As soon as people drink, they start to talk a lot. They are born with nonsense, and they will naturally talk about women. After listening to Robert howl a song "The Bear and the Pretty Girl", he took a big gulp of wine and asked Rhaegar Prince said:
"My fiancée Lyanna Stark, we have known each other since childhood, she is very beautiful, just and brave"
"I haven't seen Anna Stark, is Eddard's sister?" Prince Rhaegar asked
After speaking, everyone looked at Eddard Stark's unhandsome long face. Except for Albert, everyone who had never seen Lyanna had a smile of disbelief on their faces.
Prince Rhaegar said: "Everyone thinks that the person they like is the most beautiful, and they don't accept other people's refutation, but I think the most beautiful person is my child who is about to be born."
When Robert heard the boring topic of children being brought up, he immediately shook his drink, "The opponents who are worth challenging now, in addition to everyone here, are Brandon Stark and Jorah Mormont in the north. Me and Those two played really well."
Prince Rhaegar went on to say, "Jaime Lannister of the Western Region is also considered one. He is only 14 years old and already has superb riding skills and martial arts."
Oberon the Red Viper thought for a while and had no objection, then said, "There is also Gregor Clegane, the knight of their Lannister family, who is stronger than ordinary people and is also a good opponent."
Afterwards, several people mentioned who had a brilliant record, and Arthur and the others also joined the discussion.Everyone said the truth and debated endlessly, who shot someone off the horse, who was chased by someone in the martial arts field, and the wine was drunk more and more. As for the old masters, all the people here are young people, Who cares about those old men.
Stannis and the slightly older Barristan talked about the current Prime Minister Tywin Lannister, "Tywin, the king and his father are close friends since childhood. Tywin has been Prime Minister for 20 years and solved the problem of the king and Bradford. The financial disputes in Sri Lanka have abolished many laws that restrained nobles before, reduced and exempted taxes in big cities, built roads, strengthened trade, severely punished opportunism, quelled the chaos in Duskendale City, and actively advocated the tournament. There should be a small profit from the taxation of traveling merchants."
Stannis also got drunk and shook his head a bit, then said, "Someone is smuggling in the territory recently, I must cut off his fingers if I catch him!"
Robert didn't want to discuss official business during the banquet, so he immediately changed the subject and asked where everyone was going after the tourney. Prince Rhaegar said to go west with Oberon, he went to Summerhall and Oberon returned to Dorne.
The children Werther and Renly couldn't get in the conversation, they could only watch them spit at each other.Werther turned his head to study Ed again.
Ed Stark's long face is not handsome but very kind, with dark brown hair and gray eyes. While the others were talking and laughing, he peeked at Dawn Sword's younger sister, Ashara Dayne, from time to time.Ashara was tall and fair-skinned, with dark hair and purple eyes, she was indeed beautiful.Whenever Ashara turned to look at him, she immediately looked at the others.The honest and honest Duke of Winterfell in the future is also a shy young man now.
Werther was eating, looking at this group of people who were drinking and talking and thinking [These are all famous characters in the original book, and they are all in their 20s and 3s. My brothers are on good terms now, and they eat meat. Drinking heavily, chatting and laughing recklessly, next year's Harrenhal Tournament will be the most popular, as a result of the mad king's madness, everyone will become enemies of life and death, and those who die will flee.I am less than [-] years old and I am too small to speak lightly. I don't know if the future will bring some small changes. 】
Storm's End is very large, and these are people of status. After the meal, Stannis arranged for them and the subordinates he brought to live in the castle. Only Robert took Oberon to a brothel happily.
With so many masters here, Werther would not miss them. Watching them practice in the training ground during the day, Robert's warhammer, Oberon's marksmanship, Dawn Excalibur's swordsmanship, and other people's respective martial arts skills, benefited a lot .Holding a toy sword, I practiced with them for a few days, and also increased my one-handed weapon and parry proficiency.
