Chapter 56: The Missing Helmet
"Where have you gone, come with me quickly, you're coming soon, sir" Ma Shen had just returned to the back preparation area when a servant dressed in red hurried over.
"I just went to the front to take a look. Ma Shen said apologetically to the anxious servant, and then walked briskly after the servant.
Not long after, the servant took Ma Shen to the black rabbit quickly, and after seeing Ma Shen turn over and get on the horse, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew, finally caught up, Sir, I couldn't find you just now, I'm afraid you won't have time to participate in the race, but fortunately it's still too late." “
Then the servant touched the sweat from his forehead and continued: "I heard that you are participating in the tournament for the first time, if you don't understand anything, just ask me, Sir"
"Oh?" Ma Shen thought a little strange, "how do you know that this is my first time participating in a jousting competition"
"How could I not know, your battle with the Demon Mountain yesterday was known to all well-informed people in King's Landing. The servant explained with a smile.
"Hahaha, okay, you can help me roughly explain the rules of the martial arts competition. Although Ma Shen knows the general steps of the martial arts competition, he still wants to hear the specifics, in case he encounters something he doesn't understand.
"Actually, there are no rules for jousting tournaments, it mainly depends on the strength of each knight, and you need to go to the king to pay tribute to the king when you come on the field. The servant picked up a jousting spear from the side and handed it to Ma Shen, "You can't bring a spear and a shield when you salute, if you don't have a squire, I will give the shield and spear to Sir after the salute, and when everything is ready, Sir you can hold up the jousting spear, which means that you can already compete." ”
"yes, I see. Ma Shen took the spear handed by the servant, and felt a little nervous inexplicably, he was fine before, but as it was about to be his turn to play, he became more and more nervous.
Holding the jousting spear in one hand, it was gently tossed upside down, much heavier than a two-handed sword, after all, it was made of solid wood.
Although I haven't used a spear myself, but... Ma Shen touched the somewhat heavy martial arts spear and thought, but after the swordsmanship level reaches a certain level, he will find that it is the same, everything is the same, as long as it is not too strange a weapon, any other conventional weapon Ma Shen can play tricks.
A slogan was heard outside, reminding the knights that they were ready to enter.
"Let's go, Sir, it's time for you to get in. Hearing the slogan, Oak reminded.
Ma Shen casually threw the jousting spear back to Oak, and then took a deep breath.
"Come on, sir, I'll bet you 1 gold dragon coin to win," the servant took the spear and said to Ma Shen secretly.
"What's your name?" asked Ma Shen as he turned to the servant who believed in him.
"My name is Oak," replied the servant.
"Okay, Oak, get ready to get the money, I've won this game. Ma Shen kicked the black rabbit in the stomach and rushed into the tournament.
"Wow!" people suddenly let out a cheer when they saw Ma Shen appear, I really don't know where they have the strength to continue shouting after they have been shouting for so long.
The feeling on the field is completely different from the feeling in the audience, because it has nothing to do with you in the audience, so I don't feel much, but when I get to the field, people's cheers seem to be coming from my ears.
However, Ma Shen did not have a little stage fright in his heart, and he quickly adapted to the environment, and even could clearly hear the hysterical cheers of Elia and Little Nasha, as well as the helpless reprimand of Brother Mordan.
Ma Shen smiled knowingly and patted the black rabbit: "Let's go, black rabbit"
The black rabbit carried Ma Shen and ran to the track in front of the king, and there was already a knight waiting here, this knight was the immortal little Qiangberry, although because he was wearing a helmet, he couldn't see the knight's face clearly from the side.
Without looking at his opponent too much, Ma Shenchao looked at his king and saluted respectfully.
"Hahaha, isn't this the knight I canonized in Winterfell, the wolf slayer!" King Robert seemed to recognize Ma Shen's identity, "Go, don't salute, hurry up and start the game." ”
The people nearby who heard the king's address to Ma Shen immediately whispered: "That is the wolf slayer in the mouth of the bard, and he does look a little different from us." ”
"I think this wolf slayer is quite handsome, look at his eyes, how charming. ”
"I also think that the way he looks in armor is so unique. “
Unaware that he had been remembered by several middle-aged noblewomen, Ma Shen and Berry saluted the king together, and then patted their horses back to their track.
Oak, who had already been prepared, hurriedly bent down and ran over to hand over the spear and shield.
"Huh, sir, where's your helmet?" asked Oak as he was about to evacuate, when he suddenly noticed that the knight in front of him was not wearing a helmet on his head and did not have a helmet on his own hand.
Hearing Oak's question, Ma Shen, who was receiving the jousting spear and shield handed by Oak, suddenly became a little messy.
Damn Jace, he forgot to give me the helmet!!
Seeing the servant holding the red flag high in the distance, this was asking if the knights on both sides were ready, no matter what, Ma Shen scolded angrily, turned his head to Oak and said, "I don't plan to wear a helmet this time." ”
Ha Oak was immediately stunned, without wearing a helmet to immediately compete in martial arts is not afraid of encountering any danger, such as being stabbed in the head with a spear, even if not, the flying sawdust will also affect the martial arts, the seven gods are above, my golden dragon coin is going to be gone.
Ma Shen ignored the stunned Oak on the side, and raised the jousting spear in his hand high, indicating that he was ready.
The spears of both sides were raised high, and then the red flag in the servant's hand waved downward.
Ma Shen burst into a shout, and squeezed the black rabbit's stomach with both legs, and the black rabbit ran up consciously, and continued to accelerate.
"I think Berry is more handsome... Oh my God, look!!The wolf slayer is not wearing a helmet!!" While several girls were still arguing about whether it was Ma Shen Shuai or Berry Shuai, one of the girls suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh my God, he didn't even wear a helmet!" Not only the girls, but everyone saw that Ma Shen was not wearing a helmet.
As the pace of the black rabbit rose and fell, Ma Shen's short bangs were blown away by the accelerating wind, and people didn't know whether to admire this knight's boldness or think that this knight was stupid, but no matter what, they couldn't help but cheer for this unique knight, whether they won or lost, there was another topic of chat.
But no one knew that the heroic-looking knight in front of him was still cursing the forgetful blacksmith owner in his heart.
