Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 240 Emperor Ed
Ed rides the dragon flying wolf, flying around the lights of the towering tower at night, Daenerys on the back of the dragon Drogon, Jon Snow on the back of the dragon Rego, the dragon koi, Hawkeye, Viserion, follow closely.

Tens of thousands of Hightower family soldiers in the towering tower cheered and applauded.

When the dragon landed on the ground under the towering tower, Ed jumped off the dragon's back, and his feet landed on the ground of Baizhan Island.

At this time, Grace, the sea salt witch, Corliss, the sea snake, and Erin, the oak fist, also led the mermaid warriors, shrimp soldiers and crab generals to the foot of the towering tower.

The Earl of Old Town who has not stepped down from the towering tower for decades, the lord of the old town, the guardian of the school city, the lighthouse of the southern border, the lord of the harbor, the earl of the towering tower, the protector of the old town, Lei, who is nicknamed "Old Town Old Man" Don Hightower walked out of the towering tower for the first time, and brought his family to welcome King Ed's arrival.

The members of the Hightower family and the soldiers of Old Town looked at the mermaid warriors, magic dragons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals not far away with dumbfounded eyes.

Earl Leighton Hightower is over sixty years old. He has silver-white hair and a ruddy complexion. He wears a purple-gold silk robe, and his breastplate is carved with sapphires into the towering coat of arms of the Hightower family. in front of Germany.

"Your Majesty, it was you who saved the Tower, Oldtown and the Reach. This kindness will never be forgotten by the Hightower family."

Ed waved his hand and ordered them to stand up, "The Crow's Eye has been killed. Victarion, Asha, Aeron Damphair and others of the Greyjoy family have also been captured. The ironborn can no longer do evil."

Later, Leyton Hightower introduces his family members to Eddard.

Rhea Florent is the fourth wife of Earl Leyton Hightower and the second daughter of Allister Florent. She has fair skin and is gentle and charming.

Rhea Florent shed tears as soon as she saw Ed, "Your Majesty, you not only saved the Reach, but also saved Brightwater City. Brightwater City has been the territory and castle of the Florent family for generations. However, the Duke of Metz deprived the Florent family of their castle and territory, and gave Garland what originally belonged to the Florent family."

"This time the Ironborn invaded, Garland led the residents of Brightwater City to resist, but they were defeated steadily. This shows that the residents of Brightwater City do not love Garland at all. Garland is just a thing forced by Highgarden to the residents of Brightwater City. A second son rose. Please ask your majesty to seek justice for the Florentine family and ask the Tyrell family to return the castle and territory of Brightwater City to the Florentine family."

Earl Leighton Hightower, an old man from Old Town, seemed very unhappy. He said, "Your Majesty just defeated the enemy for us. When you came to the Tower of Towering without drinking a sip of water, you yelled that Your Majesty should return the Florent family's money." Territory, what's the point?"

Leia Florent just shed tears, "Your Majesty, the Florent family is the descendants of the 'Green Hand' Gars, the ancestor of the Florent family, is the extremely intelligent 'Fox' Flores, the blood of our family is Vitili The Er family is older and more noble. The Florent family was bewitched by the villain, so they stood on the wrong side in the dispute between kings."

"The war is over. Your Majesty, please forgive the Florent family. We are willing to redeem the territory of the Florent family with real money."

Earl Leighton Hightower, an old man in the old town, smiled at Ed: "Your Majesty, ever since the Florens family was deprived of their territory and castle, Leia has been on the towering tower, looking at the land of her hometown in the north and crying all day long. .”

"The Tyrell family and the Florent family are my relatives. My second daughter, Ellie, married the Duke of Metz. Garland, the Earl of Brightwater City appointed by the Duke of Metz, is my grandson. However, I Support the Florens family to take back the territory of Brightshui City, after all, the Florens family has ruled Brightshui City for thousands of years."

Ed said: "I will discuss it with the Duke of Metz and Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns."

Brightwater City is a piece of fat. Obviously, the Hightower family does not want to sit back and watch the Tyrell family monopolize this piece of fat, and neither does Eddard.

