Chapter 242
10 Golden Dragon commissions are not in vain, it is worth the money!
Dany is sitting on the saddle, looking at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, feeling the bright and quiet afternoon sun, and feeling very comfortable: a group of unseen turtles, dare to pretend to me!
“cough cough cough, eye-opening, learned.” Baelor Brightsmile on the 5-Layer platform put his chin and eyeballs back on the ground, reminding the trumpeter in front of the platform, "Blow the horn, get ready to start the race."
"Woo-"
The melodious and low horn sound made the sluggish spectators and riders came back to his senses, and the scene started to fall. Needle can smell become as noisy as a vegetable market.
"My God, Ser Bat is so handsome!" screamed a noble Maiden.
"In the most shocking debut ever, Prince the bat will become a Legendary like Prince of Dragonflies and Dragonrider."
"That symphony..."
Mysterious Knight, who was originally looked down upon, has suddenly soared in coolness. Some people say that he must be a noble and handsome young Ser, and some people say that he may come from the Seven Kingdoms Duke family.
Some even suspected that he was King Tommen - only a young Kingslayer could be so rich and so 'elegant', and then someone immediately retorted that King Tommen is short and fat, not like his scandalous father Jaime Slim and handsome.
"bang!" The roar of the wooden guns bursting and shattering woke up the arguing audience. When they saw the two horses staggered past, they came back to his senses: now they are jousting!
Everyone looked attentively, and saw another deep scratch on Earl Garlan's oak shield painted with Golden Rose lacquer, plus the traces left by the previous two battles, the golden wooden shield had another deep scratch. There is an "eight"-shaped dent, and the small broken wood grains are leaking out.
However, Mysterious Knight is not good either. The black bat on his iron-clad wooden shield has lost half of its body, revealing the shiny white iron under the black lacquer.
The two of them threw away the broken spear in their hands, and took a new wooden spear from Squire. The horse trotted for a while with its hoofs, adjusted its direction, leaned forward, and had a long spear in hand. Lay flat, the crotch horse accelerates.
At the moment of staggering, Mysterious Knight twisted, and the shield avoided the spear head from the stabbing, separating the spear body, but he moved too much, and the long spear of oneself could not adjust the angle, just right. Top on the opponent's wooden shield.
“bang!” sawdust fluttering, Mysterious Knight has only half of the long spear left in the water, Garlan the Galant on the opposite side is unscathed, only one more scratch on the shield, plus the previous two, it looks like a “person” shape.
"Good!" The audience cheered in unison.
"Come on, Ser Bat!" Many nobles know how strong Garlan is, and I heard that when he usually trains in the drill field, he often plays one against three, or one against four, because one against one cannot be given to him. Bring a little pressure.
And in the two rounds, Mysterious Knight was able to play evenly with him, and everyone was shocked.
In fact, it's not really shocking. Although Dany is a woman, her body is well-proportioned and slender, but her strength is not low. Perhaps the content of spiritual substances in her body is too high. At the normal development stage of sixteen years old, the speed of her strength growth is a bit abnormal.
In the system evaluation, her current physical fitness is close to 1.4, and the balanced development of strength and speed are both 1.4 (1.2 two months ago). Garlan's strength is of course stronger than her, about 1.6. Cloak is about the same.
But Garlan's development is not balanced, maybe his speed and agility are not weaker than Dany, but his eyesight, balance, riding skills, especially dynamic perspective, are far inferior to her.
Well, Garlan can't even beat Dany's riding skills. Maybe extraordinary natural talent, maybe because of the many dragon battles, she moves smoothly on horseback, under the most bumpy road conditions and the most violent collisions. , she can be as easy as walking on the ground.
Even Jhiqui often laments that Dothraki on horseback is not as skilled as Khaleesi.
Throwing away the broken long spear, taking one from Barristan again, Dany takes a good breath, leans forward, lays the long spear flat, and starts the third sprint.
The hooves are rumbling, there are only two horses, and the ground is shaking slightly. Dany's heart is still like water, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind are eliminated. The shouts of the audience in her ears are leaving her little by little, only oneself can hear the gasping. But even breathing.
"Ta Ta Ta..."
As she got closer, the silhouette of the rider in front gradually enlarged in front of her. No, it was the oak shield that enlarged.
The center of the "human" shape, the intersection of the three scratches, is getting bigger and bigger, occupying almost all her sight, this time, she didn't even pay attention to each other's long spear.
“dong!” The right hand long spear hit that point like lightning, and the force of the high-speed impact of the centaurs spread from that point to all around, “ka-cha —bang!”
Garlan's oak shield, as she planned, split into three pieces along the "herringbone"-shaped scratches, and the wood pieces were flying, the long spear trend continued, and the left waist behind the shield was centered, "Bang——"
Garlan the Galant couldn't take it any longer, and with a screeching shriek, he got out of the saddle and tumbled into the mud.
The audience was silent at first, some couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, they just stared at Earl lying on the ground moan, squire rushed over and shouted, "Stretcher, bring the stretcher here."
p>
"Wow——" Everyone woke up, watching Squire bring Garlan, who was dizzy and eyes blurred, unable to move even a little bit, back to the tent, they all shouted in disbelief, "The Seven is above, that thin Ser Bat actually defeated Earl Garlan?"
