Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Just when Randyll Tarly led the coalition forces from the Reach to King's Landing, and all the troops that King's Landing could muster were in place and ready to head to the west, Lind's men had also arrived at the northern border of the Bay of Cailin. They stopped near the neck of the border territory.

After more than ten days of high-intensity traveling, although there were breaks in between, everyone still inevitably felt tired. If they continued to move forward, they might not have much energy to deal with the battle even if they reached Carlin Bay.

In addition, disease is also a problem. Not long after entering the swamp, more than a dozen people fell ill. Fortunately, Linde followed the principle of being prepared and asked Moloa to prepare a lot of medicine before setting off from Tengshi Town. Among them were medicines specifically designed to treat various diseases in the swamp. After giving them to more than a dozen people, they all recovered quickly, but their spirits were a little poor.

Because of this, Linde could only stop and planned to find a dry place to let the team rest for two days and adjust their condition before setting off.

It's just that finding a dry place in a place like the Neck is as difficult as finding a patch of snow in Dorne.

"Sir, we should be not far from Huishuiwang now. We can go to Huishuiwang to rest." Just when Lind was planning to make some work on the spot, Daisy walked up to Lind and said.

"Daisy, do you know the location of Gray Water Watch?" Lind asked.

Daisy shook her head and said: "Except for the people from the Reed family, no one knows the correct location of Gray Water Watch in the Neck. It is said that Gray Water Watch is built on a movable island. The island can be moved in the Neck." It wanders around in the swamp, so it doesn’t have a fixed location.”

"Since we can't even find the place, how can we go to Gray Water Watch? Fly into the air to look for it?" Adjutant Raul twisted his damp cloak, wringing out some of the water inside to reduce the weight. Said somewhat frustrated.

It has to be said that Linde underestimated the trouble that the geographical environment of Ningze caused for him. The team that had adapted to the warm environment of the south came to Ningze, which is both cold and humid. Breathing in a breath of air will make your nose feel like water. No matter how high the morale of the place is, it will be affected to some extent.

"We don't need to look for it." Daisy didn't pay attention to Raul's complaints. She jumped off the horse and found a handful of brown-leaf weeds in the grass nearby. "Find some of this brown-leaf grass and put it in." When they are lit and smoke rises, people from the Reed family will send people over when they see it.”

After listening to Daisy's words, Lind immediately asked people to collect the brown-leaf grass, pile it together and light it. Soon a pile of black smoke rose up and shot straight into the sky until it dispersed at a height of several hundred meters.

After waiting for a while, Honor, who was standing next to Lind, suddenly seemed to notice something and looked towards the grass in the swamp not far away. Lind also followed Honor's line of sight.

I saw a rather large lizard crawling out of the grass, raising its head slightly and looking at Linde and others.

Because Linde's war horse has adapted to the power of Glory, the appearance of this lizard lion did not cause the war horse to panic. Daisy and others drew their weapons, ready to deal with this rash lizard lion at any time.

However, Lind raised his hand to stop them, jumped off Black Feng's back, walked on the muddy steps, walked up to the lizard lion, and said, "Lord Holland Reed?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at the lizard in surprise. They couldn't connect the lizard in front of them with Holland Reed, the leader of the Reed family.

Linde was different. In Linde's sight and Glory's sight, the lizard-lion in front of him exuded a gray mist. This gray mist vaguely took on the shape of a human, lying on the lizard-lion, controlling the lizard-lion's movements.

In his memory, Howland Reed is an extremely mysterious being. He is most likely a shapechanger or a green seer, and he seems to be related to the Children of the Forest who still live in the Neck. Contact, provide shelter to these children of the forest, and also obtain ancient knowledge from the children of the forest, and are one of the people who know the most secrets of this world.

Therefore, when Lind saw the obvious traces of magic on this lizard lion, and the timing of its appearance was such a coincidence, he immediately thought of Holland Reed.

When Linde's inquiry ended, a look of surprise flashed across the lizard's cold eyes, and then he nodded slightly.

