Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 273 Inertia and Change

After Diltos returned to the dragon egg form, Linde left the dragon's nest with Diltos in his arms, and took Diltos to the Essos continent according to the original plan.

Summer Hall is not a good place for raising dragons. There are too many eyes and ears here, and Deltos is still a young dragon and cannot control the power of the ancient dragon king on his body. Activities in places with people will cause some commotion and chaos, causing some unnecessary trouble.

On the other hand, the continent of Essos is quite empty. Next to Lorne is the Golden Fields, and beyond that is the Dothraki Sea, which is completely enough for Deltos to move around freely.

Including Jon, the people in the castle did not know that the dragon egg had actually hatched. They just thought that Lind had failed to conceive the dragon egg just now, so they decided to take the dragon egg to Na Sa to continue breeding it. Only Glory knew about the dragon egg. A terrible guy hatched from the egg.

However, the sudden movement of dragon eggs that had been silent for ten years still attracted the attention of many people. After all, the fact that dozens of long-winged dragon cubs fell to death cannot be concealed at all, as long as someone with a little ability can Everyone can find out what happened in the castle on the top of the mountain.

Soon the relevant intelligence information was passed to their superiors in various ways by the spies lurking in Redemption Town.

It's just that these spies didn't know that their every move was watched by the blood-armored people. If Linde hadn't told him not to stop the transmission of these confusing messages, these spies would have been beaten by the blood-armored people when they were inquiring about the information. It was taken.

After receiving the news, all parties did not pay much attention to the news, because in their opinion, Linde already owned a sea dragon, and that sea dragon was still a huge adult dragon, so he had another young one in his hands. Dragons aren't a big deal either.

Only some people with Targaryen blood had some thoughts, but these thoughts were suppressed as soon as they came up, because there have been many people who coveted the dragon eggs in Linde's hands over the years, and in the end, none of them were able to successfully steal them. They found the dragon egg and got themselves involved in it, so they only dared to think about it but didn't dare to actually take action.

And for some people, Lind's departure from the continent of Westeros is far more worthy of their attention than the abnormal movement of the dragon egg, especially when they find out that Lind will live on Na Sa this time. After a while, I felt even more happy.

Because in the past few years, Linde has been like a big mountain, suffocating the entire powerful class of the Seven Kingdoms. When they make all decisions, they will involuntarily consider how Summer Hall will react to this decision. , will Linde intervene? Now that Linde has left, they feel a lot more relaxed from the inside out. Some thoughts that were suppressed because of Linde have also become more active, and some power struggles and conspiracies have become more active. In particular, King's Landing, the center of the Seven Kingdoms, has become a whirlpool in these power struggles.

Lind, who was far away from the disputes in Westeros, sailed on the water for almost a month before arriving at Na Sa. He spent the next six months on Na Sa.

During the past six months, he had been accompanying his wife and children. Nymeria gave birth on the day he came to Na-Sa. They were twins just like last time. The boy was named Alexander, and the girl was named Alexander. Named Elizabeth.

In the past six months, various news has come from Westeros.

For example, Waymar Royce still died at the hands of the White Walkers. Although the Rangers of the Night's Watch expanded dozens of times, and the ranger team led by Waymar included forty or fifty people, they still faced the White Walkers' attack. Children are just as fragile.

However, what has changed is that the Night's Watch takes this matter very seriously. The Bear Lord Geo Mormont immediately notified the Iron Throne of the matter and sent a letter to the Dukes and Guardians of the Seven Kingdoms. Moreover, he also sent someone to Na Sa Star to inform Linde in person.

It's no wonder that Mr. Xiong is so nervous, because the place where Weimar was attacked is too close to the Great Wall. It only takes one day to reach the Great Wall. The White Walkers have gone south to such an extent that he can't help but doubt that they will be there in a few days. He will see an army of corpses appear in front of him.

When Linder asked the night watchmen who came to Na Sa to return, they brought a letter to Mr. Xiong. The content was very simple, which was to unite the wild people outside the Great Wall.

In fact, this proposal was already mentioned to Mr. Xiong when Linde ended his trip beyond the Great Wall. He believed that in the face of the White Walkers, a formidable enemy of all life, the Night's Watch and the tribe of wildlings beyond the Great Wall should have an easing relationship and cooperate to fight against the enemy. possibility.