"Before the finals, there is no one to protect Knight!"
"That little guy is so strong, he can't tell. "
"No, Ser Bat deliberately scratched the shield the first two times, the third time..."
The male spectator and the riders discussed spiritedly, The Maiden cheered loudly, while Dany rode proudly, waving his arms from under the wooden platform, and threw Maiden body fragrance and powder, silk scarves and palace fans to her, and some male nobles secretly took oranges , Apple hit her.
Arriving in front of the sedan chair, Dany waved his hand, and the exciting and majestic theme song of Game of Thrones was played again. Eight flower-scattering Maiden surrounded her, swaying petals on her body, and the scene The atmosphere is getting warmer.
......
"House Fossoway invited you to the banquet, but I declined for you."
It's night, the nth time old Knight Get out of the tent and meet the squire that invites the mysterious Knight to the dinner.
It was also the nth time to bring Dany a gift from the nobles, this time it was a lump of hot gray and black mud. In Dany's curious eyes, White Cloak used a dagger to pry open the hard dirt covering the outside, revealing the tender white fish fillet inside.
"This is grilled trout, freshly caught from Honeywine, slaughtered immediately, stuffed with fruit, sealed in clay and seared, would you like to try it?"
Tender and refreshing, with With the sweet and sour grapes, what is even more rare is that there is almost no fishy smell.
"A squire from House Fossoway seems to have been here before?" Dany mumbled, taking a sip of golden wine.
"There are two branches in one family, the former one is from New Barrel, this one is from Cider Hall, both use apples as their family emblems. Did Your Majesty have any idea?"
"Oh, it reminded me when you reminded me that there are indeed two apple Knights, the red apple and the green apple."
"Your Majesty, you are really in the limelight today!" Old Knight sighed.
"Small idea." Dany waved his hand in a reserved manner.
"Then, do you still invite the band tomorrow?"
"No, we will keep a low profile in the next few days."
Old Knight......
Dany is impossible to keep a low profile. On the morning of the second day, when only 55 Knights rode into the arena in turn, Dany's cheers were no lower than Baelor Brightsmile.
The competition for "Queen of Love and Beauty" officially started. First, four guardian Knights stepped forward, Baelor Hightower, Garth Hightower who had a relationship with Dany at Smith's shop, Landed Knight Jon Cupps , Desmond Redwyne of Arbor.
They were Rhyllia's father, uncle, two uncles, and originally cousin Garlan Tyrell, but they were eliminated by mysterious Knight.
"From now on, the four of us will guard Rhyllia's crown. You can challenge one of us as you look towards us, and each person accepts up to three challenges." Baelor said loudly to the 51 Knights below. .
Dany has figured out the rules from the old Knight in advance, and the number of challenges is determined by the number of remaining Knights.
For example, at this time, 55 players, one bye, the remaining 54 players are eliminated by half, and the remaining 28 players; after the second round, there are 14 players left; after the third round, there are seven players left.
At this time, the remaining seven people have participated in three competitions and passed three rounds of knock-out competition.
If Baelor is challenged three times and he wins all of them, then he will directly become one of the last seven, and the three who fail the challenge will be eliminated naturally - only the first and second place will be rewarded , and the first and second places are only possible among the last seven.
Those who do not complete the three challenges will continue the singles rounds.
Dany thinks this kind of rule is a bit... take off your pants and fart.
It was only after the old Knight explained that she understood that under such rules, in addition to increasing the level of conflict and intensity, making it more enjoyable for the audience to watch, it also gave everyone a chance to challenge the great aristocracy.
After all, there is only one champion, and there must be a little "sweetness" for others.
At this time, nothing special can be seen. The four guardian Knights are not very high in status - in fact, Baelor Hightower is already noble enough.
But what if Baelor is replaced by Duncan Targaryen, or Prince Rhaegar?
A fair chance against Rhaegar!
For example, young Barristan, he got the title of "Barristan the Bold" because he challenged Prince of Dragonflies as a mysterious Knight.
Although he failed the challenge, a comment from Prince of Dragonflies made the young man instantly become a well-known "promising youth".
His challenge even became a classic in the Seven Kingdoms Knight story.
...
When Baelor announced the start of the challenge, Dany was the first to step up, pointing the lance at the sallow-faced Ser Desmond Redwyne.
After watching the game for a few days, Dany also got to know the strength of several Guardians. This Ser Redwyne is not as strong, fast and eyesight as hers.
She guessed right. After three rounds, the guardian fell off the horse.
Dany becomes one of the "Guardian Knights".
This act of stealing the limelight immediately caused public anger - also because she was small and looked like a bully, immediately eight Knights stood up to challenge her at the same time.
The next step is very simple. Dany has only two places left. Eight people must duel first, complete two rounds, and eliminate six, leaving only two people.
In the afternoon, Dany easily unhorse the two winners.
She's advanced, and no one can challenge her again.