When Aegon the Conqueror conquered the Reach, he bypassed the noble Florents of Brightwater, the Peeks of Starswing, the Hightowers of Oldtown, and the Oakhearts of Old Oak. The Redwyne family of Arbor Island chose the Tyrell family of Highgarden to become the governor of the Reach, because they took a fancy to the Tyrell family's background as "the butler".

The Reach is rich and powerful. If it unites around an ancient and powerful noble, it will be a serious problem for the Iron Throne. Historically, the Tyrell family was only the steward of the King of the Reach in Highgarden. It was led by the Tyrell family. Many of the great nobles in the Reach would be dissatisfied with being appointed to protect the family. As a result, the Reach was suffering from internal strife, so they had no choice but to submit to the Iron Throne.

If Eddard sat back and watched the Tyrell family take over Brightwater City and nearby territories, the strength of the Tyrell family would rise to another level. Powerful vassals were ultimately a hidden danger to the lord.

Today, Lord Leighton Hightower of Old Town has expressed his support for the Florent family to take back the castle and territory of Brightwater City, and Stannis also supports the Florent family. Loren family.

Even Alister Florent's other son-in-law, Landau Tarly, Lord of Horn Hill, has expressed a veiled wish for the Florents to return to the Reach.

The Florentine family is deeply rooted, and coupled with Alister Florent's political wisdom, he understands the importance of noble marriage. Therefore, his daughters and nephews were married to the Hightower family of Oldtown. The marriage between House Tarly of Horn Hill and House Baratheon of Stormlands.

If the Tully family, the Hightower family, the Baratheon family and Ed came forward to make peace together, the Duke of Mace could only return Brightwater City.

Afterwards, Lord Leighton Hightower, the old man of Old Town, continued to introduce his children.

Baelor "Laughing" is the eldest son and heir of Lord Leyton Hightower. He is graceful and handsome.

"Grey Iron" Garth is the second son of Lord Leighton Hightower. He has a stout physique, strong eyes, and a suit of smoke-gray armor.When the Ironborn bypassed the city of Brightwater and attacked the territory of House Hightower in the Mead River Valley, "Grey Iron" Garth led the Hightower soldiers to respond to the enemy. He defeated the Ironborn's attacks many times, but he was also defeated by the Ironborn. His throwing ax cut his arm, which is still bandaged.

"Crazy" Moloya is the eldest daughter of Earl Leighton Hightower. She is wearing a long gray wool dress and a straw hat. She has vivid eyes and looks more like a witch than a lady.

Moroya is the aunt of Margaery and Loras, the Knight of Flowers.Lady Ellery, the wife of Duke Mace Tyrell, is Moroya's sister.

As the eldest lady of the Hightower family, Moroya had countless suitors when she was young, but she was rejected by her eccentric temper. In the end, she was over [-] years old and never married. She stayed in the towering tower all the year round, studying magic books.

When Moroya saw Ed, she looked pious.

"I prayed to the magic mirror, and the magic mirror told me that there would be a great hero riding a direwolf and a magic dragon to save the Tower and Old Town."

"Your Majesty Ed, you are the prophesied hero. You are simply a god-like figure."

Afterwards, Ed and Earl Leighton Hightower enjoyed roasted wild boar sprinkled with cinnamon, foie gras, black truffle, peacock meat and other delicacies in the Tower of Towers. After eating, Ed came to the pier of Baizhan Island, and saw the iron species imprisoned by the mermaid warrior at the seaside.

Asha, Victarion, Admiral of the Iron Fleet, and Aeron Damphair, were all chained and bound in a cage.

Eddard told them, "The Crow's Eye is dead. I beheaded him on the top of the Tower of the Sky, and the stench ripped through the sky."

Aeron with wet hair said indifferently: "It's a pity that I couldn't witness this scene with my own eyes."

Victarion said: "Wolf King, we all hate the Crow's Eye. I thank you for helping the Greyjoy family to get rid of the Crow's Eye. As for the rest, I hate you."

Asha looked at Ed, "You will use Theon to rule the Iron Islands."

