Chapter 197: Lancelot, the acrobatic knight
"Lord Lancelot...... Here's the thing......"
The captain hurried up and leaned into Lancelot's ear to explain the details.
"Violation of chivalry? Did he really say that? ”
After listening to the captain's report, Lancelot's sword-like and handsome brow raised slightly.
"Yes, Camelot was built on the pillars of chivalry, and when he questioned us like this, his subordinates really couldn't answer and make a choice." The captain said with a wry smile, his expression obviously very embarrassed.
"I see. I don't blame you for this, I'll take care of it. ”
Lancelot nodded understandingly, and gently patted the captain on the shoulder twice to comfort him.
With the crisp sound of armor on his body, Lancelot walked to the city wall and said in a polite, soft and routine tone:
"Dear sir, down there is Lancelot, the Knight of the Round Table. For the rude behavior of the soldiers, they apologize to you in the next generation. It's getting late, and it's true that the gates can't be opened for you and your female companion anymore. However, I can send you back to your place of residence and provide protection along the way. ”
"That way, you and your girlfriend are safe, and it's not a violation of chivalry. I wonder what you think? ”
Lancelot's response was perfect, maintaining Camelot's strict order without deviating from chivalry. Coupled with his willingness to escort him personally, I'm afraid that no matter how nitpicking he is, he won't be able to find fault.
But even so—
“…… Speaking of Camelot's Knights of the Round Table, are they so idle on weekdays? I asked the blonde girl in my arms, a little surprised.
Although the Knights of the Round Table are not directly involved in the management of government affairs, they also have to practice martial arts on a regular basis every day, train knights and even lead armies, and it is not a small matter at all.
It stands to reason that Lancelot couldn't have found so much time to dedicate to escorting civilians, especially since it was still night.
Could it be that he has been ostracized by the people around him, or has nothing to do because he doesn't fit into Camelot's current situation?
"Really...... Lancelot's old mistake has been re-......"
The little head rested lightly on my chest, and the girl helplessly raised her hand and held her smooth forehead.
"Old problem?" I repeated my doubts.
"yes, from the first day I met Lancelot, he's been what he is now." The girl sighed, shook her head again and again, and said, "He is a standard Frenchman, and he has always valued the safety of women more than his own life. No matter what time and occasion, as long as he thinks that the women around him are in trouble, he will leave everything at hand to help. ”
"If you are an ordinary person, you will be able to correct your behavior if you are not able to do it a few times. But Lancelot Qing's martial arts are superb, and as long as he makes a move, there are almost no things that can't be solved. Afterwards, the women who received the help would be fascinated by his appearance and temperament, and praise him for his righteousness, and even compiled a book of poems that were circulated by the bards throughout the country. As a result, as time went on, Lancelot's problems became more and more serious......"
"So...... Lancelot proposed a special escort because of Artoria? "I opened my mouth wide.
"At the moment, I can only think of this possibility, otherwise Lancelot would not have lost his temper to this extent."
The girl's clear blue eyes were full of helplessness, and she seemed to have a headache for a long time.
"Your Excellency, since you have been reluctant to give a reply for a long time, you will acquiesce to our companions!"
At this time, Lancelot seemed to be a little impatient, and shouted at us from the top of the city wall.
"Please wait where you are, come here!"
"Uh...... Lord Lancelot, even if you have to meet with the people below, how can you do it when the gates are closed? There are no tunnels or secret doors in Camelot, and you can only enter and exit through the main entrance. ”
The captain on the side kindly stepped forward to remind Lancelot.
"Don't worry, this little thing won't bother me." The corners of Lancelot's lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of confidence.
Immediately after, he made a move that stunned the audience.
I saw Lancelot jump on the city wall, and even people with armor jumped off the city wall!
"Lord Lancelot!"
For a moment, all the guards on the city wall, including the captain, were frightened.
At this time, the Western European countries were under the invasion of war all the year round, so most of the city walls were built extremely high to improve the city's defense against foreign enemies.
Even the smallest towns have at least 10 meters high walls.
Medium-sized cities with exterior walls starting at 20 meters in height.
The outer walls of the large castle are 30 meters high.
As the royal capital of the entire British Isle and the famous knightly city, Camelot seems to have exceeded 40 meters in height as early as a few years ago.
At such a height, it is difficult to distinguish the figure below at night.
Otherwise, Camelot's guards wouldn't have been able to recognize me and the girl because of the darkness of the night.
However, the most worrying thing now is undoubtedly the safety of Lancelot.
No matter how strong the martial arts are, even if the body is iron-
Jumping from a forty-meter-high wall, the result will not change either.
Lancelot, you're going to die!
At this moment, Lancelot was falling with his arms outstretched, his body stretched out, and his head facing down.
Like a bird with broken wings, he slammed into the hard ground at unimaginable speed!
"Oh no, he's going to die if he goes on like this!"
I subconsciously gathered up the magic in my body and raised my hand to create some cushion for Lancelot's falling body.
"Shirou, there's no need."
However, the arm was grabbed, and the blonde girl shook her head at me.
"It's Lancelot's specialty, and every time he shows it in front of a woman, he shows it as an opening remark. We just have to stay here and watch him perform. ”
Looking at the girl's calm expression and listening to her unwavering voice, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly.
How many times has this experience taken you to become accustomed to such a dangerous situation as a subordinate......
And as if echoing the girl's words, Lancelot, who was only seven or eight meters above the ground, moved.
I saw his feet stretched out in mid-air, and then kicked violently on the city wall behind him!
Qiang ——!
With the dull sound of his boots hitting the wall, Lancelot's body turned up in mid-air with the help of the force of his legs!
The tall and slender body flipped and moved flexibly under my stunned eyes, dancing in a graceful arc.
From a distance, the action is as exciting as that of an acrobat, and it is dizzying.
