Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 83 Dickon Tully
If you are familiar with Highgarden, you will know that this is a very common party. The main guests are the Earl of Arbor Island and Earl Tully. The members of the Rose family, except Loras, basically come out to entertain the guests.

But for Dickon Tarly, it was very unusual.

Not to mention that his stern and cold father, Lando Tarly, hardly let him come to Highgarden, but the tournament champion Arthur Bracken he met at the party was enough to make him excited.

This is the champion of the martial arts competition in the whole continent, and also the champion of the spear riding competition and the team battle.

Based on these two points, there must be Arthur in the bard population of later generations.

The elders have their circles of elders, and the young have their circles of young people.

Dickon and many of the Reach boys gathered around the Redwyne twins, listening to them brag about how Arthur had saved Loras by hammering off the greatsword of the Mountain with several blows.

"At that time, my heart was in my throat, thinking about how the fallen Loras could escape from the great sword of the Magic Mountain, and then Mr. Arthur appeared with that peerless hammer."

Huo Bo spit and spit, and described his feelings at that time with some exaggeration.

Just talking continuously made him thirsty, so he grabbed a glass of his own fine wine and drank it.

The audience around were just aroused and heard the excitement, but they could only watch Huo Bo's Adam's apple slide up and down and listen to him gurgling down the drink.

In order to avoid silence, his brother took over his words:

"At that time, everyone in King's Landing was shocked. No one believed that Mr. Arthur could rescue the Knight of Flowers. After all, the Devil's Mountain had a bad reputation, but after only a few confrontations, the Devil's Mountain fled because his great sword was captured Mr Arthur's hammer broke."

"And unlike the stupid people in King's Landing, I knew it was only a matter of time before the Magic Mountain lost the moment Mr. Arthur appeared on the stage. My vision has always been accurate."

Most of the river bend nobles let out a voice of surprise, regretting that they could not be present to witness such a famous scene.

But someone asked Horace curiously, "Why did you think so in the first place?"

Arthur, the protagonist in their mouths, was eating a plate of grapes. After hearing this, he replied vaguely:

"Because he was hammered by me, and he knows that under my hammer, everyone is equal."

Everyone laughed, Horace's face turned slightly red, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

Dickon looked at Arthur with complicated eyes. He really yearned for such a life of becoming famous in one battle and then being sought after by everyone.

He also longed for Arthur to be in such a free state. He heard that he was a minor nobleman, but he could go to King's Landing and Highgarden to play.

Dickon couldn't do it himself, he was still young, and his strict and serious father would only let Dickon follow him obediently, and would not let him leave Horn Hill to wander around the continent.

"If only I could follow Lord Arthur for a while!" He sighed softly.

Someone encouraged: "Mr. Arthur is here, Dickon, you can ask directly."

Dickon's serious face was somewhat melancholy, "But my father won't let me leave the territory to take risks."

Arthur heard this conversation, and looked at Hopper with some doubts, wondering who this young and serious guy was.

"This is Randall Tarly's second son, Dickon Tarly." Hopper whispered to Arthur.

Arthur laughed, and some of the unhappiness caused by Randall Tully in the morning disappeared immediately.

Dickon is the second younger brother of Fatty Sam, the night watchman. He was raised by Randall as his heir since he was a child, and his military quality is very high.

Randall himself was a famous general in the world. During the War of the Usurper, he defeated Robert, who had won three of the previous three battles, at the Ashford at the junction of the Stormlands and the Reach.

Although it was only a battle of a few thousand people, it was enough to show Landau's military command ability.

How could the heirs he cultivated that he focused on be poor?

At least he is an excellent military commander.

In Arthur's team, there is a shortage of such people.

He put down the plate, pulled Hopper's silk sleeve and wiped his mouth, then walked quickly to Dickon, and whispered:

"I heard that you want to go on an adventure with me for a while, so I formally invite you to take a tour of my territory."

Let's abduct this Dickon and get him to the riverland first.

In a few weeks, Tywin will lead a main force of [-] Lannisters to garrison the Golden Road. At that time, the connection between the Reach and the north will be cut off, and it will be difficult for Dickon to go home.

Dickon, who had a long face and serious expression, suddenly became excited, "I... I'm not ready for this, and my father won't agree to it."

His expression visibly changed from excitement to decadence.

Arthur glanced back at the Governors of the River Bend surrounded by the Duke of Mace and the Queen of Thorns on the other side of the hall, found Randall Tully, and after confirming that he didn't pay attention to this side, he quickly said:

"How old are you, do you still want your father's permission? Even if he doesn't agree, you can sneak out."

However, Dickon looked very conflicted, hesitating and hawing but he couldn't say anything.

Most of the young nobles in the surrounding Reach knew about the situation at Dickon's house.

In order to pick a suitable heir, Randall Tally would rather send his eldest son Sam to the night watchmen in the far north to suffer, which shows that he is stubborn and ruthless, and has a strong desire to control.

With such a father, how could Dickon be happy in childhood and now?
So they repeatedly persuaded Dickon to make his own decisions and go out with Arthur, a legendary warrior, for a while.

Arthur thought for a while, and then whispered: "Your brother, Sam, is currently in the night watchman team in the north. With his character, those night watchman brothers who want to come to him often make things difficult for him. You can go and see him, By the way, use your noble status to support him and make his life more comfortable."

Fatty Sam did not have a good life when he first arrived at the Great Wall. Several night watchmen often bullied him, but after the kind Jon Snow helped him teach these people, Sam still had a good life.

Of course, Arthur would not tell Dickon these things, he just needed to get this man under his command.

"I really miss my brother. He has a very good personality." After Dickon said this, he looked at each other for a long time with Arthur who was looking forward to him.

When both of them were a little embarrassed, he finally made up his mind.

"I'll go with you. When my father and I go back to Horn Hill tomorrow, I'll sneak out."

The Horn Hill of the Tully House is just a few tens of leagues south of Highgarden, and it is only about a day's ride away.

Arthur was also very happy to see Dickon being so strong, so he conspired with the son of the famous Riverbend general in a hall in Randall Tully on how to meet up.

The final result of the discussion was that after Dickon returned home, he would sneak out at a time when his father didn't care, and ride north to join Arthur.

Calculated according to the distance of Horn Hill, Dickon will arrive at the banks of the Mander River two days after leaving home, and Arthur should start his journey north by then.

But the time when Dickon leaves home is not certain. Maybe Randall will always ask his son to be by his side, so that Dickon can't find a chance, so Arthur and him agree to meet at the Bridge of Bitterness.

Bitter Bridge is located at the intersection of Rose Avenue and the upper main branch of the Mande River.
