Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 108 Ed's Matchmaking

Ever since Ferran rescued Mrs. Barbaret, a widow in Barrentown, from wild wolves in the wolf forest, the relationship between Mrs. Ballerina and Ferran has become increasingly close. They go to the wild every day to ride horses, go to the manor to pick, and in the evening, go to the godswood forest Pray together.

Domilik told Ed that he had never seen his aunt, Mrs. Ballet, so happy.Both Sansa and Caitlin think Madame Ballerina is in love.

The alliance between Desolation, Streamland and Dreadfort once caused Ed a headache. Now Ed keeps Domilik Bolton, the heir of Dreadfort, in Winterfell as his adopted son, beating the three alliances.

Phelan became a vassal of Winterfell. With his status as a nobleman, he can better pursue Mrs. Ballerina.

Once Mrs. Ballerina marries Ferran, it will undoubtedly strengthen the relationship between Barrentown and Winterfell. Mrs. Ballerina is the daughter of Streamland. Ed wins Balleret's support, and Streamland will therefore be more attached to Winterfell. loyalty.

At noon a few days later, in the square of the winter shelter town, Ed took Dawson, Phelan and Syrio Forel and stood on the high platform.

Phelan wears a blue velvet robe, a sable fur cloak, and a keel bow on his shoulders, which is very colorful; the guard Dawson wears enamel scale armor, and the dark gray cloak is fastened with a direwolf silver brooch, which is extremely brave; the water dancer Syrio Fo Riel, like an assassin of Braavos, was dressed in yellow and green robes, full of exaggeration.

People from the winter town, the boy who sold toast and hot pies, the fisherman who sold the catch of the White Knife River, and the farmer who sold turnips and pumpkins, all gathered in front of the high platform, looking at the northern warrior and Duke Eddard on the platform.

Because Phelan is good at archery, has the ability to pierce Yang with a hundred steps, and is a marksman, Ed chose the surname "Barrett" for Phelan. Phelan didn't understand what Barrett meant, but he still accepted the surname.

Dawson is Ed's personal bodyguard. This unshaven, strong man is almost inseparable from Ed, and he is loyal.In the rock species war, a rock species warrior attacked Ed on the battlefield and was stopped by Dawson. Dawson smashed the enemy's face with a shield. Therefore, Ed chose the surname "Aegis" for Dawson .

Dawson Aegis, Ferran Barrett, and Syrio Forel knelt in front of Ed, and after standing up, they became the nobles of Winterfell in the north.

Ed turned to the surrounding people and said loudly: "Ferran used to be a horse thief and poacher, Dawson was also a wolfwood poacher, and Syrio Forel came from Braavos. For the service of Winterfell, for his valor in the war against the Rockborn on Skagos Isle, I made each of them a baron, and rewarded manors and horses and coins, and they and their offspring will become Winterfell lord of the

The onlookers immediately exploded, talking a lot.

"Horse thieves, poachers, and foreigners can all become lords if they make military exploits. It seems that serving Stark as a soldier is beneficial!"

"Lord Stark rewards merit."

"It seems that I have to send my son to Winterfell as a soldier."

A stout farmer, carrying a hammer, "Lord Stark, are you still recruiting?"

"Juntun and the Great Wall are recruiting soldiers." Ed told the farmer and the people around him, "These soldiers, after making contributions, have the opportunity to become the soldiers of Winterfell, the head of the army station, the captain of the Great Wall Castle, and even have the opportunity Obtain the title of knighthood. The salary of an ordinary soldier is 40 copper coins, that of a soldier in Winterfell is 50 copper coins, that of a military commander is 80 copper coins, and that of a captain is 100 copper coins. When a soldier is promoted to a baron, he will be a nobleman."

"Houguan Town Juntun, Fort Greenguard on the Great Wall of Desperation, Westbridge Watch, Long Night Fort, and Winterfell are all recruiting troops. There are not many places available. If you want to register, hurry up."

Looking at the scenery on the stage, Ferran, Dawson, Syrio Forel, and people from the northern border enthusiastically signed up. In just one afternoon, Ed recruited more than 800 soldiers for Winterfell.

These soldiers will be sent to Houguan Town Juntun and the Impassable Great Wall.Today, Winterfell and the Night's Watch have reached a cooperation. The Nightwatchman artisans and Winterfell soldiers are working together to restore the Greenguard next to Eastwatch, the Long Nightfort in the middle of the Great Wall, and Westbridgewatch at the westernmost end.

Once these castles are restored, they can become the "refrigerators" for the winter reserves of the North, and become a place for the residents of the North and the Night Watchmen to store food and seafood.In the south of Fort Greenguard, Long Night Fort and Westbridge Watch, the soldiers of Winterfell will build up a series of manors and military settlements with their backs against the Great Wall.

Ed not only hopes to make the land-grant a line of defense against the Great Wall, but also hopes that the land-grant will become a granary in the future. He needs manpower, and these recruits can inject fresh blood into the Great Wall and the land-grant.

The captain of Fort Greenguard, Haihua, wrote to Winterfell, claiming that he and Eastwatch Commander Carter Pike had a good cooperation, and that the Brothers of the Night Watch liked the longships sent by Winterfell very much. , Winterfell captured from Ironborn pirates and Rockborn.

Now these longships are used to guard the coastline and catch smugglers, and Eastwatch's sea power has increased.Many longboats were also used for fishing, such as salmon, cod, herring, saury, yellow croaker, tuna, etc., which enriched the tables of the brothers of the Night Watch.

Phelan, Syrio and Dawson followed Ed back to Winterfell.Dawson said roughly: "Master Ed, I never thought that I could still be a lord in this life."

Ed smiled, "You deserve all of this."

Syrio stroked the assassin sword, "Lord Ed, we will definitely repay your kindness and trust. My sword will always fight for Winterfell!"

Ferran's hand slid over the keel longbow, "And my bow and arrow!"

After Dawson and Syrio left, Ed called Ferran, "How are you getting along with Mrs. Barbaret these days?"

Happiness flashed in Ferran's eyes, "I accompany Mrs. Ballerina every day, walking in the Godswood and the winter town, and sometimes go to the nearby manor. Yesterday we went to the library tower, and Mrs. Balleret taught me Learn how to read! We are going to hunt in the wolf forest in the afternoon."

"Mrs. Ballet is an attractive woman." Ed patted Ferran on the shoulder, "You have to seize the opportunity."

Ferran immediately became nervous, "Master Ed, Mrs. Ballet is of noble birth. Even if Mrs. is willing to accept me, her natal family will definitely oppose it. As for the Dustin family in Barrenton, they will definitely oppose Ballet. Ma'am marry me."

"You are now a vassal of Winterfell, a noble in the north." Although compared with the Dustin family and the Rodwell family, Phelan only has a few manors, which seems insignificant, but Ed thinks that there is no need Remind Phelan of this.

"Mrs. Ballerina won't listen to her father at all. As for the uncles from her husband's family in the barren village, they can't interfere with Mrs. Ballet's marriage. Ferran, you need to pursue happiness by yourself."
