A day later, Ghazi's order spread, and the two hiding-hiding riders were about to enter the territory of "Rad Walker" when they were spotted by soldiers, and one of them was shot and killed.

A young man with more skilled horsemanship was left to flee on horseback, and halfway through the run, the horse was broken, so he had to abandon his horse and hide in the mountains and forests to escape from the pursuit.

Durham County had a great reduction in thieves at this time, so there were many barren but safe forests, and as long as they did not encounter wild beasts, and they carried water and dry food, they were not as dangerous as before.

The man carried heavy armor, and when he was hungry, he ate the wheat cakes on his body, which were as hard as stones, and when he was thirsty, he drank the mountains and water.

He had been lost and headed for Durham, but was driven back and found his way to Northumbria.

He was going to seek refuge with one of the elders of the family.

Hurry as fast as you can, ask people along the way, and finally enter the "Dan Castle" in Ella's territory three days later.

He was lucky, if he had come a few days earlier, in front of the "Dancheng Alliance", it would have been difficult for him to ask the name of this elder.

But now the reputation of this elder has spread throughout Dan - this man is the Knight of "Koben Hagen".

The holder of the "Twelve Star Flags of the Round Table" and the only winner of the Ella side in the tournament.

The man could not produce any identification, so he could only show the guards what little bit of silver he had left.

"Where's this coin?" The captain of the guard saw the pattern on it for the first time.

"From Kent." The man lowered his voice and face, and was reluctant to look directly at people.

Under his wide burqa, with the sword at his waist pressed against his right hand, if the guards found anything, he might have to flee again!

Fortunately, after the captain of the guard asked, he was satisfied with the fact that he took back the money bag and did not make any further move.

"You can't enter, the king is still here, it's late today, I'll send someone for you to spread the word, you come out tomorrow, come back like this."

So the man spent the night in a grass hut in the square outside the city, using a copper plate, and hiding under the shed with annoying mosquitoes.

Since he fled, he has become accustomed to such days. He lay down against the pillar, his hand gripping tightly under the wide burqa, and only then could he feel safe......

At the same time, Knight Cobain was in a blacksmith shop in the inner part of the city, having a soul exchange with a widow (mistress).

The woman's husband had been dead for three years, and she inherited his fortune and was in a state of affairs with men.

Yesterday, Cobain was appointed as the captain of the garrison in Dan.

The woman needed his protection, changed from the original refusal to the initiative, and let Cobain go to her bed today.

Winning Ulf made Cobain famous,

Although many young knights thought that this was Ulf releasing water, the last picture seen by the people in the distance was Cobain holding the knight's sword high, and he was victorious!

Cobain also began to brag to others, and because of his flag, the nickname "Knights of the Round Table" began to appear.

……

Up-up, down-down, left-left, right-right...... Turn over!

The two communicated with each other in "physical arts", which lasted for a small half of the night, and in the morning, the woman woke up,

Cobain actually came to soul fusion two more times, and the woman was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she woke up, but he was still full of energy, and it all started with the victory of the competition.

He even wanted to do it again!

The young blood in the bones is awakened.

Go to the South, Mercia, Wessex...... Even Frank, just win again!

Seeing the sleeping woman exposing part of her body, Cobain suddenly became "disgusted".

It's just a body that is no longer young, why was I so fascinated before?

And when she won the competition, this woman actually took the initiative to send it......

Suddenly disgusted, Cobain left the stone house directly, and he decided not to come to this woman again - the woman who took the initiative to send it to the door was worthless.

When he returned to the castle, in his room, a castle servant came to tell him that there was a man from outside the castle who claimed to be a relative of Knight Cobain.

"Where did I come from?"

"My lord, the guard also relayed a word from the man."

"Huh?"

"When the Plantagenet Blooms ......"

"Got it, you go down first."

Cobain closed the door and sat down in his chair, looking at his knight's sword as he reminisced about his youth......

Thoughts were scattered, and many dusty memories came out at the same time.

He remembered that he had sent a love letter to the illegitimate daughter of a priest.

But one day in the attic he saw the girl and her brother who was the "heir to the baron" entangled like a snake.

