Charles stopped outside Seagull City, sending Dobin and Yellow Bear to notify Baron Valentine.
He did not wish to et the Baron and even felt embarrassed about the matter.
Charles hoped that Baron Valentine would hand over the Knighthood so he could return to Krel to report, trying to make the matter as simple as possible.
After Dobin and Yellow Bear had left, they returned in half an hour, both forcibly shaved bald and bearing a ssage, "Tell Charles to wash his ass clean!"
This was initially just a simple threat, but for a mont, Charles thought his affair with the Baron's wife and daughter had been exposed.
After repeatedly inquiring about the details, he confird that it had nothing to do with Baron Valentine at present; the Baron was still "completely oblivious," and soone else was furious.
The one who ordered Dobin and Yellow Bear to be held down and shaved bald was a Knight Captain under Baron Valentine, Freeman Simon Qing Martin. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
This Knight Captain, Freeman Simon Qing Martin, was highly dishonorable. Upon entering Seagull City, Dobin and Yellow Bear were surrounded by his orders, and under the threat of hundreds of rifles, they could not resist and were humiliatingly pinned to the ground and shaved bald.
This incident left Charles feeling helpless.
Freeman Simon Qing Martin was the man who, years ago, caused Mister Charles cklen to run wildly through the streets in an embarrassing manner. At that ti, Freeman Simon Qing Martin was a middle-ranking officer in the Mostar Fort Knighthood; Charles had not expected that Mister Martin would have returned to his hotown and now served under Baron Valentine.
Well, if it weren't for Freeman Simon Qing Martin's family being in Seagull City, destroying their affairs at Mostar Fort, that incident wouldn't have happened.
Normally, Mister Charles cklen was very cautious in his actions.
For instance, Baron Valentine was still completely unaware of the situation.
Dobin and Yellow Bear were extrely angry, viewing the incident as a supre humiliation and strongly demanding that Charles imdiately order an attack on the city.
Even though Charles was "insane," he would not kindle the flas of war against his own hotown, especially since he was a peace-loving person. Thus, after hesitating for a few minutes, he had his subordinates find a set of bow and arrow. Despite the rise of firearms making bows nearly obsolete, many still favored this ancient long-range weapon. He shot a challenge letter into the city.
Charles hoped to resolve the issue of Seagull City through a duel rather than war.
Less than half an hour after the challenge letter entered Seagull City, a squad of soldiers burst out of the city gates. Leading them was a big bearded man wielding a rapier, with a ghastly pale blue face and body brimming with fighting spirit, who bellowed at the top of his lungs, "Charles, you bastard born of a bitch, co out and die."
Charles had not expected the challenge letter to have such a quick effect.
He was even more surprised that Mister Freeman Simon Qing Martin had also beco Transcendent.
If Mister Martin had possessed the strength of a Transcendent back then, Charles would likely have not survived to leave Seagull City and attend university in Strasbourg without the intervention of the Evil God.
Charles took a deep breath. The past was always there to confront. He galloped away from his troops, saying, "Been a while, Mister Freeman Simon Qing Martin."
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers behind Freeman Simon Qing Martin burst out laughing.
There was no helping it, as the incidents involving Charles and Freeman Simon Qing Martin were almost universally known in Seagull City.
This matter is just that funny.
Even the soldiers of Seagull City didn't take the threats of the Westwind Knights seriously, and Charles couldn't show off his prestige in his own hotown however famous he might be in Behemoth Duchy.
Nobody believed Charles would attack Seagull City, where his father, brother, and family lived.
Charles was at least shielded by a layer of 'transmigrator' skin and managed to hold up, but Freeman Simon Qing Martin could not contain himself, and he didn't look back, mainly because he was too embarrassed to.
Mister Martin clenched his teeth, swung his rapier, and charged at Charles.
Charles pointed at Collapsing Mountain and said, "I'll dismount first!"
Freeman Simon Qing Martin seed insulted by these words, and with a roar, his speed suddenly increased by ten percent.
Only then did Charles rember that he had said sothing similar the first ti he t Freeman Simon Qing Martin.
He didn't an it, it's just…
He genuinely didn't want to think too much about the past.
Freeman Simon Qing Martin was middle-aged when he, stimulated by "sothing," suddenly broke through life's limits and beca a Transcendent, but due to his age, after becoming a First Order Knight, he had no hope of being promoted again.
Although his combat power surged to 200% due to anger, the gap between him and Charles was just too wide. Facing such a flawed swordsmanship, Charles only needed to press down with his Knight's Spear to throw Freeman Simon Qing Martin to the ground.
Charles was too embarrassed to hit him hard.
Freeman Simon Qing Martin rolled over and got up, still swinging his rapier furiously. His swordsmanship was about the sa as Charles cklen's at the beginning, barely passing the National Academy swordsmanship class. Now, Charles, after nurous trials, had beco proficient in both swordsmanship and gunmanship. Although he still did not excel in close combat—he was better at long-range attacks—he had no difficulty handling such a diocre opponent.
With a twist and a wrap of his Knight's Spear, Charles flipped Freeman Simon Qing Martin over again.
After exchanging dozens of moves, Charles threw his opponent several tis, and although Freeman Simon Qing Martin still wanted to bravely fight again, the Serpent of Destiny wouldn't allow it. Exhausted, he lay on the ground, cursing loudly.
Charles shouted to Freeman Simon Qing Martin's soldiers, "Aren't you going to help your captain up?"
These soldiers indeed sporadically ca forward, helped Freeman Simon Qing Martin up, and kept advising their officer, "It's all in the past, and you can't beat him. Charles even went to Strasbourg University, now he's the toughest man in all of Behemoth…"
Freeman Simon Qing Martin roared, "The toughest my ass! That coward who I chased around the streets with just a rapier, running bare-assed."
Charles almost wanted to order the n of the Westwind Knights to cover their ears, but it was probably too late.
He took a deep breath, recalling the rapid docunts Anne had prepared for him, and decided to write another book as soon as he turned around, featuring Freeman Simon Qing Martin as the protagonist, letting this gentleman, who lived sowhat stifled in reality, thoroughly enjoy himself in the ocean of words.
This book must use the angry Bunana as a pen na, and it must be published in Behemoth without Anne's knowledge.
Freeman Simon Qing Martin didn't know yet that he would beco forever renowned, intimidating the literary circles of the New and Old Continents, and becoming one of the cultural symbols of the Fars Empire. After vociferously cursing Charles for a while, and knowing there was nothing he could do as the other was now stronger and ca with a thousand-strong knighthood, he could only curse and walk back to Seagull City with help from his soldiers.
