After two fights, two people died, and the atmosphere had completely changed.
Many people showed sympathy for the old Cavaliers who were about to play.
The one Oran sent out was Ulf.
As a priest, he was so energetic that he was able to have three illegitimate children with two women despite being so busy with government and academic affairs.
This kind of behavior is not glorious, but it is the norm.
Oran, the "Irish priest" from further afield, heard that some people were getting married.
Priests mastered classics, medicine, cultural communication, and were also engaged in labor. Farming was a basic skill. Many of them were even able to weave, make wine, and animal husbandry... They also invented skills such as sign language to cope with the ascetic practices.
Make priests the top of society and the spreaders of faith.
And people have desires and needs. No matter how many times they recite the Holy Word, it is difficult to eradicate them. On the spur of the moment, they may commit sexual desires.
There is nothing that can be done and the church will turn a blind eye.
If Ulf's illegitimate son grows up and is outstanding, he can recommend him to study in the church or serve in Oran Castle.
At this time, the feudal lord still had great power.
Kingship and divine power are always in a struggle and are not static.
When "Charlemagne" founded a powerful empire in Western Europe, although he was crowned by the Pope, he firmly controlled the "Episcopal Appointment Law". The appointment and removal of priests within the territory ultimately required the consent of Charlemagne himself, once again delegating the power of the king. to the peak.
Britain was isolated overseas and was invaded by the Vikings, so the lords had to use force to protect their territory.
Therefore, the secular power of the monarch was greater than that of the Frank monarch over the priests, and there were fewer checks and balances on dogma.
This was one of the reasons why Oran allowed his men to kill people in front of the priests.
The red-haired man drew his sword, blaspheming first. His men killed people during the fighting, and the archbishop found it difficult to hold him accountable.
As for the Lord Ella, she has to give the honor and face of a county uncle. Since it is a competition, life and death will depend on one's ability.
Neither the monarchy nor the divine authority can threaten themselves at this moment. Faced with Oran's arrogance, the game can only continue.
Before Ulf went up, Malm finally couldn't help but say, "He...he is very, very old."
"You want me to let him go?"
"Um……"
Malm didn't dare to watch the deaths of the first two people. She didn't understand why men were so keen on fighting.
I don't understand why these two knights didn't apologize to Oran, just like the knights who retreated.
He didn't understand that he had never shown any affection for the red-haired Carl, but Carl wanted to ruin the wedding.
There were too many confusions. At this moment, when she saw the old knight putting on his armor and preparing to fight, she couldn't bear it, so she tried to persuade him.
When Ulf approached and saluted Oran, Oran stood up and whispered a few words to him. The former was confused at first, but after hearing Oran's analysis, he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't miss it."
When Malm heard this, he had no choice but to look at each other with his fourth sister Mia behind him, his eyes full of helplessness.
…
Ulf and the old knight walked up to the stage, nodded to everyone, and then looked at each other. After announcing each other's homes, they both drew their knight's sword at the same time.
The old knight was not tall, and he drew his sword very slowly.
"Is he shaking?"
Ulf saw the old knight gasping for air and using the "Fool's Sword Stance", but the downward-pointing sword tip continued to shake. It touched the ground and then was pulled up again and again. Even the posture could not be maintained well.
"Oops..." Ulf frowned, what should we do?
In the face of stupidity (deception), the best way to win is to forget about Ulf and attack directly!
"Ah!" Ulf shouted, rushing over.
The old knight was so excited that he regretted seeing the two knights die tragically, and did not dare to pick them up, so he stepped back.
But the speed was too slow and he was caught up by Ulf.
brush!
Ulf took a step forward and swung a horizontal sword with his arm. The movement was so large that it exposed many openings. However, seeing that the sword could not reach him, the old knight immediately ran out of the range of the sword.
Ulf was bored. After thinking for a moment, he continued to hold the sword in his upper hand and dealt another violent blow.
But the old knight was not surprised - he kept running away.
"Running away is shameful but useful."
Now Ulf was ready to scold his mother.
