Chapter 75 Plan
According to Arthur, when the tragedy of Summerhall occurred decades ago, King Aegon V wanted to hatch dragons.
He collected seven dragon eggs, but failed to summon the seven dragons he wanted. Instead, he brought disaster.
On the border of Stormlands and Dorne, Summerhall, which stood on the ground, caught fire and burned the king, the crown prince Duncan the Short, the legendary knight Duncan the Tall, and half of the courtiers to death.
This made the Targaryen family, whose population was already declining, even worse.
The reason for the failure to hatch dragon eggs was that there were not enough blood magic materials.
The blood magic materials here refer specifically to special humans such as people with dragon blood, kings, wizards, etc.
According to Arthur's understanding, it is a person with good fortune.
The Dragon Mother used the lives of the horse king, the witch, and the child in her belly to exchange three dragons with blood magic. However, at Summerhall, there were only two blood magic materials, Aegon V and his son Prince Duncan the Short. How could seven dragons be exchanged?
So failure is inevitable.
But if these seven dragon eggs were in Arthur's hands, it would be different.
We already know how Aegon V failed, how could he fall in the same place?
The law of conservation of life must be followed, one blood magic material for one dragon.
In fact, the Targaryen family has a mature and stable technology for hatching dragon eggs, but due to the conspiracy of the Citadel, all the magic-related things were quietly erased by them, so this technology has not been passed down.
Therefore, at this point in time, only low-level hatching technology such as blood magic can be used.
In reality, there are actually quite a few known blood magic materials.
Let alone the five kings in the War of the Five Kings, that is, people with dragon blood, that is, people with Targaryen blood, because King Robert left seeds everywhere, at least twenty can be found.
Of course, the blood of the Lu family is actually two-fold, the dragon blood brought by Robert's grandmother, and the dragon blood of the ancestors of the Lu family.
As for wizards, there are even more of them, including red monks, witches, wizards, etc. As long as you have money, you can always find a few.
But Arthur is a kind person, he can't just exchange a person's life for a dragon's life.
So the range of blood magic materials is very small.
At least it has to be someone who has committed an unforgivable crime.
For example, the bloodthirsty and cruel King Joffrey.
When watching TV series in his previous life, Arthur was very sad that the king was poisoned to death casually.
Although Joffrey did not get the dragon blood of the Deer Family, he was a legitimate king and an excellent blood magic material.
How can it be wasted like this?
This can be exchanged for the life of a dragon, it is expensive!
So Arthur decided to send someone to try to find the dragon egg first, and then plan to hatch a dragon.
Whether it can succeed is another matter, at least prepare first.
"You know Summerhall, after we go south and leave the Royal Forest, I will take people to the River Bend to purchase armor and weapons, and you go to the ruins of Summerhall to find a few ellipsoidal stones."
In Arthur's room, he whispered to his uncle.
The two rooms next to him are occupied by his servants, so it is still very safe, and there is no fear of ears on the wall.
What's more, he is just a small lord. Which power player in King's Landing would be idle and send people to eavesdrop on his room all the time?
"What kind of stone?" Jules' old face was very surprised.
What kind of hobby is this that the nephew actually wants stones?
"It's an ellipsoidal shape, usually one color, with very regular scales on the surface, shining with pearls, and it looks very expensive at first glance."
Arthur described it, and then carefully exhorted:
"This matter is very important, and it is very critical to the revitalization of our family. You must pay attention to it. Go to Summerhall to look for it for a few months or a year. In short, you must find it, at least one."
In fact, there is no difference between finding one and finding seven, because they are all put together.
Jules was confused for a long time, then asked cautiously:
"Is this stone you are talking about also called a dragon egg?"
"As long as you understand it, you must find it anyway. I will send soldier Piper to accompany you."
Among the four people Arthur brought to King's Landing, only Jules and soldier Piper have combat capabilities.
Medan and the stable boy are not combat units, so it is useless to send them to go with them.
More people will easily attract the attention of local nobles and people.
And Piper grew up in his own territory, similar to the family son among the servants in the previous life, and his loyalty is unquestionable.
Letting him follow Jules can avoid any unexpected problems.
Jules nodded and asked again: "There are actually dragon eggs in this place, how did you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know. Find the dragon egg, and when I become king, I will make you a marquis, duke, or even a prince. You can choose any castle on my fiefdom." Arthur tempted.
Anyway, he has nothing now, so he just promised the title and castle casually.
It was impossible to promise Jules money or gold dragons, because he really had tens of thousands of gold dragons.
"Also, this must be kept secret. If it gets out, I will greet you with my sledgehammer." Arthur took another step of insurance.
Jules nodded with a complicated expression.
He was just a scoundrel, how did he suddenly get involved with a legendary item like a dragon egg?
I am an idle person in Hejian, what does a dragon egg mean to me?
After discussing the details for a long time, Jules left with an unspeakable heavy heart.
Following his nephew, he also had to work.
Arthur went to find the soldier Pyp in the next room. He didn't need to tell him what to do with Jules, just told him to keep a close eye on Jules.
This was a family soldier who had never been out of the river, and he resolutely followed the words of Lord Arthur.
This night passed like this.
The next day.
Jules and Arthur met with dozens of free mercenaries without stopping.
Many of them with excellent reputations were accepted by Arthur on the spot, and some who were in Arthur's eyes were also hired.
In the afternoon, the Blood Troupe also met with Arthur and others outside the city.
There were a total of 113 people. According to their members, the rest were on their way on horseback.
Arthur didn't believe it. For a period of time before, the continent of Westeros was extremely peaceful. This group of mercenaries had no business at all, so the members should leave and find their own way out.
Moreover, these people are from the bottom of society. Without a means of communication like ravens, how could they be quickly summoned?
But these one hundred people are enough. Together with the ninety-seven people hired in the morning, Anguy and thirteen Dornish spearmen, Arthur's recruitment plan in King's Landing has come to an end.
[The Bloody Troupe and ninety-seven free mercenaries join your team]
Before the evening, the two hundred sets of armor from Steel Street were also delivered.
The convoy that will transport this batch of armor back to their own territory has been hired and can set off tomorrow.
At that time, the ninety-seven free mercenaries and Desmond, Patrick and others will accompany this convoy, escort it back to the Red Mill, and then arm the trained peasant soldiers with armor.
The Bloody Troupe will follow Arthur south. The lord of the Red Mill is a little worried about letting this group of people go to their own territory without him.
The twins of the Redwyne family will also go south with Arthur. Their faces are the best proof that Arthur has purchased standard armor in the Reach.
