Chapter 130

Ed's subsequent investigation found that his adoptive father, who died suddenly, had been studying a book "The Genealogy and History of the Major Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms" (with many descriptions of the Duchess and their children) before his death and had been secretly He met Robert's eldest brother, Stannis Baratheon, and also planned to send his son to Stannis' fief Dragonstone to be adopted by Stannis. As far as Eddard knew, Jon and Stannis had never had a deep friendship in the past, and these seemingly abnormal behaviors aroused his curiosity.

In addition, Jon and Stannis have also investigated the king's illegitimate son, even so, he still can't figure out why Jon wants to see the king's illegitimate son will cause his death.

It was under such a circumstance that the tournament was held. For this reason, the treasury had to borrow a large amount of gold dragon coins from the Free Trade Bank - this new big bank is currently the most capable of lending to the king, and it is also the interest demanded the smallest side. As a result, knights from all over the country came to King's Landing one after another, and the whole city fell into unprecedented congestion and chaos.

Ye Ting arrived at King's Landing at such an opportunity.

Chapter 0182 Martial Arts Competition

On the third day of Prime Minister Ed's inauguration, the grand contest that King Robert was talking about was finally about to start in the limelight.

The banners of the royal family of Baratheon and the houses of the Seven Kingdoms blaring in the wind, the Stormlands and the royal family, the crowned stag of the house of Baratheon, the Northland, the wolves of the Stark family , Westward, the Roaring Lion of House Lannister, the Riverlands, House Tully's Fishing Trout, The Valley, House Arryn's Moonfalcon, the Reach, House Tyrell's Golden Rose, the Iron Islands, The four-clawed sea monsters of the Greyjoy family, Dorne, and the thorns of the Martell family are blooming, and are inlaid on the edge of the tent and various combat gear, and even rose foxes, green apples, rainbow trout, etc. The banners of small and medium-sized Fenghou also appeared around the main house.

The shields of the knights hang from the gates of the tents, and a long line of silk pennants flutters in the wind. Steel swords and gilded spurs shone brightly. There are strong knights everywhere, training with the help of apprentice knights. The attendants were busy oiling and waxing the armor and armor, grinding and maintaining the spears and weapons, and the grooms were leading the horses to the river to clean and adjust the saddles.

The night before the tournament is about to start. The horns of the knights sounded, the hooves of the horses rumbled, and the last group of knights arrived in the starry night, busy setting up camp.

After nightfall, the banquet by the river was open, and the string songs did not stop. The dignitaries and dignitaries from the entire King's Landing City attended one after another, drinking and reminiscing with the lords from all over the Seven Kingdoms who led the knights from afar, and the knights held a grand banquet by the river. The beautiful prostitutes were busy courting the knights and trying to make a splendid and lucrative business. The ladies and ladies also found an excuse to take the treasure car and slowly passed by the knight camp. The beautiful and beautiful pupils behind the incense fan stared at the young talents under the banner of the lord with interest, and guessed with a smile. Debating who is the strongest knight in the Seven Kingdoms.

There is no doubt that this will be the greatest knighthood competition in the fifteen years since King Robert took the throne. The bounty of up to 90,000 gold dragon coins attracted the strongest warriors from the whole continent and even the world to King's Landing. If it weren't for the fact that King's Landing City is both a major traffic road and a water transport Palembang, it would not be easy to gather the powerhouses of the whole continent here in three days.

The next day, outside the city walls, on the banks of the river, thousands of civilians came to watch. The grandeur of the Tournament is breath-taking: the shining armor, the tall horses clad in gold and silver, the loud shouts of the crowd, the clear flags fluttering in the wind.

The first day was a battle of the horses and spears until dusk. The roar of the hooves of the warhorses trampled the field of the arena into a ruined wasteland.

The Royal Guard, "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister has a great record as he rides out Ser Anda Royce and Lord Bryce Cullen of the Frontier, and then with his older colleagues Barristan Selmy fought fiercely, and Sir Barristan defeated opponents thirty or forty years younger than him in the first two rounds.

