Chapter 43: The Duel Begins (Please Collect and Recommend) The Cold Is Getting Worse...
The duel on the second day was held as scheduled. Almost everyone in the city was out for this duel. →No one wanted to miss the duel of Camelot's first knight. The characteristic of watching the excitement is not unique to the Chinese people. People all over the world cannot resist the charm of excitement and gossip.
Perhaps considering the attention of this duel, King Uther had to arrange countless soldiers and knights to maintain order at the scene in advance. This also made the people present feel an unprecedented pressure.
Kai stood in the center of the duel field wearing a set of ordinary knight armor, where the black knight had been waiting for a long time. The black knight had been standing in front of the main gate of the palace before the duel began. He stood there like a statue for a day and a night without eating, drinking or sleeping. I don't know if he was afraid that Kai, who accepted the challenge, would run away.
Duels between knights often have very strict ritual rules. For example, before the duel officially begins, the knight needs to not wear a helmet, but wear a gorgeous hood, hold high the family emblem flag, and give a speech in the center of the duel field.
Usually at this time, Kai is the more silent one, he is not used to this kind of stupid opening. So he always introduces himself and puts on his helmet waiting for the duel to begin.
But today, Kai is not as usual. He looks at the familiar black knight with a complicated expression. Kai is very familiar with his crown, armor and emblem shield. This is the equipment he wore when he dueled with King Uther for the last time.
At the beginning, Tristan was not dressed like this. At the beginning, he liked gorgeous clothes like all young knights. Coupled with his face that could make all women lose their minds, he once became the prince charming in the minds of all women.

But after that tragic love, Tristan felt that he was unworthy of his identity as a knight. He felt that he had lost his glory, so he discarded his gorgeous clothes and began to appear in front of people in black armor.
Looking at Tristan like this, if Kai didn't feel anything, it would be a lie.
Although Kai had a complete outlook on life before he came here, and he had no interest in chasing stars, after meeting Tristan, he had to admit that some people are born to be admired by others.
For example, Tristan, his sincerity, kindness, and courage made Kai, an old man who was already in his thirties before he came here, look up to him. Sometimes Kai often thought at that time, how great it would be if he could become someone like him.
But because of a love affair that was not accepted by the world, such a nearly perfect knight eventually fell into the abyss...
To be honest, Kai didn't really accept the love affair between Tristan and the Irish princess Isolde. Kai is a traditional person and naturally rejects this kind of love triangle. In his concept, this is originally immoral, not to mention that the woman is his uncle's woman, which is even more serious. Tristan has the appearance, strength, money, and status. What kind of woman can't he get? This relationship was a bit impulsive from the beginning.
But Kai had to admit that love is something that cannot be simply summarized by reason.
In short, Kai had mixed feelings about Tristan's death. But it was more of a kind of sadness. He was unfortunate enough during his lifetime, but he didn't expect that his soul would be desecrated after his death!
"Good day, Knight Tristan." Kai asked the attendant holding his helmet to step back first, and then bowed to the Black Knight and performed a knight's sword salute.
The Black Knight did not respond, and still looked at Kai like a statue. Kai didn't care. Strictly speaking, the current Tristan is not the real Tristan. His soul has been filled with sadness and hatred, and he can't be considered a normal soul at all.
"I didn't expect that the reunion after 20 years would be such a scene. It's really sad. The scenes more than 20 years ago seemed to have happened yesterday. I thought that your back would always be for me to look up to, but I didn't expect that one day, I could still stand in front of you and challenge you."
Although Kai was sad that Tristan's body and soul were desecrated, he was also lucky to have his long-cherished wish fulfilled. For Kai, Tristan is definitely an idol-level player. Fighting a knight duel with a powerful opponent is one of the dreams of almost all knights, because no matter whether they win or lose, it means honor. The glory of a knight cannot be represented by a simple victory or defeat.
Kai has received so many years of knight education, and he was originally a martial artist. Challenging the strong is basically an instinct in his bones.
Twenty years ago, when Tristan was at his peak, he was just a little kid and had no qualifications to fight against such a top knight, so he could only think about it, but now, this vision is presented in another way.
Kai's memories did not cause Tristan's reaction.
Seeing this scene, Kai was a little disappointed. Although it was indeed Tristan who was fighting against him, how could a puppet who only knew killing and hatred be compared with the high-spirited Tristan at the time?
Kai waved his hand and asked the attendant to hand over the helmet. Kai put on the helmet and asked the attendant to take off his cloak.
Patting the helmet, Kai walked towards the black knight with two swords in hand.
"I have one last request, Knight Tristan. If possible, I hope you can fight me as a real knight. Instead of insulting your honor in this horrible and hateful form. I believe you can hear it. After all, you were the best knight in the world. You will definitely be able to defeat that dirty magic trick!"
Although the Death Knight is a puppet, his soul still belongs to him. There is no doubt about this.
Kai, like many old-school Chinese, has a mysterious obsession with spiritual attributes. They all believe that those who have the will can achieve their goals. Thinking back to the early days of the founding of China, the country was so difficult, but relying on backward equipment and continuous efforts, it developed two bombs and one satellite. This is the best proof.
Therefore, Kai believes that with the will of Knight Tristan, he will be able to get rid of the control of evil magic.
Kai's words made the Black Knight raise his head slightly. Then he remained silent again. Kai didn't know whether his call could awaken Tristan's will.
However, it didn't matter. The duel began!
As the duel bell rang, the two knights immediately faced each other.
Kai was obviously very cautious. He did not launch an attack immediately, but kept looking for the flaws of the Black Knight and did not intend to attack at the beginning.
But the Black Knight was different. He did not mean to be cautious at all, but raised his sword and chopped down as soon as he came up.
The Black Knight used a two-handed knight sword. This weapon was actually used by knights for training more often, and the probability of appearing on the battlefield was not high. This weapon was too heavy. Unless you were gifted, you would not be able to swing it a few times on the battlefield. Moreover, the speed of attack was not really fast.
But one thing is certain, that is, this thing is really powerful. This sword is sharper than an axe.
Kai was very calm in the face of the oncoming sword. This level of attack did not make him flustered. He dodged the giant sword with a sideways move, and at the same time, his left hand also counterattacked while sideways.
