Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 140

  Chapter 140 Snow Eagle Medal

   Ed’s sword was lifted into the air by Robin, spun around a few times, and stuck on the ground with a puff.

  The cold blade was attached to Ed’s neck, and Ed’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Robin who was close at hand. Robin’s sword was so fast he didn’t even know it.

I lost? I actually…lost.

  Ed couldn’t believe it, he lost to Robin.

  Robin slowly moved the blade away, and Ed immediately seemed to lose his strength, his legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Robin with a plop.

  Ed propped his hands on the ground with a bewildered expression on his face. He couldn’t accept his defeat. The pain of defeat was like a heavy mountain, almost crushing him.

  He felt dizzy and numb, as if ice water had been poured on his head.

  All his pride and glory were shattered in front of Robin at this moment.

  Robin took off his helmet and looked indifferently at Ed who was kneeling in front of him.

   “Ed, you lost.”

  The entire arena was silent, and in the silence, Duke Augustus slowly stood up. With a loud voice, he announced the result of the competition.

   “The winner is, Baron Robin!”

   “Yahoo!”

  Simon and Luke stood up immediately, cheering loudly. But apart from the two of them, there was still no sound in the auditorium, and everyone was stunned.

  The girl in the yellow hat was so dumbfounded that she didn’t even react when the yellow hat on her head fell off. She couldn’t believe that the object of her admiration, the handsome and powerful Master Ed, actually knelt in front of Robin.

  Keman sat blankly in his seat, stunned with his mouth open, like a wooden man. Even if he was killed, he would have killed Robin’s horse and created such a big advantage for Master Ed, but Ed still lost.

  Robin’s toughness is beyond Coman’s imagination.

   “Crack, crack, crack…”

  The quiet arena suddenly burst into applause, and Duke Augustus took the lead in applauding.

   “What a wonderful competition!”

  As soon as Duke Xueying applauded, the other nobles immediately followed suit and applauded. In an instant, the entire martial arts arena burst into thunderous applause, and the enthusiastic applause was like a wave, wave after wave.

   Robin walked up to Duke August with applause, put his right hand on his chest, bent down and gave a noble salute.

  Augus looked at Robin very appreciatively, and said: “Baron Robin, I should thank you for allowing me to see such a wonderful competition. The knight competition will continue. Do you want to participate in the next competition?”

  Robin replied: “Sorry, please allow me to refuse, Your Excellency the Duke.”

  Robin participated in this competition entirely because of the gold coins promised by Olof. He has no interest in knight competitions.

   “That’s a pity.” Augustus showed a regretful expression.

   Then, Augustus turned his head and said to the servant beside him, “Go, get the Snow Eagle Medal.”

  The servant showed a surprised expression, but nodded immediately: “Yes, master.”

   After a while, the servant came back with a tray. A red cloth was spread on the tray, and a silver badge was placed on the red cloth. The shape of the badge was a white snow eagle with outspread wings.

  Augus walked out of the auditorium and came to Robin. The servant followed him with a tray.

He smiled and said to Robin: “Baron Robin, this is the Order of the Snow Eagle, which is a certificate given to the Knight of the Snow Eagle. Originally, only the champion of the knightly contest was eligible to be named the Knight of the Snow Eagle, but I think, Today’s performance is enough to bring this medal.”

  Hearing what Augustus said, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience. Duke Snow Eagle actually broke the rules of the knight’s tournament for Robin.

   Ed stood behind Robin, his face full of astonishment.

  The title of Snow Eagle Knight has always been an honor that he values ​​very much. Now, Robin also got this honor, and he got it by defeating him.

Moreover, Robin is different from him. When he won the Snow Eagle Medal for the first time, he fought eight consecutive contests and defeated the last opponent with great painstaking efforts before he finally won the Snow Eagle Medal. Got it in just one match.

  Ed had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment. He first thought that Duke Xueying was unfair, which was blatantly showing favoritism to Robin;

   But then, Ed had no choice but to admit the reality: Robin had already defeated him, the former champion. With Robin’s strength, as long as he continued to compete, he would be sure of the Snow Eagle Medal.

  Although Ed was still full of hostility towards Robin, Robin’s toughness also deeply shocked him. When he got up from the ground just now, his mind was full of Robin’s final blow to him.

That picture kept revisiting in his mind over and over again, and he tried to find a way to break it, but in the end he found powerlessly that Robin’s sword was too fast, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t break the blow. His failure was a foregone conclusion the moment Robin drew his sword.

   This feeling of helplessness made Ed feel as if his heart had been pierced.

   This contest also made Ed know Robin again. He couldn’t understand how a little wasteland baron could have such a strong strength.

  You are so strong, why are you panicking in the wilderness?

  Augus picked up the Snow Eagle Medal and put it on Robin’s chest with his own hands. Under the sun, this snow eagle soaring with wings was shining brightly.

   “Thank you, Duke.”

