Chapter 89: Settle the Trouble
As a super overlord whose strength far exceeds that of any other political entity, Ericon is nominally an ally with Antelli, but in fact he is the boss of the latter, and the Church of Light is also extremely powerful in these younger brother kingdoms, and the Church of Light even has a certain amount of law enforcement power. The king of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was not satisfied with this, but for the sake of never abusing this power, he would turn a blind eye.
"Let's go, I'll leave it to Dieter and me. Grom pressed Rhodes, squeezed the boy lightly on the shoulder, and with a command, turned and walked towards the Order's armed forces who had come to enforce the law.
"Let's go. Dieter made a gesture quietly, and Sylna immediately understood, pulling the boy by the sleeve and pulling him away from the scene. The three dwarves also quickly slipped through the crowd, and half of the field was lost in the blink of an eye.
"Stop, those involved in the brawl must not leave!" the Templar Knight's eyes widened, and she drew the enchanted sword of order given by the Pope at her waist to chase Rhodes and the others - she could legally use weapons in the city, but if the other party resisted, it would immediately constitute a felony. This is the capital of Antelli, and the king will not tolerate such an offense.
"I participated, didn't leave. Grom spread out his right hand to make an innocent expression, pressed the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and took the initiative to meet the enthusiastic law enforcer: "I am willing to cooperate with the investigation, please don't chase the innocent people." ”
Grom was standing beside Rhodes just now, and the armed forces of the Order who arrived hurriedly did not notice his existence, and suddenly appeared, and the female knight of the Templar turned her head when she heard this, and instantly had the illusion that "there is a mountain pressing on her".
The man in front of him couldn't find a flaw all over his body, and at a cursory glance, he seemed to have reached an invulnerable realm...... The trained female Templar Knight's instinctive reaction was to crack the floor and quickly retreat into the midst of fellow Templar warriors, only to realize that Grom didn't even hold the hilt of his sword. In just a moment, the back of the momentum confrontation was already soaked, where did he dare to care about the "outlaws" who slipped away.
......
"I'm a little suspicious that you have a magical constitution that is born to cause trouble. When everyone returned to the inn, Morfan complained weakly, although he was not in danger at all, but the escape process was still exciting enough for fear of being chased by the city administrator.
Pauli snorted, "The trouble is there, but this young man has a talent for spotting it keenly and crashing into it, and he has put this skill into practice to perfection, and I admire the proficiency of this skill." ”
"Grom, is he okay......" Ciri asked a little embarrassed, and the look that Rhodes looked at herself before he started to fight, making her feel as if she was picking up the boy to do something, and if the Great Swordsman was in trouble because of this, it would be bad.
"It's going to be okay, convincing people and making things right are the two things Dieter is best at. Silna comforted them softly, "Wait here, they'll be back before midnight." ”
......
Silna guessed correctly, and only half an hour after dinner, the figures of Grom and Dieter appeared at the door, unscathed and in normal mental state...... It's just that the latter's expression is slightly annoyed.
On the way back, the two had some minor arguments. They are in principle the same attitude to Rhodes for always causing trouble - but Dieter believes that Grom should prevent Rhodes from getting into trouble in advance, while the Great Swordsman insists that he is not qualified to do so, and can only make Rhodes himself realize that impulsiveness can have bad consequences, and slowly correct it.
In short, although it didn't fall out, it wasn't very pleasant.
"How did you deal with it, you can come back so soon?"
"Aristocratic privileges, substitution of gold for sin. Dieter explained lightly, "Don't forget he's a knight. ”
Sylna was a little curious: "But, Grom is a knight of Midland......"
"There are some things in the world that are universal—such as morality and aristocratic privileges. Dieter explains: "Ethics is a code of conduct that we expect others to follow, so we can't violate it in public...... The same is true of aristocratic privileges. If you were an aristocratic official of Anteli, what would you do with a foreign knight who had caused trouble in Sardenberg?"
"Deal with it impartially. The swordswoman replied without thinking. "You can't just treat it as a civilian. ”
Dieter made no secret of his disdain for Sylna's answer: "Hmph, naïve. ”
"I'm sure I want the nobles of Antelli to enjoy preferential treatment in other countries. Rod suddenly became enlightened: "So I will make a rule so that foreign nobles who come to Antaili can also enjoy a certain degree of privilege!"
