This is a naked provocation!
Ke Lin squinted his eyes at the knight's sword that Lord Feiyin had brought out, and his heart was filled with rage.
Lord Feiyin ignored Colin's anger, and even continued to prod:
"Count Angelet, you should know this sword, right? It was left behind in Bailu City after Marquis Garcia was captured last time."
The Logue knight sitting on the lower head of Colin suddenly stood up, and was about to rush towards Lord Feiyin with red eyes, but Colin stretched out his hand to stop him.
Of course, he also wanted to kill this arrogant Viscount of the Eastern Realm, but it would be too barbaric to do so on such an occasion.
Moreover, he wanted to know what the East Realm's move was really about.
So Colin nodded to Aisha.
Queen Aisha understood, smiled slightly, and said: "Since the East Realm is so generous and willing to provide extra rewards for the winners of this tournament, then I will be disrespectful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lord Fei Yin bowed and saluted, before Shi Shiran sat down.
The martial arts tournament continued, but the atmosphere quietly became a little subtle.
However, the mentality of the contestants has not changed much. Defeating their opponents and winning the queen's favor are still their highest goals.
As for the rather sensitive "reward" offered by the East Realm, the contestants all felt that as long as they won it back and dedicated it to Earl Angelet, that would be fine.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to say that a northern marquis needs the help of half elves to win back his saber, it is after all a moth created by the east, and Earl Angelet would not be angry with the half elves.
There are also some half-elf nobles who feel that things cannot be so simple. Since the Eastern Realm has already taken out the sword of Marquis Garcia to provoke it face-to-face, it is impossible to let this sword return to the Northern Realm so easily.
But no matter how everyone guessed, the martial arts tournament continued.
…
At dusk, the martial arts tournament gradually came to an end.
The two contestants who entered the finals were riding tall horses around the audience. While adapting the horses to the venue, they also showed their demeanor to the audience and won the cheers of their supporters.
One of the heroic young knights was especially popular with the audience.
He was about twenty-five years old, wearing fine iron chain mail shining with silver light, with a confident smile on his handsome face, against the background of the setting sun, his lazy curly hair seemed to melt gold.
He rode a snow-white steed with a fine gold kite shield hanging on the left side of the horse's back, engraved with the coat of arms of thorns on it-it was the emblem of the half-elven royal family Miller family.
This young half-elf knight named Carl Miller is Queen Aisha's cousin according to his seniority.
The identity of the royal family and his handsome appearance immediately made the Cavalier Karl the focus of the field. Whenever he held up the eagle-wing helmet to greet the audience, he always aroused bursts of praise.
Some enthusiastic and bold half-elf girls will even throw the flowers in their hands to Knight Karl to express their love.
The previous Duke of Miller had been killed by Colin himself because of plotting to poison Queen Aisha, but the position of Duke of the Miller family had been vacated, and no successor had been announced.
Although the order of succession has long been very clear, Queen Aisha has been silent for a long time, obviously because she does not recognize the current order of succession.
This also made the hearts of the Miller family fluctuate, and all the family members began to gear up, eager to try, ready to show their skills in this martial arts competition, and let themselves enter the sight of Queen Aisha. If they can be favored by the queen, maybe Will be the heir to the duke.
But Colin knows that the reason why Aisha has not announced the successor of Duke Miller is actually planning to cancel the dukedom of the Miller family.
In her opinion, since the Miller family has become a half-elven royal family, there is no need to retain a duke title, and after experiencing the betrayal of her mother and brother before, Queen Aisha also began to feel that retaining the duke title would only cause Mi The split of the Le family has caused some people to think that they shouldn't have.
Of course, these ideas have not been made public.
Therefore, at this time, Carl Miller can continue to dream and enjoy the cheers of everyone.
Compared with the proud Carl Knight, another knight who made it to the finals did not have such treatment.
It was a mature knight in his early forties, with short gray hair standing upright, his bronze face was weather-stained, his tight lips and light brown eyes outlined a resolute expression, just like his The copper armor on the body.
The armor was old and polished, and there was no noble coat of arms on it. Obviously, this was a down-and-out wandering knight.
His mount is a common bay red horse, strong and powerful but unremarkable, without fancy pacing, just walking slowly with its master on its back.
Compared with the glamorous Carl Miller, this wandering knight is too shabby.
Moreover, when he signed up for the tournament, he filled in his name as Joseph.
Yes, only first name, no last name.
But he is also a knight, which means that this person is probably the illegitimate child of some family, and he has not been recognized by the family, so he dare not wear the family name.
After circling the field, the two knights came to the viewing platform at the same time, dismounted, raised their wooden lances, and bowed to Queen Aisha.
Queen Aisha got up and said loudly: "This is a fair game, I hope you will uphold the benevolent virtues of knights, and not aim at hurting your opponent, and win a glorious victory.
The Supreme Lord of Radiance is with you! "
Jousting is indeed a very dangerous sport, and casualties are almost inevitable.
Even if the contestants are required to use hardwood lances as weapons, even this "polite" weapon can be deadly in the hands of a knight.
Therefore, the game also stipulates that knights can only engage in horseback riding and stabbing.
In this kind of one-on-one duel, the two sides stab the opponent off the horse with a lance on the galloping horse, and the outcome is determined by one blow, which can avoid excessive fighting and reduce the probability of casualties.
But even so, it still cannot completely eliminate casualties.
This martial arts tournament went to the final finals, seven unlucky ghosts lost their lives, more than 20 people were disabled, and there were countless injuries.
It can be said that the contest field in front of the viewing platform is already covered with the blood of the contestants.
But such casualties could not stop one half-elf after another from participating enthusiastically.
If a knight doesn't even have the courage to face death, how can he win the queen's favor and even a knighthood
woo—
Amid the melodious sound of the trombone, the two knights participating in the final came to the sidelines, ready to sprint.
The audience at the scene also waved their arms excitedly and kept shouting, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.
