Chapter 9: The First Teammate

"If anyone here dares to stand up and deny that the most beautiful and noble girl in the world is the **** lady in the **** region, then I will challenge that person to a duel, whether on horseback or on foot, without waiting for the other party to kneel or die in battle, and I will never give up.

Looking at the knight competition scene in front of him, Martin suddenly thought of this sentence that often appears in knight novels.

He couldn't help but smile. In a sense, he is now a knight as well. However, he had no intention of spreading Liukrisa's reputation in this way - besides, he didn't know Liucrexia's real name.

He just put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small metal box. He opened the box and looked at one of the edelweiss flowers in it with a gentle eye. It was plucked from his wandering life after completing that adventure against the black-robed Bull. Who among the cultured people on this continent doesn't know the meaning of the edelweiss, which represents purity and courage and love...... How many young people risk their lives to climb steep mountain cliffs just to pluck an edelweiss flower and dedicate it to their sweetheart. And this one picked by Martin is completely different. Because as a spellcaster, Martin has too many ways to easily overcome the harsh environment. So, to show his determination to sacrifice everything for love, Martin deliberately picked this edelweiss in a dead magic area. For the sake of this little white edelweiss, Martin risked his life and climbed hard for a long time like an ordinary person.

Originally, Martin had planned to give her the edelweiss flower after meeting Lyukrixia. However, the world is unpredictable...... Now, Martin can only secretly decide to give it to Liukrisia after she wakes up,

Martin put away the edelweiss, and then squeezed into the front row to see the knight's joust, which he had also seen on occasion when he was younger, and at that time, because he was small, his adoptive father carried him on his shoulders......

As his mind was reminiscing about the past, it wasn't until the cheers of the audience began that Martin noticed what was happening in the fieldβ€”the spears of both knights slammed into each other's shields, snapping with a loud crackling sound, and the fragments scattered in all directions. It was indeed a wonderful scene and very ornamental. But Martin was no longer an ignorant serf, for he had heard the chivalrous knight JosΓ© tell that the spears and spears used by knights in jousting were grooved in order to bring about this effect.

The two knights struggled to rein in their horses, then rode back to the edge of the field and took the new spears from their retinues. Once again, the two knights galloped towards the center of the arena, holding their spears steady. All the audience held their breath and waited for that moment with full attention.

This time, the situation was completely different from the last time, and the knight on the left was stabbed in the helmet by the opponent's spear. The thick barrel helmet withstood the blow, but the knight was unable to balance and fell backwards. As Hosai said, the audience likes to see the knights being knocked out, so the saddles during the jousting are all without a rear bridge, making it easy for the knights to be knocked to the ground.

As the winner was decided, the audience cheered again. And the victorious knight sat on horseback and proudly enjoyed the glory.

Seeing this, Martin was also a little envious. After all, one of his childhood dreams was to become a knight. So he squeezed through the crowd and walked to the place where he had signed up.

After that victory against Black-robed Bull, all the combatants shared a large amount of dividends. And for unknown reasons, at Canion's suggestion, Lady Triste helped Martin forge an identity, and in doing so, Martin was sworn in as a knight. So, now Martin can participate in this joust as a knight.

Yes, Martin had never been trained as a knight, but he was not bad at horsemanship, and he had experience using a spear on horseback. Moreover, when he was in the ranks, the chivalrous knight Jose taught him a lot about the knight's martial arts. With Martin's strength, it is not possible to use the knightly way to deal with those famous knights, but there is still a chance to beat the fledgling young knights.

Martin slowly walked towards the registration site as he tied the knight's belt, a symbol of knighthood, strung with a metal clasp. Normally, Martin never wore it. For the first time, it came in handy today.

Although Martin does not have mounts that can be used in jousting, in a world where precious metals are used as the general equivalent, something golden and round can solve a lot of problems. A merchant who was very interested in the competition, but was unable to participate due to his status, saw the price offered by Martin, and happily rented his mount and armor to Martin.

