Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

After testing that the full body armor of the Homeless Knight without dragon runes could still provide him with assistance, Linde stopped trying. After some intense exercise, he did not feel any fatigue at all, and even his breathing was not disturbed. At one point he thanked Varys.

"It is my honor that you are satisfied, sir." Varys bowed his head.

Lind handed the two removed knight swords to Varys and said, "Lord Varys, please help me sell these two swords. They are no longer useful to me."

As he spoke, he fastened the two broad-bladed half-hand swords that his father forged for him, including the scabbards, into the specially designed buckles on the back.

Wallis took the two knight swords and said: "Let me collect these two swords for the time being! When your reputation becomes more famous in the future, maybe these two swords you have used can be sold better. price.”

Linde did not object, and then asked: "Lord Varys, do you have anything else? If not, could you please prepare some good horses for me? I will return to Tengshi Town immediately and take a boat to Highgarden. ”

Varys looked surprised and asked, "Are you going to High Court? Did you receive an order from High Court?"

Linde looked at Wallis thoughtfully and said, "Your little bird is really pervasive, and he can know this kind of thing."

"It's not my little bird who told me this news, I deduced it." Wallis smiled and said: "Your mission of suppressing bandits has obviously not been completed yet. If it weren't for the order from High Court, you would not have left Teng. of Stone Town.”

Lind smiled and asked: "In that case, Lord Varys, can you guess why the Duke of Metz asked me to drop everything and return to Highgarden?"

Wallis thought about it seriously and said, "I think it has something to do with the Shenfa City Tournament in two months."

"City of Divine Grace? Isn't that Dorne's territory?" Linde said with a puzzled look on his face.

Varys showed a look of admiration and said: "Lord Willas Tyrell has been working to eliminate the hatred between the Reach and Dorne. He has convinced some Dorne and the Reach over the years. It is said that most of the Dornish lords and nobles will participate in the tourney in Divine Grace City two months later, so he wants to lead some of the heirs of the lords and nobles in the Reach to participate in the tourney. During this period, a draft peace agreement was reached with the lords and nobles of Dorne."

When Lind heard this, he felt that Willas Tyrell was a little too idealistic. The hatred between Dorne and the Reach had lasted for thousands of years, and it could not be resolved by just a few negotiations and exchanges.

Linde asked: "The Queen of Thorns agrees with him to do this?"

Although Varys admired Willas Tyrell's behavior, he also knew that Willas's trip was destined to fail. He said: "The Queen of Thorns did not object. She probably wanted to take this opportunity to make Lord Willas sober up. , don’t continue to indulge in fantasy.”

Lind immediately understood the intention of Highgarden's order and said, "That means I was transferred back to Highgarden to serve as Lord Willas Tyrell's bodyguard to protect his safety."

Wallis nodded and said: "I guess so, after all, who is more suitable to be a guard than you, the number one swordsman of the Seven Kingdoms!"

"Damn it!" Lind couldn't help but curse in his heart, because he suddenly thought of something, that is, Willas Tyrell injured his foot while fighting the Red Viper in a tournament. Eventually leading to disability, now thinking about it, it might be this martial arts competition in Shen'en City.

But now he has to serve as Willas Tyrell's bodyguard, and the person he wants to protect has returned to Highgarden disabled. By then, he may have to face a storm of accountability from the Tyrell family. , there is no benefit in doing this job well, and you will be punished if you do it badly.

Linde couldn't help but think: "Why don't you go back and pretend to be sick!"

However, after thinking for a moment, Lind decided to go to Highgarden to take over the task of guarding Willas Tyrell. In addition to wanting to get in touch with the Dornish people, more importantly, he remembered Rhys Falwell. As for the horse found outside the City of Divine Grace, he might be able to take this opportunity to capture the horse and give it to Nymeria.

As for the fact that Vilas is disabled, he will do his duty to remind the other party. In the end, if the other party does not listen to him and seeks death, he does not need to care. Moreover, this is an injury he suffered in the martial arts competition, and he is disabled. No matter how strange it is, you can't blame him.

