Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

When Tytos Blackwood heard this, he stood beside the dead son's body and said to Edmure, "My lord! My son was killed in the tent area outside Riverrun today. He has a grudge against him. Only the Bracken family, they must be the ones who did it, please ask the Duke to take the two sons of the Bracken family into the dungeon and interrogate them strictly!"

"You old dog! Five of your sons beat my nephew yesterday, and one of them died today. This is a curse from the seven gods who violated the knight's oath. Die well! Your other sons will soon be too!"

The illegitimate son and nephew had already told him that neither of them killed anyone. As soon as this guy came, he asked the Duke to take his son into the dungeon.

"Jenos! You are too old. Before my son dies, I will definitely hold you back!" The two quarreled again. Fortunately, everyone put their weapons outside the room when they entered the hall, otherwise they would face each other with swords scene.

Edmure Tully finally realized what he was going to do: "Lord Tytos, I feel the same grief over the death of your son! Lord Janos, I will investigate whether your son is the murderer. Uncle, Luo When will Bo come back?"

Blackfish Brynden took out his pocket watch to check the time: "The knight has been out for an hour, it should be here soon."

Edmure nodded and looked at the two people off the field: "You two, don't be impatient. I have invited my nephew, Robb Stark, the heir to the Duke of Winterfell in the north, to assist in the investigation. Everyone Know that he is a magician, and the best at investigating murders."

"What about the others?" Tytos Blackwood was impatient to convict the Brackens.

"I believe in the justice of the magician, and I am willing to wait for him." Janos Bracken glanced at his nemesis, walked to his nephew and ignored him.

"Ser Robb Stark!" The guards outside the hall pushed open the door.

Many of the nobles had seen him at previous banquets, and only those in the West were unfamiliar with Robb.

Jaime Lannister saw that Robb was tall and resolute, his black mail armor was supported by his strong muscles, his walking was steady, and his hands had thick calluses from long-term martial arts practice. Carries two giant swords and recently dated a girl.

James thought this was a good opponent, a handsome young man.It's a pity that he is a magician who can't beat him. He thinks highly of Robb, so he nodded unconsciously.

When Robb walked to the middle of the hall, another girl in a white dress walked in through the gate. Saran Farman ran along the edge of the hall and sat down beside Earl Farman.

When James saw the girl, he looked at Robb again. He was a big, stupid man who was too poor to afford plate armor. He walked like someone owed him money. His hands were too long and his palms were too rough. The sword is handsome, whether it can be swung in a fight is a problem, and he has an arrogant face that needs to be beaten, he is just a good-for-nothing bastard!

Tywin's eyes rolled back and forth between Robb and Saran Farman, still expressionless.

"Hello, Duke Edmure, Duke Tywin, and Duke Dennis, please forgive me for being late, because after I received the news, I went to the scene of the crime before coming here."

Edmure leaned forward: "What did you find?"

Robb: "There are too many people there, and no one has blocked it. It has been trampled by the people."

Edmure: "This..."

Robb: "But I found a witness who saw the wounded man, guard, bring him in."

A farmer's person was led into the hall, and the farmer looked nervous when he saw the hall was full of nobles.

"He is a farmer nearby. He saw the wounded when he went to the city to sell vegetables. Don't be afraid. There are three dukes here this time. Tell me what you saw again." Robb walked to the farmer.

"I...I saw a wounded man. He clutched his lower back, and his lower back was bleeding continuously. He fell on the road after walking for a while." The farmer was very nervous, and roughly explained the situation.

Robb lifted the white cloth from the body and asked the farmer, "Come and see, is it him?"

The farmer recognized him: "It's him. Although he changed clothes, I still have a deep impression of his high nose bridge. It's him."

Robb asked again, "Was anyone chasing him?"

The farmer thought for a while: "There were a lot of people on the road at that time, and I didn't see anyone chasing him. After he fell to the ground alone, someone reported it to the patrolling guards in Riverrun, and then a large group of nobles surrounded the place."

"Stabbed, and no one was chasing him, you must have done it!" roared Tytos Blackwood.

"Stop spitting, if we did it, we'd beheading him on the spot instead of letting him go!" Janos Bray stared louder than him. .

