Chapter 1062 - 508: Duel Between Men
Herbert expressed confusion and was greatly shocked.
He pondered for a moment and turned to ask another mummy, "Knight Commander, do you have anything to say? Why are you guys fighting? Is there some hidden reason behind this?"
Without even turning his head, the Knight Commander gave a very brief and forceful answer.
He said:
"Because he is a dumbass."
This noble-born Holy Professional gave a reason that was overly blunt and crude.
Because he is a dumbass.
The Knight Commander’s reason... is truly one that leaves people speechless.
Herbert thought about it and realized that if he encountered a dumbass, he really wouldn’t be able to solve it with any method other than violence.
However, clearly, not everyone agreed with this assessment.
The Chief Judge definitely couldn’t agree with such a statement. Furious, he strained against the severe pain, struggling to turn his body, and started arguing with the Knight Commander.
"What did you say!!? That’s slander! You’re the one who is... Gah!"
And to Herbert’s surprise, the usually calm Knight Commander seemed to have let his blood boil as well. Grinning and bearing the pain, he turned his body around and fearlessly started yelling back.
"Slander? Ha! Aren’t you one?"
"I am not!"
Stuck in between, Herbert looked to the left, glanced to the right, wanting to intervene but not knowing what to say, so he could only symbolically make a couple of stopping gestures.
"Uh... you two, stop arguing, this won’t solve anything..."
In the end, he simply shut his mouth, pocketed his hands, and silently watched the two of them passionately hurl insults at each other.
Meanwhile, he secretly activated the Memory Stone to capture this rare scene, unable to help but marvel internally.
So, is this your intimate way of expressing affection?
Uh oh.
I kind of ship you two.
...
...
After a while, Herbert, having had his fill of amusement, finally forcefully separated the two before approaching the Guardian.
While sharing the exciting footage he’d just recorded, he curiously asked, "So, why are those two fighting?"
Ophidia looked at the idiotic pair still having energy to bicker in the footage, snorted coldly, and said blandly, "Those two? That’s normal."
"In fact, the fact that they managed to stay quiet for decades already exceeded my expectations."
"Ever since they became Cardinals, they endured a little, managed not to embarrass too badly."
Were they always like this?
Herbert blinked, puzzled, "Then why are they not holding back now? What changed?"
"Why? You don’t know?"
Ophidia glanced over at a bewildered Herbert, curled her lips, and said, "Of course because of you."
"Now that you’ve become Legendary, and you’re about to rise successfully, naturally you can take over the Cardinal’s position."
?
Wait a minute, something doesn’t seem quite right.
Hearing this, Herbert’s eyes gradually widened, vaguely guessing a possibility.
"Wait, are you saying..."
Ophidia’s lips curled up slightly, watching the formerly naive boy who thought he was in the clear, nodding slowly, she said:
"You guessed it correctly. This time, they scheduled a duel to determine a winner and loser."
"The winner gets to let you take over his position."
???
Herbert finally understood.
And then he got absolutely furious!
No, bud!!?
What happened to mutual understanding?
What about love and peace?
What about the duel between men!!?
Damn it.
I was wondering why you were fighting so fiercely...
Turns out it was all about slacking off!!!
More importantly, have you guys forgotten something?
What about my opinion?
Is no one going to care about what I think?
"I disagree!!!"
Neither of you, don’t think you can escape!
