Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 66 Armor

"This is Arthur, the invincible Arthur." Horace Redwyne introduced him like this.

After a simple bandage on his leg, he rushed to attend the party.

Due to the protection of the plate armor, only his thigh flesh was pinched and bleeding and bruised, and his femur was not injured. So he just limped a little, and it was not a big deal.

"I have heard of it. Is it the warrior who beat Cersei's cousin Cleos?"

"Yes, a true warrior is not afraid of power."

"Speaking of which, the Lannisters and the Freys are really perfect relatives. I am happy to see their people being beaten."

Several nobles of the Bay talked about it, and their words were all gloating over the Lannisters and their relatives.

If their feudal lords want to take the throne, the biggest possibility is to replace the political ecological niche of the Lion Family and let the Rose Family produce a queen.

These nobles have all received extremely strict education from the lords, unlike James who was sent to be a servant and Eddard who was sent to be an adopted son, so they still have vision and knowledge.

At such a gathering, they know better than anyone what to say.

Although in other places, what they say may mean something else.

Hopper, the other twin, was also nearby. Seeing Arthur here, he first came over to express his admiration for Arthur's strange power, and then patiently introduced to many nobles how he was completely convinced by Arthur today.

He even boasted about how the lord of the Red Mill fought against thousands of enemies, broke through the army of Raventree City, and killed hundreds of enemies.

He also made up the details with details, as if he was there.

His words were full of affirmation of Arthur's strength and admiration for him.

In fact, his behavior is easy to understand. The more he boasted about Arthur, the more it was natural for him to lose quickly.

It was a typical fanatical behavior of a convert.

Desmond and Patrick also added details at the right time, adding a bit of credibility to Arthur's deeds.

A circle of great nobles also cooperated with the flattery of several people, exclaiming and tut-tutting from time to time.

They are professional in supporting the joke.

Arthur did not correct some mistakes made by Hopper, but quietly ate the delicious cakes made by the court pastry chef and drank the fine wine produced by Qingting Island.

As the second richest family in the country, the food provided at the Rose family's party was exquisite and delicious to match his family's status.

In terms of details, every piece of cake was printed with a rose pattern.

This is terrifying.

Ordinary people eat big pot stews with random flavors, but the top nobles can even print family patterns on a piece of cake.

Inequality can be seen.

Even more exaggerated is the martial arts competition. The champion of the lance competition is 40,000 gold dragons, compared to the annual living cost of Hejian farmers, which is only a few silver deer, and under normal circumstances, one gold dragon can be exchanged for 210 silver deer.

It can be seen that the extravagant life of the top nobles has reached a magical level.

Of course, these are all things that Arthur cannot change. He can only sigh in his heart and then eat a lot with the plate in his hand.

Eating is important!

At this moment, someone's voice spread throughout the hall.

"Sorry, my friends, if I knew about this party in advance, I would arrange it in the Red Castle."

Arthur turned his head and found that it was King Robert's younger brother, the Lord of Stormland, and the Duke of Storm's End Renly.

This person is really good at winning people over, and he has to sell his favors wherever he goes.

Arthur never believed that Renly didn't know the venue of the party in advance.

Because the host of the party, Loras, is his Pythagorean friend and bedmate.

But the party was still held in a courtyard somewhere in the Rose family, which shows that Renly didn't care about it at all.

As soon as this was said, the expressions of the nobles present changed visibly. It seems that this useless nonsense has accumulated a lot of popularity for Renly.

Although Arthur couldn't do such a thing now, he still learned it silently.

When he succeeds in the future, he can always use such a trick to win people's hearts.

Some of the higher-ranking River Bay nobles immediately came up and surrounded the Duke of Storm's End.

Arthur and his friends were very conscious and continued to stay where they were and chat.

After all, they really didn't have much in common with people of the level of the prince's brother and the duke.

In addition to the interesting things they experienced, recalling their ancestors and discovering the relationship between their ancestors were also important topics for many nobles to talk about.

Fortunately, although Arthur's title was a bit low, the history of the surname Bracken was long enough.

In fact, considering that most of the noble families of the River Bay can be related to the long-lost River Bay King Gardener Family, and Bracken was once the King of the River in the period of the ancestors - at least they claimed to be, so a considerable number of the nobles present had a family history that was not as prominent as Arthur's ancestors.

After having a common topic, the relationship was always brought closer very quickly.

Coupled with the Redwyne twins' efforts to promote Arthur to their circle, and Arthur's obvious anti-Lannister stance, the Lord of the Red Mill became the focus of the party when most of the party was over.

Arthur couldn't remember how many nobles from the Reach introduced their family's origins to the Bracken surname.

Even the factions during the Blackfyre Rebellion were brought up.

During the Blackfyre Rebellion, the nobles of the River Reach and the Stormlands, who were dissatisfied with the Iron Throne being too close to Dorne, united and supported Daemon Blackfyre, a "noble bastard" of the Targaryen family, to launch the Blackfyre Rebellion.

Even though the Blackfyre Rebellions were suppressed several times, the Black Dragon Party and the Red Dragon Party that supported the Iron Throne mostly disliked each other.

The legendary knight Blackfish Brynden Tully's refusal to marry the daughter of the Black Dragon Party Redwyne family is a perfect example, because the Tully family is a Red Dragon Party.

Coincidentally, the Brackens also followed the Black Dragon Party to start a rebellion at that time.

This brought everyone closer again.

After hearing about Arthur's conflict with the forces of Raventree City in the north of the territory and Arthur's desire to purchase some armor and weapons from the River Reach family, many nobles present readily agreed to sell him a batch at market price.

One family may sell more than a dozen sets, and seven or eight families together would be very impressive.

Plus the 300 sets of standard armor and weapons promised by Redwyne's twins, the total amount reached 600 to 700 sets.

This made Arthur very happy, but also a little anxious.

After the tournament, we must act quickly to buy armor in the Reach, otherwise, once the War of the Five Kings breaks out a few weeks later, these elites may not be willing to fulfill their promises.

After all, in troubled times, armor is more useful than gold dragons and food.

My neighbor farms and I make guns, my neighbor is my granary!
