Chapter 239 Euron's News

"Mystery Knight Batman, are you here?"

Dany immediately stepped forward, deliberately making her voice low and hoarse: "Batman is here!"

"You have advanced."

"what?"

"Congratulations on knocking out Jimmy the Shit Shell, you've advanced! You don't have a match this morning, so report to the 44th arena in the afternoon, don't be late," said the master of ceremonies.

Danni was numb, and was stunned for a while before riding away under the constant urging of the master of ceremonies.

"Let's go." The old knight ushered in and said.

"I want to see it again."

"Pay attention to the nearby contestants," the old knight pointed at those armored knights who were ready to go. "Many people's armors are either worn out and rusted, or they are assembled from second-hand parts. Knights who can't even afford iron armor have a level of skill and tactics. You can imagine it. If you really want to watch the game, it’s better to go back to the main venue.”

Dany looked around, sighed, and silently followed the old knight to leave the arena.

What he said was right, peerless swordsmen like A Fei and Fu Hongxue did not exist in this world.

With a broken iron ruler, no martial arts secrets, and only two simple moves of straight thrust and sword drawing, one can become a top master in the world - this is a common story in martial arts novels.

But in this world of physical fitness, strength, skills, equestrianism, war horses, and armor, similar stories will never happen.

Great knights can only be born in wealthy families who have no worries about food and clothing, and who have been taught by martial arts masters since childhood.

The horse was walking steadily on the loess road. From time to time, the clash of guns and shields and the cheers and wailing of knights could be heard from the nearby arena. While watching the game, Dany asked the knight next to her in a muffled voice: "There have been legendary knights among the poor." ?"

The white knight thought for a while and said, "In the last hundred years, there have been half of them."

Dani turned around and asked in surprise, "Half?"

"Do you know the name of Prince Dragonfly?"

"Duncan Targaryen."

"Well, the prince is also called 'short' Duncan, but he is not short, he is a heroic and good man with a height of 1.8 meters."

"So, there must have been a very legendary 'tall' Duncan, a great knight who was born as a commoner?" Dany thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, my lord, you are really smart." The white knight gave Dany an appreciative glance, and continued: "Sir Duncan is the Kingsguard of the previous generation, with a height of more than two meters.

When he was a teenager, Aegon V was also known as 'Ego' and served as a servant for the hedge knight Duncan for a while! "

Aegon V is Daenerys' great-grandfather, and Prince Duncan, the first-generation ex-marriage man, is his eldest son.

To name the crown prince after a white knight who was a hired mercenary, how much Aegon V should adore his iron guard!

"However, although Sir Duncan came from the slums of King's Landing, he was adopted by Sir Alan since he was five years old. He received a good knight education, so he is not a real commoner."

Different from the arena of the hedge knights, the main venue was full of banners and people's voices. The contestants were dressed in bright and clean armor, like the heroes described in thousands of songs, each one was more heroic than the other.

The hooves of the war horses roared, trampling the land of the competition field into a dilapidated muddy ground.

The wooden stage was full of spectators, wearing gorgeous gowns, cheering reservedly and enthusiastically for every winner, and sighing for every knight who fell from his horse.

Especially those aristocratic girls and young women sitting in the front row, whenever a knight waved to the audience on both sides, they blushed, covered their mouths with perfumed folding fans, and screamed like crazy .

It seems that all knights are imagined as their guardian knights.

They might also think: Anyway, there are so many people yelling, so others can't be sure that she yelled, and they can't see their hippopotamus-like gaping mouths.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" When Dani came over, she just heard the sound of the horn. When the audience quieted down from the discussion about the previous fight, the horn ended and the master of ceremonies shouted: "Miss Lelia's guardian knight, bright Garlan Tyrell, Lord of Watertown."

The earl rode a black steed straight into the arena. He was wearing an extremely gorgeous silver armor. The armor was polished to a dazzling silver. A pair of green vines and two clusters of golden roses were inlaid on his chest.

Dani and other viewers were shocked to find that the bowl-sized golden flower was made up of countless golden hair crystals.

"Hiss!" Thousands of throats gasped at the same time.

"Mysterious knight from Bright Water City, the old gardener." The master of ceremonies continued to announce.

The smoke-gray battle armor is covered with a lapis lazuli-colored cloak, and that cloak and his fox-shaped helmet are the only decorations on his body.

But as soon as this mysterious knight came out, the jubilant atmosphere around suddenly became stagnant, as if an embarrassing person everyone knew came into a lively banquet, and even the little noble girls stopped cheering.

"Who is this person? Everyone seems to know him." Dani asked doubtfully.

"Cyan cloak, fox helmet, from Brightwater City, and he calls himself 'the gardener's son', he must be a Florent. According to the information we inquired before, it is likely to be Sir Alekon who came to Hightower for help." The old knight For sure.

While the two were talking, two knights in the arena charged over.

"boom!"

The long wooden spear of the mysterious knight hit Earl Garland's wooden shield fiercely. The spear shattered and shattered. At that moment, time seemed to slow down extremely. Dany clearly saw that the outer iron skin of the shield was dented, and then the white The wood slag scattered like bullets, causing a muffled sound on the armor of the two men.

"Wow—" Thousands of mouths inhaled in unison.

"Good!" The old knight commented loudly: "Stable, accurate, ruthless, and skillful, the spear shattered the rider but did not suffer any injuries.

Earl Garland was also very stable in blocking such a powerful blow, and the horse's running movement did not deform. It can be seen that all the force was released and did not affect the mount. "

While the fox's helmet was being exchanged for the spear, the old knight said again: "During the War of the Four Kings, Florent originally followed Tyrell to join Renly.

