Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 29
"Why must it be a foreign knight?"

"I don't know about this, but Sir Wilder indeed ordered so, if you are willing to accept this task, I can take you to find them tomorrow."

"Take us to find them?" Ian's heart was full of alarm bells. He gave Luo Er a look and signaled him to close the door.

This is so suspicious. A group of knights formed an alliance. In order to eliminate a gang of thieves that was not mentioned in the original book, they asked the proprietress of the Crossroads Inn to help them pay attention to the "outlander knights".

You must know that according to the characteristics of players appearing out of thin air, they are considered "outland knights" wherever they go at this point in time, which makes the whole story of Martha look like a trap to lure other players.

Although it is impossible for players to establish such a large force on the first day of the game, the so-called property knight alliance is just what Martha said, and Ian didn't see it.

Maybe this is just a trick made up by a certain player who set up this trap, in order to reduce the vigilance of the target.

After receiving Ian's signal, Luo Er immediately got up and closed the door of the room.

"This? Sir Lucian?" Martha was very surprised, she gave Roll a strange look, "Three Sirs, if you need anything, we have many good girls in our store, I can wake them up now they."

"Don't worry, we're not interested in you or your good girls," Ian shook his head lightly, "I'm interested in those knights you mentioned."

"Sir Wilder and the others?"

"Yes, Wilder, it doesn't matter what you call it," Ian shrugged, "Where are they?"

"Sir Wilder and the others? They are all in Sir Willy Ward's manor at the moment."

"The manor of the Ward family?" Ian hesitated for a moment. He thought that the other party was also in this inn, and he was ready to act first.

Unexpectedly, Martha said that they were not here, and even mentioned a specific name.

He has heard of the Ward family. This is a knight family loyal to the Hean family of Harrenhal. Its fief is indeed not far from here. Their family emblem is painted with three white birds on a yellow background. Porcupine, the native language is "untouchable".

And the Sir Willie Ward that Martha said, in the original book, he will help Caitlin Tully arrest the "little devil" Tyrion Lannister in this inn in the future, and escort them to the valley.

"That's right, Sir Willy's estate is at the border between the riverlands and the king's land, less than half a day's ride away from here." Martha continued hastily.

"And you said that I will take us to find them tomorrow, that is to go to their manor?"

"That's right, that's what Sir Wilder ordered. He ordered me to help him gather as many knights from other places as possible within a week." Martha nodded, very cooperatively telling everything she knew. She knew why, but she instinctively felt a sense of oppression from the knight in front of her.

"I hope you didn't play any tricks with me." Ian said, thinking about various possibilities.

"Tricks? I'm sorry sir, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"Do you know the Sir named Wilder?"

"Yes, Sir Wilder Reg is a local lord, how could I not know him?" Martha said hastily.

Local lord?I remember it should be Darry here.
No, although this was the territory of the Darry family in history, most of the Darry family's territory was deprived after the fall of the Targaryen dynasty. It seems that the place at the crossroads was later entrusted to the Reg family?It is indeed mentioned in the original book that there is such a family of knights in the riverland.

But experience tells Ian that the more it sounds real, the more likely it was made up by the players.

"You're lying!" Ian slammed the table, and at that moment he made up a new story.

"What are you talking about, sir?" Martha looked terrified and confused.

"We came here to hunt down a fugitive who escaped from King's Landing. He is a bandit who set up an ambush to rob and kill other knights under the guise of issuing missions!" Ian said while observing Martha's reaction.

"Eh?" Martha blinked her eyes, "You just said that you guys are not busy, since you still have tasks, then I won't bother you?"

"Not long ago they killed a knight of our Lannister family in the tavern in King's Landing, a young knight who was loved by the queen," Ian did not respond to Martha, but continued, "The queen is very angry. The fugitive offered a bounty of 50 golden dragons, and if he provided a clue, he could get 100 silver stags."

"Oh!" Martha screamed immediately, and then quickly covered her mouth.

"We chased him all the way to this place. If he came here, it should be today. Have you ever seen a similar guy? If you can provide me with really valuable clues, I can give you half of the bounty. "Ian said as he piled 20 gold dragons on the table one by one.

"Is it today?" Martha looked at the golden dragon on the table with bright eyes, and swallowed.

"So you really saw it?" Ian narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, no, I haven't seen such a person today." Martha reluctantly looked away from the golden dragon, shook her head with some disappointment, and immediately added, "But I can help you find out, Lu Sir Theon!
I know many people, and the best informed people here are my old friends. If you give me a little time, as long as they are around here, I can give you an answer before noon tomorrow.Moreover, not only here, but also in the entire North Shore of God's Eye Lake, I can help you find people. As long as they enter this area, I can find clues! "

"Oh, that's right," Martha said as she seemed to remember what she had overlooked, "Is there any characteristic of the fugitive you are hunting? Maybe you can tell me in more detail, it will be very helpful for me to help you find someone helpful."

So is it me who is dead?Seeing Martha's reaction, Ian finally dispelled the doubt in his heart and smiled.

If what Martha said just now was really taught by a certain player, she would not hesitate to sell them at this moment in exchange for the golden dragon on the table, instead of promising to find out for herself tomorrow.

Well, since Sir Wilder and the others are not players, then the condition they asked to recruit foreign knights should be for some other reason, so I can accept their quest.
Wait, did I miss the point?

Martha What did she just say?
