Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

"In the past, it was difficult for you Bear Island to do any business under the threat of pirates from the Iron Islands. Now that the threat from the Iron Islands is gone, the Ironmen will recruit soldiers in the Royal Fleet in the future. Now, only your Bear Island has a fleet in the northern part of the west coast. , recently I have some transportation business to talk to you about.”

"Bear Island warriors will use their lives to protect the safety of the goods!" As the lord of Bear Island, it is the lord's duty to seek wealth for the family and the people, but he is not good at it at all. Now the business has come to him by himself. No matter the risk, we promise.

"Food, vegetables and the like shipped to the northern border, as well as minerals and leather shipped from the northern border, are not very expensive goods, but the volume is large." Werther began to discuss the details with Jorah.

Werther approached Jorah because he considered that the Lannister family could not do all the business in the northern part of the west coast. Although the Bear Island fleet is small, it will gradually increase when it has money.The second is to help Linnis so that Jorah will not be able to support her in the future and go to work as a smuggled slave and be wanted.The third is to let the future dragon mother have one less help, and kill three birds with one stone.

Linice looked at Werther and Jorah, thinking that Werther was looking for Jorah because of her own family. She was very proud and happy, watching the two talking quietly.

Jorah thought it was because of Linice that Werther did business with him, and he was very glad that Linice was chosen as the "Queen of Love and Beauty" today.

Although Earl Jorah Mormont of Bear Island is older and less handsome, he has no heirs, and his wife died of dystocia, so he can be regarded as a gold-level bachelor.

He made great achievements on the battlefield and became a knight, and today he won the championship of the martial arts tournament and received a large sum of money. Leighton agreed afterward, and decided to hold the wedding in Lannister before most of the nobles left.

Werther finds Linice at the wedding.

"Bear Island in the north has a cold climate, and the conditions are much worse than Old Town. Bring more warm clothes. If you need anything, you can write to your brother or give me a letter." It's like giving her a vaccination in advance, so don't miss it. Look for family for face, now you can look for younger brother and Werther.

"I will." Linice was a little sad that she was leaving home to start a new family.

Werther and Renly gave her a lot of wedding gifts, and later called her sister Moroya to King's Landing to learn magic. Although she is almost 50 years old, she does have weak magic power, and she can learn a lot without asking for spells. Advanced, at least able to be a librarian.

Not to mention the status of the Linnesse family in Old Town and Academy City, her elder sister Ellie is also the wife of the Duke of Highgarden Mace, the future heir of Highgarden Vilas, and Garland, Loras and Little Rose His own mother, even with this level of relationship, he had to win over many raw materials for Werther and Renly's business from the Reach.

