On this day, the No. 7 National Middle School in Black Flame City was much more lively than ever, although it was summer vacation, the number of people who came to school today was several times more than usual.
The cattle of the graduating class, the juniors who rushed to the school when they heard the news, the boys and girls from other schools who were conducting survival trials in Black Flame City with Zhang Tie, the trial students from other schools who were curious to come when they heard the news, and all kinds of people, all came to the school in the afternoon.
The entire Seventh National Boys' High School in Black Flame City was crowded today, not only in the playground of the duel, but even in the corridor of the teaching building, it was crowded with people.
Barry and the others from the Brotherhood of Airplanes came, sixty-four brothers from the Grace Society who had formed an association in the mines, Pandora, Alice, Beverly, and nearly a thousand girls from the two girls' schools came, and teachers from several schools also came.
This duel was the first public duel in Black Flame City in recent decades, and it was also the first duel after Black Flame City was incorporated into the Norman Empire.
Something like a duel always attracts a lot of curious people, not to mention that such a thing happens around you, and no one wants to miss it.
Because there were too many people gathered in the school, the military management committee of Black Flame City also sent several teams of soldiers here to maintain order and prevent riots from happening after receiving the news.
For such a duel, even the military management committee of Black Flame City has no right to interfere, not only can it not interfere, but it must also ensure that such a duel must be carried out under the premise of openness and fairness.
The Andaman League did not allow duels, but duels were a very sacred and solemn thing in the Norman Empire, and all legal duels were protected by imperial law.
For example, the current duel of revenge of the family blood relatives brought about by the rules of the barbaric trial is not allowed to be interfered with.
From the gate of the school, the soldiers in dark red military uniforms and armor stood guard in various parts of the school with weapons, which suddenly made the duel serious and solemn.
Although there were a lot of people gathered in the school, no one was loud and noisy, and more people were just whispering their views and expectations about this duel, about the causes and consequences of this duel, when Zhang Tie twisted Zu Haier's neck in the cafeteria that day, Garnell and Shalon, who were scared to the core, had already confessed, and thousands of people listened to them personally admit that Zu Haier was the mastermind of a despicable and vicious scheme against Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie killed Zu Haier, just revenge, reasonable revenge, What's wrong with you killing someone who wants to kill him by despicable means Zuhair's death was not worthy of sympathy, so much so that when Zuhair's eldest brother Soder appeared at school, he was greeted by a burst of whispers and boos.
The only thing that makes people curious is why Grace, the most dazzling in the trial, disappeared in the trial Many people are speculating that maybe Grace and Zhang Tie have met somewhere, and then they were killed by Zhang Tie.
Because Zhang Tie never admitted that he killed Grace, this speculation cannot be confirmed.
And Zhang Tie's strength, in the hearts of many people, is only the standard of a second-level soldier, why did he kill the third-level Grace Some people thought of Zhang Tie's legendary terrible flying spear throwing stunt, perhaps, Zhang Tie relied on this hand throwing spear throwing stunt to kill Gres, if Zhang Tie's flying spear throwing stunt is really as powerful as the legend, even if he is only a second-level soldier, but to kill a third-level soldier, it will be very easy, a third-level soldier, Pierced by a flying spear falling from the sky, he was still going to die, and the strength and agility of a third-level soldier really didn't have much to be proud of in the face of such a throwing weapon.
But today's duel, Zhang Tie is not allowed to use flying spears and any throwing weapons, Zu Haier's brother is already a fourth-level soldier, a fourth-level soldier has to duel with a second-level, Dingtian at most three-level graduates who have just completed the trial, does Zhang Tie still have a chance to win When Soder appeared, everyone saw the duel weapon he was holding, the duel weapon that Soder chose was a standard standard spear in Black Flame City, the spear, which was more than two meters long, was made of all-steel, the head and body of the spear were thicker and heavier than the ordinary standard spear, and the weight of the spear was also more than thirty kilograms.
For a second-level or even third-level graduate, no matter what weapon he chooses, no matter how long or short, when facing a fourth-level soldier who is higher than himself in terms of level and strength, when using a long-handled weapon, in a duel, that graduate will not even have a chance to get close to the body of the fourth-level soldier and will be abused to death, this is the advantage of a long-handled weapon, one inch long, one inch strong, in the duel of people who have a huge disparity in their own strength, the advantage of a long-handled weapon is decisive.
