Chapter 773 Duel
"The Lord has gone down?"
On the city wall, Fulin, who was sitting with her legs crossed and her knees hugged, suddenly looked back with a look of disgust. In her view, Jeanne was like a shining little sun, emitting a holy light that made her quite uncomfortable.
"Hey, do you want to kill me with the sun?"
Fulin couldn't help but curse in Romanian slang, then immediately realized: "Wait, your injury is healed already?"
When I saw her coming back before, didn’t she look like a paper figure that was about to be blown away by the wind? How come she looks even more dazzling now than before?
"It's a lot better, but I can't say I'm fully recovered yet... I didn't expect to meet someone with such a powerful Holy Light in the New World."
It's just that its nature is too violent, and it is completely different from the holy light she possesses. It will take some time to completely tame it. The reason why it is so dazzling now is that she has not yet completely turned this holy light into her own use.
"What's going on down there? I heard a Bavarian prince came looking for Viviana?"
"I'll give you a link to the Mage's Eye and see for yourself."
Fulin was not interested in this. If it weren't for Cherinina's reminder, she would have been too lazy to worry about such things.
...
On the mountain road.
"who are you?"
Crown Prince Rupprecht frowned. How come he had never heard of such a young dragon knight before?
In an age when dragon knights are almost extinct, such a young dragon knight can be said to have a bright future.
In Europe, no matter which country, even if a dragon knight has tamed only the lowest dragon, he will be praised, receive flowers and applause. Every monarch will not hesitate to give them a noble status. Why should they stay in such a remote place?
Moreover, this guy's dragon seems somewhat familiar.
The Habsburg family and the Ottomans were old enemies. Otto I of the Wittelsbach family, the uncle of his father Ludwig III, had also served as the King of Greece, a small country that had gained independence from the Ottoman empire.
Therefore, the two families have many records about the Ottomans, especially the legendary destroyer of Constantinople with three heads, known as the "city that will never fall".
The Crown Prince was looking at Lothar, and Lothar was also looking at the Crown Prince.
Rupprecht, whose name had been heard long ago in the original time and space of Lothal, was the most capable general in the German royal family during World War I. At most, he commanded four armies with more than one million people fighting on the Western Front.
If we only look at the number of people, a general like Lothar, who has a decent level of self-awareness, is not even worthy of carrying Ruprecht's shoes.
"I am just a nobody. For now, I am considered Viviana's employer. She serves me and helps the Texans fight the British. It is also my will."
Losa did not register. It was meaningless to just say a name. As for his surname, he was too lazy to say it to establish a relationship with the Habsburg family. If anyone wanted to establish a relationship, it should be the younger generations who should establish a relationship with him, the ancestor.
Losa paused, and then continued, "You are the crown prince of a country. You rashly go to the war zone and put your life in danger. If you really die, wouldn't the efforts that the Wittelsbach family and His Majesty the Emperor have invested in you over the years be wasted?"
"Moreover, you claim to represent the will of His Majesty the Emperor. According to your logic, after your death, will it also lead to a rift between Bavaria and Austria, and even cause the division of southern Germany?"
Losa turned around and smiled at Viviana: "Don't take responsibility for something that is not your fault. The world will continue to function without anyone. How can you put all these heavy responsibilities on yourself?"
Viviana is a kind person. If it were him, he would not care about Ruprecht's moral blackmail.
But Viviana still looked a little confused. Since there was no news from the New World, she had no way to verify whether what Ruprecht said was true or false.
Ruprecht frowned. "You are a sharp-tongued person, but you are just changing the subject. I was the one who made this trip happen, and Bavaria has always been close to Austria. How can you generalize?"
Losa snorted coldly, "You also know that Bavaria and Austria have always been close, and there has long been a rift between Brandenburg and other northern German states and southern Germany. Can this be blamed on Viviana?"
Besides, when he took Viviana away, he had already discussed it with the Elector. It was a "legitimate marriage" and the future would be tied to an advanced combat record of his own as repayment.
As for the subsequent tricks, they were nothing more than the Elector taking advantage of the situation to undermine the old emperor's prestige. Anyway, the relationship between the two was not good to begin with, and the old emperor could not do anything because of the Elector's "pain of losing his daughter."
"As for the diplomatic incident, it's even more ridiculous. We all know that it's the British who need you now. If Britain and Germany break up, the continental blockade envisioned by Napoleon will come. Viviana's private appearance in Texas is just a drizzle.
Your Highness Ruprecht, I think you'd better be honest and tell me why you're here, right?"
Seeing that his master did not speak, the attendant plucked up his courage and said, "How dare you, rude man, speak to my Highness like this?"
"Well, you have no right to speak here."
Ruprecht pushed his servant away. Only the ignorant are fearless. He could sense a strong sense of danger from Lothar. Even if Lothar didn't tell him his identity, he could tell that he was definitely a respected and extraordinary person.
It is very likely that he is the dragon knight mentioned in the intelligence who destroyed half of the expeditionary force's floating fleet.
Ruprecht's voice was quite firm: "Her Highness Viviana should return to Germany. This is her mission."
"Whose idea is this? The old emperor's?"
Ruprecht nodded. “Of course.”
"Then let's meet Zhenzhang."
Lothar frowned, and golden light condensed in his hand, revealing the king's new spear that was surrounded by the shadow of a giant dragon and looked like the spear of God.
The attendant who had dared to make a few noisy remarks swallowed his saliva and shivered like he was naked in the cold winter. "Your Highness, you can't fight me."
He grabbed the sleeve of his own Crown Prince. If a Crown Prince dueled with such a dangerous character, Rupprecht would be in trouble, and he and his family would have no chance of surviving in Europe.
This is not the same as in Europe, where duels also depend on the identity of the opponent.
In such a remote place, these people might really kill their own crown prince, and Bavaria couldn't even retaliate.
Although His Majesty the King loves the Crown Prince very much and His Majesty the Emperor also values this rising star of the southern German royal family, it is impossible to convince the Federation to send troops to Texas because there are too many constraints in the federal parliament.
If we only rely on Bavaria and even the British are defeated in Texas, then there will be no way to take revenge.
"can."
Ruprecht agreed decisively, and his expression became eager to try: "But I want to fight with Her Highness Viviana first."
When Viviana first became famous, he was still young and had just started swordsmanship. Naturally, he could only look up to the Candle Knight. But now, he was confident that he could defeat Viviana without any problem.
The time has come to climb the mountain in your mind!
Lothar frowned, "I'm afraid that's not possible. Viviana's strength has been severely damaged. Can't you even see her aura? Do you want to take advantage of her?"
Viviana's combat power at her peak was quite impressive. She was a top-notch warrior who could fight side by side with Lothar and against the three-headed dragon. She was definitely at the Elite II level, and the title of Germany's No. 1 female swordsman was well deserved.
But now, she hasn't even reached the first level of eliteization, and her strength has declined too much.
"I thought you just held back your breath."
Ruprecht was quite disappointed, but immediately said: "I have a magic potion given by His Majesty the Emperor that can quickly heal your injuries. You can take it and then fight me again. Your Highness Viviana, I promise that if I fail, I will never tangle with you again."
Inviting Viviana to return to the country was a task given by the emperor.
For him, this trip to the New World has only one goal, and that is to defeat the Candle Knight!
