"I don't think it will work in the sky. I think we can dig a tunnel." After Robert Royce finished speaking, he handed the meat skewers to the two.

No one saw it at night, and the three of them didn't have to worry about etiquette, and their mouths were full of oil in a short while.

"Do you think Renly was with Loras?" asked Parmen Crane.

"Lord Renly is fair and merciful, and he is kind. Who he is with is his private life, and it's none of our business." Brienne's dream of Renly's husband has long been shattered, but she still defends Renly very much.

Robert Royce: "Sooner or later you will know these things. Since you are Lord Renly's personal guard, you must keep this secret for Lord Renly."

Parmen Klein nodded: "I understand, but I just can't make up my mind."

"Just get used to it, cheers!" Robert Royce led the atmosphere, he was the first to come, and he was responsible for explaining the confusion to the newcomers.

"cheers!"

The three of them drank all the wine in their wine glasses, and then filled them up again.

"Brennie, you followed Margaery to attend the banquets of noble ladies. What anecdotes have you heard from King's Landing recently?" Parmen Klian asked.

Robert Royce was also interested. The two of them followed Renly and stayed outside wherever they went. They really didn't hear as many gossips as Brienne.

Brienne took a sip of her wine: "Many ladies have been talking about two things recently. One is that Robb Stark said that he has a girl he loves and that his family is going to enter into a marriage contract. Many young girls in King's Landing are locked up The family didn't go out, and everyone was crying very sadly, and the ladies were calling Robb a heartbreaker."

"If I were 10 years younger, hey!" Robert Royce stroked his beard, he was actually only one year older than Werther and Renly, and he looked full of vicissitudes.

Parmen Klein: "That's what women talk about when they get together. What about the second thing?"

Brienne: "Rumors have been circulating in the river these days, saying that there is a treasure map! Many young knights in the king's land and the river have set off to hunt for treasure."

"People still believe in the legend of the treasure map these days? When I was a child, I saw a dog pooped and buried it in the ground, so I drew a treasure map and threw it on the street of Runestone City! Two days later, I was sued by some bastards, but I suffered a lot. Father beat me up." Robert Royce was very disdainful, thinking it was all a trick.

Brienne: "This story has a nose and an eye, do you know, Allie River?"

Robert Royce recalled: "Not sure."

Parmen Crane looked back at the mansion, and said in a low voice, "An illegitimate daughter, King Robert's?"

There were several illegitimate children that Robert publicly acknowledged, and he was the first thing everyone thought of.

Brienne: "Don't lie, Alys Rivers was the mistress of Lord Regent Aemond Targaryen about 170 years ago."

Parmen Crane: "Then why is she involved with the treasure again?"

Brienne: "Everyone knows that Amond Targaryen and his dragon were stabbed to death in God's Eye Lake by his uncle with a dark sister. But he previously occupied Harrenhal of the Strong family, and continued to It is continued to be occupied by his mistress Allie River, who is said to have been a wizard and has since been known as the "Queen of Witchcraft" and who, she says, is pregnant with a child. "

The two held the wine glasses motionless in their hands, looking forward to listening to Brienne's story about the treasure map.

Brienne rolled up her sleeves, and ate another skewer of meat: "Harrenhal was occupied by Aly River for more than ten years, until she left Harrenhal on her own initiative, no one knew her whereabouts. Speaking of which, if there are swords, dark sisters, and dragon battles in the story, then there should be treasures! The money of Harrenhal is the treasure!"

"But this story sounds like there is a loophole!"

"Many details cannot stand up to scrutiny. For example, she occupied Harrenhal for more than ten years, and there were constant armies to conquer it. The money may have been spent long ago."

Both men felt that the treasure map story was unreliable.

Brienne: "Isn't that what the ballad says: young knights will travel and adventure, and prove their worth to the maiden they love. They'll seek magic swords, treasures of gold, and steal crowns from dragons' lairs. So find The treasure is an excuse, and showing love to the girl you love is what these young knights want to do."

"The rival of the Blackwater River, Robb Stark, is about to get engaged. Without Robb's threat, the young knights in King's Landing are all refreshed again! Hey, old!" Robert Royce sighed.

