Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 128 Green Valley City

Green Valley City is located in the upper reaches of the Lamboon River, with beautiful environment and pleasant climate.

When Summer Hall was still intact, the Targaryen royal family who went to Summer Hall to escape the summer usually stayed in Green Valley City to rest for a few days before continuing to Summer Hall, so Green Valley City also had the reputation of being a summer palace to accompany the city.

However, as Summer Hall was burned down by a fire and then abandoned, Greendale City also lost its former prosperity and became an ordinary border city in the Reach.

Later, it declined due to bandits. It was not until Lin Deqing eliminated the bandits and restored the navigation of the Mande River that Green Valley City recovered slightly.

The current lord of Green Valley City, Ewood Meidou, is a child of about ten years old. He only inherited the position of lord of Green Valley City a year ago.

When Linde was cleaning up the bandits east of Rose Avenue, he sent people to assist him and also provided some logistical supplies. Although he had not met in person, from this point of view, his relationship with Linde was not bad.

Before going to Green Valley City, Linde followed the official rules and wrote a letter to notify Green Valley City, and explained the reason and purpose of his passing through the territory of Green Valley City. He did not set off for Green Valley City until he received the reply from Raven. .

Because they were not going out to fight, but to patrol the territory, or to be more precise, they found an excuse to go out for fun, so Linde’s team did not move very fast, and it took more than ten days to arrive outside Green Valley City.

Ewood Medou, who had already learned from the patrol cavalry that Lind was about to arrive, led his bachelor and steward to wait at the gate of the north bank of Green Valley City. He looked nervously at the end of the road and looked at the station from time to time. Aunt Lysa Medou and uncle Olemo Tyrell were at the side.

Although Elwood Medou always kept his face calm, he was still extremely panicked in his heart, because both the bachelor and the steward had analyzed his current situation with him, and the only one who could help him was the Chosen One. The leader of the family is Lind Terra. Whether he can hold on to the Mei Dou family’s legacy depends entirely on the attitude of the God’s Chosen Lind towards him.

However, he was not sure about this, because the relationship between Lind Terra and the Tyrell family was well known, whether it was Willas Tyrell, the heir of the Tyrell family, or Garlan Tyrell, the second son. Lier, they all said on different occasions that they were very good friends with Linde. Even the Queen of Thorns, who rarely praised others, praised Linde several times.

Now, the Tyrell family wanted to annex his family’s territory, and he had absolutely no confidence that Lind Terra, who had no connection with him, would stand on his side and stop the Tyrell family from annexing.

“Here it comes!” Chief Harwin, who has good eyes, first saw the red-backed long sword flag that appeared at the end of the road, and then the neat teams of cavalry under the flag appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Among this group of knights, two huge war horses that were much larger than the other horses were extremely eye-catching, but what was even more eye-catching was a giant beast with changing black and white stripes next to the horse. This giant beast walked in the shadows, as if it were a shadow. Just like the incarnation, if it weren’t for the white stripes on its body flashing from time to time, perhaps no one would be able to notice it.

The team soon arrived in front of everyone, and Elwood was about to lead his maester and steward forward, but Aunt Lysa and her husband next to him were one step ahead and walked to the front of the team.

“Good afternoon, Lord Lynd Terra, I am Olemo Tyrell, and this is my wife Lysa Medou, the heir of Green Valley City. Welcome to our Green Valley City.” Olemo Tyrell led his wife to bow very attentively to Lind in the team, and introduced himself, consciously emphasizing his tone when calling his last name.

Looking at the couple approaching, Lind didn’t give any response. He and Nymeria dismounted, bypassed the couple, and came to the back of Ewood Medou, who was trying to appear calm. In front of him, he saluted him and said: “Baron Ewood, I am Lynde Terra, Earl of Summer Hall, and this is Nymeria Fudley, Earl of Tengshi Town. We thank you for your warm hospitality and allowing us to be here at night. Have a comfortable place to rest.”

Seeing Linde bypassing his aunt and uncle and taking the initiative to greet him was undoubtedly good news for him.