"I am Lynde Terra. I was ordered by the king to solve the problem of the capture of Cailin Bay. Now I want to find a place to rest and learn about the situation in Cailin Bay. Please, can you provide us with a place to rest? ?"

The lizard lion heard Linde's words, then looked Linde up and down, and then looked at the glory next to Linde. He was silent for a moment, nodded, then turned around, raised his head towards Linde, and signaled Linde Wait for someone to follow.

Seeing this, Lind returned to his horse and led the team behind the lizard, leaving the main road and entering the swamp area next to it.

"Watch your steps and don't get separated. Two horses go side by side and follow the horse in front."

Linde could feel that the road led by the lizard lion was a hard road that was easy to trample on. However, this hard road was not particularly spacious and could barely accommodate three horses running in parallel. There were swamps on both sides, so he kept reminding the queue behind.

Although, there were a few people in the middle who accidentally walked out of the road. Fortunately, the muddy ground in the nearby swamp was not too soft. They adjusted their horses in time and quickly returned to the road.

After following the lizard lion for about ten minutes, the team came to a small island surrounded by rivers on three sides and full of reeds on one side.

On the island, dozens of houses were built with a steeple tower house as the center, and a small square in the middle. There were many people in the square, including children and women.

When these people saw so many cavalry appearing outside the village, they were all panicked. They got up and took the children back to their houses. At the same time, some men also walked to the square. They all held bows and arrows in their hands, but they saw The leading lizard queen all took their hands away from the quiver. It was obvious that they all knew this lizard.

At this time, Linde saw the gray mist on the lizard dissipate, and the lizard returned to its beast state.

I don’t know whether it was instructed by Holland Reed or was frightened by the murderous Glory. It swung its body quickly and got into the reed field, and then saw a streak of water on the water. Traces disappear into the distance.

"Don't enter the village, camp outside. The land here is still dry. Find some dry firewood, light a few bonfires, and dry your clothes. Also, take care of your horses and don't let them go into the swamp." Lind gave instructions to Jon and others, then looked at Nymeria who was a little tired, and said, "Let's go meet the master here!"

Nymeria nodded, dismounted with Linde, handed over the matter of setting up camp to her adjutant, and walked towards the village.

At this time, the people in the village seemed to realize that Linde and the others were not enemies and no longer showed any hostility. However, they did not disperse. Instead, they looked curiously at Linde, who was in gorgeous armor, and Namei, who was unusually tall. Leah and the giant beast Glory following them.

Although they often see huge lizards, this is the first time they see a shadow lynx as big as Glory. However, none of them dare to get close to Glory because they have cultivated it in the swamp for many years. Their danger instinct told them that Glory was dangerous, and the moment Glory's eyes swept over them, their hairs stood up.

"Everyone get out of here, don't look at the guests like country bumpkins." A slightly hoarse voice came from the tower house, and then I saw a man wearing a green short shirt, a hooded cloak, carrying a long bow, and wearing a The bearded man with the knight's sword came out, followed by two children, a boy and a girl.

Seeing this man and the two children beside him, Linde knew that this man was Howland Reed and his children, Meera Reed and Jojen Reed.

When Huolan appeared, Glory seemed a lot nervous, his body tensed slightly, and he leaned down in an attacking posture.

Linde was surprised when he saw Glory's actions, because this was the first time Linde saw Glory showing nervousness to a person.

Linde could see traces of magic flowing on Huo Lan's body, but could not see the details of the magic power, so he shared vision with Glory and saw Huo Lan's form in Glory's eyes.

I saw Huo Lan, who was still in a normal human form just now, turned into a huge lizard, and there was a human head on the head of the lizard. However, this head was not Huo Lan, but a human head made of soil and vines. A weird head.

Lind exited the visual effects of Glory, reached out and touched Glory's neck to comfort him. When he saw Huo Lan walking over, he stepped forward and saluted him: "Hello, Mr. Huo Lan."

Nymeria also came forward to greet him.

