Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory
Chapter 308 Xion’s expectations
The news of Lord Eddard's death filled the study in Riverrun with deep sadness.
However, this sad mood was not enough to affect Lord Leech of the Skinned Family. Roose Bolton pushed He-Man away, walked up to Robb, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Robb, you are just like this." Has it been a blow? Lord Eddard has passed away. You are now the Duke of Winterfell and the Warden of the North. It is not the time for you to be sad. You need to carry the entire North and lead us to fight until Lord Eddard is avenged. Now please stand up and stand up like a man."
"Yes, yes! Now is not the time to be sad. I can't sit here and be sad. I want to stand up and lead everyone to King's Landing to make that bastard pay the price!" Robb gritted his teeth and shed tears. He swallowed, supported the table with his hands, stood up, his eyes filled with angry bloodshot eyes, and roared.
"If we enter King's Landing as vassals and punish Joffrey I, no matter how good our reasons are, we will still be regarded as regicide by the world, so we need to change our identity, one that is equivalent to the Iron Throne." Roose Bolton said with a serious look: "The title Torrhen Stark lost in the hands of Aegon the Conqueror should now be regained, King of the North."
"King in the North." Robb's eyes showed a strange light when he heard this title.
"Yes, the King in the North." Roose Bolton said solemnly: "Only the King in the North is qualified to fight against the Iron Throne. Your Majesty Robb, now is the time to take back the glory that belongs to the Stark family. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty Robb! King of the North." Herman Taoha, who was on the side, also looked very excited and shouted loudly.
Robb's eyes became firm as he heard the title of King of the North.
When Robb decided to become king, Theon Greyjoy, who was sent to the Iron Islands by him, had just arrived in the waters near Pyke Island.
The reason why we arrived at Pike Island so late was entirely because we encountered a big storm on the way, and the ship had to stay close to the nearby coast for two days.
Although the process of returning home was a little bad, Theon was still in a very good mood. Even when he learned that he was about to arrive at Pike Island, he returned to the cabin and put on a new suit of clothes, putting on all kinds of clothes that he thought would make him look very special. Noble accessories were hung on the body, and hair and beard were arranged.
He has always believed that he will be the master of the Iron Islands in the future, and his sister Asha will only temporarily manage the Iron Islands on his behalf. When he returns to the Iron Islands, all the lords on the island will respond and carry him onto the sea rocks. position, and wear yourself a driftwood crown.
Therefore, when he proposed to go to the Iron Islands to find reinforcements, he was rushing to become the Lord of the Iron Islands.
"How long until we can see Pike City?" After changing his clothes, Theon walked to the bow of the ship and asked the captain aside.
"Pike City?" The captain was stunned and said, "I can't see it anymore. Pike City has been burned down long ago. Even the cliffs and islands that served as the foundation have collapsed. Now only a little of the city wall can be seen."
Theon was stunned, and then he remembered that his sister Asha seemed to have burned down Pyke City, along with the lords of the Iron Islands who tried to betray her.
Xion also agreed with Asha's behavior, thinking that if he had been there at the time, he would have done the same thing.
The captain then pointed to the cape ahead and said: "Turn around this cape and you can see the ruins of Pike City. Going a little further, you can see the current Sea Banshee City and Pike Port."
Soon the sailing clipper under his feet passed the promontory, and Xion immediately saw the ruins of Pike City. As the captain said, only a ring of city walls on the outermost cliff remained in the ruins. The main part of Pike City was The fort, blood fort, sea tower and other buildings all disappeared together with the cornerstones of the sea reef, and the few memories of his childhood life in his mind have now become even more blurry.
At this time, the ship sailed past a reef, and the dock town under the original Pike City came into view.
In Theon's memory, the dock town under Pike City was small and dirty, just like the town outside Winterfell. There were some long boats that didn't look very big docked on the dock. These were fishermen's boats. , and the ships of the Iron Fleet are all docked at King's Harbor.
However, the pier under Pike City has now turned into a port as big as a city. The pier made of large rocks extends along the coastline from one end to the other end. There are two or three ships docked on the pier. Huge sailboats with a storey height were all equipped with crossbows capable of drilling through the deck. A large number of sailors wearing standard leather armor were walking around the ship.
The port town behind the pier spreads from the pier to the mountainside. The stone houses are neatly divided into sections by streets that can allow four horses and carriages to drive side by side. The surfaces of all the houses are painted with crushed shells. The dye on the back support can make the entire building look as white as jade, which is extremely beautiful.
The people walking on the streets of the port were no longer the dirty guys he remembered. Although they could still see on their faces and hands that they were people who had been living on the water all year round, their clothes looked more like they came from big cities. This makes Xion's clothes, which he thinks are gorgeous, look very ordinary.
"Look, that's the Sea Banshee Castle!" The captain, while directing the sailors to dock, pointed to the huge white castle on the top of the mountain outside the port town, and said, "This Sea Banshee Castle, as well as the Sea Dog Castle on Kuroshio Island and The Sea Monster Castle on Harlaw Island is also known as the Three Sea Monster Castles on the Iron Islands. In addition to these three castles, there is also the Temple of the Storm God and the Prince's Palace on Great Wyk Island, which are also very magnificent buildings."
"Prince's palace?" Xion looked at the captain in confusion.
"It is the palace of Lord Lynd Terra, the prince of the Stone Step Islands in the Narrow Sea." The captain explained: "The three sea monsters built a palace for him on Great Wyk Island in order to express their gratitude to Prince Lynd, so that Prince Lynd can be convenient at any time. Come live. But after the palace was repaired, Prince Linde never lived there, and it has now become a long-winged dragon's nest."
"What Winged Dragon Nest?" Xion asked with a confused look on his face.
"Prince Linde gave the Three Sea Monsters Alliance a group of long-winged dragons. There are about more than three hundred of them. Now they are all kept in the prince's palace and are under the jurisdiction of the Temple of the Storm God. It is said that those long-winged dragons have given birth to many Long-winged dragon eggs, I believe that in a few years, the number of long-winged dragons in the Iron Islands will increase exponentially, and perhaps the ironmen of the Iron Islands will also have the opportunity to become long-winged dragon knights."
Theon asked: "Are there no ironborn among the Winged Dragon Knights now?"
"Of course not." The captain shook his head and said: "Only those who have been selected by the Temple of the Storm God and sent to the Summer Hall to undergo the trial of the Salvation Temple are qualified to become Winged Dragon Knights. So far, there has not been an Ironborn Able to pass the screening of the Storm God Temple."
Theon raised his head and said decisively: "If I become the Lord of the Iron Islands, I will definitely replace all the Longwing Dragoons with our iron species."
After hearing Xion's words, the captain and sailors on the side all showed disdainful smiles.
Theon boarded the dock and looked around, with confusion on his face, because before coming to Pyke Island, he borrowed the messenger crow from Seaside City to send a letter to Pyke Island. Logically speaking, the nobles should come to greet him at this moment. right.
However, in fact, the people coming and going were porters, sailors, fishermen and soldiers. No one paid attention to him, and no one looked at him. They were all busy with their own things.
In Theon's fantasy, when he returns to Pyke Island, everyone will be watching him. There will be countless nobles of the Iron Islands to welcome their king's return. There is no way that just anyone can ignore him like this.
An inexplicable feeling of suffocation made his face turn red. He looked around and found a person who looked like a dock official in front of him registering something for the captain behind a table. The registered captain pushed aside and came to the table.
"Don't you understand the rules? Just line up at the back and don't make trouble." The official who registered the ship looked at Xion indifferently and warned.
Following his warning, the soldiers behind him stood behind him and stared at Theon.
Theon glared at the official and said in a deep voice: "I am Theon Greyjoy, the true heir to the Seastone throne of the Iron Islands, the lord you should be loyal to, how dare you talk to me like this!"
"Theon Greyjoy?" The official was stunned, looked him up and down, and said displeasedly: "Damn it, you came two days later, and the higher-ups almost asked us to send people to the sea to find you. "As he spoke, he turned to a knight in full armor who was standing up behind him and said, "The person you were waiting for is here, take him to see your head! It's really hard for you to sit here these two days! It makes people feel uncomfortable." Then he ordered the attendants beside him: "Go and notify other registration offices and tell them that Xion is here and don't wait any longer."
