If he hadn't used the shield's elasticity to pull himself away and jump back, looking at the half-deep gap in the giant sword, he would have been cut in two in a few seconds.

Custer rushed forward to support. He didn't dare take the black-robed man's sword head-on. Instead, he used his warhammer with skill, quickly striking the two swords with it, deflecting them. He then pulled Rusalka back a few meters, out of range. "Lord, be careful! This is the power of the Rust Demon. It's extremely corrosive and destructive to ordinary equipment. Only enchanted equipment can resist its corrosion."

"Enchantment, right?"

Rusalka, having learned from her mistakes, nodded, then quickly reached out with the hand that was holding the shield and wiped the sword.

A pale golden sacred light burst out from the greatsword, and a strong holy light power surged on the sword.

Second-ring magic, sacred weapon.

Although this spell is very useless in the game, not only does it require concentration to maintain, but the effect it provides is just a +1 judgment and damage gain, which is better than nothing. Most players will not choose this useless spell when choosing a concentration spell.

But now, this weapon emitting a faint glow made the originally expressionless black-robed man's eyes reveal a hint of deep fear. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Such a fast enchantment is at the level of a captain. This is one of the reasons why I hate those lunatics like Esdi. They will never stay where they are supposed to be. Mr. Dai Luo, I want more money."

Dai Luo yelled, "You're breaking your promise and raising the price!"

Pavis said slowly, "To deal with a Paladin of his strength, I'll have to use all my strength. Mr. Merchant, you have to understand that no matter how much money you have, it's useless once the person dies. This goes for both you and me."

Dai Luo gritted his teeth and said, "700 gold coins. I will pay you the extra 200 gold coins in installments. No more."

Paiweisi slowly untied his black robe, revealing a belt covered with small medicine bottles and scrolls. He then quickly picked up a bottle of blue potion and drank it. "Okay, deal."

An indescribable magical wave surged from his body, and the swords he held in his hands were slowly melted by the evil energy, and finally turned into two pure green magical swords. The light armor on his body flickered, revealing the green runes engraved on it.

A light green energy gathered and spread around him, even affecting Herlit beside him. After absorbing the green energy, he not only felt his strength being drained, but even the giant sword in his hand began to be stained with rust, forcing him to take Dai Luo away from Pavis.

Rusalka: (What is that? Liquid Viagra?)

Sanita: (Recover mana, it looks like he's about to use his ultimate.)

Rusalka: (Using your ultimate before the second stage?)

Sanita: (Do you think you're playing an RPG? Using all your strength from the start is not only a respect for yourself, but also a respect for your own life. Use your ultimate whenever you can. This is reality.)

"Come on, hypocrite!" Pavis rushed over in an instant.

Rusalka raised her greatsword to block a green lightsaber. The golden light instantly wrapped around and burned the dark green evil energy, causing the color of the energy sword to dim instantly. Even the energy field around Pavis shrank a little.

Custer did not miss the opportunity to fight two at once, and moved to the opponent's left side and swung his hammer.

However, Pavis ignored Caster's attack and did not immediately pull out the weapon burned by the holy light. Instead, he took a heavy blow and groaned while swinging the second lightsaber in his hand to sweep through the gap in the defense under Rusalka.

Rusalka reacted quickly and immediately stretched out the shield in her left hand to try to block, but she didn't expect that the lightsaber would cut the shield in half like tofu without any hindrance and directly hit Rusalka's abdomen.

"Lord Lord!"

I thought the scene of disembowelment did not happen. The lightsaber only hit the armor on Rusalka's body and could not advance any further.

"Oh, this damn inferior shield." Rusalka complained.

From his perspective, his health was reduced by 15 points by this attack. As if to make his presence felt and tell him that the resistance skill was not in vain, a prompt popped up after the damage number indicating that he was immune to corrosion damage.

This attack could have put Sanita's health at risk with just one strike, but for Rusalka, it was only less than a quarter of her health.

Knowing all this, Sanita was only nervous for a moment, but after seeing Rushaka complaining in the private chat channel about the opponent's ridiculously high basic attack damage, he finally felt relieved.

Well, a creature that could take out 66 HP with one blow might exist, but at least it wouldn't exist in this small barony.

