Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 79 Willas Tyrell

Vilas stared at Glory squatting on the ground, looking at it repeatedly for a long time, completely forgetting what the real purpose of coming here was.

Margaery and Loras were also squatting on either side, reaching out to touch Glory from time to time, but they were avoided by Glory every time, and then retracted their hands when Glory bared its teeth and threatened. .

As for Glory, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction as he glared at Linde. He was playing well on the mountain, but he was called back and surrounded to watch, making him think that Linde was deliberately punishing him.

Linder was stroking its head on the side, soothing its emotions and preventing it from inadvertently hurting the three Tyrells.

At this time, Villas couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really shocking. I didn't expect the shadow lynx to grow so big. The largest shadow lynx recorded in the book was the shadow lynx defeated by Green Hand Gars." King, but even the shape of the shadow lynx described in the book is not as good as Glory."

"Perhaps this has something to do with Glory being an albino shadow lynx." Linde then made up a reason.

Vilas shook his head and said very seriously: "Albino shadow lynxes have appeared in the valley and the Crimson Mountains in the past, but they have never grown so big. And Mr. Linde, you have made a mistake. Glory It’s not an albino shadow lynx, the real albino shadow lynx is all white, not black and white stripes like Glory, and the common shadow lynx also has black and white stripes, but it’s not as clear as the distinction between black and white like Glory.”

As he spoke, like a bachelor specializing in biological research, he pointed to Glory's tail and ears and said: "Glory is more like a hybrid of the shadow lynx and another unknown species. Its ears are larger than the normal shadow lynx. The bobcat is much larger and is usually kept close to the scalp. The shadow bobcat's ears can only be fixed on the head and cannot fall back, nor can it lie down. The tail of Glory is also completely different from the shadow bobcat in the south. Much longer, the southern shadow bobcat only sticks to the back of the butt.”

Linde looked at Vilas with some surprise. He had been with Glory for so long and had not discovered so many details. Unexpectedly, Vilas just looked at Glory for a while and found so many doubts. This made him suspicious of Glory. Vilas the man had a whole new perspective.

After listening to Vilas's analysis, he asked with some confusion: "Are the shadow lynx still in the north and south?"

"Of course, it is divided into north and south. All animals of the same type in the world will change themselves according to different environments. The environment in the south and the north are so different, which will naturally affect the animals living in these two places." Vilas is very serious. Explained: "A bachelor once wrote a record of the shadow lynx. He went to the permafrost land north of the Great Wall and saw the shadow lynx there. He mentioned in his notes that the shadows there In order to withstand the cold and facilitate running and turning quickly on the ice, lynx not only have thicker fur and more grippy claws, but also have longer tails, which are almost as long as their bodies.”

Lind listened to Villasde's narration, looked at the tail behind Glory, and said: "It seems that Glory is not a northern species. Its tail is much shorter than the length of its body."

"I also think it is not a northern species." Vilas nodded, then pointed at Glory's eyes and continued: "Have you noticed that Glory's pupils are completely different from those of the shadow lynx."

"Pupils?" Linde raised Glory's head and opened its eyelids to look at its pupils. This action seemed to make Glory uncomfortable. It shook its head vigorously, broke away from Linde's hand, and then rubbed it with its paws. Rubbing his eyes, he growled dissatisfiedly at Linde.

Linde touched Glory's head as an apology, and at the same time said to Vilas: "It's no different, doesn't it have vertical pupils like a cat?"

"Master Linde, you are mistaken. Cats only have vertical pupils when hunting prey, usually almond pupils, and sometimes round pupils." Vilas shook his head, corrected Linde's understanding, and said: "In addition, although people use cats to describe the shadow lynx's agile hunting movements, the shadow lynx is not a cat. Its bloodline is closer to that of a lion. Therefore, the shadow lynx's pupils are dot-shaped and will shrink when hunting. It’s almost invisible, leaving only the whites of its eyes, so many people who are attacked by shadow lynx describe the shadow lynx’s eyes as pale as the skin of a dead person, which is why there are rumors that the shadow lynx is the messenger of the Stranger.”