A few months later, the girl's belly bulged, and her family casually married a carpenter.

I plucked up the courage to ask my brother, but all I got was a slap in the face, "Cobain, the woman who sent her is worthless, and the things in her stomach must be the seed of some lowly servant." ”

This slap shattered Cobain's beautiful yearning for love.

As the sixth son of the baron's family, his future is uncertain and he can only fight on his own.

At the age of thirty, he found his wife pressed on the bed by his eldest brother, who had just become the "Earl of Yplienshire"!

He had no anger, only fear, fear that his brother would persecute him.

He couldn't resist his god-like brother.

Ten months later, his wife had a difficult birth, and both the adults and the children were called by the Lord's grace.

He was glad about this, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face this child of unknown blood?

And the elder brother only said, "You are my brother, one of the Plantagenets, and the daughter of such a merchant is not worthy of you, so find another one." ”

At the age of thirty-three, he left the "county of Iplins" in the northwest of the Franks in search of opportunities in "Wessex".

But contrary to what he thought, he did not have any chance of success, and slowly he forgot how to hold a sword, became a simple merchant, traveled back and forth to the Seven Kingdoms, and finally became a knight at the court of Ella due to donations.

He went through two more marriages, but the subjects came from worse and worse backgrounds, and no heirs were born.

Now at the age of sixty-two, this is the age near the end of his life.

That day, he saw Oran's arrogant eyes and voice, or rather confident eyes, in the church.

He seems to be like the "brother" who brought the family to the top!

For a moment, Cobain saw the two as the same person.

Since he was dying, he wanted to be as majestic as a man before he was laid to rest in the cemetery - so he stood up......

When the knock on the door was reopened, and the position of the sunlight above penetrating the punch changed, Cobain came back to his senses, only to realize that it was already dusk.

He got up and sat down three times in a row, each time in a different position, and only the fourth time he decided to see the young man.

He took his knights with him, and when he walked out of the castle, passers-by saw him and respectfully called him "Lord Knight."

Yes, what's so terrible, "Plantagenet" is already dead, and the most this child can do is to seek refuge.

Cobain came to the city gate, and in the direction of the captain's finger, he saw a man curled up and crouched on the ground in the distance.

Cobain walked over, his steps were heavy, and the knight's apprentice behind him walked with much more majesty, and he had received many benefits lately by relying on the limelight of his master.

When the man, who had a dry mouth, heard footsteps, he turned back sharply and found an old man approaching a boy who was at most eleven or twelve years old.

The man got up and slapped the dust, straightened up, and respectfully performed a set of etiquette to his elders as Cobain approached.

For the first time, the apprentice saw this type of salutation, with his right arm against his left chest, his right foot facing back, half-bent down, and then his head aimed at the palm of the other's hand.

The young man looked seven or eight points like his obnoxious brother, and Cobain suddenly wanted to kick him......

Eventually, Cobain slowly reached out and stroked the man's hair.

"When the gorse blooms." The man read.

"Momentum like a bird, bright and open!" Cobain's heart was beating fast.

"Whose child are you?" Cobain asked.

"My father is Juan Hagen, my brother is Zora Hagen, and my name is Eckhard Hagen."

"Eckhard, come with me."

The man followed Cobain into the castle and back to Cobain's room, where the door closed and the apprentice was sent down.

"Eat." Cobain pointed to the food on the table.

Echard glanced at him, nodded at Cobain, and gobbled it up.

Once an elegant aristocrat, now hungry licking the plate like a dog.

"I hugged you, and when you were two years old, I went back to Iprinshire once."

Looking at the grandson blood relatives of the eldest brother's lineage, it has become like this, Cobain has a complicated mood, he didn't expect that there will be such a day.

"How did you find me?" Cobain asked.

"You send back letters every year, and I opened them. Grandfather, all our relatives in the Franks, were killed, I was arrested, and I didn't want to go east to Denmark, so I had to cross the sea. ”

"Doesn't the family also have an estate in the Kent area?" Cobain asked again.

"Baldwin's hand stretched too long, and the local lord was also bribed by him, and when I entered the manor, the local lord received the news and wrote to pretend to entertain us, but in fact he wanted to kill us, I originally brought fifteen men, and after a fierce battle, only four escaped!"