Sandor Clegane and his giant brother Ser Gregor "The Magic Mountain" were equally unstoppable, and they beat one opponent after another with savagery. The most terrifying thing of the day happened when Ser Gregor made his second appearance. He saw his spear upturned and hit a young knight from Arryn Valley under the throat guard. Immediately killed.

Next, Ser Balon Swan was also dismounted by Gregor, and Lord Renly Baratheon lost to the Hound. He was hit so hard that he almost flew back from the horse. When his head fell to the ground, he banged violently, and the audience gasped. Fortunately, it was only the golden antlers on his helmet that suffered, and one of them was crushed by him. When the Duke of Renly rose to his feet, the crowd cheered wildly for him, because King Robert's youngest brother had always been popular with the crowd. He bowed gracefully and handed the broken antler to the victor. The Hound snorted and threw the broken horn into the auditorium, and the people immediately fought to the death for that little gold, until finally Lord Renly walked into the crowd to appease, and order was restored.

In the end, there were only four people left in the arena: "The Hound." With his monster brother Gregor, the Kingslayer Jaime Lannister, and a masked knight in silver and blue armor.

No one knows this masked knight, but in this whole day of battle, his athletic dexterity and strength that is completely inconsistent with his body make everyone dare not underestimate him. He made three in three that morning. out, and defeated the three Kingsguard.

Such a powerful means immediately attracted everyone's attention, and from the voice he made, it could be heard that the knight was a fairly young man, and some even thought he might be underage...

This is a bit exaggerated, the noble girls present began to

The masked knight was imagining, just because of the sound, he captured the hearts of a group of girls, and they began to imagine what kind of handsome face was under that pale silver helmet like a lion and a dragon.

Among them, Sansa Stark, the daughter of Eddard Stark, is the most.

Sansa is a traditional beauty, having inherited the Tully family's delicate cheekbones, clear blue eyes, and thick burgundy hair from her mother, and she is slender, graceful, and very feminine.

When he saw that the masked knight once again took his opponent off his horse with a quick and precise thrust, without hurting him, she said excitedly to her friend, Jenny, the daughter of the Steward of Winterfell: " He was so graceful, wasn't he? He beat every one of his opponents so easily, but none of them were hurt, and he was so strong, so merciful, and a true knight."

She thought of the bloody scene that appeared on the field before. In addition to the Demon Mountain killing an opponent, there were several knights on the field who splattered blood on the field, and even more horses died.

She had always believed that knights should be a noble and dignified competition, and that only barbarians could turn such competitions into slaughterhouses.

She held her face in her hands and tilted her head to think for a while: "Jenny, what kind of face does he have under his helmet? He should be quite young and handsome, with some melancholy in his eyes, he should have a A very heavy past, that's why he always wears a masked helmet and refuses to show his true face."

"He may also be ugly, or have a long scar on his face," Jenny teased her, "otherwise why does he keep covering his face?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Jenny," Sansa reprimanded somewhat indignantly, "the Masked Rider can't be ugly, and his voice is so good, even Prince Joffrey is not as good as him, oh, he Must be more handsome than Joffrey."

Chapter 0183: One Enemy Three

At this point in the game, there are not many opponents who dare to face the Masked Knight.

In this scene, there are only three knights standing opposite the masked knight, one of them is the young Ser Loras Tyrell, who is known as the "Knight of Hundred Flowers".

Ser Loras is the youngest son of the Duke of Highgarden and the guardian of the South, Mace Tyrell. He is sixteen years old. If he is not a masked knight, he should be the youngest knight in the field. His armor is carefully carved. , whose enamel contains thousands of different flowers, and his snow-white mount is covered with a red carpet and white roses. Every time he won, Ser Loras took off his helmet, took a white rose from the red carpet, and tossed it to some beautiful girl in the crowd.

In this competition, the Knight of Hundred Flowers is also a very popular player, not only because of his skills, but also because of his appearance. It's a pity that he ran into the masked knight before he could fight to the end.

