Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

He did Werther a favor, and Werther gave him a little help.For Werther it was a matter of writing a letter, and he might soon be forgotten as a person, but for him it was the prospect of a lifetime.

To put it bluntly, this kind of assistant bachelor who is not in the academy city is hired by the local lord to do odd jobs for the resident bachelors. They will never be recognized by the academy city, but they have to abide by the rules of the academy city.

After he arrived in the Academy City, he had to start as an apprentice, build his own necklace in a few years before he could become a bachelor, and after another ten years of hard work, he might become a bachelor.

Werther picked up the cloth bag and plunged an ice pick into the mouth of the howling knight who was still on the ground.

"It's finally quiet. Let's go. I'll ride a dragon back to King's Landing. It's not safe for you to stay here. Hurry up and pack up your things and go to King's Landing. I'll leave your letter of recommendation with Maester Pepper."

After speaking, he turned around and took him out, the frozen ice automatically melted a road when it met Werther.

The assistant bachelor followed behind with his mouth wide open in surprise.The hall of the barracks outside the door was completely covered with ice, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness. The soldiers were all frozen into ice sculptures, and they still maintained various actions such as holding swords, bending over, and opening their mouths to curse. The whole hall was as cold as an ice cellar, and his breathing was difficult White smoke came out.

"Od~~Ah~~Viing~~!"

A high-pitched roar spread from Eagle's Nest City, echoing continuously in the valley.

"It's over, it's over, the master is leaving! Ho~~~ho~~~"

Along the steep mountain road dug out of the cliff, Ashara Dayne supported her knees with both hands, arched her body and panted heavily.

"Excalibur! I can't do it anymore! I can't climb anymore!"

A shout came from far behind Ashara, and Dennis Ayrin and his knights were all slumped on the mountain road.

The mountain road from the bottom of the mountain to Eagle's Nest City was dug along the rock wall, and there were steps all the way up.Even if a group of knights who have practiced martial arts for a long time are very physical knights, the mountain road is too long and steep, and they are wearing armor and carrying weapons, and they can't lift their legs halfway through the run.

The view of the winding mountain road was obstructed. They heard the voice of Werther calling for the dragon, and Werther couldn't see it even if the signal was sent, so they had no choice but to miss it with Werther.

Chapter 170 Three New Prime Minister (4700)

With the most important evidence in hand, Witte doesn't have to be as anxious on his return journey as when he came.Let Ao Daweiying try to fly in a straight line, turn over the Mingyue Mountains, fly across the Three Forks River and go straight to King's Landing.

What is the Mingyue Mountains?Stone Mountain!Except for some trees on the top of the mountain, only weeds can grow, so many lords in the valley raised a large number of goats.

When Odaviying flies at low altitude, whenever it finds a goat, it will attack, eat and fly all the way.It eats a lot, and the average small lord can't feed such a big meat-eating machine.

Fly over Buckhorn Castle, where Werther's childhood fief.After Werther was promoted to the Duke of Tailosi in the Stone Step Islands, this place was sealed to a royal nobleman who had made meritorious service in the Stone Step Islands.

King's Landing City's celebration of the Stone Step Islands' victory tourney has ended, and the nobles from distant territories have set off to return. Only King's Landing and the nobles of the valley stay here.

It was night again when Werther arrived in King's Landing.He didn't just jump off the tap and float to the Red Keep. Robert was the king after all, and he had to abide by the etiquette that should be in peacetime, and Werther had to go in through the gate.

After the dragon landed, a group of soldiers led more than a dozen blindfolded pigs to satisfy Odawiing's greed. When several butchers saw Werther approaching, they brought the ledger to Werther with smiles on their faces, and Werther checked it. Sign after correctness:

"I'll be back to the Stone Step Islands soon, don't give away these fanned pigs and sheep for now, send me some breeding pigs and sheep!"

"No problem, Mr. Werther, how much quantity do you need?" Werther always pays the bill clearly and quickly. He is very popular with the butchers in Junlin City. These butchers are also happy to deliver the goods in person. If they are lucky, they can even feed the dragon themselves.

"Just go to the port and find Lord Garlan Tyrell."

Werther threw away the cloth bag, and swaggered through the streets of King's Landing City towards the Red Castle, holding the genealogy of the Ayrin family.