Ed nodded, "Yes, Theon is my adopted son. You will sail for me and fight for me. I will give the ironmen the best treatment, so that you can earn more than paying iron money for pursuing the ancient road. .”

Victarion said proudly: "Wolf King, even money can't buy my loyalty."

"Of course you will serve me." Ed smiled, and Victarion felt the crab start to tear in his stomach. Victarion was so painful that he slumped on the ground.

Asha, with wet hair and pale face, Ed said: "I killed the Crow's Eye and took away his magic horn, the Naga and the sea monster, and even the crab that the Crow's Eye put in your belly. mine."

"You have sworn allegiance to me and proved your loyalty. I will consider taking out the crab."

Victarion cursed: "I hate you monsters who manipulate magic!"

However, in the end, Victarion chose to kneel before Eddard along with Asha and Aeron the Damphair and swear allegiance.

Aeron the Damphair said: "King Ed, I saw your power on the sea. It belongs to the power of the sea. I think you are the incarnation of the Drowned God."

Ed smiled, "You can say that, anyway, I don't claim to be a god."

The next day, accompanied by Earl Leighton Hightower, Ed left Battle Island and headed for the urban area of ​​Old Town.

Ed, Daenerys, and Jon were riding on the back of the dragon. Tens of thousands of people in Old Town gathered on both sides of the street, cheering, shouting, roses, sunflower lilies, and laurel petals falling from the sky.

In the Starry Church, Ed met the archbishop.

The Archbishop, a thin old man, said: "Sire, you are as just as the Father, as compassionate as the Mother, as brave as a warrior, as diligent as a blacksmith, as wise as a crone, as spotless as a maiden, as a stranger. bring death and terror to the enemy."

"In King's Landing, you defeated the undead and the fallen corpse queen Cersei. In Oldtown, you defeated the evil Ironborn King Crow's Eye and saved countless believers of the Seven Gods. People say that the Archbishop is the spokesperson of the Seven Gods, so you It is the incarnation of the seven gods in the world."

"Your great achievements have surpassed Aegon the Conqueror who conquered Westeros, King Jaehaerys who brought decades of prosperity, Daeron the wise king who merged Dorne, and any gardener in the Reach. King of the Rivers and Hills, King of the Vale, King of the North, King of Casterly Rock, King of the Storm and King of Dorne, King of Iron."

"You are the true incarnation of the Seven Gods, and I would like to call you the unique Emperor Ed."

Under the witness of seven monks, nuns, and countless disciples of the Seven Gods in 770, the Archbishop blessed Emperor Ed the Great.Ed came to the school city by the Miwine River. On the marble steps at the entrance of the school city, there are two tall marble pedestals, and on the pedestals stand two green Sphinx statues that are tens of meters high. Sphinx It is a monster with the body of a lion, wings of an eagle, and a tail of a snake.One of them is a woman's face and the other is a man's face.

He was warmly welcomed by the doctors, bachelors, apprentices and assistant bachelors of the Cardinal Council.

Dr. Ambrose, his scepter, mask, and necklace are all made of silver, which means that he is an authority in the medical field.

Dr. Perestan, his scepter, necklace and mask are all made of bronze, which means that he is an authority in the field of historical research. Ed once read his book "A Study of History".

Dr. Ambrose spoke on behalf of the doctors. He said: "Your Majesty, your arrival has brought the entire academy city to the highest glory. We are very grateful. Your Majesty pardoned the crimes of the former Grand Maester Pycelle in King's Landing. Pycelle The grand maester served the undead and became a disgrace to the academy city."

Ed said: "Grand Maester Pycelle is old and frail, and his days are numbered. He is now under house arrest in King's Landing, and is responsible for writing the history books of Cersei, Joffrey, and the time when the Necromancer ruled King's Landing."

Dr. Ambrose said: "The Academy absolutely agrees with His Majesty's handling of Pycelle. However, we heard that His Majesty appointed Dr. Marwin as a Grand Bachelor. According to the usual practice, the Grand Master should be elected by the Cardinal Council, and Dr. Marwin will not Suitable for a bachelor's degree."

