In fact, from the beginning when the etiquette officer explained the etiquette rules to Richard, Richard had a strange sense of déjà vu, but Richard was too concerned about it. Anyway, Ren agreed, and these were just a formality, until he was
After being locked outside this huge palace door, he realized where this familiar feeling of déjà vu came from.
He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. When the group of animals around him got married in his previous life, he helped open the door. But in the past, it was just an ordinary door, not a security door. Now this one is four to five meters high and two meters high.
He had never seen such a thick and huge palace door, and the materials used to build the palace door were all fine iron, which made it impossible for the Sky Knight to break open it.
Richard had a way to fly over directly, but it was impossible for the entire escort team to fly in with him. He came to pick up the bride in an upright manner, and he did not come to elope with Messiah. He had to complete the procedures.
There was no way around it. He couldn't just sit here and sit in silence. Richard had no choice but to turn around and ask the etiquette officer and liaison officer sent by the palace:
"Your Excellency, Master of Ceremonies, what should we do next?"
"Give some money to the guards at the city gate?"
The etiquette officer's words were a little uncertain. Richard shook his head. The guards on both sides didn't seem to have the right to open the door. It seemed that the old boy Ren was trying to embarrass him.
"Ask who the gatekeeper is. Go in and restrain the people in the city gate, then open the door. Try not to hurt anyone."
"Yes, sir."
Fred, who was wearing heavy armor, was already a little impatient. Hearing what Richard said, he started to look a little eager to try. The etiquette officer on the side wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly:
"Master Richard, wait for me to go up and ask who is guarding the palace gate."
However, before the etiquette officer could go up, a figure that was very familiar to Richard appeared on the top of the city.
"Long time no see, Richard."
There are not many people in the kingdom who can still be so hostile to Richard, but the person who appeared on the city wall happened to be qualified. Wearing a suit of dragon scale armor, and looking like he was going to fight, Thor walked to the gap in the battlements.
Shout to Richard.
"Good day Lord Thor."
Richard immediately turned slightly sideways towards Saul as a salute.
Honestly speaking, Saul treated Richard well in the North. Richard did a lot of good things by relying on Saul's appreciation. The entire Tiger and Leopard Army was left to him by Saul. Richard later returned
Using Thor's name, he did some extortion in the river valley, and made a lot of benefits from the group of merchants and nobles in the river valley who were frightened by Thor, plus the other party's transcendent status in the kingdom.
, Richard should also maintain a certain amount of respect.
Sol nodded towards Richard at the top of the city as a response, and then shouted to Richard:
"Boy Richard, according to the rules left by His Majesty Aragon, since you want to be the son-in-law of my Charlemagne family, you must pass a certain test. Your Majesty ordered me to wait here. You must pass my test before you can
You can enter this palace gate."
"However, as the elder of Messiah, I will not embarrass you too much. Today I will take a test to test your strength. If you defeat me, you will pass."
When Richard heard this, he was inexplicably familiar with the process. The old boy Aragorn almost ruined the world with his own preferences. Fortunately, this guy didn't rule for long, otherwise when Richard came, he said
You might see a group of blond, blue-eyed or even green-skinned people with animal heads wearing long robes and talking nonsense.
"Qiang!"
"Please enlighten me, Lord Thor!"
Richard pulled out the Vulcan Sword and gave Thor a slight salute. He complained, but the test proposed by Thor was indeed not difficult for Richard. At least he did not propose a strange test that made Richard run naked around the palace.
Although Thor is the dragon knight of the country, in this kind of sparring battle, Thor obviously will not summon the golden dragon to join the battle. Without the golden dragon, Thor is only the peak strength of the earth knight. Richard thinks that he is not much worse.
Coupled with the recent acquisition of several new strength-enhancing treasures, Richard is confident of a fair fight with Thor even without using the abilities of the Angel Necklace and Giant's Ring.
After Thor explained the situation, he didn't say much. He took off the heavy sword like a door panel from his back and held it in his hand. He didn't ask the soldiers to open the palace door, but walked directly out of the city.
Yes, instead of jumping twice from the top of the city, he walked out as if walking in the air, and then slowly descended to the open space more than ten meters in front of Richard, waiting for Richard to attack.
Sure enough, they are a family, and Thor is not a good person! Richard silently looked at Thor falling from the sky, took back his unsheathed Vulcan sword, turned to the etiquette officer next to him and asked:
"I remember that according to etiquette and rules, I don't need to personally take part in this kind of test, right?"