The businessmen of this era are not necessarily the kind of people with fat brains and fat stomachs. In these harsh times, it is difficult for a businessman to travel from south to north without two strokes. In fact, many businessmen are definitely worthy of being able to fight the sword and go to the end of the world. Having a lot of money results in the mounts and weapons they prepare for themselves, as well as the armor they have very well. Martin's rented mount wasn't a great horse, but it was also one of the best horses in a hundred. The armor is the handiwork of the dwarven master, and for the needs of competitive competition, a steel plate is specially thickened on the chest. The armor itself weighed a full 30 kilograms, and now it was even heavier. However, this is still not as good as the armor that is specially built for competitive competition. Because the environment of the tournament arena is different from the battlefield, the tournament armor can be made very thick without worrying about other problems. In fact, the specialized athletic armor weighed more than 40 kilograms, and it was so cumbersome that the retinue had to use pulleys to hang the knights wearing it from their mounts. Basically, no one went to battle wearing such heavy armor.

Despite being well-armed, Martin was not a true knight after all, and he lacked the so-called chivalry. Therefore, he chose for himself an opponent who seemed to be the least skilled with a spear.

It wasn't long before it was Martin's turn. In the martial arts arena, he has a feeling of being in a different world. The noise of the audience, the ceremonial officer shouted, "Girl, girl, beautiful." A knight knight, armed with a sword. Without a long sword, how can there be a girl. Without a long sword, how can you protect the girl. It was as if they were coming through a layer of glass.

But when the trumpeter blew the trumpet to begin the joust, Martin immediately relented and charged with all his might. His riding skills, his druid's special way of communicating with animals, allowed him to ride this strange horse as easily as he commanded his own arms. This greatly compensated for his lack of marksmanship.

As the horse accelerated, Martin felt his heart beat faster and his blood seemed to boil. It's closer, it's closer, it's close enough to be able to clearly see the patterns on the opponent's armor. He jerked his thick spear into his opponent.

With a loud thud, his spear struck the opponent's shield with precision. Under this powerful attack, the opponent's shield fell in response. And the opponent's spear didn't even touch Martin's side.

In the first round, the winner is decided. Martin managed to shoot down his opponent's shield, and the opponent stabbed his spear gun. As a result, the ceremonial officer ruled Martin in victory.

However, because it wasn't exciting enough, Martin didn't get much cheers. This made Martin feel a little regretful. The main reason is that although the opponent's spear skills are relatively poor, his equestrian skills are surprisingly good, and the strength of his thighs is also extremely good, and he controls the horse tightly. Otherwise, he would have been knocked flying by Martin like a projectile from a catapult, and then rolled on the ground, clutching his hands full of dirt.

Next, it was Martin who waited for the other party to come and pay the ransom. Because according to the rules of knightly jousting, the armor and mount of the loser belong to the winner. If you want to be saved, you must pay a ransom. Therefore, there are many knights who have gone bankrupt because of jousting tournaments.

"Really, brother, you actually lost again...... Alas, I'm your sister, but I have to take care of you like a sister in turn......" Before the other party arrived, the voice had already come, but the content of this passage made people feel weird.

Hearing this, Martin realized that the knight's retinue that he had defeated was not a young man, but a girl, and the knight's sister. Looks like this knight is really poor......

"Brother, you're obviously good at archery, why do you have to come to play with spears. Did you really read those knightly novels and spoil your brains? and named himself Don Serge. Why do we Xikitai people want to participate in this inexplicable competition......"

It turned out to be a Xikitai person, no wonder his equestrian skills were outstanding. After all, that people are well-known nomads, known for their skill in bows and horses. But the girl's point of view was not correct. In addition to the scumbags, the archers were also to charge with spears. Being called an archer does not mean that you do not go to hand-to-hand combat, just as the archers on the island of England have a record of defeating the dismounted knights, it is not uncommon for the archers to beat the knights in hand-to-hand combat. However, what she said is reasonable, if you are not good at spears and guns, there is really no need to participate in this kind of competition and lose all your assets. Martin thought so.

"Dear Knight, my name is Natasha. I know that, according to the rules of the tournament, there is no doubt that my brother's mount and armor should be yours. But please hear me say that my brother was the only one in the clan who could read and hyphenate words, and because he had read a few knightly novels by chance, he had that damn urge to give himself that inexplicable name, and to participate in these inexplicable competitions. Lost all your possessions. At present, his mounts and armor are also on loan. We can't afford to pay you the ransom, I don't know if you can ......"

