Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory
Chapter 248 Garth’s ups and downs
Garth Tyrell covered his stomach. There was something wrong with his stomach since the morning. Although this was already his old problem, it appeared at the wrong time because he was sent to receive the Lord of Summer Hall, Lind. ·Tyra, if you suddenly fall into an old habit in front of Linde, the Tyrell family will be embarrassed.
In fact, he really didn't want to come to greet Lynd Terra, because Lynd was just an ordinary vassal of the Tyrell family ten years ago. At that time, as the steward of Highgarden, he should meet Lynd. It was Linde who saluted him first.
However, now he had to wait in Rose Bay in advance to welcome Linde's arrival, which made him feel as uncomfortable as a servant.
However, he had to come this time, because in terms of status and status in the entire High Court, there were only a handful of people suitable to meet Linde, and he was the only one free now. If he refused this task, he could not let him. Will the Duke of Highgarden come to greet his vassal?
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the welcoming task he took on, Garth was not dissatisfied with Lind. In fact, he admired Lind Terra very much and believed that he could appear among the vassals of the Tyrell family. Such a legendary figure is definitely an honor for the Tyrell family.
More importantly, with the rise of Lind Terra, Highgarden has also benefited greatly.
As the director of the High Court, Garth is very sensitive to the various incomes of the High Court. In recent years, the profits and taxes generated by various trades between the High Court and Summer Hall have accounted for one-third of the High Court's income. And this ratio is still increasing, and it may become one-half this year.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that with the rise of Linde, Highgarden's status in the Seven Kingdoms has also risen. After all, no matter how Linde rises, he is still a vassal of Highgarden.
Therefore, this time Garland went to the Summer Hall in person and invited Linde to his wedding to show his importance. He had the same intention when he was sent to greet Linde.
Just when Gars was thinking about how to face Linde later, there was a sudden movement from behind the team. He looked back and found a team of more than a dozen people wearing the robes of monks from the Church of the Seven Gods walking over. The leader was This person is none other than the new Archbishop of the High Seat Cathedral, Taxi.
"Lord Gars." When the team came to the front, the Archbishop of Taxi nodded slightly to Gars and saluted.
Seeing that this team of monks from the Church of the Seven Gods were also here to greet Linde, although Gars did not show any abnormal expression on his face, he felt quite unhappy in his heart.
However, despite being unhappy, he still had to follow the proper etiquette, so he nodded to the other party and said, "Archbishop Taxi."
After saying hello, the two of them became like strangers who had never met each other before. They stood on both sides of the road without any further communication and did not even look at each other.
In the past, most of the time for the appointment of archbishops in the High Seat Church, the High Court proposed several candidates, and then the Church of the Seven Gods selected a suitable archbishop candidate from among them.
However, this time the Archbishop of the High Seat Church appointed the Seven Gods Church without notifying the High Court at all, and directly transferred a bishop from the valley to serve as the Archbishop of the High Seat Church.
It would be fine if the Archbishop was just appointed without informing the Tyrell family. After all, similar things have happened in the past. But the problem is that the Archbishop of Tassie is very restless and even wants to interfere in the internal affairs of High Court. This is already touching the surface. The Tyrell family's bottom line has been reached, so the Duke of Metz has planned to ask the Church of the Seven to replace the Archbishop of the High Seat Church after Garland's wedding.
The reason why the Archbishop of Taxi came to greet Linde now was because he had obviously heard some rumors and wanted to use Linde's status as the Chosen One of the Seven Gods to support him. This was something Garth was a little worried about.
As we all know, Linde and the Church of the Seven Gods are one and the same. Even if he came up with a belief in the Storm God, it did not affect his relationship with the Church of the Seven Gods at all, and the two even became closer.
Especially after Lind came back from beyond the Great Wall and brought legends such as White Walkers and Ghouls into the Seven Kingdoms, the number of belief factions within the Church of the Seven Gods such as the God-Chosen Redemption Sect, the God-Chosen Salvation Sect, and others related to Lind Terra increased day by day, and It has become the core and most mainstream belief sect of the Church of the Seven Gods.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lynde Terra has now completely succeeded the Archbishop of Baelor in King's Landing and has become the leader of the entire Church of the Seven Gods.
