153 London Celebration III
"Gawain?" Artoria was a little puzzled, because the name was very unfamiliar, she didn't know who the other party was, but with Gawain's faint power fluctuations, she was very concerned, the two should be about the same age, but Gawain was the first person to make the girl feel dangerous at the same age!
Artoria is arrogant, even if she looks a little stupid now, but she does have her own arrogance, because Merlin told her that except for a few humans in this world, there are basically few who can be about the same strength as her at the age of 15, which makes the girl extremely proud, but she didn't expect that she would meet at least three knights who can pose a threat to her for the first time in such a large-scale celebration!
Let's not talk about the first two mysterious knights, their strength is definitely above themselves, but they should also be much older than themselves, but the young knight Gao Wen who appeared next once again made the girl vigilant and secretly excited, it seems that there are really many strong people participating in this celebration, are they all here for the holy sword?
Artoria looked at Gawain and realized that the other party really had no hostility, her hand holding the hilt of the sword let go, and a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on her face: "My name is Artoria, it's nice to meet you." ”
"Artoria...? Tolia... It's a familiar name, have I heard it anywhere? Gawain tilted his head and muttered to himself, the name was indeed familiar, but he had forgotten where he had heard it, and he really didn't remember where.
"How can you ever hear my name? I'm just a squire. ”
"Well, forget it, have you ever seen two black and white knights in cloaks? I passed by them just now, and I didn't have time to ask their names, those two people are really powerful, I really hope to learn martial arts skills with them! "Gawain is really not hostile to Artoria, he was looking for those two mysterious knights, but he was inadvertently attracted by the girl's power, so he appeared in front of her, he didn't expect to meet several interesting guys in this boring celebration, which made him excited!
"A knight in a black and white cloak? They went in that direction, they should have participated in the king election ceremony, right? But those two people are really strong, especially the black knight! Artoria didn't expect that the other party was looking for those two knights, and to be honest, she was very concerned about those two knights.
However, she did not reach the point where she wanted to take the initiative to find the other party, because Merlin had told the girl that everything had been arranged by fate, and if fate did not allow you to do this, no matter how hard you tried, it would still be in vain, and if fate allowed it, then no matter how much you tried to escape something, it would be inevitable in the end.
The word fate, under the influence of Merlin, has taken root in Artoria's heart.
"Really? Did they go to that boring ritual? Forget it, it doesn't matter without them, Artoria, do you want to play a game with me? Now I care more about you. Gawain decisively gave up looking for the two knights and turned his gaze to the handsome boy in front of him who was about the same age as himself.
That's right, in his eyes, Artoria is indeed a handsome young man, with the same golden hair as himself, green eyes, a middle-aged face, coupled with wide clothing and strong power fluctuations, no one will see her as a girl, is this a kind of sadness for Artoria?
"Games?" Artoria didn't know what the other party was going to do, but she suddenly became a little excited, maybe the game would be fun, so she replied, "Okay! ”
"Then let's go."
……
Since it was a celebration, all kinds of entertainment were indispensable, and Gawain took Artoria to a stall, where a group of people were shouting, laughing and making noise, and it looked very lively.
The business of this stall is actually very simple, a similar longbow, nine targets, one silver coin for nine bows and arrows, and there is a prize for hitting the target, which is very similar to the balloon shooting game we see in the park.
"As a knight's squire, your wish is to become a knight, right? In that case, there should be contact in archery? We have 81 bows and arrows per person, and let's see who takes the shortest time, but how about hitting the heart? "Gawain is actually a martial arts idiot, what he desires most is to constantly challenge others, not to prove anything, but to break through the limit and enter a higher realm!
That's why he had great strength at the age of sixteen, you must know that he didn't have a good teacher like Merlin, and the current results are all earned by his hard work and sweat.
"Good!" Artoria didn't refuse, the knight won't shy away from any challenge, and she's looking forward to the fight with Gawain.
"Happy, I like people like that, but since it's a game, there must be a bet, so if I lose, I'll be loyal to you after you become a knight and become your guardian knight! Until the moment I die, how? Gawain put away his joke and said seriously, but his words made Artoria frown.
"Wouldn't your decision be too hasty? You're a knight and you're a nobleman! How could you make such a decision so rashly? Artoria thinks Gawain is very strong, but he has no chivalry, he underestimates knights too much, especially this promise to become a guardian knight, you must know that after becoming the other party's guardian knight, it is no different from a retainer, and you must have the consciousness of dedicating your life at any time!
"Huh... Life is all about challenges, isn't it? If you win me, it means that you are worthy of my allegiance, if not, hehe, it can only be said that my vision is slightly worse! It is my ultimate wish to serve someone who is stronger than myself, because only in this way can I find the weakness of the other person and find an opportunity to kill him! Gawain smiled, but his attitude made Artoria feel a chill, what the hell is going on with this person?
Did he become someone else's guardian knight to protect the other party, or to find an opportunity to surpass the other party?!
Although she thought so, the girl was not afraid, but she felt that she was ignited by a flame, this seemingly stupid girl was actually a martial idiot, she nodded: "In this case, if I lose, after I become a knight, I will choose to be loyal to you and become your guardian knight until the moment I die!" ”
"Oh? I didn't say I'm going to make you pay such a price, what are you doing this for? Looking for an opportunity to surpass me? Gawain asked with a smile.
The girl shook her head, she said seriously: "No, this is just my chivalry, I will not run away from any challenges or even games, and if I lose, then all this is the arrangement of fate, I will faithfully carry out all your orders!" I swear by the name Artoria! ”
"Interesting, interesting! Sure enough, it was the right time to come to London, and it was a pleasure to meet all of you! Now it seems that the future Britain will not be boring! Gawain said, and then he raised his right hand and clenched his fist forward, he looked at the girl, and said with a smile, "Swear by the name Gawain." ”
"Swear by the name Artoria." Artoria also raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist.
"I will fight this duel in earnest with the glory and dignity of the knights, and no matter what the outcome is, I will fulfill my vows, and under the witness of God, the contract will be established!"
After saying that, the fists of the two people collided together, and they fulfilled the oath that decided their fate in the future...
