Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Strength of the "Sledgehammer".
"Left, right, up, left, no, no, it's got to be like this! Right! That's it. Ed's voice could be heard in the distance, and he was meticulously teaching Roy's swordsmanship, pausing from time to time to correct Roy's posture.
Robert was complacent because he had found "the same kind", and when he saw Ed, he had to pretend to be depressed, saying that he planned to give up this trip down the mountain, but his acting skills were really clumsy, and Ed had already seen that he was just pretending. However, Ed, who has always been familiar with his character, does not intend to care about his personal private life, and has always turned a blind eye to this.
Seeing Ed teaching Roy swordsmanship, he immediately quipped with a little disdain and pride: "Roy boy, don't learn this kind of sissy weapon from Ned, if you want to learn it, you have to learn the weapon of a pure master like me." With that, he ran in the direction of his room.
After a while, Robert came with a war hammer made of pure metal about 1 meter long, this war hammer is a sharp and sharp triangle on one end, presumably used for armor piercing, and the other end is a boxy hammer head, which makes people feel heavy and intimidating.
Han Xing knew at a glance that this must be the murder weapon of Lao's sledgehammer, and in the future, this sledgehammer will hammer the "Dragon Prince" Leijia, and a large number of people will die under it. According to Ed's later description, "I could only barely swing it." "The power of this sledgehammer is evident.
Although this war hammer definitely looks like it weighs 30 or 40 pounds, Robert does not look difficult to hold it in his hand at all, but easily as if he is holding not a 30 or 40 pound war hammer but a bottle of soy sauce that has just been hit.
Maybe this is the bloodline enhancement brought about by the remnants of the dragonlord bloodline in the bloodline of the Baratheon family? Baratheon's first ancestor was the illegitimate brother of Aegon the Conqueror, but unlike the silver-haired Targaryens, the lineage of Baratheon's family seems to have mutated, and from the first generation, generations have been black-haired, which is also an important reason why Ed later discovered the background of Joffrey and Tommen.
Robert came to Ed and Roy as if to show off, wielding his hammer in the air with ease, and even playing a few "hammer flowers".
Then he said to Roy with a proud face: "See? Roy, that's a man's weapon. As he spoke, he glanced at the long sword in Ed's hand with disdain.
Feeling the disdain in his eyes, Ed's heart suddenly scolded: "You think everyone is as innate as you!" You say that the sword is a weapon of the mother, but you are not mocking all the knights in the world, even my father, and the famous 'Fearless' Sir Barristan Selmy have scolded you. But out of respect for his friend, Ed just opened his mouth and said nothing.
"Brother Robert is amazing! One more time, one more time! Roy watched with admiration as Robert triumphantly brandished the hammer, clapping and urging Robert to do it again.
Han Xing thought to himself: "I never knew that Roy was such a thief, Robert was coaxed by him to perform a big stone in his chest, and he waved his war hammer tirelessly over and over again. However, Han Xing watched Robert wielding the war hammer, and the lines of that classic sketch always came to mind, "Sledgehammer 80, hammer 40." With Robert's movements, he dubbed him "eighty", "eighty", "eighty" and "eighty" in his mind, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
This laughter happened to fall into Robert's ears, and he immediately understood it as a provocation to his authority, even if Han Xing was his companion of the "Tomorrow's Getaway". "What? Did Sir Segard think the look of my warhammer was amusing? ”
Han Xing suddenly felt a cold air rushing up from the soles of his feet, and he felt a little difficult to breathe. Indeed, the way Robert wielded the war hammer and the dubbing in Han Xing's mind made Robert in Han Xing's eyes seem to have become a "sledgehammer" who smashes walls and opens cabinets, just like the virtues of a migrant worker, how can it not cause Han Xing to laugh?
But anyone who is hit by the "Lao Sledgehammer" war hammer will definitely not be able to laugh immediately, you don't see the "Dragon Prince" Rhaegar is also a good fighter, the champion of the Harrenhal Tournament, but in the face of the fatal blow of the "Lao Sledgehammer", he was broken by the war hammer, smashed a hammer in the chest, and died on the spot.
It is said that he had a three-headed dragon made of rubies (the Targaryen family coat of arms) in his black-armored bear vault, which was smashed down by the hammer "Sledgehammer of Law", and the rubies were smashed away, so much so that Arya was going to look for Rhaeggar's ruby when she passed by the Trident River.