While the opponent was stunned, the cautious Rusalka continued to heal himself with Holy Healing to keep himself at full health. Unfortunately, he had to stay focused while recovering his health, so by the time he had recovered his health and was ready to counterattack, the opponent had already retreated and distanced himself from him.

At this moment, Pavis confirmed something that annoyed him greatly: the opponent was not only a holy warrior whose power was stronger than his, but also possessed a high-quality magic armor.

After this move, he was no longer thinking about money.

If Caster released the holy light at this time, he would definitely give up the merchant's life on the spot without saying a word, so that he could quickly escape from this deadly duel field.

But if Rusalka is the only paladin, and he doesn't seem to be familiar with his own power, a 2v2 fight is still worth trying.

Paiweisi said coldly to Helit, "You red-haired guy over there, stop watching the show. Go and take care of that warrior. I'll deal with this paladin."

The businessman shouted anxiously: "If you transfer him away, what about my safety?"

Paiweisi said coldly: "I can't deal with two people at the same time. If I die, you will not live either."

Looking at Rusalka and Caster rushing up again, Herlit gritted his teeth and had no choice but to fight Caster.

Although Kaster no longer had the protection of the Holy Light, the fighting skills he had trained since childhood were engraved in his memory. They were completely his own strength. While swinging the warhammer in his hand, he could even switch from two hands to one hand at any time, pull out the dagger on his left hand to perform a dual-wielding attack. For a while, Helit could only passively defend with his sword horizontally, and had no chance to fight back.

The battle between Rusalka and Pavis was also rather awkward. Rusalka was good at swinging her sword vigorously, but Pavis, who had suffered losses before, obviously didn't buy it. He dodged left and right and ignored the attack. Occasionally, when Rusalka swung her sword too much and left a gap, he would come up, swing the sword in his hand, and shoot an energy bomb at Rusalka.

Sometimes Rusalka would deliberately expose a flaw, and he would be so cautious as to launch a small-power long-range attack. No matter what, he dared not enter Rusalka's optimal attack range. 5 points, 5 points, such small damages kept harassing him, and destroyed Rusalka's 20 points of holy healing pool reserves, but he could not find any opportunity to exchange blood, which made him a little irritated.

But Rusalka also had his own way. While being beaten, he quietly threw away his shield, pretended to be helpless, and turned around and rushed towards the merchant Dai Luo.

"Oh damn!"

Dai Luo also has his own way of saving his life. After the ring on his hand flashed, his body actually flew up and stayed in the air. The flying technique lasted for a full 100 seconds.

This time Rusalka missed the target, so she turned around, swung her sword to force Pavis back, and then jumped back to create some distance.

Wait, keep your distance?

Pavis realized the problem, but at this time Rusalka had already raised her empty left hand and pointed her palm at Dai Luo in the air.

"President, be careful!"

The moment he shouted, a dark green laser suddenly shot out from Rusalka's palm and hit Dai Luo in the air.

Magic Explosion is the most direct and effective long-range attack method of the Warlock. At low levels, its damage in the game is not high.

However, this is the reality, and the extremely fast firing speed of the magic energy explosion laser instantly makes up for the lack of power, making it an alternative existence that completely surpasses magic such as fire arrows, ice arrows, and acid balls.

Dai Luo was hit instantly without reacting, but he did not fall down because of the light transparent barrier around him that absorbed the damage for him.

This should not be a one-ring shield spell, but the effect of magic equipment, because the glowing rune characters on his robe are gradually fading away with time. It is estimated that when the characters disappear completely, this one-time life-saving shield will also disappear. However, it did play a life-saving role, allowing the frightened Dai Luo to fly away hurriedly.

"Tsk."

After the attack, Pavis's face was filled with shock, and he shouted, "You are obviously a Paladin, and you can actually use evil..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly realized that his voice had disappeared. His throat was clearly vibrating and he was making sounds, but he could not hear anything.

It's Silence! There's another spellcaster here!

The guy who had been watching the show from the sidelines turned out to be a mage!

But he no longer had the chance to tip off, because Sanita had begun to take it a little more seriously. He first gave Rusalka a poet's encouragement, and then secretly cast a blessing spell on him. Under his command, Rusalka launched a completely defenseless and desperate attack on Pavis.