This also made him relax a little from his tense mood for the whole day, and then he tried his best to behave like an adult, bowed and said in return: “Lord Earl Linde, Lord Nymeria, your arrival has made Green Valley City flourish. Piper produces brilliance.”

At this time, the steward took out the prepared salt and bread.

Lind and Nymeria each picked up the bread, dipped it in a little salt, and ate it in their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Ewood, his bachelor, and steward couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then led the way, leading Lind and others to the castle of Green Valley City.

From the beginning to the end, no one paid attention to Olemo Tyrell and his wife. Both of their expressions were extremely pale. It was not until everyone else left that they turned around and entered the city, packed up their things, and took their people with them overnight. We left Green Valley City by boat.

Baron Ewood arranged for Lind and Nymeria to live in the manor on the south bank of Green Valley City. This was once the residence of the Targaryen royal family in Green Valley City, but it was later abandoned. After receiving a letter from Lind about to visit, Later, Baron Ewood cleared this place as Linde’s temporary residence in Green Valley City.

“Lord Ewood, you seem to be in a lot of trouble!” In the study room of the manor, Lind left Baron Ewood and his bachelor and steward who were about to leave, and then said very directly: “Your aunt is right It’s obvious that she covets the title of Green Valley City. She may give up today because of me, but I think it won’t be long before she comes back.”

Ewood looked at his maester, and then asked Lind: “Lord Lind, can you help me?”

“How do you want me to help you?” Linde asked.

Ewood said: “I would like to ask you to introduce me to Lord Vilas. I heard that Lord Vilas is an extremely just man. He has punished some evildoers in the family more than once in the past year and provided justice to the common people. The verdict was called the Golden Rose of Justice.”

Lind looked at Ewood calmly and said, “You want Villas to help you stop your aunt’s behavior, right?”

“Yes.” Ewood nodded and said, “Yes, I believe Lord Willas will not show favoritism because my uncle is from the Tyrell family.”

“Indeed, Willas will not show favoritism because the other party is a Tyrell.” Lind nodded and asked: “It is not a problem for me to introduce you to him, but the problem is how do you want to introduce yourself to him?” Willas accuse your aunt?”

“Of course it’s to accuse my aunt of trying to seize my title and territory.” Ewood said hurriedly.

Linde stared at the ten-year-old child in front of him and said, “If I were Vilas, I would ask you, what method did your aunt use to seize your title and territory?”

Ewood was stunned and said hurriedly: “She, she is scaring me.”

Lind smiled, turned to look at the bachelor advisor next to Ewood, and said: “You are Lord Ewood’s bachelor advisor, so tell me, can his aunt’s use of words to scare him count as her plot to seize Green Valley? Evidence of city territory and title?”

The maester fell silent and did not answer.

“She is still staying in the castle, and everyone will say that she is the heir of Green Valley City.” Ewood added: “Isn’t this evidence that she tried to seize Green Valley City?”

“Of course not.” This time it was not Lind who answered, but Nymeria on the side. “You have no descendants now, and no other brothers and sisters. Mrs. Lysa Medou is your closest blood relative. She She is also the first heir of Green Valley City after your death, so it is not wrong for her to call herself the heir of Green Valley City. As for her staying in the castle, it is not a big problem. She is the daughter of the Mei Dou family. It’s not a big problem to live with your own parents, but it’s you. If you accuse Mrs. Lysa for this reason, it will only make people think that you are narrow-minded. Even such a big castle cannot accommodate only one blood relative. “

Ewood was completely stunned. He didn’t expect that things would be so complicated. He thought that he only needed to see Vilas and tell him his troubles, and then Vilas would punish his aunt for him.

He never imagined that the final development of things might end up with him being notorious for being narrow-minded and intolerant of relatives and friends.

Lind looked at Ewood, then glanced at the bachelor and the steward respectively, and said: “Baron Ewood is still young and has not enough experience to understand the relationship, but the two men who followed the predecessor, Baron Green Valley City, After so many years, the two of you should not be able to see that there is nothing reprehensible in Lady Lysa Medou’s behavior. Why did you two ask Baron Ewood to go to Vilas to accuse Lady Lysa of her crimes?”

