"Alfred is a warrior with noble character and extraordinary martial skills! Although I face him on the battlefield, I respect his character. Please return his armor and long sword to his family!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wu Ming is also a person who is about to become a knight, so naturally he can't take down the opponent's weapon like this.
On the contrary, he handed the Longxin Longjian to the servant who came up with a serious face, and solemnly instructed.
Of course, it is a dream to expect these servants to be dedicated to their duties, but as soon as they leave the battlefield, the deputy head of Wolf Heart, the black spider Tana who has been promoted to the right position, will be waiting.
It is natural for her to represent the heart of the wild wolf to accept Alfred's inheritance.
"My lord, your will will be enforced!"
The servant struggled to carry the long sword, but was sincerely moved by William the brave's noble character, and said involuntarily.
'Shrinking back the fist is to hit the enemy better... Giving up at this time is just to get more in the future...'
For some reason, Adrian looked at William the Warrior, but this sentence came to his mind.
Immediately, he put on the bright armor and embarked on his own journey.
No matter how handsome and powerful Alfred was before, a dead man is a dead man, and the Earl of Blue Mountain would not shed a single tear for him. Even the audience selectively forgot about him and began to cheer for the next duel.
Now Adrian will face his opponent at the place where Alfred died, and the winner among them will compete with William for the final championship and the knighthood.
…
"My opponent should be Adrian!"
Wu Ming watched Adrian defeat his opponent, and was about to rent a war horse casually, but a servant hurried over: "Mr. William... I brought a message from Mr. Adrian!"
"Um?"
After hearing the report, the expression on Wu Ming's face became even more strange.
"Everyone!"
On the arena, the referee was a little stunned when he heard a servant whisper a few words, and immediately announced loudly: "According to the request of Knight Adrian, he will fight William on foot in the final in the afternoon, without wearing armor. Fight for the honor of the champion! Let us cheer for his justice!"
William's horse had been chopped down, and he had no knight armor at all, which was obvious to all.
Under such a huge advantage, Adrian still pursued a fair duel, which really surprised everyone.
And his request with such chivalrous virtues would not be rejected by any lord.
"This man... the church..."
Wu Ming watched this scene quietly, but his eyes were shining with light.
If the opponent uses the horses and armor he is familiar with, he is not invincible, but giving up the advantage now is no different from admitting defeat.
If it was Adrian's own decision, he would never believe it.
…
At noon, in the lounge, after Adrian's routine prayers, he began to enjoy his own lunch.
"Adrien!"
At this moment, the door opened and the archbishop walked in gently.
He glanced at the blueberries and veal steaks on the table, and shook his head slightly.
"Sorry... my lord bishop!"
Adrian blushed.
"Advocating that black bread and water can last a day is the practice of an ascetic monk, even if you are a glorious knight of the church, you don't have to do this..."
"Don't dare!"
Adrian blushed and shook his head again and again: "Even though I announced my separation from the church, the glory of the Lord will always exist in my heart..."
The archbishop looked at Adrian with cloudy eyes: "Do you have dissatisfaction?"
Being stared at by him, even Adrian couldn't help but feel that he was seen through from the inside to the outside.
"Everything is for the glory of our Lord!"
He forced himself to be patient, and saluted the archbishop in front of him.
"Everything comes from my lord, everything is for my lord... The evil star is about to emerge, our time is running out..."
The Archbishop murmured.
"Then... Archbishop, that person, will he be the savior?"
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Adrian finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly.
"Savior?"
The archbishop turned his face with a surprised expression: "There has never been a savior in the world. The only ones who can really save the people are our Lord and themselves!"
"Then why did the Archbishop do this?"
Adrian was even more puzzled.
"Give up horse fighting and armor?"
The archbishop smiled: "This is to save your life! My child!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored the doubtful Adrian, turned and walked out of the room.
…
"The Spring Tournament, the championship match, will be played by William, a freeman from Nia Town, against the former Knight of Glory and now the Guardian of Fairness, Adrian!"
In the afternoon, all the nobles were absent, and even the ordinary spectator stage was full.
A large number of people flowed in, wanting to witness the birth of the champion, and of course, that amazing honor.
"The first one to appear is the freeman from Nia Town, the miraculous William! His martial arts are as powerful as the legendary sword god. He always easily defeats his opponents with superb sword skills, and because of his habit of not wearing armor, Commoners have the title of 'Popular Sword Master'!"
