Chapter 33: Spear Showdown
Although the two of them hurried to the arena, it was still too late.
When they arrived, the racecourse was already crowded with people, most of whom were villagers from the surrounding countryside who went to the city to watch the excitement.
At this time, the crowd erupted in exclamations from time to time, which tickled Stannis's heart.
After all, he hadn't personally experienced a real medieval duel.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked towards the noisiest place, but unfortunately the crowd in front of him was impenetrable.
"Hey, make way for the noble Count!" Stannis began to shout at the top of his voice.
It's a pity that the peasants here don't seem to be very conscious, and no one makes way for Stannis.
"Diao Min!" the lord who wanted to play official power but didn't succeed spat.
A big man with a tiger's back turned his head and glared at him, "Who the fuck are you talking about!"
Stannis hurriedly nodded with a smile on his face, "I'm really sorry to disturb you, little mouth, look at it slowly!"
"Boss, let's squeeze through. Robert, who was next to him, looked equally anxious because the cries were getting louder and louder.
Apparently that was the end of it, Stannis rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a big fight.
If you stuff two garlic into your mouth at this time and roar in your throat, it will definitely have an amazing effect.
After fighting side by side, the two big men finally squeezed into the front row, and Stannis couldn't count the number of times he was greeted by his mother along the way, but he still grabbed the advantageous position with an extremely thick face.
In the middle of the racecourse, several stacks of arrows are erected in the square, and 50 meters away several archers are shooting arrows at them.
"I'm trying out my arrows!" Stannis was disappointed, and in his current life, he had always skipped archery competitions while watching TV.
"Don't be in such a hurry, boss! It's not bad to take a look at the archery competition as a warm-up, and these are long-established archers, and they shoot very accurately!"
"It turned out to be just a mat race. Stannis glanced at the excited crowd around him and felt that these hillbillies had never seen the world.
Robert was as excited as if he had discovered a new continent, and he shook Stannis's shoulder and pointed to the edge of the square, "Boss, look, that's not the hunter in your territory, what's it called...... That's right, it's called Kanye!"
Stannis followed his fingers, and sure enough, there was a black man standing there, holding a short bow in his hand and bowing his head in silence, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"Quite stylish, I don't have any impression of him. Stannis checked twice in his mind, and was sure that there was no memory of the whole person.
"Of course, boss, you either go out to be happy or nest in the castle to be happy, how can you ever see this kind of lone ranger hunting alone in the east of the river!"
"Oh, that's amazing!" Stannis didn't expect such a powerful guy in his territory, and he waited to see a good showdown.
It was the hunter's turn to strike, and he just shot a few arrows honestly and won the archery competition.
Stannis was there with his mouth open for a long time......
After the match, the champion was given five gold coins and a silver arrow as a prize, and it seems that the archers were not very well received, and the value of the prize was nothing compared to that of the knight's champion.
However, Stannis still thinks about this money, is there a personal income tax in this era?
After the archery competition, several servants hurriedly went to the field to disassemble and carry the arrow stacks, and began to clean up the field to prepare for the next main competition.
"It's time to start. Robert couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said.
But Stennis was more interested in the people on the viewing platform opposite.
A large group of brightly dressed nobles sat there, and in the center of the main seat sat a middle-aged man with pure white hair, who seemed to be the patriarch of the Wolf family, and the old Marquis of Wolf was whispering to the guests next to him from time to time, and at his feet, a large group of children with the same silver hair sat in a row.
"These are all from the Wolf family?" Stannis said in surprise, he didn't expect this family to be so prosperous.
Radish next to him glanced at it, "Yes, they are all cubs of the wolf family, he and his wife have nineteen sons and six daughters, which is very peculiar, not including his only illegitimate child." ”
"Is this guy a stallion? ”
"The Marquis of Wolff was notoriously faithful to his wife, and so many children were born to his only wife. ”
"Then isn't his wife either pregnant or on the way to pregnancy all her life. ”
Radish shrugged, "Almost." ”
Stannis couldn't help but ponder, "Then why old Stantin, no, I mean how did my father give birth to only one of me in his life, he has so many mistresses, there must be a lot of illegitimate children outside." ”
Radish shook her head, "That's fine, so that someone can replace you...... Ah no, I mean that you are indeed the only descendant in your family, and if it weren't for your dragon roar, old Romon would even wonder if you were the blood of the Stantin family in your body. ”
It's really strange enough, after so many women, there is only one left, and it seems that this Stannis was a lone survivor when he was still a sperm.
Robert was already impatient, and he shouted, "Oh my god! Why hasn't the competition started! I've just been squeezed so much shit that I'm going to come out!"
Stanis ignored his companion's foul remarks, and his interest shifted to the white-haired wolf cubs, who didn't seem to have any familiar faces, neither Evelyn as a raven, nor her eldest son, Patkins, nor even her eldest daughter, Fanny, whom he had met in the morning.
This is peculiar, those important characters with names and surnames do not arrange appearances, what does it mean to arrange a bunch of dragons in front of them?
Unlike Stannis, who had been watching them, the Wolf family on the opposite side was so focused on the knights who were about to play that they didn't notice that their nemesis, the Sons of the Red Dragon, was hiding in the crowd and watching them.
With thunderous applause, the first team of knights who were about to face off entered from two directions, and the two knights on their horses were heavily armed, holding spears and shields.
"Finally, it's finally begun!" shouted Robert, clenched into his fists.
The crowd shouted frantically, wave after wave, and under the background of this atmosphere, Stannis felt his blood boiling.
At this moment the arbiter of the meeting, Sir Spa Town, who was also the master of ceremonies, stood up and shouted in his trademark loud voice.
"Let's go!"
With the impatient neighing of the horses, the spear duel between the knights finally began.
