The knights of the Imperial Guard's guards were obviously well trained, and the wonderful equestrian array advanced layer by layer, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, although it was only a short entry, separated, and neatly lined up in the horn, but it was enough to see that they were capable and indeed worthy of pride. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
But the lively opening was followed by a lackluster routine.
"I swear to be kind to the weak. I swear to fight a qiē mistake...... I swear to help my brother knights. I swear that I will die for what I love!"
Not much different from the memories of history, dozens of young men were awarded a set of knightly equipment - glittering golden boots, elaborate zuò chest pins, a pair of double chain mail, a spear made of ash and iron, and a shield decorated with colored iron at the side of the neck. His Majesty then wielded an ancient Finclair sword for him, and then touched the knighthood or knighthood on the knighthood on the knighthood with his sword.
More than thirty aristocratic youths received their rewards in turn, most of them were only knights and lords, but this lowest noble title was given by the king, such as weapons and war horses. It is enough to become the goal of ordinary people's life.
Of course, the forces behind these people made them not value this kind of giving at all, and for Edward, who was already far away from that class, these were just bells and whistles, just barely enough to compensate for the time he spent here and recite some unreliable lines on one knee.
In fact, his attention had already turned elsewhere.
His status as a commoner made him stand at the end of the line, and thus the one who waited the longest, but fortunately the etiquette here was only to get down on one knee, otherwise he would have to think of some way to be absent - fortunately, this posture did not prevent him from moving his vision around, and he noticed that the knight who followed the king did not follow the long staircase -
The familiar, very similar silhouette to James Jr., was enough to make Edward linger......
The simple middle-aged nobleman who kindly helped him lead the way was standing not far behind His Majesty the King at this moment, together with a group of important ministers who were covered with badges and ribbons. In this case, this guy's identity must be unusual, so ...... Who exactly?
Well, there's another group of ...... Those fierce and sturdy aliens must be the attendants of Her Royal Highness the princess sent by Krurod this time, but it is a pity that their master has been hidden in the gauze tent and does not show up lightly.
The priests of Lansendel didn't seem to show up either—although she had known for a long time that as a holy warrior, Elena probably didn't care much about this kind of false title given by the monarch of a country, but ...... It seems that somewhere deep in my heart is always looking forward to that slender figure.
And the name of the second-class viscount that the squire had just sung...... Dami Sebastian Fernandez Jasper?
Fernandez is the name of the Tulip family, a member of the country's royal family, but the surname is followed by a surname, which is how relatives are named...... At this stage, the entire Fernandez family is not prosperous, and the so-called relatives seem to be only the tip of the Golden Pelican.
Well, the name gradually coincided with the one in my memory...... In other words, this guy is his own opponent.
At the beginning of his strange thoughts, the current king of the Kingdom of Tuminis, Alpha Fernandez III, had already come to him.
This majesty, who wrapped himself in a gorgeous armor, was not imposing, and his face was not surprising - except for a faint old wound on his cheek, he even looked like a gentle second-rate nobleman, far from the murderous aura when riding on that pitch-black demonic beast, only a pair of eyes, showing an ethereal blue gray, occasionally flickering, but also able to make people feel the majesty of the king.
"You're Edward Vincent?
The Emperor's voice was gentle and not sonorous, but he did not use the usual set of words: "The young spellcaster who killed a Barlow Flame Demon in Faun City, and the evil mage who summoned it, although I heard about you, I didn't expect you to be so young, your age is ...... Fifteen?"
"Yes, my majesty. ”
The mage apprentice bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "But the ability to defeat the evil mage and his summons is due to the protection of the gods, as well as the influence of your majesty's prosperity and prosperity, and the help of the chief priests of the various temples. With the help of the holy warriors, I will be able to slay the evil leader and drive the demon back into the abyss. ”
"That's good...... Very good, the wings of the young eagle are the easiest to shatter the clouds of the sky,"
Either satisfied with the unwillingness to take credit, or compliments about the fortunes of the country were not often found in this world, the emperor let out a burst of happy laughter, and hastily tapped his sword twice, and ended the ceremony. Then he grabbed Edward and slapped the young man on the shoulder twice—the iron glove clattered at the chain mail, causing the poor apprentice to hang his head and grin quietly.
"Good, good, good...... The future of the kingdom must belong to young people like you. The Emperor turned to all the canonized and began his final instructions: "Young and promising rising stars, they are role models for the servants of the Empire. Although Edward has made certain achievements, you also have a great future and plenty of time, as long as you always take the achievements of the excellent as your benchmark, then you will inevitably achieve more brilliant results. ”
"Ahh......h
An objection interspersed with the words of His Majesty the King, which made the surroundings suddenly fall silent, and among the new nobles, the young man with a somewhat pale face and a thin figure became the subject of everyone's attention.