After thinking about this, Lind immediately asked Varys to prepare the horses for returning to Tengshi Town, and left King's Landing without any further stop.

However, when Lind left King's Landing, he didn't know whether it was because the armor on his body was too eye-catching, or because his behavior of riding five horses by himself was too outstanding. In short, the information related to him was also sent to When it arrived on Prime Minister Jon Arryn's desk, Jon Arryn's focus on intelligence was on the shape of Lind's Homeless Knight armor, which was the dragon crown on the helmet, which made him think of Long family.

So, he secretly investigated who the person wearing the dragon crown helmet was, and was a little surprised to learn that it was Lind Terra, the knight newly conferred by King Robert.

Later, he learned that this armor was made by Wallis for Linde, which made him even more confused. He didn't know that Wallis had such a good relationship with Linde that they were good enough to give him such a valuable set of armor.

However, these investigations were conducted in secret. Jon Arryn kept silent, but he had already paid attention to Lind and Varys, and recorded their names in one of his lists.

The names recorded in this roster are all questionable people, and the list is still growing. Every time he sees this roster, he has the illusion that he is surrounded by enemies.

This also made him feel that he was somewhat powerless on his own and needed reliable helpers to help him.

At this time, he thought of Petyr Baelish, a person mentioned by several of his officials during this period. This person seemed to be a talent that could be used.

But this idea only came to mind for a moment and then was given up, because there were rumors that the relationship between Petyr Baelish and his wife Lysa Tully was unclear, and such a person could not be allowed to come to King's Landing. At least not until he and Lysa have an heir.

Lind, who left King's Landing, didn't know that he was being targeted by Jon Arryn, but even if he knew, he didn't care. As long as he didn't do anything against the Baratheon dynasty, then Jon Arryn wouldn't. What would he do to himself? After all, even the remaining brother and sister of the Long family were assassinated by assassins.

Although Wallis provided four horses, these four horses were all temporarily found by him. Their physical strength, endurance, and speed were all incomparable to the three horses that came when they came. They just passed through the Royal Forest and left from Rose Avenue. , not long after entering Tengshi Avenue, the horses stopped working.

Simply at this time, he happened to encounter the Second Cavalry Team patrolling the road. Linde mobilized two horses and rushed back to Tengshi Town on the night of the fourth day.

Because there was not much time left for Linde, after returning to Tengshi Town, Linde urgently summoned everyone, reorganized all the matters that had been ordered before, and explained to everyone that he was going to Gaozhou this time. The possible reasons were briefly discussed.

However, at this time, everyone's focus was not on what he said, but on the armor he wore back from King's Landing.

Although there are many exquisite armors in the world of ice and fire, compared to the full-body armor of the Homeless Knight, it is obviously inferior.

Nymeria was envious of this set of armor and said that she would also build a similar set of armor. At the same time, she was also curious about two questions. One was how Lind would urinate and defecate after wearing this set of armor, and the other was how to relieve himself after wearing this set of armor. Wouldn't such a suit of armor be very stuffy?

Linde did not refuse to answer Nymeria's question. Although the Homeless Knight's full armor looks like a whole body, it is actually composed of more than thirty different parts. These parts are connected by rings. It ensures that the armor-piercing person can move normally. Linde can even perform various leaping and rolling movements.

As for defecating while wearing armor, it is naturally not difficult, and the armor can also be removed when defecating. As long as you master the method of unfastening the buckles, it is not a big problem for a person to remove and wear it.

As for whether it will be very stuffy, Linde cannot answer the question, because under normal circumstances, the dragon runes on the armor can prevent the wearer from feeling stuffy.

Although the armor currently on Linde does not have dragon runes, the sword of the Homeless Knight around his waist does. When worn on his body, they can also make Linde feel cool and not stuffy.

Because Lind's armor was so eye-catching, Nymeria didn't notice the two Lost Knight swords on Lind's waist at first, until she saw the hilt of the Lost Knight sword made of dragon bone. Only then did he realize that Linde's sword had been changed.

