In the end, Morgause stayed in Camelot City. In fact, this was inevitable. After all, Morgause is a living person and she doesn’t want to leave. What can Nivi do to her? Should he rush into Camelot and take her back?
In fact, Nivi also understands Morgause's thoughts, because if we really want to talk about it, the hatred between Morgause and King Uther is much deeper than Nivi's hatred. Both her parents died at the hands of King Uther, and she even saw her mother killed by King Uther with her own eyes!
And her mother was King Uther’s lover, Vivienne, the wife of Duke Gros of Cornwall!
Of course, Morgause is not the daughter of King Uther, she is the daughter of Vivienne and her husband Gloss, Duke of Cornwall. In her childhood, Morgause could be said to have been doted on by thousands of people. She was born into a noble family, and her parents loved each other.
But all this changed after Duke Gloss of Cornwall failed in a rescue attempt by King Uther. Her father had just died in battle, and King Uther led people to the Duke of Cornwall's castle and killed himself. His mother Viviane also took away his sister Morgana.
Morgana was still young at that time and did not know the truth of the matter, but Morgause knew the whole story. In her opinion, all this is King Uther eradicating dissidents. He first killed his father, and then planned to kill his mother and himself in order to eradicate the roots.
If Gaius, who was by King Uther's side at that time, hadn't been kind-hearted and let her go secretly, she would have suffered from King Uther's murderous hand. Morgause was even more fortunate that Morgana was still young at the time. King Uther was afraid that his reputation would be damaged, otherwise Morgana would not be able to escape the murderous hand.
Morgause must stay in Camelot this time, and he also wants to see his sister.
…
On December 15th, the originally rainy weather finally became sunny. It seems that God gave him face because of the official opening of the Knights Conference. Kai also rarely relaxed.
With the convening of the Knights Conference, the knights who caused trouble were finally attracted by the Knights Conference and had no time to fight and cause trouble. Kai no longer had to go around solving troubles like a firefighter.
Today is the first day of the opening. As members of the Camelot royal family, King Uther, Arthur, Morgana and Kai all need to attend the opening. So Kai could sit back and watch the violent gangs fighting each other in the duel today, instead of trying to stop them from fighting like before.
King Uther is very passionate about knight duels. It can even be said that the two things that King Uther is most proud of in his life, besides allowing Camelot to completely surrender to the rule of magic, are hosting the Camelot Knights Conference. today's scale.
Take this knight conference as an example. There are already more than 500 knights participating!
Maybe you don't think it matters much just by looking at this number. After all, the number five hundred is really not that much. But it would be different if the word knight was added after the number. For example, take Camelot. As the most prosperous and prosperous city among the Celtic kingdoms, this city only supports one hundred and fifty knights!
In the entire Kingdom of Camelot, the total number of knights is less than three hundred.
Because knights are very expensive!
Even the most desolate wandering knight needs to be equipped with a war horse, a set of chain mail and a set of knight's armor, several lances, a knight's sword, and a shield. This is the standard equipment of a knight. Without these, no one will believe you if you say you are a knight.
And how much does it cost to equip these things?
Here is an account.
The first is war horses. This is the island of Great Britain, which is not rich in horses, so the price of horses is very, very expensive. Let's take Camelot as an example. The price of a bullock in the market is only three gold coins, and the price of a sheep is even less than a few silver coins. But what about a qualified war horse? At least thirty gold coins are needed! Remember, these are just qualified war horses. The prices of those war horses with good bloodlines and good condition will only keep rising.
There is also chain armor. In Gwen's blacksmith shop, the cheapest set of chain armor costs ten gold coins, while knight's plate armor costs ten to twenty times as much! As for knight guns, long swords and shields, they can only be considered small money in comparison.
Calculating this, the standard equipment for a knight alone requires at least two hundred gold coins! For example, Gawain, the former prodigal knight, looked poor and didn't even have a squire, but in fact his own wealth exceeded that of most middle-class families in Camelot.
This is just the most basic. The cost of a noble canonizing a knight is higher. First of all, if you want the knight to be loyal to you, you must give land, and the land must be at least one village. Then there is the knight's monthly salary, which cannot be low. Let's put it this way, a qualified soldier's monthly salary is at most three gold coins, and the knight's salary must be at least ten times this number. !
Therefore, even a wealthy kingdom like Camelot could only support less than 300 knights. King Uther has one hundred and fifty knights in his hands, who are very, very good among the countries.
And the Knights Conference can gather 500 knights to participate in the competition at one time, so you can imagine how influential it is. You know, these knights came here to make a name for themselves, so most of these knights are young and fledgling. Those knights with monarchs and fiefdoms rarely participate in such competitions. This is basically a The younger generation of knights caught them all in one fell swoop.
King Uther felt extremely satisfied when he saw the forest of flags in the duel field.
The opening speech was naturally delivered by King Uther. Throughout the ages, the grander the occasion, the more high-sounding the leader's speech was. To put it bluntly, it was all correct nonsense. The speaker was sleepy, and at least Kai had no interest in listening. This is just like the police force's anti-pornography and illegality summary meeting in the previous life. It is all clichés and has no new ideas at all.
However, those King Uther talked very enthusiastically and did not feel bored at all. Maybe leaders are like this, so Kai always thought that he had no talent as a leader.
All in all, after a lengthy speech, the knight's duel finally began.
And the first person to appear is naturally our Prince Arthur!
Because it is the first round of preliminary rounds, the officials in charge of the process will not choose any strong opponent to fight against Prince Arthur. After all, as a prince, he must have the cards he deserves. If he has to fight an unknown knight for three times in the preliminary round, A hundred rounds, that would be too embarrassing.
