"He sent you to study in the city?" Robert was afraid that his younger brother would be bewitched by Oberon, after all, his uncle and sister had died in Dorne before the war.

"How is it possible? I only met him a few times in Dorne. I am a magician, and I found that I have encountered a bottleneck. I need a lot of knowledge to improve my magic level, so I have to go to the city of learning."

"Well, you have had your own ideas since you were a child. I will listen to you this time. When you want to come back, write a letter to my elder brother. I will find a way to get you out of the school city, so that your reputation will not be affected." Robert was afraid. Dropping out of school will affect the reputation of the fourth brother, and as the king himself, there are many legitimate ways to make the younger brother drop out of school reasonably.

"Thank you in advance, big brother, and there is another very important thing, big brother, please be sure to do it."

Robert saw that what the fourth brother said seemed to be very important, and he also felt that there was something urgent, so he said seriously:

"I'm the king of the Seven Kingdoms now, what can't I do? Tell me!"

"Clean up the shit in King's Landing, it's too stinky." "Hahaha, it's really stinky, brother, this matter is done!" Robert said that he had to do something, and finally left it to the ministers. How much would it cost? He doesn't care about money.

Werther thought [Anyway, Robert likes to spend money recklessly, at least spend money to do something good]

"By the way, where did you put the dragon skull in the hall? Renly and I want to see it."

"I'll ask the guards to show you." Robert immediately agreed, and by the way, called Barristan in from outside the study to give him instructions.

"Now that my eldest brother has become the king, I don't need to keep my knowledge of magic secret, but I don't need to make an official announcement. I will show it slowly at the right time. After all, magic that has disappeared for hundreds of years must be accepted by everyone. process."

Robert looked at Barristan, who was present, and then at Werther, as if Werther had only said about himself and not about Renly just now, knowing that Werther's magic was stronger than Renly, he turned to look at Renly.

Renly nodded. This was discussed with Werther before, and he had to keep it secret until he learned the intermediate level of destruction magic. One year in Dorne also made Renly realize that this world is not so beautiful.

"That's no problem, you have the final say on your affairs, brother, I will support you unconditionally."

"If there's nothing else, Werther and I are going to see the dragon skull." Renly heard that the matter was over, and he was eager to see the dragon.

Chapter No.16 Going to the School City

Werther knows that the profession of magic in this world can only rely on the accumulation of knowledge and continuous practice.In the early stage, I can learn quickly by relying on the experience and knowledge of this world, but after learning intermediate magic, I have no knowledge of rules that I have never touched, and the progress is very slow.So Werther has to go to the Academy City to study and find more ways to understand this world that once had magic.

At the same time, I will continue to look for books in the world of the ancient scrolls in the magic awareness group, and maybe I will find a book about dragon roar.

The library of the Red Keep is also a good place, there is a large collection of books from the previous Targaryen houses.Tywin asked his men to loot the gold and silver products in the castle, and had no interest in these books. Only a few books inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones were torn from their covers.There should be books about dragons in this world, but the library is too big, and there are too many messy books to find.

Werther also went to the Alchemists Guild to look for pyromancers to see their wildfires. A group of pyromancers said they were created by magic.Features Take out a jar and feel it carefully. There is no magical fluctuation. Smell the taste and look at the color and then use alchemy to detect it. This wildfire should be refined from petroleum, which is between gasoline and diesel. There are many impurities, so it appears green.

Werther and Renly were not eligible to attend the imperial meeting in the next few days, but attended a court meeting in the hall as representatives of the Baratheon family.

Before the entire King's Landing City and the Red Castle were looted by Tywin, and Dragonstone Island was not captured, the troops from all over the country were sent back first. This time, during Robert's wedding, all the meritorious personnel will come to receive awards and participate in the tournament by the way.

At the meeting, Robert first rewarded the various heroes in this war. While the meritorious people in this war knelt on one knee in the middle of the hall to accept the rewards, it also symbolized the formal oath of allegiance to the new King of the Seven Kingdoms.

The four who benefited the most are: Tywin Lannister was named the Guardian of the West, his close friend Ned Stark was named the Guardian of the North, the Guardian of the East was given to his adoptive father Jon Arryn, and the Guardian of the South was named the Guardian of the North. Mace Tyrell.

There are many rewards for other meritorious personnel, and everyone is happy. This is a rare contribution from the dragon in hundreds of years.

