Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 3 Background Overview
After confirming his bloodline occupation and growth path, Xia Ze set his sights on the last option - the starting location.

【Finally you came? 】

【Westeros, Essos, Sossos】

Looking at this option, Xia Ze couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He can understand Westeros and Essos, but what the hell is putting Sossos in it?

It was an uninhabited, poisonous place where even the greatest explorers could not survive.

If the player starts there, isn't it really a box?
After thinking about it, Xia Ze clicked on Westeros, mainly because the original book described this area in more detail. Xia Ze believed that he could develop better in the early stage with this knowledge reserve.

Then, more detailed places are displayed.

[Kingdom, Riverland, Stormland, Reach, Valley, Dorne, West, North, Iron Islands, North of the Great Wall]

This time Xia Ze chose the Hejian Land, mainly because it is well connected to all directions, and no matter where there is a competitive game, he can rush to it as soon as possible.

However, when Xia Ze was about to continue to choose a specific city, the system did not show the next option.

This surprised him a bit, because it meant that the player's specific starting point was random.

In this way, those players who have agreed to form an alliance cannot start in a city. They can only rush to their previously agreed meeting place after landing randomly.

Of course, this will not bring any advantage to Xia Ze, because the rendezvous will not take them a few days.

After confirming that the selected information was correct, Xia Ze clicked the OK button.

【Please enter your name】

"Name?" Xia Ze repeated, and then typed in [Ian].

【Please make your image】

"Eh? Can you pinch your own face?" Seeing the preview on the screen of a hedge knight in full armor, holding half a sword, and riding a tamed horse, Xia Ze was stunned for a moment, and then began to try to modify the knight's face .

After a while, Xia Ze realized that he really didn't have the talent for making faces, and the faces he made were as ugly as those in Qiqiu.

So he put his hope on the random generation. After 3 minutes of hard work, he finally clicked on the image of a typical blond Andal youth with good looks.

【Character generated】

Soon, a full backstory was sent to him.

[Background Overview:

You are of both the First Men and the Andals. (Strength +2, gain skill 'Common Speak')
Your father was a farmer in the valley, and your mother was a maid on the estate of a local estate knight.

281AC (Note 1), you were born into this world as the eldest son of your family, and your father named you Ian.This is an unusually warm end of winter, as if spring came earlier because of your birth.However, at the end of the year, the winter cold suddenly returned to Westeros, and there was heavy snow everywhere. This year, it was called the wrong spring. (starting capital + 200 Silver Deer)

When you were one year old, the Lord of the Valley, Jon Arryn, Duke of the Eagle's Nest, raised the rebellious banner and declared war on the Targaryen royal family. Your father was recruited by the local lord and took up arms and went to the south. return.

After the war, in order to repay the debt owed by your father to purchase equipment before the war, your mother had to sell the family mill, and then took you to the knight's manor to take care of you. You were loved by the knight's wife for being smart, She arranged for you to accompany his son who is the same age as you. (Spiritual power +1, gain the skills 'Etiquette Basics' and 'Common Language Reading and Writing Basics')
At the age of 11, you and your little master were sent to the earl's castle, and began to learn swordsmanship, horsemanship and lance from the instructor, and your performance was very good. (Strength +4, Dexterity +4, get the skills 'Basics of Swordsmanship', 'Basics of Horsemanship', 'Basics of Lance Riding')
Two years later, you defeated your young master in a joust and won the qualification to serve as a squire to a knight of the earl's family. (Strength +5, Dexterity +5, access to skills 'Elementary Swordsmanship', 'Elementary Riding Spear', 'Elementary Horsemanship')
At the age of 16, you shined in an operation against the high mountain clan in the valley, and your master canonized you as a knight after the war.That night, you completed a vigil in the sanctuary after anointing with the seven holy oils. (strength +10, agility +10, acquired skills: 'intermediate swordsmanship', 'intermediate cavalry', 'intermediate equestrianism')
Not long after, you got married to the daughter of the steward of the rich knight's manor. She was not beautiful, but you were extremely infatuated with her.

But on your wedding night, your former young lord broke into your new house drunkenly and led four guards. With the anger that he once lost to you, he announced to you that your bride is his leader. The people, he wants to exercise the divine power as a lord - the right of the first night.

However, the right of the first night, which originated from the tradition of the ancestors, had been abolished under the suggestion of his queen Alysanne as early as the fourth monarch of the Targaryen dynasty, "King Renrui" Jaehaerys I.

Therefore, you regard the other party's order as a provocation and humiliation, and you call out your servants and friends to come to support, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

After a fight, you killed your original little master and his guards, but your wife and companions also died in the melee.

The battle sparked a fire, and the manor where you spent your entire childhood was quickly engulfed in flames. You didn't have time to care about others, and you hurriedly packed up your belongings (a hand and a half sword without a coat of arms, a set of Heraldic old chain armor, a tame horse, 200 silver stags), fled the valley overnight, fled to the river, and started his career as a hedge knight]

The backstory is followed by detailed layout information:

[Ian: Strength 21, Dexterity 19, Mental Power 1
Skills: basic etiquette, basic reading and writing of common language, intermediate swordsmanship, intermediate equestrianism, intermediate spear riding]

(ps: The reading and writing skills of the same language will directly cover the oral skills, and only those who can only speak but are illiterate will show the oral skills)
"Reminder, the body used by the player is a bionic human that the organizer sent to this world. It appears out of thin air. The aborigines of this world will not have any memory of the player character." After confirming that Xia Ze had read the information, the AI ​​Annie spoke. road,

"However, the system generates a reasonable background story based on the player's custom choices. Players can obtain knowledge and memory related to the background, so that they can better integrate into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire with a new identity. "

"Is this quite humane?" Xia Ze nodded involuntarily. This thing is indeed of great help to the players. After all, even players who know the original works and history best, would not be interested in the real life details of a certain profession in this era. There are definitely still many omissions.

But this obviously also brings a problem, that is, it is more difficult for players to find each other. If the camouflage is good enough, maybe two players can't find it when they are sitting together in a tavern chatting happily The opponent is a player.

This is obviously contradictory to the receptionist's statement that players will fall into fierce competition and even kill each other at the beginning of the game.

From a planning point of view, if he wants players to kill each other at the beginning, he should not design this mechanism to help players hide their identities.

This is unreasonable, Xia Ze silently recorded this question in the small notebook in his heart.

"Now that you have completed all the processes in the creation stage, you only need to click the OK button to officially traverse." Anne reminded, "Although you cannot act in advance before all players have completed the traverse, you can take this time to understand Full game mechanics and support system functionality."

Xia Ze felt that what Anne said was quite reasonable. After all, the organizer had a regulation that one must enter the game before learning the detailed game mechanism.

If he used the preparation time to analyze the mechanism, then he would not waste a second after the official start.

Thinking of this, Xia Ze no longer hesitated, and directly clicked the OK button.

The moment he clicked on it, he suddenly felt as if he was melted, vision, hearing, and touch disappeared one after another, and the whole world turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.

Notes: 1.AC (Years after Aegon's Conquest) means "Years after Aegon's Conquest". The common calendar, also known as the Aegon Calendar.