"Um…"
The etiquette officer nodded subconsciously, as long as the man was able to solve the problem. It was not uncommon for some nobles to spend a lot of money to hire a bunch of helpers for the sake of face when getting married, but the etiquette officer quickly realized that something was wrong.
"But what Sir Saul wants to take the exam for is..."
"As long as you comply with the rules, then I'll be fine."
"Fred!"
Before the etiquette officer could finish speaking, Richard shouted Fred, and Fred, who was a little behind Richard, immediately stood up.
"My subordinate is here!"
"This level is up to you. Be careful when you strike so as not to hurt Mr. Thor."
"Yes, Lord Richard!"
After saying that, Fred pulled out a weapon that looked similar to the giant sword in Thor's hand and stepped forward.
Just kidding, I don’t know whether Thor was stimulated by something or whether his strength has been accumulated to the point where it is natural. Two or three months ago, Thor, who was only at the peak of the earth level, unexpectedly broke through to the sky level. Richard’s own strength was not enough.
Saw it.
The cooldown time of the Giant Ring and Angel Necklace has not yet expired, and even if it does, it will still be used when going to the south. It is a waste to use it here for a competition that is not even a battle of spirits.
Richard himself has no habit of sending people up to educate others unilaterally. Even if Thor has just stepped into the sky level, he may not even be fully familiar with the power. It is considered a weaker level in the sky level, but it is not the earth level.
Richard at his peak can defeat him.
Of course, Saul didn't mean to deliberately embarrass Richard. It was obvious that Richard was pretending to be a transition before, making Saul mistakenly think that Richard was a master who entered the sky level earlier. This time, after advancing to the sky level, he was somewhat unfair.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to test Richard, those seeking personal gain found a sky-level master to practice fighting and become familiar with the fighting in this realm as soon as possible.
Little did he know that he was actually posing a big problem for Richard. Richard was actually a parallel import. He was a Sky Knight who could only fight for ten minutes a month and couldn't bear to fight at all.
Helpless, Richard could only shamelessly call out Fred to fight on his behalf.
Fred, who was wearing heavy armor, walked up to Richard and faced Thor. He raised the huge sword in his hand and saluted Thor.
"Lord Thor, please."
Thor was a little confused when he saw that Richard, who had already drawn his sword and was about to fight, put his sword back to his waist and sent a warrior to fight. He didn't think that Richard was a man who was afraid of fighting without courage. After all, he was in the Northland.
At that time, Richard's bravery and skill on the battlefield still left a good impression on him, but now Saul had no time to think about anything.
If Richard sent people to fight, it would not be considered a violation of the rules, so he had no choice but to fight. The opponent was already ready to take action, and he couldn't stay here any longer. Anyway, as long as he defeated the person in front of him, Richard would naturally take action.
Perhaps Richard was afraid that he would be defeated and lose face as soon as he came up, so he deliberately sent some of his subordinates to give him a cushion so that he could win two games and then lose, so that he would be more dignified if he lost?
But Thor soon realized that he had gone astray. How could someone as stupid as Richard have such good intentions? After Thor returned the favor, Fred, who acquiesced that the sparring had begun, jumped up with his giant sword in hand.
,
At a distance of less than ten meters, Fred jumped directly with the strength of his body. Although Fred's speed of action was a bit unexpected, Thor was also a veteran with rich combat experience and reacted instantly.
Sword rung.
"clang!"
"boom!"
As soon as the two sides came together, they burst out with fighting spirit, trying to gain the upper hand in the first blow.
As soon as the two sides fought, Thor discovered something was wrong. Thor's strength was not weak. Even at the earth level, Thor's strength was his strength. However, the outstanding swordsmen were also a type of soldier known for their strength. They were capable warriors.
How could the fierce dragon lose in strength?
With just one blow, Thor felt like he couldn't hold the giant sword. Seeing that the situation was not right, Thor immediately released his strength to the side, no longer trying to block, trying to use cleverness to cut off Fred's big sword.
The sword opened.
But there is no reason why Fred would let him get what he wanted. It is true that Thor is a dragon knight with rich combat experience, but Fred is also an elite who has survived countless brutal battles. The outstanding swordsman has learned from the ruthlessness of combat experience.
In terms of experience, he is no worse than Sol.
After discovering Thor's intention to relieve his force, Fred first moved his great sword in the direction of Thor's unloading force. Halfway through, he suddenly used force to attack from Thor's right side. Thor did not evade in a hurry and could only
He forcefully smacked the blade of the giant sword, and the huge force made Thor, whose physical fitness has obviously reached the inhuman level, feel like his internal organs were surging. If it were a knight with less strength, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
.
"drink!"