At this time, the knight walked up to Xion, looked him up and down, and said, "Come with me!"
After saying that, without much communication with Xion, he turned around and walked towards the town behind the dock.
Theon quickly followed him, wanting to talk to this unusually tall knight and get some information, but he didn't know how to speak, and the pressure the other party put on him was huge, making him want to speak. You will have the illusion of being blown away by the other party.
Soon the knight took Xion to an office building outside the dock area, entered an office, and said to an official who was handling matters inside: "Boss, Xion is already here."
The official looked up at Xion, closed the unfinished documents in his hands, then stood up and said, "Go down and inform them to resume patrol duties." After that, he motioned to Xion: "You follow Let me do it!"
The official led Xion out of the office building, boarded a carriage waiting outside, and drove towards the Sea Banshee Castle on the top of the mountain.
"Your Excellency, are you from the Farwin family?" Xion saw the family crest on the officer's collar, and took the initiative to approach him and said, "I know your Farwin family is..."
"Shut up!" The official stared at Xion coldly and said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. In order to wait for you, I lost an opportunity to go to sea. I can only deal with some trivial things behind the desk. And It's half a year. If your surname is not Greyjoy, I will tie you with a rope to the back of the car and drag you back to the castle."
Seeing the fierce look on the other party's face, Xion suddenly became angry. Just when he was about to say something, the other party had already taken action first, grabbed him by the neck, and pressed him to the wooden board of the carriage. The dagger was already in front of his eyeball.
The official then said: "Lord Asha's order was only to take you back with you. She did not say to take you back completely. I think it's not a big deal if you are missing an eye or an ear."
"Don't, don't!" Sensing that the other party was really planning to dig out his eyes, Xion quickly apologized and said, "I won't say it, that's it! I won't say it!"
Seeing Xion begging for mercy, the official stopped continuing, took back the dagger, let go of his hand, and sat back down, as if nothing had happened just now.
Xion tidied his clothes with lingering fear, sat on the other side away from the officials, and looked at the moving scenery outside the window without saying another word.
The carriage passed through the town and drove along the avenue to the castle on the top of the mountain. After the carriage stopped, the servant waiting in the square opened the door. A middle-aged woman stood at the door and looked at Xion who was getting off the carriage. , said: "Master Xion, I am Linda, the manager of Pike City. Lord Asha has been waiting for you in the study for a long time. Please come with me."
After saying that, he turned and walked directly towards the castle. Xion had thousands of questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but the attitude shown by the Farwin official just now made him dare not say anything more, so he could only say silently. Follow Linda.
Theon has lived in Winterfell for more than ten years. In his impression, Winterfell is much larger than Pike City. He thinks that the best castle in the world is similar to Winterfell.
However, when he entered the Siren's Castle, he felt that Winterfell was as ugly as a country farm. The castle was towering and majestic made of huge stones, and the interior decorations were exquisite and gorgeous. All kinds of decorations are hung all over the castle. Even the windows of the castle are all movable windows inlaid with glass. Sunlight can directly shine into the castle, making the castle still transparent and bright even if there is no light.
"This castle should belong to me, this should be my castle!" Such thoughts kept popping up in Xion's mind, but he didn't know that he had spoken out these thoughts unknowingly. Linda, the manager who was leading the way, turned back and looked at him in surprise.
Soon Linda took Xion outside the study in the castle and signaled Xion to wait for a while. Not long after she entered the study, she heard a voice coming from inside, saying: "Come in! Xion, my brother ”
Xion pushed the door open and walked in. He saw that the walls of this spacious study were covered with bookcases. There were a large number of books in the bookcases. In the middle of the room, near the fireplace, there was a book made from a broken ship's bow. It was turned into a desk. Judging from the black iron maiden statue on the bow, it was obvious that this dilapidated bow came from his uncle Euron Greyjoy's Serenity.
Opposite the desk, a fit woman with short hair quickly signed a document and handed it to the attendant. Then she looked at Theon with a hint of inexplicable emotion and said, "After the dinner at Lannisport, We have never met again, and you are still the same, my brother Theon Greyjoy, still so weak and incompetent!”