Nymeria has a dragon bone on hand. It is said that this dragon bone is the bone of two dragons that died during the dance of fire dragons. It has been passed down as an heirloom of the Fu Deli family. She has played with this bone since she was a child. Naturally, he is no stranger to the special texture on the surface of the keel.

Just like a child who gets a new toy and wants to show it off to others, Linde did not hesitate to show Nymeria the sword of the lost knight.

He pulled out a Homeless Knight sword and handed it to Nymeria. Although the dragon runes in the Homeless Knight sword had absorbed a lot of magic power these days, because of the guidance of Linde, the Homeless Knight, the dragon The runes are completely sealed. Even if ordinary people touch them, they will not be harmed. They just feel a little cold, like a weapon made of ice.

"Good ice!" When Nymeria held the hilt made of dragon bone, she immediately felt a burst of ice-like coldness coming from her hand, as if she was holding a piece of ice. Because she was unprepared, she immediately He let go of his hand, looked at Lind, and asked, "What's going on?"

"This is a magic sword." Linde explained.

"A magic sword? Is it like the artifact in myths and legends?" Nymeria couldn't hide the shock on her face and looked at the sword in front of her.

"From a certain perspective, it can indeed be regarded as an artifact." Linde said with a slightly proud tone.

With curiosity, Nymeria held the sword again, and then picked it up from Lind's hand. However, she misjudged the weight of the sword, causing her to use too much force and staggered.

After regaining her balance, she looked at the knight's sword in her hand in surprise, then waved it casually, looked at Lind in shock, and said, "Is this a Valyrian steel sword?"

"Yes." Seeing the expression on Nymeria's face, Lind felt inexplicably happy.

Nymeria then looked at the other sword on Lind's waist and asked, "Is that also a Valyrian steel sword?"

"Yes." Linde nodded.

"Have you discovered a treasure from the Valyrian period?" Nymeria couldn't help but ask.

"No," Lind shook his head and said, "These are Valyrian steel that the Targaryen dynasty collected over hundreds of years, but they didn't use it until the moment of their demise. Now they are unexpectedly missing. It’s in my hands.”

Nymeria looked at Lind with envy, and then asked slightly expectantly: "You still have some left..."

"Yes." Before he finished speaking, Lind nodded in response, but when Nymeria showed an excited expression, he added: "But it should have been sent to Pentos on the other side of the Narrow Sea by now."

"Why send it to Pentos?" Nymeria was stunned.

Lind said truthfully: "I want to use those Valyrian steel to reforge an armor, and the only people who master this craft are in Qohor in the Free Cities Alliance."

"Make armor? Use Valyrian steel?" Nymeria's face was filled with disbelief.

"Yes, use Valyrian steel to make a set of armor exactly like this." Lind nodded and pointed to the full body armor of the Homeless Knight he was wearing.

Nymeria suddenly had the urge to beat Lind up, but thinking of Lind's strength, she had to suppress her anger and could only grit her teeth and say: "I don't want to talk to you anymore today. ”

Although Nymeria said so, when Linde left Tengshi Town and went to Highgarden, she still went to the dock to see Linde off the merchant ship, and repeatedly told Linde to come back as soon as possible.

"When I come back, I will bring you a gift." Lind asked Glory to stay in the cargo hold, then turned back to Nymeria and said.

Nymeria also thought that Lind might go to the City of Divine Grace this time, and understood what kind of gift Lind was talking about. She smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

"I'll leave the matter here to you," Linde said to his men again.

Everyone said that they would keep this place safe and wait for Linde to come back.

Only Jon, who returned to Highgarden with Linde, was not very happy. He could vaguely guess why Linde took him with him. He felt that he had followed Linde for so long and worked hard but still did not gain Linde's trust. Somewhat frustrated.

But he could also understand Linde's thoughts and felt that even if he were in Linde's position, he would still take him away.

And he also felt that it was not a bad thing for him to follow Linde back to Highgarden. At least it would allow him to avoid a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if he stayed in Tengshi Town to hold an important position, those in his family would definitely ask him to do something. If he doesn't want to do something, he will get into trouble instead.