"Hello, Lord Fu Deli, the chosen one of the Seven Gods." Holland did not address Lind's knighthood, but the title promoted by the Church of the Seven Gods, "These are my daughter Meera and son Jojian. "

Linde took off his helmet, held it in his arms, then squatted down and looked at these two children who were very likely to influence the direction of the world in the future.

Obviously, the current Jojen Reed has not obtained the green vision from the Three-Eyed Raven, and is still just an ordinary child.

Linde's gaze made both children feel nervous. As the elder sister, Meira was also very timid, but she still instinctively stretched out her hand to block Jojian behind her.

At this time, Linde suddenly had an idea and said to Holland Reed in an extremely abrupt manner: "Master Holland, a place like the swamp is not suitable for children to live in. The warm river bend is suitable. After this rebellion is suppressed, After the war, I want to adopt them as my adopted son and daughter and take them to the Reach. What do you think?"

As soon as Lind said this, not only Huo Lan and the two little guys were stunned, but Nymeria was also stunned. She had no idea that Lind would suddenly want to adopt a child.

However, she was not dissatisfied, and thought it would be good to bring the two children to Firestone Town to be Brienne's companions, especially since Meera, a girl, could be Brienne's female companion, so that Brienne would not In the military camp, he always hung out with a group of men, and his behavior became more and more rude.

"Master Linde, are you kidding?" Holland asked.

Linde said seriously: "Of course not, I am very serious."

The reason why he wanted to adopt Meera and Jojen as his adopted sons and daughters and bring them to the Reach was to see if the Three-Eyed Crow could still find Jojen as a substitute and take Bran to Eternal Winter for him. place.

"I'm sorry, Master Linde." Although Huo Lan was a little moved by Linde's proposal, he was obviously worried. He looked at his children, shook his head, and said, "People from the Reed family are suitable to stay here. In the swamp, this place will give us strength and spirit. Once we leave here, we will be like fish out of water and cannot survive.”

Seeing Huo Lan's refusal, Linde sighed slightly. He felt that Huo Lan's rejection of his proposal should not be due to some living environment issues, but because of what he knew, or because he knew the mission of his children, and he chose to follow it. Mission, unwilling to change, even if this so-called mission will eventually cause his children to die in that far north.

Linde did not force it. He reached out and touched the heads of the two children, took out two of his spare dragon rune necklaces, handed them to the two children, and said, "These are necklaces I made myself. Just treat them like this." It's a greeting gift. Don't wear it at ordinary times. Put it in the box. When you feel depressed and confused, wear it. It will make you feel better, but remember not to wear it for a long time. it."

Over the past year, Linde has conducted various experiments on this dragon rune necklace that can calm the side effects of the Dragon Feast Ceremony. He found that ordinary people can also wear this dragon rune necklace as long as it is not worn for a long time, and it is It can make your mind clearer afterwards.

So he also made a special pair for Nymeria, Moroya and Burt, who often have to use their brains. The two pairs he is currently giving to the two children are his own spare ones.

The two children were quickly attracted by the dragon rune necklace in front of them and wanted to reach out for it, but then they thought of something and turned to look at Huo Lan.

Horan himself has abilities similar to those of a shapeshifter. Although he does not know the secrets contained in the dragon rune necklace, he can still feel the power contained in it, especially after knowing that this necklace is actually made by Linde himself. , and was even more surprised and curious about Linde's ability.

"Take it! Remember what Mr. Linde said just now, don't put on the necklace easily." Huo Lan nodded to his children, and then reminded him in a more serious tone.

The two children happily took the necklace in their hands, and at the moment they took it in their hands, they both felt something unusual about the necklace, with expressions of excitement and curiosity on their faces.

Later, Holland invited Lind and Nymeria into his tower house. At this time, the stove was lit in the tower house. The warm heat dissipated the chill of the swamp. Lind and Nymeria also sat on the stove. Next to him, he was drying out the moisture on his body, and picked up the bread brought by the servant, dipped some salt in the wooden plate next to him, and after eating it, he fulfilled his guest rights.
