Volume 1 Forest Knight Chapter 78 Trial by Combat (6)
Amid the cheers of the audience, Balian raised his eyes and looked around, and finally saw the beautiful figure on the viewing platform. Jesses was leaning behind a pillar, with tears in his eyes, looking towards him with a happy smile.
he.
The two people looked at each other. In a brief moment, they understood each other's thoughts. Balian quickly moved his eyes elsewhere. At this time, it is enough to understand each other. There is no need to let others know, otherwise it will cause greater trouble.
trouble.
At this time, seeing that the victory or defeat had been decided, the Lord Bishop walked up slowly and announced to everyone: "With the witness of all of us, Sir Balian defeated Sir Sogg. This is the will of the God of Fire. It cannot be ruled out."
defy.
I declare that Sister Murat's heretical accusation is invalid, the suspicion of Lady Puli of the Earl's Palace being a witch has been removed, and the monks will lower this innocent girl from the stake and give her freedom."
After the Lord Bishop spoke, thunderous applause erupted from the scene. Amid everyone's applause, Balian walked to the scaffold and personally helped Puli untie the rope that hung her up. The weak Puli sat down limply after landing on the ground.
She fell to the ground, and two monks stepped forward to remove her handcuffs and shackles.
With tears in her eyes, Puli said to Balian with a choked voice: "Thank you, Ser Balian."
Balian helped her up and whispered to her: "If you want to thank me, just thank your lady. She asked me to come to rescue you. In order to help you, your lady has put a lot of thought into it. In the future,
Treat your young lady well."
Pu Li nodded seriously, "You and Miss are both my great benefactors. I will never forget your life-saving grace in my life."
"Okay, girl, go and have a rest quickly. You have suffered so much during this period, so go home and have a good rest." With that said, Balian helped Puli down from the execution platform. Puli's parents
Time is already waiting here.
After Puli's parents saw Balian, they both knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude to Balian. Balian quickly helped them both up, handed Puli into their hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, there is nothing like this.
The whole family will be happier when they are reunited. Take Puli home to recuperate, she has suffered a lot recently."
"Yeah." Puli's parents greeted Balian with tears in their eyes, and then helped their daughter leave the arena.
Balian looked at the backs of the three of them as they left, with a happy smile on his face. He turned around and returned to his seat, waiting for the instructions from Earl Grie and the Bishop.
After Balian returned to his position, he saw that Sister Murat was staring at him viciously. Her vicious gaze made him want to eat Balian alive. Moreover, after her perfect plan was shattered, she was extremely angry.
Angry, so angry that my whole body trembled.
Balian saw her trembling body, staring at him viciously, and stared back fiercely. Balian, who had just defeated a powerful enemy, looked at her with extremely firm and angry eyes, letting this person know that because of
The nun, who was guilty of framed others, panicked.
Justice is always more powerful than evil. Sister Murat was a priest in vain and only knew how to do some shameful things. Now she shot herself in the foot without saying anything, and even thought about killing people with her eyes. It is really ridiculous.
At this time, Earl Gerry took over from the bishop who announced the results and came to the podium in front of the auditorium. He looked at Balian with a very appreciative look, and then said: "Dear friends, the people of Yangwei Shuo Province
, we gathered here today to witness a wonderful trial by combat.
No one lost his life in today's trial by combat. This is the great God of Fire's compassion for his people.
The will of Vulcan cannot be violated. We have also followed his instructions and released the poor girl Puli. My Earl's Palace will provide one hundred dinars of nutrition to help her recover. In addition, she
Will continue to be my daughter's personal maid.
May the God of Fire bless her!"
As he spoke, Earl Gerry drew a triangle on his chest to show respect for the God of Vulcan. Seeing him do this, everyone on the auditorium and the spectators also did the same, praying to the God of Vulcan to bless Puli.
"In addition to witnessing the will of the God of Fire, we also witnessed the demeanor of a brave, kind, and upright young knight. Our Sir Balian is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a man who perfectly practices the knight's virtues. Let us
Cheer and shout for this great knight once again!" Count Gerry called to everyone.
"Ser Balian!"
"Ser Balian!"
"Ser Balian!"
…
For a moment, the cheers and shouts were loud. Although he had lived two lives, it was the first time for Bellion to experience such a scene of being called by his name by people with high emotions and adoring faces. To be honest, he was really embarrassed.
.
But at this moment, after a fierce fight, his face was covered with dirt mixed with sweat and dust, and no one could see that he was blushing.
While everyone was cheering and shouting for Balian enthusiastically, Sir Thorg, who had lost his right hand and left leg and fell to the ground, was already carried on a stretcher by his attendants.
After he was simply bandaged by his men, the blood on his right hand was temporarily gone. After losing too much blood, he looked pale and looked at Balian, who was admired by everyone, and gritted his teeth. That was the victory and glory that should have belonged to him.
, but was taken away by Balian.
His bloodshot eyes were about to spit out fire. He was unwilling to fail like this and became a crippled knight who lost his right hand and broke the bones of his left leg. Could he just lie in bed for the rest of his life?
?
Thinking of this, the painful Sir Sog closed his eyes and lay quietly on the stretcher, not looking at Balian who was enjoying the great honor.