Then he looked at Glory's eyes and said, "Glory's pupils look more like snake pupils or dragon pupils."

Vilas made a casual guess, and Linde, as an audience member, couldn't help but be stunned, because he felt that Vilas might have got the answer right. The change in Glory's pupils might really be because it swallowed up the energy of the resentful soul. The mutation produced by the dragon soul.

At this time, Willas suddenly wanted to try to reach out and touch Glory. Glory's reaction was more intense than to the other two Tyrells. He jumped up from the ground, turned his head, leaned down, and completely exposed his fangs. , growling menacingly at Vilas.

Fertimo and the accompanying guards immediately stood in front of Vilas and took out all the weapons in their hands to be ready for Glory's attack at any time.

The two little Tyrells were obviously frightened by Glory's fierce reaction. They were stunned for a while and then burst into tears.

On the contrary, Villas seemed very calm. While coaxing his younger siblings, he signaled to Fortimo and the guards that he was fine. At the same time, he apologized to Linde: "I'm sorry, this is my fault. I didn't obey Linde's instructions." Thank you for your warning, but luckily nothing serious happened."

"It doesn't matter. No one close to this little guy will be allowed to touch him except me." Lind stroked Glory's tense neck and said, "Nymeria fed this guy for several months. Once When I tried to touch it, it almost bit off Nymeria's hand. Fortunately, Nymeria was prepared and wore steel arm armor on her hands."

"Nymeria? Is she the Countess of Tengshi Town?" Vilas asked with a curious expression.

Linde smiled and said, "Yes, but she doesn't like to be called countess, nor does she like to be called countess. She often says that an earl is an earl. Is the identity of earl still divided into male and female like animals?"

"Count Nymeria is really special." Willas smiled after hearing this and asked: "It is rumored that only those who defeat the Count in a duel can be qualified to marry her, right?"

Linde said solemnly: "Lord Vilas, you are wrong! You are qualified to pursue her. Only those who can defeat her in a duel are qualified to pursue her."

"Is Lord Nymeria very strong?" Willas asked again.

"Very strong." Lind said truthfully: "No one in the entire Southern Territory should be able to defeat her in a head-on duel. No, just to withstand one of her attacks. Prince Oberon of Dorne should be able to defeat her. In the Western Territory, The Magic Mountain may be able to withstand a few rounds of her attacks, but it will still die under her giant axe.”

"Is it so strong?" Vilas looked surprised after hearing this.

"Hmph!" Fertimo was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Lind's judgment and said, "Why do you think Dorne's Red Viper can defeat her?"

"Because they have competed." Linde felt that there was no need to hide the relationship between Nymeria and Dorne. After all, everyone who knew about this relationship knew that it would be beneficial to Nymeria if it was revealed openly. So he said truthfully: "When I led the troops to Tengshi Town, I happened to meet Prince Oberon. He was very concerned about Nymeria's safety and wanted to take Nymeria to Dorne, but Nymeria Ya refused. He always believed that he was from the southern border and the lord of Tengshi Town. He had the responsibility to protect the land. Even if he died, he would die in Tengshi Town. "

After hearing Linde's narration, everyone present had a clear impression of the Earl of Tengshi Town in their minds, and they were also in awe of his words and deeds.

Willas thought for a moment and then consulted Linde: "Lord Linde, you should also have heard from Lord Fortimo that I will go to Dorne Divine Grace City to participate in the martial arts tournament there in a few days. This is my first time to participate in the martial arts tournament, so my father is worried, so he summoned you here from the bandit suppression work, mainly to protect my safety on the road. In addition to participating in the martial arts tournament, I also want to do something. To improve the relationship between the two places, Lord Nymeria and Dorne..."

"I don't suggest you do this, Lord Willas." Before Willas finished speaking, Lind understood his thoughts and dissuaded him very directly: "Nymeria doesn't have much affection for Dorne. If you Trying to take her to Dorne and use her blood to help you improve relations between the two places will only end up being self-defeating. "

"I understand." Vilas quickly understood what Linde meant, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Master Moras always said that I was too young and didn't understand the ways of the world. I didn't think so before, but now it seems that he That’s right.”

