Many people even pushing unable to push. 小小的海滨小城,平日里也没什么娱乐活动,忽然出了这么一件事,可谓是万人空巷了。许多人甚至连挤都挤不进来。 Naturally, Gray belongs is quite lucky, he pushed, although skeletal horse Tenedos has not pushed. 当然,格雷属于比较幸运的,他挤进来了,虽然骨马特内达斯并没有挤进来。 „On stage that two are the feudal lords?” “台上那两个就是领主吗？” „Yes.” “是的。” „Well, that small fellow, where has seen probably.” “咦,那个小个子,好像在哪里见过。” „Small fellow?

Didn't have skeletal horse you to be victorious they? I feared that you were hit by the shield break! These may be the earnest knights, is not the local ruffian!” “天哪,你没看他们即将比武吗？没了骨马你能打得过他们？我怕你被盾牌一撞就散架了！这些可都是正儿八经的骑士,不是地痞流氓！” „I will not be hit to break!” Gray said categorically. “我不会被撞散架的！”格雷斩钉截铁地说。 , Paz discovered Gray by far, Eirene on stage also discovered existence of Gray. Naturally, the main reason definitely is board armor that Gray puts on does not beam with joy stands in the crowd is exceptionally conspicuous. 远远地,帕斯发现格雷了,台上的依琳也发现了格雷的存在。当然,最主要的原因肯定是格雷穿着不露脸的板甲站在人群中异常显眼。 Paz has started to wave toward Gray, Gray also waves toward him. 帕斯已经开始朝着格雷挥手了,格雷也朝着他挥了挥手。 Confessed with about, the Paz half step arrived at the railing, builds single-handedly on the Gray shoulder. 跟左右交代了一声,帕斯快步走到了围栏边,一手搭在格雷肩上。 „Are you look my? We are just about to contend in martial arts, turn head chatted again.” “你是来找我的吗？我们正要比武,回头再聊。” „Can I join you?” Gray asked straightforwardly. “我可以加入你们吗？”格雷直截了当地问道。 Paz gawked, some little time responded: „Ok, but must wait a while.” 帕斯愣了一下,好一会才反应过来:“可以,不过得等一会。” „Can't the present?” Gray also asked. “不能现在吗？”格雷又问。 Has turned head, Paz stands toward the distant place in Eirene Abby Roberts shouts: „A person, Ok?” 扭过头,帕斯朝着远处站在依琳身边的艾比罗伯斯喊道:“还有一个人,可以吗？” Abby Roberts is smiling nod. 艾比罗伯斯微笑着点了点头。 „Ok!” Paz said to Gray hastily. “可以！”帕斯连忙对格雷说。 Held the helmet, Gray is bridging over the low railing to step onto the sand that middle berth came out. 扶着头盔,格雷跨过了低矮的围栏走上了正中铺出来的沙地。 „Isn't that we just arrived yesterday has seen the knight? Also kept off our road. Did he also come?” Eirene asked Abby Roberts. “那不是我们昨天刚到的时候见过的骑士吗？还挡了我们的路。他也来了？”依琳问艾比罗伯斯。 „Looking at the armor should be he, possibly is in itself the mercenary regiment person. Today passes, the mercenary regiment leader had said that they have several people to carry out other tasks, without means. Possibly the duty was just accomplished.” “看盔甲应该是他,可能本身就是佣兵团的人吧。今天过去的时候,佣兵团的头领说过他们有几个人在执行其他任务,没办法来。可能任务刚好完成了。” „What duty, did the cat awake finally?” Eirene teased low voice: „Casual, that feeling of heaviness in the limbs armor, making opposite party tired perspiration also good.” “什么任务,猫终于睡醒了吗？”依琳小声调侃道:“随便吧,就那身重甲,让对方累一身汗也好。” Shot a look at Eirene one with the split vision quietly, Count Caspar looks to one side oneself steward, jokes: „Unexpectedly ran to look for red scorpion mercenary regiment that group of local ruffians . No wonder Becher will decline. All right, by her. Finds a person not to relate again. Now loses from now on is sincerely convinced, wins will cause trouble.” 用余光悄悄瞥了依琳一眼,卡斯帕伯爵望向一旁自己的管家,讥笑道:“居然跑去找了红蝎子佣兵团那帮地痞流氓,呵。难怪贝希尔家会没落。没事,由着她。再多找点人也没关系。现在输得心服口服,胜于过后生事。” The master of ceremonies of martial arts contest puts on center a wide gown stride trend, vertical stroked the scroll, read out loudly: „This martial arts contest, jointly is held by the Caspar family and Becher family......” 比武的司仪穿着一身宽袍子大步走向正中,垂直捋开了卷轴,高声宣读道:“本次比武,由卡斯帕家族与贝希尔家族共同举办……” Under stage quiet, the people that the knight mercenaries who attend the martial arts contest, as well as surround calmly are listening respectfully. 台下静悄悄的,参加比武的骑士佣兵们,以及围观的民众们都静静地聆听着。 „Competition is divided into the step to fight with the horse war, adopts the fight in which several people take turns fighting one person so as to wear the opponent out pattern.