The three nobles of the Reach, the Tyrells and the Hightowers have already established a relationship of interest, and only the Redwings need a strategy, so let Renly do it.

~~~

After returning to King's Landing, Robert quickly convened the Imperial Council and proposed to increase the number of the Kingdom's Chief Archmage. The matter could not be settled in a day. The change brought about by the addition of a seat in the Imperial Council was not small, and it would take a few days to discuss carefully.

Werther found Grand Maester Pycelle and got in touch with the senior management of the Academy City through him.

In the past year, Werther’s academic achievements, the school city had already negotiated that Werther would be awarded the title of bachelor directly after he took the oath, but he was recruited by the king and ran away, but the two sides did not cut off contact, and there was even business in the clock tower and craftsman examination Do.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, Werther became a real magician again. The Academy had always resisted magic before. Werther, as a traveler, of course understood the Academy. A world without magic is just a scientific route. The upper limit is even higher than magic. The atmosphere is fine, but magic has really recovered in this world, and who doesn't want to learn magic.

As Werther is a person who is proficient in both academics and magic, and the relationship between the two parties is not bad, the Academy City naturally wants to win over. The magic science graduated from Lelia Steel Ring officially became a subject.

Of course, Werther didn’t give too much magic information to the academy. At most, basic theories plus novice-level magic would count as graduation, and advanced magic could be learned at the magic school of Baratheon’s house in King’s Landing.

There are seven people in the royal council, the Hand of the King is Jon Arryn, the Sea Lord Stannis, and the Kingsguard Captain Barristan will definitely support Robert. Now that Werther has settled the college student Pycelle, four people have already agreed. Other resolutions can be ignored.

Chapter 35 The Chief Archmage

Werther and Renly also participated in the second imperial meeting, because after the decision was made this time, an additional official chair had to be placed in front of the imperial meeting table.

The imperial meeting was held in the Maegor Building of the Red Castle, a small room very close to the king’s bedroom. It was a long conference table. The king’s special chair was facing the conference table. There were seven luxurious chairs on both sides of the conference table. Spare chairs can be moved over for temporary participants, and Werther and Renly can only sit on temporary chairs now.

After everyone was seated, Robert proposed to increase the number of seats for everyone to discuss.

Prime Minister Jon Arryn spoke first:

"There are seven seats in the Imperial Council because the Seven Gods believe in worshiping the number seven. Is increasing the number of seats disrespectful to the Seven Gods, and will it cause dissatisfaction among the believers?"

"Then only seven people will be sent to fight in the future?"

Robert directly made the prime minister speechless, but in fact, this was what the two had discussed before.

"I agree to increase the number of seats, but the chief archmage's responsibilities are mostly management. Shouldn't it be held by a respected nobleman?" Intelligence Chief Varys took up the topic, which he had discussed with the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Justice.

It is possible to increase the number of seats, but this seat should represent the interests of nobles rather than magicians. Although Werther has two identities, but in terms of duties, it is completely representative of magicians. This new force with a total of few people cannot be replaced by a new force. To divide power.

Varys himself hates nobles and magic, but he mainly does things in exchange for interests. He had no actual conflict of interest with Werther before, but this time he chose to side with the nobles.

Werther looked at Varys with purple magic smoke in his eyes.

Everyone present saw Werther cast magic on Varys, and they dared not move the king seat without moving on the chair.Seeing that although Werther didn't attack directly, Varys opened his mouth wide open, his whole body was tense, trembling and sweating profusely, and Varys returned to normal when there was no more purple smoke coming out of Werther's eyes.

"This is the fear technique of the illusion department. It can evoke the most terrifying things in people's minds. I have reduced the magic power to the lowest strength. If I increase the magic power, Lord Varys may jump out of the window in fright." Werther gave Everyone explained.

This magic has been improved by Werther and can be emitted directly from the eyes without hands. People with a firm mind will be frightened until their legs become weak and sweat, and those with a weak mind can just pee and run away.

Varys took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and looked at everyone with a forced composure.Just now, he was forced to recall that he was abused and castrated when he was a child. It was discovered that he helped the three children of the Targaryen family in the Eastern Continent in private. In the end, he was about to be beheaded on the execution ground.

[Conspiracies and tricks are not sure of victory in the face of the absolute power of Werther, and you must not reveal a trace of information, even if you stay in the army, you will not be able to save your life. 】Varys will do things more secretly in the future.

"This is a magician! All nobles are just skins in front of magic. Only the most powerful magician can lead a magician."

The Baratheon brothers were all sitting on the ground, and Werther looked at the shocked others.

"Don't look at me like that, I know what you are thinking, mentally controlling a certain nobleman? The time of a magician is precious, I believe every magician is too lazy to waste that time, we prefer to burn the enemy directly to ashes .”

What was released on Varys was just to let him experience it. Now I don't want to offend him completely, and keep him useful to Robert.

