The joust-style joust, that is, the knight horse contest, in which each side mounted a war horse and charged opposite each other with a spear and shield, with the goal of knocking the opponent off the horse and the conditions of victory or defeat.

In ancient times, this was a very popular way of jousting, but it did not appear for a long time, because with the advent of modernization, knights and knights' weapons have become antiques and have been obsolete by the times.

But when the end came, the system of feudalism and fiefdom revived, and lords and knights reappeared.

In today's era, most of the modern weapons that were once highly sophisticated and intelligent have lost their effectiveness, and the emergence of capable people has made individual people have extremely strong force, even more than the powerful weapons that humans once had, so under the influence of the anarchist trend of thought that enveloped the entire Western world, the lord feudal system and knights reappeared. Knight jousting has also become popular again, once again becoming the most common form of duel used by the Northern Olympians to resolve disputes.

Over the years, this style of jousting has changed a lot, with both sides still using mounted spears and shields, but can use their telekinesis in the process. In fact, in the end, it is the strength of the thinking ability of both sides that determines the outcome of the victory, and the riding spear and shield are just a disguise, and the reason why they are still used is to cover up the mental ability of the contestant.

Hu Cong handed Roland and Kevin a cavalry lance and a knight's iris shield, and Roland used the long cavalry spear of the heavy cavalry. And Kevin's hand is the short cavalry spear of the light cavalry, which is much worse than Roland's cavalry spear in length.

This was obviously a bit unfair, but Kevin just smiled disdainfully, dismissively, and rolled over his horse.

Roland also saw that his spear was shorter than his own, and he smiled slightly, drew his saber, and cut off the head of his spear, so that it was the same length as Kevin's spear.

Be fair and fair, and don't want to take advantage of him.

When everyone saw this scene, they all secretly applauded Roland's knightly demeanor. Kevin gestured to him as well.

Roland rode his horse away and stood a few dozen meters away from Kevin.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance, facing each other, and compared with Roland's heavily armored horse, Kevin's light-armored and thin horse seemed a little weak.

The tense atmosphere made the birds in the nearby grass reluctant to linger and fluttered.

This also became the signal for the beginning of the duel.

"Drive!"

The horses of both sides galloped wildly and rushed straight towards each other!

Roland's posture is a steady heavy cavalry charge, with the long cavalry spear tucked under the armpit of his right hand, and the spear is pointed directly at Kevin. Kevin, on the other hand, pointed his spear into the sky and did not lower the tip of his spear until he approached Roland, a tactic commonly used by flexible light cavalry "Eagle Strike", which had the advantage of confusing the opponent and not exposing his target in advance.

There was a crisp "snap", and Kevin's riding spear hit Roland's riding gun like a fishing rod when it fell, and the next second it passed by, the tip of Roland's gun lost its accuracy, and Kevin stabbed Roland's shield.

There are two key points for the knight to win the duel, one of which is the "four nails" on the shield, the four rivets that fix the shield, which is also the position of the shield handle, in the duel, the powerful spear directly hits this position is likely to cause the hand holding the shield to be injured, directly abolishing the opponent's defense.

Kevin hit the "four nails" with precision.

Roland staggered, but did not fall off his horse. looked at Kevin with a little more admiration. This round was indeed Kevin who had the upper hand.

Ordinary viewers can only see this, but in fact, in the confrontation just now, both sides used several telekinesis skills, including "hard", "phantom", and "hidden".

The wooden spear is easy to break, so to maintain its hardness, it must be wrapped with "hard" at all times, and the shield must be reinforced with hard to defend against the opponent's attack.

The reason why Roland did not fall off his horse was precisely because he withdrew the mental energy on his spear at the critical moment, and instead strengthened the "hard" strength of his shield.

Xue Zhen saw this scene and realized a lot: a person's mental energy is limited, if the whole body is always wrapped in a "hard" state in battle, then the defense in every place is not strong enough, it is best to use the "hard" on the gun when attacking, and when defending, then concentrate all the mental energy on the shield.

This quick conversion is an advanced application of the "hard" technique. This technique is called "hard flow".

This was originally an advanced technique, but Snow Mark was self-taught and realized it by himself.

But it's easier said than done, and Snow Scar tries to adjust his "hardness" to the point that his hands are inconsistent, but he feels that he can't do it.

The head of the Nord family looked at the snow marks and saw that he was still in the introductory stage, and smiled kindly: "Are you practicing hardflow? ”

Snow Marks doesn't speak. He still has some grudges against Hemod, so he doesn't want to talk to him. He withdrew his hand and continued to focus on the match between Roland and Kevin.

In the clearing, Roland and Kevin swapped places. Charged at the other side again.

Kevin no longer responded to the enemy with a clever "Eagle Strike" stab, but instead adopted the same modest starting hand as Roland.

Because there is a conventional rule in contemporary knight jousting that the same move cannot be used twice. This is good for both the fairness and the spectacle of the competition.

