Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 108 Sparrow
There is a Wende River in the imperial forest in the south of the king's land, and the river flows into the Black Water Bay from south to north.

Near the estuary on the east bank of the Wende River, there is an obscure beach village. More than 300 villagers live here, fish and farm, and pay taxes to the knights sent by the Mallory family on time. Their lives are peaceful and peaceful.

14-year-old Quill is not willing to stay in the village for the rest of his life.

Sitting on the wrinkled and scratched rock on the top of the cliff, facing the whirling waves below, Quill patted his chest and boasted.

"One day, I will also put on white armor, ride a good horse that has never plowed a field or load wheat, and hold a steel sword forged in a castle, and be a very good knight !"

He turned his head and stared straight at the girl beside him.

"I won't be like old John Cavalier, who will only ride around collecting rents and extorting our poor people's coppers. There is going to be a war, and I will go to the battlefield and fight with real swords and guns, and be a real knight!"

Quill blushed a little, but his dark skin covered his changes, "If you want me to say, only a real knight is worthy of a girl like you, Jane, what a beautiful name, just like in the story Just like the Jenny in the city, the one in Wild Rock."

The sea breeze was strong, and Jane kept combing her long brown hair with her fingers, just smiling.

Quill stared at the girl in his heart bewilderedly.

In the whole village, Jenny is the most sought after girl, and men in their teens and 20s, even married wives, take extra care of her.

Every smile and every movement of her is so charming, bringing the most beautiful colors to the boring village, allowing the boys to have the best sleep and wake up full of energy every day.

What Quill is most proud of is being able to ask Jenny out to be alone, which is the only one.

Even though Janie hadn't agreed to his advances, just sitting here looking at the girl of his dreams, with her long brown hair brushing her cheek or the tip of her nose now and then, was enough to keep him entertained for a week.

Quill is confident.

Jenny's father said that only knights are worthy of his beloved daughter, and whoever can become a knight first will marry Jenny.

The other boys in the village are all cowards. They usually follow the adults to go fishing or work in the fields. They only know how to cast fishing nets and drive the plow horses, and they don't know how to fight with swords.knight?Forgive them for not daring to think about it!
Although Quayle himself is similar, he has long planned.

Now is a good time.Lord Renly of the Stormlands has betrayed the King of King's Landing and is gathering men to seize the Iron Throne.The king definitely needs lots and lots of people.

Quill has decided to go north to King's Landing in a few days to serve the king.

The king is the master of the Seven Kingdoms, and he will surely win against Lord Renly in the south.At that time, he will fight a few good battles and cut off a few heads himself. It is not easy to become a knight.

Isn't that the case with so many stories?

The battle of Ruby Shoal, the battle of Midsummer Hall, the dance of blood dragons, and the rage, how many people became famous in it, and how many legends have been passed down since then.

Anyway, no one cares about me. The uncle who took care of me the most also went out to sea with the big ship a few days ago, and it is estimated that he will not come back for a long time.Just bring some dry food and you can start at any time.

Quill once told everyone about his decision. He wanted to gain a few companions and let people see how brave he is.

Unfortunately, neither of these goals was achieved.

The adults were not interested at all, they even laughed and looked contemptuously. Some of the partners were moved, but they were all beaten and scolded by their parents and dragged back.

Quill was very puzzled, everyone's reaction to the war seemed to be different from the one in the story.

Especially older people.

As soon as they heard that Lord Renly was rebelling, the old people in the village were terrified. They looked outside the village all day long, asking every passerby and merchant for news, as if they were afraid of being attacked by the army.

How could the army value such a small place as Tantou Village?
Quill was sure.Tantou Village is so inconspicuous. It only communicates with a few neighboring villages and towns. The vendors passing by are all sad, and often complain that they have come to the wrong place, that they cannot receive any special products, and that the goods cannot be sold.

Although Quill himself hadn't traveled far, he was already tired of everything in Beachhead Village.

It's too quiet here, just like a fish tank, the water surface has no waves, and when you get close to it, it's fishy and smelly, and the fish are lying half dead on the bottom of the water, without any thoughts, just waiting to be pulled out and killed.

Besides, I can't even make such a fish.

Quill didn't understand a lot, but he knew that an orphan without the support of adults would not be safe in the village.

Quill had no farming land, no fishing boats, and no serious jobs.

Everyone in the village is working hard to fill their stomachs, so how can they hire people to work?Only big places have a place for people like themselves.

But he had no chance before, so he could only hang out in the village.

Without copper coins, he can only wander around the beach all day long, picking up some broken shells, crabs and small fish, and then go to the village houses to cook their own ingredients.

He really had no food to eat, so he stayed at his uncle's house for a few days, and endured the difficulties of that woman who never had a good face, but there was nothing he could do.

It's been a rough day.Fortunately, there is still Jenny in the cold village.

Quill quietly moved his butt, bringing himself closer to the girl he loved, and then a little closer.

Jane didn't dislike him as an orphan. Her smile was his greatest comfort these years, which made him live until now.

Even if it's just for her, Quill must become a knight.

Jane finally spoke, "The wind is getting stronger and stronger, I should go back, mother still needs my help."

Quill stood up quickly, "I'll see you off."

Quill lived in an abandoned hut by the cliff, but he insisted on sending Jenny home every time. It was one of the dozens of houses in the village below. It was lively, with a barn, a fish box, and no air leakage.

Seeing the combination of Quill and Jane, the people along the way laughed and hated it, and even shouted "real knights" and "pure Jane".

Quill never paid any attention to this.

When they arrived at the front room of Jenny's house, a tall and thin figure slowly walked out of the door. He turned to look at Quill, his eyes were cold and firm, as if he was not looking at a person, but something else .

Quill knew him, the gray-haired old man in the old woolen robes, a wandering monk who had been visiting the village for days.

Many children re-named the old man again, and some people came to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.

The monks would also preside over the wedding. Quill had thought about the wonderful wedding scene between himself and Jane, but unfortunately, the monk might have left long ago.

Quill was surprised that the old monk had given people so many names, but only let them call him "Sparrow".

Sparrow, what a simple and common word.

hum~
There was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the village.

Quill looked up.

The sparrow prayed devoutly: "Holy Mother, have mercy, and bless this village, at least bless this one."

Quill looked at the sparrow in bewilderment, wondering why he was so.