Then announce the members of the new imperial council.

Jon Arryn, Robert's adoptive father, was the interim Prime Minister and is now officially appointed as the Prime Minister.

The former chancellor of the exchequer, Colton Chester, was burned to death by the mad king for dissuading the mad king from burning the city. There is currently no suitable candidate.

There is currently no suitable candidate for the Minister of Justice.

The great scholar Pai Sear also contributed to opening the gate of King's Landing, but he is a bachelor, sent by the Academy City to assist King's Landing City, and has nothing to do with the war, so he will not be rewarded and will continue to be a great scholar.

The Chief of Intelligence continues to use the Mad King's Varys, because he has a lot of news for Robert.

Then Stannis was made Duke of Dragonstone and appointed Lord of the Admiralty.Leave the original clan land Stormlands to Renly, and make Renly the Duke of Storm's End.Stannis was furious.

Werther continued to read in the castle, and found a book on Valyrian, and was very surprised when he opened it.

[The lingua franca of the Game of Thrones TV series Westeros uses English, but the Valyrian language of the Eastern Continent is incomprehensible.And when I traveled here, I couldn't understand the common language of Westeros, so I started learning it when I was a child.And the Valyrian language of the Eastern Continent is indeed English.And what is High Valyrian?

It suddenly occurred to me that before I absorbed the dragon soul, there were a few words in dragon language. Common Valyrian is English. Could it be that high Valyrian is dragon language? 】

Find Maester Pycelle who is also in the library and inquire

"There are quite a few people who speak Valyrian (English) on the Eastern Continent, but High Valyrian has been lost. There are only a few objects with inscriptions on them, but no one can recognize them. This language It’s been lost.”

[These two worlds are really integrated so closely?There are still other unknown secrets. 】

Werther found other books in common Valyrian, and he could still understand them with his CET-[-] English level. The English was indeed correct, but there were some more vocabulary unique to this world.

[At least one more foreign language that can be used in the Eastern Continent]

Afterwards, at Robert's wedding and at the tourney, Werther was organizing thoughts about the Valyrian language in his head, and he didn't say much.I only paid attention to some people at the wedding [Tywin started to lose his hair, and he was wearing a gold thread cloak that was flamboyant, showing that the Lannister family is rich all the time.James is very handsome, and Cersei is indeed very beautiful, to be precise, she is coquettish, the kind that makes people desire at first sight, but thinking of the future activities of the two of them makes a toothache.Tyrion is standing behind the dining table talking to Jaime and can only see the top of his head.I also saw the magic mountain who was less than 20 years old. He was taller than ordinary people, but he definitely did not have giant blood.Jorah Mormont in the North is now the proud Earl of Bear Island, Sir Bolton the Skinner with a benevolent face, and Davos Seaworth, the onion knight with bandaged fingers]

Robert lost his temper that night, saying that Cersei had sold the vacant places of the five Kingsguard, and his mood improved after Stannis said how much money the tourney made.

At the wedding, Robert also announced the new appointments of the family, including changes in the staff under his jurisdiction.

The eldest brother Robert is the King of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Realm, and directly governs the royal domain. Because of his marriage with the Lannister family, he has also reached some private relationships, and the family crest is changed to half a crowned stag and half a lion.

The second brother Stannis was previously named the Duke of Dragonstone Island, and he had to control the navy, commanding the three island territories of Dragonstone Island, Crab Island and Tidehead Island.The family crest was changed to a flaming red heart with a gold background, with a crowned stag inside.

The third son of the twin brother, Renly, changed from the third heir of the family to the original Patriarch of Baratheon: the Duke of Storm's End, who inherited the command of the Stormlands, and the territory remained unchanged.The family crest is still a stag with a golden crown and a crown.

The youngest twin brother, Werther, was enshrined as the Lord of Buckhorn Castle in the royal area, and the territory was temporarily managed by the royal family until he came of age.The family emblem is a stag with a golden crown and a crown, but a burning flame is added above the deer's head.

Antler Castle is a military fortress in the royal area. It is a very small place. The original city owner died in the labor revolution. Now it is given to his younger brother by the king as a spoil of war. The other nobles have no objections.

