Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 32 The Lion in White Harbor
On the third day after Clay convinced his old man, White Harbor received a raven from Winterfell.

Although Clay, who was looking for Maester Theomo to learn about some of the material reserves, was the first to see the letter tied to Raven's foot, he did not open the letter himself, but brought Maester Theomo with him. , and handed the letter to Earl Wyman.

Stepping on the stone steps that rotate up one after another in the tower, the light spots from the archery hole hit them one after another. Clay found that he seemed to have never carefully looked at this building that was not established for a long time. Family Castle.

The old man's study room is on the main castle tower 20 meters above the ground. This white tower is the thickest and most obvious in the entire tower group, and the most gorgeously decorated and carved white tower has a very famous name - Sea God Tower.

Clay looked at the staggering bachelor beside him. Around his neck was a necklace with two metal clasps made of various metals.

Black iron, red copper, gold, silver, fine steel, etc., each represents a different kind of knowledge, for example, black iron represents raven science, red copper represents history, silver represents medicine, etc. .

He was a little surprised that a bachelor should occupy a very important position in a noble family, but after returning home for so long, Clay, who stood by and observed, found that this Bachelor Theomo was pushed out of the family intentionally or unintentionally. core business.

The bachelor was a little old, and it was very difficult for him to go up the stairs. Clay had no choice but to slow down his pace and follow the pace of the old bachelor.

"Maester, have you ever been to Harrenhal? How does our Newcastle in White Harbor compare with it?"

It was awkward not talking all the time, so Clay brought up a topic.

The old bachelor took a breath, glanced at Clay with his two emerald green eyes under his sparse pale golden eyebrows, and replied in a low voice:

"If you're asking me about the scale, the seven or eight new castles combined can probably make out the outline of Harrenhal, but it's a ruin after all."

This answer was beyond Clay's expectations. He had never been to Harrenhal, and he had never left the northern border even after returning to Westeros. In his opinion, this new castle was already beyond the standard. Seven or eight It is only as big as Harrenhal, so how big should Harrenhal be?
"Herron the Black Heart squeezed the riverlands for decades before building the largest fortress in the entire Seven Kingdoms. If it weren't for Aegon Targaryen's Dragon Flame, it should still be the most magnificent castle in the Seven Kingdoms. gone."

I don't know if the old scholar didn't want to talk more about this topic, or he didn't like to talk to himself, so he shut up after a few simple sentences, and the quiet stairs fell into silence again.

Puzzled, Clay shrugged, and followed Maester Theomo to Earl Wyman's study. The two armored Manderly family guards at the door saw Clay and Maester Theomo coming together. Some surprises.

To Clay's surprise and puzzlement, he actually read the vigilance in the eyes of the two guards looking at Maester Theomo. Why is the family wary of its own maester?
It seems that Maester Theomo has long been accustomed to these things, took out a letter in his hand, and handed it to one of the guards.

"The letter from Winterfell, please forward it to the Earl."

After saying this very calmly, Maester Theomo gave Clay a slight nod, turned around and left here, walking neatly and without sloppiness at all.

As soon as he left, the attitudes of the two guards changed immediately. The guard who had just received the letter immediately bent down and opened the oak door with a mermaid pattern for Clay.

Stepping into the room, Clay saw the old man who was drinking with a bottle of wine at a glance. With the sunshine from the balcony, Clay observed the color of the wine, probably Dawn's summer red.

"Grandpa, a letter from Winterfell." Receiving the letter from the guard who hadn't come in at the door, Clay called out to the old man, and the guard smiled at him and closed the door consciously.

"Huh? It's you, Clay, the letter from Winterfell? What did it say?"

The old man muttered, threw the wine bottle in his hand on the table, stood up from the wide soft chair that could accommodate two Clays, and looked at Clays.

Shaking his head, Clay walked into the room, and walked towards the old man's desk while looking at the decoration style full of golden dragon flavor in this very spacious room.

"No, I haven't read the letter yet."

After receiving the letter, Earl Wyman unexpectedly did not open it to read immediately, but instead asked:
"Theomo came with you?"

How could the old man know?Clay was a little confused, but he was right after thinking about it. The bachelor was responsible for delivering the letter, so it is understandable for the old man to ask this question.

"Yes, but he didn't come in, so there must be something wrong." Clay said, but unexpectedly, the old man sneered directly:
"He has a fart!"

It was rare that Clay saw undisguised contempt and disgust on the old man's good-natured face, which made him baffled.

"From now on, don't hang out with him." Earl Wyman said sullenly, picked up the wine bottle with his big hand and took another sip.

"Why, grandpa, aren't bachelors useful to nobles?"

"Do you know his last name?"

This rhetorical question made Clay stunned. In his impression, the maester's oath required them to give up their surnames and become servants of the entire Westeros, so Clay only knew that his name was Theomo, but he didn't know that he was last name.

"Lannister, remember, he's a Lannister, don't take any maester's bullshit vows, no matter how many metal chains he wears around his neck, I can smell that disgusting lion stench on him taste."

Now, Clay finally understood why Earl Wyman and the whole family had such an attitude towards Maester Theomo. With his Lannister background, it would be hell if he wanted to gain trust in the northern border.

Clay doesn't know why a Lannister came to White Harbor to become a bachelor, but as a member of the northern nobles, although White Harbor hates Lannister, he can't kill Bachelor Theomo just because of this .

Although it is possible to kill him by poisoning and other means, it is disgraceful after all, or there may be some reasons unknown to Clay. Other than that, let him do nothing.

But knowing this situation, it also made Clay more careful about the people around him. The ghost knows what is going on behind the people who call him master in this castle. Fortunately, I asked about the Swallow Potion today. There is no loss of stock of ingredients.

"Now, let me see what the letter from Winterfell said."

Earl Wyman ignored Clay who had a different expression, unfolded the letter, and slowly read the contents of the letter...

The typo is posted first and then corrected, the dog's head will save your life!
　I didn't make up this Maester Theomo, there really is such a person, and the old man is wary of him, it is true, I am not talking nonsense, don't wrong me, poor...