He even swiped twice with the family's giant sword "Dawn" of the Sword of Dawn, but it was still too heavy to make any movements. Holding the sword upright in his hand won a lot of amazement.Through the perception of forging skills and enchanting skills, this sword is only good in material and forging process. It is made of meteoric iron, and the blade is white and bright. Its strength is comparable to that of Valyrian steel swords, but there is no magic reflection on the sword.
Everyone praised Robert, the fourth brother who can persist in training with everyone at such a young age. He will definitely become a great knight in the future and his future is limitless. Robert laughed and responded proudly, and then looked at Werther, but revealed It's a pity, but it's a pity that he ranks fourth.
The time for the tournament at Storm's End is getting closer and closer. The tournament venue and stands outside the city have already been set up, and the tents set up by the itinerant merchants gathered nearby have almost doubled the size of the small town outside Storm's End.There are also many gorgeous big tents belonging to nobles from all over the place. The tents are full of carpets, furniture, food and wine. They come to participate in the competition, do business, buy and sell territorial goods, and make connections. In short, the whole Storm's End is getting more and more lively.
--------
The political system of Westeros continent can be simply understood as a pyramid shape. The top is the king of the seven countries. The king of the seven countries can order the dukes of the seven countries, but they cannot order the people on the lower level. The earls on the lower level only recognize their own dukes .The kings of the Seven Kingdoms have their own royal territories directly under their jurisdiction.
Chapter 4 Assemble in Storm's End
More and more nobles came from all over the world, but they would first enter the castle and find Robert to say hello and make friends, and hang the banner with their own family crest in the castle hall.
Seeing the busy Stannis, Werther casually said
"There are a lot more people coming this time than expected. The tournament stands can be made bigger and charge more money."
Stannis stopped, thought for a while and replied without turning his head.
"I'll go and see" and left.
Werther often seems to be inadvertent, and based on his experience before time travel, he will give a few hints about the different places where the tournament is held. As for whether Stannis can listen to it, he doesn’t know. After all, he is too young to speak lightly. Advising him directly would definitely bring him a look of anger [I want your three-year-old to teach? 】
Renly didn't know where he went, and Werther went back to the bedroom, releasing the light spell to consume his magic power, and gradually improved his proficiency in the transformation system after a few days of practice.A servant knocked on the door, saying that the uncle's family had arrived.
When they came to the hall, Robert, Stannis, and Renly were all there. His mother was from the Ismond family and also a vassal of his own. The fiefdom was Greenstone Castle on Ismond Island.Because it is on the island, the family owns a large number of ships and merchant ships.Those who came by boat today were the owner's uncle, Earl Elton Ismond, and his second uncle, Sir Lomas Ismond, and his eldest cousins, Emond Ismond and Andrew Ismond.The flag of their family has already been hung up. How should I put it, the green background and a big green tortoise are hard to say.
I had a few words with my two uncles, and I was chatting with my two cousins when another guard came outside to announce, "Lord Leighton Hightower of Old Town in the Reach, Randyll Tarly of Horn Castle in the Reach The Earl, and the three Earl Jason Melista of Sea Frontier City in the Riverlands have arrived."
Robert apologized for not saying anything to his uncle, and asked Stannis to take the uncles to the castle to rest, and continued to greet the guests himself.
Hearing a familiar name, the future king of character and the father of Samwell, who was the first person to kill the White Walker in 8000 years, Lando Tarly, Werther was also a little curious and looked out of the hall door.A group of people came in from outside the gate. The three leaders must be the three earls, followed by their family members or followers.
They didn't recognize each other, but they didn't know who was who until they heard Robert greet each other.
Randyll Tarly was serious, with a moustache, and the top of his head was beginning to lose hair.As the three approached, Werther felt more and more obvious magical fluctuations.
