Chapter 39: Contest - Asking for Votes
PS: The plot will be more exciting later, and it is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary book fans, ask for a monthly pass!
Paisel shook his bald head, and the necklace rattled softly. "Lord Arryn is very calculating, but I am afraid that His Majesty the King may not all listen to the wise advice."
"My brother loves martial arts competitions and delicacies from the mountains and seas," Lan Li? Baratheon said.
"I'll talk to Your Majesty," Ned muttered, "and the country can't afford such a lavish game." ”
Kirk followed behind Eddard, wondering whether or not to participate in this grand tournament.
There is no doubt that judging from the honorary title of [Champion Knight] given by the space, this martial arts competition must have been successfully held as Robert wished. And Kirk guessed that in addition to the rewards for the championship of the knights, the team melee and bow competitions were obviously for strong melee teams and elite long-range shooters, and those two competitions should also have corresponding honorary titles.
However, what brought tears to Kirk's eyes was that he was an assassin who had participated in the king's assassination!
If you participate in this grand competition, it is inevitable to show all your true skills, in order to hope to be able to achieve a good ranking, the veterans each have unique skills, which have experienced dozens of worlds, hidden hole cards a lot. Once the fight starts, Kirk dares to guarantee that he is not in a hurry to take out his stunts and put them randomly, and it is inevitable that he will get a goof.
Although he could use the [Carthaginian Executioner's Long Knife] against the veteran, the combination of [Glory of the God of War] and [Flame of the Sun God] could not be used, and half of his kung fu was nullified. Although [Whirlwind of Death] can be without the other party's knowledge. Score some victories, but once you're up against a sniper with long-range slowing or field control, Kirk basically has to hang up. A single style of play is destined to not go very far in the martial arts competition.
Do you really want to give up this martial arts competition? Kirkney was full of cows, and now he finally had the sad urge to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Assassinating the king, in addition to earning a lot of favorability, deflection and contribution points, other goals were not achieved, but he left a lot of troubles for himself.
Kirk was complaining, Wang Han and Chubby persuaded him that this shot shot the first bird, in this kind of place. For that title and tens of thousands of gold dragon coins. It's not necessarily a good thing either. Besides, although the contractor's fighting is sharp, but riding a horse and cutting people is really not necessarily as strong as the plot, people are playing knight games every day, and this biggest [champion knight] title may not necessarily fall on the contractor's head. The archers themselves did not have such talent. Team melee might as well try your luck.
Really. King Robert was unhappy and refused Ed's request. Tell Ed that his prime minister is inaugurated. It must not be so shabby, the martial arts competition must be held, and it must be handled well.
Thereupon. In the end, Kirk and the other four signed up for a close-quarters team battle to see if they could rush the 20,000 gold dragon coins.
In this world, the Golden Dragon Coin can do many things, such as hiring an army and the unpredictable [Faceless]. Although the Faceless Ones are not an Assassin organization for money, but are motivated by the favors they owe, to be honest, if you don't have the Gold Dragon Coins, you can't afford to pay for the two-thirds of your net worth (the Faceless ones need their employer to pay two-thirds of their net worth for assassination), and they probably won't bother you.
The days are passing quickly, and it has been three days since Prime Minister Eide took office. And King Robert's much-talked-about grand jousting tournament has finally begun in the midst of all the attention.
What a spectacle that was. Chubby looks from the top of the Prime Minister's Tower:
The Blackwater River is rushing happily. Boundless tents line the Blackwater River to the mouth of the sea, the coats of arms of the royal family of Baratheon and the families of the Seven Kingdoms flutter in the wind, and the banners of the Crowned Stag, the Ice Running Wolf, the Roaring Golden Lion, the Leaping Trout, the Moonsky Falcon, the Gording Battle Banner, the Four-Clawed Sea Monster, and the Piercing Sun Golden Spear are all in full bloom, and are inlaid on the edge of the tent and various war equipment, and even the banners of the small and medium-sized feudal lords such as rose foxes, green apples, and rainbow trout have appeared around the lord's house.
The knights' shields hung from the tent doors, long rows of silk pennants fluttered in the wind, and steel swords and gilded spurs glittered with sunlight. Everywhere there are strong knights, with the help of trainee knights, training. The squires were busy polishing and waxing the armor and armor, polishing and maintaining the spears and weapons, while the horsemen led the horses to the river to wipe and clean and adjust the saddles.
The night before the contest was about to begin, the knights' horns sounded, the horses' hooves roared, and the last group of knights came in the starry night, busy setting up camp.
After nightfall, the riverside feast is opened, and the strings and songs are not stopped. The dignitaries of King's Landing came out to drink and catch up with the lords who had led their strongest knights from afar, and the knights held a grand feast by the river. The beautiful prostitutes were busy flattering the knights and trying to make a lucrative business. And the ladies and ladies also found an excuse to take the treasure chariot and slowly passed by the knights' camp, and the delicate eyes behind the incense fan stared with interest at the young talents under the lord's banner, smiling and guessing who was the strongest knight in the Seven Kingdoms.