Echard poured himself a glass of ale, which had previously been "urine" to him, but now, not wanting a drop left, he poured another glass.

"What are you hiding from me?" Cobain asked.

The sudden appearance of his nephew and the "contest of judgment" that spread throughout the Catholic world made Cobain uneasy.

But this nephew, judging from his appearance alone, must be the bloodline of his brother, as his own relative, he is still willing to help with this.

My brother treats himself badly, so bad that he can sleep with his wife!

But he was also very good to himself, he was captured by the Vikings, and it was still his brother who personally led the troops to redeem himself.

The elder brother took away his dignity as a man, but he also gave himself a chance to live.

Complex emotional pressures made Cobain choose to leave Iprin in the end.

Echard put down his glass, looked into Copben's grandfather's eyes, and after not feeling the slightest threat, he let down his guard and said slowly, "I killed someone." ”

"Who hasn't killed anyone? My brother, your own grandfather, liked to say that he had nothing to do, go and fight with a few lords on the border, and kill a few people. Isn't it?"

"Henry. Hagen", the largest territory of the family, once spanned the three counties of the Franks, and was a powerful border count. Because of his short stature, he was called "Henry the Shorty" by the people of the time.

"Kill the lord's men? It doesn't matter, Kent is too far from here. "Cobain looks confident.

"I was hunted everywhere, I was forced to flee from the 'Kent region' to 'East Angria' and become a bandit......" Eckhard continued.

"Little things, anything else?"

"I killed a knight who was chasing me......"

"Trifle, what is a knight...... What's the knight's name?"

"I don't know, his sword is very special, the body of the sword is like a 'long needle', and the speed is so fast......"

"Needle Sword...... Isn't it called Sigis!"

"No, but I heard the knight cry 'Sigis' or something before he died."

Cobain's face was a little ugly, Sigis was known as the "sword hunter", and his "bayonet swordplay" was famous throughout southern England.

"Little things...... You continue. ”

"I also killed...... Priest, I don't want to, I'm just leading someone past a chapel, but he wants to harm me and take me to get a reward...... Sorry, grandfather. ”

"Little things...... (Fuck you)!"

"Bishop?" Cobain asked again, and his heart was in his throat.

"No, ordinary priest."

Cobain breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

"You're being hunted by Southern Communications?"

"It should be."

After a long time, Cobain sighed and said, "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will go back to the royal court, you can go with me, cut your hair and beard, and change your name." ”

"Change what?"

"Let's call it Henry, it's my brother's name, he's a bastard, but without him, 'Plantagenet' wouldn't be so prosperous, and now it's up to you to repeat the glory of your ancestors......"

His sixth grandfather scolded his grandfather, Eckhard...... No, it's Henry now - the only option is to ignore it.

"When the matter of the trial of the martial arts came to Britain, it was said that it was caused by the family rebellion, so the lord 'Baldwin' did it, but why do you want to make a 'trial competition', as a nobleman, as long as you surrender, all the clansmen will not be cut off with their hands and beheaded!" Cobain was puzzled.

Echard put down the food and said angrily,

"Grandfather, I'll start at the beginning. Four years ago (861 A.D.), Baldwin, Count of Bruges, came to Brother Zola and said that he was going to do a great thing, only to learn later that he was going to rob the King's daughter. ”

"I know about this, isn't it a normal royal marriage?"

"No, it was the elder brother who joined forces with Baldwin to lure Her Royal Highness to the territory and give people to ......

When this was done, the king angrily sent troops to fight for it, but we sent them back.

The following year, 'Baldwin' approached the 'Apostolic Majesty' to turn the marriage into an orthodox wedding blessed by God, and used a sum of gold and silver to dissipate the king's anger, so it was thought to be a royal marriage......

Henry drank another glass of wine, his face turned red, and he said that he had no scruples.

"This bastard, deceived everyone, and after becoming the king's son-in-law, he attacked the surrounding lords with extremely strong means, and became a supporter of the king, and also created the image of a 'knight of justice'.