With Lynde Terra's influence in the church, if he clearly expresses his support for the Archbishop of Tassie later, even if the High Court asks the church to replace the archbishop, I am afraid that the church will not agree to the High Court's request. .
"Sir, Sir Lind Terra's team has arrived at Toe Mill." Just when Gars felt a little headache from the sudden accident, the knights he sent out before had rushed back to report Lind's current location. .
Upon hearing this, Garth immediately tidied up his clothes to cheer up the knights of Highgarden behind him.
On the side, the Archbishop of Taxi also asked his monks to dress himself in gorgeous and heavy bishop's clothing, and picked up the bishop's scepter he made himself, dressed like a peacock with its tail spread.
Soon a team holding high the blood-based long sword flag appeared at the end of the road, and the composition of this team made people feel a little weird.
The people leading the way at the front of the team were a dozen knights wearing gorgeous full-body armor, which was normal. What was unusual was that the people following them were two groups of monks and nuns from the church.
These two groups of monks and nuns are very tall and strong. Each one looks like a small magic mountain, and their clothes are as eye-catching as their bodies.
I saw that the monk walking on the left was wearing the robe of a silent monk, but he was wearing chain armor underneath. The cane in his hand was actually a spear, and he looked more like a warrior.
The nun on the right is even more exaggeratedly dressed. She wears a set of full-body leather armor on the inside, and the nun's robe on the outside is a layer of mail. In addition, she holds a book of the Seven Sacred Scriptures that looks like it is made of metal. He was holding an iron rod half as tall as a man, with prismatic armor-piercing thorns on both sections of the iron rod.
"They are the silent monks and nuns of redemption in Summer Hall." Someone among the knights behind Gars whispered.
As expressed in this sentence, although the Silent Monks and the Sisters of Redemption are both from the Temple of Redemption, those who know their origins prefer to classify them as the armed forces under Lind Terra.
According to rumors, these Silent Monks and Redemption Sisters were specially selected by Lind Terra to protect his family. Each of them has received personal training from Lind and has very superb combat skills.
Few people know how strong these monks and nuns are, but everyone knows that since Linde dares to safely hand over his wife and children to these people, it means that the strength of these people is absolutely extraordinary.
However, Linde's actions made some knights dissatisfied, because they felt that it was the knights' responsibility to protect the safety of the lord and his family. Linde's actions were obviously a distrust of the knights, and some even accused Linde of this. The restoration of the Order's arms in disguise.
Garth was also one of those who were dissatisfied with Lind for allowing the church to intervene in secular rights. Because the Archbishop of Tassie's overreaching behavior originated from Lind, so when he saw that the silent monks and the nuns of salvation were also in Lind's team, His face was slightly gloomy, but he quickly recovered.
The Archbishop of Taxi on the side had a smile on his face, as if he felt that with Linde's relationship with the church, he should be able to get the support he wanted this time.
As the team approached, everyone soon saw Lind Terra walking in the center of the team.
At this moment, Lind Terra was not wearing the dragon armor that was well known to the world, but was wearing a set of gold armor that looked more gorgeous and powerful.
Those knights who had heard about Lind's legendary experience in the Essos continent in taverns and inns quickly recognized that the armor on Lind's body was the golden lion knight armor in the story, and in their hearts, the real lion knight The armor is more gorgeous and eye-catching than the Lion Knight armor they imagined in their minds when listening to the story.
Although they sincerely wanted a set of Lion Knight armor of their own, looking at those heavy armor pieces, they could only give up their dreams with a bitter smile, because they knew very well that even if they built such a I'm afraid I can't even wear armor.
While the knights of Highgarden were all attracted by Lind's gorgeous armor, Garth Tyrell's attention was focused on Augustus, who was sitting on the front of the saddle and held in Lind's arms. Du Terra.
As the heir to Summer Hall, Augustus Terra's attention from the top management of the Seven Kingdoms is no worse than that of Lynde Terra. However, Lynde and Nymeria's protection of the little guy is too strict. They didn't even know what this little guy looked like, which naturally made everyone more curious.
However, this time, Lind actually brought his son to Garland's wedding, which undoubtedly showed his closeness and trust to the Tyrell family in Highgarden. Garth, who was still a little worried at first, also showed a look of worry on his face. smile.
The team stopped in front of Gars. Lind got off his horse, picked up Augustus who was sitting on the saddle, held hands, and walked towards Gars.
As they passed the team of monks and nuns, two people each walked out and followed Linde, protecting Linde and Augustus in the middle.
"Lord Gars, I'm sorry to trouble you to wait here!" When he came to Gars, Linde took the initiative to salute Gars.
"No, I..." Garth was about to respond.
Archbishop Taxi on the side took the lead, walked to Linde and Gars, and said: "Lord Chosen One, I am Archbishop Taxi of the High Seat Cathedral. I visited you in the Summer Hall more than a month ago. It's a pity that you were..."
"Archbishop Taxi, I know you." Linde raised his hand to interrupt Archbishop Taxi's self-introduction and said: "I have always believed that the church controls the belief in gods and the lord controls secular rights. The two can cooperate and communicate. But you can't interfere with rights that don't belong to you. What you did in the High Court has brought a lot of trouble to the church. The church should have made a decision on your behavior. You are still honest. Let’s wait for news from the church in the high church!”
The Archbishop of Taxi, who was full of confidence just now, sat down on the ground after hearing Linde's words, completely stunned.
None of the monks who followed him came forward to help him, they all looked at him indifferently. Obviously, what the archbishop did was also unacceptable to the other monks in the high church. It was just because of his status as archbishop that he had to compromise. Now Lin De's words were undoubtedly telling them that the archbishop would not last long, so naturally there was no need to give him a good look.
Looking at the performance of the Archbishop and the monks in the High Holy Tower, Linde couldn't help but sigh. In his opinion, both the Archbishop and the monks were unqualified and needed to be replaced. It was best to replace them with his own people. They should be some truly devout monks. After all, the High Seat Cathedral is also a very important church in the entire Church of the Seven Gods, so there cannot be any problems.
The embarrassed look of the Archbishop of the High Seat Church not only disgraced himself, but also the dignity of the Church of the Seven Gods. Naturally, Linde would not leave it alone. He turned to the four silent monks behind him and said: "Archbishop Taxi He's feeling a little unwell. You can escort him back to the High Seat Church and let him have a good rest. As for Garland's wedding, let the High Seat Church appoint another monk to preside over it. "
After hearing the order, the four silent monks immediately walked to Archbishop Taxi, helped him up from the ground, held his arm on each side, and walked towards the High Court.
Archbishop Taxi recovered from the panic and wanted to say something, but was punched in the neck by the Silent Monk, knocking him unconscious.
The monks in the high church were all stunned when they saw Archbishop Taxi being taken away by the silent monk. Then they all saluted Linde and caught up with the silent monk.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Linde, I made you laugh." Garth said helplessly.
"No, this should be my apology to the Tyrell family. Because of me, some ambitious people appeared in the Church of the Seven Gods. These guys actually tried to get involved in worldly power, not only in Highgarden, but also in the Valley. , Hejian Land, etc., this kind of thing has happened," Linde also said with a serious expression: "Before coming, I have discussed with the Tribunal of the Church of the Seven Gods, and I will deal with these bishops and monks who have transgressed. They will impose penalties, and the Archbishop of the High Seat Church will also be replaced. The new candidates will still follow the tradition. The Tyrell family will propose candidates and the church will select them. I hope the Tyrell family can finalize the list of candidates as soon as possible. "
At this moment, Garth was very satisfied with Linde's attitude. Although Linde's move to deal with the Archbishop of the High Seat Cathedral was regarded as interfering in the affairs of the High Court, this did not make him feel dissatisfied at all. Instead, he felt that it was left to Linde to handle it. It's the most appropriate thing. If the High Court handles it, some unpleasant things will inevitably happen with the church, which will be detrimental to the Tyrell family.
Therefore, in his opinion, Lind had solved a big problem for the Tyrell family. It was too late for him to be happy, so how could he feel disgusted.