The four Baratheon brothers officially separated.

~~~

Werther went to the City of Learning to pass through Highgarden, so he stopped by and went south with the Tyrell family.Before leaving the Red Castle, he personally handed Robert a note full of names. The people on it were all unstable factors, and the names of Pycelle and Littlefinger were all on it.No specific reason was written, because many things happened in the future. Whether these people should be killed or left is up to Robert to deal with. Now these people are still small roles, and the king can find any reason for wanting them to die.

Although the Tyrell family supported the Targaryen royal family on the surface in the previous war, but because they had reached a conspiracy with Robert, they came to the wedding this time and were warmly received by Robert, and Mace Tyrell was also banned from the southern border. Guardian, Robert also promoted some Tyrells in some kingdom duties, because the Tyrells were rich.Therefore, during the king's wedding, many people from Tyrell's family went to King's Landing, but few returned. Some members of the family stayed in King's Landing to serve.

On the mainland of Westeros, it is said that the Lannister family in the western region is the richest, and their shit is gold, and the Tyrell family in the Reach has always been ranked second.But Werther knew that the western region made his fortune from gold and silver mines, and he must have privately minted coins, and the mines were almost exhausted.

On the river bend side, the climate is warm and there are many rivers.Under the conditions of productivity in this era, not to mention nobles, even ordinary farmers can have free space to plant flowers!Mineral deposits are resources that will be exhausted, and agriculture is a sustainable economy, so the wealth of the Reach comes second to reality.

The Duke of Mace looked down on those small positions and followed them home. The two children, Veras Tyrell and Garlan Tyrell, will definitely get back, and the real head of Highgarden, Olenna Red temperature.This guy is only 56 years old now, and his legs and feet are still very good. Every time he goes to the hotel, he takes his two grandchildren for a walk.

Olenna is very smart, and Werther likes to chat with smart people, but this one has a very bad habit: she speaks humorously when she is in a good mood, and when she is in a bad mood, she can swear when she wants to. Where she is in charge, she is a little restrained in speaking, but she can also make people speechless with irony, so the nobles nicknamed her: Queen of Thorns.Werther didn't want to stay with the old lady.

Werther's two front teeth fell out and his speech leaked out. He didn't want to see anyone and basically hid in the carriage to read and study the Valyrian language of this world.But sometimes you have to face her.

No.17 Old Town

Rose Avenue is the main road connecting High Court and King's Landing, and it takes ten days at the fastest to ride a horse.There are many hotels along the road.Everyone went to the hotel for dinner, and stayed in the hotel for a rest, then left the next day.

The seats for eating and sitting were tacitly arranged according to the level of status. The soldiers of the Reach sat together, the knights sat together, the earl and his wife sat together, and the Tyrell family, the lord of Highgarden, sat alone at the table. Werther is now the king of the Seven Kingdoms The younger brother, Lord Antlers, naturally can only sit at the same table with the Tyrells.

While eating, Olenna felt a little annoyed that Werther ignored her these days, so she wanted to tease the child, and elegantly cut a piece of meat and put it on Werther's plate:

"I heard that you are engaged to an illegitimate daughter? I'm afraid you won't be able to eat meat after marriage. Eat more now."

The 10-year-old Vilas and the chubby Garland saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly buried their heads in eating, fearing that they would burn themselves.

Werther looked at Olenna [What do these mean? 】

"F~ people don't have to worry, T~A is not an illegitimate daughter now."

He intentionally made his words unclear, and grinned at Olenna to reveal the two missing front teeth, indicating that it is inconvenient for you to speak, and then, like the Tyrell brothers, eat quickly and run away after eating.

olenna went on to say

"So Robert made you a maester again?"

"I Q~U will leave after studying for a while, isn't that the case for many nobles?"

When Olenna saw Werther's answer, she thought she was just an ordinary 6-year-old child, and she kept silent at the wedding, but now she found something different.

Olenna wanted to continue, but Werther left the hotel with a "Sorry, toothache" after eating.

"No matter how honorable he is, he's still a child, just treat him according to the etiquette, what's there to talk about with him?" Mace Tyrell felt that it was unnecessary for his mother to talk so much with a child as he ate.

"Others go to the school city at the age of 6, and look at you, Lord Mace, how many words can you write when you are 6 years old? Except that you eat like a fool."

Vilas and Garland's family watched grandma stare at her father so angry that she dared not speak out, wanted to laugh but dared not laugh, for fear that Olenna would hear her laughing, and it would be her turn next.Anyone in the village who has never been told knows about grandma's temper. She is not forgiving, but she loves her family very much.

Mace is arrogant and short-sighted, and he is not good at making money. All major events depend on his mother Olenna's advice, so Olenna is the real person in power in High Court. Naturally, Mace is better informed than Mace, but he is his son after all, so he still needs to be reminded.

"Someone in King's Landing said that the marriage contract was originally his brother Renly, but Werther offered to change it to himself. I also noticed that he read the book written in Valyrian. Not mentioning it, it means Robert is trying to protect him."

Olenna turned to look at the two grandchildren

"The two of you will get in touch with him when you have the opportunity to build a good relationship. Left hand and right hand, let the team prepare to go."

"Okay, Grandma." No one in the Tyrell family could say no to what Grandma said.