"Just learn from this Baron Edward...... With all due respect, I don't know much about the events in the city of Faun, but I have heard that the situation was said to be quite chaotic, so certain things ...... It may be somewhat exaggerated and not credible. It's likely that the evil mage summoned something low, just a little bigger. Ah, please forgive me for being blunt, Your Majesty. But truth comes from eloquence, and so, I think, as a mage who pursues truth, Edward...... Your Excellency probably won't mind me being so blunt. ”
"Presumptuous!" was stunned for a moment on the platform, only the speaker was still talking, and then he was cut off by an angry roar. "Damien is young and frivolous, and he is vain...... Please punish Your Majesty!" The plainly dressed middle-aged man took two steps and seemed to kneel to the ground, but before that, the emperor had already raised his hand. "It doesn't matter, Marquis Jasbeth, young man, there's nothing wrong with being more straightforward. ”
The emperor's expression was calm, and he motioned for the ceremony to continue. As if being interrupted was just a trifle.
“...... In the name of the gods of the heavens, and the eternal emperor, Omega Fernandez the Great...... Edward Vincent, canonized as a baron of Burgundy, knighted in the second class...... "As the attendants grew the rank of the last canonized, the ceremony entered the highest court, and the knights in the square took off their horns and played a sombre and long tune, so that countless petals were sprinkled from the sky, and five-colored visions rose from the hands of the mages in all corners of the square, intertwined into colorful patterns in the air.
This means that the ceremony of canonization has ended, and the time for traditional knightly competition has arrived.
......
Looking for a fault? Okay, let's see what tricks you can pull out.
Edward's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the guy who dared to jump out and tear down the stage—even if in a frivolous tone, as if he was telling an innocuous joke. But the meaning of this statement is already a fundamental question, and a 'reasonable' assumption has been made - the so-called great deeds of the sealing demons are not so worth mentioning, because they are only exaggerated trifle.
Indeed, when dealing with that demon, Edward only played a gorgeous soy sauce most of the time, but that doesn't mean that to this day, he is still just a powerless passerby.
What should come will always come, and if you don't give some decent response, you will only be seen as weak and deceitful, which will bring more trouble - since you are already an opponent, then there is no need to talk about etiquette...... Anyway, he is not destined to enter the opponent's field, so make a big fuss and let the opponent see his strength, or better.
......
The reprimanded Damian lowered his head and smiled silently - for this farce, the silence of His Majesty the Emperor was undoubtedly a signal.
Obviously, His Majesty is not without the slightest doubt about that guy's 'merits'.
Ordinary people may not know about it, but the nobles have at least read some books, or even heard some poetry, and many people know the meaning of what the Baro Flame Demon represents—it's not powerful...... It's very, very, very powerful.
They can tear down meteors from the sky, a small city can be turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and those who appear in front of them will be transformed into their captives if they are a little weak-willed, and they will be controlled by him, and in myths or epic stories, the descriptions of such strange demons are all based on the destruction of dozens of cities.
Wanting to kill, even just banishing such a troll, is it possible for a small mage apprentice to do it?
The smile twisted for a moment as it turned to the black-robed young man—from hatred, mockery, and bitter contempt. Even though it was the first time he had seen this man, it didn't stop the anger in his heart from burning.
Yes, this person's existence seems to be a kind of ridicule of him. Even the other party's short stature, inconspicuous and even somewhat rustic appearance, and the magic robe that pretended to be mysterious, were all a kind of ridicule of him.
Even the slightest humiliation must be washed away with life and blood, especially when this humiliation is expressed by my father. Therefore, for today's inevitable meeting, Damian has thought of a lot of tricks - he is not willing to simply knock his opponent into the dust, but to return this humiliation to his opponent with interest, and it is best to make him never turn over! Not only to die, but also to ......
Seizing this opportunity, it is possible to control the other party to death - this is also the result of a lot of hard work, through the two dead friends, he created an impression to the emperor's majesty, that is, the person in front of him is the main person who seals the demon, and this guy, but it is obviously impossible to play a decisive role in the process of killing a demon, so in front of the emperor, if he can't prove himself, he is deceiving the emperor and stealing his name!
If he can prove himself...... Hmph, it's not that easy to prove himself these days, even if he really has that ability? The test that is about to take place here is not the kind of thing that can make the other party find loopholes.
"Oh, so you're Dami Sebastian, Your Excellency Fernandez Jasper?