If the Caspar family loses, then the Caspar family must take an oath to give loyalty to Miss Eirene, pledged to take orders in Miss Eirene, even if declared war to the heaven, even if drained away the last drop of blood. If the Becher family loses, then Eirene. Berbera. Becher will accept Count's Caspar son, Charlie. Proposing of Caspar! And holds the wedding at a later date! Now invited both sides acknowledge the agreement and contest rule!” “如此不断反复,直到其中一方所有人员均被淘汰,则该方全局判负！若卡斯帕家族负,则卡斯帕家族必须对依琳小姐宣誓效忠,承诺听命于依琳小姐,哪怕对天堂宣战,哪怕流尽最后一滴血。若贝希尔家族负,则依琳。贝贝拉。贝希尔将接受卡斯帕伯爵之子,查理。卡斯帕的求婚！并择日举行婚礼！现在有请双方确认协议和比赛规则！” Then, the master of ceremonies closed the scroll. 说完,司仪合上了卷轴。 In the square, watched the fun not to dislike the matter big people to burst into the earth-shaking cheers immediately. 广场上,看热闹不嫌事大的民众们顿时爆发出了惊天动地的欢呼声。 „Martial arts contest, the blood...... wants in any case class/flow is not own blood, class/flow whose and what relations has?” Helpless Paz sighed. “比武,鲜血……反正只要流的不是自己的血,流谁的又有什么关系呢？”帕斯无奈叹了口气。 The masters put out a exactly the same sheepskin scroll, delivers to front of Count Caspar and Eirene in turn, making them sign, covers own official seal respectively. 司仪又拿出一份一模一样的羊皮卷轴,依次送到卡斯帕伯爵和依琳面前,让他们签字,分别盖上自己的印信。 Has turned around, he lifts up high two sheepskin scrolls to shout loudly said: „Martial arts contest starts!” 转过身,他高举着两份羊皮卷轴高声呼喊道:“比武开始！” This time, the cheers were warmer, pushed in the person to city wall even to start to scatter the flower. Does this martial arts contest for what, who care? They wait to look that a splendid martial arts contest tranquil adds a color to the dull life. 这一次,欢呼声更加热烈了,挤到城墙上的人甚至都开始撒起了花。这场比武为了什么,谁在乎呢？他们只是等着看一场精彩的比武给平静到乏味的生活增添一丝色彩罢了。 „How under your horse wrestles?” Paz leans the face to ask. “你马下格斗怎么样？”帕斯侧过脸问。 „Has not tried.” Gray replied truthfully. “没试过。”格雷如实回答。 „Under horse wrestles has not tried?” Paz was startled. “马下格斗没试过？”帕斯都惊了。 „Right.” “对。” „Good, this may really be a good news, hopes that one will choose with the person who you compare competes with immediately. If competes with immediately, I even believe that you can a person do to turn them to be complete, if your physical strength enough. Right, your horse?” “好吧,这可真是个好消息,希望一会跟你比的人选择马上比试吧。如果是马上比试的话,我甚至相信你能一个人干翻他们全部,如果你体力够的话。对了,你的马呢？” „In outside, has not pushed.” “在外面,没挤进来。” Paz drew on a Eirene aide conveniently, making him accompany Gray to go skeletal horse to pull. 帕斯随手招来了依琳的一个侍从,让他陪着格雷去把骨马牵进来。 ...... …… The competition started. 比赛开始了。 The first game, competes with immediately.