He did not attack and waited for the old knight to come, but the old knight was panting and had no strength to escape. Seeing that Ulf did not come, he took the time to regain his strength.
To the nobles and knights who knew how to use swords, it seemed that the two men were fighting skillfully. However, due to the difference in vision and distance, the crowd in the distance looked different. The two men chased and slashed all the way, and the shouts from the outside added to the viewing experience.
If we use the language of later generations to describe it, it means "striking the opponent with a riding sword, with swords and lightning along the way".
After waiting and waiting, the old knight just didn't come. Ulf was annoyed, so he rushed for the third time. This time he changed his technique and used "sticky sword".
The so-called "sticky sword" means that when the sword comes into contact with the opponent's weapon, he does not throw it away immediately, but presses forward and competes with the opponent's body strength. The two swords are pressed together, and the two bodies exert force on each other, just like two heads. Angry bulls goring each other with their horns.
The body of a person who is pushed away often shakes, and he is violently attacked.
The old knight didn't see what Ulf was thinking, and he didn't have enough physical strength. When Ulf's sword came closer, he instinctively shrank back, and Ulf just leaned forward and stuck to you forcefully.
The old knight was weak and was directly overwhelmed. Ulf was quick-sighted and put aside the knight's sword in his hand, fell down with him, pressed on the old knight's body, and "hand-to-hand" combat with him.
He pulled the old knight by the collar, and it looked like he was strangling him. The people around him felt cold at the old knight.
Malm and Mia closed their eyes and prayed in their hearts.
But Ulf just shook his collar to make the confused old knight react.
"boom!"
The old knight instinctively punched Ulf's face with his hand. Originally, it only slightly grazed Ulf's face, but Ulf immediately let go of his collar, then touched his face with his hand, pretending to have his teeth knocked out, and his body Roll back.
No matter how stupid or cowardly the old knight is, he still knows that he is going to attack.
He rolled and crawled, raised the knight's sword that had fallen beside him, and attacked Ulf. Ulf immediately returned his normal expression, dodged left and right, and finally retreated to the edge of the drawn boundary.
But changes came again. The old knight ran too much and his chest hurt. He covered his heart with one hand and held a sword in the other.
Ulf even suspected that the old man would fall down on his own initiative the next moment.
But fortunately the old knight survived!
Then, the old knight raised the sword with all his strength, and the sword was refracted by the sun, which lengthened the shadows of the old knight and the knight's sword. The momentum became much stronger, and the image became taller.
"I fight for justice and justice, without selfish desires!"
This is King Arthur's surrender quotation, and all the nobles have heard it.
In this scene, it seems that if Ulf doesn't say anything, he will be cut in half in the next second.
Ulf suppressed the nausea in his heart and replied,
"The day when the holy sword is raised high, the knight returns."
One answer and one answer, a good show.
Ulf lowered his head and admitted defeat - his expression seemed to have aged twenty years, while the old knight accepted the wave of cheers.
The servant held high the old knight's twelve-star banner of the round table.
This sixty-two-year-old knight-"Qoben Hagen".
In the first battle of life, win!
And this is not the end, just the beginning...
When Ulf returned to Oran, Kunsang and the others looked at him as if he were a fool.
Only Olan said, "Well lost."
In the first two games, Olan has been observing the reactions on the court.
The two royal knights lost so miserably that Oran changed his mind and let the fight go, which lowered the anger of Ella and others as well as the residents of Dan City.
If you win all three games, there will be no real benefits other than the appearance of prestige.
Because in the fourth game, Olan planned to win in a more special way.
It's all right now, old knight Qyburn. Hagen won, going around the field shouting.
He also excitedly approached Ella and said, "The sword is too sharp and the hands are too fast..."
All in all, they were some hard-to-understand boasts, but they also made many people laugh, and the air was filled with happy sounds.
…
Before Ulf went down to change his clothes, he also nodded to Malm. Malm responded and thanked Oran.
Oran casually said "hmm", then called Kunsang over and whispered again.
"I want to win, are you ready?"
"No one will forget this battle. No one in the kingdom will dare to be rude to you!"
"Strike gently."
"Then I'll leave a half corpse."