  Robin bent down to salute. Although he was not interested in the title of Snow Eagle, since he was given it urgently, he should not give it up for nothing. Besides, this medal looks quite valuable.

   Then, Augustus turned around and faced the auditorium. He announced happily: “Let us welcome the birth of the new Snow Eagle Knight!”

   As soon as he finished speaking, the entire arena burst into thunderous applause again…

  …

  Robin returned to the lounge and took off his armor under the service of several servants.

  Then, Simon, Luke, Helen, and Olof walked into the lounge.

   “Boss, you played so beautifully. It’s really enjoyable to teach that little boy a lesson!” Iron Bear Warrior shouted bluffing as soon as he entered the door.

   “Robin, I have opened my eyes today. I am deeply impressed by your fighting skills. If you have time, we will have to fight twice.”

  While Helen admired Robin, as a knight, she couldn’t help but feel a little itchy.

  Olov was thoughtful, and said: “I don’t understand something, Robin, is your equestrian skills really bad? Why is the horse suddenly frightened when charging?”

  Robin changed his clothes, with a thoughtful expression on his face. He has also been wondering about this matter, and he feels that the problem may lie with the horse.

   “That stinky horse should be stewed!” Simon was still thinking about stewing the horse.

  At this time, a servant walked into the lounge and came to Robin to report: “Master Baron, according to your instructions, I brought back the horse you were riding just now, and tied it outside the door.”

   “Okay, let’s go take a look.” Robin said and walked outside.

   Several people went out, and saw that tall war horse standing obediently outside the door, it didn’t look like it had a bad temper at all.

  Robin walked over, turned left and right around the horse a few times, squatted down again, touched the horse’s hoof, and touched the horse’s leg.

  No one knew what he was going to do. Helen frowned and asked strangely, “Robin, what are you looking for?”

  Suddenly, Robin’s expression changed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: “That’s right.”

  He stood up and said to Helen and the others: “Look at the inside of the left front leg of this horse, and then you will understand everything.”

   Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately surrounded the horse. They squatted under the horse’s belly, tilting their heads to look over with difficulty. I saw a small burn on the inside of the horse’s left foreleg. The scar was new and definitely not from before.

   Several people understood immediately, and Helen showed an expression of disbelief: “Someone tampered with your horse!”

  Robin reasoned calmly: “Although I don’t know how the opponent did it, but when I charged, someone burned the horse’s leg with fire, so it was suddenly startled.”

  Robin touched the horse’s nose distressedly: “Thank you, young man.”

  The female knight, who had a strong sense of justice, was furious on the spot. She stood up and said angrily, “Could it be that Ed did it?”

Olof set fire aside: “Who else but Ed? I can guess how he made the fire. Most likely he used a fire scroll, a small gadget printed on the horse’s leg. After activation, the magic circle It just disappeared, so there is no evidence to be found.”

  Simon’s temper became even more violent, and he wanted to fight immediately: “That **** boy, please speak up, leader, as long as you give the order, I will go and tie him up!”

  Although the half-elf Luke is much calmer, his handsome face is also full of evil spirits.

  But Robin didn’t say anything, just stroking the horse’s neck to comfort the wounded little heart of the horse.

  He is now on the territory of the Xueying family, participating in a competition held by the Xueying family. When something like this happens, the Xueying family should be responsible, and there is no need for him to do it.

On the surface, this matter was aimed at Robin, but in fact it slapped the Snow Eagle family in the face. If they just sit back and watch, then they will not have to govern the Northern Territory in the future. Sooner or later, their current status and power will all give way go out.

Of course Helen understands this truth. As a knight, she has always insisted on fairness and justice; as a member of the Snow Eagle family, she also has to maintain the majesty of the Snow Eagle family; as Robin’s friend, she has to fight for Robin .

  So, the female knight promised Robin righteously: “Robin, don’t worry, I will take care of this matter.”

   Robin smiled and nodded at her: “I believe in you.”

  Robin’s words were not for show, he really believed in Helen.

   Then, Helen started her investigation. Although Olof believed that Ed did it, but there is no evidence right now, and it is not easy for Helen to directly confront Ed.

  She first called over the servant who was in charge of picking out Robin’s horse, and asked her sternly. The servant was a coward, and he was frightened and frightened, so he recruited them all without asking a few words.

   “Baron Coman said he was an old friend of Baron Robin. I thought to myself that he is a nobleman, so it is impossible to lie. I didn’t dare to disobey him, so I gave him the horse…”

  The servant knelt on the ground, snotted and cried, and told the whole story, including the two gold coins that Coman gave him, which he also handed over.

  Everyone knew that Coman was Ed’s little follower. After hearing the servant’s testimony, Helen immediately became furious, leaving a sentence “I’ll go find Ed!”, and then rode away angrily.

  When she was gone, Olof suddenly smirked, and said to Robin: “This matter is probably done by Coman on his own initiative, and it has nothing to do with Ed.”

   “How do you know? Isn’t that Coman Ed’s follower?” Robin asked strangely.