Kevin's use of the "Eagle Strike" stab is considered an opportunistic victory, and he cannot use this technique again, otherwise he will be considered to have no real talent, and even if he wins, he will not be able to win.

The two rushed towards each other at high speed in the same stance, and this time it looked almost certain to be a hard-hitting impact.

Kevin's spear was aimed at Roland's helmet belt, the second target that could be won with a single hit, and Roland's spear was still pointed at Kevin's chest. Kevin smiled, feeling that the victory was in his hands, because the two starting hands were related: when the opponent's attack landed on his shield, the tip of his spear was also stabbing the opponent's throat, and the huge backward impact would dissolve the impact generated by his inertia, which was equivalent to defusing part of his attack. So the result is that their own shield blocks the opponent's attack, and the opponent is shot down from the horse.

Kevin won this round.

But at the moment when Kevin's spear tip accurately pierced Roland's helmet belt, Roland's body posture suddenly changed, and he instantly shifted from the left position of the horse to the right side, although it was only such a small change of posture, but he had already avoided the fatal attack.

A golden phantom remained in place and was shattered by Kevin's spear, which grazed his shoulder, the wooden spear squeaking against the metal heavy armor.

Before the sound could be heard, Kevin had already been hit, soared into the air, and fell off his horse.

Because of Roland's instantaneous change of posture, Kevin's attack that he was determined to win missed, while Roland's attack hit the target without hindrance, hitting Kevin's shield, and also stabbed at the four-nail position, Kevin's shield shattered, and the whole person flew off the horse's back.

Cheers and whistles rang from the sidelines, and everyone cheered for this wonderful duel.

Hemod also clapped his hands and praised Roland's skill.

Roland's technique is easy to say, but very difficult to do. When the two sides are charging at high speed, changing the riding position at the last moment is as difficult as opening the door and getting out of the car at the moment of a car accident.

Just when everyone thought that Kevin had failed to fall off the horse, Kevin, who had already fallen off the horse, suddenly grabbed the saddle with one hand, flicked on the ground like a dragonfly, and jumped on the horse again.

He didn't completely fall off the horse and the race continued.

Everyone cheered again and were amazed by Kevin's superb riding skills.

Even if Kevin is an enemy, everyone still cheers for him when they see him showing such superb equestrian skills.

In this momentary confrontation, Roland must have used the telekinesis ability, but what kind of technique it was, Snow Marks couldn't see it this time.

Seeing the confusion of the snow marks, Hemod smiled and said, "Roland used his famous skill 'Light Transmission' in the confrontation just now, which is an advanced application of 'Concealment' and 'Illusion'. ”

Knowing that he was deliberately reminding himself, Snow Mark couldn't help but glance at the majestic man. He had a light blonde beard and was thick and shapely. A scar cut through the beard on the side of the cheek. He wears crimson armor with brightly colored lions depicted in gold, and a huge cloak woven with gold thread.

Hemod also glanced at him and smiled slightly.

At this time, Kevin's situation in the arena was not optimistic, although he returned to the horse with equestrian skills, but one hand was already drenched in blood, which was caused by Roland's attack on the shield "Four Nails", and the hand holding the shield had been broken. Without the shield protection, the next charge is afraid that it will be more than lucky.

The competition with Roland is related to Kevin's life and death, so although he is at a great disadvantage, he still refuses to admit defeat. He rode back to his place again, and looked at Roland from a distance.

Roland looked at Kevin resolutely turned his horse's head, and said regretfully: "With your current state, you may definitely die if you come again, why don't you ride your horse and escape, maybe there is still a chance of life......

Kevin grabbed the reins with one hand, looked up to the sky and laughed, with a heroism that did not match his age: "Don't look down on people, how can the knights of the North Olympics escape!"

Roland nodded: "No matter what the outcome of the duel is, you have earned my respect, friend, as your opponent, I will also do my best!"

The two hedged again.

Snow Scar was a little anxious in his heart, because after all, Kevin jumped out at the last moment in order not to let himself be tortured, so he had a good impression of Kevin, and seeing Kevin rushing towards Roland without shield protection was like killing himself, and he couldn't bear it.

Now the only one who can stop this competition is the Duke of Hermod, the head of the Nord family, and Snow Mark looks at Hemod on horseback. Compared to Kevin's safety, the previous suspicions have been left behind him.

Hemod also glanced down at Xuezhen and understood what he meant, but he didn't stop the competition, but just said indifferently: "Look at it, boy, this is the duel of the Northern Olympic people, even if it is death, you must die generously, just like that kid said, the Northern Olympic knight, how can anyone escape?"

On the martial arts field, the two approached at a very fast speed, with a momentum like a bamboo, this is the third round, and they must be separated.

Roland's tactic was simple, a single shot in Kevin's unprotected chest would have killed him.

