William led the white horse and strolled through the goddess' fairy palace. The fairy palace in another world was like a small independent world, with forests, palaces and even cities.
In the city of Immortal Palace, a strange atmosphere permeated the entire city, and strong men from the other world Anon and the human world also appeared in the city.
Human beings from other worlds and people from Britain and even countries outside Britain all come for the same purpose.
Tourney.
According to legend, King Arthur, the eternal king of Britain, will hold a grand tournament in the fairy palace of the goddess Eriu. The winner will not only become King Arthur's successor, but also possess King Arthur's holy sword.
King Arthur's holy sword is the sword of kingship. Owning it means possessing the kingship of Britain. For people in the world where magic exists and miracles can be realized at any time, whoever can possess the sword of kings and whoever becomes the king of Britain is destiny. Returning is no less than God personally stamping a seal with the word "king" on your head.
If it were a British noble, it would even be possible to claim sovereignty over England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, challenging the current British king.
The beautiful star will become the winning wife, and the country, power, status, glory and beauty seem to be at your fingertips.
To get all this, you only need to win the tournament.
Of course it's not easy.
The tourney sounds like a modern unrestricted fighting competition. In fact, for the knights, the tourney is nothing more than a war, a war that requires the sacrifice of one's life to win.
Although the tourney cannot bring meritorious service like participating in wars and crusades, it can bring glory to the participants.
Glory is the life of a knight. Participating in the competition can not only win glory for oneself, but also show one's martial arts and bravery, gain favor from noble ladies, pay attention to the monarch, and spread fame. This is the best way to stand out.
Maces, battle axes, iron bars, spears and swords are all legal weapons that can be used in tournaments. Except for the contest between two people, it is not surprising even if thousands of knights formed a legion to charge and kill each other. .
Especially when the knights on both sides of the tournament represent competition between different princes and different countries, this is a real war.
According to Hans's recollection, Baron Andager often settled personal disputes with other lords at tournaments in the Earl of Thorne.
In history, there are many cases where people were killed in tournaments, and the hatred between knights spread throughout the territory, eventually leading to large-scale wars between princes.
All in all, a martial arts tournament involves risking one's life, and there is no such thing as a stopgap. Therefore, the most important thing about a martial arts tournament is to protect oneself.
Protecting yourself is very important for knights.
The so-called knight does not mean that he has a horse and a gun. To charge on the battlefield, he needs a suit of armor that is armed to the teeth. His head, chest, lower body and thighs, the whole person is like a modern Iron Man. As long as he has the holy seal Powered right it's a medieval tank on a rampage.
Therefore, even the second-level Prince Liam has to equip himself with a knight's armor that is armed to the teeth. Only in this way can he have a greater chance of winning in the tournament.
King Arthur did not personally announce the rules of the competition, so no one knows what rules the tournament will use to determine the final winner.
If there was a large-scale knight battle, let alone Liam, even if the evil dragon came, facing an army of thousands of knights on horseback and charging into the battle with spears in hand, they would retreat at this moment.
So William took the white horse and went to the blacksmith shop near Asgard to forge an armor for his master Liam.
"Your Highness, making an armor is much more troublesome than making a handy weapon. The martial arts tournament is about to begin. Even if we start building it now, it's too late."
William himself was a young blacksmith. He knew that even a master like his father, Old William, would spend a lot of effort to make a suitable sword, but a well-made armor that was armed to the teeth would not take a day. It can be made in two days, and it is absolutely impossible not to spend two or three months. Even if a set of medieval armor is made in modern times, it cannot be solved in one or two days.
The value of a knight's armor is no less than one or two knights' estates. In other words, a knight's armor can be exchanged for the same amount of gold coins, which is enough to buy the identity of a knight. Therefore, knight's armor is often an heirloom of the knight's family.
"It doesn't matter. Master Cross is proficient in magic and can summon the flame elves to make it for him. He is a master among masters and cannot be compared with ordinary blacksmiths."
Liam explained easily, not at all worried about whether the knight's armor would be ready in a while.
William suddenly stopped talking when he heard Liam's explanation.
Since you have mentioned that there is magic and can summon flame elves to help with forging, it is useless for William to say more. The productivity of the medieval world is quite backward, but there is magic in the medieval world of fairy tales, so it cannot be generalized. , Magic is something that cannot be explained by common sense.
The blacksmith shop is located in the center of the bustling city of Asgard. The further you go, the more and more knights you see on the road, including some non-human beings. King Arthur holds a tourney. Since there is no requirement that the contestants in the tourney must Only knights and knight squires can participate, but free people and non-human beings can also participate, so the demand for high-quality armor suddenly increased.
William lamented in his heart that a poor knight like him would probably not be able to afford knight armor.
"Diarmaid was in great pain. This upright and brave knight and unparalleled warrior was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was his monarch, and on the other hand, he was his beloved princess. For a hero, he needs to fulfill his duties. He has an obligation to be loyal to the monarch, but for his own glory, he must also be responsible for the lady he loves deeply."
The story of the bard was heard in the distance. The knights, nobles and even the ladies in the distance stopped and covered their faces with handkerchiefs to listen to the bard's story.
William's body trembled and he vaguely felt that the voice was familiar. He led the white horse and suddenly realized something. The bard began to tell the story again, "Finally, at the request of the future queen, the noble lady, Dill Mede eloped with her, and the king, who was abandoned by his fiancée, was furious and pursued her with an army. He could not be forgiven even if he fled into the forest."
"It's Mr. Green." William looked at the middle-aged man telling the story on the street and exclaimed his name. Mr. Green seemed to have seen William, and took off his hat and slapped William with his hand. Say hello and smile.
"Sorry everyone, today's story is over. Please come back tomorrow to hear the next story."
Mr. Green bowed down to greet everyone. The guests who were listening in fascination, with expressions of regret and reluctance on their faces, threw one coin after another into Mr. Green's hat, and finally left reluctantly. .
"Mr. Green, why are you here?" William couldn't help asking.
"It's God's arrangement, William, it's God who made us meet." Mr. Green said with a smile, and then looked at Liam on the white horse and nodded, "Your Highness Liam, long time no see."