Prime Minister Jon Arryn tapped the glass with his spoon to get everyone back.Ever since Robert became king, everyone in the imperial meeting has wine glasses in front of them. Robert likes to drink while talking about things. In the end, Jon Arryn advised the imperial meeting to drink only low-alcohol alcohol, otherwise everyone will have a meeting You have to get drunk by Robert once.

"There is another problem. If the imperial council is increased from seven seats to eight seats, then the vote may become four to four, and no resolution can be made."

"Doesn't the king count? One of my votes adds up to exactly nine votes. If I am not present, the prime minister will act on his behalf. The prime minister has two votes per person." Robert gave the answer directly, which added the power of the king. Robert slapped the table Then say:

"Okay, let's formally vote now, whether to increase the seat of the Chief Archmage of the Kingdom of the Imperial Council, and the first Chief Archmage to be Werther Baratheon, who is in favor and who is against?"

In the end nine votes were in favor.

A few days later in the Great Hall of the Red Castle, Robert was seated on the Iron Throne. Under the throne, seven white-robed Kingsguards stood and lined up one by one. Queen Cersei and the young Prince Joffrey sat at the bottom, and the original seven There were hundreds of people in the whole hall, including the officials of the imperial council, the civil and military officials of the kingdom, and the nobles who were invited to witness. This was one of the few major court meetings held by Robert since he became king.

After everyone arrived, Prime Minister Jon Arryn took out a document and began to read:

"From now on, after discussion and decision between the king and the imperial council, the number of seats in the imperial council will be increased from seven to eight, and the seat of the kingdom's chief archmage will be increased."

"Coax~~" The matter of Werther and Renly's magic has already been in King's Landing, and now everyone heard that they had directly obtained a seat in the Imperial Council, they were shocked and started to discuss with the people around them.

"Hush!" Barristan, Captain of the Kingsguard, came out to maintain order.

Prime Minister Jon Arryn went on to read:

"It has also been decided that the first chief mage of the kingdom will be Werther Baratheon. The relevant documents have been signed by the king and the members of the imperial council, and the copies will be sent to the whole country immediately." After speaking, he took the original scroll of the document in his hand and unfolded it for everyone to show .

In fact, people standing so far away can't see clearly, it's just a ritual process to show justice and legitimacy.

"Werther Baratheon!" Jon Arryn called out.

Werther is wearing a fiery robe, with long black hair tied behind his head, and five magic balls of flame, pure white, yellow, blue, and purple are arranged in a circular rotation on the back, representing: destruction, change, recovery, summoning, and illusion respectively. It is magic, with orange, white, yellow, blue and purple colors mixed and shining.

He swaggered to the Iron Throne in the center of the hall, put his right hand on his chest and knelt down to Robert on one knee.

Robert stepped down from the Iron Throne and stood in front of Werther. As a result, the Prime Minister handed him the letter of appointment, and Werther took it with both hands. Robert then drew the sword from his waist and put the blade on Werther's left shoulder.

"I, Robert Baratheon, in the name of King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and Guardian of the Realm, make Werther Baratheon Chief of the Kingdom Archmage."

"Werther of the Baratheon family swears his endless knowledge and magic power to be loyal to the king forever, use magic to serve the kingdom, and use magic to destroy the kingdom's enemies. If he breaks his promise, he will be cursed by knowledge and magic power."

Robert slapped Werther's shoulders with the blade of the sword again. Laverty stood up, threw the sword to the Prime Minister and gave Wirter a bear hug. Stay away for fear of hurting Robert.

The Chief Archmage also didn't have specific costumes or tokens. Werther told Robert that, apart from himself and Renly, whoever could light up the five-color magic ball behind his back would have to keep them even if King's Landing was sold.

Werther just wants to end it as soon as possible. There are only three magic balls to maintain the balance of consumption and recovery, and five will consume magic power.

The court meeting discussed some small matters, and then, of course, Robert's reserved item, the banquet.

There is no saying in Westeros that children cannot drink. Noble families have been drinking rum since they were young, and Robert was the first to fill Werther and Renly with wine. The other nobles are not polite. This is a good relationship. Chances are, today is also the first time Werther got drunk since he came to this world.

Chapter 36 Many Magicians

In the past few years, the processing and manufacturing industry in Stormland has developed rapidly, and three fixed trade routes have gradually developed.

The first route is from Old Town of the Reach to Highgarden, and then along the river to Wine Hall, Longtable Castle, and Green Valley City, linking Felwood Castle in Stormland, Harvest Hall and Hay Hall in Coppergate City, and finally to Windsor Hall. interest castle.

The second is Dorne's sea transportation, from Yronwood City, Greycloth Castle, Thor City, Sunspear City, to Greenstone Castle, Rain House City to Storm's End Castle.

The third is the original Rose Avenue, but the land transportation volume is not as good as water transportation, so it is mainly personnel, gold and silver, or heavy items. It is safer to bring plate armor knights than water transportation.

Because there are a large amount of agricultural raw materials, minerals, and finished goods transported in the three places, the surrounding towns have become relatively wealthy places. Cavaliers.

Because of the rise of industry, commerce and agriculture in the southern part of the mainland, the central and northern parts of the mainland were also affected, and they were much more developed than the original world. At least the grain production increased every year, and the common people could eat enough and still have surplus.

The background and education of these new wealthy classes are naturally inferior to the old aristocrats, which has caused some problems.