Fertimo comforted him and said, "Lord Vilas, you have behaved very well."

Willas smiled, obviously not taking Fotimo's words to heart, and then asked curiously: "You have met Prince Oberon, what do you think of him?"

"He is a very charming person." Lind said truthfully: "If I had not joined the Tyrell family and he invited me at that time, I think I would have followed him to Dorne without hesitation."

When Willas heard Lind's words, not only did he not show any displeasure, but he said happily: "Fortunately, Garland met you Lord Lind first, otherwise our Tyrell family would have lost a legendary figure. ”

The guards present had no objection to Vilas's statement. In their opinion, having such a giant beast as a pet was indeed worthy of being a legendary figure. However, if Vilas was talking about another Linde, If the title of the best swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms is spread, then they may be a little dissatisfied.

At this time, Fertimo suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Since you met the Red Viper, you should have also competed, right? What was the result?"

Linde did not answer this question, but just looked at Fortimo with a smile.

Fertimo didn't ask further, and he seemed to see the answer from Linde's expression.

Vilas looked at the dumb way of communication between the two with interest.

"Big Cat, Big Cat is leaving!" Margery shouted, pointing at Glory who was about to leave quietly.

Linde looked at Glory and waved to it, indicating that it could leave. Glory felt relieved and quickly jumped to the roof. After a few leaps, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

Linde led Vilas and others into the house, and the guards waited outside the house under Vilas's order.

After entering the house, Vilas immediately saw the Lost Knight suit placed on the armor stand. He liked spear duels very much, and naturally also liked knight armor. Linde's knight armor was obviously similar to the current Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The knight's armor was completely different, and the difference lay not only in the style, but also in the structure of the armor.

In the eyes of people who don't understand, there is no difference between the full-body armor of the Homeless Knight and the full-body armor of ordinary knights. However, only people like Vilas who understand the structure of the knight's armor know that there is a huge difference between the two. The simplest difference is that this The joint locks of knight's armor are much more flexible than those of current knight's armor. The more flexible joints mean that knights equipped with this kind of knight's armor can make more movements.

"Sir Linde, can you pick it up and take a look?" Vilas asked Linde very politely.

"Of course." Lind nodded. He was not worried about the full body armor of the Homeless Knight being imitated. In fact, when he took out the drawings, he had considered the issue of being imitated.

However, he knew very well that even if it was imitated, few people would be able to put on such a full-body armor. Even if it could be put on, it would be very difficult to fight normally.

Just as Lind had guessed, when Vilas picked up the simplest arm armor, he had already rejected the possibility of imitation in his mind. The main reason why he changed his mind so quickly was because the armor was too heavy.

The joint lock is flexible and can make more movements, which inevitably means that the joint lock needs to withstand more friction, impact and twisting, so the strength of the joint lock must be increased.

Unless Valyrian steel is used, the only way to enhance the strength of joint locks is to increase the thickness of the locks. This makes one lock on the Homeless Knight's full armor equivalent to two locks on normal armor. Big or small.

And more importantly, as the number of locks increases, the steel armor pieces connected to the locks will naturally also thicken. If one armor piece thickens, the other armor pieces must also thicken accordingly, otherwise there will be brittle spots. Crack easily.

In this way, the thickness of the entire Homeless Knight's full-body armor is twice that of other full-body armor, and the weight is more than twice as high.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to move around wearing such heavy armor, let alone fight.

"Lord Linde, can you still fight wearing this armor?" Vilas put the armor in his hand back on the shelf and asked extremely curiously.

Linde didn't speak, just smiled.

Vilas immediately sensed the bewildered exchange between Fortimo and Linde just now, and instantly understood what Linde meant.

Then, he said: "I really want to see you, Lord Linde, fighting in this armor."

Linde said in a deep voice: "Master Vilas, you have to pray that we can encounter enough enemies on the way to Divine Grace City."
