"That's such a pity. I can't wait to see that sword bathed in dragon's blood."

At this time, King Robert didn't know whether it was because of excitement or alcohol. His face turned red again: "Tomorrow, I will go hunting with Ned in the forests around Winterfell. You will follow them.

Do you want to go together?"

"I'm only staying in Winterfell temporarily. I'm not a retainer or subordinate of the Stark family. I'm afraid I don't have this honor."

After hearing this, Robert turned to Eddard, who was standing next to him, and scolded: "Ned, what did you do? A dragon slayer came to your castle, but you didn't make him a knight."

Ed was also deeply helpless at Robert's sudden reproach, and an awkward smile appeared on his indifferent face: "Your Majesty, few people in the north believe in the Seven Gods, so we usually don't canonize our subordinates as knights. Besides, Gaoyuan

Nor are they subordinate to me."

"So, now you are still a hedge knight and have not sworn allegiance to anyone?" Robert suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"Your Majesty the King, I am a ranger!" Gao Yuan emphasized, "Normally I will not accept employment from others. Even if I am now serving as the swordsmanship teacher of Lord Stark's illegitimate son in Winterfell, I have not asked Shi

Lord Tucker takes no payment."

"Haha... You kid, I like you more and more." Robert burst out laughing after receiving Gao Yuan's reply. He patted Gao Yuan's shoulder heavily with his big bear-paw-like hands, "I

Now I really want to turn you into my vassal, but this seems to be against the rules. You haven't done any meritorious service for me yet, and I don't have any territory in the king's territory that I can entrust to you."

"If I were a knight, I would definitely make you a knight." Robert said with some pity, but then he remembered that there were many knights present at this banquet, so he looked at the guests around him

They shouted: "All the knights here, are any of you willing to canonize this dragon slayer as a knight on my behalf?"

"Your Majesty!" Duke Eddard frowned, trying to stop the king's impulse.

King Robert waved his hand and interrupted what Eddard wanted to say next: "I am now the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. Even in Winterfell, I have the right to have my vassals canonize a knight."

"Among the knights present, is there no one willing to canonize this dragon slayer?" Seeing that no one came forward, the king asked again.

The king's words caused a lot of discussion among the knights present. It was not that they were unwilling to follow Robert's order to canonize the young man who claimed to be the dragon slayer as a knight. After all, there were not many opportunities to please the king, but compared to the king's

In terms of favor, they cherish their family and personal honor more.

In the view of these Westeros nobles who believe in the Seven Gods, canonizing a knight is a sacred and prudent act. If the person who is knighted does not have the strength or character to match his status as a knight, it will be detrimental to that person.

The knight's honor will be conferred on the knight's name, and his family will be spurned by other families.

This kind of social pressure from the class level has largely prevented some knights from arbitrarily canonizing others for their own interests and other reasons.

Most of them met this dragon slayer named Gao Yuan for the first time today, and they had no idea what kind of person he was. And they had no idea what kind of person he was, and they had no idea what he claimed to have killed evil dragons.

However, they were still skeptical at this time, what if he was someone seeking fame and reputation.

Therefore, for the sake of their own honor and the reputation of their family, they did not obey Robert's order to stand up and knight Gao Yuan. Even the king had no right to force a knight with honor to knight others.

"Kingslayer!" The angry King Robert was like a roaring lion. He was calling his Kingsguard, "Come and canonize this dragon slayer."

Hearing King Robert's call, Jaime Lannister, the Kingsguard with beautiful blond hair, walked out of the crowd with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, as your Kingsguard, I should obey what you say.

All orders given."

"However, it is my honor as a formal knight to freely choose who to be knighted. You have no right to force me to do this, even if you are my monarch."

"Do you still have any honor to speak of? People call you the Kingslayer because you killed the monarch you once swore allegiance to." King Robert sneered at Jaime Lannister unceremoniously.

, "Now you are going to disobey your new master's orders again?"

Jaime Lannister has long been accustomed to facing the ridicule from King Robert. He can no longer remember how many times he has been called the Kingslayer. It doesn't matter how many more times he is called.

