Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 40 Information Summary

Clay stretched out two fingers and picked up the ring that should be a token of identity.

The ring itself should be made of pure gold. There is an obvious trident pattern on the top. There is a line of words engraved around the ring body. It is worn and somewhat unclear, but Clay, who is very familiar with his family motto, barely recognizes it: "Raging sea and raging waves!"

At the center of the trident is a blood-red gemstone, which was once a magnificent ring, but under the wear and tear of time, it is now just a dull token.

Coincidentally, Clay has seen one in the hands of his old man. It is the same in shape and decoration, but the gemstone of that ring is blue, which probably represents the ocean outside White Harbor.

When Clay put the ring on his hand, the way these five people looked at Clay changed from just scrutiny to a kind of obedience from subordinates to superiors. To a certain extent, they only recognized the ring but not recognize people.

"This is the last time I will sit in this room, Snow, starting with you, the five of you will report to Lord Clay one by one on your current work and the latest news."

Sir Bartimus' order is still useful in this conference room, but after he leaves this conference room, unless Earl Wyman himself arrives, he will not be able to enter here again.

The gray-clothed man named Xue Nuo nodded slightly. He sat in a chair and spread out a wooden clip in his hand. Clay noticed some yellowish paper inside, but he didn't know what was written on it.

"Most of my spies are concentrated in Winterfell, Dreadfort, Last Hearth City, and Hornwood City, and the rest are evenly distributed among the major castles and their affiliated villages according to the population."

This is Snow's report on the distribution of the White Sea agents in the northern border. Clay did not comment, but asked:
"During the king's stay in Winterfell, besides my affairs, do you know anything else?"

"My lord, I will summarize the intelligence information for you later."

Nodded, Clay actually wanted to know about the abilities of these spies. After all, he was in Winterfell himself, and his original memory could tell him something. Two-phase verification can probably estimate the spies' reconnaissance. ability.

After asking a few more questions, Clay discovered that the Chief Jon did not mention the matter of Bran Stark falling from the tower. It is impossible for them not to know about such a big matter, so Clay can confirm one thing, The Three-Eyed Raven must have influenced Bran Stark in a different way for his own sake.

But this is also good, compared to letting him fall from the tower, then brutally stuffing him with dreams, and finally letting a disabled person escape from the Great Wall to take over the mantle of the Three-Eyed Crow, it is somewhat miserable.

Next is He Wen, the general manager of Hejian. This man who hid himself in a corner broke the news when he came up. He said:

"Duke Horst Tully was seriously ill and was bedridden. He fell into a coma several times before, and the bachelor rescued him many times before he was rescued. However, the flame of life of this old Duke is about to go out, and he is just waiting in vain on the hospital bed to return to the gods. embraced."

Chief River Wen originally wanted to see a shocked expression on the face of this too young boss, but he was disappointed. Clay only frowned slightly, and just nodded to signal him to continue talking.

Clay knew that the Duke of Tully was going to die soon, and he died when the Lannisters besieged Riverrun. His butterfly effect should not affect the life of Duke Tully, Clay thought uncertainly. .

Director He Wen gave Clay a very approving look, and continued:

"A heir of the Frey family escaped from the Twin River City and was captured by the soldiers of the Frey family. The information he has received is that he has been hanged. My subordinates are currently trying to find out the specific reason for his defection."

Frey?Clay's brows were tightly furrowed. In two days, he would set off to attend the invitation of the Frey family. It seemed that he still had to obtain a little more information about this family.

So, he knocked on the table and said softly:

"I need a summary of the major events that have happened to the Frey family in the past five years. Can it be done in one day?"

"As you wish, my lord." This was the answer from Chief He Wen, his voice did not fluctuate, as if this was a rather common thing.

According to the river steward's description, almost all the strength of the White Sea Guard in the Riverlands is concentrated in the Twins and Riverrun, because these two places are really valuable in the entire Riverlands, plus one at most Harrenhal in ruins.

Clay agrees with this point. Whether it was Rob Stark leading his troops to the south, or the tug-of-war in the War of the Five Kings, these nobles in the river are useless at all, and there is no need to think about it at all. their presence.

The root of this situation was actually buried when Aegon I Targaryen conquered Westeros. The riverlands were originally full of hills, and Aegon I Targaryen was actually standing up among the dwarfs. indivual.

Therefore, when the Tully family became the guardian of the river, most of the vassals under them were not convinced, especially the Frey family who was far away from the center of the river and hung alone on the upper reaches of the Green Fork River.

The monarch is weak and the vassals are strong, which is exactly the same as the Tyrell family in Highgarden, but the Tyrell family, relying on their wealth and sufficient political skills, can mostly handle the vassals under their hands, but obviously, The seriously ill old Duke Horst did not have this ability.

After talking about the land of the river, the next person to speak out was the steward named Xishan. When he announced his name, Clay understood. Named after their surnames, just now Clay thought that the first two were really born as illegitimate children.

Compared with the previous two, the report of this Chief Xishan seems to be nothing worth noting, and most of the information is outdated, but according to him, it is too difficult for the White Sea Guard to infiltrate the Western Territory, and at the same time, it will pay a lot. Small casualties.

Because this is tantamount to competing for financial resources with the one sitting in Casterly Rock City. It is said that the poop he pulls out is all gold. Duke Tywin in the west also has a similar force. There were casualties.

If it wasn't for him not having more, Clay would have thought he was asking himself for funds, but Clay doesn't have a few golden dragons in his hands now, so what should he give them.

As for the Vale of Arryn, most of the infiltration failures occurred during the process of entering the Blood Gate. After all, spies were humans, not dragons. It was impossible to fly directly to the Eagle's Nest like Aegon the Conqueror's wife, Queen Visenia.

Moreover, the Vale of Arryn has always been quite xenophobic in recent years. Once the gate is closed, they don't pay attention to the outside world. The White Sea Guard can obtain very little information. They only know that the young Duke Robert Arryn seems to be in very poor health, and his intelligence seems to exist. question.

The nobles of the Vale have always complained about this, but that's all.

Finally, there is King's Landing, which is also the place where the entire White Sea Guard lost the most manpower. Last year alone, there were more than ten people who were arrested and rebelled.

No way, they are far away in White Harbor, and their micromanagement skills are no match for Littlefinger Petyr and eunuch Varys.
