Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 4 The Hedge Knight
'Ding! 'A reminder sounded in Ian's mind, waking him up from his deep sleep.

He raised his head and looked around in surprise.

This is an old inn room. The rickety bed, the darkened wooden table due to pollution, and the curtains that haven't been cleaned for a long time make this place look cheap.

There was a drizzle of drizzle outside the window, which did not bring much coolness, but made the weather even more sultry.

Ian only felt sticky and uncomfortable. He gently lifted the quilt, only to find that his whole body was soaked in sweat.

For some reason, Ian's brain suddenly twitched, and he bit his forearm fiercely. He didn't let go until the severe pain clearly entered his brain, and looked at the tooth marks on his hand with a wry smile.

This feeling is so real.

Although the organizers are well-known in the industry, I have never doubted their ability.

But when he really appeared in another world with another body, he still had a feeling of being too dreamy.

After sitting for a few minutes, Ian tried to force himself to calm down.

At this time, he suddenly found that there were some more memories in his mind. Although there were no specific characters and places in the memory, there was a complete story with the same background.

The clearest among them are some knowledgeable things, such as Ian’s previous life (let’s write it as the previous life before entering the game, because the entire content of this book takes place in the world of ice and fire) and those little nobles in the valley that have not been recorded. Coat of arms, the whole process of the Andal knights at the Templar's Vigil, and a little bit about riding and wielding a sword.

As the auxiliary AI said, having these memories is of great help in pretending to be a real hedge knight.

Hedge Knights, also known as Hedge Knights, whose only wealth is their equipment and horses, are so named because they often sleep outside under hedges.

Of course, the hedge knight who started as a player hadn't been so embarrassed, otherwise Ian wouldn't have chosen him.

Taking a deep breath, Ian climbed off the bed and walked to the window.

The sky outside was gloomy, and the thick gray glass reflected Ian's beautiful blond hair. He hurriedly opened the window, and suddenly a majestic tower appeared in view. The tall black tower Among the tall castles next to it, it still stands out from the crowd.

It's just that the top of the tower pointing directly at the sky is leaning to one side due to melting and deformation, looking like a huge and half-melted black candle.

"Is that... a melted stone? A masterpiece of Dragon Flame? This is Harrenhal?" The scene in front of him overlapped with the one in Ian's memory. He licked his chapped lips, feeling parched. .

Ian turned around and went to the table, picked up the kettle and poured it into his mouth. He immediately felt a faint spicy feeling and the aroma of wheat spread on the tip of his tongue.

Made!This is too unlucky!
Although it was right for me to choose the riverland at the beginning, but the riverland is so big, why does it have to be in Harrenhal?
Harren Castle is the largest fortress in Westeros built by the last king of the Iron Islands and the riverland, "Harron the Black", and exhausted the financial and material resources of the riverland for 40 years. '.

The walls here are thicker than Storm's End, and its gates are as big as Highgarden's main keep. Harron the Black claims that it is an 'impregnable stronghold'.

Yet just as some unbreakable alliance collapsed upon itself, so the impregnable walls and towers of Harrenhal fell not to ground forces but to the dragon ridden by 'Aegon the Conqueror' Black death 'Belerion' dragon flames fell from the sky.

In the end, Harun the Black was burned alive in the tallest tower together with all his children, and the half-melted black candle in Ian's vision was named 'Burning King's Tower' for this reason.

Since then, Harrenhal has been shrouded in the shadow of the curse. Not only have all the families entrusted to Harrenhal lost their children and grandchildren, but everyone who has occupied the castle in any form basically died in a miserable state.
"It's really bad luck." Ian wiped the cold sweat off his head with his cuff, and asked in his heart, "By the way, when did we start?"

"Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, has just died. King Robert Baratheon is preparing for his funeral, and plans to go to Winterfell after the funeral, and invite Ed Stark to come down to be the Hand of the King." Anne replied.

Ian nodded knowingly.

At the beginning of the original book of Ice and Fire, King Robert was almost at Winterfell, and now Robert is still in King's Landing.

The land distance from King's Landing to Winterfell is about 2300 kilometers [Note 1]. Considering that Robert's king drove on the King's Road, it should take about 2 months for him to arrive in Winterfell.

In other words, the current time is about three months before the start of the original book, which is the end of Aegon calendar 297.

This time is more than a year away from the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings in the later generations.

In other words, there is still more than a year of peace in Westeros.

This made Ian wonder again. When he signed up, the organizer promised that all the design of this game was prepared before the players crossed. Intervention of any kind (one that won't fix a bug if it's found).

So what kind of mechanism has the plan designed in advance so that players can give up peaceful development in peaceful times and choose to fight against other players?

You must know that in this kind of game, there is no fault tolerance rate in the early stage. If you are hacked, you will lose everything, so players should not choose to be tough in the early stage.

"Okay, AI, now tell me the detailed mechanism of this game." Ian asked his assistant AI with doubts.

"There are three main mechanisms in this game." Annie directly began to introduce,

"The first is the killing mechanism: every time a player is killed, 4 points will be obtained and all unused system resources (including points, attribute points, skill points and system props) of the killed will be inherited, and according to the development of the killed Get some extra rewards.

Among them, the player personally kills the target to obtain the full income, and the player's subordinates or other "employees" designated by the player kill the target, and the player only obtains 50.00% of the killing income. "

ps: According to the setting and official map of the original "The Great Wall of Desperation 100 Leagues (480 km)", the estimated area of ​​Westeros with the map is about 900 million square kilometers.

　Two data are left here for everyone to have a simple understanding of the size of the world of ice and fire. The land distance from Winterfell to King's Landing is about 2300 kilometers, which is roughly close to the distance from BJ to Shenzhen.The land distance from Winterfell to Castle Black is about 1100 kilometers, which is roughly close to the distance from BJ to Xi'an.