"Damn glory! What do you want before you agree to canonize him as a knight?" Seeing Jaime's silence, Robert asked rudely.

"Unless he can prove his strength in a duel, fight me to a tie or defeat me." Jaime's answer was concise and to the point, he agreed to Robert, as long as Gao Yuan could defeat him in a duel, or beat him to a tie.

Canonization.

"Ned!" Robert yelled, "Give them those two swords and take this opportunity to show me what my Kingsguard and this dragon slayer are capable of."

Jaime Lannister, the Kingsguard who once killed the "Mad King", was about to have a duel with Gao Yuan, who claimed to be the dragon slayer. The guests surrounding them consciously made a blank area for them.

Even the long tables and the food on them were carried away by the servants, just to give them enough space to fully perform.

Soon, the two guards sent by Ed Stark brought the long steel swords for the two of them to fight with. Gao Yuan took the long steel swords in his hands and played with them several times.

Compared with the Blade of the Evening Star made of meteorite iron, this steel sword made by the blacksmith of Winterfell is too light.

"What, is the sword in your hand not very comfortable?" James across from Gao Yuan said with a smile, "Do you want me to give you some time to get used to it? I don't want to gain disgrace."

"It is indeed not very convenient, because it is too light!" Gao Yuan responded to James' kindness with a smile, "But you don't have to adapt. To deal with you, even giving me a wooden stick is enough."

"Wow, what you said is so beautiful! I hope you can still say such beautiful words when I put the sword on your neck later." James sneered, "You said you once killed a dragon,

I hope this is not a rumor, otherwise it would be very disappointing to me."

"I won't disappoint you. You are much easier to deal with than Long." Gao Yuan choked back.

After some exchanges of words, James had unknowingly arrived in front of Gao Yuan. The stainless steel sword he held in both hands was pointed steadily at Gao Yuan's face. From here, it can be seen that James Lannister's swordsmanship

His skills are extremely strong, and he doesn't neglect training at all times.

Gao Yuan used his sword to fly away the tip of the sword that was about to approach his face. The huge force caused countless sparks to burst out when the two swords intersected. James, whose palms were so numb that he could barely hold the long sword in his hand, held it again.

He launched an attack on Gao Yuan, and the sharp sword tip passed by Gao Yuan's ear, but Gao Yuan did not retreat but instead stepped forward and hugged James' sword-holding hands.

Before James could react, he immediately released his grip on the hilt of the sword with his left hand and tried to escape from Gao Yuan's grip. However, he found that he could not break free from Gao Yuan's arms. Instead, Gao Yuan kicked him in the knee.

place, causing the regicide to kneel on one knee in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan originally planned to have James kneel in front of him, but he did not expect that James' lower body was extremely stable, and his kick with 60% power only made him kneel on one knee.

But it didn't hurt, because the sword in his hand had already slashed at James' neck. Fortunately, James reacted very quickly and immediately retracted the long sword in his hand during this ever-changing battle, blocking Gao Yuan's fatal blow.

Looking at the sharp blade in front of his neck, the sword in Gao Yuan's hand had been deeply embedded in his steel sword. If he hadn't drawn the sword in time to block it, his head would have been separated from his body. But still

Before James could breathe a sigh of relief, Gao Yuan kicked him on the chest, which was covered in fine clothes.

As King Robert's Kingsguard, Jaime Lannister was kicked four or five meters away by the Dragon Slayer in just two turns. This caused a burst of exclamations from the surrounding guests.

The pot-bellied King Robert applauded Gao Yuan excitedly. Seeing this, people who didn't know about it would probably think that Gao Yuan was the Kingsguard responsible for protecting the king.

In fact, this is the result of Gao Yuan's mercy. If he kicked Jaime Lannister with all his strength without plate armor protection, it would be enough to cause his chest to collapse, vomit blood and die in an instant.