I tried to persuade my brother, but he didn't listen and continued to support Baldwin's actions, which he believed could give the declining family an opportunity.

In January of last year (January 864 A.D.), Baldwin ruled the 'Four Lowlands' and became the 'Duke of Flanders', so he changed his title to a surname, and we all called him, 'Baldwin Flanders'.

After he became a duke, his ambitions became even greater, and we became an obstacle to him and began to be suspicious

The territorial autonomy that was originally given to us is also being taken back, and the conflict is getting worse and worse.

In August, we were defeated, but as you said, we were willing to renew our allegiance and preserve our family, but Baldwin said that we were going to rebel against the king, to buy everyone, and to accuse us from the clergy to the nobles, and to tempt us to contest, saying that if we were victorious, they would forgive us.

Brother believes this nonsense again!

Open the castle that can still be defended, send the family knights to participate, and in the end, these participants were all cut off their right arms......

On the day Baldwin stormed, my brother sent someone to help me escape, saying that he had buried 'Plantagenet' and that he had burned everything and ......himself in his lord's hall."

"A knight is a loyal knight, and an earl is an incompetent count!"

"These are my brother's last words," Henry burst into tears, then wiped them dry, choked up, and continued,

"I fled to Kent last October, and what happened next is what I told you about ......"

Cobain was furious, this grandson who died of spontaneous combustion treated his relatives very well, and even to himself, an old man living overseas, often sent letters of greetings and sent things.

Anger made Cobain fearless, and scolded, "This bastard, do you know what his great-grandfather came from?

For the sake of their loyalty as dogs, give them a village as a knight's collar.

Unexpectedly, they were lucky enough to participate in Charlemagne's (Man) War of Imperial Unification, becoming barons in less than ten years, and finally becoming the master of Bruges...... Iron Striker...... Dog stuff!"

Today's Baldwin, with four groups, is powerful, and is known as the "Iron Arm" for his brutal military methods.

Meaning, as long as he waved his hand, it would be difficult to resist the resistance.

"Baldwin Flanders" - the powerhouse of the north-west of the Franks (near the Belgian region of later generations).

"We take revenge, grandfather!" Henry's gaze was steadfast.

"Revenge? Yes, revenge, revenge! Now that Your Majesty is hiring, I want to find a way to get you into the court and become a knight. ”

Only if a person has thoughts in his heart, he has the motivation to struggle, it can be love, it can be envy, it can be blood feud!

At this moment, the hearts of the grandparents are full of forward momentum.

That night, Cobain went to see the princess Hai'an, and brought a gift of jewelry that had been saved up for a long time to seduce other women, and got a promise that he could accompany the king back to the county capital.

The next day, Henry, who had shaved off his messy beard and lost his short hair, replaced himself with the image of a spiritual boy, followed his grandfather to Northumbria, which had the same name as the district.

This is Ella's base camp, with a population six times the size of Dan City, and it is no longer a dilapidated town that can be seen at a glance.

But Henry was not a country boy either, he went to the royal court of Paris as a hostage at the age of six, and saw countless magnificent buildings.

So, for him, it's still the countryside.

Cobain's new position is "Magistrate of the Kingdom", which belongs to the fat shortage of "bullying men and dominating women" before the kingdom is divided between the north and the south.

In the direct collar of the king, there is the right to enforce the law, and if it is not directly collared, there is also the right to supervise the passage.

When young and good-looking newlyweds get married, they even resort to an ancient tradition called "the right of the first night".

But after the split, there are now borders everywhere, and thieves and rebels come to visit from time to time.

Cobain took the initiative to take over this evil shortcoming, but also to give Henry a chance to establish meritorious service, otherwise, it would take him a long time to stay in Dancheng before he could get ahead.

From last night's conversation, Cobain knows that this grandson is very strong!

Although there is no overall concept of how strong it is, from the experience of fighting the Iron Arm and coming to Britain, it is not possible for border thieves to deal with it.

……

Cobain spent two days helping Henry get a fake identity, and now he is the son of the son of Cobain's ex-wife in Frank, because of a local disease and the death of his family, so Henry came to take refuge in him.