"Eat meat! Eat meat! I just want to see if they finally found a piece of dog shit along the treasure map like Sir Robert said! Haha." Parmen Cleon handed over to the two of them. Meat skewers.

~~~

Early the next morning, the meeting of the Red Castle was held successfully, and Robert showed up on time.

Renly found it strange that even if he had something important to do, Robert would put it off until the afternoon, come and leave in a hurry.Werther felt that Robert must have something to ask of himself.

The members of the imperial council have arrived, and Witte first submitted the kingdom's tax books to the Minister of Finance, the Duke of Metz, and then submitted the policies on religious control and the entry of foreign mages together.

Under Robert's urging, they all passed the vote very quickly, and it was determined that the special policy of the Stone Step Islands will not be implemented by the Seven Kingdoms for the time being, and the Stone Step Islands will become the Seven Kingdoms' fortress against infiltration.

After that, Werther took out a map outside the Great Wall of the North and pointed to the northernmost point: "There are strange ghosts gathered here. Once they go south, it's time to call up the Seventh Army again."

Grand Maester Pycelle was surprised when he heard this: "White ghosts? It's just a legend."

"I've heard the stories of the White Walker since I was a child. My grandson is about to be born and I haven't seen it. Werther, although you are the chief archmage, you can't do such alarmist things!" Mace Tyrell this time Not on Werther's side either.

Renly looked at Werther in confusion. He had read the books written by Werther about various non-human intelligent races, but he only read them as stories before, and never thought that the White Walkers would really go south.

Robert, Stannis, and Varys all looked at Werther, too.

Werther looked at everyone: "You know me, and I am never ambiguous about big things. The children of the forest often wander around the city, and there are all kinds of things that summon magic. Of course, the ghosts are also real." The story of the ghosts, Everyone who has lived in the Seven Kingdoms has heard it.The children of the forest and summoning magic over the years have also made everyone more accepting of these incredible things.

Robert clasped his hands together on the table. "Werther, are the White Walkers coming?"

Werther: "Not yet. I have an agreement with the Green Prophet outside the Great Wall. As long as he sends out a raven to the magic school to open the inheritance, it means that the White Walker is about to go south. But so far there is no news from him. I am afraid that something will happen. I told you in advance that I plan to prepare early.”

Werther also wondered that the Green Prophet in the north has been silent.The direwolves of the Stark family have already appeared, and they are afraid of any changes in the north, so they should tell the news in advance and make preparations.

Varys asked, "The Green Prophet? The one who is said to know history and the future?"

It was also the first time that everyone heard that Werther had contacted the Green Prophet.

Werther explained: "Green Prophet, you can be understood as a powerful magician similar to me. Most of my magic is used for combat, and all of Green Prophet's magic is used for prophecy."

Robert: "Greenseers? Why haven't you mentioned that before?"

Werther: "There are skinchangers and children of the forest in the registration classification of wizards in the Seven Kingdoms. How many years have passed, and the Green Prophet is the most powerful and special skinchanger."

Robert asked expectantly, "Can the Green Seer help me predict the future of the Seven Kingdoms?"

Werther: "The reason why I didn't tell you this is because there will only be one Green Prophet at a time, and it will be passed on to the next one when it is about to die. The ability to peek into the past and the future is so powerful that it also brings them a curse. , Every Green Prophet’s legs are doomed to be disabled, and they will lose their humanity! They are more like a bystander of history, and they will not intervene in events that do not involve the extinction of mankind.”

Varys: "Loss of humanity? As long as you are human, you will have the pursuit of life, and you will have desires."

Werther looked at Varys: "I advise you not to think of him. Once you have thoughts that are not good for him, you will know immediately how much you have pissed in your life."

Varys choked on the words.

Werther continued to say to everyone: "Don't try to rely on prophecy to help yourself! The Green Prophet is not interested in money, power, or desire. I can tell you that his body is now connected to a weirwood. Do you think What can a tree aspire to?"

"People attached to a weirwood?" Everyone was shocked.

"Yeah, what desire can a tree have." Varys also sighed, wondering if he had let go of his calculations about the Green Prophet, anyway, Werther had said what he said.

The Green Prophet did not dare to fight against Werther, because it was based on the right to speak in terms of strength. Both sides were afraid of reaching mutual non-interference, and only cooperated on the biggest things.But ordinary people want to mess with him, Green Prophet has a lot of ways to deal with it, and he can't blame others for his own death.