No one thought he would be a match for the Masked Rider, in fact, the Masked Rider's light-heavy marksmanship was no match for the entire arena.

Facing such a great enemy, the Hundred Flowers Knight and the other two looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding, and at the same time aimed the lance at the masked knight.

"How could he do this, Ser Loras is so disappointing to me." Sansa said angrily to Jenny beside her, unaware that she was also a little fan of the "Hundred Flowers Knight" before, "This is how you treat the Masked Knight like this. It's so unfair."

Before she knew it, she had completely sided with the masked knight, and his victory and safety clung to her heart.

However, the masked knight didn't care, he just raised his lance gracefully and greeted the audience, which immediately caused the audience to cheer like a tsunami, and many ladies and girls screamed.

He grabbed the silver warhorse of the divine steed, and the warhorse started slowly in tacit understanding, but soon it ran completely. It only took a few breaths to increase the speed to the extreme, and sprinted away at the knight of flowers on the other side. .

The other two knights also knew the reason why their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, and they came from both sides with their horses.

However, the masked knight didn't seem to care about such a pinch attack. At the moment when he crossed with the horse head of the Hundred Flowers Knight, he held the lance in one hand with his right hand, and took a precise shot at the opponent's lance, easily He picked up the tip of the Hundred Flowers Knight's spear and let it hit the tip of the second knight's spear. With this buffer, he easily twisted his body on the horse and dodged the second knight's attack.

And his empty left hand was not idle either. The third knight's spear piercing like lightning was easily grabbed by the head with one hand, as if he was reaching out to pluck a rose. The knight tried desperately with both hands, but was unable to retrieve the spear from the masked knight.

The audience immediately boiled, and the masked knight's terrifying strength and sharp skills once again shocked them.

Next, before the Hundred Flowers Knight and the second knight attacked again, the masked knight suddenly pulled the third knight off his horse with a sudden force, and even let go of the lance.

Then, the masked knight held the tip of the spear with his left hand, and smashed the handle of the lance he had stolen in the direction of the Hundred Flowers Knight. The two knights had no chance to dodge and could only parry with their guns.

However, who would have thought that the masked knight actually opened his bow from left to right, and the lance in his right hand quickly stabbed the second knight. There was a gap in his shoulder armor, and as the masked knight pushed upwards, the second knight was also picked off his horse.

Now, in front of him only the Knight of Hundred Flowers.

Ser Loras swallowed, realizing that he had no

He might have won the fight, but his strong self-esteem kept him from surrendering.

The second charge between the two began.

This time, the Hundred Flowers Knight didn't have two helpers to help him. He couldn't stand in front of the masked knight. The masked knight easily dodged his attack and stabbed his shield with a lance. Smashed, and he himself fell off his horse's back under the powerful impact.

This scene just happened in front of Sansa's seat.

The sassy Hundred Flowers Knight was in disgrace, and the white rose he prepared also fell from his arms to the ground.

However, what is puzzling is that this time the masked knight did not leave the stage. He picked up the white rose on the ground as soon as he picked it up.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, when his silver horse stopped in front of Sansa, at this time, she only felt that her heart was about to explode.

"My dear lady," he said, "no great victory is half as beautiful as yours. I didn't prepare a present, so I had to take a temporary charge, and don't take it as a disrespect."

Sansa took the flower shyly, stunned by his heroic appearance. Through the gap in the armor, she saw that his black eyes were as deep as obsidian, but gleamed like mercury.

She inhaled the sweet scent of roses, holding on until the masked knight rode away.

In another corner of the auditorium, Arya, dressed as a swordsman with a rapier "Sewing Needle" on her waist, looked in Sansa's direction, a little indignant.

"Why would someone like 'Masked Knight' give flowers to such a squeamish bag," she complained to the bald man beside her. "This 'Masked Knight' turns out to be a vain guy too."

The bald man is his swordsmanship teacher, Syrio Forrell. He is a swordsman master and the former chief swordsman of Braavos. However, at this moment, he has been staring at the back of the masked knight. with admiration.