This is the headache issue. 已经牵着马回到场中的格雷默默地看着,开始思考万一遇到步战怎么办了。这可是个头疼的问题。 The fifth game , to continue to win streak, the ponytail knights relied on the clever sword technique to solve opposite both hands sword soldier of sending out after the fierce battle. 第五局,继续连胜,马尾骑士在酣战之后凭借灵巧的剑术解决了对面派出的双手剑战士。 In the square the cheers surge wave upon wave. 广场上欢呼声一浪高过一浪。 „Who is this person?” The being in love young girls have started to inquire the given name of this brave knight. “这人是谁？”怀春少女们已经开始询问这个骁勇骑士的名讳了。 „Mike. Barak. Heard that is a Baron! Unmarried! More news need to pay money!” Traded the black heart merchant of hearsay to deliver the information promptly. “麦克。巴拉克。听说是个男爵！未婚！更多的消息就需要付钱了！”贩卖小道消息的黑心商人及时送上了情报。 „!” “哇！” In the cheers, welcomed the sixth game.

In turn an opposite party hammer has swept layer on layer/heavily, Mike entire had flown, falls seven meat eight elements, even the railing smashed. If not person who surrounds pushed him, has been out-of-bounds probably. 巨锤,重甲,麦克连刺十几剑,虽说也刺中了几剑,却只是擦破了皮没有刺中要害,连对方的动作都无法迟滞。反过来对方一锤重重扫过,麦克已经整个飞了出去,摔得七荤八素,甚至连围栏都砸烂了。如果不是围观的人把他推了回来,大概已经出界了吧。 Crawled to look at Eirene one from the ground difficultly from afar, Mike is clenching teeth, rushes. 艰难地从地上爬起来远远看了依琳一眼,麦克咬着牙,又是冲了上去。 The fight is intense, the Eirene knight is also heroic, what a pity, this is the Mike's fifth game of competition. Even physical strength abundant time he not necessarily can win this „giant”, let alone is the present? 战斗是激烈的,依琳的骑士也是英勇的,可惜,这已经是麦克的第五局比试了。即使是体力充沛的时候他也不一定能赢得了这个“巨人”,何况是现在呢？ Encounter several times, Mike has stood continually cannot come to a stop. 几次交锋下来,麦克已经连站都站不稳了。 „This type of weapon is quite fierce, moreover seems like is also simpler than many sword.” Gray said after a sigh. “这种武器好厉害,而且看上去也比剑简单好多。”格雷感叹道。 „Naturally was fierce. A heavier weapon is fiercer, so long as you can take.” Paz spoke thoughtlessly one. “当然厉害了。越重的武器越厉害,只要你拿得动。”帕斯随口说了一句。 Finally, Mike was stepped on falls to the ground, the great hammer is pointing at his head. 终于,麦克被踩倒在地了,巨锤指着他的脑袋。 In the square Mike for the people who cheers kept silent, the young girls covered up the lip. 广场上原本为麦克欢呼的人都噤了声,少女们纷纷掩住了唇。 „Falls!? Giants” asked loudly. “降不降！？巨人”高声问道。 „Does not fall!” The whole body is the blood, Mike of suffocation exhausts the final strength response to say. “不降！”已经浑身是血,奄奄一息的麦克用尽最后的力气回应道。 The great hammer held up high. 巨锤高高举起了。 „Falls!” Eirene in stage stood suddenly. “降！”高台上的依琳忽然站了起来。 All of a sudden, all vision were attracted. 一下子,所有的目光都被吸引了过来。 Lies down central Mike on the scene to look at Eirene dull. 躺在场中央的麦克呆呆地望着依琳。 Two aides go forward rapidly, carries off him. 两个侍从迅速上前,把他抬走。 