Soon, Dr. Perestan, Dr. Velen and others agreed.Dr. Marwin had always been sidelined by the other Doctors of the Cardinals, whom Marwin contemptuously called gray sheep.

Ed said: "Dr. Marwyn himself doesn't want to be a grand maester. I asked him to temporarily take over the position. You can choose your own candidates and send them to King's Landing."

The doctors all smiled, and they took Ed, Jon Snow, and Daenerys to visit the school city together.

Leaving the Academy City and on the way back to the towering tower, Daenerys said: "The Academy City is the temple of knowledge, the center of Westeros culture, everything is good here, but there is one thing that is not good, it doesn't accept female students. "

"Across the Narrow Sea, even in slave city-states, women can also serve as tutors, clerical and other jobs. Missandei, the maid next to me, has a high talent for languages. If she receives training from the city, she will definitely be better than most men. powerful."

Ed said: "My adopted daughter, Dorn's Sand Snake Laresa, is because the Academy City doesn't accept female students, talented women disguised themselves as men and entered the Academy City. I have the Wolf King Academy in Winterfell, and I plan to use it in King's Landing." , Seagull Town, White Harbor, and Lannisport, set up the Wolf King Academy to cultivate talents, and women will have the same right to education as men. One day, the Wolf King Academy will replace the status of the school city."

Daenerys said, "Your plan is perfect."

A few days later, the Reach army wiped out the remaining ironborn in the Reach, and some ironborn captains were surrendered by Asha and Victarion.The ironborn longships entrenched in the Shield Islands raised their sails and fled back to the Iron Islands overnight after learning that Crow's Eye had been killed.

The Ironborn forces in the Reach were basically wiped out, only a small group of Ironborn became bandits and wandered around the Reach.

The Duke of Mace, Lady Olenna, Queen of Thorns, Lord Paxter Redwyne and other nobles from the Reach, as well as Prince Oberyn, Brienne, and Sandor the Hound, who came to fight in the Reach, arrived in Old Town one after another towering tower.

Eddard gave the Redwyne twins Hobb and Horace to Paxter Redwyne. The twins had been Cersei's hostages in King's Landing. Now, the twins have become Eddard's. Adopted son.Lord Paxter Redwin burst into tears upon seeing his son.

"Your Majesty's kindness, the Redwyne family will never forget. I am willing to send two sons to serve as Your Majesty's attendants."

"We are rebuilding the Arbor Island fleet. In the future, the Arbor Island fleet will be at the disposal of the Stark family and His Majesty at any time."

The Riverlands, Stormlands and Dorne sent their sons and daughters to King's Landing to serve as Ed's adopted son.Today, Eddard has more than 400 adopted sons and daughters spread across Westeros.

Lord Alister Florent also arrived at the Tower. At first Eddard asked him to stay in King's Landing and assist Robb, but he still couldn't get over it and let him arrive with the Florent family's army. river bend.

The Florens family still dreamed of regaining the territory and castle of Brightwater City. After all, without a fief, Alister Florent's title of earl became a decoration.

In the magnificent banquet hall of the towering tower, the nobles gathered together.

Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, said: "Your Majesty, in just a few years, you have annexed the Beyond the Wall, the Valley, the Riverlands, and the West. You have defeated the undead in the West and been crowned queen, and defeated the evil in the Reach. Crow's Eye and the damned Ironborn, you saved the Reach."

"I believe that the Ironborn will soon surrender to His Majesty on the Iron Islands, which are nothing to shit on. I think that at such a moment of national celebration, Robb and Margaery should be allowed to enter the palace of marriage without any regrets." Doubt, we are going to hold a grand wedding in the King's Landing Throne Hall."

The Duke of Metz echoed: "The sooner the wedding, the better."

The Tyrell family is finally about to welcome their first queen, the Queen of Thorns and the Duke of Mace, and they all look forward to Margaery marrying Robb as soon as possible.

Ed said: "The Night King's army is about to move outside the Great Wall. The River Bend has just been invaded by the Ironmen. The dilapidated homeland needs to be repaired. The wedding can be postponed first."