When Robert invited them to sit down, the four of them began to exchange greetings, taking the initiative to lean over because of their young age, and the magic wave appeared on the two-handed sword held by Randall Tarly's servant, the Valyrian steel sword "broken Heart".
It was the first time I saw a magic item, and it was the most legendary Valyrian steel product on the continent of Westeros. The temptation was too great, and Werther cheekily asked with a virginal face, "Lord Randyll, can you touch it?" your sword?"
Randyll turned to see that before X could speak, Robert yelled at Werther.
"No disrespect, this is the family sword of Lord Randyll."
Turning to Landau again and saying
"This is my youngest brother, Werther Baratheon, who is less than 3 years old this year. He has been practicing martial arts with us recently. We told him about the swords of the world. This kid really has a good eye, and he can see it at a glance. The earl's sword is a good thing."
In Robert's words, he first educated his younger brother about his impoliteness, then he revealed his identity, he also said that he was hardworking and smart in martial arts, and then he praised Randal's sword, which deeply touched Randal's character.
Although Randall himself is average in martial arts, he is martial, but he is brave and resourceful in combat, and his integrity is upright. In the original book, Robert suffered the only defeat during the rebellion—the Battle of Poplar Beach, and his loyalty was unparalleled. The Tyrell family, who had been loyal to Highgarden from the beginning to the end, only raised their children too radically, thinking that their sons could only be warriors.
Landau looked at Werther and said
"This sword is a two-handed giant sword, can you handle it?"
As soon as Werther heard that there was a door, he hurriedly said
"I can lift the Dawn Sword of Dawn Excalibur."
After hearing this, Lando beckoned the guard to hand over the sword, and the guard held the scabbard and stretched the hilt to Werther. The hilt and grid of "Broken Heart" are full of complicated patterns. Werther held the hilt and slowly pulled out the blade. The blade was faintly black and had ripples like smoke. Through forging skills and Enchanting skills, I feel that the sword body is folded and forged, similar to Damascus steel.Holding the hilt with both hands and drawing out the sword, it felt much lighter than the "Dawn" of the Sword of Dawn, and the people around couldn't help sighing when he swung it slowly twice.
[I'm afraid that when Ran Dao teaches Samwell a lesson, I will become someone else's son in his mouth]
Werther didn't think about it anymore. When the sword was inserted back into the scabbard after reading it, he touched the blade with the other hand and immediately felt the material. Sky Furnace Steel + 4/6 flawless grinding process + purification enchantment (send the undead creature back to the scabbard) original world).
[The Valyrian steel sword is very similar to the forging process and enchantment in the game of The Elder Scrolls 5, so I can also make Valyrian steel weapons in the future? 】
[Furthermore, Mr. Martin also said that Valyrian steel is not mined, but made by repeatedly forging steel to remove impurities and adding magic. 】
Withdrawing his thoughts and thanking Earl Landau, he returned to the bedroom and thought about how to upgrade his forging technology.
[I remember that there was a blacksmith named Donal Noye in the castle, who made Robert’s warhammer and Stannis’s first sword. Later, he injured his arm slightly during the Snatcher War, and it was amputated without timely treatment after inflammation. With his left hand, he joined the night watchman and continued to be a blacksmith, and later mixed with Jon Snow. 】
[Robert's warhammer can kill Prince Rhaegar, who has a whole body of refined armor, and it hasn't broken after the shock. This blacksmith's craft should be good enough, you can learn from him]
Just do what you say, and run to the blacksmith shop. There are still a few days left before the start of the martial arts competition. Because more and more weapons and armor are damaged by training, the blacksmith shop is very busy.As a subordinate blacksmith in the castle, there is no charge for building and maintenance, and the city owner will give a fixed monthly remuneration.Blacksmiths outside the city charge by the piece, but their skills cannot be guaranteed.
Find Donna with the introduction of the guard
"Mr. Donna Noye, I want you to help me build two swords suitable for me, a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword."
After thinking about it, Tang Na took a long dagger and a ruler from the shelf because the materials for the child would not cost much.
