Chapter 962

This decisive battle took place three days later, giving the two contestants sufficient time to rest and prepare.

On the day of the finals, there was an unprecedented liveliness in the city of King's Landing. This competition, which lasted for more than a month, became the biggest talk of the people of King's Landing after a meal.

The ancient surnames and noble families, the young knights, like a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers competing for beauty, showed their heads one after another, making the onlookers cheer for them.

The young people of the empire are full of vigor and vitality, and they are no worse than their parents, which also makes people have more trust and expectations for this country.

Therefore, when the biggest suspense of this tournament, when the competition for the final championship unfolded, people's enthusiasm also reached the highest level, and they poured into the tournament venues in the outer city from all over the world early in the morning.

According to the number of bets and the odds, people have the highest expectations that the 'Giant Prince' Artis can finally win the championship, and the young 'Dawn Excalibur' Edric Dayne's support rate is slightly lower than that of the giants prince.

There is no reason for him.

The giant prince Artis performed very well in the first few matches. Edric Dayne still needs to deal with the enemy, and then defeat the enemy one by one with his superb swordsmanship.

The battle of the giant prince is much simpler. It is simple and rude to beat ten times with one force. He grabs his opponent from the horse's back and falls into a mess, or he punches his opponent away. The armor was sunken, and the opponent who hit him vomited blood.

This exaggerated battle is extremely eye-catching, so it is not difficult to understand that people have higher expectations for Artis compared to Edric Dayne, who is still an ordinary person.

At the age of eight, the giant prince was almost seven feet tall, close to two meters, comparable to Gregor Clegane, the first villain in the Seven Kingdoms. If he waited until he became the king of giants, how tall would he be? ?

Although the giant king now lives in the royal forest outside the city of King's Landing, with the giant dragons as neighbors, but on weekdays the giants do not go out of the royal forest, and the people outside cannot see it, and they dare not approach it easily.

Because it is no longer a secret that dragons are kept in captivity in the imperial forest, and this place has also been designated as a restricted area for royal hunting, and this restricted area is actually for the good of the surrounding people, otherwise, you will break into the imperial forest without authorization. Become the food of the dragons.

"This giant prince. Maybe now only the original magic mountain can fight him."

The final decisive battle is about to begin. In the VIP seats of the competition venue, there are nobles who have witnessed the battle of the villain 'Magic Mountain' Gregor Clegane with their own eyes.

On the other side, at the highest seat of the VIP seat, Arianne was wearing a long pale yellow dress with gold threads embroidered with gorgeous patterns full of Dorne characteristics. She wore Valyria on her head. A crown of steel, with rubies in it reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

She sat on the throne and looked down, the guards propped up the umbrella to shade her head, and the maid Sansa Stark stood beside Her Majesty the Queen with a fan in her arms.

Although Princess Dorn is over thirty years old and has been married to Viserys for more than ten years, she is still beautiful and indescribable, and she became the focus of the audience as soon as she appeared.

"His Majesty."

The imperial aristocrats who came from out of town to meet them hurriedly stepped forward to give their salutes and knelt down on one knee.

Among them is the Governor of the Riverlands, Hendry, the illegitimate son of the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragonstone Fleet.

Many years ago he had received an edict from Viserys to take back the surname of Bracken, and after the death of his father Hendry Bracken became a new generation of Earl of the Twins, of the Riverlands. Governor.

The young Governor of the Riverlands is now married. He is married to Carriline Smallwood, the daughter of Thomas Smallwood, Earl of Acorn Hall, and Lady Ravenna Swain. The young girl is beautiful and likes Dancing and singing are beautiful.

And after the death of his father, Hendry really needed a wife from the Riverland family, relying on the strength of the wife's family to help him stabilize his rule.

Serious chaos and rebellion broke out in the long night in the Hejian Land, but it has already been extinguished. It is said that many people were hanged, and the bodies that were hanged at that time can still be seen in some deserted villages and castles. Wandering around, there is even a legend that a certain place is haunted.

And Hendry, the governor of the riverlands, actually did a good job. Although he got the surname of Bracken, he came from a lowly background and was easy to look down on. Therefore, it was a good move for him to marry Kerillin Smallwood. .

After greeting Her Majesty the Queen, these nobles from all over the country stood up and returned to their seats.

"His Majesty."

However, at this moment, Vilas Tyrell, wearing the medal of the Emperor's Hand on his chest and leaning on a cane, stepped forward. He first glanced at his fiancée, and Sansa, who was the queen's maid, suddenly had a cheek. Slightly red.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Then Velas came to Arianne's side, whispered a few words in her ear, and then handed a note to Her Majesty the Queen.

"understood."

And Arianne nodded slightly when she heard Velas's words, and the diligent and conscientious former Prime Minister bowed and stepped back.

He was not very interested in the results of the tournament.

In fact, who will win the final championship between Edric Dane and Artis has nothing to do with him, anyway, the result that will affect the court has been doomed before the game.

There are still many things that Velas cares about, such as the total revenue of this tournament.

This was one of his pilots, and today has come to the end, the betting and statistics were finished before the game started, and the financial officer reported the final numbers to Villas, making him even a little suffocated.

Because the net running water of this competition has reached an astonishing number, even the royal family who only took a rake got more than 300,000 golden dragons.

And these are not counting so many distinguished guests and knights flocking to King's Landing, all the consumption generated, the economic benefits brought by food, clothing, housing and transportation, and ultimately the most direct tax.

This number is too exaggerated.

Compared to Robert Baratheon's tournament, he lost an average of ten and two hundred thousand gold dragons each time.

Not only was there no loss at this tournament, but the net gain even reached an astronomical figure.

Because King Robert held a tournament, the final prize alone was nearly 100,000 gold dragons.

Moreover, during the competition, the knights' accommodation, drinks, food, etc. and even drinking and sports are all free, and are borne by the royal family.
