Soon a short figure walked in from the door of the hall. He was wearing chain mail and knight's half-armor, with a helmet on his head. The sword in his hand was still dripping with blood. It was obvious that he had just slashed someone. Behind him
, and some guards followed him timidly, not daring to step forward.
There is nothing these guards can do. Today is New Year's Eve. According to tradition, this day may be the most peaceful day of the year for the Celtics. Even the duel between knights will be moved to the next day, so the defense of the palace is not
Tightly, many guards went home for the holidays to celebrate New Year's Eve.
There were not many guards left on duty in the palace. In addition, this man dressed as a knight was really fast in his attacks. Every sword attack was bound to hurt someone. Those soldiers who blocked him were cut down before they had time to make a move.
There are few people and we can't defeat them. How can we not be afraid of the guards?
The man completely ignored the unkind glances in front of him and behind him, and swaggered towards where the king was sitting. Kai and Arthur stood up immediately. The difference was that Kai's eyes were calm and his face was expressionless, while Arthur's face was expressionless.
He showed a fierce look and looked at the person approaching with an evil look in his eyes.
When the man saw Arthur and Kai's obstruction, he didn't move forward. Instead, he took off his iron gloves and threw them in front of Arthur.
Everyone in the hall was stunned. What was going on? He went to the palace on New Year's Eve, first beheaded people, and then adjusted the crown prince? This is crazy.
Now even Kai's face didn't look good. Today was originally a good day, but it was messed up like this. As a Chinese, we always attach great importance to this kind of reunion festival. In China, even the most ignorant people know that
, Don’t get involved in right and wrong during the New Year. No matter how big the hatred is, you must endure it on the New Year’s Day.
Arthur couldn't bear it anymore. Damn it, who are you slapping in the face?
So when I saw the iron gloves at my feet, I didn't hesitate at all. I bent down to pick them up. But as soon as I bent down, Kai stopped me.
"Give me a reason, a reason for you to live. Otherwise, I don't mind hanging your head on the city gate on New Year's Eve." This guy is obviously here for Arthur, and Kai is not stupid.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to succeed. Besides, with the way this man acted just now, if Kai drew his sword and chopped him down, no one would say anything.
The man turned to look at Kai, took off his helmet without saying anything.
The moment the helmet was taken off, a head of beautiful blond hair spread out like a waterfall. This blond hair was so beautiful that it actually shone under the candlelight. When the man raised his head, everyone
They all took a breath of air.
It's not because he looks scary, on the contrary, she is extremely beautiful!
Yes, it's her!
A woman!
This woman is very beautiful, with big eyes and dark brown pupils. Although her facial lines are not so soft, this does not affect her beauty. On the contrary, it gives her a heroic spirit that is rare for women.
Seeing this woman, Kai's heart skipped a beat. Her appearance reminded Kai of someone who should no longer be alive. Others who had the same feeling as Kai were King Uther and Gaius. King Uther looked towards
He called Gaius and wanted to get an answer from him. But Gaius was still in shock and did not respond to King Uther at all.
However, Morgana was not as shocked as they were. She just felt that this woman gave her a feeling of intimacy, as if she had seen her before.
"Are you afraid of a woman?" the woman said, and finally she looked at Arthur. The meaning was obvious.
"I accept your challenge!"
"No! Arthur!"
Before Kay could stop him, Arthur accepted the challenge. What this woman did was very simple and clumsy, but the problem was that Arthur couldn't be indifferent, otherwise everyone would know the next day that their prince was actually afraid of a woman's challenge. Here.
In a society where women are inferior to men, this kind of accusation is absolutely fatal and is more likely to stay with Arthur for the rest of his life.
"I must accept the challenge!" Arthur said to Kai very seriously, and then bent down resolutely to pick up the woman's iron glove. "Since I am about to duel with you, please tell me your true identity."
"My name is Morgause!" the woman said, "see you at noon tomorrow!"
After saying that, the woman didn't care about anyone else and turned around and left.
…
Morgause's challenge shocked everyone, and at the same time they felt very complicated. In this country of knights, no woman would ever challenge a knight. And it was also considered a dishonorable act for a knight to fight a woman.
Among the people present at the time, some felt that it was too childish for Arthur to accept the challenge, while others felt that since someone had issued a challenge, he must accept it, and the woman had good skills. Why couldn't he initiate a challenge? Could it be that the prince should avoid a woman?
Not fighting? That would be much more embarrassing than accepting the challenge.
In short, no one can convince anyone.
As for the royal family, the controversy is even greater.
Neither King Uther nor Kai wanted Arthur to accept the challenge, but the problem is that in the knight code, only if the challenge is accepted, it must be implemented. It has never been said that women are not allowed to challenge. At least there is no such thing in the records of the bachelor in the past three hundred years.
Seeing similar incidents, Arthur disagreed to cancel the challenge.
On the contrary, he felt that the attitude of King Uther and Kai was too strange. They actually asked him to avoid a woman! This was so ridiculous! He felt that the two of them just treated him as a child and did not trust him at all. They did not even believe that he could fight.
win over a woman.
In the end, the three broke up unhappy, and Arthur left angrily, saying that the duel would definitely take place.
Kai and King Uther looked at each other.
"Although I don't want to say it, but... I always have a bad feeling." Kai said helplessly.
King Uther did not speak. He could understand Kai's feelings because his premonition was stronger. Although he was not sure whether his previous worries were correct, but... in short, he had nothing to do now, unless he completely ignored Camelot's
To save face, now secretly kill Morgause.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, this woman was too smart. She stayed in the palace instead of leaving. King Uther even had to arrange a place for her. As long as she was there
In the palace, King Uther not only cannot harm her, but also arranges personnel to protect her. Don't let anything go wrong, otherwise Camelot's face will be completely ruined.
…
The next day, the duel was held as scheduled. The aftermath of the knights' meeting had not yet passed, and now Arthur accepted the challenge again, and it was a challenge from a woman. People in the city had seen this kind of thing, so the duel venue was much better than that day.
The finals are even more exciting.
It's a pity that such a lively duel ended up in a mess.
Arthur lost.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. That woman's martial arts was very good. This was indisputable. But to say that she was really better than Arthur would be a shame. Arthur's martial arts had been fully demonstrated at the Knights Conference.
.As the knight closest to the title of Champion Knight after Kay, Arthur's ability has been recognized by the vast majority of people.
But Arthur still lost.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Arthur had many concerns and was not decisive enough in his moves. During the duel, Arthur knocked down Morgause's sword three times! But every time Morgause refused to admit defeat. Arthur was forced to follow the spirit of chivalry.
, she can only be allowed to pick up the sword and fight again.
Her swordsmanship was similar to that of Gawain. She took a nimble route and her moves were weird. If it wasn't for her strength, Arthur might not have been able to knock off the long sword in her hand so easily. In the end, she caught Arthur.
He hesitated and put the sword against Arthur's chest.
She made a deal with Arthur using his life. She made Arthur swear to accept a challenge from her in three days. Any challenge, as long as he completes the challenge, then Arthur will complete the oath.
Arthur could only agree to the challenge by swearing on his own name.
This decision made King Uther furious. King Uther thought that Morgause had other motives, but Arthur didn't believe it, because if that woman really wanted his life, she could take his life openly in the duel field.
In short, Arthur ignored the persuasion of King Uther and Kai and insisted on fulfilling his oath.