Eirene raised the skirt to suspend hurriedly from the stage, arrived in the camp, side suffocated Mike, gripped his hand gently. 依琳提着裙摆匆忙从高台上走了下来,走到己方阵营中,已经奄奄一息的麦克身边,轻轻握住了他的手。 „Right, sorry, Miss Eirene...... I cannot follow vowing, protects you to arrive finally.” “对,对不起,依琳小姐……我没能遵循誓言,守护您到最后。” „No, you have fulfilled responsibility. Is also willing to follow by this time side me, you are worthy of your pledge.” “不,你已经尽责了。到这时候还愿意追随在我身边,你们都无愧于自己的誓言。” Mike sipped the lip, in the eye socket is exuding the tears. 麦克抿着唇,眼眶中泛起了热泪。 Observes the situation all around, Eirene said in a soft voice: „You are I most loyal knights. Today this weaponry, is important to me. However, I do not hope that you were killed in the competition. Understood what is heard?” 环视四周,依琳轻声说道:“你们都是我最忠诚的骑士。今天这一仗,对我至关重要。但是,我不希望你们在比试中丧命。都听明白了吗？” „Yes!” “是！” In the crowd, Eirene saw that Gray raised the hand timidly. 人群中,依琳看到格雷生生怯怯地举起了手。 „What issue do you have?” “你有什么问题吗？” „I want to ask, if we won, can obtain the formal knight title?” “我想问,如果我们赢了,可以得到正式的骑士头衔吗？” A knight said to Eirene low voice: „This is the mercenary who we invited.” 身旁的一位骑士小声对依琳说道:“这是我们请来的佣兵。” „I know.” Eirene looks to Gray, said in a soft voice: „Hasn't given your knight titles?” “我知道。”依琳望向格雷,轻声道:“不是已经给了你们骑士头衔了吗？” „I mean the formal knight title.” Gray pointed at Paz of not far away saying: „He said our titles temporary.” “我是说正式的骑士头衔。”格雷指着不远处的帕斯说:“他说我们的头衔是临时的。” „Do you want the official knight title?” “你想要正式的骑士封号？” „Yes.” “是的。” „Ok, you beat 50 people in the competition for me, and ensure I ultimately won this competition, I give your formal knight title. Baron, has the fiefdom.” “可以,你在比试中替我击败五十个人,并且保证我最终赢得这场比赛,我给你正式的骑士头衔。男爵,有封地。” „Deal.” “成交。” „Deal” two character exits, Paz stared in a big way the eye to look at Gray, as if cannot believe own ear. “成交”两个字一出口,帕斯瞪大了眼睛看着格雷,仿佛不敢相信自己的耳朵。 All around knights laughs. 四周的骑士们则一阵哄笑。 „What did he just say? Deal?” “他刚刚说什么？成交？” „What he meant was that he really can beats 50 people? Cracks a joke?” “他的意思是他真能的击败五十个人？开玩笑吧？” „Wasn't he will raise the cat to raise stupidly?” “他不会是养猫养傻了吧？” Ridiculed in the sound, Gray is still discussing the condition earnestly: „But, I need a weapon of name hand, can you......” 嘲笑声中,格雷还在认真地谈着条件:“但是,我需要一件称手的兵器,你可不可以……” Eirene apparently has no interest in listening to Gray to say. 依琳显然已经没兴趣听格雷说下去了。 Seventh must start immediately, she has raised the skirt swayed to turn around toward the stage to walk. 第七场马上要开始,她已经提着裙摆转身朝着高台走去。 Gray also wants to pursue, put out a hand to block by Horus: „Completed own matter to be good, other don't want is too many, understands?” 格雷还想追上去,被霍尔斯伸手拦了下来:“做好自己的事情就行了,其他的别想太多,懂吗？”
