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

Chapter 202 Canonized Knight
Jaime's tactics were simple and brilliant, at least in the eyes of those who watched the battle.This tactic is simple because many knights with rich combat experience will choose to do it after Gao Yuan has demonstrated his amazing strength and before he has shown his agility.

Although this is a very simple tactic, when different people use it against different opponents, the final results are often different.

Normally, when James used this tactic to deal with those big enemies, he would still keep a certain safe distance from them. After all, in the competition of swordsmanship, the enemy can use many means, not limited to the long sword in hand.

If the two are too close, if the other party pulls out a dagger or stretches out his hand to pinch his neck, he will easily put himself in danger.

But James did not choose to do this in this contest with Gao Yuan.Instead, he chose to fight Gao Yuan almost completely close to his body, and the closest distance between the two was less than a punch, which greatly limited Gao Yuan's range of action and body turning.

The reason why James dared to get so close to Gao Yuan was also related to the nature of this contest.He expected that Gao Yuan would not kill himself in this battle, and Gao Yuan only had a long steel sword in his hand, so it was impossible to suddenly pull out a dagger from somewhere.Even if he chokes his own neck, James can still break free from the other party's control at the risk of injury. This is what James is brilliant about.

In the eyes of the guests who watched the battle, if nothing else happened, after James entered Gao Yuan's hand-holding range.Gao Yuan, whose arm's movement space and attack methods are restricted, will fall into a hard fight against James' stormy attack methods, and will soon fall into a disadvantage until he loses.

In the initial stage of the battle, as the guests had expected, Gao Yuan's attacks were constantly restrained by James who was within his reach. Gao Yuan was often caught by James' shoulder while waving his weapon. Or the elbow is blocked back.

Even after James got within the reach of his hand, as he kept dodging, the sword in Gao Yuan's hand couldn't reach the corner of the opponent's clothes at all.

But even so, Gao Yuan's current situation is not as dire as James and others expected.If it was another opponent, he might have become a little impatient or flustered because he couldn't attack for a long time.

However, Gao Yuan, who seemed to be in a hard fight, did not show any signs of panic in the face of James' stormy attack, but seemed to be a little bit at ease.

No matter how tricky James' attack angle is, he will always be easily blocked by Gao Yuan.

"You seem to be very good at this kind of personal attack."

Gao Yuan's gentle voice sounded in James' ears, which shocked James a little.

You must know that they had fought dozens of rounds at this time, and even James himself, who boasted of his excellent physical strength, was already a little out of breath at this time, but Gao Yuan acted as relaxed as if he was walking in a garden.

Is his strength still reserved?

A trace of doubt was startled in the kingslayer's mind, and a bad premonition rushed to his heart in an instant, which also caused the adrenaline in his body to start to secrete rapidly, flowing all over his limbs and bones in an instant.

James' body began to tremble uncontrollably, which was a natural reaction of the body under the action of adrenaline.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had experienced this feeling of strength all over his body, and he felt his blood start to boil.

The kingslayer's attack became more and more sharp when he was in a state of excitement. Not only did the attack frequency increase, but when the weapons between the two collided, Gao Yuan felt that the power from the kingslayer's weapon had also increased by at least two times. become.

But all of this is in vain, Gao Yuan has decided to end this battle, so what if the kingslayer explodes, can he compare to himself with the blessing of [Dragon Heart] in terms of strength? In terms of speed and attack speed, can he keep up with his own footsteps using elven swordsmanship?

The answer is yes.

Soon he will taste the taste of despair, because Gao Yuan has already started to fight back.Facing the stormy attack of the Kingslayer, Gao Yuan just raised his hand, forcing the opponent's attack to stop.

The fine steel long sword, which was already full of gaps, just blocked the gold-plated long sword in James' hand.James knew that he couldn't compete with Gao Yuan in terms of strength, so he immediately prepared to draw the weapon with his backhand, but was stuck by the stainless steel long sword guard in Gao Yuan's hand, no matter how hard James tried, he couldn't pull it away from it.