Donner measured Werther's height and hand length.The long dagger is used as a one-handed sword, and the weight is more suitable after trying it.As a result, Donner retracted the dagger again.
"But I can't give it to you now, I need Lord Robert's consent."
"Brother definitely agrees"
There was no problem with the blacksmith, so Werther approached Robert and talked about it. Robert was surprised that a child under the age of 3 wanted to practice martial arts with an iron sword, while a 3-year-old child in another family was still playing with mud.
"Vert, I just ask two questions, are you going to hurt yourself?"
Robert is not stupid, at least he was diligent, friendly, brave, and fearless when he was young, otherwise he would not be able to lead the armies to win the throne, he just didn't like to manage the political affairs of the territory.But after becoming a king, no one can control extravagance and leisure, so this relaxation was put to the bottom, and eventually he became a fat man who owed millions of gold dragon debts.
"My toy sword never hit me"
After hearing the answer, Robert asked a second question
"Can your sword hurt anyone?" Robert often heard the maid say that Werther beat Renly to tears with a toy wooden sword, afraid that Werther would take the real sword and hurt Renly and the others.
Of course Werther knew what Robert was thinking.
"Toys are toys, iron swords are weapons, iron swords protect family and friends, and only enemies are hurt."
After hearing this, Robert didn't want to think too much. His precocious fourth brother has started to learn to write in the common language when he is less than 3 years old, but no matter how clever he is, he is obviously very satisfied with this answer.
"I agree, but once you hurt someone, you have to continue to use the wooden sword. By the way, tell your second brother."
Satisfied, Werther told his second brother and the blacksmith, and got two iron weapons.In fact, Robert also thought too much, because the weapon in his hand was shaped like a sword except for the handle, and the blade was just a rectangular piece of iron!No edge or point, just the right weight.
Since then, everyone on the training ground laughed and watched Werther swinging the iron sheet around every day. For them, this is a toy.Every day, I follow different people to learn their martial arts. Although Prince Rhaegar is superb in martial arts, he is the first to call stop every time he fights against Arthur, and Arthur can easily deal with Ed.Martell doesn't like spears very much.Robert's warhammer takes the strength route and most of the time he is practicing physical fitness.
More and more flags were flying in the castle.
The Dondarion family, the Ford family, and the Swann family, these three families guard the borders of the Stormlands and Dorne. Each family has heavy troops and their fortresses are difficult to attack because they are easy to defend.
The three Cavron family, the Wensington family and the Pauline family with the deer on their family crests were families that were entrusted independently after the members of the Baratheon family received credit for countless generations ago.
House Selmy, House Tarth, House Penrose, House Granderson, House Buckler, House Morrigan, House Wilder, House Fell, House Errol, House Beadsbury, House Meite The Lin family are vassal families with cities and a lot of land.
The Hastie family, the Heston family, the Hope family, the Kenlington family, the Longmoss family, the Musculan family, the Rogers family, the Stonemon family, the Westgate family, the Tudbury family, The Wagstaffs, the Clintons, these garrison fort or property knight families.
In addition to the uncle's family, all the vassal families belonging to the storm land have arrived, just waiting for the start of the game.
Chapter 5 Tournament of Storm's End
The time has come for the start of the tournament.The guards brought Werther and Renly into the arena, and the stands increased a little more than a few days ago.
[It seems that Stannis will not be troubled by money, and the matter of making money is absolutely unambiguous. 】
The flags of noble families from all over the place were planted around the venue.Outside the arena, there are contestants who are about to enter the arena checking and wiping their weapons and armor, cleaning and putting on exquisite horse armor on the horses, and doing final preparations. Even if they can't win the game, they have to save face.
The crowd is stepping up to the stands to take their seats, and everyone is wearing their best clothes to the scene. The martial arts tournament is not only a grand sports event in this era, but also an important occasion to socialize with various nobles. Many nobles bring their unmarried children together. Come and see if there is a chance to meet other noble youths.
