: 30%, LV2: 25%, LV3: 20%, LV4: 15%, LV5: 10%

Note: The power here includes ordinary strength and force, but does not include magic.

After carefully looking at these skills, Ethan couldn't help laughing.

"These skills are not particularly dangerous if used well. For example, if used in a duel, it is really like adding wings to a tiger."

"[Short] and [Leverage] can be used to fight with others, and [Loan sharking] is even more of a magic skill. If used well, you can grow continuously even if you lie at home in the future."
