Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Righteous Messenger of the Old Gods
The Smiling Tree Knight rode to Sir Hay, who had been helped up, and a high-pitched, unusually loud voice came from the Smiling Tree Knight's armor, which seemed to be urning due to the echo of the armor.
"Sir Hay, I will return your armor and war horse to you unconditionally." Hearing his words, Sir Hay immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even looked at him with a much softened expression, a set of knight's plate armor and war horses are worth a lot.
The voice paused, "But, just yesterday your servant bullied a poor innocent Zedi, as you can see, in the name of the old gods, I hope that his sins will be duly punished." ”
"I don't know about it, but if it does, I'll punish it severely." Sir Haely, who had retired from his armor, was a serious, rigid man, and out of gratitude to the Smiling Tree Knight for returning his equipment, he immediately raised an eyebrow and said that he would pursue the matter.
With that, Sir Hay put on his helmet and left the arena in a rage, looking at the heavy "bang, bang" sound he made as he walked, he was obviously angry, and the fate of the servant was self-evident.
In the next game, it was Han Xing's turn to play again, his opponent was a spirited old man, wearing a bronze armor, Han Xing didn't have much impression of him.
But it was Ed who spoke: "That's Count Jon, nicknamed 'Bronze Jon', a vassal of Duke Arryn, Count of Runestone, and his bronze armor is a family heirloom, which is said to be engraved with magical runes. ”
"Then why haven't I seen him?" Han Xing wanted to break his head, but he didn't remember that he had met him.
"Of course you haven't seen him, he is a well-known militant in the valley, he participates in martial arts competitions everywhere, and he has achieved a lot of results by relying on that suit of armor, but he is an old bird in the carbale arena, take care of yourself!" Robert added.
"It looks like you've met a master!" Han Xing's heart was weak for a while, but he still rode his horse to meet him.
Han Xingyi clamped the horse's belly, turned into "lightning", bowed slightly, protected the vital point with a shield, stretched the horse pistol forward, and charged towards the "Bronze Yoon".
"Bronze Yoon" is not ambiguous, he also set up a horse pistol and killed Han Xing, I have to say that the horse pistol competition is to a large extent a major test of people's courage and reflexes, and the victory or defeat is likely to be decided in a few seconds.
Fortunately, although Han Xing has a weak heart, he has no stage fright, which is all thanks to Ali's devil training, because there is no setting of pain and death in the training space, to a large extent, Han Xing's fear of pain has become less intense, and he feels even more numb to death.
So Han Xing quickly entered the state, and as the two intersected and separated, the results of the first round were revealed.
Han Xing's, the carbine hit the shield of the "Bronze Jon", and the "Bronze Jon" lived up to its name, and he put the shield on one side slightly, and slid Han Xing's riding gun away.
However, Yorn's cavalry spear hit Han Xing's shield, leaving a large hole in Han Xing's shield, and several cracks were extended, and sawdust splashed, which meant "scrapped".
"Damn, I'm going to lose 100 silver deer on Hanschel's body." Robert said with a sad face.
"Would the Grand Duke of Storm's Rest still care about 100 silver deer?" Bronze Jon' is a good player, and it would be nice if Hanschel would end up alive! Ed said on the side.
The audience on the field was even more silent, and the impression left by Han Xing was really very good, so much so that they saw the "Lightning" knight being pressed and beaten by a bad old man in vulgar gold armor, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, and they booed at the "Bronze Yoon" continuously.
Unaffected by the crowd's actions, the duo turned their horses' heads and urged their horses to prepare for the second round.
Han Xing knew that his shield could not hold up for a second attack, so when he was about to meet Jon, he flicked his horse's head, opened the distance between him and Jon, and with a sudden force in his hand, the horse pistol went towards Jon's thighs.
The blow grazed Yorne's unprotected thigh, leaving a shallow wound on Jorn's thigh.
Obviously, Han Xing's "Electricity" still has an advantage in speed, so much so that before Yoon could react, there was already an extra wound on his body.
Han Xing's inspiration came from the smiling Tree Knight's dodging tactics just now, and he just learned from it.
After that, Han Xin painted a gourd in the same way, relying on the high speed of the war horse to dodge the attack of "Bronze Jon", and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.
In the end, Yorn conceded defeat due to physical exhaustion and excessive blood loss.
Frankly speaking, Han Xing's victory is not glorious, it is a bully with equipment, if it is on the battlefield, he is definitely not the opponent of "Bronze Jorn", but the competition field greatly limits the play of Jon's skills and experience, forcing the two to carry out a formatted hedge. After all, Yoon is an old man who is close to the sixtieth year, and his reaction speed has dropped significantly, plus Han Xingma is also a thief.
However, the audience on the field will not consider this problem, the audience is a group of people who look at their appearance, they don't care about what "Bronze Yoon" or "Golden Joon" is, they only know that Han Xing looks more chic and more in line with the image of a knight in the eyes of everyone.
Han Xing dismounted with great grace, came to Count Jorn's side, saluted him, and said, "Lord Earl, you are a very good knight, and your skills in defense are unmatched. Han Xing's words were sincere, but in Jon, it sounded a little sarcastic, and the defensive skills were unmatched? So what is the wound on my leg? Scratched by a branch?