"Yeah, if he seeks revenge, he won't be let go. He will definitely be killed on the spot." The nobles were also discussing.

"Quiet!"

"Send this farmer out." After Robb finished, he went to the corpse and lifted the white cloth over the corpse's legs, and found that he had changed his clothes and could not see the wound.

"Lord Tytos Blackwood, may I turn over your son's body to see the wound?"

"Yes." Hearing Robb's question, Tytos hastily agreed. Today, he was dazzled by anger, and he didn't have time to check his son's wounds, and he didn't know how his son died.

Robb turned the body sideways and lifted off the clothes. There was a half-finger-long wound on the waist of the body. Robb gently stroked the wound with his magic power, and the cold air overflowed his palm.

It didn't take long for Robb to stop his magic, and slowly pulled out a white ice crystal from the wound. The ice crystal was in the shape of a shovel, or called a crescent moon. Robb held the tail of the ice crystal and showed it to everyone. Many nobles present recognized this thing.

"This is a hunting arrow!"

"No, the arrowhead of the bow is wider, it's a crossbow!"

"Yes! The hunting arrows of the crossbow bolts."

Robb turned over the body again. When he was in the magic school, Qyburn taught him a lot about the body. After careful inspection, he died of excessive blood loss.

"Your son died from a hunting crossbow arrow. The arrow must have been disturbed by something. When it flew to him, its power was already very small, so the wound was not very deep. After your son's lower back was injured, he may not know what it was It got stuck in him, and he pulled out the arrowhead, and he bled to death." Robb put the ice arrowhead in Lord Tytos Blackwood's hand.

James Lannister's attention was all on his daughter Saran Farman. Seeing her daughter's obsessive eyes, he wanted to hang Robb up and beat him up.

Lord Tytos Blackwood caressed the ice crystal arrow, sliding his finger at the shovel-shaped gap in the arrow: "Thank you, Sir Robb, for finding out the cause of my son's death. Then it must have been done by the Bracken family! They It's revenge!"

Edmure sat on the chair and didn't know what to say. Blackfish Brynden interjected: "You two earls, it would be very troublesome if it's bows and arrows. Crossbows are controlled items everywhere, and they are usually stored in the armory. Only war Only then will it be taken out.”

Robb went on to say: "The knights of the Seven Kingdoms, no matter whether they are noble or not, have practiced bows and arrows since childhood, and crossbows will only be issued to recruits during wartime."

"Yeah, I haven't seen anyone hunting with a crossbow, shame on me!"

"Usually only cowards and women know how to use crossbows."

The nobles agreed one after another, no one would bring a crossbow to a martial arts tournament, let alone hunt with a crossbow and a shovel arrow.

Hearing this, Edmure Tully understood something: "My lords, crossbows are controlled products everywhere, and the sale and transportation will be strictly checked. I can guarantee that every crossbow in Riverrun is in the armory. Then let's send someone to search the guest room where the Bracken family lived, and see if there is a hidden crossbow, so we can know if they are the murderers."

"Search! They must have done it!"

"If you don't find it! I want you to kneel in front of me and apologize! And lick my boots clean!"

The two old men quarreled again.

Seeing that Bracken's house had no objection, Edmure sent his men to search.

Robb: "Duke Edmure, please wait a moment. Now Duke Tywin and Duke Dennis are here as witnesses. During the search, you can also ask the two dukes to send someone to witness together."

"Haha, if Sir Robb hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot that you are good at framing things!" Earl Janos Bracken gave Robb a grateful look, and mocked his deadly enemy.

"Our Blackwood family will not spare an enemy, nor will we wrong a good person!"

Tywin nodded, and Dennis confirmed in response, and each sent a knight to search together.

Tywin didn't speak after sitting in his seat. He could see the behavior and expressions of everyone present. He had paid attention to the situation of the two feuding families before, but now he focused on Robb Stark. He began to analyze the history in his heart. Various members of the Tucker family.

There was nothing more to do with Robb, and Edmure gave his nephew a grateful look.Robb nodded coolly, walked back to his seat to rest, and continued flirting with Saran Farman.