Then she stopped, looking up at Martin with those blue eyes. Her eyes told Martin what she meant next.

"If that's the case, I don't force it. But at the moment I am short of a partner, and I wonder if your brother will be able to join me on an adventure as my partner. Not only will I waive the ransom, but I will be able to pay a large commission to your brother. Martin suggested.

It wasn't a whim. It was something that came to mind when I heard the girl reprimand her brother just now. The Sikitaeans are known for their bravery and warlikeness, and these nomads are expected to have little to do with his status as a Starch Spencer Druid. And loyalty, many times, once sworn and agreed with in the heart, the barbarians are far more loyal than the civilized people. So Martin set out to hire them. Martin felt that it was much safer than hiring adventurers in Hughsburg.

"But, because of some things in the clan, my brother must rush back within a month!" said the girl, embarrassed.

Just as Martin decided to give up, the girl suddenly made up her mind and said, "Well, please allow my brother to go back and settle the affairs of the clan." I'm here to accompany you on your adventures. ”

As soon as these words came out, the knight who had been hanging his head just now raised his head and looked at his sister with shocked eyes. But the girl confidently continued: "Don't look at me like this, my strength in the clan is also one of the best." If not, I can show you a little bit later. ”

Then, she stopped her brother's refusal and reprimanded him again. Seeing the knight bow his head again, Martin couldn't help but feel that it would be a relief for him to take his sister away from him...... Just as the eaglet is about to leave his parents to spread his wings and soar, this knight should really leave his sister's shadow.

Still, the knight plucked up the courage to refute his sister, saying that an unmarried maiden should not go on adventures with a stranger far from her people. But his sister inexplicably insisted that she must take the risk with Martin to pay off her debts.

Next, Natasha found a vacant lot and showed Martin her martial arts. Whether it's archery, axes and swords, she's doing a great job. Moreover, even the use of the spear right away, she did quite well. In fact, Martin felt that if she had just gone to compete for her brother, it would probably be Martin herself who would have been defeated. In terms of spear and spear alone, she was not much worse than those well-known knights. She certainly doesn't have the ability to stab a coin with a spear gun, but she has demonstrated a great skill in picking out a bracelet at high speed.

What particularly shocked Martin was her riding and archery skills. She is able to shoot targets on a high-speed horse, and she can also shoot left and right or even backwards, which means that she has the ability to attack in 360 degrees at high speeds.

Such an outstanding fighter is exactly what Martin needs. Martin himself is not good at bows and crossbows, and he really needs such a good shooter as a teammate. As a result, Martin made up his mind to include her as a teammate.

And his brother, seeing that he really couldn't stop it, sighed and accepted it all.

However, he made a special request to Martin to swear in the honor of knighthood not to defile the unmarried maiden.

Martin glanced at Natasha. While wondering how the legs of such a young girl who had been riding on a horse all year round could be so slender and straight, she made a serious appearance and swore to Natasha's brother.

And just like that, Martin found his first teammate.

On May 26th, I suddenly got a lot more book reviews, and I got 30,000 hits. Then I looked at the number of collections and found that there were 42 votes in two days. It makes me very strange. Was there anyone who came to see this novel at that time for something that could tell me what happened?

I'm sorry, but because of the rush of time, this chapter is really not well written. But I finally added the role of Natasha. Let's take a closer look at her in the next chapter.

The Scythians are a very nomadic people, and it is said that according to genes, the Russians are in a sense their descendants. The most well-known Scythian record was accomplished by one of them, the Parthians. In that battle, the Parthians captured seven Roman eagle banners. Note that the Parthians did not have a regular army at all, and their system was similar to that of the feudal fiefdoms of the Middle World. It was such a feudal army, and it was a professional Roman legion of so-called classical militarism. After that, the Parthians also had the record of incapacitating the two Roman legions.

In other words, when I watched the Holy Grail War, I felt that many things were inexplicable. So I took a look at Baidu. It turned out that the original setting of mending demons came from this! It turned out to be Shirou OXsaber in the game.,To mend demons! It's really embarrassing.。

It's Children's Day again...... I miss the days when I was able to celebrate Children's Day...... Can't you give a day off on May Fourth Youth Day? Can't you give a day off on May Fourth Youth Day? Can't you give a day off on May Fourth Youth Day?
