The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 201 The King Killer

"That's a pity, I can't wait to see that sword bathed in dragon blood."

At this time, King Robert didn't know whether it was because of excitement or alcohol, his face turned red again: "Tomorrow I will go with Ned to hunt in the forest around Winterfell, and you will follow them." Shall we go together?"

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm only staying in Winterfell temporarily, and I'm not a retainer or subordinate of the Stark family. I'm afraid I don't have this honor."

Robert turned to look at Ed who was standing beside him, and blamed him: "Ned, what did you do! A dragon slayer came to your castle, but you didn't make him a knight."

Ed was also deeply helpless about Robert's sudden reprimand, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his indifferent face: "Your Majesty, people in the northern border rarely believe in the Seven Gods, so we usually don't confer knights on our subordinates, besides, Gao Yuan Nor is it subordinate to me."

"So you're still a hedge knight and haven't sworn fealty to anyone yet?" Robert suddenly had a bold idea in mind.

"Your Majesty, I am a ranger!" Gao Yuan emphasized, "Usually I would not accept other people's employment. Lord Tucker takes any reward."

"Haha. You boy, I like you more and more." Robert, who got Gao Yuan's answer, laughed loudly, and he patted Gao Yuan's shoulder heavily with his bear-like big hand, "I'm really I really want to turn you into my vassal, but this seems to be against the rules, you haven't done any merit for me yet, and I don't have any territory in the king's land that I can confer to you."

"If I were a knight, I would definitely canonize you as a knight." Robert said with some regret, but then he remembered that there were many knights present at this banquet, so he turned to the surrounding guests They shouted: "Every knight here, is there anyone who is willing to canonize this dragon slayer as a knight on my behalf?"

"Your Majesty!" Duke Ed frowned, trying to stop the king's impulse.

King Robert waved his hand and interrupted Eddie's next words: "I am the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms now. Even in Winterfell, I have the right to make my vassals canonize a knight."

"Among the knights at the scene, is there anyone who is willing to canonize this dragon slayer?" Seeing that no one stood up, the king asked again.

The king's words caused the knights present to discuss a lot, not because they were unwilling to follow Robert's order to confer the title of knight on this young man who claimed to be a dragon slayer.After all, there are not many opportunities to please the king, but they cherish their family and personal honor more than being favored by the king.

In the eyes of these nobles of Westeros who believe in the seven gods, conferring a knight is a sacred and prudent act. Damage the knightly honor of the entrusted person, and his family will be cast aside by other families.

This kind of social pressure from the class level has largely prevented some knights from arbitrarily canonizing others as knights out of interests and other reasons.

Most of them met this dragon slayer named Gao Yuan for the first time today, and they had no idea what kind of person he was.And they were still skeptical about his claim that he had killed an evil dragon at this time, what if he was a person trying to catch a reputation.

So for the sake of their own honor and the family's reputation, they did not obey Robert's order and stood up for Gao Yuan's canonization.Even a king has no right to compel an honorable knight to knight another.

"Kingslayer!" An angry King Robert was calling to his Kingsguard like a roaring lion, "Come and crown this dragon slayer."

Hearing King Robert's call, Jaime Lannister, the Kingsguard with beautiful blond hair, came out of the crowd calmly: "Your Majesty, as your Kingsguard, I should have obeyed your orders." All orders given."

"However, it is my honor as an official knight to freely choose who to enshrine as a knight. You have no right to force me to do so, even if you are my monarch."

"Do you still have honor? People call you a kingslayer, because you killed the monarch you swore to serve." King Robert sneered at Jaime Lannister unceremoniously , "Now you are going to disobey your new master's order again?"

Facing the ridicule from King Robert, Jaime Lannister has long been used to it. He can't remember how many times he has been called a kingslayer, and it doesn't matter if he is called a few more times.

"Damn glory! What on earth do you want to agree to canonize him as a knight." Seeing that James was silent, Robert asked rudely.

"Unless he can prove his strength in the duel, draw with me or defeat me." James' answer was concise, and he agreed to Robert, as long as Gao Yuan could defeat him in the duel, or draw with me, he would agree. Canonized.

"Ned!" roared Robert, "give them those two swords, and let me see what my Kingsguard and this dragonslayer are capable of."

The Kingsguard Jaime Lannister, who once killed the "Mad King", is about to face off against Gao Yuan, who claims to be a dragon slayer. The guests around them consciously set aside a blank area for them. Even those long tables and the food on them were carried away by the servants, just to give them enough space to fully develop.

Soon, the two guards sent by Ed Stark brought the two of them the long steel swords for fighting. Compared with the Evening Star Blade made of Meteorite, this steel sword made by the blacksmith of Winterfell City is really too light.

"Why, isn't the sword in your hand very smooth?" James said with a smile on the opposite side of Gao Yuan, "May I give you some time to get used to it, I don't want to be disgraced."

"It's really not easy, because it's too light!" Gao Yuan also responded to James' kindness with a smile, "But you don't need to get used to it. To deal with you, even giving me a wooden stick is enough."

"Wow, that's a beautiful speech! I hope you can still say such beautiful words when I put the sword around your neck." James sneered, "You said you once killed a dragon, I hope this is not a rumour, otherwise it would be too disappointing for me."

"I won't disappoint you. You are much easier to deal with than Long." Gao Yuan choked back.

After some verbal confrontation, James had unknowingly come to Gao Yuan, and the steel long sword held in both hands was pointed steadily at Gao Yuan's face. From here, it can be seen that James Lannister's swordsmanship The foundation is extremely solid, and I don't neglect exercise at ordinary times.

