Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 202 Gals' Thumb
In the ancient age of heroes, Garth the Greenhand's eldest son, Garth the Gardener I, settled on this high hill on the banks of the Mander.

After thousands of years, it finally evolved into today's High Court.

The old glory lives on.

Although his descendants, the gardener family, have perished, the Tyrell family, who took their place and served as the chief steward of Highgarden for generations, did not deliberately choose to forget.

Today it is today.

The legend of the green-handed Garth still persists.

The topmost tower in Highgarden is still called "Galth's Thumb".

This "thumb" is also the center of Highgarden.

It stands to reason that the great council that King Joffrey will preside over will be held in this ancient tower, the same point from which so many chapters of history have begun.

Daylight gradually dimmed.

Except for the king himself and Margaery, all the other participants were present.

The atmosphere in the venue was very delicate.

Ser Aegon Levill, Captain of the Guards at Highgarden, led the House Tyrell guard on the left side, and the proud Guards guarded the right side.

The difference is clear, but the two sides exchanged guards.

Directly ahead of Ser Aegon Levill stood the venerable Lord Captain of the Kingsguard, Barristan the Bold.He was second on the left, and only the Archon of Loras was closer to the King than he was.

Naturally, the Guards all became members of the Tyrell family.

Sitting at the head is "Queen of Thorns" Olenna Redwyne.On the old lady's right is the heir of Highgarden, Vilas Tyrell.

After that came Garth the Stout, Steward of Highgarden, Garlan the Valor, Highgarden's second son, Lomis the Maester, and Ser Fertimo Crane the Master.

On the left-hand side of the main seat is headed by the consul of Loras Tyrell.

Behind Barristan the Fearless sat Beric Dondarrion, Earl of Blackport and Consul, Jacelyn Bywater "Iron Hands" Commander of the Guards, Thoros the Red Priest, and Leo Tyrell the Maester.

Six against six.

What a coincidence number, just like the hexagram issued by the king.

Of course, if King Joffrey and Margaery are counted, it happens to be seven against seven, which secretly coincides with the seven-pointed star that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Six, or seven?
"Queen of Thorns" Olenna Redwyne silently observed every expression on the other side, thinking in her heart how to respond in order to win the best interests for Highgarden.

Confrontation will undoubtedly not work.

During this half day, not only the soldiers and servants of Highgarden were planted with the king's dragonglass, but even the "Queen of Thorns" herself was not spared.

She also personally felt that magical power, as if it could heal everything and save death.

Coupled with the retreat of the city wall, the fireworks that exploded.

What Loras said was true.

King Joffrey is indeed powerful, and it is not scarce, countless times more than Aegon's dragon.

Revolt?

So stupid.The Tyrell family was able to bow their knees to the dragon king Aegon back then, survive and prosper to this day, and naturally they will not resist now.

Bend your knees again.What can I get?
The original obedience won the Tyrells Highgarden and all of the Reach.Of course, it is impossible to have such a good opportunity today, but there is still room for maneuver.

Luckily there was Margaery.Madame Olenna thought with emotion.

With the bond of marriage, the Tyrell family also has a bargaining chip to negotiate terms.Appropriately show weakness, ask for reasonable rewards and rewards, and grow slowly.

Although there is Sansa.

But Lady Olenna sees herself as a better ally or partner than the icy Duke Stark of the North, trusting the proud king to know which side is more important.

She also believed in Margaery's beauty and small brain.Maybe conquer the king from the other side?

The "Queen of Thorns" closed her eyes and rested.

In any case, we have to pass tonight's level first.Formal talks, what does King Joffrey want?
The air is quiet and tangled.

Everyone in the field has deep thoughts and secret calculations, with different ideas and attitudes.

The only thing in common is eagerness and doubt:
Why hasn't the king come yet?
After a long time of shouting and shouting, people finally waited until the waiter shouted: "Your Majesty is here~"

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Joffrey hugged Margaery and sat on his exclusive throne, "Excuse me."

12 people are seated one by one.

Joff smiled inside, looking first at his fellow man on the left, then at the newcomer on the right.

"Ms. Olenna, the flames of war in the Seven Kingdoms are about to reach their peak, and the military affairs are busy, so we have to hurry up and start the talks on the first day we meet. Don't mind."

Olenna Redwyne said in a weak voice, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Highgarden understands your difficulties. We are one family."

Joffrey smiled slightly.

"Indeed, I'm the one who met someone else. As a family, what else can't we talk about?"

He then sighed, looking sad.

"To tell you the truth, the royal family is currently facing unprecedented difficulties."

Olenna Redwyne knew it was going to bleed.

Joffrey wrenched his fingers and counted them one by one, "There are too many financial debts and high expenses, and Uncle Tyrion complains every day, saying that the royal family is on the verge of bankruptcy and will use up the last copper coin at any time.

There is not enough food either.In order to feed the many refugees who fled into the city, the grain storage in the Red Castle was almost empty, and the price of food was still rising all the time.

To make matters worse, war has spread across the Seven Kingdoms.

The savages and strange ghosts outside the Great Wall of Desperation are watching. Once they see the opening, they will immediately break through and go south.

Lady Lysa of the Vale was sick with worry, so sensitive that she regarded the royal family as an enemy.

Needless to say, the chaos in the Stormlands.

Donne has always been dissatisfied with Wanghua, and now he is ceding land to stand on his own, and the country is about to be split.

Even the Reach,"

Joffrey glanced around at the crowd.

"There are also two rebel groups, Earl Rowan of Ancient Oak City and Sir Fossoway of Tunshi Town, making trouble!"

Everyone was stunned.

Gaoting has surrendered, is the army in Ancient Oak City and Tengshi Town still a problem?
Joffrey looked forward, "Lady Olenna, the royal family needs High Court, and the kingdom needs High Court. As long as you lend a helping hand to save the disaster, the people of the Seven Kingdoms will thank you for your kindness and generosity."

Olenna Redwyne coughed twice, "Your Majesty, please do as you please."

Joffrey seemed a little embarrassed.

"Although it is difficult to speak, but to restore the current situation, 200 million golden dragons, 500 million tons of grain and the entire army of Gaoting must be dispatched."

The faces of the Tyrells changed, and they could hardly bear to stand up directly.

Is this going to evacuate High Court? !

Margery's lips moved, but she didn't open her mouth.

The "Queen of Thorns" nodded calmly, "For the sake of the Seven Kingdoms and for His Majesty, Gao Ting is obliged to do so."

Joffrey was slightly surprised, but soon turned into a sincere smile.

"Mrs. Olenna is really a hero among women! She is quite the style of everyone, no wonder even the Duke of Metz listens to you the most."

He clapped his hands, and a guard stepped up behind Vilas.
