Chapter 978: Battle of Armor
Two of the three referees sent by the court walked to the sidelines to calm the excited spectators and warned them not to interfere with the order of the duel.
There was also a referee who gestured to the duelists to come to him, announced the rules of the duel, and asked Jack Favor to take off his helmet and verify his identity.
Favor reluctantly lifted his visor and took off his helmet, revealing a handsome but gloomy face with bloodshot eyes, obviously he had not slept well all night.
Given his current situation of "a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating him", it is normal to toss and turn and have difficulty sleeping.
After verifying his identity, Gao Fei took the opportunity to shake hands with Favor and quietly opened the astrolabe to check the details of his opponent.
…
Strength 20, Agility 12, Constitution 20, Intelligence 10, Perception 15, Charisma 20
…
The three attributes that the paladin emphasizes, strength, constitution and charm are all as high as 20 points. Favor's talent is extraordinary!
In addition to the information provided by Paul Porter in the letter, Gao Fei also found out the specialties that Favor was good at through the star disk, including "Sturdy", "Weapon Focus (Blunt Attack)", "Combat Counterattack Shield Bash", "Power Attack", "Cleave", "Whirlwind Slash", and a rare "Weapon Type"!
……
Weapon Type: The character can use a weapon one level larger than the normal model, or use a two-handed weapon with one hand.
……
After reading the introduction of "Weapon Type", Gao Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jack Favor could wield a heavy chain hammer with one hand, relying on this specialty.
According to previous game experience, after playing this chapter, as long as the number of times the file is loaded does not exceed one time, "Weapon Type" may appear in the bonus specialty list.
This idea made Gao Fei excited. Whether in the game or in reality, "Weapon Type" can be regarded as a practical and powerful specialty. Today is determined to get it!
After calming down his excitement, Gao Fei continued to check the reconnaissance report.
Unfortunately, the astrolabe did not provide a list of Favor's spells. It can only be seen that this person has 10 spellcasting levels.
Fortunately, the "Spellbreaker Knight" is not good at spellcasting. At Favor's level, he can only cast 2nd-level divine spells at most.
Gao Fei also identified Favor's equipment and found that his chain hammer, plate armor and shield are all magical equipment.
+1 Large Chain Hammer, basic damage 2d6+1, many spikes protrude from the solid iron hammer as big as a watermelon, which can cause piercing and blunt damage at the same time.
The thorny hammer is a bit like the "meteor hammer" in martial arts novels, but the chain between the hammer head and the handle is shorter, about 5 feet long, and is an alternative flail.
Favor also has a +1 bulletproof shield. In addition to providing 3 points of defense, the shield also has a constant 2nd-level spell "Protection from Arrows".
Gao Fei's pistol is not an enchanted weapon, and it is almost impossible to penetrate this bulletproof shield, but ray magic such as "Scorching Ray" is not affected.
The highest-level equipment on Jack Feiffer is the set of +1 acceleration mithril plate armor, defense +10.
The heavy armor forged with mithril is only equivalent to a set of medium armor. Unlike ordinary plate armor, it will not reduce the wearer's movement speed, and it can also trigger 10 rounds of "acceleration".
Because of this set of armor, Mr. Wenders protested to the referee before the duel.
This set of armor is a family heirloom of the Wenders family, originally displayed in the art museum on the second floor.
Mr. Wenders is a literati, and he doesn't use this set of armor. He just treats it as a collection. Unable to withstand the soft and hard grinding of his ex-wife Rebecca, he gave this set of armor to her cousin Jack Feiffer.
At that time, he thought it was just a gift between relatives and didn't take it seriously. Until the scandal of Rebecca's affair with her cousin and pregnancy was exposed, the nature of this matter changed.
His own heirloom, worn on his wife's lover, dueling with his agent, which husband can bear this breath?
Wenders solemnly declared to the referee that he had the right to take back the property stolen by his unfaithful wife and her lover, that is, the "+1 accelerated mithril full body armor".
"My dear Lord, Rebecca Wenders was still your legal wife when she was alive, and when she gave this set of armor as a gift, you did not object, so the law may not support you to take back this set of armor."
The referee explained in embarrassment.
Judge Colt heard the dispute on the sidelines and couldn't help but have a professional disease attack. He interrupted: "Mr. Referee, please allow me to remind you that Mr. Wenders did not know that Favor had an affair with his wife at the time and was deceived. This is theft and transfer of common property of the couple. I think Mr. Wenders has the right to recover his property."
"But who can prove that he really didn't know that his wife was having an affair..."
This argument lasted for a while, and the audience waiting to watch the duel became impatient. Paul Porter was the first to jump out and shout out the common voice of the audience.
"You hooked up with someone's wife, stole someone's heirloom, and wore it to duel with the victim's agent. Do you have any shame?"
"If Jack Feiffer is still a man and has a bit of backbone, he should return the armor to Mr. Wenders!"
Amid the curses, Jack Feiffer's face was extremely ugly, but he just dropped the armor and ignored the onlookers' rebuke.
Gao Fei could see that this guy had made up his mind to "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".
Anyway, his reputation has been tarnished, and Favre would rather bear more infamy than to hold on to this set of magical armor, otherwise his probability of winning in the duel will become even lower.
In this case, the referees negotiated urgently and finally reached a compromise:
If Favre wins the duel, Mr. Wenders can initiate a lawsuit to have the court decide who owns the suit of armor.
On the other hand, if Favor loses the duel, he must return the armor to Mr. Wenders regardless of whether he can leave the duel alive.
Favre reluctantly accepted the plan proposed by the referee.
On the other hand, Mr. Wenders, perhaps for the purpose of motivating the agent, made a promise to Gao Fei in public:
"Mr. Justice, help me defeat Favre in the duel. In addition to the agreed reward of 10,000 gold pounds, the set of mithril plate armor will also be given to you as an additional thank you gift!"
"Mr. Wenders, thank you very much for your generosity. I swear that I will help you get back what you lost on the duel field!"
Gao Fei got excited as soon as he heard about the benefits!
A set of "+1 Mithril Acceleration Full Body Armor" is worth much more than the 10,000 gold pounds. I am in need of a high-end set of enchanted armor. Of course, this gift package that comes to my door is not to be missed!