Amidst the hoarse shouts of the referee and the audience, Wu Ming walked into the square, still in civilian clothes.
"The one on my left is the Adrian knight who has been baptized by the church and put on a glorious casket, representing glory and protection! This lord is a noble and just man, who gave William a fair Chance to fight!"
"Let's cheer for these two!"
"William! William!"
"Adrien! Adrian!"
…
Among the many yells, the Earl of Blue Mountain stood up calmly and made a gesture to start the duel.
"Adrien!"
At this moment, Wu Ming pulled out his fine steel long sword, looked at Adrian on the opposite side, and said calmly, "Although I don't know that it wasn't your intention, but in return, you can survive!"
In truth, no matter whether this is an olive branch thrown by the church or not, Wu Ming has to follow it obediently before he can look down on all secular forces.
"Arrogance!"
Adrian roared, the muscles on his body bulged, and there seemed to be a faint flash of lightning.
"Sword Power - Thunder Slash!"
The next moment, he held the sword in both hands, as if appearing in front of Wu Ming in an instant.
This is a secret technique passed down from the era of church knights, the highest level of combat and killing techniques, after dozens of generations of continuous repairs, it has become extremely perfect.
Before, he relied on this trick, and it was difficult for any opponent to block his sword.
Even though William's strength is extraordinary, after a strike, his center of gravity will be unstable, and he must adjust backwards. At that time, the opportunity will come.
boom!
But to his surprise, William did not run away, but directly slashed out with a single sword, and the two swords almost formed a straight line.
When a huge force came, his hands shook, and he took a step back.
'Has William been baptized as a knight? '
Adrian thought in horror, the next moment, the attack like a storm had already roared.
Jingle!
The sound of gold and iron striking resounded, and the opponent's attack was like a violent storm, and it was watertight. Adrian retreated again and again, feeling even more horrified, but he couldn't find any way to fight back.
boom!
Suddenly, he loosened his right hand, and the long sword flew high, with a sharp touch against his throat.
"I lost… "
The corner of Adrian's mouth was bitter, and he spit out three words.
He looked at the calm William in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "So you haven't used your full strength in the previous games?"
"Of course not, but I have mastered some kind of secret method to stimulate qi and blood, so I can make an explosion!"
Wu Ming replied with a slightly heavy breath.
As a mortal, it is not a small burden for him to suppress a knight who has been baptized as a knight and has become an extraordinary knight, even if he uses the secret method.
"This is the limit of ordinary people... If a few more knights attack me, I will definitely be unlucky!"
Wu Ming sighed in his heart: "The knight baptism must be completed as soon as possible, or other abilities must be obtained!"
"William!"
"William!"
"William!"
Adrian walked out of the square in a daze, but the entire auditorium suddenly became noisy.
"The champion of this tournament is—William from Nia Town! Let us cheer for him!"
The referee announced loudly, and immediately a maid stepped forward, put a white robe on Wu Ming, put on a corolla made of thorns and vines, and surrounded him to the noble platform.
There, the Earl of Blue Mountain had already stood up, staring at him with admiration: "Congratulations, William!"
He raised his hand, and the atmosphere of the whole meeting place became quiet. I don't know how many pairs of envious and jealous eyes gathered on Wu Ming.
"Now, it's time to fulfill the championship reward and promise!"
The Earl of Blue Mountain drew out his long sword with a solemn expression: "William, a freeman from the town of Nia! Are you willing to serve me?"
Every knight needs a loyal lord. This is the law of this world, and no one can escape it.
'Finally better than Baron Terry...'
Wu Ming slandered in his heart, with a solemn look on his face, and respectfully saluted: "I am willing!"
"very good!"
The Earl of Blue Mountain put the long sword on Wu Ming's shoulder, and said in a solemn tone: "I am the successor of the original blue blood, the guardian of the people of the Blue Mountain, the Earl of Howling Castle, and the reincarnation of the blue tiger—Wood Von · In the name of Blue Mountain, I bestow upon you the honor of being a knight!"
"I swear, I will offer you my loyal sword!"
"I will be kind to the weak, bravely stand against cruelty, fight against all mistakes... and die for what I love!"
"I will keep my vows until I die!"
…
Wu Ming swears loudly according to the ancient etiquette.
When he stood up, his identity changed, he was no longer a freeman, but a Jazz! Sir William!