Robert was receiving guests, and when he learned that Werther had returned with something, he immediately sent the Kingsguard to take Werther to the drawing room of Maegor's Mansion.

This is the living room outside the king's bedroom, with only a dozen seats, a fireplace, a sofa, a wine cabinet, and a round table. The furniture is all the golden color of the Baratheon family, with comfort as the main focus.

It was very rare for Robert to not drink today, and his mind was very clear. As soon as Werther entered the drawing room, Robert said:

"Have you got the genealogy of the Ayrin family? What's the hair color of my adoptive father?"

Werther put the booklet on the table with a smile, turned to the page of Jon Arryn and said:

"Blue eyes, blond hair, and a hooked nose! The Assistant Bachelor of Eagle's Nest City has also confirmed that the genealogy has no trace of modification."

Robert hurried over to check, stroking the text introducing Jon Arryn's appearance information with his fingers: "Hahaha! I knew it!"

Robert laughed at first, then scowled immediately:

"Lysa Tully bastard! I'm going to behead her and that bastard!"

Werther didn't answer his words, let him vent first.I didn't take a sip of the water when I came back, and went to the wine cabinet to look for water: "Robert! Don't you even have water here!"

"Maid, bring water in!"

Robert was also distracted by Werther's question:

"Water is only available in the queen's bedroom, and my reception room is full of wine!"

Two maids opened the door and came in. One was holding a solid gold jug, the other was holding two solid gold wine glasses. They poured water in front of Robert and the others, and then left the room.

Witte took off the hand-shaped badge on his chest and threw it to Robert: "By the way, has a new Prime Minister been elected? My term will end tomorrow."

Robert took the badge, touched it in his hand, and said with emotion: "There is no election, I appointed directly!"

Werther was a little surprised. Before he left, there were already three candidates, and it stands to reason that there would be more. After a few days, he came back and became directly appointed by the king. Something must have happened.

"Oh! Who is it?"

Robert went to sit on the sofa opposite Werther, looked at Werther, and said, "Matus Rowan!"

"Your father-in-law! Well~~ With his current ability, if he doesn't seek great development, he can barely do it if he maintains the stability of the royal family and the economy." Werther still has some understanding of Matus Rowan.Robert: "He and a few nobles from the Reach came to me on their own initiative. I'll tell you the details."

On the second day after Werther left the city of King's Landing, Duke Mace Tyrell's banquets and relations with Duke Mace were indeed very effective, so good that it had the opposite effect.

The king's father-in-law and the queen's father, Lord Matus Rowan, brought four other nobles from the Reach to find Robert one evening.

It was also in this living room.

Robert: "Matus, what do you guys want me for at this late hour?"

Among the few people sitting on the sofa, the oldest one was Mrs. Egwen Oakheart from the ancient city of Oak in the Reach. Although she was slender and petite, she had many children. One son was the current Kingsguard. He got up and bowed to the king:

"Your Majesty, the five of us represent the five families, and we would like to express our sincerest words to the king regarding the candidates for the hand of the king!"

"Oh! What's Mrs. Egwene Oakheart's opinion?"

Alex Oakheart, one of the current Kingsguard, is the son of this lady. Her husband is dead, and she is now in charge of the Oakheart family.

She solemnly said: "Our five families jointly proposed that the king directly appoint Earl Matus Rowan as the Hand of the King!"

Robert had asked Grand Maester Pycelle, and he also knew that he could appoint him directly instead of going through the election of the imperial council, but he didn't have any good candidates.

Mace Tyrell is doing a lot of public relations in King's Landing in order to compete for the position of Prime Minister. There is no law to prohibit this and let him do it. Robert is ready, and the speech when he is appointed as Prime Minister is written by the maester. .

Now the four nobles of the River Bend do not support their lord duke, but support their father-in-law!Robert felt that there must be something wrong. He had been king for almost 20 years, so he didn't express his opinion directly. He sat on the sofa and said calmly, "The reason!"

The person involved, Matus Rowan, stood up, bowed first, and then spoke:

"Your Majesty, the fact that I am the Hand of the King is also the conclusion after our discussion. There is only one reason. The Tyrell family is too powerful!"

Robert didn't speak. He looked at the five of them and waved to him, signaling to continue.

