Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 124 Attendant? proton

The conversion of the Iron Islands ultimately failed due to the intervention of the Duke of the North, and the Bishop of Lannisport’s Seventh Cathedral looked at Lord Eddard less friendly.

As the saying goes, cutting off a person’s wealth is like killing one’s parents. If King Robert were to promote the conversion of the Iron Islands, then the Church of the Seven Holy Saints in Lannisport, which is closest to the Iron Islands, would naturally be the core executor of this matter.

At that time, as long as he makes some achievements as a bishop and publicizes it within the church, it is not impossible for him to become the archbishop of King’s Landing.

For this reason, he took advantage of Linde’s visit to the Seven Sacred Church to pray, and met with Linde specifically. In exchange for supporting Linde in church affairs, he got Linde’s proposal at the banquet to let the Iron Islands reform. Letter of proposal.

It’s not like he hasn’t thought about asking Duke Tywin to make this proposal, but Duke Tywin is too sophisticated and will definitely see the difficulty of this matter. If he goes to him, whether he agrees or not is not a matter of concern. The most important thing is that Even if he agreed, he would probably have to pay a high price.

So it was perfect to find Lynd, the Chosen One who was very popular with King Robert.

After Linde showed that miraculous move, the bishop was stunned like everyone else, and he vaguely felt that Linde, the chosen one of the Seven Gods, was not just in name.

Later, he could also see that Robert was tempted by Lind’s proposal, but was stopped by Eddard Stark. How could this make him not hate Eddard Stark.

Duke Eddard didn’t know that his unintentional move had made an enemy for himself, but even if he knew it, he didn’t care. In his opinion, everything was for the good of the kingdom, even if he offended people.

After announcing the punishment against the Iron Islands, the matter did not end immediately. King Robert required all the heirs of the lords and nobles of the Iron Islands to be adopted by other nobles and become adopted sons and daughters. Those adult descendants will also serve as knights and attendants for the sake of the Iron Islands. Other lords and nobles serve for five years.

As a person who understands this period of history, Linde has also discovered that the current Ironborn rebellion is very different from the history in his memory.

In his memory, the coalition forces of King Robert and Duke Eddard invaded the main castle hall on Pyke Island, Balon Greyjoy surrendered, and King Robert sentenced him on the spot. Duke De took Theon away and adopted him as his adopted son, while the other islands of the Iron Islands did not suffer much damage.

However, in reality, when attacking Pike City, the counter-rebellion coalition discovered that Balon Greyjoy had summoned all the lords and nobles of the Iron Islands to Pike City for some reason. As a result, they were all wiped out, not only Greyjoy. The Joy family were all captured, and even the lords and nobles of other islands were captured. Only some minor nobles remained on their respective islands because they were not qualified.

With so many people arrested, naturally they cannot be sentenced hastily in the Iron Islands. They can only be taken back to Lannisport and dealt with slowly. Moreover, King Robert at the time was probably rushing to eradicate the weeds, so he took these people away. All the heirs of the lords and nobles were captured.

As a result, due to various changes, it has become like this. All the descendants of the lords of the Iron Islands have to be scattered to other lords and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to be used as hostages.

Lynde waited until Grand Maester Pycelle read Dagon Harlaw, then walked out, saluted Robert, and said: “Your Majesty, when I captured Dagon Harlaw, he personally requested Serve me because he was an important prisoner of war at that time. I did not agree and said that I need to wait until your Majesty has finished your sentence before I can accept his request. Now I think it is the time and I hope your Majesty can allow him to be under my command. Effectiveness.”

After Linde’s words came out, everyone in the Iron Islands couldn’t help but look at Dagon Harlaw, with a hint of contempt in their eyes. Even his father Rodrik Harlaw frowned. brow.

Dagon Harlaw also felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by the people of the Iron Islands, but he quickly returned to normal, stood up, walked to Lynd’s side, saluted Robert and said: “Your Majesty, what Lord Lynd said It’s a fact that I did request to work under him that day.”

For Dagon, working under Linde was much better than being a squire for an unknown noble.

Robert heard this, thought for a moment, and asked Grand Maester Pycelle, “How many others are there?”

