Chapter 16: The Knight Laureate
Just as Stannis was about to get on it, he was held down by a person.
"Boss, how can I miss this opportunity to be in the limelight?"
It was Robert, who looked at Stannis with a serious expression, expecting to give him the opportunity for this duel.
Haha, I'm worried, let's take the initiative for the dead ghost. Stannis was snickering, but he still didn't move, and said, "This guy has insulted me so much in public, how can I give up exercising my right to duel as a knight!"
Robert hurriedly approached him, "Boss, anyway, you have such a beautiful fiancée, you have to let me solve the lifelong problem, there are so many noble ladies here today, it is a good time for me to make a name for myself and recruit a son-in-law! Please, boss." ”
When it came to this, Stannis also decided not to continue, so he nodded and pretended to be extremely reluctant to say: "Okay, don't say that the eldest brother usually doesn't take care of you, this duel will be given to you." ”
Robert was overjoyed, "Thank you, Boss!"
Stannis stepped back and shrugged at Anister to say he couldn't do anything.
Robert had already drawn his sword and walked towards the center of the square.
As soon as Garo saw that his opponent was not Stannis, he immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "My opponent is Stannis, not a casual wandering mercenary, get out!"
"You say I'm a wandering mercenary!" Robert jumped to his feet angrily, "Tell you, I'm a knight canonized by Sir Maurice!"
"Sir Maurice!" immediately caused a commotion among the people around him as soon as he heard the name.
Sir Charles Morris, this is a thunderous name, he has the title of 'the first swordsman of East Loyk', it is rumored that the duel never missed, and the person who died under his rapier could swing around the city, and Stannis was impressed by his sworn friend, it turned out that this guy was so big.
Garo was also a little afraid, if he was really a knight canonized by Sir Morris, it meant that his sword skills must have been recognized by the other party, then he was very passive.
But the whole young baron rolled his eyes and thought, "You are not him, why can you duel in place of him." ”
Robert raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had known that he would say this, "I am his acting knight, so I am solely responsible for all dueling matters." ”
[Acting Knight System] is a privilege that is only applicable to lords above the title of marquis, because most of the nobles in this position are fat or old, and it is a big joke to let them duel with swords, so they invented a genius system - the system of acting knights, where a nobleman above the marquis can appoint a samurai as his acting knight to fight and duel with people, and he is solely responsible for the consequences of victory or defeat.
Stannis really loves the person who invented this system now, and he showed his face proudly, "Yes, I am an earl, and I am qualified to find a acting knight, and if I am not satisfied, I will be beaten!"
Garo glared at him, he didn't expect this guy to be so shameless, he was young and strong to find a acting knight, and he didn't have any sense of honor as a knight.
"Well, then let me defeat your acting knight, and then stomp on your head, and let Miss Anne know what kind of gentleman is qualified to marry her. ”
Stannis stuck his tongue out at him, then shouted at Robert, "Don't let me down, Radish!"
Robert turned his head, clenched his fists and pointed his thumb at himself, boasting, "Don't worry, boss, I'll make a move...... Hmmm!!"
A dark shadow had already swooped down on him, it was Garo, and he appeared in front of Robert almost in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that no one had shouted for the duel in this world.
"How did you sneak attack!" cried the Broken Knight, dodging the blow in disarray.
"There are so many rules for dueling with a proxy knight. Garo said as he stabbed several swords in succession.
"So fast!" Although he didn't understand this Western-style sword move at all, Stannis could still distinguish the difference between fast and slow.
But those attacks didn't have much effect on Robert, who kept backing away, avoiding his opponent's edge and starting to fight back.
When Garo was too late to recruit him, Robert decisively grasped the flaw, and he swung his backhand, resulting in a sword wind that had already torn the enemy's coat.
All Gaaror could do now was to block with his sword, but anyone with a discerning eye saw that his hasty defense would not work, and it would only delay the time of defeat.
"Haha, worthy of being my good brother, give me a hard beating!" Stannis had already begun to celebrate with his crown, completely ignoring the flag.
But really, how can you lose when the sword is slashed in the face?
Robert also thought so, so he decided to play a trick, in order to be able to clearly show his heroic posture like the noble ladies around him, he did not directly chop but took the initiative to fight the sword, and suppressed the opponent's defensive sword back with a hard method.
"Boom"!