Kevin, on the other hand, still maintained a decent cavalry charging posture, his arm could no longer hold the shield, and he could only cling it to himself.

Closer, closer, there was a loud bang, and the two collided in one place again, and the two spears shattered at the same time, making a loud noise.

"How so!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience, including Hemod, with surprise on their faces.

At the last moment of the collision between the two, on Kevin's spear, a huge ice condensed, like a large umbrella that had not yet been fully opened, the conical tail perfectly sheltered Kevin's whole body, and the tip of Roland's spear hit the ice, but it did not shatter it, on the contrary, it was the spear that was shattered. Kevin's spear struck Roland's iris shield solidly, shattering the shield instantly, and the huge impact knocked both of them off their horses at the same time.

The knights of the Nord family rode into the arena to check Roland's injuries, because the ice attached to Kevin's spear froze the tip of the spear into a sharp cone, so his gun was no longer the blunt gun, and at such a speed and such a sharp cavalry lance hit Roland, even if he was well protected, I am afraid that he would be seriously injured.

The head of the Nord family, Hemod, frowned, and a gloom appeared on his face, and the impassioned spirit of the North Olympic chivalry just now subsided. He is also distressed by his powerful generals.

If Roland dies, although Kevin wins the competition, the head of the Nord family, Hermod, will definitely not give up.

Although the victory is more than the defeat.

Seeing the situation in front of him clearly, Snow Scar couldn't help but sweat for Kevin again.

Unexpectedly, Roland actually stood up from the ground and laughed: "Kevin, the iceman, really deserves his reputation, I lost this competition!"

Admit it frankly and be above board.

And he turned out to be unharmed.

Kevin was also surprised, he instinctively used the ultimate move at the bottom of the box at the last moment, and did not spare his hand, which should have hit Roland hard, but now he was unharmed, as if the tip of his gun did not exist.

Roland also saw Kevin's surprise, and he looked behind him, where a man swaggered out of the knight ranks of the Nord family.

When Kevin saw this person, his eyes widened: "Carl, why are you here!"

When he saw Carl, he understood everything, it was Carl who protected Roland from seriously injuring his opponent and making a big mistake.

He and Carl were old acquaintances, and the two used to be rangers, gathering in the mountains and forests until they were dispersed in the midst of war.

I didn't expect to meet again here. It was only then that he suddenly understood why the Nord master was so familiar with him, since Karl was his knight.

Carl is a flame capable of generating high heat in an instant, and the tip of his spear was melted by Carl with his telekinesis when it hit Roland.

Because Carl is good-looking, short and thin, and the most inconspicuous in the crowd, Kevin has not found out about hiding in the knight team of the Nord family.

He just said hello to Kevin from a distance, then turned around and knelt down on one knee to the head of the Nord family: "Master of the family, Kevin is a talent, and please ask the head of the family to be kind and let him go!"

Hemod was happy to see that Roland was safe and sound, and he didn't want to embarrass Kevin anymore, so he laughed: "Kevin, you are indeed a talent, and you are also an iron-clad man from Northern Austria, I take a fancy to you, would you like to join the Nord family and become a knight under my command?"

Kevin looked at Hemod and then at Carl, and understood that it was all about surrendering himself. Recall what Hemod said at the beginning: Give you a chance to live, just see if you can grasp it. Only now do I understand that it does not mean the victory over Roland, but the surrender to the Nord family.

"Of course, if you don't agree, I will never embarrass you if you leave!" Hemod said heroically when he saw Kevin's hesitation.

Kevin looked at Karl beside Hermod, and without hesitation, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and knelt down on one knee: "I am willing to follow, my lord! I am willing to support your rule and protect your safety, in times of danger, I am willing to stand up, fearless of power, bold and loyal, and swear in the name of the new god, my long sword is sent by you!"

Hemod also rode forward, turned over and dismounted, drew his long sword, and put the tip of the sword on Kevin's shoulder: "As your lord, I swear that you will always have a place at my table, and I will never let your loyalty be stigmatized." Swear by the name of the new gods. The sword slapped Kevin's shoulders and the top of his head, "As my knight, stand up!"

Kevin stood up, the onlookers cheered, and Carl stepped forward and hugged Kevin.

Snowmark breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally a good ending.

"Hello little brother, my name is Kevin. When the dust settled, Kevin came to greet Snowmark, "Thank you for going out of your way to save me." ”

"Who told me to promise you? You're so good, if only I could be a master like you one day. ”

"Why are you here?"

"I'm going to look for the piano in that castle. ”

"You know her?"

"Yes, I'm her friend. ”

The head of the Nord family came over: "You want to find Jean Nord?"

"Yes...... Right," Snowmark forgot her last name, "do you know her?"

Hemod smiled slightly: "I'm her father." ”

Snow Scar was startled, and when he looked at Hemod carefully, he was indeed somewhat similar to Qin.

Another thought arose in my heart: it turned out that the piano ...... It's a rich second generation.