There is no doubt that this will be the biggest knightly match in the 15 years of Robert I's reign. The bounty of 90,000 gold dragon coins attracted the strongest warriors in the entire continent and even the entire world to King's Landing. If it weren't for the fact that King's Landing was not only a transportation artery, but also a waterway Palembang, it would not be easy to gather the powerhouses of the whole continent here in 3 days.
Wang Han looked out the window at the blazing river, and looked back at Kirk: "We really want to participate in this grand knight competition?" You're not afraid of our goofs? ”
KIRK DIDN'T ANSWER, BUT TURNED TO LYNN: "LET YOU GO AND SCOUT THE MOVEMENTS OF OTHER VETERANS, IS THERE ANY MOVEMENT IN ALL ASPECTS?" ”
LYNN SMILED: "I WENT ON RECONNAISSANCE WITH CHUBBY AND FOUND THAT IN THE PAST TWO DAYS, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF VETERANS IN KING'S LANDING CITY, USUALLY WITH THEIR POWERFUL LORDS, AND SOME ALONE, ALL FOR THE 90,000 GOLD DRAGON COIN BOUNTY AND TITLE REWARDS." Except for the veterans who took refuge in the Dragon Girl's side, they didn't come, and the other 8 groups came. As for us, the Lannister family's veteran team [Fire and Sword] is the most arrogant, boasting to win all the awards. They are truly the strongest team among these veterans. The Baratheon family is also preparing???"
"All awards?" Kirk was a little surprised: "[Champion Knight] They are also going to fight? ”
Chubby nodded.
"Will they ride horses and cut people?" Kirk scoffed.
LYNN SAID HELPLESSLY: "YOU ARE REALLY CLOSED TO INFORMATION, DO YOU KNOW THAT IN SEVERAL KNIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE DORNE KINGDOM, KAIYAN KINGDOM, ELIN KINGDOM, AND RIVERYU KINGDOM, IT IS THE VETERAN WHO HAS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP?" ”
Kirk was taken aback: "They? ”
LYNN GLANCED AT WANG HAN: "YES, SINCE THE CONTRACTOR CAN HAVE PETS, WHAT'S SO UNUSUAL ABOUT OWNING A MOUNT?" ”
Kirk was dumbfounded, he never knew that the Contractor could have a mount!
Wang Han nodded and said, "That's true, as long as we have a chance, we can sign a mount and become a knight." The mount system is now open for veterans. The reason why the Lannister family veterans dared to say that they wanted to hit all the awards this time was because they had three hidden tough veterans, all of whom had special mounts! ”
Kirk suddenly remembered, "So, our [Dragon Knight] title? ”
LYNN WAS EXPRESSIONLESS: "YES, ONCE THAT TITLE IS COMPLETED, AND THEN BRUSH THE DRAGON GIRL'S POWER OPINION TO 100, YOU CAN HAVE ONE OF HER THREE DRAGONS AS YOUR OWN MOUNT." Otherwise, do you think that everyone is eager for the Targaryen family? What's good about that barbarian-infested Dothraki? ”
Wang Han disagreed: "How can a giant dragon be so easy to ride?" The friendship of the dragon girl should reach 100, how to help the dragon girl complete the restoration cause, this difficulty is not lower than getting an artifact. It is almost impossible to accomplish this task in one world, unless you can enter this world world many times. ”
Kirk was relieved in his heart, otherwise everyone else would have run to brush the dragon, and he would be forced to pay out of his own pocket to guard the upright Eddard here. Stark, it's embarrassing to think about.
Arya's little head came out of the crack in the door and called out to Chubby: "Uncle Fat, let's go to the Blackwater River to play together?" ”
Xiaopang said helplessly: "I've been with you for a day today, Miss, can't you stop for one night?" Uncle Fat signed up for tomorrow's martial arts competition, and if he doesn't rest well, he will die! Arya doesn't want Uncle Fat to hang up early, right? ”
Arya snorted angrily: "Anyway, Uncle Fat, you are so fat, you must have been beaten down in the first round, anyway, what about playing with Arya for a while?" ”
Chubby was so angry that his eyes widened, and Wang Han laughed out loud: "Chubby, you can play with Miss Arya, she was angry with Queen Cersei during the day, and she was in a bad mood, and besides, it was not safe for her to run around by the river in the city alone, go, go." ”
Kirk looked at the little chubby with a sad face and walked to the door with a sad face, and quipped: "Such a cute little Lori wants you to accompany you, and your uncle is still so happy that he is messing around?" This is a little wolf girl, a super fierce man in the future! ”
Xiaopang whispered: "If she wants me to spend the night with her in ten years, maybe the fat man is still interested, and now I want to have no breasts, no buttocks, you think I have pedophilia?" ”
Kirk slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't think about it!" I asked you to keep an eye on Alia, on the one hand, to protect her, the enemy knows that this little aunt and grandmother love to wander around, and will definitely fight her idea, and secondly, Arya has broken the conspiracy against Ed in the plot, you have to try to obtain the corresponding evidence, so as to fight back against the other party's conspiracy! The task is heavy, be careful, we are always waiting for your code. (To be continued......)