There was a loud bang, and the two swords collided with each other with a loud bang.
And Robert's sword was immediately broken into two pieces!
"Hmm!" Robert and Stannis were stunned by the change.
They also dreamed that they could lose if they really did.
Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Robert said to himself: "I knew that I shouldn't have taken the family heirloom sword as a pawn, so I bought such a rusty sword." ”
"You guy play with me!" Stannis was furious.
At this time, Garo spoke, "According to the three terms of the duel, the person who breaks the sword is considered the loser, but I don't mind if there is an extra life under the sword. ”
Robert immediately threw the hilt of his sword to the ground, "I surrender!"
Garo turned his gaze to Stannis, and he immediately felt that the end was coming, because he knew that it was his turn next.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a loud and rich baritro voice sounded.
Stannis immediately looked at the source of the sound as if he had found a savior.
A handsome knight slowly stepped out of the crowd, he was burly, graceful, with dazzling blonde hair, and his features were carved like statues to perfection, like a god descending from the earth, and Stannis admitted that there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
The knight's appearance also caused a commotion, even more shocking than when he had just been revealed to be the son of the dragon, especially the ladies, and Stannis clearly saw a few of them fainting with handkerchiefs.
Isn't it just a very handsome skin, this is too exaggerated!
Stannis grinned back and tried to laugh at the women with Anne, only to find that his fiancée's eyes had changed.
He secretly screamed badly and quickly waved his hand to distract her.
"Sir Garro, can you please refrain from using force again, after all, this is the Marquis's banquet, and I think he also hopes that there will be no blood in this peaceful atmosphere. "The 'god' said seductively, his voice soothing, but with an irresistible majesty.
This time, Stannis was on the side of Galo, who had just wanted to be beaten up, and he now desperately hoped that his rival would punch this flawless man in the face.
But Garo had clearly disappointed him, and the man put away his old unruliness, and nodded as if flattered, "Of course, of course, Lord Bellandi, since you say so, of course I will do so." ”
With that, he withdrew his sword from its scabbard and retreated into the crowd.
[Bellandi], Stannis was shocked by this person's experience after just thinking about it a little, this guy is the famous 'Knight Laureate', known as the brightest jewel in the knight's crown, since his debut, he has specialized in doing good deeds, up to slaying dragons and killing demons, down to helping the old and loving the young, this guy is simply a walking treasure book of goodness, and what can be photographed is that his external beauty and internal strength are equally strong to the point of exaggeration, so perfect that people want to be jealous to death.
At this moment, the tall knight walked in the direction of him and Anist, and he could clearly feel Anne's breathing immediately become rapid beside him.
Beorandi stopped, and did not speak, as if to give them time to admire his handsome appearance, and when the time was almost up, he leaned down and gave Anne a standard knightly salute, "I don't frighten you, noble Miss Anist." ”
Seeing that her childhood sweetheart was too excited to speak, Stannis had to answer on her behalf, "No, and thank you for helping just now." ”
Beorandi didn't seem to care about him, he just replied politely: "This is what should be done in the future, after all, it is a pity that you can't show a strong reputation." ”
Stannis pouted disdainfully, this guy is a little too narcissistic.
"So, Miss Anist, who is as beautiful as the legend says, could I ask you to dance with her? Bellandi gracefully held out her hand.
"Call me Anne. The girl smiled sweetly, and then gently took the other person's hand and stepped into the middle of the square.
And Stannis, this fiancé was thrown aside.
It turns out that such a thing as a green hat can't be avoided anywhere.
Now, in this convivial ballroom, the only unhappy ones are Stannis and Robert, because they have all been stolen from the show by this new guy.
"I hate this guy. Stannis said sourly.
"Agreed. Robert agreed.
"In addition to being handsome, this guy has a noble character, and thick blonde hair, where is there a little bit like our brothers. "Stennis feels pretty good about himself.
"You can't say that, this guy is still talented, I just overheard those women say, the big thing under that guy is a bit exaggerated, how to describe that word, it's called ......"
"Three points into the wood?"
Robert laughed and patted Stannis on the shoulder, "Well said, Boss, you're going to euhale me, I didn't expect your pun to be so slippery." ”
The two forgotten fellows took the distant Beorandi brush, but this did not affect the charming smile of the knight laurel floating from the noblewoman girl.
This may be the insurmountable gap in pickling girls.