If you want to become a knight, you have a good set of equipment, and Coben took out the money he used to buy a cemetery when he was about to die, and gave it to Henry, so that he could make a good armor and sword, and then a war horse, as his knight and follower to patrol the territory with him.

When Henry came to the blacksmith shop in the royal city and looked at it a few times, the craftsman who was striking the blacksmith saw that he had a knight's epaulette on his body, and took the initiative to ask,

"Honorable knight, are you worthy? How many (swords) do you have?"

"How many do I have?" Henry touched his money bag and pulled out nine silver coins, as well as a little broken gold, "Is one handful enough?"

"Not almost."

"How much is your iron and stone?"

"Two pounds of silver for a pound." The master gestured three times more than Henry's budget.

"What? Is your scabbard made of precious stones, or is the hilt made of ivory? ”

"Where is there iron now, most of the iron in the kingdom comes from 'Wales', and 'Wessex' is attacking there, and the tribal leaders on the Welsh side are not enough to protect themselves, if you are too expensive, there is no way, there is not much iron left."

"Okay, with a handful."

"Do you want A?"

"Are you a good one? I want iron armor, not soft armor stuffed into cloth. ”

"I have the king's business papers, can I sell them to you to break the armor?" The master asked the apprentice to fetch a piece of formed iron armor and prepare to rework it.

"Are you a good one?" Henry asked again.

The master of the craftsman was stunned, and the apprentice put down the armor and stared at Henry.

"Do you want more?"

"What if it's thin?"

"You can find a random sword to try, if you cut through, you will take the sword and armor."

"If you lose, I'll give you all the coins I have."

"Okay." The master told the apprentice to drape the armor on an iron frame and hang it.

Henry calmed down and clenched the sword at his waist that had been brought out of the castle and slashed people all the way.

The hand was raised, the sword was raised, and the armor was swept down by the sword light, and a splinter was cut.

Is this King Arthur's "Sword in the Stone" or Charlemagne's (Man)'s "Sword of the Seven Stars"!

The master of the craftsman was shocked, and the apprentice on the side shouted, "You dare to split my armor!"

In the end, the master of the craftsman surrendered, but Henry said, "I don't take advantage of anyone, I will give you all the sons in my body, if it is not enough, I will send someone to send it if I have more room in the future." ”

The master of the craftsman who said this was very appreciative, and immediately looked up at Henry, and took the initiative to ask, "A powerful knight, the sword has a name, and the sword body also has a carving. ”

"Yes, just like the famous 'Knight Coben', he swiped five swords like lightning and knocked down the man from the White Eagle Collar." The apprentice and the craftsman's son.

"Lightning Five Sword?" Henry asked.

"That's right! You are out of the sword so fast, or call this new sword 'lightning'. The young apprentice proposed, his eyes rolling, and then he said excitedly, "The engraving on the sword body reads, 'I will return like lightning.'"

"Okay." Henry nodded and smiled away.

Subsequently, smack!

The master slapped the back of the apprentice's head, "Don't listen to those bards talk about knightly dramas, it's all fart, people will die if they are killed, and those who are good at using the sword will die under the sword." ”

"You don't understand, adventure is a man's romance."

"If 'Lao Tzu' had thought like this, he would have 'got' you on the wall, sold your grandfather's property, and went to fight the Vikings, and now you can still be there?"

In the midst of the noise, a cute girl appeared, "It's time to eat." ”

When the young apprentice saw his fiancée, he stopped arguing with his father.

He went over to the maiden and said, "There is a very good knight here today, and I will give him a good sword, so that he will use it to protect us." ”

"Hmm", the girl is not too dirty to wipe the sweat of the teenager.

When the two of them are together, the hot stove can't make the two of them feel stuffy, but the comfort of the breeze.

It took a long time for the master to renovate the sword that was supposed to be dedicated to the lord in the shop.

Become a "dream product"!

Later, it experienced many fierce battles and was renovated many times.

In the "Seven Swords of Britain" that shocked the "Viking World" in the future,

This "Lightning" outperformed "Stinger" held by "Sigis" and lost to Marcus "Instant Kill" to finish fourth.

As for the first ......

......

......
