Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory.

Chapter 37 Dragon Rune Necklace

Looking at the broken cup, Linde looked at his hand again. He immediately realized something and followed him to use some testing methods to check the condition of his body very carefully. The results surprised him.

Because he found that while absorbing and sorting out the memories of the lost knight, he also completed a dragon feast ceremony under the influence of Golden Finger.

Although this Dragon Feast Ceremony did not bring him particularly powerful extraordinary power, it did increase his strength a lot. He felt that if he were allowed to return to the competition arena now, even if he did not use any tricks, Even if it's a head-on fight, you can still win the final victory.

What's more important is that his body's strength now allows Linde to start using the dual-sword swordsmanship of the Lost Knight without the need for high-intensity strength training, because he is strong enough to wield two knight's swords.

In addition to strength, he also found that his bones and internal organs had become much stronger, which was equivalent to improving his overall physique to a higher level. This not only helped him have faster speed, stronger strength, and longer endurance, but also It can greatly improve his recovery speed after injury.

The current physical strength made Linde couldn't help but think of a person, that is the Magic Mountain, and it is not the Magic Mountain in the normal state, but the Magic Mountain made into a living dead. Although it cannot be as immortal as the corpse version of the Magic Mountain, At least the physical quality shouldn't be much worse.

This was only the effect of the Dragon Feast Ritual, which made Linde begin to look forward to the second Dragon Feast Ritual bringing more changes to him.

It’s just that the next Dragon Feast Ceremony cannot be held in a short time, because if the power brought by this Dragon Feast Ceremony is not thoroughly digested and the side effects contained in it are not solved, then using the Dragon Feast Ritual again will only cause some unforeseen consequences. Expected changes, and those changes are usually not good ones.

While he was excited about the improvement in his physical fitness, Linde also had some headaches about the side effects of the Dragon Feast Ritual.

Now he has felt this side effect, because when he thinks about opponents and enemies, he can't help but have some violent emotions. This violent emotion combined with the memory of the Peacemaker battle has caused a negative impact on Lind's spirit. The huge impact has become a problem that he urgently needs to solve now.

As for the solution, it is also very simple. There is a solution in the training method of the lost knight. You only need an obsidian called dragon crystal and make it into the corresponding dragon rune necklace. If you wear it for a long time, you can Little by little it alleviates the side effects and eventually eliminates them completely, but it is ineffective in the face of a completely out-of-control situation.

Thinking of the effect of the dragon crystal rune necklace, Lind couldn't help but want to make one immediately, so he called Raul in who was guarding outside the tent and asked: "Did anything happen when I was resting just now? ?”

Raul shook his head and said: "No, everything is normal. However, Mr. Garland sent someone to look for you, but when he heard that you were resting, he did not enter the tent. He just asked me to convey that you do not need to perform any tasks these days. For any task, you can take a good rest and stroll around King's Landing. In addition, the championship bonuses have been sent to you. The Duke has exchanged them for gold tickets from the Rose Trading Company. They are now placed with Lord Garland. You can go there at any time. Pick."

Linde was not surprised that the bonus would be exchanged for gold tickets from Rose Trading Company. Although there would be some losses during the exchange process, compared with the trouble of having to look after [-] gold dragons at any time, this loss was nothing. Insignificant.

He was not in a hurry to withdraw the huge sum of money. It was obviously better to leave it with Garland and let Garland keep it for him than to carry the huge sum of money with him and pay attention to its safety at all times.

"Do you know where I can buy obsidian?" Linde then asked.

"Obsidian?" Raul was stunned, and then asked doubtfully: "What is that?"

Linde explained using a more popular name: "It's Dragon Crystal."

"Huh? That thing seems to be sold in places that sell gems, and it seems to be available in blacksmith shops." Raul was not very clear and answered vaguely.

Linde shook his head and said: "What I need is a complete large piece of obsidian, not fragments."

Raul thought for a while and said: "I remember that Scar-Eyed Mitt of the Shield team seemed to have a dragon crystal dagger, and he always showed it off."