The voice from the other party immediately interrupted the young nobleman's train of thought, he raised his head in amazement, and noticed the mocking angle at the corner of the other party's mouth: "I have long heard that Your Excellency is very brave and brave, and is known as the knight of the Eastern City, but it is limited to his identity and has not been revealed, my little strength is really not worth mentioning, but if you have this Yaxing, if you want to confirm my strength, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." How about you and I have a duel?
"I didn't...... I'm not...... I...... Of course I accept it!"
The young nobleman's voice suddenly raised a few points - of course he could hear that every title of the other party was a mockery of his ** naked, "Knight of the East City"? That was mocking his failure in the Dark Guild, as for Wu Yong...... It's even more of a naked counter-talk!
Then Damien realized the meaning of the last few words of the sentence.
Duel?
This statement made the air freeze again. A duel between a mage capable of slaying demons and a nobleman...... If it comes true, it's not a duel at all, it's a murder!
But Dami was excited.
In this situation where everyone is watching, especially the emperor is also concerned, it is naturally impossible to refuse the war, but this development seems to be in his hands! This is an opportunity given by the gods, this damn hillbilly, he doesn't even know that nobles have the qualifications to let knights fight on their behalf?
But just as he was about to say something with joy, the mage apprentice shook his head again.
"Hmm...... No, no,"
I'm a mage and you're a knight, and that's unfair. He turned his head and smiled brightly at everyone: "In this way, Viscount Jasbeth, you can make up for it with the advantage of numbers, and I will see, well, you bring four or five of your subordinates, and I will meet it alone, how do you think about making up for it? ”
It's a trap!
"Your Majesty, this kind of move is really ridiculous, duels are always fair one-on-one, how can you deliberately change the number of people? Even if you win, you will not be able to win!" the middle-aged nobleman spoke first, he was already keenly aware of the other party's plan like a huge concession, but there was a premise here, the other party proposed to let Damian take his men into battle.
It was a duel with a spellcaster, who could guarantee that there would be any problems? He knew his son too well, where did he come from, what martial arts were very famous? But he was just a noble son with a high and powerful father and a little royal blood, although he could also dance a few times as a nobleman, but his combat ability was more than eight streets worse than that of ordinary knights, if he came to a gladiatorial fight...... Even if there are four subordinates to maintain it, it is difficult to guarantee that the opponent will not suddenly use the killer! As long as the opponent uses a magic scroll, his own son will be blasted into pulp!
But his mention is a little lacking in weight at the moment.
"How can a nobleman make such a refusal to fight, and if you are afraid of any danger to your son, then compromise and turn a duel into a joust, and the magicians are not allowed to use props, and the knights are not allowed to use real swords. Before he could finish his words, the king waved his hand.
Under the shadow of the hood of the black robe, Edward's smile was a little irrepressible,
He had already captured this detail just now - this emperor, who likes to show off his strength the most, since in order to be in the limelight, can change the traditional ritual process and personally participate to show off, it is naturally impossible to refuse the temptation to watch a good show.
So, having said that, this duel is naturally imperative.
The crowd cheered.
When the ceremonial officer announced that there was going to be a contest between a magician and a knight, the cheers and commotion at that moment was nothing short of a riot.
Generally speaking, the so-called horse jousting tournament after the canonization ceremony was originally a kind of training for young knights, but two teams of knights galloped on horseback, wielding spears and swords to fight each other... The blades were all made of wood, and the wooden spears, and the swords of wood, the axes of wood, and the arrows of arrows were to be removed.
Although this kind of knightly competition is not very golden, but in this world that lacks means of entertainment, it is enough to attract attention, and a good knight wins a victory, but there is a high chance of obtaining a large number of gold and silver jewels thrown by noble ladies.
As for the duel between a mage and several knights?
Well, even the aristocracy, as long as it is not those real power giants, I am afraid it is impossible to see such a scene several times in their lives. The mage has always scoffed at the mere force of force, and naturally it is impossible to propose a duel with the knights.
Soon, the two sides of the duel were already standing in the arena.
As they were to perform here, the remaining four knights were soon ready to go, and with the trumpets blaring, they had each turned their horses' heads and began to gallop.
As an opponent, no one dares to be careless, but they are not without a chance - this is a closed place, and the other party does not seem to be a powerful mage, so as long as they disperse the charge, the other party will never knock everyone down at once, and with the impact of horses, even a spear in the hands of ordinary people is enough to penetrate an inch thick of soft steel......
The sound of hooves rumbled, although the abilities of these noble knights were not as good as Er'er, but the charge of the four knights from all directions actually produced an incomparable sharpness!
And the man in the black robe just took a deep breath.
In the huge venue, there was a sudden silence.
It's like all the sounds are being drained and devoured by invisible monsters...... Then, the monster erupted into a huge roar!
