Chapter 18: I will fight you in a duel

On the shores of the Navia Peninsula, a boat covered with flowers is parked on the shore, and a shelf is erected on the boat, and countless flowers form a flower boat, which is of different colors and sizes, but when combined from a distance, it is so luxurious.

The crowd cheered from time to time, all congratulating the princess-like Linda, who was married to the daughter of the Count of Rolf.

Ramqvist walked up to Linda's side with a huge bald head and an ugly old face smiling like a flower, and at this moment Linda was supported by her mother Ainar, and one of her hands was held by her father Rolf, ready to be entrusted to her future son-in-law.

Linda's face was expressionless, and her whole person was like a puppet, following the movements of her parents, she entrusted her delicate little hand to the man in front of her who was the same age as her father.

When the surrounding crowd was witnessing the moment of happiness, suddenly, a person appeared in the field, his whole person was covered by a black cloak, and his age and his appearance could not be seen.

"Wait! Why didn't you notify me when you were so happy to get married? A young man's voice came from under the cloak, and Ainar felt her daughter's hands tremble abruptly at the sound of the voice.

As his words fell, the cloak was lifted, revealing a handsome face.

"Evan! Evan! It's Evan! ”

Seeing the familiar face, the crowd around them let out an exclamation.

It was Evan who came, and when he spoke, Rolf's eyes became fierce, and his murderous aura filled his body, and his face seemed to be able to condense into ice.

"Someone! Get him! ”

Before Rolf could speak, Knut, the butler, who was standing not far behind the Count, gave an anxious order.

The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but retreat, and a large open space was vacated around Evan, who was already surrounded by guards with shields and axes in their hands, waiting for Rolf's order to kill the young man in front of him.

"What about Olaf? Tell him to come out too, right? "Rolf is not in a hurry to kill Evan now, he is already under control, and he Rolf will not make the same mistake a second time.

He now looked at the dense crowd and wanted to find traces of Olaf in it, he didn't believe that Olaf would leave this little cub to die alone, and with what he knew about Olaf over the years, this would never happen.

As Rolf asks Evan about his adoptive father, there are signs of unrest in the crowd, and people look at each other in the hope of spotting Olaf's traces.

"Ha Lu Ha ......! Dear Earl, are you so welcoming friends who have come to bless your noble daughter? Is this your hospitality? Isn't it enough for me to come alone? Evan said to the Count with a loud smile as if he was in danger!

"I'll kill you right now!" After looking around for a long time, to make sure that Evan was really the only one who came, Rolf was a little surprised in his heart, but when he heard Evan's ridicule, he jumped out angrily, and let go of the hand holding Linda with a loud roar, forgetting to complete the last step, and drew his sword! The one who strode was about to come and kill Evan.

"Wait! Completion of the ceremony is being said! Seeing a hint of anger flashing in the eyes of her son-in-law Ramqvist, Ainar grabbed her angry husband and shook her head gently at him.

"Take him down to me first!" Seeing her husband standing still, Ainar trembled with anger, wondering if it was because of anger, Rolf understood what he meant, and commanded loudly to the guards.

"Don't come here! Rolf I, Evan in front of the gods and Lord Ramqvist, now is the time to propose a duel to you! Seeing that the guards were about to rush up and catch him, Evan tore off his cloak and threw it to the ground, while throwing his long sword, which hung from his waist, in the direction of Rolf, and said solemnly.

In the Viking tradition, when encountering something that is not reconciled or difficult to judge, it can be carried out by duel, and the Vikings are brave and ruthless, and duel is a kind of adjudication that everyone likes, as long as whoever kills the other party in the duel, the winner represents the decision chosen by the gods.

However, in general, the duel also needs to match the identity, property, and rank of both parties, or the number of commoners is more than the nobles, and everyone has nothing to do to challenge, and the lord, earl, and king don't have to do anything, and wait for the challenge all day until they are killed.

However, the Vikings respect heroes, and if there are so many people today, if they don't fight, they will become the object of ridicule of others, especially since Ramqvist is also present, and if he Rolf avoids war today, it will not be a shame in front of his people, and his shame will blow far, far away like the sea breeze.

This is also the plan that Evan discussed after secretly meeting that person that day, just when Linda got married, he stood up openly and challenged him in front of the whole clan and his son-in-law, of course, if he really refused, they still had a second plan, which would always force him into his trap.

But luckily! Rolf did not disappoint him, hearing that in front of the public, Evan even swore an oath to him to duel, which is an extreme humiliation for a lord to dare to challenge you wantonly if a commoner dares to challenge you.

Especially throwing the weapon in front of him, it is a sign of humiliation for the Vikings, which means that you are not even qualified to ask me to use the weapon.

Enraged, Rolf, the moment Evan dropped his weapon, only anger burned in his eyes, and he looked around casually, only to see his son-in-law Ramqvist with a look of contempt, staring at him unabashedly.

The surrounding crowd also whispered, with anticipation and excitement.

He didn't have time to think about what was excited about this group of lowly poor people? What to expect? He happened to be pulled by Ainar before, and he didn't want to do it in his heart, but now Evan didn't know how to give him such a good opportunity! How could he miss it!

"I accept his challenge! Get out of the way! ”

As soon as Rolf's words fell, the guards around Evan stepped back, leaving behind the young man standing in the middle of the field, with a straight body and a smile on his face.

Seeing the arrogant young man present, seeing the familiar face, and seeing the familiar smile, Linda was drunk.

Linda's mind was completely sluggish at the first moment Evan appeared, she missed it every day, and the figure in her dreams turned a thousand times every night, just standing in front of her alive.

She cried, and the tears remained uncontrollably, hanging all over her little face!