"Scar-eyed Mitt?" Lind thought about it for a moment, and soon remembered that this man seemed to have been his sparring partner, and he had good sword and shield skills. It took him a lot of effort to break through his shield defense. Thinking of this, he ordered: "Go and ask Scar Eye if he is willing to sell the dagger?"

"Okay, sir." After hearing this, Raul immediately walked out of the tent and ran toward the Shield team's camp at a trot.

After a while, Raul returned to the tent and brought someone with him, this person was Scar-eyed Mitt.

"Great bear hunter, I am willing to dedicate my dragon crystal dagger to you as a gift." Before Raoul could speak, Scar-eyed Mitt took out the obsidian dagger from his waist, held it in both hands, and offered it to Linde road.

Linde did not take the dagger, but looked at Scar-eyed Mitt and said, "What do you want?"

Scar-eyed Mitte showed a look of reverence on his face and said, "I sincerely admire you and am willing to..."

Lind interrupted the other party and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. I don't have that much time to bother you. Tell your true thoughts. If it is reasonable, I will consider it."

Scar-eyed Mitte was silent for a moment and said, "I want to join the cavalry."

Linde was stunned and said, "My cavalry team is full."

"No, I'm talking about the new cavalry." Scar-eyed Mitt gently opened the tent curtain with a cautious look, looked outside through the gap, and saw no one outside, lowered his voice and said: " I have a friend who serves in the Duke's Guard. He told me that after your lord left, the Duke and the others were discussing your placement. Lord Roger and Maester Morath thought that you should be brought back to Highgarden for training. You can serve as the captain of the Duke's Guard in the future. However, Lord Fortimer thinks you should be placed in a more important place, such as being in charge of suppressing bandits in the River Bend."

As he said that, he looked at Linde and said cautiously: "My lord, do you have any misunderstanding with Lord Fotimo? If so, it's best to go to Lord Fotimo to reconcile now, so as not to delay this good news." Chance."

Lind looked at Scar-Eyed Mitt and said nothing. In the eyes of ordinary people, staying in High Court and becoming the captain of the Duke's Guard, a close associate of the Duke, is definitely the best choice, at least compared to sleeping outside and risking one's life to collect the money. Bandits are much stronger.

However, they did not know that in Linde's heart, Fertimo's proposal was what he wanted, because if he was really allowed to lead the team to suppress the bandits, he would inevitably be given relatively independent military power. As an Easterner, he knew very well about military power. What does it mean, especially for a person from a lower-class background like him.And more importantly, if he is suppressing bandits, his scope of activities will be the vast mountains and hilly areas from Kuqiao to Yulin. This will undoubtedly give him a lot of places to operate. If he is lucky, say Maybe he can get a piece of territory in advance.

However, before that he needed to get Fortimo's proposal approved.

So after thinking for a moment, Linde said with a serious face: "Not enough. The value of a single dragon crystal dagger is not enough to be a member of the Duke's Guard. More is needed."

Scar-eyed Mitte was stunned. He did not expect that Linde would give him such a response. In his opinion, Linde should either reject him or agree, but he never expected that Linde would bargain.

Now that they have bargained, things have to be discussed. Scar-eyed Mitt also considered increasing the price, but after thinking about it, he found that he didn't seem to have many valuable things on hand.

"If you don't have anything else of value, it doesn't matter. I'll make you a proposal. If you do well, then this spot will be given to you." Seeing Scar-eyed Mitt's embarrassed look, Linde suggested. : "As you can imagine, I will definitely go to Highgarden to be trained by Lord Roger. If the cavalry is expanded, I will definitely have a lot of places on hand, but I cannot choose all of these places, because At that time, the adults in High Court will definitely need some places. But even so, I can still squeeze out ten places. I can give you one of the places, but you have to help me with the remaining nine places. When it is sold, the higher the price, the better.”

Hearing Linde's words, Scar-eyed Mitt and Raul both showed surprised expressions. They obviously did not expect that Linde would make such a proposal.

Although accepting bribes is a common thing, as long as people with a little power in their hands will more or less make some money from it, it is the first time that they have seen Linde blatantly sell the quota of the cavalry. .