Grand Maester Pycelle looked at the list, then at the children standing in the crowd, and said, “Your Majesty, there are also a pair of children from the Greyjoy family and a child from the Blackteas family on Kuroshio Island. Boy. But the leader of Blacktys is dead, and he is the only heir.”

“Even if he is the only heir, he must accept the punishment. After accepting the punishment, he can go back to inherit Kuroshio Island. I think no one should dare to snatch the territory and title that belongs to him.” Robert’s eyes changed from iron to iron. The lords of the islands swept over them, giving them a warning, and then said to Lind: “Since you made the request, the two boys from the Harlaw family and the Blacktail family will be handed over to you.”

Linde was stunned. He didn’t expect Robert to give him two people at once. He had no objection to this. After responding, he was ready to leave.

“Wait, Bear Hunter,” Robert stopped him again and said, “I remember that the eldest Greyjoy son seemed to have died in your hands, right?”

After hearing Robert’s words, Balon Greyjoy raised his head slightly and looked at Lind’s back, his eyes filled with hatred.

“Yes.” Linde could feel the eyes from behind, but he didn’t care and nodded.

Robert turned to look at Lord Eddard again and said, “I remember that their other son died at the hands of the Northerners, right?”

“Yes, it was Maron Greyjoy who was killed by Ser Jorah.” Duke Eddard stood up and responded.

Robert pointed to the two children standing beside Balon Greyjoy and said, “In that case, what about leaving his two remaining descendants to you?”

Lind was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to remember that only Theon was adopted by Eddard Stark. Asha should have been following Balon Greyjoy, but now things have changed because of him.

“Let Theon Greyjoy be my adopted son! The environment in the North is not suitable for girls to live in.” Duke Eddard quickly responded.

“Since Duke Eddard has chosen a boy, I will be responsible for the remaining Asha Greyjoy!” Lind replied: “I will accept her as a knight’s squire and teach her the thoughts of a knight. , spirit and skills, I hope that she can become a true knight in five years.”

“Female knight?” Not only Robert looked interested, but also the other noble lords around him looked surprised, looking at Linde as if he were looking at a court jester.

“I remember there hasn’t been a female knight in the history of Westeros, right?” Robert said with a smile.

“It didn’t happen in the past, and it may not happen now.” Lind said with a very serious look: “In fact, I have accepted a female attendant, she is Brienne of Tarth, and I see the light of a knight in her like never before. , she will definitely become a role model for knights in the near future.”

As Linde’s words came out, the scene was in an uproar. Everyone felt that Linde had been dazzled by the earl title and the territory of Summer Hall, and he would actually say that a woman would become a model for knights in the future.

King Robert raised his hand to stop everyone from talking, and then said to Linde very seriously: “Bear Hunter, although I, like others, do not think that a woman can become a model of knighthood, I still look forward to it. I look forward to it. Under my rule, the first female knight will appear in Westeros.”

“I don’t think she will let you down.” Linde said with great confidence.

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the queue of the Tyrell family. Dagon Harlaw and Baelor Blacktys followed and stood behind Lind.

Asha Greyjoy looked up at her father, and then stretched out her hand to straighten her brother Theon’s clothes. She raised her head slightly, holding back the tears that were about to fall, and walked behind Lynd, Baelor Blacktys’s beside.

At this time, Glory turned his head and glanced at Asha. Asha’s attention was quickly attracted by Glory, temporarily forgetting the sadness in her heart.

After dealing with the lords and nobles of the Iron Islands, the celebration banquet officially began. Food and wine from all over the world were served, and circuses and minstrels came from all over to perform.

Perhaps King Robert felt that such a performance was not satisfying, so he asked each lord to summon his knights to compete in front of the emperor, each showing his own fighting skills to warm up for tomorrow’s competition.

Linde originally did not like such a noisy banquet, but he did not leave. After all, leaving like this would be too rude and would make people feel that he was too aloof and pampered.

So he just asked people to bring Asha and the others back to the camp for resettlement, and at the same time brought Daisy and Rosso to attend the banquet. For them, such a banquet opportunity was rare.

When the knights showed off their fighting skills to King Robert and other great lords, Lind asked his servant for a glass of water, then walked to a relatively quiet place and enjoyed the food quietly.

“Same as last time, I can find you as long as you are in a quiet place.” Jaime Lannister, wearing gorgeous armor and a pure white cloak, put one hand on the sword at his waist and held it with the other. Holding a glass of wine, he walked towards Linde.