James, who was kicked away by Gao Yuan and felt short of breath and chest tightness, finally stood up with the support of the stainless steel sword. The first thing he did when he stood up was to check whether the sword in his hand could still support him to continue fighting.

.

"What, isn't the sword in your hand not very comfortable to use?" Gao Yuan smiled and returned what James had said to him before, "Do you want me to give you some time to change to a new sword? I don't want to win.

Disgraceful!"

When James raised the steel sword in his hand, the onlookers finally saw the gap in it clearly. It was a huge gap that almost crossed the center line of the sword. Any warrior with some combat experience, when they saw this terrifying

Everyone knew that if James continued to fight with this sword, he would be cut off by Gao Yuan.

Of course, the steel sword in Gao Yuan's hand was not unharmed. After all, the effect of force is reciprocal, and what he was holding in his hand at this time was not the indestructible Blade of the Evening Star. But compared to the steel sword in James' hand, he

The gap on the steel sword in my hand is just a small thing that makes it look like a big witch.

"Jory, go get a new weapon for Ser Jaime Lannister. The competition is temporarily suspended!" Duke Eddard Stark called his captain of the guard and signaled Gao Yuan and the others to suspend the competition.

"Seven gods! Gao Yuan, how did you chop the steel sword in the hands of the regicide into that shape?" King Robert shouted excitedly, "Next time I hold a tournament, you

You must come and participate, the tournament without you is like a female branch girl losing her naizi."

Faced with Robert's vulgar words, Gao Yuan just smiled brightly at the king.

Someone soon brought new weapons to Jaime, but this time it was not Eddard's captain who handed him the steel sword, but Jaime's brother Tyrion Lannister. At the same time, he was given a steel sword.

In addition to Jaime's own gilded sword, there is also a set of white armor with the crest of the Lannister family, which is the armor that Jaime often wears when performing his duties as a Kingsguard.

However, James did not take over the armor from Tyrion, but chose to continue to wear fine clothes to fight Gao Yuan. Since Gao Yuan also wanted to show his chivalry, he took off his armor from the Middle Earth.

The dragon scale armor he came here only wore this piece of leather armor sewn from dragon skin to fight James.

When Robert saw Gao Yuan take off his dragon scale armor and reveal the dragon skin armor he was wearing underneath, his eyes suddenly lit up. The leather armor Gao Yuan was wearing at this moment further confirmed his identity as a dragon slayer.

.

As the owner of the Iron Throne, King Robert naturally saw the dragon skin left by the Targaryen family in the dragon lair and on Dragonstone Island. He recognized the material of Gao Yuan's leather armor at a glance.

"Are you ready?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Come on horseback!"

James, who had suffered a loss from Gao Yuan, finally lost his arrogance and ease at the beginning of the competition. He also understood Gao Yuan's advantage in the battle. From the beginning to the end, Gao Yuan's performance was outstanding.

Yes, its strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. Especially when he almost cut off the sword in his hand with the sword just now, James felt as if he was wrestling with a mammoth.

James tightly held the gilded sword in his hand. This time, he was going to launch a violent attack on Gao Yuan at the beginning of the battle, and fight close to his body, making it impossible for Gao Yuan to display his extraordinary strength.

Awesome natural power.

As soon as the attack started, James rushed towards Gao Yuan quickly. He quickly waved the gold-plated sword in his hand, barely dodged and blocked Gao Yuan's several powerful and heavy sword moves, and then entered Gao Yuan's body.

Within the range of your hands.

This reach range is usually a restricted area for those wielding huge and heavy weapons. When they face agile enemies, they will focus on guarding against those who try to enter their reach range. Because once those people

Once opponents wielding small arms and long swords come within their grasp, they will have difficulty retracting their weapons and elbows to defend themselves against the opponent's attack.

But this time, James' plan may fail again.

What he saw in the first round of the fight was just what Gao Yuan deliberately displayed in front of him. James thought he recognized Gao Yuan's weaknesses, but he didn't know that this was just a wrong perception led by Gao Yuan to him.

.Gao Yuan has never been a warrior whose main focus is simply bursts of power!
