Chapter 26: Tristan and Isolde

Artoria, who was suspected of being moistened by Su Le, returned to her normal state, but it was actually a while...... It's already time to go up to the ninety-eighth floor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The boss of the 98th floor is Artoria's nightmare man, the legendary Knight of the Round Table, who betrayed his soul to demons and gained even greater power. Originally, if everyone went together, this person would not be enough, but Artoria had to fight him one-on-one and fair dueling.

In this way, it will be difficult for others to interfere, Su Le looked at Asami beside him, Artoria's most loyal friend, and whispered: "Just do what Your Majesty wants, but if there is any danger, you don't care about any fair duel, just go up and kill that man in seconds." ”

Su Le nodded to show that he understood, but he still reminded Asami in a low voice: "No matter how powerful I am, I can't kill that person in seconds, at most it's just a sure win." ”

"Huh? Can't you kill it in seconds? Isn't Artoria in danger? Asami said in surprise.

Su Le was helpless about her lover's accident, so in order to avoid her being too nervous, she could only comfort and say: "Don't worry, although it is not to the point of killing in seconds, I will not let Artoria have an accident." ”

The duel had begun, and the legendary black knight was heavily armored, helmeted, and armed with a large black sword, and his whole body was so tightly covered that he couldn't even see his face clearly.

Artoria was still in blue and normal armor, without a helmet, and was on the offensive with the holy sword Aixkeliba in both hands.

However, while fighting, Artoria's physical energy is consumed a lot, and the Black Knight's defense is airtight, even if she wears heavy armor, she has more stamina than Artoria.

Asami saw that the situation was not good, and urged Su Le to hurry up and help, and Su Le also wanted to do it, but seeing that Artoria was still thinking of a way, he hesitated and drew his sword and inserted it back.

"What are you doing? Hurry up! Asami complained.

"Wait, I'll be able to hold up with Artoria."

"I told you to go up, I'll be responsible for the consequences, in case Artoria has something to do with three long and two short, what will you compensate me?"

Su Le replied quietly: "It's okay, I'm measured, I'll give you my life if Artoria has one less hair, it's okay." ”

"What's the use of my life? If Artoria is defeated and dies, then I will die for you! Asami threatened.

"Good, good." Su Le smiled and said, "I didn't expect you and Artoria to have such a deep relationship, but I don't think you have a chance to be martyred." ”

The battle between Artoria and the Black Knight has changed, Artoria is not blindly attacking, but attacking and defending, and at the same time actively recovering her physical strength and mobilizing the opponent to consume physical strength.

In this way, the disadvantage of the black knight's heavy armor was exposed, since it was not a horse fight, he had a lot of trouble moving, but he was surrounded and couldn't wear it down, so he could only wait for the opportunity to attack.

Soon, Artoria seized the opportunity, gathered some magic power, and unleashed a skill similar to Su Lelei's fiery slash to knock the opponent's long sword away, and kicked him to the ground.

"Tell me where Gnavier is!" Artoria pointed her sword at the black knight on the ground.

The Black Knight gasped twice and replied, "I'll never tell you where Gnavier is." ”

The sound is very strange, not like the voice of a normal human, I don't know if it's the person's demonized voice, or the helmet comes with a voice-changing effect, in short, it gives people a very negative feeling.

Artoria knew that this man was a hard man, and he would never tell him where the queen was, and after sighing, Artoria killed this subordinate who had betrayed him with a sword.

PS: This chapter is not enough words, add a less related legend [Tristan and Isolde]

The story of Tristan and Isolde, first seen in medieval French legends, has been classified as chivalric literature in the study of literary history throughout history. The love story is said to have originated from an ancient Celtic legend based on a real-life Pictic king.

It is a pity that the original text of the legend has been lost. Based on the various surviving versions of the narrative and legend, we can roughly reconstruct the story of the lovers:

Tristan's parents died when he was very young, and he grew up in the court of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. According to many versions of legend, Tristan's father was a French nobleman, and his mother gave him the name "Tristan" before her death, which means "born in pain" (Trist means "sorrow" in French).

Growing up, Tristan became a brave knight, and in order to resist the Irish king's rampage against Cornwall, he rose to the occasion to duel with the Irish king's chief knight, Mahans, and eventually killed him. Tristan, however, was also seriously wounded, and was dying from the poison on Mahans's greatsword.

King Mark sought medical treatment in vain, so he had to put him in a small boat and drift down the river according to Tristan's wishes, leaving him to his fate. The waves carried Tristan to the Irish coast, where the young knight was spotted by the Irish princess, the blonde Isolde, and was soon well cared for by the princess and queen.

However, Mahans, who was killed by Tristan, was Isolde's uncle, and despite their admiration for each other, Isolde was able to let Tristan secretly return to England after a painful struggle.

When a man-eating dragon appeared in Ireland, the king of Ireland promised to marry his daughter as a reward to the dragon slayer hero in order to get rid of this monster. One day, King Mark dreamed that two swallows had brought a strand of blonde hair from his son Ireland, and he made a vow to marry Isolde, the blonde princess of Ireland.

In order to fulfill his uncle's wish, Tristan travels to Ireland to kill the dragon and win the princess. On the way back, Tristan and Isolde accidentally drink the love medicine prepared by the Queen of Ireland for the newlyweds, and they fall in love from then on.

Isolde is deeply in love with Tristan, and Tristan is burdened with responsibility to his uncle and the kingdom, as well as an attachment to Isolde. Eventually, Tristan returned Isolde to King Mark, and he sailed across the ocean to Brittany, where he married the daughter of the local duke, Isolde.

Later, when Tristan was seriously wounded again and was about to die, he begged his friend to go to Cornwall and invite Queen Isolde to Brittany to see him one last time. And it was agreed that if Isolde came, the returning ship would hang white sails, and if she couldn't, black sails.

In the days that followed, Tristan waited at the beach every day, and his condition deteriorated further, so he asked his wife, Isolde, to watch on his behalf...... When the blonde Isolde's ship finally appears on the horizon, the white-handed Isolde, out of jealousy, lies that the returning ship has a black sail, and Tristan immediately laments his tragic love and dies. When the blonde Isolde came ashore and saw the body of her lover, she also died of grief.

When King Mark learned of the death of his lovers, he immediately crossed the sea to Brittany, and personally supervised the construction of two coffins, one of agate for Isolde and the other for Tristan. The bodies of the two men were then transported back to the castle by boat and buried on the left and right sides of the apse of the chapel.

That night, Tristan's grave sprouted a verdant, fragrant ivy that climbed over the roof of the lobby and into the blonde Isolde's grave. The townsfolk cut off the vines, and the next day they grew again, still green, just as lush, just as vibrant, and still inserted into Isolde's bed.

So cut it three times, three times, and someone reported this miracle to King Mark, and the king ordered that it should be strictly forbidden, so that the two people who were in love with each other could rest in peace.
