087.Goldfinger - Dragon's Power (1)
In the past, she didn't particularly like this kind of banquet, but this time it was different.
She even deliberately took Bran's hand.
Once people are infected by love, the weak will become tough, and the miserly will become generous.
The princess, who has never liked to attract people's attention, is abnormal at the moment.
"Lord Lord, since you are a descendant of the Dragon Slayer, you must have excellent swordsmanship, and you can appreciate the sword practice later."
Wallon took a long sip of wine and followed the family elders.
But as soon as he spoke, the strong smell of alcohol made Vesta a little uncomfortable.
The body also stepped back a little, and the careless Wallon didn't pay attention.
He can't observe Vesta's affection, and unless it is forced by the royal family, it is destined to be difficult to be with Vesta.
"First meeting, Walloon Grana."
In a friendly gesture of reaching out to him, Bran also reached out and shook it.
The moment you touch it, you realize that something is wrong.
Wallon's palms were rough and his grip was strong, and at that moment, blue tendons suddenly appeared on Wallon's face, and he used a very strong force to hold Bran's palm, trying to make this woman-like knight look ugly.
It was another act by Walloon to make a fool of himself in front of Vesta.
In the past, when he protected Vesta, he used this method to deal with pesky places or foreign nobles.
He can always hold the other party in pain and beg for mercy.
He had also told Vesta about it.
Vesta is in the transition period from a girl to a woman, and of course understands the relationship between men and women.
Coupled with the fact that she had heard the news, Wallon proposed to her grandfather.
The move in front of him, just like before, was going to make Bran look ugly.
"First meeting, Bran Chaman."
Bran immediately reached out his hand.
It may not have worked before, but after feeling the power of the white dragon, Bran's "pain reaction" has slowed down a lot.
His grip was not as strong as the other's, but there was a pain in his head, and he walked extremely slowly, so that he could hold Wallon like this without changing his face.
Wallon didn't feel that Bran had a lot of strength, but Bran didn't change his face, making him think that Bran retained his strength, and when he found that the other party didn't make a fool of himself, he relaxed and retracted.
When Deman saw this, he cried out, "Enough, it is a woman's etiquette to shake hands, and when you shoot a bow with a sword, I will give him the 'Kingdom Orb'." ”
It's a pun on the fact that the orb can be said to be a treasure, but Vesta was also held in the palm of King Deman's hand as a baby, and called it the orb.
Obviously, this is not an ordinary pair of swords, and there is a meaning of choosing a new member of the royal family.
The environment was too noisy, Bran ate a little more, and chose to leave the table first, and after the female officials led him to clean, he went to the palace, and the male dependents were allowed to breathe in the range of activities.
Vesta followed after cleaning.
Looking at the oncoming person, "Don't you talk more to the elders?" Bran asked, lying under a large tree.
The shade of the trees was cool, the birds chirped, and Bran even wanted to sleep.
"I want to be with you now."
Vesta was close and lay down, and the two were very close.
While speaking, Wang Nu also took out a bag of "wood frankincense".
At that meeting, she knew that Bran had it with her to relieve the pain, and she asked the royal merchant to buy some from the Aegean port.
"In the future, we will also plant this frankincense tree in the territory, and you can eat it whenever you want."
"No, the climate is different, and if you plant it in Swabian, it's just an ordinary tree."
"Really?"
"A lot of people want to marry you, I can see that. That nobleman named Wallon has a lot of strength. ”
"Are you hurting?"
As Vesta examined Bran's palm, a soft breeze hit him, blowing his hair, and Bran reached out his other hand to ruffle Vesta's bangs.
Bran reached for Vista on his waist, and the two of them were close together.
Vesta blushed and turned away, but he was weak.
The little face was gently moved back by Bran.
Bran opened the bag of wood frankincense, took out one, and began to chew.
"It's a little different from what I eat, and in the Aegean Sea, there are several origins. This kind is supposed to be an offshore island near Constantinople...... I'd love to go to the castle once, to see the place, to see the Aegean giants, and if I go northeast, I've been told that it's a herd of cows, sheep and horses, thousands of Black Sea meadows, and you know, there are a lot of heroic lords there. The Ottoman Tiger, the steppe Khan, the Mazar Butcher, to the southeast, there are the Leper King in the east, the Tailius of the Abbasids, and the White Elephant King in Tianzhu farther away...... The world is vast......"
"Then I...... I bought the wrong ......" Vesta became more and more ruddy, and his tone was very light.
This kind of territorial affairs is not a woman's business, and she doesn't understand everyone, but this answer makes Bran feel cute.
"You try mine." Bran also took out the wood frankincense he brought with him.
He gestured to feed Vesta, who opened his mouth and Bran put in and "sealed" Vesta's mouth.
After a long time, the two separated, their eyes facing each other, and Vesta leaned against Bran's chest.
"If you don't marry me, I'll die."
Hearing this again, Bran wanted to reply, "Until death separates us." ”
But the bad intuition that rose in my heart was not spoken after all......
Maybe you're doing something wrong?
The boredom can't be dissipated for a long time......
……
Today's weather is cool, even at noon, it is not hot, and the preparation tables have been set up.
There are young knights from the place who are more than swords, nobles from the royal court, and Gentiles like Bran.
There are not many female dependents, all of them are female officials and royal families.
There are no civilian spectators, so the Nuoda grassland is particularly empty.
If it is compared to the knight's horse fight, the injury rate is too high, so there is no need to test the knight in this kind of examination, it is really comparable, at most it will be better than riding and shooting.
This is one of the martial arts training that came from the East.
This grassland has three tracks, a two-story green grandstand with the sun on the back, and the heat cannot be transmitted at all.
How the contestants test depends on King Deman's mind.
On a whim, he can just let the contestants shoot arrows for an afternoon, or even fight empty-handed.
The reward also depends on the mood of the king, and can be gold, a female official, or even a generous village territory.
But most of these places are on the border, and the royal flag is often changed, and if you want to get back the right to rule the land, you even have to scrape together money to fight it yourself.
Bran did the math, adding that he had a total of eight players who were young or not-so-old.
Not all of them are going to marry Vesta either, and some of them are probably just making up the numbers.
Behind each of them is a family crest, with Bran representing the Templar Overseer and the Cross of Light.
Wallon stood side by side with Bran, a head taller than Bran.
"Boy, I'll crush your body, and if you're afraid, give up Vesta, you're Italian, and we're not the same Swabians by nature."
Bran heard the words, "You try. ”
……
King Deman thought about it for a while and decided to come up with a way to fight - a round of "sword matching" first.
The sword is not necessarily used for the sword, and the weapon and armor are at your disposal.
One-on-one in the middle track.
The hard stones on the ground are cleared first, and some small gravel is left out of the way.
