Chapter 681

This is actually not consistent with its nature.

Of course, it's also possible that it wants to but can't.

…

As Ashfire was taken away by Dak, the "dueling field" launched by Angus Jeffrey was naturally eliminated.

The weird aura that filled the arena soon disappeared completely.

No one knows that a "dark duel" took place in front of everyone, and no one knows what Angus Jeffrey experienced before and after this duel.

Duck raised his head and looked across. Angus Jeffrey's eyelids were twitching, and the empty eyes were being filled with some kind of consciousness.

When he suddenly blinked, he screamed as if he had been greatly frightened!

Then he pressed his hand on the card table and broke into a cold sweat.

Dark frowned and asked tentatively: "Senior Jeffrey?"

A friendly greeting passed over the loudspeaker, which was received normally by Angus Jeffrey.

He seemed to have some understanding of the fact that he was in a duel... no, he was still defeated miserably after the second duel.

But in his memory, everything related to "Ash Fire" was obviously gone.

"Did I lose again?"

Angus Jeffrey raised his hand and pressed his forehead, feeling that there seemed to be a huge hole in his heart, and endless emptiness swept up.

He understood this as the disappointment after losing to Dak, and gritted his teeth hard and responded: "You won this time, but you won't keep winning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the magic card and walked towards the stairs with a slight stagger.

…

Looking at his back as he gradually walked down the contestant stage, Dak pursed his lips, put his magic elves back into the card, and then turned around and walked off the contestant stage.

That gray flame was floating beside him, following him downward.

Duck walked to the ground, looked at Ollie who was waiting with a smile, and whispered: "Let's go."

Then the two of them quickly left the arena without waiting for Jessica to lead the way.

After they walked out of the entrance of the circular corridor, they were met by a noble who looked somewhat familiar.

But Dak didn't bother to make excuses with these nobles who didn't know when they would meet. He casually declared that he was a little tired, and pushed the nobles who spoke exaggerated words away, and then quickly found Pandora and Ou Ruo. pull.

Phyllis, who was next to them, exclaimed: "Duck, what was that golem you summoned in the end? Angus's fat penguin can't stop it at all!"

"A kind of weapon." Dak smiled.

When it came to "armed", Phyllis couldn't help but cover her mouth and said: "It's the Valkyrie... I mean, Your Excellency, did she teach you?"

Duck nodded and said, "Of course."

Then Ollie, who was walking behind him, suddenly took a step forward and whispered into his ear.

Dak looked surprised, and then apologized: "Sorry, Phyllis, I may have to go back for something, so I'll save today's dinner for the next time."

Phyllis observed with interest the head maid who had raised her head and retreated, but said: "No problem, but next time I invite you, don't refuse."

"Of course not." Duck smiled slightly.

Then he took Pandora and Aurora and quickly left the "Dreams" clubhouse.

…

It wasn't until the four people got on the carriage again that Pandora asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Duck said: "It suddenly occurred to me that there will be your farewell party tonight."

"Didn't you say we would do it at night?" Pandora raised the corner of her mouth.

Duck then smiled and said, "I suddenly felt that it would be better to do it earlier."

Pandora said: "Well, there is nothing interesting in this club anyway."

The carriage fell into silence for a moment.

Aurora looked at the two people around her curiously without saying anything.

The carriage quickly drove out of the lush garden where "The Dream" was located and walked onto the road leading to the Duke's Palace.

As the sun sets and dusk falls, the pedestrians on the avenue become more hurried.

When the sky outside the window was completely engulfed by the orange-red sunset, the number of pedestrians and carriages on the road became increasingly rare.

The dragon tamer driving the car lit up the lights hanging on both sides of the car door, and then slowed down slightly.

It was only then that Dak stretched out his hand and closed his fingers, and the gray flame condensed in his palm.

Pandora looked at his movements curiously and asked, "In your hand?"

"Yes." Duck nodded, "A gray flame."

Pandora shook her head: "I can't see it."

Aurora couldn't help but ask: "What exactly can't be seen?"

Dak took a breath and said, "Wait a little longer."

…

Before nightfall, the carriage finally arrived at the Duke's Palace.

When the dragon horned horse slowly stopped, the four people in the carriage walked out one after another. Then Da Keping backed away the maid who came to greet him and quickly entered the house.

At this time, the lights in the Duke's Palace were still bright, and the maids of the "Aries Palace Maid Group" were still preparing the dishes for the farewell party.

Arvite and others, who had eaten something, were drinking tea and chatting in the living room.

When Duck saw the light in the room, he walked up to the second floor and pushed the door open.

"Back?"

Arvette saw a baby she hadn't seen during the day, and she showed a very natural expression of joy.

"Did you take Pandora to have fun?" Claire teased casually.

Hephis sipped his tea and smiled.

But that smile disappeared quickly.

The three of them were very keenly aware of the different atmosphere.

