Chapter 1144 Family First
"Sister Claire, does Brother Umberto know that Simone is going to duel with Musk?" Lisa asked the red-haired girl.
"He saw the news in the newspaper and immediately rushed out the door. I don't know where he ran to..." Claire's eyes were filled with worry, "I was worried that he would mess up, so I hurried to find you, but I didn't expect Umberto to be here."
"If Brother Umberto doesn't come to find Musk, then he will most likely go to find Simone and Sir Colombo." Lisa guessed, "Maybe he can convince his father and brother to give up the duel and resolve the dispute in a more rational way."
"I hope so." Claire echoed worriedly.
In fact, selfishly speaking, she would rather Umberto not get involved in this dispute that is destined to make him embarrassed.
However, she also knows that Umberto will never stay out of it.
No one cherishes his family more than the "Archangel".
Even the man who once ruthlessly abandoned him and his mother and did not fulfill his father's responsibilities is still a family member connected to him by blood and cannot be separated.
…
Gao Fei spent a star disk energy to skip this depressing plot and went directly to the next morning. The story stage also switched to the duel field he was very familiar with. The outside of the field was crowded with spectators who came to watch the excitement.
The story of "Duel Agent" is about to reach its climax.
Before the last duel of the whole game process began, Gao Fei received the upgrade reward issued by the system in advance.
"Imitator" was upgraded to level 12, HP +8 (89), Charisma attribute +1 (28).
"Mage Mask" and "Warlock Mask" each added a new spell slot, which can imitate up to 4th ring magic.
Gao Fei used the "Mage Mask" to prepare "Advanced Detective", which increased the attack check by 6 points to avoid failure at the critical moment.
Gao Fei thought about the new spell slot of the "Warlock Mask" and decided to use it to imitate Lisa's "Spirit Guardian". This spell with both deceleration and damage is the best means of controlling the field at this stage.
The reward profession of this chapter is Simone's "Ocean Knight", a paladin type specializing in water battles.
There are three candidate bonus feats, namely "Weapon Focus", "Whirlwind" and "Great Cleave".
"Weapon Focus" is self-explanatory. "Whirlwind" and "Great Cleave" are both high-level feats, and the prerequisite is "Cleave".
Gao Fei's Mimic can only use these two high-level feats when wearing the "Warrior Mask".
"Whirlwind" is a close-range sweep, and "Great Cleave" is a bonus action to chase twice. They have their own strengths. Which one should I choose?
How to choose is a problem in reality.
If you only consider the needs in the game, you don't have to think about it. You must choose "Great Cleave"!
Because as early as when the "Mimic" was upgraded to level 9, Gao Fei's "Warrior Mask" had automatically awakened "Whirlwind", so there was no need to learn a duplicate feat.
As soon as Gao Fei exited the upgrade screen, there was a noise outside the duel field.
A blond young man in silver armor galloped over on a horse. He was the other protagonist of today's duel, Simone Colombo.
Seeing Simone dismount from his horse and walk over amid the cheers of the audience, Gao Fei couldn't help but frown secretly.
After the battle in the forest the night before, Simone should have known that he was no match for Musk. It was a losing game, so why did he bite the bullet and fight?
At first, Gao Fei thought Simone didn't expect to win the duel at all, but just used this way to show filial piety to his father.
As for whether his father would publicly confess as agreed after losing the duel, it was not something he, as a son, could decide.
However, as Simone approached, Gao Fei gradually realized that something was wrong.
He carried with him the "Orb of True Knowledge" given by Queen Bolga, which was equivalent to the "True Knowledge Technique". It was not difficult to see that Simone was surrounded by a circle of light blue halo symbolizing "illusion", as if he was using "disguise" to cover up his true face.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Gao Fei carefully looked at the fake "Simone" in front of him, and the doubt in his eyes turned into enlightenment.
"It's him..."
Gao Fei frowned, hesitating whether to tell the referee about this and expose the fake on the opposite side in public.
He hasn't made up his mind yet, and there is a sudden sound of horse neighing outside the field.
A carriage galloped over, and the sound of two men arguing fiercely in the carriage was faintly heard, which immediately attracted people's attention, and Gao Fei also cast a curious look.
Before the carriage stopped, the door was kicked open roughly, and a young man jumped down hurriedly, and it was Simone Colombo!
What's going on?
Everyone looked left and right, confused by the two identical Simone Colombos inside and outside the duel field, and all of them had incredible expressions on their faces.
"Simone! Don't be impulsive!" An old voice came from the carriage.
A white-haired old gentleman, leaning on a cane, limped out of the carriage, ignoring his inflexible legs, and hurriedly caught up with Simone, holding his arm tightly.
Hearing people's discussions, Gao Fei realized that this lame old man with severe gout was Simone's father, Sir Giovanni Colombo.
"My child! This is not the place for you to come!" Sir Colombo urged his son anxiously, "Your elder brother... Although I feel sorry for him, he is right! Even if you don't listen to your father, you should at least listen to your brother..."
"Enough!" Simone, a filial son, interrupted his father rudely in front of many onlookers, "Sorry, Dad, I can't agree with this approach! It's not fair to my brother or Musk!"
The indignant paladin ignored his father's persuasion, shook off his hand, and rushed straight to the referees.
"Gentlemen, please allow me to declare! I am the real Simone Colombo, as for the one on the duel... he is a fake!"
"Mr. Colombo, I am confused by you, you'd better explain the whole story clearly." The referee frowned.
The audience on the sidelines also echoed in unison, posing as if they were eating melons and not afraid of big things, urging Simone to quickly expose the news!
"Last night, my brother, who rarely visits, suddenly came to visit my father. The two of them hid in the study and discussed things in whispers... I felt something was wrong at the time, but I didn't expect them to come up with such a bad idea!"
"This morning, just when I was about to go out to participate in the duel, my father poured me a glass of wine, saying that he wanted to wish me victory in advance. I drank the wine rashly and soon fainted."