~~~

After passing by Highgarden and parting from Tyrell's house, the caravan continued along Rose Avenue to the end point: Old Town.Although it is called Old Town, it is actually the largest city in Westeros.

The old town is at the mouth of a mead river. The most obvious building is the towering tower, which is not only a lighthouse but also the castle of the Heerta family. Werther estimates that it is about 300 meters high, and the base is almost as high as the real world. Oriental Pearl TV station, but much thicker than Oriental Pearl, this is a military fortress, legend has it that Brandon, the builder of the Great Wall in the north, built it with magic, but most people think that Brandon only built the Great Wall, Storm’s End, and the towering tower It was built by another Brandon of the same name.

The second is the huge Starry Church, which was the resident place of the archbishop of the Seven Gods, but now the resident place has moved to the Baylor Cathedral in King's Landing City.There are no huge and obvious buildings in the school city, it is a complex of buildings, similar to the current university city.

The old town and King's Landing are completely different. King's Landing is extremely ugly, and the streets of the Old Town are clean and tidy, with countless waterways running through it, allowing merchant ships to sail directly into the city.

The first thing Werther wants to do when he arrives in Old Town is to visit the Hightower family in the Tower of Sky.The Hightower family is the most powerful family in the Reach. The current head, Lord Leighton Hightower, was an acquaintance who had been to Storm's End to participate in the National Tournament before. His third daughter, Ellie Hightower, married It was given to Mace Tyrell, the mother of Vilas, Garland, Loras, and Margaery. This time Werther came to visit first. After all, the local snake will live here for several years and fight with their family. A good relationship is right.

Layton remained in King's Landing, and his son, Ser Baelor Hightower, as the eldest son and heir, warmly received Werther in the castle and held a small banquet.The next day, he asked his younger brother, Gunsor Hightower, who is the ninth in the family, to take Werther to the Academy City to report, because Gunsol is also studying in the Academy City.

Old Layton is really capable of giving birth. Gunsor was born by his fourth wife. He is 17 or 8 years old this year. He also has a younger brother who ranks tenth in his family. However, the brothers and sisters of the Hightower family are all good-looking. The handsome men and the beautiful women are much better than the old Frey in the river land who only cares about quantity and not quality. The nobles all over the country know that Old Frey loves to have children but is always crooked.

Werther and Gunthor, who led the way, chatted about the old town along the way, constantly praising the city's good planning.Hearing the praise for building the old town so well, Gunthor was also very proud of the family.

"I heard from your brother that you are learning the language of the Eastern Continent now. Do you know Valyrian?" Werther wanted to know some information about Valyrian.

"I'm learning Midsummer Islands language. I haven't learned Valyrian, because everything about Valyria in the Academy City will be despised." Gunthor said something about the Academy City, and Werther saw that he didn't understand, just ask him other things first

"I still have to buy a small house in Old Town. I live in the Academy City, but the guards I bring need to stay here for a few years. Is there any way?"

Gunsol thought for a while, "I usually don't know much about it in Xuecheng. I only know that a businessman who specializes in buying and selling houses is very familiar with our family. We can go to him to have a look."

"Businessmen who are familiar with your family must be relieved. Let's go."

When he came to the merchant, Gunsor and the merchant greeted each other a few words, and Werther asked the merchant, "I need to buy a house that can accommodate my guards near the school city. I wonder if there is any suitable house, sir?"

The businessman had a friendly face, the guests brought by Gunsor must be nobles, and there must be some money, but seeing that Werther is a child, a house that can accommodate twenty people is not a small amount of money, and it is usually bought by adults. So he didn't answer and looked at Gunsol with a questioning face.