   “I know Ed. Although he is arrogant and annoying, it is precisely because of his high-mindedness that he will not do such obscene things.” Olof’s tone was very affirmative.

  Robin frowned, feeling even more strange: “Then why didn’t you tell Helen just now?”

Olof spread his hands and said with a smirk: “Why should I tell Helen to let her humiliate Ed severely? Isn’t it more fun? I’m looking forward to Ed’s expression now.” , being misunderstood and insulted by the woman I admire, hahaha, that must be a great feeling.”

  Robin looked at Olof’s treacherous smile from the side, and suddenly realized that this Snow Eagle was really sinister.

  …

  In the mansion of the Bingqi family, in a luxurious lounge, Ed was drinking wine sullenly.

  He was lying on the sofa in a mess, his hair, which was always combed meticulously, was a mess at this moment, completely missing the usual elegant and calm temperament.

  He drank the fine wine bottle after bottle. It seemed that only by getting himself drunk could he forget a little bit of the shame of defeat.

  Keman sat next to him, watching Ed pouring himself like crazy, he couldn’t help persuading him with concern: “Master Ed, you can’t drink any more.”

   “Leave me alone!” Ed yelled angrily, and simply picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth.

  At this time, a maid came in suddenly, seeing that Ed was in a bad mood, she whispered in fear: “Master, Miss Helen is here and wants to see you.”

  As soon as Ed heard it, his lifeless eyes immediately glowed again. He threw away the wine bottle and stood up abruptly: “Helen is here, bring her to see me!”

  He thought Helen was here to comfort him, so he was very happy.

   “Yes, master.”

  After the maid left, Ed hurriedly looked for the mirror and adjusted his hairstyle.

   After a while, Helen walked into the room.

   “Helen, I’m so happy that you came to see me.” Ed stepped forward, his face turned into a flower with a smile.

  However, Ed was not comforted by Helen, what Helen sent him was a scolding meal.

   “Ed! I’m so disappointed in you!” Helen yelled sharply, scaring Ed away.

“I originally thought that although you are a little conceited, a little arrogant, and always look down on other people, you are a knight after all, but I didn’t expect you to do such a shameful thing. I really misjudged you !”

  Helen’s cursing immediately stunned Ed. He stood there, completely dumbfounded.

  At first, he thought that Helen was so angry because he lost the competition, but after hearing that, he became confused.

   “Helen, please speak clearly, what did I do?”

  Ed was also a little annoyed immediately. It was already bad enough for him to lose to Robin, but in the end Helen wanted to stab him in the heart.

“Robin’s horse, it was you who moved the horse. Someone burned the inside of the left foreleg. That’s why Robin’s horse was suddenly frightened during the competition. I have already asked the servants in the arena. The horse is led by Coman. Come!”

  Helen raised her hand and pointed at Coman behind Ed, her gaze was as sharp as a falcon.

  Keman’s complexion changed drastically immediately, and his heart skipped a beat.

  Helen continued to question Ed: “Everyone knows the relationship between Koman and you, didn’t you instruct Koman to do it?”

   “Helen, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Coman…”

   Ed turned his head, and he saw the cold sweat dripping down Coman’s face, and he stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech.

   “Korman, you…”

  Keman’s body softened, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He looked at Ed in a panic, his face pale, and said slowly, “Master, it was me, I did it.”

   Ed stared at Koman in disbelief: “What did you do?”

   “I imprinted the fire-making magic circle on Robin’s war horse. When he charged, I activated the magic circle.” Now that he had been seen through, there was no need to hide it, and Coman told the truth.

   “However, this matter has nothing to do with Master Ed, I did it entirely by myself!” Coman shouted suddenly.

Ed suddenly recalled the scene of the competition. He and Robin charged forward, and Robin’s horse was suddenly frightened. He thought it was Robin’s poor equestrian skills, but at this moment he finally understood that it was Robin’s horse that was passive. Tricked!

  Understanding the truth of the matter, Ed felt like a clown, and Robin still defeated him even though the horse was moved.

  Keman raised his head and asked Helen suspiciously: “Miss Helen, how did you find out? I obviously did it very covertly.”

  Helen calmed down a lot at this moment: “Robin found out.”

   “Baron Robin!” Coman was horrified.

   “Coman, you bastard!”

   Ed roared, he strode up to Coman, grabbed Coman by the neck, and lifted him up. Then Ed swung his hand round, slapped Coman’s face heavily with a slap.

   “I am the son of the Marquis of the Ice Banner, I am the Snow Eagle Knight of Silver Frost City, and I am the future Marquis of the Ice Banner. I can lose, but I can’t do such a reckless thing!”

   Ed roared hysterically. He was really angry. Coman’s doing so was equivalent to stepping on his already shattered self-esteem.

  Keman’s nose was bleeding from the slap, he panicked and defended: “Master, I just want you to win.”

  Ed threw Coman to the ground and shouted with all his strength: “Get out!”