Dark nodded to them, then walked quickly to the center of the living room and sat down on the chair in front of the tea table.

Pandora walked to Hephis and sat down.

Aurora sat next to Alvette.

"Click."

Oli locked the door and walked over.

Dark waited until everyone gathered together before grabbing the gray fire in his hand again, slowly spreading his palm and said seriously: "Can you see it?"

The three people present, one is the "Valkyrie" who stood at the top ten years ago, one is the famous "Beast Sage", and the other is a pure-blooded white dragon with the "True Dragon Eye"!

If even they can't see this gray fire, it means that it must be extraordinary even in the underworld.

But the worst situation did not happen.

In addition to Claire, Alvette and Hephis both showed a look of "seeing something".

So Claire complained, "So what did you see?"

Yalvette's expression eased a little, and she said, "I can't see much, just a blurry black shadow."

Hephis glanced at her and immediately smiled, "Then I may see more, wait a moment."

Obviously, she was very happy about surpassing the Valkyrie in a certain ability.

Hephis looked at the gray flame in Dak's hand again and slowly opened her eyes.

As the magic power gathered, white light appeared in her eyes, and her pupils suddenly disappeared, and two beams of white light suddenly shot out from her eyes.

Dak's mind moved, and he took the initiative to put the flame into Hephis's "gaze".

After being illuminated by the "gaze", the gray flame actually took on the shape of a black shadow.

But from its external outline, it can still be seen that it is a flame.

Claire was surprised and said, "Where did you get this flame from?"

Dak then slowly told what happened today.

"Wait, you said this is the spoils of the duel between you and Jeffrey's son?"

Claire interrupted him and asked, "So, where did Jeffrey's son get this flame?"

Dak took a deep breath and said, "The information I have is also very limited, but if it is not unexpected, it should be leaked from the underworld."

"From the underworld..." Claire asked curiously, "Could it be the fire of the underworld?"

Dak said, "Before we really figure out its origin, we can temporarily call it the fire of the underworld."

"Wait a minute."

Yalvette interrupted their conversation again and said solemnly, "Did Angus Jeffrey take the initiative to challenge you?"

"Yeah." Dak nodded, "This is the second time."

Yalvette frowned and said, "He Did they target you in the academy? "

Dak smiled slightly: "It seems that they did, but I really don't remember it."

"Really?" Yalvette said: "According to what you said, although Angus Jeffrey was possessed by the underworld fire, he did not lose his consciousness, but his personality became a little extreme, and he was full of an inexplicable obsession with duels?"

Dak looked at the gray flame, placed it on his fingertips and shook it slightly, and said slowly: "In fact, I got some fragmented memories from this underworld fire. This underworld fire is likely to be the manifestation of some individual consciousness fragments, and it is only a small part of it. "

"Because that individual consciousness has a strong obsession with duels, it will create a similar duel ritual ability after possessing Jeffrey. "

"And And its "duel" should not refer specifically to a magic duel. Its initial consciousness may be directed to a duel between gladiators or a duel between knights. "

"It's just that in this era, magic duels almost monopolize the interpretation of "duel." "

"So it follows the local customs..."

"Well, in fact, I'm just guessing, or it may just be because the duel in Jeffrey's mind is a magic duel."

Dak's eyes reflected flames, and he continued: "Jeffrey was possessed by the underworld fire while watching the execution ceremony of the devil. There may be many people who are possessed like him. If the possessed person is a warrior, the so-called duel may be a real competition with real swords and guns."

"At present, it seems that people possessed by this underworld fire are very aggressive and will It makes the possessed person want to duel with others. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people with strong will can restrain this impulse. "

"And if you can win in the duel field, you can not only extract the memory related to the underworld fire from the loser's brain, but also take away some abilities related to the duel type. "

"Used in the magic duel, what is taken away is a part of the magic power and a part of the knowledge!"

"Angus Jeffrey, relying on the duels in the past few days, has taken away the magic power and knowledge of many duelists."

"If he is given enough time to accumulate and digest, he may become more difficult to deal with."

"In short, I call this kind of duel a dark duel!"

...

As Dak told the story, the other three finally realized the danger hidden under the magic duel.

Oli couldn't help but clench her fists. She was only one stage away from the young master, but she didn't notice the "duel field" unfolding at all. If the young master wasn't good enough, the consequences would be disastrous.

Pandora and Aurora also heard their eyebrows jump.

After a little regret, Pandora couldn't help but look into Hephis's eyes.

Originally, she didn't care about the "True Dragon Eye", but now she has more desire.

"Maybe I should seriously explore the mysteries contained in the dragon blood?"

While Pandora frowned and thought, Aurora also became worried about her own lack of ability.

Originally, she had a certain degree of confidence in her own ability, but after coming to the Duke's Mansion, that confidence became less and less.

She gritted her teeth and re-established the goal of hard work.

...

"Dark Duel?" After careful consideration, Alvette said worriedly.