Many people could see what Sood was thinking, so when Sood stood on the high platform in the middle of the school playground with his spear in his arms, the boos around him became louder.
The shamelessness and insidiousness of the two brothers of the Zuhair family are simply in the same vein.
Thord was unmoved, with a sneer on his face, just looking at the sun in the sky, waiting for the time when the duel would come.
The Norman duel time was generally fixed at two o'clock in the afternoon, not too early or too late, which was a Norman decree.
I heard that this is the wisdom that the Norman Empire learned from the East, because at this time the sun is the highest, and the light and yang energy between heaven and earth are the strongest, and those who die at this time will not form unjust spirits, and those who kill people will not be entangled by unjust spirits, so this time is the most suitable time for duels and execution of criminals.
Seeing Suod's confident appearance, many people who cared about Zhang Tie became worried, such as the people of the Divine Grace Society who didn't know Zhang Tie's recent situation.
"You say, will Zhang Tie be okay" Under the high platform occupied by the Grace Congregation, Potter whispered to Francis, the "fire bearer" with worry written on his face.
"The Enlightener will be fine, don't forget, he is the one who has been blessed and blessed by the Great Blessing Technique", Francis whispered, and the two whispered to each other in the crowd of the Divine Charity brothers, without worrying about being heard by the people around them, "I heard that many brothers can now feel a trace of the effect of the Great Blessing Technique, what is that feeling?"
"I don't know if this is the effect of the Great Blessing Technique, many brothers do feel more and more relaxed in their hearts lately, and there are often some joyful emotions in their hearts, and I have experienced this twice," Potter replied quietly.
"Then it won't be wrong, we have to have faith in the enlightener" The son of the gardener of Black Flame City nodded vigorously, there was some inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, the victim, this is his name, he feels that this name brings him an unprecedented noble feeling, others are not clear, but Francis can feel it, it seems that after obtaining this title, his life has slowly walked out of inferiority and narrow-mindedness, and he can now look at the misfortunes and sufferings that occur in life with another eye, The whole person has become more positive and more tolerant.
This trial was only a few days after returning home, and his family also felt the changes in him at once, and this time when he came back, whether he was beaten or scolded by his father who liked to drink all day, Francis did not reply again, did not look at his father angrily, but endured it silently, and did his best to do everything that a son could do for the family.
An unprecedented feeling arose in Francis's heart, and he found that after a man had made up his mind to become a "victim", and never again thought of himself, and only thought of others in everything, in his heart, slowly, a new and glorious self began to appear, just four days ago the night, his father had come back late after drinking outside, if it had been before, Francis would have quarreled with his father, and this time, he didn't, he just waited quietly at home," After self-sacrifice to become a simple son", when the father drunkenly began to knock on the door, Francis opened the door, helped his father to the house, and then cleaned the vomit for his father, washed his father's face, scrubbed his body, drank sobering soup, and served the prepared meal again, and his drunken father gave him a slap in the face, Francis was confused, but continued to be the "pure son without any personal thoughts".
Finally, while washing his father's feet, his father looked at him and suddenly began to shed tears, from that day on, until today, his father was like a different person, he never drank a drop of wine again, whenever he wanted to drink, his father would drink a small sip of vinegar, and use vinegar instead of wine, Francis's home had begun to change in just a few days, and all of this, Francis attributed to the effect of becoming a sacred "victim" in the sacred ritual in which he participated, Francis felt that he had understood a hint of the meaning of "victim".
Suod on the dueling stage had already urged the teachers who were dueling notaries to call Zhang Tie out several times.
And Zhang Tie never appeared.
Just when there were ten minutes before the duel began, and many people even thought that Zhang Tie didn't dare to come today and started whispering, Zhang Tie came, and no one expected Zhang Tie to appear in such a way Zhang Tie's arrival even caused a riot in the school Zhang Tie, who was wearing a heroic Norman multinational lieutenant training combat uniform, appeared at the gate of the school on the roof of a wheeled armored car, and behind the wheeled chariot, there were dozens of military vehicles loaded with soldiers of the iron-blooded battalion of the 39th Division, these military vehicles drove in and out from the school gate, until they reached the dueling platform in the school playground before stopping, and then, many people recognized the arrogant person sitting on the Norman armored car with the Norman Second Lieutenant rank insignia, It is Zhang Tie, the protagonist of today's duel Then all the people who watched the excitement were stupid, and the whole school fell silent in an instant:
