"Your Excellency Francis, I don't want to duel with you now. I am unarmed at this time and have even lost my strength. Such a duel is unfair to me. Even if you win, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Get the glory.”
William took a deep breath and said that he did not want to fight Francis at this time, the environment did not allow it, and his situation did not allow it.
"If you don't duel with me, then it will be regarded as my automatic victory." The brave Francis took back his sword and said seriously, without caring about his own face.
Dueling in the Middle Ages was a panacea for resolving disputes. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, Charlemagne re-established the country on the ruins of the Western Roman Empire. Although the emperor was a Roman emperor and the country was a Roman Empire, they were still essentially Germanic barbarians. The political power has nothing to do with the spiritual connotation of the former Roman Empire.
The emperor was illiterate, not to mention the dukes, nobles, and knights. Therefore, instead of using the legal means of Roman law, everyone preferred to use duels to resolve disputes. It didn't matter whether it was right or wrong. As long as you won, it was right. , the loser is naturally at fault.
According to the common view of the world, the righteous party will be protected by God, which will give him great power to win.
Thus settling disputes, courting the affections of ladies, and litigating cases in court were all settled by duels.
For example, in the UK, when two parties fight a lawsuit in court, even a civil case can be decided through a duel. Whoever wins is the just one, while the loser and the one who shrinks must be the guilty person who has a ghost in his heart.
"Now I have neither the Holy Sword nor the power of the Holy Seal. Even if you win, it will not be glorious."
William's words were filled with accusations, almost saying that the brave Francis was shameless.
A sacred duel should be conducted when both parties are well prepared and appear to be evenly matched.
William just felt that this duel was necessary, not only because the current situation was wrong, but also because he did not see love for Lily in Francis's eyes, but more like a deliberate duel with himself to defeat or even kill himself.
Francis was holding the holy sword at the peak of his power, but he was unarmed, and the power of the holy seal and the blood of the red dragon fell into silence. This was not a duel but a murder.
"Sorry, William, this is your problem, not mine. A knight's duel is like being on the battlefield. The enemy on the battlefield will not let you go just because you have no weapons."
The brave Francis spread his hands, and the light of the holy sword immediately struck William's shoulder. The excessive speed formed a visual afterimage.
William's body instinctively moved. He rolled around and dodged. The holy light of the holy sword fell on the ground, blasting big holes.
William, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly felt a little creepy. This guy Francis was serious.
This is simply trying to kill yourself.
"Francis, you did it on purpose!" William took a deep breath and shouted, furious, the blood all over his body was boiling, and the red dragon's blood in his heart instantly flowed throughout his body.
"This is a duel!" Francis said loudly, refuting William's words, "It is not the strong who wins, but the winner who is the strong. The weak deserve to die."
"Stop it, this is not a duel at all!"
Lily looked at this scene in surprise and yelled at Francis who wanted to kill someone, "You bully defenseless people and call yourself a duel. If you continue, you will pay the price for it. This is not a threat."
The brave Francis looked at the angry Lily, and then at William, with an uncertain expression on his face. As long as he defeated William in a duel, he could take away all the blessings of fate that William had, but if he ignored Lily's If you give a warning, you will definitely offend Lily and get a curse-like ban.
"Yes, the duel should be held in a fair environment."
A familiar voice came over, and a tall warrior wearing silver armor came over, holding the holy sword Dawn in his hand and spoke slowly.
"Liam!" The brave Francis looked at the young warrior in front of him and called out his name.
"Long time no see, Francis, you are still the same, you have never changed." Liam smiled and greeted the brave Francis, and at the same time looked at William and Lily beside him, and then turned his eyes He took it back and said, "Francis, it doesn't seem very kind of you to do this."
"What does this have to do with you?" Francis sneered, "Whoever escapes from battle has no right to criticize me."
"Why it has nothing to do with me. You are challenging my squire. In fact, you are challenging me. A knight squire must fight with his master (knight), because the master's glory is the squire's glory, and the squire's shame is also the master's shame. . William is my attendant, and the glory and shame of William and I are one, so this matter must not be settled like this, I want to duel with you."
Liam took out his sword, and the silver light slowly poured out, exuding holy power, the dawn of the holy sword.
"How can you use the Holy Sword of Dawn? You pagan, do you think you have converted?" Francis watched Liam take out the Holy Sword. The light from the Holy Sword of Dawn was so dazzling.
Although the Holy Sword of Dawn currently circulated is an authentic secondary weapon, it can be used as an authentic product. The power exerted by people with different qualifications is also very different when used by people with different qualifications. The legendary Holy Sword is recognized by The owner can even use the secondary weapon as if it were the real thing.
It is difficult to achieve 100% use of the power of the Holy Sword, but different users can exert different powers of the Holy Sword. As the master of the Holy Sword, the brave Francis has The manipulation of power is one of the best.
Now he saw something. Liam, the last descendant of the Danaan Protoss, escaped from the battle and was actually able to use the power of the Holy Sword Dawn.
Damn it.
Francis saw the shining brilliance of the holy sword in Liam's hand and the holy power flowing on the armor. This was the power blessed by the saint.
"Liam, I didn't expect that you, a die-hard Druid believer, would also rebel. Originally, I only thought that I might be forced to convert..."
Francis said with a wry smile. He was originally a devout Christian. Who knew that due to a trick of fate, he actually became a "believer" of the German gods. He changed his beliefs and received the blessings of the German gods. Liam converted to Christianity and received blessings from Christian saints, and the two completely changed places.
"Do you think I am such a shameless guy like you? I am a descendant of the goddess Danu, the last descendant of the Danaan clan, the prince of the ancient Irish (Aelin) kingdom, the last king, and the leader of the dwarves. I am of noble birth. I You are a prince and a king, with the blood of the ancestral goddess Danu flowing in your veins. Who do you think you are to think that you can be compared with me. I am like Ossian, son of Finn. Even if St. Patrick preaches, he will not change its aspirations.”
Liam taunted Frances with a condescending mockery in his tone.
Ossian was the son of Finn. He lived a long life, more than three hundred years, and lived from the heroic age of Celtic mythology to the era when St. Patrick came to Ireland to preach. The old Ossian told St. Patrick The story of Finn and the Fiona warriors, St. Patrick listened to Ossian's story, recorded it, and persuaded him to convert to Christianity.
People who do not believe in religion will inevitably suffer in hell, such as his father and his people, but if they believe in Christianity, they can enter God's heaven.
Ossian refused. He had a fairy as his wife and had seen the beautiful scenery of the fairy palace. Everything was so magnificent. He had no nostalgia for the human world, so what was the point of entering heaven.
Ossian is a Celtic hero who could not be converted even by Christian saints’ personal preaching. Liam calls himself Ossian, which is undoubtedly a mockery of the other party.
"Then how can you use the holy sword to put on the holy armor!" Francis asked.
Liam rolled his eyes at him and said with contempt, "You are stupid, I am the last king of the Kingdom of Erin (ancient Ireland), and I am also the Lord Protector of William. I am the holder of the Holy Sword, the holder of Saint Kay. The one who slays the dragon."
Protecting lords is a unique tradition under the medieval feudal system. Nobles, knights and free names can dedicate their territories, land or treasures and personal status to the nobility in order to obtain protection. In return, the nobility enjoys this benefit. The interests of one's own vassals must also be protected from infringement.
The relationship between William and Liam is that of a knight's squire and a knight's master. If Liam acts as a king, it is a relationship between a king and his vassal lord. William's title is also the title of the king.
The dragon-slaying hero, the holder of the Holy Sword, the holder of the Holy Kai.
Liam can add any title that William has to his own, and this title means power.
What is a king? He is a human monarch. Finn is a great hero who has defeated the gods, but he is still subject to the control of the High King of Ireland.
Great demigod heroes like Hercules and Achilles are no exception. Several of Hercules' twelve feats were accomplished willingly, many of which were made difficult by the king and sanctioned by the law. I myself was once a slave.
Achilles participated in the war, claiming that he had made the most sacrifices, contributed the most, and achieved the most glorious results in the war, but he gained very little. All his gains were swallowed up by Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, the commander of the Greek coalition forces.
The reason is, of course, because the other party is a king. Even if you are a demigod hero like Hercules, Achilles, or Finn who is comparable to a god, you will still be controlled by the king who has the title of king and minister with you.