Sanita: (Oh my god, thank goodness you pulled me here. Thankfully, Caster and Herlit, who were engaged in a fierce battle in the distance, didn't notice anything unusual here, and the onlookers didn't understand magic at all, well, at least they didn't understand fel energy. Brother Xiao, if you don't want to be put on the test bench or be judged as a heretic by the church, I hope that within the duration and effective range of this Silence spell, you can silence this guy in front of you forever.)

Rusalka: (Don't worry, I'm serious.)

Pavis gritted his teeth and tried to retreat out of the range of the silencing spell, but Rusalka raised her palm and aimed at him instantly, causing him to subconsciously dodge to the side.

However, the next second, Rusalka disappeared without a trace from his sight. This sudden change made Pavis feel terrified.

It's spatial magic. This guy actually has this kind of talent! He's definitely not just a simple Paladin!

If he had known that Rusalka could teleport, he would never have chosen to be her enemy. After all, in the indigenous worldview of this world, space and time are the two pinnacle concepts in the magical world. Only extremely rare geniuses can master the secrets. Anyone who can use these two powers is at the top of the pyramid.

Even if it is not now, it will definitely be in the future as long as it does not die prematurely.

But it was too late to regret. A great sword had already pierced his back. The burning pain caused by the tip of the sword made of holy light entering his body made him react subconsciously and open his mouth to chant. However, the effect of the silencing spell prevented him from uttering any useful syllables.

In desperation, he could only crush the bottle at his waist. The liquid in the bottle instantly covered his body with a layer of lime. The sword blade encountered an obstacle, which seemed to be some kind of magic to enhance defense.

However, this was useless, as holy light burst out violently at his wound, instantly burning away the green mist on his body.

"Holy Slash!"

This strong holy light caused him to be seriously injured instantly, but the powerful evil energy helped him to survive. At the same time, he had no intention of fighting back and only wanted to escape to the right front with all his strength.

This judgment is correct under normal circumstances. Rusalka uses a heavy sword and cannot perform combos in a short period of time. As long as she escapes the range of the silence spell, she can chant spells to distance herself, and then drink potions to recover from her injuries...

However, Rusalka immediately kicked him in the calf.

The kick to the calf was not fatal at all, but what was fatal was the holy light that burst out from his toes.

The holy light burst out for the second time, accompanied by a silent scream. The surface of Pavis's body exploded, and the sacred flames burned his body into charcoal, and he slowly fell to the ground.

That's right, the Holy Slash can only be triggered when using weapons to attack. Simply punching and kicking will definitely not be able to add the Holy Slash.

But on the other hand, as long as a weapon is used, it can be triggered if it hits. That's the logic, right?

Rusalka, who was under the silencing spell, laughed silently, raised the short spikes on the tip of her shoes, hooked her toes to put the spikes back into her boots, and then kicked the corpse away.

This not only scared the businessmen out of their wits, but also shocked the Sunny Tower.

Not only the shoes, but also Rusalka's elbows, leg armor, and even the front of the helmet are equipped with hidden spring spikes. Just a slight touch of the mechanism will pop out the short spikes. The purpose is to give the opponent a Holy Slash when the opponent is caught off guard.

No matter what environment it is in, it can adapt quickly, quickly find loopholes in the rules and exploit them.

This is what it means to be a strong man.

Rusalka: (Dude, this is reality. No one says you can't attach weapons to your shoes. Remember this in your next life: never leave your back to a paladin.)

Sanita: (But the Paladin's sneak attack is a bit... Okay, I admit, for combat, you need at least 20 Intelligence.)

Rusalka: (This is the PL's wisdom. I was saying that attributes are useless.)

Sanita: (Your daily intelligence is -15, so the total intelligence is exactly 5.)

Rusalka: (It never ends, does it?)

Chapter 20 PL Law

"I surrender!"

After Pavis died, Herlit immediately shouted surrender, and Caster was also a stupid guy. When he heard the other side surrender, he actually stopped and slowly took two steps back.

Fortunately, Herit did not break his promise. It would be more accurate to say that he did not dare to risk his life by launching a sneak attack. He simply dropped his weapon and stopped.