Gao Yuan kicked James flying out again with the same trick. After rolling several times, James finally got up from the ground, followed by a thunderous counterattack from Gao Yuan.

If James' attack on Gao Yuan just now was like a violent storm; then Gao Yuan's counterattack was like a thunderstorm in midsummer.

In the eyes of the guests watching the battle, Gao Yuan's figure was like a ghost in the dark, flashing past James from time to time, and no one could guess where he would appear in the next moment.The fine steel long sword in Gao Yuan's hand left blurred afterimages in the void. When you see the afterimages appearing on James' side, the real long sword has actually come to James' other side. side.

This is the scene seen by the guests who are outsiders, let alone the Kingslayer in the center of the battle.In his field of vision, Gao Yuan seemed to be like a lightning bolt surrounding him, and the fine steel long sword in his hand disappeared into the void, only when the reflected candlelight shone on James' face, he Only then can I be sure that it has not really disappeared.

The blade of the fine steel long sword slapped the kingslayer's vital points one after another, such as knees, abdomen, and wrists. Whenever pain came from all parts of the body, James had to clench his teeth tightly. , Trying not to make a sound.

If Gao Yuan attacked all parts of his body instead of the blade of the sword, he would have been torn into pieces by Gao Yuan at this moment.

The feeling of being "military trained" by Gao Yuan is extremely painful. This pain is not only from physical pain, but also the dignity of the kingslayer as a knight, as if Gao Yuan trampled on the soil repeatedly.

At this moment, James would rather Gao Yuan kill himself in this contest than continue to bear this humiliation.

James Lannister, who endured silently, knelt on the ground in despair and powerlessness. The gilded long sword in his hand had long since fallen aside due to the sharp pain from his wrist.

Gao Yuan is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't accept what is good. After all, the purpose of his contest with James today is not to humiliate or kill the other party, and there is no deep hatred between the two that cannot be solved.

So after James gave up resisting, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and just put the gapped steel long sword across his shoulder.

"you lose!"

Gao Yuan's breath is still very calm, not at all like he has just experienced a big battle.

A plain "You lost!", like a thunderbolt, exploded in James Lannister's heart. With a confused face, he slowly raised his head and looked at the tall figure standing in front of him.

"you win"

Seeing that James had conceded, Gao Yuan moved away the steel long sword on his shoulder, smiled and stretched out his hand towards James.

Facing Gao Yuan's friendly right hand, James hesitated for a while and finally raised his weak right hand, allowing it to pull him up from the ground.

"Clap clap."

"Dragon Slayer. Dragon Slayer."

"Jaime Lannister. Lannister"

"clap clap"

This was a very exciting contest. After Gao Yuan and his friendly hands raised Jaime Lannister from the ground, the guests who watched this wonderful contest began to applaud the two sides of the contest. They have never been stingy with their applause.

"Your swordsmanship is really good! It's hard to find a strong opponent like you in Westeros." James praised sincerely, "No wonder Lord Stark hired you to be his family's swordsmanship teacher."

"You are not bad, there are not many people who can push me to this point!" Facing the praise from James, Gao Yuan had no choice but to exchange business with him.

James couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then whispered in Gao Yuan's ear with a serious expression: "I know that your strength is still reserved, but one day I will surpass you!"

Gao Yuan took a very unexpected look at James, who was standing in front of him with high spirits. Gao Yuan just responded to his provocation with a bright smile. He didn't want to hurt the opponent's self-confidence.

"The king will hold a grand tourney to celebrate Lord Stark's going to King's Landing as prime minister. Will you go to it?" James asked, "I hope you can go to it. You spar."

"Maybe, if I'm in King's Landing by then, I'll consider it." Gao Yuan didn't directly agree to James' invitation.

"James!" King Robert, who had just enjoyed a wonderful contest, looked very excited. This time, for the first time, he didn't call James a kingslayer. "It's time for you to fulfill your promise."

At this time, Eddard Stark stood up and told King Robert: "There is a church outside the hall."