Not long after, the search team returned to the hall, holding a crossbow in their hands: "This was found in Harry Hewen's guest room."

Coax~~~ The nobles are shocked, it really was done by the Bracken family!

Harry Rivers is the illegitimate son of Jonos Bracken, Earl of Stonehedge City. He is about the same age as the Earl's nephew, Hendry Bracken, and has a good relationship.

"The murderer is your bastard son! He heard my brother was beaten by my son, and he killed my son with a crossbow bolt!" growled Tytos Blackwood, and his four sons also glared at the Brackens.

Harry Hewen looked at the crossbow and explained: "This is a crossbow I made myself. I have never brought it out of the bedroom. If I want to kill, I will only use my sword. Either he dies or I die. We will never let the enemy escape."

"Dare to be an irresponsible coward! What's the use of saying so much! Lord Edmure, now that the evidence is here, speak up." Tytos Blackwood shouted at Edmure.

"If I killed the person, I would defeat him in front of everyone! What's more, the death of a son of the Blackwood family, why dare not admit it! This is an extremely honorable thing in Shili City! But listen carefully, I said I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him!" Harry River also yelled loudly.

"Lord Edmure, the facts are clear, are you still not making a decision?" Tytos Blackwood called out to Edmure again.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Harry Hewen turned to look at his brother and father: "Please believe me, I have always restrained myself with the honor of a knight, I would admit that I killed him, but I did not kill him. "

Edmure thought that the evidence was overwhelming and that he was another illegitimate child, so he immediately made a verdict in order to appease the anger of both parties: "Harry Rivers, murdered Horst, the third son of the Blackwood family..."

At this time, no one has pleaded guilty except his son. Thinking of his son's past behavior, Earl Janos Bracken chose to believe his son: "Wait a minute, Lord Edmure, it's too ridiculous to convict my son with just a crossbow. !"

Hendry Bracken also shouted: "You can't be convicted with a crossbow, Your Excellency, it's better to investigate again."

I was about to pronounce the sentence just now, did I change my mind again?Edmure opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Harry Rivers Holds Father and Brothers Back: "I Choose Trial by Combat!"

The hall became noisy again.

Choosing a trial by combat represents the will of the Seven Gods, and it can be stopped, but the nobles will basically not do so. Edmure also followed his words: "Agreed, both of you will fight by yourself or find a proxy knight?"

"I'm coming, I'm going to kill the murderer myself to avenge my brother!" Lucas Blackwood, the second of the five sons, took the initiative to stand up, and he had the best relationship with the dead third brother.

Harry Rivers is a young blond boy with ordinary martial arts skills. Hendry Bracken next to him has been giving him hints, and he understands: "I choose to act as a knight!"

At this time Robb Stark got up and walked into the hall: "I am willing to act as an agent for Harry River."

The Bracken family always felt that Robb Stark was favoring the Blackwood family. Seeing him acting as an agent of their own side, they understood that Robb was only stating what happened, and he himself had not drawn any conclusions. Feel Harry Rivers wronged.

"Rob Stark can't do it! The king has deprived magicians and knights of the right to confront each other in the tournament, so magicians are not qualified to act as agents of the tournament trial!" Tywin finally said the first sentence of the day.

"right!"

"Ser Robb, come back and sit down."

Hendry Bracken looked at Robb: "Thank you very much, Sir Robb. After all, there are few males in our family, so I will take care of the brothers."

Robb nodded and returned to his seat.

Trial by combat, Hendry Bracken versus Lucas Blackwood, the tables and chairs in the center of the hall were removed, the guards of Tully's house put armor on the two and asked them to choose weapons, Hendry used the It was a two-handed sword, and Lucas took a flail and a shield.

Trials by combat can be ordered to the end, but in most cases, the plaintiff and the defendant have great hatred, and basically end with the death of one party.

The long sword and the flail both wanted the other's life, and the two first attacked tentatively.Lucas relied on his own shield, raised the shield to protect his body, and slammed into Hendry.

Hendry kept watching the opponent through the long sword held in both hands. Seeing that Duofang rushed over and dodged sideways, the long sword lifted the opponent's arm upwards.

boom!The sword met the flail.The martial arts of the two have their own strengths, and the overall level is almost the same.

