Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

Arya puffed out her chest and held a basket of vegetables in her hand: "Let's have potatoes with gravy for lunch. I just bought a lot of potatoes, and some of them have sprouted!"

"Arya," Sansa turned to look at her sister, "You're not kidding, are you?"

Arya was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"Don't eat potatoes that have sprouted!"

Sansa's face turned pale and the corner of her mouth twitched: "It is poisonous and can make people dizzy, vomiting, and have abdominal pain..."

"really?

No wonder the vegetable vendor looked at me pitifully for a long time. I felt sorry for him because he couldn't sell the vegetables and I didn't negotiate with him on the price. "

Arya cried sadly, then cheered up and said, "But don't worry, I also bought some tomatoes. Many people on the street are eating them. I heard they taste delicious."

"tomato?

That's an ingredient only for commoners, but it's poison to nobles!

Don’t you know that many nobles in the south died because of eating tomatoes? "

Sansa is really a little angry, Arya is going to kill everyone!

Arya looked confused.

Are these fruits and vegetables for common people and nobles?

Chapter 187 Responsibilities

In the upper class of Westeros.

Tomatoes were considered highly poisonous and indeed poisoned many princes and nobles.

After discovering tomatoes as a brightly colored food, people thought they were not only beautiful to look at, but also sweet and sour and very delicious.

Seeing that the common people had no problem eating it, tomatoes as food immediately became popular among the noble circles of the entire Westeros continent.

The royal family who had eaten all kinds of delicacies from all over the world couldn't put it down.

But not long after, people discovered that some nobles who had eaten tomatoes died!

The news that tomatoes were poisonous spread throughout the continent like a plague, and the nobles became even more distraught.

So how did the little tomatoes poison the nobles?

Domeric, who comes from another world, naturally knows the answer.

The real reason is that most of the dinner plates of nobles in Westeros are made of metal.

Due to the immature metal smelting process, it contains a lot of heavy metal lead.

Because lead is more active than hydrogen ions, tomatoes rich in VC converted the lead elemental substance on the plate into heavy metal lead ions, which then entered the human body. Many nobles died of heavy metal poisoning.

On the contrary, those civilians who ate it raw did not appear to be poisoned.

"Is that so? How about we eat mushrooms?

I remember that there were a lot of small green mushrooms growing in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Tower. Let's go back and pull them all out! "

Arya said bitterly.

Sansa was helpless, stroking her forehead and saying, "Arya, those mushrooms are poisonous!

If you eat it, you will feel dizzy, vomit, have convulsions, etc.

In more severe cases, hallucinations may occur, and you may even see villains. "

"Arya, if you eat randomly, you will poison yourself sooner or later."

Sansa added.

Arya spread her hands and said with an innocent face: "It turns out that it is so difficult to eat!

Fortunately, I can only practice swordsmanship and horseback riding, but not even cooking.

Lord Domeric, let's go back to the Red Castle quickly. I'm a little hungry and can't help but want to eat. "

After being scolded by Sansa for a long time, Arya made an excuse and walked away.

Watching the girl's back fade away, her ponytail rises and falls.

What a silly girl!

Domeric couldn't help but sigh, how did Arya survive in the plot and become a top assassin...

……

"Lord Domeric, let's continue."

The girl's soft murmur came.

Seeing her sister leaving, Sansa turned around and changed from sitting in his arms to straddling his waist.

The girl blushed, leaned close to Domeric's ear, and began to slowly kiss his cheek.

......

Happy times are always short.

Half an hour later, Domeric rode through the towering bronze gates of the Red Keep and returned to the Prime Minister's Tower.

Sansa also straightened her clothes, put away her smile, and became a dignified and elegant noble lady again.

It's hard to imagine the girl looking so unbridled half an hour ago.

"Sansa, why are you so slow? I'm so full!"

Seeing her sister finally coming back, Arya complained at the dining table while holding a roast duck and chewing it.

"Arya is a fool!" Sansa laughed.

Under Arya's strong recommendation, Domeric, who worked hard, also brought a crispy roast duck, then took a hot bath and fell asleep on the feather bed.

After many days of marching and working hard day and night, Domeric accumulated a lot of fatigue.

Sleep until the next day.

In the morning, when Domeric opened his eyes, he saw a head dangling in front of him, hesitating.

It's Sansa.

Domeric frowned, looked at the delicate-faced girl and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Lord Domeric...didn't you ask me to wake you up at this time yesterday?"

Sansa looked at him with a confused expression, and then explained: "Don't forget, there is a royal council meeting today."

Domeric: "..."

"You did very well!"

Domeric touched the girl's head as a compliment.

Then, with Sansa's diligent service, Domeric got up, washed himself, and went straight to the meeting hall of the Red Keep.

Wearing a dark gray velvet coat and the prime minister's badge symbolizing the hand of the king, he strode into the chamber.

Domeric found many important ministers waiting for him.

It seems late!

But there was no apology on his face.

Those in power have the magnanimity of those in power. If you are just a little late, what does it matter?

Everyone stood up to pay their respects.

Attending the royal meeting were the finance minister, Earl Fat Wyman, and the justice minister, Earl Gales.

His aunt, Countess Dustin, and his uncle Sir Roger Ryswell, who came from the northern reinforcements, and Igor, the captain of the guard.

Tormund, captain of the Kingsguard who guards Joffrey and is responsible for guarding the Red Keep.

There are also the intelligence chief Varys, Earl Wendel, and Jon who followed Domeric on his trip to the valley. Due to a series of outstanding performances during the trip to the valley, Jon was also granted the qualification to attend the royal meeting by Domeric.

Domeric nodded slightly and finally sat in the king's seat at the head of the long table.

Others took their seats.

"Lord Domeric, I heard that you subdued the rebellious mountain tribes in the Mingyue Mountains and persuaded the valley nobles to send troops.

This series of amazing actions is really admirable! "

Fat Earl Weiman was the first to speak, blowing a rainbow fart.

"It's just the blessing of the gods."

Domeric replied calmly and politely, "Lord Wyman, how did your previous peace talks with Stannis go?"

Domeric had previously left this matter to Count Fat Wyman with full responsibility.

If the fat old man can really fool Stannis and break the sea blockade of Blackwater Bay, it will naturally be a good thing for King's Landing.

If the negotiation fails, there will be no loss to Domeric.

"Lord Domeric, I am preparing to tell you the good news."

With a smile on his face, Fat Lord Wyman couldn't help but ask Domeric for credit, "Dragon Stannis, Lord of Dragonstone, has promised to negotiate peace with us. To show his sincerity, he has released the blockade of Blackwater Bay. …”

"what!"

This was beyond Domeric's expectation. With Stannis's stubborn and rigid character, how could he agree to peace talks so easily?

After the blockade of Blackwater Bay is lifted, all kinds of armor weapons and equipment can be shipped from Gushanling.

The grain supplies in the valley do not need to be landed from Crab Bay. Instead, they can go directly from Blackwater Bay to King's Landing, which greatly reduces transportation costs.

"Did he put forward any conditions?"

Domeric was afraid that Stannis would ask him to change houses, something he would never agree to.

"The envoy sent by Lord Stannis is on his way to King's Landing. He will probably arrive this afternoon."

"Lord Weiman, you have done a very good job in this matter."

"My lord, you are the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms."
