บท 219: Servant of the Axe - Code Duello

Chapter Type: Conflict(versus others)

Of course, I accepted.

"I choose Flavian sword and shield."

"Shields are not recognized by the Code Duello." The Cloud Maiden told me.

"Flavian swords, then."

"Coward.  I dare you to choose polearms." Farlaine said.

I spread my arms.  "Do I look like a pikeman?  Be glad I didn't choose skinning knives."

"ALSO not recognized by the Code Duello.  Do we have two Flavian blades present?"

"I have one." I pulled it out of inventory. 

She looked at me as though I'd just farted in public.  "Do we have two blades of similar quality and make?"

There was, in fact, only a silvered blade, obviously enruned to keep the edge sharp.  Turns out Itinar swords aren't the preferred choice of Neonen aristocrats.

"I believe I get to choose the specific blade?" Farlaine asked.

She nodded.

"Before we begin, there is a matter of seconds."

"What is that?" Farlaine asked.
