As the conference progressed, knights continued to return home defeated. The luckier ones only suffered minor skin injuries and could just rest for two days. There are some who are just unlucky and some who just belch. The competition between knights has always been so fierce.
But people have always lacked sympathy for these losers. They will only chase the winners. Players are immediately forgotten once they lose. No matter how favored they were before, once they lose, a more popular player will immediately replace them.
It is also because of such tragedy that some rookies who originally harbored romantic ideas began to shrink back. 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 overwhelmingly and be influenced by all the people. People's worship.
But reality is always cruel. When they truly stepped on their horses for the first time and faced those menacing opponents, they understood that there were not so many protagonists in this world. So some people started to drop out of the game.
Two of the knights who came to Sennod withdrew directly without even participating in a game. However, apart from making the Camelot people gloat and scold Sennod for being cowards, it did not cause any arousal. How much attention.
All attention is now drawn to the victor.
Among these winners, two 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 is destined to be unique. In other countries, the crown prince rarely ends up dueling with other knights. This is not only a matter of status, but also because as a crown prince, he must maintain his own sense of superiority. If a crown prince loses to others easily in a competition , which undermines the majesty of the crown prince.
Therefore, Arthur's registration made many knights excited. The reputation brought by defeating a crown prince is definitely not small. Anyone who is not a knight of Camelot is very willing to use Prince Arthur to decorate their honor.
This also leads to the fact that whenever you fight Arthur, the knights on the opposite side will automatically have their morale maxed out.
Arthur didn't feel it was unfair, on the contrary, he only felt his blood boiling. Since Kai came back from traveling around the world, he had spent most of his time training him, and now it was time to verify the results of his training.
Arthur was extremely excited.
And another star who is attracting attention is a bit unexpected, his name is Gawain.
This name was almost unknown before this Knights Conference, but as the conference progresses to now, this name is getting louder and louder. Like Arthur, he participated in all three competitions of the conference, but unlike Arthur, his participation in the three competitions was public. Everyone knew from the start that he competed in eventing.
This is not unusual in this Knights Conference. What is really strange is that he is very likely to complete the triathlon after Kai! Among them, the Cavaliers melee was on the penultimate day of the conference, so it is difficult to evaluate.
But in the other two competitions, the lance competition and the knightly competition, he made great progress. His advantages in each competition were quite obvious, and he could even be said to be able to do so with ease. Coupled with his bohemian style, he is very popular with the audience, especially ladies.
On the tenth day of the conference, whenever Gawain competes, the ladies of Camelot become particularly crazy, and they even exclude the men. When Gao Wen was playing, looking around, the first few rows of the auditorium were full of gorgeously dressed ladies screaming and cheering for Gao Wen.
This makes Gawain the most jealous of other knights after Arthur. For Arthur, the other knights at most just want to become famous through Arthur, but for Gawain, it is naked jealousy! Who gave him so many female fans?
Having female fans is a public enemy.
It's not the fault of those knights. They all came from violent backgrounds, and looks are secondary. What they want is strength and fierceness. How can it be a deterrent if it is neither strong nor fierce? So generally speaking, the vast majority of fans of Cavaliers games are men, and most women are not interested in such bloody games.
In the past, no one had any female fans, so no one criticized anyone, so there was nothing to be jealous of. Even at the Knights Conference that Kai participated in, there were not so many women supporting Kai wildly. It's not that Kai isn't handsome, it's mainly that Gawain is not only handsome but also bohemian. As the saying goes, men are not bad and women are not handsome. Kai always behaves calmly and seriously. This kind of character is not popular with women.
But Gawain is different. He almost satisfies all women's fantasies about men.
He is handsome, tall and strong, humorous, and unrestrained. Even his biggest shortcoming, poverty, is no longer a problem because he became famous in the Knights Conference. As his reputation grows, it is conceivable that his future is no longer a problem. There are many noble lords who are willing to pay a lot of money to turn Gawain into their vassal.
Gawain has now become the benchmark for a perfect partner, and now the city of Camelot even gives Gawain a nickname, Prince Charming.
On the one hand, this is because Gawain's war horse is white, and on the other hand, it also praises Gawain as the handsome, rich, and capable man that women meet in their dreams.
Gawain then became the public enemy of the other knights.
To put it in a more vulgar way, he is almost allowed to pretend all by himself, but he still lets other people mess around. This kind of person must be killed!
What no one expected was that this also included Arthur.
Arthur doesn't care what other women do, he's not that superficial. But when Gun Niang got involved, things changed.
Although Gun Niang is not as crazy as other women, Gun Niang is still watching Gawain's game without giving up. And Gao Wen is also very considerate to Gun Niang. After winning every game, he will send flowers to Gun Niang to express his love.
This caused Gun Niang to be scolded by countless women. If Morgana hadn't protected Gun Niang, she would have been torn apart by those confused women who treated her as a mistress.
All in all, this scene deeply stimulated Arthur. But other than telling Merlin about his depression, he didn't dare to let anyone know about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Even Morgana, who always likes to be in cahoots with him, can't know.
Even though Morgana and Gunslinger seem to be the same person, once Morgana knows that Gunslinger and Arthur have feelings for each other, believe it or not, Gunslinger will be driven away the next day.
I regard you as my sister, but you actually date my younger brother?
Don't say that Morgana and Gun Niang are plastic sisters. In fact, the identity gap between Arthur and Gun Niang is so big that it is impossible to combine. If Arthur really marries Gun Niang, then the reputation of the entire Camelot royal family among the Celtic countries will be ruined and become the laughing stock of everyone. By then, the ancestors of the Pendragon family will probably They would jump out of their graves so angry that they would strangle Arthur's unworthy descendants to death. King Uther didn't need anyone else to take revenge and kill him. He could still be angry to death.
Calculating it this way, if Morgana just drives away the mother-in-law, that will be the deepest love between sisters.
All in all, there was a fire gathering in Arthur's heart, and he didn't know who to vent to. So Gawain became the best outlet. What Arthur is looking forward to most now is waiting for Gawain to meet him. Before that, he is more concerned with Gawain's victory or defeat than anyone else.
Gawain can only lose to Arthur!