After Renly's death, Tyrell withdrew, but Lord Alister Florent turned to Stannis because of his brother and niece. "

Stannis' wife is from House Florent.

"Later Tyrell formed an alliance with Lannister, Stannis failed, and Florent of Brightwater City was embarrassed.

Lord Tywin deprived the Florent family of all fiefdoms and noble titles, and transferred Brightwater City to Ser Garlan Tyrell as a reward for his heroic performance in the Battle of the Blackwater River.

In order to win back Brightwater City, Earl Alister planned to make peace with King's Landing on behalf of Dragonstone Island, but Stannis directly sacrificed him to the Lord of Light.

Ser Alekan, son of Alister and heir of Brightwater, fled to Oldtown to seek shelter from the Hightower family.Unexpectedly, he also came to participate in the martial arts tournament, and even met Earl Garland in a dramatic way. "

"What has Ser Arleken to do with the old man of Oldtown?" Dany asked.

"Aleken's own sister is the wife of Earl Layton."

"This..." Dany was a little confused, "Galantyrell's mother is the daughter of Lord Layton, right? This, the nest?"

"No, Earl Layton has already lost three wives, and now Mrs. Florent is the fourth. The children of the four wives are different. Linice and Humphrey have the same father and mother, but Humphrey It's the same father as Smiling Baylor."

"It's so complicated. If I were an old man from Old Town, I would definitely be hiding in the towering tower." Dani said with a twitching corner of her mouth.

While chatting, the two watched the mysterious knight confront Earl Garland. In the second, third, and fourth rounds, both of them blocked the spear from the opponent, but the wooden spear did not shatter.

"Based on the current score, Earl Garland might lose," said the old knight.

"uncertain."

Sir Garth, the organizer of this tourney, stipulated that there should be five rounds of jousting.

It doesn't happen every time that the opponent is directly knocked off the horse. In this case, the winner must be judged by the score after five rounds.

The location where the spear hits, the fluency of the movement, the ability to control the horse—whether the horse slows down or sprains when the collision occurs, and whether the spear is used in a regular manner are all points for scoring.

In the previous four rounds, the mysterious knight attacked ferociously, Earl Garland was rubbed in the lower abdomen, and lost a lot of points.

In the next fifth round, Dani, like thousands of spectators, held her breath and stared at the two knights who were slowly accelerating in the arena.

The sound of horseshoes rumbled in the sun, the knight leaned forward, with the shield in his left hand in front of his chest, the spear in his right hand stretched out, the horse galloped to the highest speed, but the heads of the two spears remained stable

No, the moment before the collision, I don’t know if it was the impact of the sun, the mysterious knight was dazzled, his right hand shook, and the tip of the spear was slightly upturned

"Boom—crash—"

Garland's spear hit the mysterious knight's chest, only knocking him on his horse's back, but almost at the same time, the "Old Gardener"'s spear passed Garland's shield and stabbed towards his front.

Thanks to Earl Garland's quick reaction, he jerked his neck up. The wooden spear rubbed against the throat armor with a tooth-piercing sound, and finally hit the lower edge of the helmet, knocking the shiny silver iron helmet into the air. There was a blood mark.

The flow of blood gurgles.

"Ah!" the audience exclaimed, and the girls covered their mouths, almost crying.

The horn blared, and Galth Hightower rushed into the arena, calling for the maester to come and treat the two riders.

In fact, the injuries of the two were not serious. Garland's face was scratched, and the blood on his face looked scary, but it was only a flesh injury.And that mysterious knight had thick armor, so he was stabbed by a blunt wooden spear.

After tossing for seven or eight minutes, after the two knights left the field, the emcee stood up and shouted: "The mysterious knight fouled, and Earl Garlan Tyrell wins."

"That guy did it on purpose. He wanted to kill Garland," Barristan said gravely.

"Yeah." Dany nodded in approval.

It is considered a foul to attack the opponent above the neck in a pike competition—except for the shattered wreckage of the wooden spear accidentally hitting the head. The "old gardener" was familiar with the movements in the first few rounds and experienced, and he did not seem to make such a low-level mistake at all. people.

The old knight said solemnly: "Brightshui City is still under the control of the Florens family, and Garland led half of the Tyrell family's army back to Highgarden to take Brightshui City.

It's just that there was an accident in the middle, and the Ironmen actually occupied the Shield Islands and broke into the Mande River, threatening the foundation of the Tyrell family - Highgarden.

The Seven Kingdoms have already destroyed the Northern Territory, the Riverlands, the Western Territory, and the Royal Lands, and Storm's End is still under siege on the other side of the Stormlands, and the Reach is also undercurrents, this"

"What the hell happened to Westeros?" the old man sighed mournfully.

"Report, report—" A fast horse suddenly galloped up the Rose Avenue, the rider waved a roll of parchment, and shouted loudly: "The latest news, the latest news from the Academy City, Baron is dead, Baron fell four days ago The bridge is dead, the Ironborn King is dead, and Oldtown is safe!"

"Really?" Everyone in the arena was in an uproar. They didn't even watch the tournament, and ran towards the riders one after another.

"The latest news received by the Academy City, King Balon fell from the bridge and died, his brother Euron intends to take the Seastone seat, Ironborn Island is in turmoil, and the crisis in Old Town has been resolved." The rider squeezed through the crowd and came to Below the rostrum, loudly report to Baylor and other nobles.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Huanxiao Baylor laughed so hard that he opened his mouth, and he put aside all the dirty things between the two relatives before, and just kept applauding.

"What a fart, the river bend is in danger!" Dani's complexion changed drastically.
