The King of Knights

“The land of knights. What a good country. Now it’s completely different, and you can’t see what it was a few years ago. Geralt took another drink, and he said softly.

Now he can probably understand what people here think of him.

“Of course! Everything comes from our great King. Two years ago, the country was facing a three-sided invasion, and many thought Britain was going to die. It was the King who saved it and brought it to life. ”

Geralt could hear the little brother’s uttering reverence for the king, not because of strength, but because of something other than power that was recognized. Thinking of this, Geralt suddenly became a little curious.

“Have you ever wanted to be a knight?”

“I thought about it, but the reality after that taught me to be a human again, and with my small body, I can’t become a knight at all. However, the king once said to us, ‘Everyone has his own path, and there is a path where he can develop his talents.’ I think life is already very good now. You may not imagine that two years ago, I spent most of my time worrying about whether I would starve to death tomorrow. ”

“People make the most of their resources, and they make the most of their materials?”

“I don’t really understand the meaning of this sentence, but I heard the bachelors who drink here say that it seems to mean that everyone tries their best to use their own abilities.”

After hearing these words, Geralt felt more and more that the country had completely changed. Completely different from neighboring France. Originally, both countries were famous for their knights, but now they are going in completely different directions. France still has everything from the past, but Britain has gradually taken on the appearance of a true country of knights.

“Along the way, I’ve found that there are fewer fights in this country.” Geralt continued to drink and make small talk.

Previously, because of his identity as a demon hunter, he didn’t even have a person to speak. Most of the time you can only talk to your own horse. Now that I finally find that I have misunderstood, I am ready to talk more.

“We have a saying circulating here, there is no quarrel that cannot be solved by playing a game of Quint cards, and if there is, then go to the duel arena.”

“So that card game came from the country of knights? But what is the duel arena? A gladiatorial arena in Rome? Geralt was a little surprised. He actually plays with this stuff too.

Speaking of Quint cards, it was something Lucifer made when he was bored based on the game he remembered before. It was originally to give the soldiers time to pass the time during the break, so that their energy would not be released.

The result unexpectedly spread to the outside world, and then merchants began to produce various Quint cards and developed them throughout the country and even other countries.

“No, no, no, no! Our sacred duel arena is not something as barbaric as the gladiatorial arena. Wang did not like the private fights of the people, which he said would cause trouble for other unrelated people. But he also respects the country’s long-standing traditions, so there is an officially designated duel arena. Duels between knights in the past can now be resolved in the duel arena. And notaries. ”

Regarding the duel, Lucifer actually thought of many ways. Originally, he wanted to completely prohibit private fights with Xueshangjun, but after thinking about it, duels are a tradition in this country. Sometimes instead of destroying tradition, perhaps try to respect tradition.

So, Lucifer personally founded the Duel Arena. And use the decree to stipulate that if you want to duel, it’s okay, but you have to go to the duel arena to duel, otherwise you will go to prison for breaking the law. First, while respecting tradition, new activities have been extended. Although the Duel Arena brings Lucifer a lot of income every year, it is not bad money.

“Sounds like encouraging dueling?”

“I’m not done yet. Duel Arena is chargeable, ranging from the Bronze Field to the Gold Field, with prices ranging from one gold coin to ten gold coins. ”

“So expensive! Does anyone comply? ”

“Of course there is. At first many people thought it was a problem, but the king said, ‘If in your hearts the holy duel that is enough to gamble your life is not worth even a single gold coin, then your glory is really cheap enough.’ It turns out that with a duel arena, duels become less frequent. Because most of the hot-blooded guys heard that they were going to pay money, he felt that it was better to spend money on wine than to go to a duel. Yes, just like the pair over there. As he spoke, Jeni pointed to a table of drunkards on the other side of the store.

At the edge of the tavern, two drunkards, probably having drunk, began to pat each other’s tables.

“I’ve put up with you for a long time, I’m going to duel with you.” The man on the left roared with a flushed face.

“Okay! I have also put up with you for a long time, walking to the duel arena. Today you either die or I live. The man on the right yelled back.

Hearing their words, the young man at the table next to him couldn’t help but ridicule.

“Hey, the duel arena has to be paid, do you have a gold coin.”

“What! One gold coin! ”

“So expensive!”

“It’s still one for one.”

“……”

“……”

They looked at each other and touched their pockets again. Go to a duel once, and their month’s salary may be gone. As soon as they thought of this, their brains suddenly became clear.

“I think we’d better go to the bar.” The man on the left sat down and suggested.

“Yes, yes, I suddenly felt the same way. Duels or something is a complete waste of money, it is better to use it to buy wine. Come, just big brother I’m not right, I’ll treat you to a drink. ”

“No, no, no! It’s me who is wrong, I came to invite you. ”

“Why don’t we invite each other?”

“Great idea! Go, go and drink something good. Bartender, two glasses of white horse wine. We also need to experience General Gawain’s choice. ”

“Yes! Here it comes! ”

After delivering the wine, Jeni returned to the counter, and Geralt did not leave. But he has fallen into a life of deep doubt.

“……”

Say yes to the duel! You just yelled loudly, but it turned out like this. He almost thought he was watching some kind of play.

“See! I don’t know how many times a day this happens. Jeni said with a smile.

“I suddenly understand why your king is holding a duel arena. Because most people who want to duel are like such drunk guys, they will be sober when it comes to money. ”

The average bored person wakes up at the mention of money, and those who really want to duel will not care about the money. The line of a gold coin has demarcated the crowd, and it has dissolved many possible conflicts invisibly.

Thinking of this, Geralt suddenly felt that the king of Britain was a very stake king.

“I don’t know. I’d love to see this anyway. I said, you demon hunters usually fight monsters all the time, have you heard any interesting anecdotes? ”

“I’ve just arrived in the city, and I’ve been chasing a vampire before.”

“Vampire! Come! Tell me that those vampires are really like the legend. ”

“This…” _