Werther: "Grand Maester Pycelle."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Grand Maester Pycelle was still digesting the information and didn't come to his senses.

"If you want to understand the history, there is someone who can help you. Recall Maester Aemon from Castle Black on the Great Wall to King's Landing. He is 100 years old, and he is a living history book. Let the Academy send a young bachelor to take over the affairs of Castle Black. .”

After Werther finished speaking, Robert also said: "Grand Maester Pycelle, although I don't interfere with the affairs of the Academy City, I think this is a good proposal!"

Grand Bachelor Pycelle: "Understood. I didn't even know there was such a bachelor in the north. After the meeting, I wrote to the Academy City to make suggestions."

Stannis sternly said, "Werther, are the White Walkers really as powerful as in the stories and legends?"

Everyone looked at Werther expectantly.

"Very powerful! You don't need to eat, you are not afraid of the severe cold, you don't need to breathe, you can walk freely under the water, each of the ghosts is highly skilled in martial arts, and they can also call ice magic and undead. And unlike us human magicians who can only control One summoned creature, one White Walker can at least control thousands of resurrected corpses."

"this.."

"Master Werther, don't scare us! This joke is not funny." Varys smiled reluctantly.

Werther condensed an ice spear and an ice sword and threw them on the conference table.

"This is the weapon they use. If you inject magic when using it, it will be far stronger than ordinary steel weapons."

Renly reacted when he heard it: "Have you killed the White Walkers?"

"When I went to the north, I killed seven of them!"

Everyone was surprised again, but their hearts were at ease. Werther was able to kill seven before, but now he is stronger, and there are giant dragons, and the threat of the White Walkers is much smaller. At worst, he fled to Tyrosh.

Werther: "Ordinary White Walkers, martial arts are not inferior to Sir Barristan."

Barristan's impassive face was the standard of reference.

Werther: "Ordinary swords, even if they cut him off to the head, they are still alive. But the White Walkers are not invincible, Valyrian steel swords, dragonglass weapons, fire, can kill them. Count and kill It's about the same difficulty as a heavily armored knight."

"Not invincible."

"There is more than one weakness, it's easy to handle."

Stannis made a dull face: "I remember now, Werther, you passed by Dragonstone Island before, and Lord Morford Velaryon gave me a map of mine veins. Is it Dragonglass?"

Werther: "Yes, obsidian is another word for dragonglass."

Robert felt relieved: "It turns out that you have prepared so early in advance, but can the White Walkers be completely wiped out?"

Werther thought for a while: "If the White Walkers go south and cross the Great Wall, we can organize an army to destroy them. Their resurrected corpses are about as powerful as this thing."

A purple skeleton was summoned by Werther and stood in front of the imperial conference table.It was no surprise to everyone. During banquets, Renly and Qyburn often summoned elements or skeletons to add to the fun.

Werther: "This kind of thing is a bit troublesome for ordinary soldiers to deal with. The remaining half of the body still has fighting power, but it is not a threat to use fire, dragon crystal, or chop it up. Also beware of the ghosts passing by the cemetery, resurrection The long dead before."

Renly: "For the northerners to dig up their ancestors from their graves and burn them and cremate them is as serious as killing them. It's hard to do."

Werther: "This kind of resurrected corpse is called a ghoul. As long as there is no corpse, there will be no ghosts. And the ghosts, I didn't think of a way to completely destroy them, because once they flee to the extreme north, there will be no food there. Humans cannot survive at all, and even a magician like me can only burn magic power to keep warm."

"The Wall!" Stannis thought suddenly. "If the dragon crystals excavated from Dragonstone Island are made into weapons and sent to the Great Wall, and the defense is increased, there is hope that it can be resisted!"

Werther: "It depends on the number of White Walkers. If all the wildlings in the north die and turn into ghouls, it will be a big trouble. Instead of defending, it is better to find a way to deal with the wildlings first."

Robert: "Kill them all? Wouldn't that be a corpse? Besides, there's nowhere to find their settlement."

Werther: "Don't kill me! There is a shortage of people on the Stone Step Islands!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"We'll talk about the wildlings later, but let's talk about the White Walkers for now."

Another excuse was to return to Tylosi a few days later. There were too many women in the family, and Werther was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.I have already had relationships with three women, and they are all forced to follow the customs and public opinion. If there are more, it is meaningless. One day of happiness will be followed by endless troubles.