Did's head is that this kid is not stupid: "Unless you ensure that you and your family and friends will never ask for others in your life, you must leave a line in your work." The so-called 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' is the truth. But fortunately, the Templar chick was frightened by Grom and didn't dare to make trouble, otherwise with the power of the church, even if Grom revealed his identity, it would not be so easy to settle. ”
"Hmph, noble privileges ......"
"Pauli, sometimes I can't stand you. If you think the world is unfair, then go and overthrow this order, and don't always say something coldly. Dieter glanced helplessly at someone who spoke: "But when you overthrow the original nobles and prepare to create the Datong world, you will find that the people who rebelled with you are asking you for special treatment, maybe you will still be a tyrant...... The law is eternal reincarnation, with the development of the times, the existence of privilege and the scope of coverage will become smaller and smaller, but it will never disappear, if you don't believe it, live for 10,000 years to see. ”
Pauli stood on the side against the pillar and didn't speak, and Dieter turned his head to look at Rod: "Don't be complacent, I'm too lazy to say you this time, stay in the hotel tomorrow, if you still want to participate in the competition the day after tomorrow." ”
"Got it!" Rhodes obediently agreed, he saw the scene of someone pulling out a dagger and trying to stab himself in the chaos of the previous fight, although Grom could handle it without making a move, but no matter what, he finally understood why his mother had arranged for a bunch of people to follow him - with his own character and temper, the world was simply full of crises.
***
The youth jousting tournament was far less numerous and complicated than the formal knightly jousting tournament, and the king simply wanted to motivate the younger generation of citizens to exercise and maintain good health, so as to ensure that in the event of war, a bunch of soldiers who could take up arms could be quickly pulled. Selecting the winners and cultivating them is actually just an incidental content.
The next day, Rod didn't go to visit the first round of the second round, and honestly stayed in the hotel to kill the day, just waiting for the official arrangement of the follow-up competition. When the official competition began on the third day, Rhodes rushed to the martial arts arena in advance, and was surprised to find that more tall temporary stands had been built around.
People can no longer be described in more than one word, and the untrained Rhodes can't tell the difference between 10,000 and 100,000 people, and at this time he only feels that people from all over the world are gathered here. Both the common people and the upper class, both the spectators and the participants, were enthusiastically talking about the upcoming game. Although the betting of guessing the ranking is still not possible because there are still too many players, the relevant units have also sent a large number of observers to determine the starting odds of the subsequent knockout rounds based on the performance of the participants.
It is also a beautiful thing to win the championship in such a competition! Rhodes immediately realized this, and immediately entered the players' rest area with his head held high.
I thought that the organizer had already arranged the game, but when I arrived at the scene, I realized that I still had to use a draw to determine the order of play and the opponent...... Then the ranking of your own number one is meaningless!
After drawing a late line-up, Rhodes sat in the bench and quietly began to watch the others' games. Rod almost dozed off as he watched the young people his age jumping up and down clumsily and sluggishly, coming and going. In a daze, he suddenly realized that his invincible swordsmanship class in his student days may not be accidental, not that his classmates were too weak, but that he was too strong - as for whether Grom trained well, or was it really because he was the son of the "Faqin Great Swordsman"?
He personally tends to the former, if he is powerful because of such an old man, wouldn't he be able to get rid of his father's shadow for the rest of his life, and what motivation is there to fight hard in life?
There were two people of the opposite sex that he had paid special attention to: Ciri was still light and graceful like an acrobat when she faced her enemies, her swift and unexpected attacks forced her opponent to scramble, and her nimble spinning dodge made it impossible for them to know where she would stay in the next moment—he had experienced this feeling, and she had managed to keep up with the rhythm and survive the difficulties with her strength and agility, and her opponent today was not so powerful...... There is also the female knight of the temple with a cold face and a solemn face, she is a woman, she actually walks a straight frontal fast attack stream, only giving the opponent a chance to attack, and then it is a clean and sharp onslaught, directly knocking the opponent out of the competition venue, and the referee declares her win.
After grinding for a long time, it was finally his turn to play. He straightened his hair, which was a little messy because he had been sitting for a while, and strode into the preparation area, making a calculation in his heart: this time he can't end the battle in a daze, just let the opponent make three moves first!
