Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory.

Chapter 353 Exchange Conditions

Upon hearing Lind's so-called way out, the faces of Stannis and the surrounding vassals on Dragonstone became extremely ugly.

Because everyone knows who most of the Night Watchmen are. Although some knights and mercenaries have joined the ranks of the Night Watchmen due to the actions of Linde and Vilas in recent years, the vast majority of the Night Watchmen are still criminals. Lord, the so-called Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch is just the leader of a group of criminals.

Stannis and others felt that Lind was insulting themselves.

However, Lind turned a blind eye to the anger on their faces and continued: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Lord Jeor Mormont, was assassinated by a traitor in the Night's Watch not long ago, and the new Commander-in-Chief has not been chosen. Come out, because those people are not very good, it is impossible to lead the Night Watch against the savage tribe outside the wall, and even less likely to fight against the White Walkers who are about to go south, so the new Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch must be a capable and responsible person. , so that we can hold the line of defense of the Wall. When I left the Wall, I temporarily let Samwell Tarly serve as the acting commander-in-chief. He is a capable person, but his character is not strong enough. Now he can barely He can handle some affairs, but the recent offensive of the wildling tribe has been a bit fierce. He is obviously not suitable to be the commander-in-chief in wartime, so I need to choose a suitable person as soon as possible to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch. Lord Stannis, you are my choice. Of all the men chosen, the man most suitable to be Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was selected."

"Who did you choose?" After listening to Lind's account, Stannis' original anger calmed down, and then he asked Lind: "Who did you choose to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch? ?”

Lynd replied: "Lord Tywin Lannister, Lord Brynden Tully the Blackfish, Lord Yohn Royce the Bronze, and myself."

"And yourself?" Stannis was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why is there yourself?"

Linde said casually: "Why can't I do it myself? It is very important to resist the White Walkers from going south. I will definitely go to the Great Wall during the war. It is impossible to miss this battle and it will be recorded in the annals of history. It has become a legendary war, so it is not impossible to become the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch and lead the Night Watch against the White Walkers."

"In that case, why don't you become Lord Commander of the Night's Watch?" Stannis asked.

"Because I have more important things to do." Linde said very seriously: "The White Walkers going south is just one of the disasters we have to face. When the real disaster comes, even the Great Wall cannot stop it. I must prepare for it in advance. Prepare for the inevitable disaster.”

Perhaps the happiest thing for him was to hear that Robert, the guy who had brought him humiliation for more than ten years, was stabbed to death by a wild boar. He would feel sad when he heard the news of Renly's death, but after hearing the news of Robert's death , he rarely drank a bottle of wine.

"We will definitely follow His Majesty."

Lind explained: "I will adopt Shireen as my adopted daughter. When she grows up, I will hand over Storm's End Castle to her and make her the Duke of Storm's End and the guardian of the Stormlands. What do you think?"

"What if I exchange it for Storm's End?" Linde smiled.

Only Davos, the Onion Knight with a very low status, gave the answer he wanted to hear. Unfortunately, there was only one Onion Knight.

Stannis turned his head and asked the vassals behind him: "Where are you? What do you think of the way out that Prince Lynd gave?"

Stannis frowned and asked, "What disaster can't even be prevented by the Wall?"

"Long Night and Everwinter. The Long Night and Everwinter will appear soon. The extreme cold in the north will cross the Great Wall and sweep across the south. Everything will be covered in ice and snow." The person who answered was not Linde, but Melissa who was standing aside. Zhuo, I saw her walking up to Stannis and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the revelation of the Lord of Light that I mentioned? You are destined to become Azor Ahai's minion to resist the Eternal Winter God. Now things have changed. Now, it is your destiny to be Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, it is your destiny."

Linde was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Melisandre with some surprise.

Stannis was completely stunned, his expression on Facebook beyond words.

Stannis hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Melisandre and Lind, and said jokingly: "You just talked about changing the situation, and he showed up. Did you two collude?"

It was precisely because of this that he had such a strong reaction after hearing the conditions proposed by Linde.