"Respected Lord Rusalka, I completely surrender to you. If you are willing to reconcile, the mining rights to this mine will be completely transferred to you, and all output will belong to the Pearl Tear Territory. Not only that, as additional compensation, I will have the Kate Chamber of Commerce provide you with some war supplies to help you more efficiently resolve the dispute with the Ropa Territory."

At this time, face and wealth are no longer important. As long as Rusalka is willing to reconcile, Dai Luo is willing to meet all the previous conditions.

He even took the initiative to offer additional advice, telling him that "living people are more useful than dead people" in order to dispel the other party's idea of ​​killing him to win the duel.

Dai Luo's heart sank when he saw Rusalka didn't answer. He hurriedly said, "Respected Lord Rusalka, you can rest assured. The oaths taken in the Divine Judgment Tournament are supervised by the gods and cannot be violated. Therefore, everything I say is sincere and I can do it."

At this time, Rusalka's best solution is indeed reconciliation. Although Kate's Chamber of Commerce will definitely retaliate later, it will take more than one or two days to gather and incite enough people to retaliate against the Pearl Tear Territory. It will take months or even years, and these supplies will indeed be provided to the Pearl Tear Territory quickly.

But what he didn't count on was that Rusalka really didn't want to reconcile.

There are indeed many reasons not to kill Dai Luo, but as a PL, there is only one reason to kill Dai Luo: I don't like him.

This guy was barking wildly "across the Internet" just now, with an arrogant look of "What can you do to me", but now he knows how to surrender when he is about to die.

Why did you go early?

Rusalka doesn't tolerate keyboard warriors from another world. No matter who you are, death is the most equal judgment.

Seeing Rusalka pick up the giant sword with a sneer and no intention of agreeing, Dai Luo, who felt that he had no irreconcilable hatred with the other party, was puzzled.

Aren't nobles always motivated by family interests? Why would he kill me?

But Rusalka didn't seem to want to negotiate, which made Dai Luo feel depressed. He could only helplessly reach out and fumble for the props he had on him to see if he could make a desperate attempt.

At this moment, Sanita on the side said:

"500 gold coins, of which 300 gold coins are the transfer fee for part of the mining rights, 200 gold coins are compensation, and we need to collect 50% of the total amount of mined ore, or 40% of the equipment output generated by the ore. The rest is for your chamber of commerce to distribute freely.

In addition, we need your Chamber of Commerce to provide some craftsmen with long-term employment contracts, or to recruit more civilians willing to join the Pearl Tear Territory. The number is not large, about 200, including at least 10 craftsmen.

You will reimburse these people's travel expenses before they arrive at Zhulei Territory. After the handover is completed, we will cover their living expenses and wages, etc."

This is simply a lion's mouth! Although they still left them some benefits, the subsequent population resources are simply a naked robbery.

But Dai Luo had no room to refuse, because what he saw in Rusalka's eyes was not the dilemma of ordinary nobles when calculating interests, but the dilemma between "killing and not killing".

When he looked at the Sani Tower, the deep dissatisfaction on his face was real. If he refused, he would be happy to kill himself.

He was a complete lunatic who didn't care about gains and losses at all! An outlier among the nobles!

Although he didn't know why a lord would listen to the guards' advice, this was undoubtedly his last chance to save his life.

"I agree to these requests, but you must swear that after we deliver all these things, there will be no more ties between our Kate Chamber of Commerce and the Pearl Tear Territory. We are both clear."

Rusalka was definitely dissatisfied. He privately chatted with Sanita: "Do you really believe he'll forgive us? Brother, he'll definitely come after us after we're even. Who knows if the Divine Judgment Battle will work again? Even if it does, I have a feeling it's not a good thing." The gaze and the dice-rolling sounds gave me the creeps. I didn't want to be targeted by this celestial entity the next time I activated it.

And I don't understand, why not just kill him now and put an end to it? Haven't we already torn ties with the Kate Chamber of Commerce? Businessmen are all about profit. Maybe the next president could still offer a chance for cooperation and repairing the relationship, but if he's alive, repairing the relationship is absolutely impossible.

Sanita: (Because this is reality. Killing him, for us, apart from a few insignificant experience points and half of the mine that we have no ability to develop, we actually get nothing. We have made an enemy for nothing.

Since this inexplicable divine judgment battle has already caused us to become enemies with the Kate Chamber of Commerce, we must convert this risk into equivalent resource income to compensate.
