Chapter Eighty-Three: The Challenge of the Genius Knight

So people's eyes suddenly focused on Carl, and Carl was a little inexplicable.

"You're Carl Rolland?"

The attention of everyone directly exposed Carl. The young knight's gaze fell on Karl at once.

"Miss Josephine has invited you to the ball?" asked the strange knight, tilting his chin, his tone as if he were commanding his men.

"What prom?"

Karl felt a little inexplicable, this young man looked quite handsome, with light blonde hair, meticulously combed like a proud rooster, and the noble sword with gold-rimmed handguards was also inlaid with a red gem, which glittered with his golden-red ribbon, and looked extremely burnt.

The young knight seemed to have a bad intention, and from the time he saw Karl, he had always held his chin high, and there was a domineering arrogance and disdain in his bones.

"Who is Miss Josephine?"

Karl thought about it for a moment, and was very sure that he had not provoked a young lady named Josephine in the past few days, and he did not understand where the strange knight's inexplicable hostility came from.

"Humph!"

The young knight snorted coldly and said coldly: "Miss Josephine is Miss Josephine Boston of the Wave Trident family, that is, the hostess who sent you the prom invitation post!"

"Prom invitation?"

Carl felt even more inexplicable, he just came to the City of Silver Tide yesterday, and the noble lady didn't know one, not even a place to stay, and there was a ghost ball invitation!

"I didn't get any prom invitations, I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person!"

Carl felt that his luck had suddenly become bad after crossing over, not to mention the bad luck on the way to the Silver Tide City, and when he arrived in the Silver Tide City, the object of his original defection suddenly went on a family trip, and finally relied on his wit to find a job, but he picked up an ancient scroll casually, and it was actually marked with the inheritance mark of the Ancient Magic Empire, and he had to be careful to be burned at the stake by the church at all times.

And when I went out today, I ran into a priest when I came up, and I almost scared him to show his flaws. After finally finding out that it was a false alarm, now there is another young knight who has inexplicably blocked the door, which is really speechless.

"Do you know Miss Josephine?" asked the young knight coldly.

"I don't know!"

"You're Carl Rowland?"

"I am!"

"Then Miss Josephine has seen your work?"

"What works?" Karl couldn't help but frown.

"Miss Josephine has seen your work, and she admires your talent, and as far as I know, Miss Josephine rarely appreciates a person!" said the young knight, staring at Karl with his eyes.

"Miss Josephine, the Queen of the Waves of the Waves Trident?"

Carl also reacted at this time, if he said that his work, it was only the story of "The Daughter of the Sea", which he quietly wrote on the manuscript with invisible ink and gave to Miss Heidi of the mermaid family.

But it was a gift he had given to Little Heidi, how could Miss Josephine of the Wave Trident family see it? Karl didn't think that with the relationship between the Mermaid family and the Wave Trident family, the Little Mermaid would show Miss Josephine of the rival family the love letters she had received.

"Miss Josephine is the goddess of the waves, and the person she fancies must be the best!" the young knight proudly raised his chin and said coldly, "The best person can only be me!"

“......”

Carl can see that this is a little kid who comes to eat flying vinegar. I don't know where Miss Josephine of the Wave Trident family saw her "Daughter of the Sea" and expressed her appreciation for her article, and this young man who came out of nowhere came out of nowhere came to trouble him with jealousy.

"Since you are Miss Josephine's favorite, you can't disappoint Miss Josephine!"

The young knight said coldly: "Carl Rowland, in order to repay Miss Josephine's appreciation, I formally invite you to have a sword performance with me at Miss Josephine's ball!"

The young knight's words suddenly caused a lot of waves in the crowd of onlookers. The so-called sword show is a kind of elegant duel, except that it does not hurt life, everything else is no different from a real duel.

It was a custom in the early days of the mainland to have an impromptu sword performance before a ball, banquet, or other large-scale public social event. In the beginning, he originated from the customs of athletics and gladiatorial battles in the ancient Lotta Empire.

The mages of the Ancient Rosta Empire loved to watch their slaves fight and use their followers to compete against each other to show off their wealth and power. This custom was inherited by the newly rising knightly aristocracy after the Dawning War.

In the early days of the kingdom, in order to maintain the martial spirit of the nobles, almost every ball and banquet was a grand martial arts ceremony, and the winner of the competition was the most popular star, which was sought after by countless noble ladies and ladies.

In the middle of the kingdom era, the continuous development of knightly virtues and the overflowing spirit of honor of the nobility made duels prevail among the nobility, and the contests before balls and banquets became real life-and-death battles.

It was not until the end of the Kingdom Age, when frequent wars of destruction replaced the peace and comfort of court life, that this style of gladiatorial warfare, based purely on personal honor and grudges, gradually disappeared.

In this day and age, people have gradually become vulgar and realistic, the pursuit of power and money is more important than the pursuit of illusory honor and fame, and the ladies and ladies prefer elegant opera, beautiful poetry, elegant music, and moving literature to men's gladiatorial fights, so the custom of gladiatorial battles before balls and banquets has gradually disappeared.

The young knight's fair challenge immediately attracted the attention of all the spectators, making them extremely excited and coaxing.

"Promise him, promise him!"

"How can a man be afraid of a challenge?"

"If you don't say yes, you're not a man!"

"Don't shrink, don't shrink!"

......

"Mr. Crassus Marcus, I think you should switch opponents for a great show!"

In the midst of the coaxing one after another, the little fat man Georgie stood up with a frown, he took the initiative to press Carl's shoulder, and said to Carl in a low voice: "Don't promise him, Crassus Musk is a genius knight who has awakened the blood of the Holy Angel, very powerful." ”

On the other hand, he said righteously: "Mr. Marcus, you are a trainee knight with formal training, and you have even ignited your fighting spirit and are about to be awarded a bronze medal. As a well-known knightly genius, it would be too contrary to the spirit of chivalry to challenge an ordinary person who has never been exposed to formal knightly training!"