As a member of the host family who organized this martial arts competition, naturally, there is no need to worry about not having a seat.
On the rostrum, Prince Rhaegar and Robert naturally sat on the two tallest chairs drinking and talking.
The three duke families represented by Oberon of Dorne, Albert of the Valley, and Ed of the North each have a seat.
In the stand closest to the rostrum, Stannis, his two uncles, and some noble family members of the earl rank had already taken their seats. Werther naturally walked to the vacant seat next to Renly and sat down.
As for Barristan and Dawn Sword Arthur, this is a formal occasion. The two of them are the Kingsguard and have to work as guards of honor and guards for the prince. They can only stand and listen to their conversation.
The martial arts competition is divided into spear competition, archery and group competition.Aristocrats pay more attention to spear competitions and group competitions. Archery is just a performance, and they usually don't participate if they feel noble.So the archery project is more of a stage for some proletarian knights and soldiers to compete for success.
Robert saw that almost everyone was seated in the arena, and then he waved his hand. More than 20 soldiers in full-body armor and cloaks with crowns and stag patterns blew a few neat trombones, and the tournament officially began.
Due to the large number of participants, the competition will last for several days. First, there are various preliminaries.
Because archery can be played by multiple people at once and it is easy to judge the winner, the champion was decided on the first day. An attendant from the Granderson family won the championship and was canonized as a knight by Robert on the spot.
Due to his young age, Werther can only be a spectator, but unlike Renly who exclaims in the stands for a while and then dozes off for a while, Werther walks around in the stands, and even walks around the city with his guards when there is no game. A small notebook to write and draw, has been recording some information.
The next day was the team competition final.
The rules for group tournaments are that a general will lead several knights or attendants to represent their respective families in the competition. Traditionally, there are seven teams in each competition, but there are exceptions, such as the number of participants is not enough.
Prince Rhaegar and Dawn Excalibur did not compete, but Barristan represented the royal family.His squire, Jon Connington, represents the Clintons.The seven teams that eventually participated in the finals fought in a scuffle wearing heavy armor and holding weapons.Those who are weak and physically weak are gradually knocked down and eliminated from the stage.
With only a few men left, Barristan of the Kingsguard first defeated Jon Connington and then Lord Leighton Hightower from Oldtown of Highgarden.Jon's martial arts generally don't expect to win, he just came to learn.Layton was older than Barristan, and by this time his physical strength could no longer keep up.
Lord Randyll Tarly from Highgarden Hornburg, his martial arts skills are not as good as other masters, and he is better at commanding legion battles. Now all his subordinates have been eliminated, leaving him alone, without any advantage.Face to face with Robert, Robert uses a hammer in a completely different way than a sword. Although it is a match that cannot be used to death, but when the hammer hits the armor, the force can still directly penetrate the armor and hurt the body. Pay attention to being hit by Robert on the breastplate and fell to the ground in pain, and was pushed out of the field by the guards who maintained order.
In fact, the nobles in the stands are even more envious of the Valyrian steel sword "Broken Heart" in his hand. All the nobles present this time, including the prince, do not have a Valyrian steel sword, and no one wants to spend money to buy it. Even the richest man in the country, Duke Tywin Lannister, has offered a reward for more than ten years and still hasn't bought it, so many people speculate that he is here to show off his family's sword.When Barristan and Robert met, Robert's hammering moves were suppressed by Barristan's rich experience and sword skills. Robert was wearing heavy armor and swung his warhammer loudly, but he couldn't hit Barristan. Listan was either dodged or blocked by the sword, but he was exhausted, and was sent out of the arena with Barristan's sword on his neck.
The final team battle will be Barristan of the Kingsguard against Oberon of Dorne.