Count Alister Florent came over and said, "Your Majesty, please return the territory of Brightwater City to the Florent family. The Florent family is willing to pay a lot of money to redeem it from the Tyrell family."

The face of Mrs. Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, was stretched out.

"You traitor, you took the Florens family to flee to the Stormlands and took refuge in Stannis. Now, what face do you have to return to the Reach? We are discussing the marriage between Margaery and Crown Prince Robb, you Blended with what?"

The Duke of Metz said harshly: "Bright Water City has been rewarded to my son Garland, and it is impossible to return it to Florentine."

The owner of the towering tower, Lord Leighton Hightower, Earl of Old Town, spoke.

"Duke of Metz, you are my son-in-law, Garland is my grandson, and I am the son-in-law of Earl Alister Florens. We are all relatives. Since the Florens family is willing to spend money to redeem Back to the land, why do you have to be so stiff?"

Ed said: "Earl Florens is at fault and can be punished. However, the Florens family has ruled Liangshui City for thousands of years after all. It is not appropriate to deprive a family of their territory because of one person's mistake."

"Stannis, Duke of the Stormland, is also paying attention to this matter. After all, Stannis' wife, Selyse, is from the Florens family."

Upon seeing King Eddard's statement, Randyll Tarly immediately followed suit.

"The Florent family is indeed a traitor and should be punished. It is reasonable for the Florent family to spend a lot of money to redeem Brightshui City and its territory."

Even Lord Paxter Redwin was talking about peace, so the Duke of Metz and Lady Olenna had no choice but to compromise.

Mrs. Olenna said angrily: "Your Majesty, the Florent family is unreliable at critical moments! It is not impossible to let them redeem the castle, but who can guarantee that the Florent family will not rebel in the future and oppose the high court's fiefdom?" Your Majesty, against His Majesty on the Iron Throne?"

"The Florens family occupies the estuary of the Mander River. Although the main force of the Ironborn has been wiped out, don't forget, there is a famous saying of the Ironborn, the dead will not die, but will rise again, and its power will be even stronger. Maybe there will be a comeback, and when the time comes, will the Florent family be reliable? The Florent family must pay the price."

Ed said: "The Florentine family should pay the price. I declare that the mouth of the Mande River will be assigned to the royal family. I will build a brand new Wolf Castle at the mouth of the Mande River and directly station troops. From now on, The Tyrell family doesn’t have to worry about the Florentine family.”

Although Lady Olenna and Duke Mace are dissatisfied, they can only accept it. After all, they still expect Margaery to marry Robb and watch their grandson rule the Seven Kingdoms. They dare not oppose Ed at this time.

Besides, thinking about the army in Ed's hands, the dragon, Naga, Balrog, and King Ed's strength are stronger than any Targaryen king. Opposing such a king is just asking for trouble.

As for the Florentine family, they are satisfied to be able to get back the castle and most of their territory. After all, without the support of King Ed, the Florentine family may not even be able to get back an inch of land.

The mouth of the Mander River fell into the hands of the Stark family, which was another great fortune.

The Mead River gave birth to Old Town, and the Mander River, the largest river in the Reach, did not give birth to a city. This is indeed strange, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. Don't deal with it, the Florens family is still complaining, they are more qualified than the Tyrell family to be the guardian family of the riverlands, of course the Tyrell family is not willing, and a city has developed in Florent's territory, Various restrictions were placed on the Florens family.

In the future, Ed will build a city here.

Everyone was eating when a white crow landed in the hall.

The white crow is one of the ravens sent by the school city. The white crow itself does not carry any information. Its only function is to announce the change of seasons.

Winter has come.

Then, a Blood Raven landed in the middle of the hall and became the Three-Eyed Raven Brynden Rivers.

"Your Majesty, the Night King's army has assembled in the Land of Eternal Winter and is now marching towards the Great Wall."

"Winter is here!"

　Thanks to Brother Hun Tun, the leaping stars in the clouds, for sending out monthly tickets, thank you for your support!