Beside him was his brother Tyrion, who, unlike Jaime, held a magnum in each hand.

Although Duke Tywin did not like to see his dwarf son, on this occasion, he had to bring his son to the banquet. After all, he was his only heir.

“Lord Jaime, Tyrion.” Lynde greeted.

“Bear Hunter, why do you call him Tyrion, but you call me Lord James?” James said rather dissatisfied.

“Because we are friends.” Tyrion raised his eyebrows proudly at James, then raised the wine bottle in his hand and said, “It’s a big deal for you to become the Earl of Summer Hall, why don’t you have a drink?”

“I don’t drink.” Linde raised the pottery cup in his hand and said, “Just drink water.”

Tyrion curled his lips and said, “You shouldn’t be a knight, you should be an ascetic in the church.”

“No, being an ascetic cannot satisfy my ambition.” Linde said with a smile.

James chuckled lightly and said, “Ambition? Doesn’t becoming an earl satisfy your ambition? How big is your ambition?”

Linde smiled and did not answer.

At this time, Garland came over from a short distance away. Seeing Lind and the Lannister brothers together, he said loudly: “Lord Lind, it turns out you are here. I have been looking for you everywhere.”

“Lord Garland.” Linde bowed to Garland.

“Lord Jaime, Lord Tyrion.” Garland said hello to the Lannister brothers.

“The second son of the Tyrell family,” Jaime greeted Garland in a frivolous tone, and then said, “I have heard about your brother. I heard that before he was crippled, he was a lance in the Reach. Master, it’s a pity that I didn’t get to see it.”

Garland smiled when he heard this and said: “My brother’s lance strength has been recognized by Prince Oberon of Dorne. If Lord James has the opportunity to go to Dorne, he can get confirmation from Prince Oberon. “As he said that, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said with a look of surprise: “Oh, that’s right! Dorne is a restricted area of ​​the Lannister family. If Lord James goes to Dorne, it is very likely that he will die. He was chopped into pieces before he even saw Prince Oberon. In that case, my lord, you wouldn’t even have a chance to be disabled.”

Hearing Garland’s counterattack, Lind couldn’t help but laugh, and James just raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

On the contrary, Tyrion looked at Garland with interest and said, “As expected of the grandson of the Queen of Thorns, his words are all thorny.”

Garland smiled and said: “Lord Tyrion, I think if someone laughs at your figure, you should fight back.”

Tyrion nodded and said, “I apologize for Jaime’s rude words just now.”

Garland also responded: “I also apologize for my words just now.”

James turned his head to the side, as if pretending not to hear anything.

Garland looked at Linde, his eyes fell on the sword of the Lost Knight on Linde’s waist, and asked: “Master Linde, I heard from Master Fotimo that the two swords on your body are tiles.” Made of Rylian steel, can I see it?”

As soon as Garland finished speaking, both James and Tyrion looked at the sword on Lind’s waist, their eyes wide open, full of surprise.

Valyrian steel has a special attraction for the Lannister family. In the past, the Lannister family also had a Valyrian steel sword named Lighthowl. When Tommen II was exploring Valyria, which was destroyed by the Doomsday Catastrophe, he disappeared with Tommen II and the Golden Fleet.

There have always been two theories about the whereabouts of Lighthowl. One is that it was stolen when Tommen II’s golden fleet docked in Volantis for supplies, and the second is that it has traveled with Tommen II. Falling into Valyria with the Golden Fleet.

For a long time, the heads of the Lannister family have been searching for the whereabouts of Light Howl along these two clues. Even now, Jaime and Tyrion’s uncle Gillian Lannister are preparing for a voyage to Val. Lelia searches for the whereabouts of the ancestral Guangxiao.

Their father, Duke Tywin, even wanted to spend a lot of money to buy Valyrian steel swords from some nobles who owned Valyrian steel, or to forge Valyrian steel into a new Lighthowl, but no one was willing. sell.

Now that Garland knew that the two swords on Lind’s waist were Valyrian steel swords, how could they not be surprised.

“Bear hunter, where is our bear hunter?” Just when the two of them were about to ask Lind to take a look, King Robert’s voice came from the field not far away.