Thor, who had suffered a moderate loss, retreated violently, trying to get rid of Fred's entanglement and regroup, but Fred, who was experienced in combat, was not willing to let him go as he wanted.
,
As soon as Thor retreated, Fred noticed the opponent's intention and immediately bullied him. He didn't intend to give the opponent a chance to buffer. Thor felt that this was the most uncomfortable battle he had ever fought. Although it was not a life and death battle,
But the feeling of being suppressed by the opponent in all aspects from hard power to combat experience and prediction is not good at all. There is not even a chance to escape. Fred is completely unreasonable. Once he has the upper hand, he must maintain it.
It feels oppressive and doesn't give me any chance to breathe.
Thor had no choice. Since retreating was useless, he could only try to channel his fighting spirit and use his flying ability, which consumes very much fighting spirit. With the amount of fighting spirit that Thor had when he first entered the sky level, he would probably run out of fighting spirit in just a few minutes of flying.
But Thor's move from the sky played into Fred's hands. After Thor took off and flew into the sky, Fred's fighting spirit exploded at a faster speed and flew directly to the top of Thor's head. Before Thor could take a breath,
, the big slashing sword struck from above his head again, forcing Thor to raise his sword to resist again.
The air is more suitable for more flexible knights to fight, but Fred, who seems to be heavily armored and somewhat bulky, is much more flexible than Thor, who is wearing golden dragon scale armor. Thor has just entered the sky level, and in the air
His combat experience is even more lacking. Although as a dragon knight, he often flies in the sky, but fighting on a dragon is completely different from fighting while floating in the sky.
It's okay to bully a weak opponent, but when encountering an animal like Fred, who has a lot of experience in mid-level combat in the sky, Thor's shortcomings are completely exposed.
"boom!"
With a huge noise, a figure about ten meters in the air hit the ground like a cannonball, making a small crater in the stone slab in front of the palace gate.
Taking a closer look, it was Thor who fell to the ground, while Fred slowly fell from the air and stood beside Richard. They fought fiercely in the air for several minutes. Fred seemed to have the upper hand, but his fighting spirit was exhausted.
Still quite amazing and needs a little recovery.
"Lord Thor!"
The ceremonial officers and soldiers at the city gate were watching the landing. Thor, who was a little shocked by the way he landed, began to exclaim. If something went wrong with Thor here, it would be a big deal.
"Ahem..."
Fortunately, Fred's final move was quite measured and he did not make them anxious for too long. Thor climbed up from the ground, coughed twice, and patted the dust on his body. Apparently, he was not too seriously injured.
After all, he is a sky-level master, and his physical fitness is still different. The height of more than ten meters, which is already fatal for ordinary people, may have caused Thor a little pain.
"Skills are not as good as people, skills are not as good as people..."
"Then, Lord Thor, have I passed this test?"
Saul did not answer Richard's words, but turned around and shouted to his men at the city gate.
"Open the door!"
Obviously, Richard has passed this test. In terms of Saul's character, he is already a rare upright person in the Charman family. At least he will not cheat on this kind of thing.
"Thank you Lord Thor!"
The rope made a harsh squeaking sound, the heavy palace door was slowly opened, and the passage into the palace appeared in front of them. The team welcoming the bride let out a burst of cheers, and the most difficult hurdle was finally passed.
"No more than a hundred people can go in. You should weigh it yourself."
"Also, he can't go in."
"Well, I know the rules."
Although he was entering the palace to welcome his bride, how could such a place allow Richard to bring so many people in? The limit of being able to bring a hundred people in was already high, and Fred also became a dangerous person in Thor's eyes.
He stayed outside the palace gate.
Richard admitted it. Anyway, there was Mills beside him who had not been exposed. He was also a mid-level fighter in the sky. And if Richard had the courage, he would not act recklessly in the palace. Lord Qing, who came from Aragon
The old monster who survived the era is still sitting in the palace.
"Where did you find such a master?"
Thor finally asked his doubts. Why did the masters of the sky level become like cabbage here to Richard? He finally reached the sky level, but he was defeated by his men without even being qualified to fight with him.
?
"Hehe, hehehe..."
"Lord Saul, your happy money..."
Richard handed a large bag of gold to Sol and hurriedly changed the subject.
Faced with this kind of problem, Richard had no choice but to pretend to be stupid. Fortunately, no one in the capital could arrest him and question him. Seeing that Richard didn't say anything, Saul didn't ask any more questions and waved his hand for him to hurry in.
.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Da da da, da da da..."
The pure white Western Horse, dragging the luxurious carriage, slowly walked into the palace...