"That's really too troublesome. Do I have to wait for our dragon slayer to return from vigil in the sanctuary before he can be canonized?" King Robert interrupted Ed's speech impatiently, "Everything Keep it simple!"

"It's not like there is no such precedent among the Seven Kingdoms. I can't wait to see that our dragon slayer, as a knight, presents the sword that once killed the dragon in front of me."

King Robert's words made Gao Yuan who was standing next to James a little dumbfounded. It turned out that he made James canonize himself as a knight, in fact, so that he could participate in tomorrow's hunting activities, and then take a look at his Evening Star Blade.

Although it cannot be ruled out that Robert Baratheon did appreciate himself, but Gao Yuan can be sure that the king must have chosen to do this on a whim.

"But."

Ed wanted to say something more, but King Robert just waved his hand, stopping him from continuing.

"Let's start the ceremony!" With a big wave of his hand, Robert directly announced the start of Gao Yuan's conferment ceremony.

James nodded after receiving King Robert's order, picked up the gold-plated long sword he had dropped in the battle just now from the ground, and then solemnly walked in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan did not hesitate, and immediately prepared to kneel down on one knee to accept the canonization from James, but before he knelt down, James pulled him up: "You have already defeated me in the contest just now, as the contestant When the winner accepts the conferment from the loser, he does not need to kneel down to the conferee."

Now that James said so, Gao Yuan stood in front of James calmly and accepted his canonization.

"Great Dragon Slayer from Essos across the Channel, I grant you knighthood in the name of Ser Jaime Lannister, eldest son of the Lannister family of Casterly Rock, and Kingsguard, Guardian of the Realm."

James Lannister raised the gold-plated long sword in his hand, put it on Gao Yuan's right shoulder and continued:
"In the name of a warrior I ask you to be brave."

After reading the name of the warrior, James put the long sword in his hand on Gao Yuan's left shoulder:

"In the name of the Father I demand justice from you."

Return to the right shoulder again and continue to read:

"In the name of Our Lady I ask you to protect the weak and the innocent."

After reading the name of the Virgin, James finally put the long sword on Gao Yuan's left shoulder:
"In the name of girls I ask you to protect all women."

When the ceremony was over, James took back the gilded sword and stood in front of him and said, "The ceremony is over, Sir Gao Yuan! Now you have become a true knight, I hope you will not fall into the canonization in the future." Your knight Jaime Lannister, and your own name as a knight, firmly abide by and practice the knightly honor that the Seven Gods set for you today."

The guests attending the dinner tonight are all quietly looking at the two people who are performing the ceremony. They are all witnesses to this sacred canonization ceremony.

The most skilled and valiant knight, the victor of a joust, stands before his defeated Kingsguard, Jaime Lannister, to receive his canonization.Gao Yuan's bravery and James' generosity will be spread throughout Westeros. The story of what happened in Winterfell today will be sung and relished by all those who yearn for or have become knights road.

Many vassals, nobles, knights and their attendants of King Robert I witnessed with their own eyes that this holy knight canonization ceremony was held. After the ceremony, there will be another knight in the Seven Kingdoms again. Lin Tiewei.

Sansa Stark and other noble girls in Winterfell cast fiery eyes on him, the newly born knight, even the young Myrcella Baratheon .

With the end of the canonization ceremony, the servants of Winterfell moved the long table full of barbecue and bread back to the center of the hall.The warm atmosphere seemed like a raging fire, rekindled in King Robert's loud roar, until it spread to every corner of the castle.

Gao Yuan, who has now become a noble knight and won the title of knight, originally wanted to return to the group of illegitimate children and knight attendants.But Gao Yuan, who had suddenly become a nobleman, seemed to have become the protagonist of this dinner at this moment. Many nobles and knights who wanted to get acquainted with Gao Yuan came forward with wine glasses, and surrounded him tightly.

　Calvin, whom I haven't met for a long time, tasted it again today. It was really painful, and I only wrote [-] words in a few hours.

　　And when it comes to refinement later, no matter where you look, you will feel uncomfortable.

　　It has now been refined.
