Chapter 87: Hot (Please Collect and Recommend)
As the conference progressed, more and more knights returned in defeat. The lucky ones only had minor skin injuries and could recover after two days of rest. The unlucky ones even died. The competition among knights has always been so tragic.
But people have always lacked sympathy for these losers. They only chase the winners. Once the contestants lose, they will be forgotten immediately. No matter how optimistic they were before, once they lose, there will be more popular contestants to replace them.
It is also because of this tragedy that some rookies who originally had romantic ideas began to retreat. Before their debut, these rookies always thought that the world was like a legend. They thought they were the protagonists of the story. They could win the victory and be worshipped by everyone.
But reality is always cruel. When they really mounted their horses for the first time and faced those aggressive opponents, they realized that there are not so many protagonists in this world. So some people began to withdraw from the competition.
Among them, two knights from Sennod did not even participate in a game and directly withdrew from the competition, but this did not attract much attention except that the Camelot people gloated and cursed Sennod for being a coward.
Now all people's attention is attracted by the winner.
Among these winners, two people are the most outstanding and are sought after by everyone.
One of them is naturally the much-anticipated Arthur. As the crown prince of Camelot, Arthur's identity itself is destined to make him different. → In other countries, the crown prince rarely goes down to duel with other knights. This is not only a matter of identity, but also because as a crown prince, he must maintain his sense of superiority. If a crown prince of a country easily loses to others in the game, it will undermine the dignity of the crown prince.
Therefore, Arthur's registration made many knights excited. The reputation brought by defeating a crown prince is definitely not small. As long as they are not Camelot knights, they are very willing to use Prince Arthur to decorate their honor.
This also leads to the automatic MAX morale of the knights on the opposite side who fight against Arthur.
Arthur didn't feel it was unfair, on the contrary, he just felt excited. Since Kai came back from his world tour, he has been training him most of the time, and now is the time to verify the results of his training.
Arthur was particularly excited.
Another star who attracted much attention was a little unexpected, his name was Gawain.
This name was almost unknown before this Knights Conference, but as the conference progressed, this name became more and more famous. Like Arthur, he participated in all three events of the conference, but unlike Arthur, his participation in the three events was public. From the beginning, everyone knew that he participated in the three events.
For this point, it is not uncommon in this Knights Conference. What is really uncommon is that he is very likely to complete the triathlon after Kai! Among them, the knight melee is on the penultimate day of the conference, so it is difficult to evaluate.
But in the other two competitions, the lance competition and the knight duel, he has been making great progress all the way. His advantage in each game is quite obvious, and it can even be said that he is at ease. In addition, his uninhibited style is very popular with the audience, especially ladies.
On the tenth day of the conference, every time Gawain competed, the ladies of Camelot seemed particularly crazy, and they even squeezed out the men. When Gawain competed, looking around, the first few rows of the audience were all dressed up ladies screaming and cheering for Gawain.
This made Gawain the most jealous object of other knights after Arthur. For Arthur, other knights just wanted to use Arthur to become famous, but for Gawain, it was naked jealousy! Who made him have so many female fans?
Having female fans is a public enemy.
This is not to blame those knights, they are all violent people, and appearance is secondary. What they want is to be strong and fierce. How can you be deterrent if you are not strong and fierce? So generally speaking, the fans of knight competitions are mostly men, and most women are not interested in such bloody competitions.
In the past, everyone didn't have many female fans, and no one said anything about anyone, so naturally there was nothing to be jealous of. Even in the knight conference that Kai participated in, there were not so many women crazy about supporting Kai. It's not that Kai is not handsome, but Gawain is not only handsome, but also uninhibited. As the saying goes, men are not bad women, Kai always behaves calmly and seriously, and this kind of character is not liked by women.
But Gawain is different, he almost satisfies all women's fantasies about men.
He is handsome, tall and strong, humorous, uninhibited, and even his biggest shortcoming - poverty, is no longer a problem because of his fame in the Knights' Conference. As his fame grows, it can be imagined that his future is no longer a problem, and there are many noble lords willing to pay a high price to make Gawain their vassal.
Gawain has now become the benchmark of a perfect partner, and now Camelot has even given Gawain a nickname, Prince Charming.
On the one hand, this is because Gawain's warhorse is white, and on the other hand, it is also praising Gawain for being a handsome, rich, and capable man that women meet in their dreams.
So Gawain became the public enemy of other knights.
To put it bluntly, he was the only one who was pretending to be so arrogant, so how could others get by? This kind of person must be killed!
What no one expected was that Arthur was also included in this.
Arthur didn't care about other women, he wasn't that superficial. But when the girl got involved, things became different.
Although the girl wasn't as crazy as other women, she still watched every game of Gawain's. And Gawain also gave her face very much. After every victory, he would send her flowers to express his love.
This made the girl called a bitch by many women. If it weren't for Morgana protecting her, she would have been torn apart by those women who were confused as a mistress.
In short, this scene deeply stimulated Arthur. Except for telling Merlin about his distress, he didn't dare to let anyone know his little tricks. Even Morgana, who always liked to go along with him, couldn't know.
Although Morgana and the girl were as good as one person, once Morgana knew that there was a relationship between the girl and Arthur, believe it or not, the girl would be driven away the next day.
I treat you as a sister, and you actually flirted with my brother?
Don't say Morgana and Gunny are fake sisters. It's just that the difference between Arthur and Gunny is too big, so big that it's impossible for them to get together. If Arthur really gets together with Gunny, then the reputation of the entire Camelot royal family among the Celtic countries will be ruined and become a laughing stock of everyone. At that time, the ancestors of the Pendragon family will probably jump out of their graves and strangle Arthur, the unfilial descendant, and King Uther will not need others to take revenge and kill him. He will be angry to death.
So if Morgana only drives Gunny away, that's the deep sisterly love.
In short, Arthur has a ball of fire in his heart, but he doesn't know who to vent it. So Gawain, the fool, has become the best channel for venting. What Arthur is looking forward to most now is waiting for Gawain to meet him. Before that, he cares more about Gawain's victory or defeat than anyone else.
Gawain can only lose to him, Arthur!
