Chapter 674 (1/2)
”Swordsman?” Su Cheng exclaimed.
Then I remembered Jacob's old face and his thin looking body in my mind.
”Ha ha ha.” Albert burst out several hearty laughs. ”It seems that you really don't know. The name Jacob used when he was young, although it was exaggerated. ”
”The late emperor, that is, the 11th emperor, Aldrich Augustus, is a man who likes martial arts very much.”
”He not only likes to practice martial arts, but also likes to watch others compete.”
”Therefore, under his rule, a 'martial arts contest' was held every three years, and people from any country and region can participate in this contest.”
After hearing the word ”martial arts contest”, Su Cheng raised his eyebrow.
The word ”martial arts contest” is like thunder to Su Cheng.
Anyone who has read a little knows the notorious ”martial arts contest”.
The 11th emperor of the britannian Empire, that is, godivan's father, Aldrich Augustus, is a man who likes martial arts and watching others compete.
In order to meet his preferences, he held the martial arts competition every three years.
People from any country and region on the mainland can attend.
This martial arts contest is notorious because it is too bloody and violent.
In order to increase the appreciation of the Congress, the 11th generation emperor Aldrich specially asked that the martial arts contest must be a real sword duel, and all contestants should not wear any armor.
At the same time - you are also allowed to kill your opponent in this competition.
Therefore, many people will die or be disabled in each martial arts contest.
The contestants were armed with different weapons, such as maces, swords, two handed swords, tomahawks and other sharp weapons. They killed each other and made the whole venue bloody and the disabled limbs fly disorderly.
Since Aldrich began to hold the martial arts contest, many people have asked Aldrich to stop this bloody and unreasonable contest.
It's a pity - Aldrich has always ignored these suggestions.
Until his son, the current emperor gozewen, became emperor, gozewen, who had always hated the bloody martial arts contest, finally ordered that the contest be completely terminated and that future generations should never hold a similar bloody contest again.
”When Jacob was 17 years old, he participated in the unknown martial arts competition. I forgot which session it was. ”
Albert continued.
”In a word - Jacob, who is good at swordsmanship and holding a long sword, won the final winner of that martial arts competition in a state of almost no injury.”
”Jacob's exquisite swordsmanship left a great shock to the spectators present.”
”When he was young, Jacob was a handsome man.”
”A beautiful man with both talent and appearance has done something with his excellent talent - this has always been one of the favorite themes of bards.”
”Since the end of the martial arts competition, Jacob, who was only 17 at that time, began to become famous with the help of minstrels.”
”The name 'sword saint' was actually taken by bards for him.”
”With the enthusiasm of the minstrels, Jacob's name as the 'sword saint' has been spread further and further.”
”At that time, the whole people of pandragon knew the figure of 'sword saint' Jacob.”