Matus Rowan: "The mother of Duke Mace Tyrell is from the Redwyne family, his wife is from the Hightower family, and his daughter is married to the Duke of Storm's End. Even though the Reach was defeated in the Stepstones, The Redwin and Hightower fleets are still the most powerful in the south. The army has the Tyrell family, and the Hightower family is not weak, not to mention the Hightower family also has the school city and the Seven Gods. The influence of their three families has also extended to the Stone Step Islands. They are almost connected to the whole south!"

Matus Rowan emphasized his tone again: "Once the Dukes of the River Bend become the king's hand, their strength will grow again, and no one in the Seven Kingdoms can check and balance them."

Robert looked at the five of them. "Renly and Werther can't balance them?"

Matus Rowan: "The economies of the Stormlands and the Reach are closely linked, and the two parties are already married. If they give birth to a child in the future, Duke Renly may not dare to do anything, so he can only choose to be neutral.

The Duke of Witt's territory is now a desolate place, and it will take at least five years for the battleship and army to take shape.There are three families of important vassals in the Stone Step Islands, and they are located in military locations in the east and west continents. It is not easy to mobilize the army of Duke Witt, and dispatching the dragon alone will only make the king and his brothers bear the cruel infamy. . "

Robert broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the analysis. The three closely-connected families in the south of the Reach had become so powerful without realizing it. Wan:

"Then after you became king, didn't your power expand?"

The five noble lords looked at each other and said at the same time: "We are all descendants of Garth the Green Hand!They are also staunch supporters of the Baratheon family. "

Robert understood as soon as he heard it. There were many rumors that the people in the Reach had been dissatisfied with the rule of the Tyrells, and this time they really brought the matter before his eyes.

Matus Rowan: "The Rowan family of Golden Tree City is the descendant of "Golden Tree", the daughter of "Green Hand" Garth!These are two of my vassals, House Osgrey of Steadfast, and House Vibe of Coldmoat. "

He went on to introduce: "The Clenn family of Red Lake, the descendant of "Red Lake Rose", the daughter of "Green Hand" Gals!Sir Parmen Clane of their family is now serving as the personal guard of Duke Renly, and another female member of the family, Menedith Clane, has just entered the magic school and is Duke Renly's mage apprentice. "

And one last person introduced: "The Oakheart family of Ancient Oak, descendants of John "Oak" son of "Greenhand" Garth!Alys Oakheart of their family was one of His Majesty's Kingsguard. "

Matus Rowan and the other four heads stood up: "300 years ago, the Tyrell family was just the stewards of the gardener family! The descendants of us gardener family are not dead yet, and they betrayed the loyal ones without waiting for our support. The Gardeners open the gates of Highgarden, they are the Reavers!"

Mrs. Egwene Oakheart: "Our five families are loyal to the king, and we are loyal to the Baratheon family. We control the entire northern part of the Reach."

Robert thought again and again. The Reach has a powerful navy. The army can recruit up to 10 people, and they can all be equipped with well-equipped plate armor. In recent years, agriculture and economy have also developed greatly. The Tyrell family has already taken the lead unknowingly. In other areas, if there is no check and balance, it will really become uncontrollable.

And the Rowan family, no matter how developed it is, is just an earl, and there is a Tyrell family on it.

"That's it. I agreed to Matus Rowan's request to be the prime minister, and I made the formal appointment at yesterday's court meeting." Robert said to Werther.

Werther: "You know the situation at my place. If something goes wrong, I'll be the only one riding a dragon to support me in the past few years. That's fine. Let the River Bend balance the north and the south. Let him be the King's Hand, Duke of Mace. How is it with Renly?"

Being a duke has the idea of ​​a duke, just go around and win over allies to develop yourself.When a king has the idea of ​​a king, one side should not be too powerful, and a balance should be required.

Robert frowned. "Renly was a little sullen. I had a drink with him. Mace Tyrell hasn't spoken at the imperial council for two days."

Werther got up and left: "Okay, I have to go. I will return to Tyrosh tomorrow. It seems that you have made progress as a king, brother, and you are no longer a fool."