Renly: "Werther, can you tell me in detail how you and the White Walker fought back then?"

Werther only told them about the Son of the Forest back then, and they all thought Werther went north to find the Son of the Forest.

"This story has to start with a three-eyed crow." Werther told in detail what happened when he went north, the two women were not suitable for the climate, Maester Aemon on the Great Wall, the encounter with the White Walker, the children of the forest and the green prophet.

"Don't regard the White Walker as a real ghost! You can just regard it as a necromancer with high martial arts skills. In the future, we will also publicize this to the soldiers to eliminate their fear. As far as the strength of the White Walker is concerned, even if With special weapons, even a knight with high martial arts skills can't deal with it, but if directed properly, a hundred knights charge, ignoring the wight's attack and self-sacrifice, should be able to kill a White Walker."

Now that magicians, children of the forest, and giant dragons have all appeared in King's Landing City, it is easy for everyone to accept Werther's description of the White Walkers. They are just a powerful non-human race, not invincible ghosts and gods.

After listening to the audience, everyone felt incredible!If it weren't for Witte's current identity and strength, anyone who said it would be regarded as a bragging story.

Robert was thinking about the issue of southerners not adapting to the climate and weakening their combat effectiveness when they went north.

Pycell paid more attention to Aemon. He wasn't worried that Aemon's arrival would steal his position. A centenarian didn't have the energy to follow the king to deal with government affairs. He planned to seriously suggest to the Academy to transfer Bachelor Aemon back to King's Landing. , doing lectures and documenting his life's knowledge.

Renly: "Listen to what you said, I should have no problem dealing with two or three White Walkers. Give me some special training someday."

Witte: "I've been free recently. The White Walkers are best dealt with by elite knights and magicians. The most troublesome thing now is the large number of ghoul troops."

Robert: "A ghoul's fighting power is equivalent to that of a militiaman, but I heard you say that this thing can't be done without chopping it up and burning it, and you will fight more and more. If a certain battle is lost, all the dead soldiers will become ghouls* **bother."

Stannis: "So to fight against the White Walkers, only the most experienced nobles can command the battle. Those noble children who want to make merit have to go home."

Everyone talked to each other, and finally decided on a feasible plan to weaken the number of ghouls, starting with the savages.

Savages are not a non-human race, but humans and giants living outside the Great Wall in the north. They do not belong to any lords of the Seven Kingdoms, nor do they have a unified language. Their productivity is backward, so people in the Seven Kingdoms call them Savages. Call yourself a freeman!Those who call the people south of the Great Wall are called "people who kneel down".

There is no clear data record on the number of savages. According to legend, there are hundreds of thousands outside the Great Wall.No large cities, divided into hundreds of different cultures, tribes, clans, villages and raiding parties, often clashing over food and iron weapons.

Robert: "You want savages too? These people don't obey discipline. I heard that Ed has seen them. In the history of the northern border, there have been attempts to accept savages, but they all ended in tragedy."

Not only Robert, but other people in the imperial meeting were also very surprised. The Stone Step Islands lacked so many people that even the savages who refused to obey the management could be taken aback.

Werther was forced to consider the population of the savages at first, but later he formulated a bigger plan along the way.

"Look at this first. The savages from the north can't let them go to the islands of the Stone Step Islands. I'm going to put them here."

Werther took out a few pieces of parchment from the small backpack he brought with him, all of which contained the same content of "Agreement on Disputed Lands-Land Boundary Demarcation Agreement".

Robert: "You want to go to war again?"

Witte raised a finger: "You know, people from Tyroshi come from all over the country, and there are a lot of criminals, so establishing a common enemy is conducive to internal unity."

Robert looked at the picture on the agreement: "Do the other two agree?"

"Their diplomatic ambassadors unanimously agreed! Volantis actually has no interest in the disputed land. In the past, he only sent troops because he was worried about the military expansion of the other three cities. Now that he is an ally with us, there is no such problem. Volantis is concerned about Lorne Valley."

Werther pointed to Reese City again: "Reese City got a freshwater river, enough for them to develop for 100 years. And my Tylosi helped them withstand all the pressure, so naturally they should get the best land. "