~~~

Near the New Barrel City in the Reach, on a beach of the Mander River, a group of heavily armed knights formed a circle with their respective banners, and there were soldiers cleaning up the dead enemies on the nearby road.

Among the banners were the gold roses on a green background of House Tyrell of Highgarden, the red apples of House Fossoway on a gold background at the Cider Hall, and the green apples of House Fossoway on a gold background at New Barrel.

On the river beach, Soros, a strong man, and a little girl about 10 years old pressed a gorgeously dressed person on the stone on the left and right.The little girl has gray eyes and black hair, and carries two long swords on her back.

"In the name of Robert I of House Baratheon, King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and First Men, and Guardian of the Realm of the Seven Kingdoms, I, Werther of House Baratheon, Chief of the Realm Master, Lord Antlers, I sentence you to death for fraud."

After Werther finished speaking, he raised his ice crystal long sword and chopped off the head.

"Your Excellency, Chief Archmage, what number is this?" A middle-aged woman who looked like came over.

"Ellery, this is the third execution of Werther this year, and I also helped kill a few followers." The little girl behind Werther replied.

Werther held the ice crystal long sword and danced a sword flower. The sword was stuck in the mud of the river beach, and white ice crystals quickly began to form around the mud.

At this moment Garlan Tyrell and the guards of Highgarden brought another man over. The guards kicked the headless body away and pressed the man to the stone. The man shouted:

"Lord Garland, Lord Chief Mage, I have been wronged! All my money was cheated by this bastard, and even my wife was slept by him! I am wronged, my lord!"

"But you later helped him cheat money and help him escape!" Garlan Tyrell didn't tell him too much, and sentenced the property knight to death in the name of his father, Lord Mace of High Court. A sword goes down and the head falls to the ground.

"Damn it, there are more and more liars here," Werther scolded.

Since Werther’s magical deeds in the Iron Islands spread three years ago and he was named the chief archmage of the kingdom, he spent the first year compiling magic textbooks and building schools, and brought Ellie Hightower and Soros with him Instructing magic, the two of them are generally too talented and too old. Although they can't achieve high achievements in magic, there is no problem in holding some ordinary positions in magic schools. Ellie is now a librarian.

After the school was built in the second year, Werther wrote a letter to Dane's family in Dorne, summoning Ashara Dane to King's Landing, and formally accepted him as a magic apprentice. This was Werther's first real disciple except Renly, Take it with you to teach at any time.

Dr. Marwin of the Academy City has a good relationship with Werther because of his research on magic. He introduced Qyburn, who was exiled by the Academy City and wandered around, to Werther. Werther knew that the man who transformed the Magic Mountain into an undead man was worried about finding him. When they didn't get to him, they really had the talent of the summoning system after meeting him. Werther began to teach him the orthodox summoning spells, and Cobain also managed the logistics work at the school.

In the past few years, Werther has not been very active on the mainland. Renly is also an image of a rich man who has no chance to show his magic. Some people have started pretending to be magicians to swindle everywhere, exorcise demons and insects, cure all diseases, and coordinate the relationship between husband and wife. .

The person who was sentenced to death by Werther just now is a liar. This guy was active near the High Court, deceiving several nobles, 5 property knights, and more than 20 senior craftsmen. He also slept with the wives of 9 of them. Werther came here specially. After exposing the deception, he joined forces with the lords of the defrauded territory to chase him here before catching him.

Werther is now 15 years old and as tall as an adult. Due to business reasons, he has a very good relationship with the Tyrell family. Garlan Tyrell has also lost weight and is no longer a fat man.

The two talked about this incident while walking, Witte was very angry, and Garland was joking.

"I didn't find many potential apprentices, but the scammers appeared one after another, fuck XX"

A guard ran over to salute and asked:

"Your Excellency, the chief archmage, can we try that ice sword?" said I looked at the ice sword that Werther had stuck on the river beach, and a group of guards were surrounded by it, eager to try it.

"Don't use your hands directly when you put on the gauntlet, there is still about an hour before it melts."

"Thank you, my lord." With Werther's permission, a group of guards began to draw out their ice swords to play with, but within a few seconds, ice began to form on their gauntlets, and they had to be replaced. They all lamented the wonder of magic.

Garlan Tyrell remembered something:

"A few days ago, I heard that a magician came from Dorne. He should be in Highgarden now, but nothing happened. Do you want to investigate?"

"I also got the news. You count the materials of the scammers and distribute them to several victims. You can save as much as you can. When these scammers see one and kill each other, I will set off immediately," Witt was very angry.

The reason for the anger is not the liar, but someone behind the scenes.

~~~

Highgarden City is divided into many layers by the city wall. The outer layer is very large and has a large number of residential shops. Werther did not live in the inner city of Tyrell's family, but found a hotel to stay in for investigation.

[There are many Dorn merchants in the city, this magician is very mysterious, there is no sign of contact with the outside world, and there is no clue at all. 】

At night Werther lay on the hotel bed, thinking about things in a daze before going to bed.Suddenly, I felt weak, and my energy was constantly draining.

Suddenly woke up, [This is poisoning!For money or for life? 】

Immediately use the healing technique on himself, the yellow magic scattered on the body, but it has no effect at all. After careful perception, he found that the vitality has not been lost at all, but is slowly exceeding the upper limit!Stamina is also constantly decreasing.

Now Werther was lying on the bed and couldn't move, his eyesight had begun to blur and he couldn't see clearly, and the magic power in his body couldn't be mobilized. Just as he was about to call for someone, the door of the hotel room was opened, and two people came in.

"Has the medicine worked?"

"It should be fine. He is a magician. I doubled the amount according to the medicinal properties of an elephant."

[The voices are two women?Women should not be as cruel and ruthless as men, so they have something to talk about. 】

Witte hastened to say:

"I understand the rules. Put all the money in the closet next to you. Take it and leave. I'll pretend I don't know you."

[Afterwards, your ashes will be raised! 】

Unmoved, the two came over and tied Werther to the bed with an iron chain, and the other took out a black hood to put on Werther.