After being disappointed, Stannis turned his head to look at Lind and said solemnly: "You want to take away my Dragonstone Island with just one or two words. It's too easy!"

There is no doubt that Storm's End is Stannis's eternal heart. In that war, he made great achievements in battle, helped Robert defend Storm's End, and held back the armies of the Reach, while Renly just A little kid who knows how to cry.

As a result, after the war, he who was supposed to be the Duke of Storm's End and the guardian of the Stormlands became the Duke of Dragonstone. The Baratheon family's ancestral Storm's End and Stormlands were given to Renly, who had done nothing during the war. Little guy, how could he not feel resentful.

"What?" Stannis was stunned, wondering what Linde meant by this.

"I am willing to fight to the death for His Majesty, no matter who the opponent is." Onion Knight Davos puffed out his chest and said.

Most of the vassals on Dragonstone said they would follow Stannis, but there were only a few noble knights in the Stormlands, and Salladhor Saan was obviously not among them.

Stannis had a look of disappointment in his eyes, not because there were less than half of the people who were willing to follow him, but because their answers were not what he wanted, and he hoped to hear those who followed him refute him. , being able to loudly tell him that he was willing to die to defend Dragonstone Castle.

The answers given by his vassals now undoubtedly show that they have been frightened by Linde, have no idea of ​​​​confronting Linde, and have approved Linde's proposal from the bottom of their hearts.

"These are my Lord's revelations." Melisandre explained in an eloquent manner. Obviously, what she meant was that even Linde's actions were under the control of the Lord of Light.

"Are you telling the truth?" Stannis came back to his senses and confirmed seriously.

"I won't joke about this kind of thing." Linde said solemnly.

Stannis thought for a while and ordered the onion knight Davos on the side: "Go! Bring Shireen here." Upon hearing this, Davos immediately turned around and walked quickly back to the castle. Not long after, He was seen leading a little girl out of the castle.

Also coming out were Shireen's mother Celis Florent, a group of servants, and a jester with patchwork faces tattooed on his face in different colors.

Linde glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Patch Face.

Even if Linde doesn't use special vision now, he can still feel the mysterious power with the strong smell of sea water from Patch Face. He is not a being favored by God, but he has some ancient existence in his body. The power of Vilas is like that of Garth the Green Hand, and this power also allows him to keep his body alive. In a sense, he and the ghoul, or to be more correct, and The White Walkers are very similar.

When the group of people came forward, the originally lively patched face became very timid. They hid behind Shirin to avoid Lind's sight, and Shilin's young body could not block his plump penis. Body, this sight looks quite funny.

Stannis' face was a little ugly when he saw that Patchface's actions were humiliating him, but when his eyes fell on his daughter Shireen, he showed a rare tenderness.

In order to help Nymeria conquer Chayon of Heartbreak Ridge, Black Cave was specifically asked to establish a base for researching greyscale disease on the edge of Heartbreak Ridge. With the help of sacrificial tablets, dragon runes and other rune magic, The base quickly produced some drugs that can curb greyscale. These drugs can treat greyscale in the early stages of greyscale infection. They can also curb the growth of greyscale, relieve the pain of patients, and especially help patients return to normal sanity. It has miraculous effects.

After researching these potions, Nymeria successfully subdued Chayon. After the effects of the potions came out, Stannis also took the initiative to send people to the Summer Hall to find Lind, and spent a lot of money to purchase a batch of potions. For Shireen to use.

During the period of using the medicine, the medicine was also updated and iterated three times, gradually changing from suppressing greyscale to treating greyscale, just as the greyscale on Shirin's body has now changed from a thick layer of horny skin to a There is a thin layer of hard shell, and normal skin has even grown in some places. Although it looks more ugly than when greyscale was severe, for the patient, it is more comfortable now.

When Shireen walked out of the castle, her eyes were already attracted to the lava dragon Neltharion lying on the square. Her eyes were full of curiosity and excitement. If someone hadn't pulled her, she might have rushed to the dragon's side. .

"Come here Shireen, let me introduce someone to you?" Stannis waved towards Shireen and said in a gentle tone that was hard to hear.