Dorne is the only place in Westeros with deserts, where the weather is too hot and the metal armor will be burned by the sun, so most people wear light leather armor, and only the vital parts are protected by metal plate armor.If defense is a shortcoming, the weapon must be long. Dawn mostly uses long spears, and takes the agile route with his pace.It is said that Aegon the Conqueror collected the swords of the defeated and cast them into the Iron Throne with dragon flames, and the Dornishmen looked at their spears and laughed without saying a word.
Although this Prince Oberon is highly skilled in martial arts, he also likes to show off. Prince Oberon has a noble status, is in his early 20s, looks handsome and full of exotic charm, and the key is that he is still unmarried.Every time after defeating the opponent, he will dance with a spear to be cool, and every time he wins a piece of girl's scream.
Moreover, there are many venomous snakes, scorpions, and poisonous lizards in the Dorn Desert. Oberon is also proficient in poison science. His spears have always been poisoned, and he often wears red clothes, so he is called the red viper.Although there will be no poison that will seal the throat with blood in the martial arts competition, there will definitely be poisons that make people feel miserable or dizzy.
The Red Viper surrounded Barristan, relying on the advantage of the length of the weapon to keep probing, and stabbed Barristan heavily from time to time.Barristan is wearing heavy armor, and even now he is panting heavily. Facing this kind of attack, he let go of the stance of holding the sword with both hands against the plate armor knight. For the time being, he chooses the stance of holding the sword with one hand and maintaining balance with the other to increase his soul. defense.
Before a heavy stab came, Barristan found the timing and hit the spearhead from top to bottom to the ground, and his body quickly got close to the red viper.The long spear stabbed by the Red Viper was struck down, and the force of the spear was stopped in time before it entered the soil, but the smooth attack was interrupted, and he drew the long spear forcefully to retreat quickly, trying to open the distance, but Barristan had already In close quarters, the advantage of the spear could not be used, and Barristan knocked him down and fell to the ground.
The royal family represented by Barristan won the team competition.
The third day of jousting final stage
The two sides fought against each other on horseback with wooden spears and shields, so a full set of plate armor was necessary, and civilians could not afford this equipment alone.So those who participated in this competition were all nobles.
The participants are all nobles, with their own family crests on their armor and shields, and every knight on the field is the glory of the family.
The Red Viper Oberon met Prince Rhaegar in the semi-final decisive battle. Everyone in the world knows that all Dornishmen use spears, Oberon is even more skilled in martial arts, and Prince Rhaegar basically uses swords.But after the two sides fought back and forth for several rounds, a breeze blew across the arena and raised a little dust. Oberon made a mistake and was shot down by Prince Rhaegar. Prince Rhaegar won and entered the final battle.Oberon got up from the ground, took off his helmet, and rubbed his eyes vigorously as if sand had entered them.Got a No.3.
The final spear fight is Dawn Excalibur vs. Prince Rhaegar.Dawn Excalibur and Lei Jia smashed 13 long spears in [-] consecutive rounds, and finally the shield was smashed and fell off by Lei Jia in the No.[-] round. Since it is called Excalibur, it must be ordinary with spears.
Prince Rhaegar won the jousting joust,
The lively tournament ended. Some people stayed in Storm's End to continue doing business or entertain guests. Some of the people who had traveled a long way were ready to pack up and leave. The merchants also began to dismantle their tents and load their carriages to go to the next place. He was dragged back to the castle by Robert to eat and drink.
Werther felt bored and went to Stannis, and they calculated the income of this tournament with Maester Cresen and his two uncles in the study.Taxes from local and foreign caravans account for a small part, and the government is the main source of income.
The continent of Westeros believes in the seven gods, and the teachings of the seven gods do not approve of gambling, against illegitimate birth, and the most serious curses are rape and kin killing.Everyone thinks that rape and kinslaying are very serious, and if they make mistakes, they will basically be sentenced to death or sent to night watchmen.But gambling and illegitimate childbirth are not such serious crimes. What people say and what they do are two different things.
