Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 40 The Ghost of the White Wall City ([-]) Asking for Tickets

"Actually, we just told Sir Lucian about the Blackfyre Treasure," Sir Granson added.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry." The adopted son Dorian suddenly looked very embarrassed.

"You have just lost someone closest to you. I feel for you very truly and deeply, and I forgive you for all your gaffes and doubts."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir."

"However. If you really want to avenge your adoptive father, you need to sit down now and cooperate with me to restore the truth of the matter."

"Truth, you mentioned that this room belonged to a knight of the Grafson family! He is the murderer, isn't he?" Dorian asked.

"The Grafson family of Seagull Town in the valley. Can you think of your adoptive father's connection with them?"

"Uh," Dorian thought for a while, then denied, "No."

"Then this clue can't bring us any conclusions for the time being. The murderer may have been a sworn knight who was loyal to the Grafson family, but he later revoked the oath and became a hedge knight, but took away the equipment.

It may also be that a hired knight just bought or seized such a set of heraldic equipment. The armor is different from the heraldic sword. Generally, few knights use the heraldic swords of other families, but the heraldic armor But they never refused, because the armor was too expensive, which didn't explain any problems. "

"I was rash, you ask, I will know everything."

Ian nodded in satisfaction, and then began to ask: "Why did Black Falcon come to this inn yesterday?"

"He didn't say, the adoptive father has always been strong, and we rarely ask why he ordered."

"So you don't know who he came here to see?"

"do not know."

"He lived in a room alone last night. Is this also his habit?"

"No, although the adoptive father is very strong in making decisions, he has no airs in life. He usually eats and lives with everyone, so I was puzzled when he asked for a single room by himself yesterday." Adopted son Dorian is lost in memories.

"You didn't ask him?"

"I dare not, ser."

"Didn't he wake anyone up in the big room you slept in before he went to see the murderer in the middle of the night?"

"No, Peel's sleep is very light." Adopted son Dorian pointed to a young man about 15 years old behind him who was about the same age as him. "If the adoptive father came, he would definitely wake up."

"In other words, even though Black Falcon brought so many of you to the inn, he still chose to meet the murderer alone? But he obviously didn't trust him, so he put on his armor before leaving ’” Ian asked.

"That is his favorite and the best set of armor." Dorian nodded in agreement with Ian's point of view.

"So their meeting is a secret, or they are going to discuss a secret, a secret that he doesn't even want anyone in the mercenary group to know, but he may tell you that you are his adopted son, isn't it? "

"He treats me as his own, but he didn't tell me any secrets!"

"Remember carefully."

Dorian took a big gulp of Xia Rihong into his stomach, and then recalled it. After a while, his expression obviously began to become anxious, and this anxiety lasted for a long time. He suddenly clenched his fists and slammed Cleared the table, then shook his head frantically.

"I don't know, I can't remember, I can't remember anything, maybe my adoptive father really said something, but I didn't take it to heart," Dorian said while crying, "Damn me , I can’t remember! Ah!” Finally, Dorian roared loudly, as if he wanted to release the depression in his heart.

"Crying can effectively relieve bad emotions, but blindly blaming yourself is useless. Your adoptive father is now dead at the hands of the enemy. You are no longer a young eagle sheltered under the wings. You must become a new black falcon yourself "Ian suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said patiently, I am really an excellent spiritual mentor.

"The new black falcon? But the mercenary group of my adoptive father has been taken away. Although I have many friends in the mercenary group, most of them are looking at the face of my adoptive father. If we really want to talk about it, now I am the third most powerful in the regiment, and I can't compete with Lame and Sir Harrison at all."

"But you can avenge your adoptive father, that's the first step." It's another fucking Sir, help, I can't tell whose name is whose name.

"But I can't remember what secret my foster father told me!"

"So I'll help you. You just need to tell me what you know, and I'll figure out the rest."

"I know? Are you referring to the Blackflame Treasure? Is your purpose still the Blackflame Treasure?!"

Why is the boy so smart?It's not easy to fool! "Will you believe me if I say no?"

Dorian shook his head.

"Then, when I covet the treasure of Blackflame, will you still ask me to help avenge your adoptive father?"

Dorian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with an unnatural expression.

"So why do you bother with such an insignificant issue? Black Falcon was murdered this time, and there is a high probability that it has something to do with the secret of the Black Flame Treasure. In the case that Black Falcon is already dead, it is a matter of condolences. If you are dead, you don’t have the capital to fight for the treasure, so what’s the harm in asking me to fight for it? You don’t want the people who killed your adoptive father to get it, do you?”

"You are really honest. Sorry, sir, I am too narrow. As long as you can help me avenge me, I am willing to tell you all the secrets I know. I don't know where to start? What do you already know? ?”

"Basically nothing." Ian shrugged. "So you need to tell me everything you know." Anyway, I'm free now.

"I don't know that information is important, otherwise. I told you from the beginning, and you can ask questions when you encounter the part that you think is important?"

"can."

"The beginning of the matter. Where is the best place to start? We were the first to fight against the Phantom Thieves in Whitewall City." The adopted son Dorian thought for a while and began to talk.

Ian looked at Granson suspiciously. He remembered that Granson clearly said that the first person to discover this robber group was Sir Wild Gray, the leader of the local property knights, but Granson just shook his head at him, Said that he did not know what Dorian was talking about.

"It's just that we didn't know such a bandit group existed at that time." The adopted son didn't notice Ian's movements, but continued, "That was four months ago, when a caravan came to Sir Harrison's house. The castle, oh, that's the main garrison of our mercenary regiment, just 15 leagues (72 kilometers) northeast of the ruins of Whitewall City, close to the King's Road."

Well, then this Harrison will be called 'Sir the Landlord', Ian thought to himself.
