The man was about forty years of age, with thick black eyebrows, melancholy and energetic eyes, thin cheeks, and spoke the Aushoish language of northern Franconia, and his emotions were a little too strong and sharp. Gawain got up and looked at him, and then looked at his sword grip and figure, and could conclude that although this man was wearing fine armor, he was obviously not a person who was deeply versed in martial arts.

Then, Gawain's eyes moved down, and he actually saw a white swan embroidered on the challenger's robe.

"The contest is over, and I've won." Gawain only knew that Anna had mentioned the swan knight's gossip, but he didn't know what the details were, and he didn't bother to dwell on it any longer.

"Although you have just rescued your comrades-in-arms and bravely killed Count Arnault, I fully admire your courage, and indeed worthy of chivalry, but after all, you are only a subordinate deputy, and Count Arno is a noble person canonized by our Majesty, a soldier, can not kill a noble nobleman!" The black-eyed swan knight spoke.

Gawain sneered in his heart, "Why can't a soldier kill a nobleman?" But he didn't want to reason with the obviously neurotic fellow, so he picked up Mikhail's sword again, pointed at him and said, "According to the most reasonable schedule, whoever plays, as long as they knock down the opponent's player, and our Emperor's chief of guard was knocked down by disease, so there is no doubt that the Emperor's side will win this race." ”

At this time, the great eunuch and the emperor's brother Isaac both recognized Gawain, among whom Isaac was as if he was sick, and rubbed his face repeatedly with his fingers uneasily, but the great eunuch Nikedemia was much calmer, he copied his hands, thought for a while, and then stretched out his body, leaned over to the emperor in the front seat, and whispered a few words.

Then, the Emperor's expression gradually calmed down, and he pinched the ruby ring on his finger, and said to Wittling, "Please let this brave lord stop, since the contest has already been decided, there is no need for bloodshed because of the battle between the two warriors." ”

Witterling nodded, and stood up and shouted to the black-eyed swan knight, "Godfrey of Bouillon"

But at the same time as this sound was made, Godfrey was already angry, and got up and stabbed Gawain with his sword, Gawain slammed down with Mikhail's sword, and Godfrey staggered forward, and even the saber was knocked to the ground, and then he gasped, and cried out in frustration, ready to lower his hand to pick it up, but Gawain's sword was against his forehead in a blink of an eye.

Godfrey slowly stepped back, and Gawain, who was wielding the sword, continued to push forward without expression.

"Count Godfrey from Bouillon, there's no need to fight anymore, this is not a deputy, his name is Stephen. Gawain, my chief of guard, a nobleman with a sword, and the commander of the Count of the Expeditionary Force who is about to leave for Amalfi City. Emperor Alexios sat down in his seat and shouted below.

Godfrey raised his hands and Gawain withdrew his sword, took the sword of the Count of Bouillon, and threw it at him, and then each of them stepped back seven feet, "You Greeks are weak with their swords, and they cannot defend Christianity. Gawain heard it, and although Godfrey was defeated, he still said this viciously, but fortunately Alexios did not hear it, otherwise this title would have made the emperor angry and would have destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

In the theater's samurai competition, Count Arno died, and the Byzantine emperor won both face and diplomacy.

Then, in the palace next to the theater, Alexios "specially requested" to summon Gawain, who had performed well.

The Empress, the Vice-Empress, Augustus, the younger brother Sebastoclat, the prince and the eldest princess surrounded the Emperor with a purple crown, and the royal figures of the Komnenos were surrounded by a larger circle of guards and eunuchs holding flags, scepters and swords.

It's like a Byzantine-style mosaic, but Gawain doesn't like this kind of painting, he has seen it, but he just doesn't like it: in order to show the so-called majesty, and the religious influence, the faces of the characters are stiffened and the lines are roughened, to highlight the aura created by the same rough strokes, and the perimeter is set off with gorgeous and exaggerated materials, and it is not the figures that occupy the core of the picture, not the delicate emotional depictions, but the utilitarian power that longs to subdue you and persuade you to soften you.

At this time, Gao Wen, who knelt down on one knee in chain mail in front of the emperor, raised his eyes and looked at Anna, who was also standing in the "picture", this little girl was also wearing a heavy crown, caged her sleeves, and the beads covered her forehead, her expression was also solidified, and her skin was cold and white, indeed just like a princess, not like a girl, and she was not as cute as she was when she was with her.

Then, while no one was looking at her, Anna still winked mischievously at Gawain, and in an instant her face became serious again.

And Alexios, who also looked at Gawain, had mixed feelings in his heart, in the past, in the Brachna Palace, when he met this Varyag barbarian, he personally gave him a purple scarf, but at that time Gawain's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't distinguish the other party's face.

Now, in the hall, under the flickering candlelight, the Emperor saw Gawain's face clearly, and then he read the words that the imperial brother reminded him, "You really look like Lusail, not in appearance, but in form and temperament." ”

Gawain did not answer the emperor's ambiguous question for what purpose, but took the red hand flag from the hand of Theognes next to him and handed it to Yagfei, who bowed his head solemnly, and then the commander of the inner palace garrison slowly spread out in front of Alexios's eyes.

As a result, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned red, "Are you here to tell me that Farov was killed in battle and the Red Hand detachment was destroyed?" ”

"Yes, I am the only servant, and I rushed out with the remnants of more than twenty men, and returned to Gallipoli with the guards and the defeated army of Nicaea." Govin stared.

"What Farov wants to tell me, I have already seen it." Alexios stood on the steps, trying not to make an excited expression on his face, "Gawain you behaved well, then now you tell me, who is to blame for the fiasco in Nicaea Canyon?" ”

This is a huge problem, but it is also a problem that Gawain has long anticipated, he knows that the emperor will inevitably ask him, and at this moment Isaac's eyes are like thorns on Gawain, and Anna also frequently glances at him, meaning that he must not talk nonsense and provoke his father's displeasure.

"Your Majesty, it was the warden who rebelled first, and the pagan dogs of Konya who betrayed the alliance later, and our army was ambushed." At this moment, Diognis, who was kneeling beside him, cried out loudly, hoping to cover up the unpleasant subject.

"Shut up, I didn't ask you." Alexios coldly interrupted the captor, and then continued to focus on Gawain, who was silent.