Gao Yuan lifted the tip of the sword that was about to approach his face, and the huge force caused countless sparks to burst out when the two swords intersected.James, whose palms were trembling and a little numb, held the long sword in his hand, and attacked Gao Yuan again. The sharp sword tip passed Gao Yuan's ear, but Gao Yuan didn't retreat but went forward to bully him, hugging Gao Yuan. Caught Jaime's sword hands.

James, who hadn't had time to react, immediately let go of the hilt of his sword with his left hand and wanted to get out of Gao Yuan's grip, but found that he couldn't break free from Gao Yuan's arm, and Gao Yuan kicked him on the knee At this point, the king slayer knelt in front of Gao Yuan on one knee.

Originally, Gao Yuan was going to make James kneel in front of him, but he didn't expect that James' lower body was extremely stable, and his kick with [-]% strength just made him kneel on one knee.

But this is harmless, because the sword in his hand has already slashed towards James' neck. Fortunately, James reacted very quickly. In this ever-changing battle, he immediately retracted the long sword in his hand, blocking Gao Yuan's fatal blow.

Looking at the sharp blade in front of his neck, the sword in Gao Yuan's hand has been deeply embedded in his steel sword. If he hadn't drawn the sword in time to block, his head would have been separated from his body at this time.

But before James could breathe a sigh of relief, Gao Yuan kicked his chest covered by the Chinese clothes.

As King Robert's Kingsguard, Jaime Lannister was kicked by the dragon slayer for a distance of four or five meters in just two rounds, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation among the surrounding onlookers.Seeing this, the pot-bellied king Robert applauded Gao Yuan excitedly.

If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they would probably think that Gao Yuan was the Royal Guard who was responsible for protecting the king.

In fact, this is already the result of Gao Yuan's mercy. If he kicked James Lannister's chest without plate armor protection with all his strength, it would be enough to cause his chest to collapse and vomit blood to die instantly.

James, who was kicked by Gao Yuan and felt short of breath for a while, stood up with great difficulty under the support of the steel long sword. The first thing he did when he stood up was to check whether the long sword in his hand could still support him to continue fighting .

"Why, the sword in your hand is not easy to use?" Gao Yuan smiled and returned what James said to himself before, "Would you like me to give you some time to change the sword again, I don't want to win disgraceful!"

When James raised the steel sword in his hand, the onlookers finally saw the gap on it clearly. It was a huge gap that almost crossed the middle line of the sword.Any warrior with some combat experience, when they saw this terrifying gap, knew that if James continued to fight with this sword, it would not be long before it would be broken in two.

Of course, the steel sword in Gao Yuan's hand was not unharmed. After all, the effect of force is mutual, and what he is holding in his hand at this time is not the indestructible Evening Star Blade.However, compared to the steel sword in James' hands, the small gap on the steel sword in his hand is nothing more than a small one.

"Jory, go get a new weapon for Sir James Lannister, the competition is temporarily suspended!" Duke Ed Stark called his captain of the guards, and signaled Gao Yuan and the others to suspend the competition.

"Seven gods! Gao Yuan, how did you cut the steel sword in the kingslayer's hand into that shape?" King Robert shouted excitedly, "Next time I hold a tournament, you must To come and participate, a martial arts tournament without you is like a female branch girl losing her naizi."

Faced with Robert's vulgar words, Gao Yuan just showed a bright smile at the king.

Soon someone sent James a new weapon, but this time it was not Ed's guard captain who handed him the steel sword, but James' younger brother Tyrion Lannister.He was also presented with, in addition to Jaime's own gilded sword, a set of white armor bearing the arms of House Lannister, which Jaime often wore in his duties as the Kingsguard.

However, James did not take over the armor from Tyrion, but chose to continue to fight Gao Yuan in Chinese clothes.In this case, Gao Yuan naturally has to show his chivalry.He took off the dragon scale battle armor he brought from Middle Earth, and only wore this leather armor made of dragon skin to fight against James.

When Robert saw Gao Yuan take off the dragon scale battle armor, revealing the dragon skin battle armor he was wearing inside, his eyes lit up.The leather armor that Gao Yuan was wearing at this moment confirmed his status as a dragon slayer even more.

As the owner of the Iron Throne, King Robert naturally saw the dragon skins left by the Targaryen family in the Dragon's Lair and on Dragonstone Island. He recognized the material of Gao Yuan's leather armor at a glance.

"Are you ready?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Let the horses come!"

James, who suffered a loss from Gao Yuan once, finally lost the arrogance and ease he had at the beginning of the competition. He also understood Gao Yuan's advantage in the battle.From the beginning to the end, what Gao Yuan has shown is that his strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.Especially the sword he was about to cut off the long sword in his hand just now, James felt as if he was wrestling with a mammoth.

James tightly held the gold-plated long sword in his hand. This time, he was going to launch a stormy attack on Gao Yuan at the beginning of the battle, and fight close to his body, so that Gao Yuan could not exert his strength A daunting natural power.

As soon as the attack started, James rushed towards Gao Yuan quickly. He quickly waved the gold-plated long sword in his hand, barely dodged and blocked Gao Yuan's powerful sword moves several times, and then entered Gao Yuan within the reach of the hand.

This hand-holding range is usually a restricted area for guys wielding huge and heavy weapons. When they face agile enemies, they will focus on guarding against those guys who try to enter their hand-holding range.Because once opponents wielding small arms and long swords come within their reach, it will be difficult for them to retract their weapons and elbows to defend against the opponent's attack.

But this time, James' plan might fail again.

What he saw in the first round of the competition was just what Gao Yuan deliberately showed in front of him.James thinks he has realized Gao Yuan's weakness, but he doesn't know that this is just a wrong perception that Gao Yuan guided him.Gao Yuan has never been a fighter who purely focuses on the outbreak of strength!
On the contrary, the elven swordsmanship and body skills he learned are usually known for their light and fast attacks, tricky attack angles, and swift stature.