One side focuses on finding the opponent's weak point to stab, while the other side swings the iron chain and spherical spikes, each blow is powerful and heavy.

After a few strokes, both sides were injured, and they still fought with all their strength. Which side would die if they slack off a bit. Hendry's left hand was hit by a spherical spike, and he could only hold the sword with one hand while his arm was hanging. Lucas His shield also fell to the ground.

"Die!" Hendry swung the flail, and Hendry found a gap, and thrust his sword straight through the gap in the armor, piercing Lucas' throat.

The throat was pierced vertically, and the bleeding was not too serious. Lucas was still very conscious at this time. Before the opponent turned the blade to expand the wound, he held the sword tightly with one hand in advance, and waved the flail at the opponent with the other hand. Smash on the helmet.But as the blade turned, Lucas gradually became unable to swing the flail and fell to the ground.

"I won!" Hendry Bracken raised his sword.

Edmure: "I declare that Harry Rivers is innocent!"

Hendry Bracken took off his helmet when he heard it, smiled at his father and his brother, and fell straight backwards, his skull smashed.

Chapter 190 VII Political Marriage

Lord Tytos Blackwood of Raventree City had his third son die first, and then his second son died. The other party was innocent after the death of the two sons!He looked up at Edmure Tully who was sitting on the main seat with a smile on his face as if he was asking for credit, and he hated this new Duke of Hejian who was ignorant and indecisive even more in his heart.

"Pack up your brother's body and tell the knights of House Blackwood that we're going back to Raventree City now!" Tytos turned and left.

"Count Tylos, don't you want to stay and watch the finals of the tournament?" Edmure wanted to stop him, but the whole hall heard his voice, but the other party pretended not to hear it, and walked away without looking back. Several knights came to pack up the remains and carried them out.

Duke Denis Arryn saw Edmure smiling, and then exchanged a glance with Tywin, both of them showed dissatisfaction with Edmure.

On the other side, the Earl of Hendry Bracken of Stone Ledge City was not feeling well. Although Harry Hewen was proved innocent by means of a trial by combat, a nephew and heir also died. Not wanting to run the city, he said goodbye to the three dukes and other nobles, and the group set off for home.

The trial meeting also ended hastily. The nobles of the Riverlands knew about Edmure before. He is a stingy son who is proficient in eating, drinking, playing and gambling. I hope that after he inherits the duke, there will be changes. Today is the first time to mediate among the nobles. Everyone has seen the dispute between them, and he cannot be counted on for at least ten years.

There is still some time before the dinner. After the meeting, everyone will find their own activities.Lord Farman of Fairy Isle came to Tywin Lannister's guest room.

"Duke Tywin, I have something to ask about my daughter Saran Farman."

With a look from Tywin, Ser Amory Lodge, the personal guard, understood, went out to close the door and guarded the door.

The room is very spacious, with a screen separating the bed from the reception area, where wine racks, sofas, tables and chairs are all available.

James was also in the guest room, and he poured a glass of wine for Earl Farman: "What's the matter with my daughter?"

Farman took the wine glass: "Duke Tywin, Ser James, after today's meeting, Old Walder Frey sent someone to find me, and I went to meet him in his guest room."

Both Tywin and James had a bad feeling.

Farman went on to say, "Old Frey proposed that his great-grandson, Walder Frey, fourth in line of succession, known as 'Black Wald,' would marry Saran Farman."

"Don't tell me you agreed!" James looked very bad.

Farman: "How could I agree? I originally rejected Old Frey on the grounds that my daughter was underage, but he insisted and offered an equal price. If I married my daughter to his great-grandson, he would give it to me." My daughter's weight in silver."

James became emotional. "He wants to buy my daughter? The Lannisters are short of his money? Let him dream!"

"Jaime! Quiet!" Tywin stopped him, motioning Farman to continue talking.

Farman: "Afterwards, I continued to reject him on the excuse that my daughter was young, but Old Frey said that he had many sons, and he could find one who was as old as Saran or younger than his daughter. There's no reason to let me go."
