Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 25 The Mysterious Case of the Alchemist Guild

Tom Sosin intends today to pick up where he left off.

A common King's Landing citizen, living by his craft, he became a good tailor, as his family expected, rather than looking for another job like some rebellious lad.

The exquisite production technique enabled him to live stably in King's Landing without going hungry, but compared with the nobles, it was naturally impossible to compare.

If a nobleman wants to live a decent life, he needs servants, coachmen, knight servants, cooks and butlers, etc. If it is just the minimum requirement and he is not afraid of being looked down upon by other nobles, his annual income should reach about a thousand gold dragons. Things Tom couldn't even think about.

Tom goes out of the house to work at a fixed time every day. If he comes out too late, the streets will become messy, clean clothes will be stuck with mud, and if customers see a slovenly tailor, the business will definitely fail. .

Tom felt that the sun was very warm today, and a gust of fresh air came from the Blackwater Bay, which made him thank someone from the bottom of his heart again.

The muddy street is where he lives. This street that has been dirty and filthy since Aegon I has changed its appearance. More than ten days ago, the nobles in the Red Castle led some prisoners and old people, women, and half-grown youths. The team of the Ministry came here and paved the street with a thick layer of solid mud, so the real muddy street that troubled Tom every time disappeared.

The grandfather once took out the golden dragon he had accumulated for a long time and bought the house without hesitation. Even though it was on the muddy street of Mud Street, his grandfather was still very happy because the Sosin family finally had a place to live in King's Landing. But when he actually moved here, his grandfather regretted it again. The dirty streets and the smelly air... made people hold their noses and bear it.

But the only thing that satisfied his grandfather was that it was close to the Great Sept of Baelor at the foot of the Visenya Hills, so he didn't have to walk half of King's Landing every time he worshiped.

Tom straightened his short hair on his forehead and continued to recall.

Grandfather doesn't like King's Landing, but he loves the tournament held by His Majesty the King. Every time he takes his family to cheer for the knights, Tom can see his envy for those noble knights from his grandfather's eyes.

In fact, every commoner has had such a dream, looking up at the starry sky hard: hoping that he can defeat his opponent, win the crown of love and beauty, and then give it to the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.

Everyone wants to be a knight, but no one wants to be an ordinary tailor.

Tom withdrew his thoughts, for on his way to the tailor's shop, Tom met Majesh Kom, who used to work for the same nobleman.

Majesh is one of the people Tom hates, because he stole and slandered the maid of the nobleman. The maid was beaten a hundred times and still refused to admit it, and the nobleman gave it to his groom, that is, the horseman. jesh.

In fact, the servants of the nobleman knew about it, even the nobleman himself knew about it, but he still chose to do it because the maid's father ran away while serving the nobleman's knight, and the nobleman could only blame his daughter body.

Majesh was keenly aware of this, and used the theft to get not only the golden dragon, but also the young woman who was hated by the nobles.

Majesh was still a nobleman's groom, but the woman committed suicide by throwing herself into a lake when no one was noticing when she was washing clothes for men. Majesh beat and scolded her after drinking. She was only allowed to rest when the commission was collected.

This poor woman lost her father and no brother, and no one could make decisions for her. So, she came to the lake in a daze that day, accidentally fell into it and never got up again.

Tom left there quickly. As a commoner, he couldn't do anything for that woman, but he also had his own way: never work for that noble gentleman again, and stay away from Majesh, a scum and scum.

A long time later, when Tom almost forgot about it, the news came from the fief where the nobleman was: Majesh stole two or three times later, so his feet were broken, and the groom also Can't do it.However, when the finances of the territory became tighter and tighter, the nobles chose to dismiss some idle servants, so Majesh was the first to be kicked out, and the nobles found no money in his house—he used it to drink .

Until now, Tom met this man who smelled of alcohol on the street. His left leg was limping and he could only walk against the wall. He looked as embarrassed as a stray dog.

Tom withdrew his gaze, pretending that he hadn't seen it, and wanted to turn around and leave the alley, and make a detour back from the side.

"Tom... Tom Sosin, is that you?" Majesh recognized the man who pretended not to see him, and struggled to walk a few steps.

"I'm Majesh, don't you remember me? We used to work for the same nobleman! It's me, Big Majesh!"

Tom's disgust began to creep inside him.This is a narrow alley, and the distance between the two is not far away. From Majesh's face, Tom can clearly see his bloodshot eyes that are often filled with rage.

Majesh yelled at Tom in front of him with his stained dark lips: "Tom, I'm going to get rich hahaha, don't look down on me!!"

"You all look down on me!!" Seeing that Majesh was drunk again, Tom had already exited the alley and was about to leave.

But Majesh suddenly jumped in front of Tom and shouted, "I know you look down on me, you all deserve to die! She deserves to die too!"

Tom pushed Majesh in front of him heavily, causing him to fall hard to the ground.

Then, without even looking at it, he walked away.

The next night, Tom heard a human voice in his sleep, which was Majesh's sentence, "I'm going to get rich!!"

"Drink!" Tom got up from the bed and took a few deep breaths.

Had a nightmare... Tom thought, and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Tom Sosin woke up and was just about to go out to welcome a new day when there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Tom opened the door in doubt.

Two golden robes in armor saw Tom coming out, and immediately claimed him.

"What's going on?!" Tom was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"My Lady, why did you arrest me?"

"Tom Saul, Majesh Kom died on the street not far away. Someone saw you arguing with him. We think you killed him."

Hearing these words, Tom Saul shivered as if being blown by a gust of cold wind.

Majesh...how did he die?

　I am afraid to write at night...