“Because we can’t think of any other way.” The manager said helplessly.

No wonder they are so helpless. Lysa Medou and Olemo Tyrell know very well where the bottom line is. They always stand within the bottom line and expand their influence in Green Valley City. Baron Ewood could do nothing about it, unless he forcibly expelled his aunt and uncle from the territory of Green Valley City, but in that case, his reputation would be ruined.

Originally, when he took the position of Lord of Green Valley City at such a young age, it was easy for him to arouse some covetousness. If his reputation was ruined, those who coveted his territory might not just remain on the sidelines like they are now. If at that time If his aunt cooperates with these people, not to mention his position as a baron, even his life may not be saved.

“I can tell you with certainty that even if you meet Willas and there is conclusive evidence that Lysa Mae Dou covets the position of Lord of Green Valley City, he will not be able to do anything.” Linde said with great certainty. : “It’s not because Lysa Medou’s husband is a member of the Tyrell family, but because as the heir of the Duke of Highgarden, it is taboo to interfere in the succession disputes of local lords at will.”

The steward of Green Valley City nodded when he heard this, while Baron Ewood was still a little confused. He didn’t understand why Vilas couldn’t help him even though he was the legal lord of Green Valley City.

The bachelor suddenly said at this time: “Actually, in addition to asking Lord Vilas to administer justice, we also thought of another way that might be useful, but we didn’t tell Lord Baron.”

“What can be done?” Baron Ewood asked hurriedly.

The bachelor looked up at Linde and said, “That is to ask Lord Linde to be your guardian and manage Green Valley City on your behalf until you reach adulthood.”

“Ah?” Baron Ewood couldn’t help being stunned. He didn’t expect that the bachelor consultant would come up with such a solution. If he didn’t really know how loyal the bachelor consultant was to him, he might have thought that the bachelor consultant had colluded with Linde. .

After hearing the other party’s proposal, Lind couldn’t help but froze. Although he had discussed matters related to Green Valley City with Nymeria, he had never thought of becoming the guardian of the lord of Green Valley City. They even Most of them just want to sign an offensive and defensive alliance with Green Valley City so that the army and caravans can pass through Green Valley City smoothly.

The steward also echoed the bachelor’s words and said: “We feel that Lord Baron can only grow up safely under your protection, Lord Linde, and you can also teach Lord Ewood how to fight and how to manage the territory. This method can be said to be a one-stop solution.” get more.”

Hearing that the manager also agreed with this approach, Ewood vaguely felt that this was a good idea, so he looked at Linde and wanted to ask Linde to become his guardian, or to be more correct, to adopt him as his adopted son. .

Although this method was very attractive, Lind had no intention of agreeing to them. Before Ewood spoke and made the matter irreversible, he spoke first and said: “You are just a little flustered by Lysa Medou, so you are thinking randomly. These unreliable methods, as long as you think about it calmly, you should know that the behavior of the Olemo couple is impossible to get the support of the Tyrell family. I can teach you a way to completely solve this trouble. “

“What can be done?” The steward and the bachelor asked at the same time.

Lind said: “The method is very simple, that is to find some people to spread some rumors, saying that the Tyrell family intends to use Lysa Mae Dou to plot to seize the Mae Dou family’s territory. As long as this rumor spreads, you do not need to take action. , the Tyrell family will take the initiative to help you solve the problem of Lysa Mae Dou to prove her innocence. “

Hearing Linde’s method, Ewood, the steward, and the bachelors could not help but be stunned. What they had thought of before was to find a powerful lord as a protective umbrella and borrow the power of others to protect themselves. They never thought that they could also use the method of spreading rumors. to solve the problem.

Although this method sounds simple, they can also see that the effect of this method must be very good. The things that have always worried them are no longer troubles, which makes their worries that have been hanging around for a year disappear. down.

It was precisely because of the change in mood and their gratitude to Linde that they did not reject the idea of ​​forming an offensive and defensive alliance proposed by Linde later. Instead, they readily agreed and even drafted the alliance that night. The covenant was signed.