"My name is Werther Baratheon. I am Sir Antlers, the younger brother of King Robert of the Seven Kingdoms. You don't have to worry about buying the house myself." Gunthor knew that Werther's status was special, so he didn't take the initiative to introduce him. Waiting for Werther himself explain.

"It turned out to be Sir Werther. I have three suitable houses in my hand. I will show you now."

When Werther came to the Academy City this time, all three older brothers sponsored a sum of money, Renly was still a child but contributed the most money, but who made him the richest Duke of Storm's End among the brothers.Robert, the king, spent a lot of money on rewards and weddings before, and he still has to wait for the tax to come up at the end of the year.Stannis's Dragonstone Island has also been evacuated long ago, and he only made a fortune by gambling on the tournament at Robert's wedding.

Under the leadership of the businessman, I looked at three houses, and finally bought a three-storey small building by the water. There were more than a dozen rooms in different sizes, and there were more than one room for two guards.Sell ​​the house when you leave the city in a few years. XX, who is familiar with real estate routines in this world, will definitely not rent a house. Renting a house is purely a waste of money. As long as there are no wars and plagues in the old town, you may be able to earn some money in a few years.

The largest room was reserved for him when he was out of the school city, and the daily management was handed over to the captain of the guard, while the other guards were arranged by him.Werther watched the guards busy

[The current bodyguards are all arranged by Robert. Loyalty is fine but ability is mediocre, and I don’t need protection at all now. In this world, except for poison and dragons, only the mysterious side is left. , the guards will not be able to help them at that time, maybe they have to protect them by themselves, the guards can only do odd jobs and show off, after all, they are a royal family. 】

Werther finally explained a few words to the captain of the guard, and then he and Gunthor set off for the school city.

According to the current system, when you reach level 10, you can recruit your own attendants to build a team. Werther is not in a hurry now. He is developing into a melee mage, and he hasn't learned it yet.

The Academy City is located on the banks of the Mijiu River. It is the place where the bachelors study and is also the highest institution that manages the bachelors of the Seven Kingdoms. It is similar to a modern university.

Werther is listening to Gunsor's introduction to the system of the Academy City

"The school city only accepts men. Those who have just entered the school city are called apprentices. After choosing a subject to study, they are called assistant bachelors. There are more than a dozen subjects in the school city, and they are using the knowledge they have learned to create representative subjects. After wearing a metal ring, he swore to give up his family name, not to marry a wife and have no children, and he was awarded the title of bachelor.”

[It seems that there are already three professions that need to give up their identities in this world, night watchman, kingsguard and bachelor.This should be a system created by various nobles who are afraid that these people will gain power.In the final analysis, it is caused by backward productivity. 】

Werther, as a time traveler, can feel helpless when he hears these emotions.

[Even if the present world is so developed, once the family business inheritance is involved, there will be problems, and the competition for real estate and shares among the descendants will happen at any time, not to mention the world of ice and fire with backward productivity. 】

continue to listen to Gunsor

"After obtaining the title of bachelor, they can be dispatched to serve the lords in various places. The school city is permanently neutral, so bachelors generally do not directly participate in wars. There is also a certain fee for serving the lords, which is to maintain the operation of the school city. Important income. Sometimes the school city will get a donation after solving a big problem for the lord. Apprentices can also do some things at the clerical desk to subsidize their families.”

Werther and Gunthor have already walked to the gate of the Academy City, and there are two statues of Sphinx on both sides of the gate.

[This sphinx statue is a god of ancient Egyptian belief, how could it appear in this world? ] Werther feels more and more that the world is wonderful.

Inside the gate is the clerical desk, where there are various stalls, people come and go here, merchants and people can come here to find apprentices to write wills and write letters, and sell various books and maps.

[Post office, although these look cheap, this is a big business. 】

"Let's go to the Governor's Chamber to register what subject you choose, but anything related to magic will be looked down upon here."

[Materialists, if it’s in the present world, it’s okay to say, but this is really a world with magic and dragons, so you should take the path of combining magic and technology, instead of blindly following the flow of technology or even suppressing magic. 】

Werther started his four-year career in the school city, because besides medicine, the university in the present world is also four years, and the four years in the present world are four years here, and I don’t want to think about it anymore.