Shireen wanted to come over, but the timid Patchface held on to her clothes behind her. She turned around and touched Patchface's head, signaling him to let go. Then she walked over and walked toward Stannis and Dragon in turn. Shidao's ministers and Lin De saluted and said, "Father, sirs, Prince Lin De."

"It seems that no introduction is needed." Stannis touched Shireen's head lovingly, pointed at Lind, and said, "He will be your adoptive father in the future. Go meet your adoptive father."

Shireen was stunned, looking at Stannis in confusion, and then at Lind.

Linde walked over, squatted down, took off his helmet, held it in his arms, smiled at Shilin and said: "You will live in Shengxia Hall as my adopted daughter for a long time in the future. Of course, if you live in Shengxia Hall If you are not used to it, you can also go to Lorne Guona Saxing. It is very suitable for living there. Of course, if you are willing, I can take you with me when I go to inspect territories around the world. At least it will be better than on Dragonstone Island. It’s a lot more fun to be around.”

"Go to all over the world?" Shireen thought of the legendary places she read in the book, and immediately showed excitement and asked: "Can I go to Qarth? I have read in the book that it is the most beautiful place in the world." Cities of the East.”

Linde smiled and said: "Qarth is not the most eastern city. The most eastern city in the known world is Asshai. It is a city carved from a huge black stone. The city area is King's Landing. Five or six times that of Asshai, that city has been captured by me, and the dark warlock known as the King of Asshai has surrendered to me, but now is not a good time to go to Asshai, because the demons, vampires, etc. in the Shadow Land When the monsters were rioting and attacking Yaxia City, although the monsters had been repelled, Yaxia was still not safe."

Shireen's eyes widened when she heard about Asshai. Not only Shireen, but also Stannis and others were surprised. Although they knew that Lind owned a large amount of territory on the Essos continent, What they never expected was that Linde's sphere of influence had expanded to the legendary Yaxia.

Unlike Stannis who only knew that Asshai was a legendary eastern city, Melisandre had actually lived in Asshai for a long time, and she also learned the Shadowbinder spell from there. Knowing better who Linde was referring to as the King of Asshai, she was much more shocked than Stannis and others. She couldn't help but ask Linde: "Jaben, the dark warlock of Asshai, has surrendered." With you?"

"This shouldn't be something difficult to understand, right?" Lind turned to look at Nymeria and said.

Melisandre shook her head repeatedly and said: "This is simply impossible. The dark warlock Jia Ben is definitely not the kind of spellcaster who will surrender to others. Even if you are stronger than him and can kill him easily, he will never do it." Will surrender."

Linde smiled and said: "Yes, being stronger than him is not enough to make a proud person like him surrender, but if the power is beyond his imagination, then the pride in his heart will be wiped out by the power. go."

"What did you do to change his pride?" Melisandre couldn't help but ask curiously.

Linde said calmly: "Maybe it's because he saw me completely destroying Staia."

Melisandre was completely stunned. She never thought that what Lind had done was to destroy the city of corpses that even she did not dare to approach. She had thought that Lind was lying, but She also felt that it was impossible for Linde to lie about this kind of thing. After all, it was difficult for others to find out about Yaxia, but it was easy for her.

When Lind and Melisandre were talking, Stannis and others were completely confused and didn't understand what they were talking about. They just knew that Lind had destroyed something called Styar.

"Is Styar very beautiful?" Stannis couldn't help but asked Melisandre out of curiosity.

"A city, the most dangerous city in the world. It is located upstream of the River of Ashes, deep in the Heart of Shadows, at the bottom of the Dark Abyss. It is said that there is the entrance to the Seven Hells, countless demons, ghouls and beyond. The imaginary monsters are entrenched there, and even the most powerful Shadowbinder will not easily approach there." Melisandre introduced Steia in a special tone, and everyone around her couldn't bear it. I shivered.

After Melisandre introduced Staia, she suddenly realized something and said, "You just said that the monsters in the Shadow Land rioted and attacked Yashai. Does this have anything to do with your destruction of Staia?"

"Maybe." Linde replied vaguely.