Of course, at this time, the "Dragon Prince" Rhaegar is still alive and well in King's Landing!
Facing Robert's "unconvinced gaze" Han Xing suddenly swallowed his saliva, he didn't want to be honored to replace the stupid boy of the Tully family and become the first ghost under the hammer of "Law's sledgehammer".
He immediately stopped the smile on his face and said, "Duke Robert, I didn't mean that, I just remembered a carpenter near my house. He changed the sketch and turned it into a Westeros version for Robert to hear.
Robert listened to the joke and said, "So you're comparing me, the dignified Duke of Storm's End, to a humble carpenter?" His face suddenly darkened, as if the cumulonimbus clouds were gathering for rain, and his hand was still clenched vigorously on the handle of the warhammer, as if a storm was about to fall.
Seeing him like this, Han Xing suddenly "groaned" in his heart, and secretly screamed, "It's miserable, I'm going to be smashed into meat sauce by him now." ”
But he didn't expect his face to suddenly burst into laughter like a rainy day: "Hahaha, damn, this joke you said is really funny, especially when the ugly woman from the next door came out and said, "Hahaha, she said, hahahaha" He couldn't stop laughing, and even stroked his stomach, obviously laughing so much that his stomach hurt.
Han Xing suddenly remembered when he saw him like this, this is Robert's cold humor! In the "Game of Thrones" TV series, he played this trick as soon as he appeared, deliberately pretending to be serious and even angry, and then suddenly laughed. Poor Lancel was tormented by him. Especially the joke about him growing too fat to wear armor later, Han Xing still remembers it vividly.
"Your Majesty, this armor seems too small."
"Damn, you can't even put on a suit of armor for me."
"Stop torturing this poor child, you're too fat." Ed walked in and said to Robert.
Robert immediately pretended to be angry, glared at Ed coldly, and said, "Is this how you talk to your king?" Just as Lancel thought Ed was dead, Robert burst into laughter.
So poor Lancel laughed, and Robert suddenly turned his head and glared at him, "Isn't it funny?" ”
Out of the desire to survive, Lansail immediately held back a smile and said, "It's not funny. ”
Unexpectedly, Robert suddenly said: "What? Do you think the Prime Minister's jokes are not funny? "This makes Lancel froil (maybe Robert just likes to see Lancel deflated).
'Did you hear the Prime Minister?' The king was too fat to wear his armor. 'Why don't you hurry up and find me pincers to stretch my armor!' ”
It wasn't until Lancel ran out of smoke that he smiled at Eddard and said, "I think it's going to take him long before he realizes that there's no such thing as a 'pincer that pulls his armor apart'." ”
All in all, this is Robert's dry humor, and he likes to watch people stunned by his rollercoaster expressions. Maybe it's because it gives others the illusion that they're moody and reinforces their fear of him.
Han Xingzheng was glad that he had escaped, but he heard Roy's voice that didn't look too busy: "Brother Robert, don't look at Sir Segard who looks very thin, he is very powerful!" He said proudly, obviously, Roy was full of confidence in Han Xing's strength.
"Little Ancestor, where are you!" Looking at Robert's expression that was sunny and cloudy again, Han Xing screamed bitterly in his heart.
However, this time, Robert's eyes looked at Han Xing a little softer, not like he was going to fight him to the death for the honor of "Sledgehammer"; On the contrary••••• it is a little like seeing the meaning of hunting.
"He doesn't really want to compete with himself!" Han Xing watched Robert's eyes staring at him, and his heart suddenly felt furious.
"Sir Segard, since Roy is so confident in your fighting prowess, then let me see what you are really capable of!" He was really afraid of something, and Robert actually opened his mouth to invite Han Xing to fight.
Looking at Robert's serious expression as if he was facing a great enemy, Han Xing's heart was bitter, he glanced at Ed with pleading eyes, but found that Ed was also looking at him with a glowing expression, I am afraid that he also wants to compete with himself, yes, now he has become a sweetheart!
As everyone knows, Robert and Eddard at this time are not the later successful King Robert Baratheon and Ed Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, they are just two young men in their 20s, they are not confident in their own strength, and the two of them have not even killed anyone.