Looking at the old man's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Han Xing realized that he looked like a horse's fart had been slapped on the horse's leg, so he had to immediately change his words and said, "You are a respected senior, I will return your armor and war horse to you unconditionally." Hearing this, Jon's face improved, and the war horse didn't talk about it, the bronze family was his heirloom, and if he lost to others, he would have no face to see his ancestors.
"In return for your generosity, I can teach you some defensive techniques." Jonn left the ring, ashamed of his defeat, but as a veteran of the tournament, he took it in stride.
It was a surprise for Han Xing to get the guidance of "Bronze Jon", and he returned to the stands happily.
"Look! Our 'Lightning' is back! When Robert saw Han Xing returning, he immediately coaxed.
"Lightning?"
"yes, this is the nickname that the audience unanimously agreed to give you, how about it?" Lightning 'Hanschel, sounds good! ”
"At least they didn't call me 'Shiratori' or 'Dodger', did they?" Han Xing comforted himself like this.
Eyes back on the field, and the next match was already underway, with Brandon Stark "The Wolf" Stark and "The Dragon Prince" Rhaegar battling the match.
This competition can be described as full of highlights, these two are famous young masters, one is a proud son in the north, the other is a true dragon in the south, and the appearance of the two represents the peak level of the south and the north respectively.
The female audience on the field was a feast for their eyes, and under the joy, they all shouted hysterically, "Rhaeg! Rhaegar! "Brandon! Brandon! When they found out that the "girlfriends" around them turned out to be supporters of the enemy, it turned into a scuffle.
It is said that men are ruthless in fighting, but in fact, women are even more ruthless in fighting, and what is teasing the legs and pulling their hair, which is several times more ferocious than that of men.
In fact, even if he asked Han Xing, Han Xing didn't know who to choose between the two, one was Eddard's elder brother, the heir of the Stark family, and the other was the ruler of the future Seven Kingdoms of the "Dragon Prince", emotionally, Han Xing was inclined to Brandon, and intellectually Han Xing was inclined to the "Dragon Prince".
Without him, because Rhaegar is a southerner after all, and the south is popular in horse and gun competitions, and from the first time Rhaegar held a sword, he was indispensable to train in riding and riding; As a northerner, Brandon first practiced two-handed swordsmanship, then bows and arrows, and finally equestrianism and spears, so he may not be Rhaegar in terms of equestrian and jousting experience.
"Ed, do you think Brandon can beat this swaggering little white face?" Robert took a sip from his glass in the audience, then leaned over to Ed's ear and whispered.
Ed frowned and said, "Brandon is also very good at equestrianism and spear riding, but he is best at swordsmanship. The implication was that he felt that Brandon's participation in the carabine tournament could be said to be based on his own shortcomings, and his strengths might not be able to benefit him.
"I'm looking forward to your eldest brother teaching this guy a good lesson, I bet 500 silver deer on him!" Robert muttered.
Brandon on the field was wearing a set of chain mail and a northern helmet on his head, which was very similar to the steel helmet of Germany in World War II, but it was silver and white metallic.
On the other side, Rhaegar was wearing his black plate armor with a ruby three-headed dragon on his chest, which was black and shiny in the sun, a bit like Milan-style plate armor, not only focusing on protection, but also beautiful and generous, compared to Han Xing's armor with a duck's beak, it was simply boundless.
The helmet was embossed with a fire-breathing dragon with a slit in the place of the eyes, and Rhaegar's bright eyes flashed with a grim gaze.
However, Han Xing doesn't think that this set of "forced" armor will be very comfortable to wear, after all, it is now in the middle of the day, and black is the most heat-absorbing, and now Rhaegar is wearing this suit of armor, I am afraid that it will be hot and breathless, and I am afraid that staying in this suit of armor will really be so hot that it will breathe fire!
However, looking at Rhaegar's appearance, it didn't seem to be about to turn into a roasted "dragon dry", which made Han Xing can't help but think of the true dragon blood of the Targaryen family, it seems that Daenerys is not afraid of heat, the heat here does not refer to the high temperature but the high temperature of the flame that is enough to roast people to ashes. Regal is known as the "Last True Dragon", isn't Rhaegar not afraid of fire?
It seems that wearing black armor B is not for everyone, and ordinary people are really blessed!
Compared to Rhaegar's cool, forceful black armor, Brandon is dressed like the most ordinary northern cavalry, no way, the northern realm mainly believes in the old gods, and if you want to become a knight, you must believe in the seven gods. So the Stark family has hardly ever been a knight, and it seems that Ed is not a knight either.
Brandon took the Stark family's Icewolf Crest Shield from Hu Cong's hand, and a crudely made carbine, which looked blue as if it had just been cut off from a tree, with a few wooden thorns visible to the naked eye.
The "Dragon Prince" received a painted shield with a realistic three-headed dragon depicted on it, and his carbine was a colorful riding spear, which was not only beautifully made and smooth to the touch, but also had three colors dyed with a spiral pattern.
The "Dragon Prince" shouted "drive", and the horse began to jog, he painted a shield in his left hand, a colored riding spear in his right hand, wearing a cool black armor, and a bright red cloak behind him hunted in the wind, as if he was a warrior who was going to slay the dragon, and immediately won countless applause and cheers.