Raul quickly sensed something was wrong and wanted to persuade Linde, but was stopped by Linde's wink.

Scar-eyed Mitt thought about it seriously and found that it was not harmful to him, so he agreed without hesitation.

After Scar-Eyed Mitt left, Raul didn't understand why Lind did this. In his opinion, Lind had just received a championship bonus, and the Tyrell family would also give some monetary rewards. After all, Lind had received The championship can be regarded as bringing glory to the Tyrell family. There is no need for Lind to be greedy for the money from selling his quota.

With confusion, Raul reminded him with a puzzled look on his face: "My lord, I'm afraid there's something wrong with what you're doing. If the Duke and other cronies around you know about it..."

"Don't worry, I know exactly what will happen." Linde gestured to Raul, and then told him to go to the tanner and blacksmith in the camp to get some tools for engraving and polishing.

Raul looked at Linde's expression of having everything under control, and realized that Linde must be planning something. He just didn't see it through, so he didn't think about it any more. Instead, he followed Linde's instructions and used various tools. Find it.

After finding the tools, Linde began to cut the obsidian dagger in his hand into suitable pieces according to the pattern of the obsidian dragon rune necklace in his memory, and then carefully polished it.

When making the Obsidian Dragon Rune Necklace, Linde discovered that the memory of the lost knight given to him by Goldfinger was very different from the situation when he first gained the Peacemaker combat experience.

When he first gained the Peacemaker's combat experience, he still needed a long period of training before he could fully integrate all the combat experience and be able to fight like the Peacemaker.

But this time after he merged the memories of the lost knight, it was as if the owner of these memories completely overlapped with him. All combat experience and movement habits were integrated into his body and spirit. In other words, as long as his physical fitness If the requirements are met, then he will be able to display all the swordsmanship and combat skills of the Lost Knight without the need for special training.

The reason why he discovered this situation was entirely because when he made the obsidian dragon rune necklace, it went very smoothly. It was so smooth that he seemed to have made hundreds or thousands of the same necklace. In fact, this was his first time. The first time I carve something is also the first time I make a necklace.

It only took him ten minutes to polish the obsidian into the shape of the necklace pendant in his memory, and then picked up a carving knife and skillfully carved dragon runes on the necklace.

As the hardest stone, it is very difficult to engrave patterns or patterns on obsidian. Even a jewelry master who specializes in engraving will need to spend a lot of effort to engrave patterns on it.

But Linde was completely different. He could easily find some fragile parts of the obsidian surface. Starting from those fragile parts, he could carve dragon runes on the obsidian surface as easily as carving on the surface of soil.

As the carving knife moved, he soon carved the dragon runes completely on the obsidian surface, but something strange happened next.

When he took back the carving knife and was about to see the effect of the obsidian pendant, he felt a burst of cold air coming from the obsidian, and then the surface cracked quickly and broke into pieces of different sizes.

"Wrong engraving?" Seeing this change, Linde couldn't help but frowned, and then carefully recalled the process of inscribing the dragon rune just now, and found that he had inscribed it perfectly, without any mistakes.

So, he picked up another piece of obsidian and started carving again. This time he slowed down a lot and was more careful, trying to make every rune line in the perfect position. In the end, it took him twice as long to finish it. Complete the obsidian engraving.

As a result, just like the first obsidian dragon rune pendant, this pendant also emitted a burst of cold air the moment the carving knife was moved away, and then completely shattered.

Linde, who did not believe in evil, picked up the last piece of obsidian and continued to engrave. The end result was the same. The obsidian was completely shattered under the influence of the mysterious cold air.

"Is it because the world is different that the results are different?" Linde muttered in his heart.

He carefully recalled every detail about the Obsidian Dragon Rune Necklace, from the necklace itself to the production process, and he found the problem.

"Can only obsidian sprayed by dragon flames be able to withstand the power of dragon runes?" Linde said to himself with a look of surprise on his face.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the location of the Dragon Cave in King's Landing City. It seemed that there was obsidian sprayed by dragon flames there.