Han Xing has become a "touchstone" in their eyes, so that they can try their own methods, in fact, this is also a great opportunity for Han Xing, after all, the two of them have not grown to the level later, Han Xing can also take this opportunity to hone his combat skills, and it is a great opportunity to establish friendship with them, as the so-called "don't fight, don't know each other!" ”
With a helpless and wry smile on his face, Han Xing faced his first opponent "Lao Da Hammer".
Before the opening, Han Xing repeatedly reminded Robert's subordinates to show mercy, until he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Got it!" Got it! Han Xingcai was nervous and prepared for the battle.
He decisively chose not to use a shield, not to wear armor, just kidding, in the face of Robert's war hammer, what can a shield be used for, and the armor will only delay the speed of his actions.
So the competition between the two almost became Robert chasing Han Xing with a war hammer, and then Han Xing ran around, and as soon as Robert swung the hammer, Han Xing ran backwards, anyway, he would never resist his war hammer.
In the end, Robert was tired and half dead, panting and running forward without looking back, Han Xing said: "You have the ability••••• you have the ability, don't run, what kind of knight are you?" Fucking •••• Running away, do you •••••still have ••••• even a hint of •••••• honor in your eyes? With that, he rested the hammer on the ground, bent over and panting like an ox.
"It's a fool not to run, you think I'm the stupid boy of the Tully family? Still resisting, the 'Dragon Prince' Rhaegar can't bear it, just my small body? Don't you think your life will last? Han Xing scolded when he heard his shouting.
"Count you ruthless, stop me, as long as you take me a hammer, I'll let you go, how about it? Don't worry, I won't go to your head or body, as long as you take me hard with your sword. Robert gasped and said in a consultative tone.
Han Xing turned his head and shook his head like a rattle.
"Sir Hanschel Segard, in the name of the Duke of Storm's End, I order you to fight me in a real duel, and you are not allowed to escape!" Robert suddenly said with a serious face and a commanding tone.
Han Xing suddenly heard a voice in the space in his head, "The important plot character Robert has a lower opinion of you5!" Only then did he realize that Robert was the "boss" he wanted to please, and he would have to mess with him for the next two years! If you don't listen to him, you will offend him, and when the time comes, you will deliberately give yourself eye medicine on the battlefield.
Han Xing had no choice but to stop his steps, turned to Robert and said in a negotiating tone: "Duke Robert, look, why don't we take you with a hammer with a sword as you said before?" ”
Robert immediately laughed with satisfaction, and the space also reminded in time: "The relationship between Robert Baratheon, an important plot character, and you has risen by 10!" ”
"Yes, I earned 5, this risk is not in vain." Han Xing had no choice but to watch as Robert raised his hammer and smashed it towards his sword.
Han Xing gripped the hilt of the elven sword hard, and rushed towards Robert's sledgehammer, only to hear the sound of "dang~~~~", Han Xing felt a huge force in his hand, almost did not hold the weapon in his hand, and felt a tingling at the tiger's mouth.
Look at the elf sword in your hand again, okay! was actually smashed by Robert's war hammer into a right angle of nearly 90 degrees, like a "boomerang". Han Xing's heart suddenly burst into tears, this sword is a green quality that he is proud of! What is the hardness and flexibility of the modern industry that surpasses the elf? (Actually, it's quite flexible, at least it's not broken, isn't it?) )
Ed, who is also a sword-wielding person, stepped forward and patted Han Xing's shoulder, obviously he can understand Han Xing's mood very well, after all, the sword is equivalent to a swordsman's friend and brother, and has an incomparable status.
By destroying Han Xing's "touchstone", Robert suddenly had a general understanding of his combat effectiveness, and he was quite satisfied with this result, put down the war hammer, moved his muscles and bones, and even hummed a small tune.
However, looking at Han Xing's deathly gray expression and the elven sword that looked like a "boomerang", he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
So he also came to Han Xing's side, patted Han Xing's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, isn't it just a sword?" I admit it, it's because I've used my strength a little harder, and I'm the Duke of Storm's Breath, and I can't get a sword to pay you back? I'll pay you a handout, right? Seeing that Han Xing was unmoved (in fact, Han Xing just didn't hear what he said, and his ears were shaken a little tinnitus by the sound of gold and iron colliding just now.) He had no choice but to add: "I'll accompany you with a better sword than yours, right?" ”
In fact, Han Xing's sword is not hopeless, as long as he finds a better blacksmith and can recover with a little knock twice, but Robert is willing to compensate him for making it better, then of course it will be good, maybe the third task can be completed.