After the cheers stopped, Earl Gerry announced: "In order to commend Sir Balian's chivalry and punish Sir Thorg's despicable behavior, I will take back his prize and championship honor as this year's Northern Knight Tourney and award it to
Ser Balian!"
After everyone heard Earl Gerry's decision, deafening cheers and applause broke out again. These onlookers now extremely hated Sir Sogg, whom they admired very much at the beginning.
This is just like the collapse of a star's house that Balian saw in his previous life. How much your fans love you and support you at the beginning, then when they find out that you are a person of poor conduct who is contrary to their ideal image of perfection.
After that, they will hate you so much and step on you.
Not only did he want to reward Balian, Earl Grie also announced the banquet. He said: "In addition, in order to commemorate this tournament, I will hold a grand banquet and dance in my mansion in two days.
I will introduce Sir Balian to the nobles who were unable to attend today's tourney, so that they can see the heroes born in our Yangweishuo tourney!"
After Earl Grie finished speaking, Balian bowed to him to express his gratitude amidst the cheers of the crowd.
It stands to reason that the banquet should be held tonight. The reason why it has been postponed for two days is because tomorrow and the next two days are holidays on Saturday and Sunday. On the holidays, the officials of all sizes in the city have to rest and spend time with them.
Family: Since we cannot hold this kind of entertainment event on Sunday, it would be considered disrespectful to the God of Fire, so we had to reschedule it to two days later.
For Balian, it's just right that Balian can use these two days to learn the dance steps. After all, he can't dance yet. He left his parents when he was a child and followed Sir Logan on duty at the Valombre palace. Although he has seen
There were many dances, but I always stayed aside as a guard, but I never skipped them.
Janis asked Balian to put on the clothes she made and dance together. Balian didn't dare to disappoint his sweetheart, but where could he find a good dance teacher?
Balian thought for a while and felt that he should turn to his only friend in Yang Weixuo who passed the exam, Ganmoji. Anyway, he had already troubled him many times and he didn't mind troublesome him again this time.
After waiting for the positions of the dignitaries including Earl Gri and the Bishop, Gamgee and Bran led their horses to Balian. Balian smiled and hugged them both, and they both also embraced Balian warmly.
After hugging him, Gamgee punched Balian on the chest and said with a smile: "You kid, you are so unreliable. You are so secretive about me as a friend. You clearly have a way to win the game, but you still pretend to be indifferent to death.
It looks like you have too many clever ideas."
"To be honest, before I went on the field, I wasn't sure whether I could beat him. I wasn't sure myself, so how could I tell you? Besides, if a good idea is spoken before it works, it might not work.
.
Brother Gamgee, if you are angry with me because of this matter, it will not be enough for the friendship between you and me." Balian responded to Gamgee with a smile.
"Sir, Mr. Gamgee, there is no need for you two to say these words here. Look, if we don't leave, these people watching the excitement can't leave either." As he said that, Brannu pursed his lips to remind them.
Only after the people in the stands took their stand did the guards let them go.
This is because at the previous tournament, there had been a stampede by crazy onlookers, and the champion knight of the tournament died unexpectedly. From now on, Yang Weixuo's tournaments will basically be like this, and today's trial by combat will also be based on this.
People in the Middle Ages were very ignorant. They were superstitious and stubbornly believed that if they touched the champion of the competition or took away some of his belongings, they could share the blessing of the God of Fire. Moreover, this blessing was better than the triangle given by the priest in the church.
The rack is much more useful.
Therefore, although the guards were suppressing them, some crazy people were already trying to climb over the railings and rush towards Balian. This posture was really scary. Balian quickly mounted his horse and left the arena with Gamgee and Bran.
Balian didn't want to be the second person who was squeezed to death because the audience was too enthusiastic and wanted to touch him to share their good luck. That would be really tragic.
The group of three people hurried to their residence. At this time, since most people were locked up in the competition arena, there were very few people on the streets, so there was no problem for them to gallop.
This was the first time that Balian had ridden a fast horse on the streets of such a big city since he was a child. In addition, he had just won the competition, so he was very excited. Along the way, he showed off his not-so-excellent riding skills.
, to Gamgee and Bran.
What about passing a horse-drawn carriage on a curve, or donating a donkey-cart on a street corner, etc., I was very arrogant. Fortunately, there are no administrative personnel in charge of traffic in this era. Otherwise, Bellion may not only be deducted points, but his driver's license may also be re-issued.
However, there is no need to take a driver's license test when riding a horse.
Seeing Balian who was as excited as a fool, Bran was frightened. He thought that his master had been knocked unconscious by a lance in the competition just now, and he immediately wanted to ride on his horse to stop Balian.
Ganji stopped him and explained to him: "There is nothing wrong with him, let him go crazy for a while. He has been under a lot of pressure in the past few days and needs to be relieved.
Think about it, if it were you, risking the life of an innocent girl with your own, and going into a competition with almost no hope of winning, would you feel less stressed?"
Bran shook his head and replied: "I may not be able to sleep all night, but my master has slept well these days."
"Hahaha, at Balian's age, it's good to have such a mentality, but he is suppressing it temporarily. He knows that only if he is not nervous can he win. This is a quality only those who achieve great things have." Gan