"A fool? Who said I was a fool!" Robert yelled across the room.

~~~

Early the next morning, Werther took Nymeria and Tyene, and the three of them left King's Landing and returned to the Stone Steps Islands on an Oda Viing.

The important officials of the Stone Step Islands, except Gunsor Hightoll who stayed behind and Ashara Dayne who went north, other important high-level officials were in King's Landing City, and they returned to the Stone Step Islands by boat with supplies.

On the back of the dragon, Werther took out a pen and paper to record the harvest: apprentices and books from the Alchemist Guild, a large amount of construction materials for building blacksmith shops and houses, food for residents, looking at empty wooden barrels, hundreds of criminals and more than 3000 people. A new civilian immigrant, breeding pigs and sheep and so on.

Regardless of the other islands of Witt, the current population of Tylosi is more than 1 people in the first group of immigrants after the war

The newly ordered warships are still in the shipyard in King's Landing, and the existing several hundred navy members are undergoing training in the Royal Fleet. After the warships are completed, the navy commander Aureon Velaryon will lead the navy back to the voyage.

"I'm out of money again!" Werther yelled.

Nymeria: "Didn't you say you have investment properties in Braavos?"

"Yes! After I send you back, I will go to Neptune to ask for it!"

Nymeria: "Who is the current Aquaman?"

Witte: "It seems to be called Tormo Frega or something, the new Aquaman who was elected after we left."

~~~

In the afternoon of the same day, Robert once again convened the nobles of the valley to discuss the issue of heirs in the meeting room of the Prime Minister's Tower. All the members of the imperial council attended, except Werther. This was also the first major matter that Matus Rowan had to deal with after becoming Prime Minister.

Robert: "Yesterday, Duke Werther brought back the genealogy of the Arryn family. I have read it. My adoptive father, Jon Arryn, is blonde!" Coax~~~

The valley nobles below exploded.

Both Edmure Tully and Caitlin Tully were pale. Now Lysa Tully may be found guilty, because the family is powerful, beheading is not enough, and going to church for the rest of her life as the Silent Sisters will be her end. But the boy Robert Arryn was doomed.

"Quiet!" shouted Matus Rowan.

"Your Majesty! Can I show you the genealogy?" a valley nobleman called out.

"exactly!"

"We also need to confirm."

Robert sent two of the Kingsguard to fetch the book from Maegor's Tower, and then he called out to the nobles of the Vale, "Lysa Tully has borne a bastard son, and her son is disqualified from being the Duke of the Vale."

Caitlin Tully quickly answered, "Your Majesty, let's discuss the genealogy first after showing it."

Robert ignored it, leaned back in his chair, picked up his glass and drank slowly.

Two of the Kingsguard came hurrying up with a book in their hands, held the genealogy in front of Robert's face, and whispered to him.Robert was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly opened the genealogy, Robert's hands began to tremble.

The cover of the genealogy of the Ayrin family is made of solid cowhide, and the inside pages are made of parchment. It has been placed on the table in the living room of Maegor House yesterday. Now one page of Jon Arryn has been wet with wine, and the words and patterns There are traces of wiping, all of which can't be seen clearly!

Robert rose angrily. "Barristan! Lock down the Red Keep! Take all the servants to the dungeon! Torture!"

Barristan left one of the Kingsguard behind and rushed out of the chamber with his soldiers.

Prime Minister Matus Rowan left his seat and ran over holding the pages of the book, frowning: "How could this be?"

The nobles of the valley stood up when they saw the king's anger, and those in the front row saw the blurred genealogy.The buzzing sound sounded again, some people were very happy, some people began to worry, now no one can leave.

Not long after, Barristan came back with a small cloth bag covered with dried blood, and dumped the contents of the bag on the ground in front of the king, four human fingers of different sizes.

Robert glanced at his finger and ignored it. He slapped the table and asked directly, "Did you find out?"

Barristan: "Maegor House's maid did it, she said someone brought her this sack last night, it was the fingers of her father, mother and two brothers, and the man threatened to kill her family at any time , as long as she erases the information on the family tree, her family will be spared."

Robert was furious, if he could bribe the maid beside him, that would be fine: "Who is it?"

Barristan: "The maid said that the other party covered his face, so he could only recognize it as a man."

Robert looked at Varys the octopus spider. Varys also had a surprised expression on his face now, and then turned to look at the nobles of the valley present. Everyone was suspicious!