However, he obviously underestimated the thousands-year-old hatred between the Wilders Beyond the Wall and the Night's Watch. After so many years, the relationship between the Night's Watch and the Wilders beyond the Wall has not improved. On the contrary, because the strength of the Night's Watch has increased, it has begun to exert influence on the settlements of the Savage Tribes beyond the Wall. The two have been encircled and suppressed time after time, and the hatred has deepened. There is basically no possibility of cooperation between the two.

Like in the previous life episodes, Jon putting the wildlings south of the Great Wall will never happen, because the main reason why Jon can convince the Night's Watch to put the wildlings south of the Great Wall is because the number of Night's Watch is too small. There are less than a thousand people. They need the wild people outside the wall to garrison the Great Wall to defend against the White Walkers.

However, now with the support of various territories for the Night's Watch, especially when Willas also joins the Night's Watch, the support for the Night's Watch in the Reach has strengthened several times, and the Night's Watch has gradually returned to the strong period in history. The desperate situation All the garrison castles on the Great Wall have been activated, and they can defend the Great Wall without the help of the wild people outside the Great Wall, so their cooperation with the wild people outside the Great Wall is basically zero.

Lind also knew this, but he still hoped that the Night's Watch could let the wildlings cross the Great Wall, because in his opinion, even if they could not cooperate, they should not be allowed to stay north of the Great Wall and be absorbed by the White Walkers, and Placing the wild people outside the wall in the grant land south of the Great Wall can also build a new line of defense to prevent any accidents from happening to the Great Wall. They can also use the wild people outside the wall to act as white ghosts heading south for a while.

However, Linde could guess from the attitude of the departing Night Watch officer that Mr. Xiong's proposal would have no effect.

Therefore, after the Night Watch messenger left, he sent an order to Daisy on Bear Island and the three sea monsters resident in the Iron Islands, asking them to prepare their ships, pay attention to the movements outside the Great Wall, and be ready to escape to the The wildlings of the Frozen Harbor were transported to Bear Island, the Iron Islands, and the Marshlands.

In addition, he also sent a letter to the lord of the marshland, Howland Reed, asking him to prepare the marshland and be ready to receive refugees from beyond the wall.

Linde has always been connected with the swamp. At first, it was just to facilitate contact with the children of the forest living in the great swamp. Later, he started a swamp business with the swamp, digging a large amount of swamp from the swamp as farmland fertilizer. Trade exchanges have also made the relationship between the two parties closer.

Later, Linde and Holland discussed slightly transforming the swamp and establishing a temporary settlement on the coast. If the Iron Islands and Bear Island could not accommodate so many wild people outside the Great Wall, the wild people outside the Great Wall could be sent to live in the temporary settlement. After a while, he sent people to pull people to Shengxia Hall one after another.

Now both Summer Hall and the Kingdom of Lorne need a large number of people, and although the wild people outside the wall are wild and untamed, it is undeniable that they are good laborers whether they are men, women, or children. As for these wild people outside the wall, Linde is not worried at all about whether they will continue to live the same life as they did in the past. Once they come here, many things will not be decided by them. What's more, Daisy and Asha will screen these people during the Frozen Port. A batch of people will be sent over in the end only those who are easy to accept the new system.

Apart from matters beyond the Great Wall and the Great Wall, Linde was most concerned about what was going on in King's Landing.

The tourney on Joffrey's twelfth name day was held as scheduled. In the tourney, the perfect knight Brienne defeated Loras Tyrell, the knight of flowers, in the final and became the champion of the lance competition. After the match, Brienne Accepted Lord Renly's invitation and became his captain of the bodyguard.

After the tourney, Prime Minister Jon Arryn suddenly had a big quarrel with King Robert for some unknown reason. It was said that it was about Joffrey's marriage.

Because Robert suddenly regretted the engagement between Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell, he wanted to cancel the engagement and let Joffrey marry Eddard Stark's eldest daughter Sansa, but Jon Arryn firmly opposed it. , believing that doing so would be a great insult to the Guardians of the South and would lead to a complete break between the South and the Iron Throne.

The two sides quarreled very fiercely. Robert accused Jon Arryn of wanting to marry his son to Sansa. When the quarrel became fierce, Robert drew his sword.

In the end, the quarrel calmed down under Barristan's persuasion. It was unknown that Jon Arryn was too excited when making the noise, which caused some hidden diseases to surface. He fell to the ground after returning to the Prime Minister's Tower. He was in a coma, completely lost consciousness, and it looked like he was going to die.

That night, Lysa Tully took his son and left the Red Keep, returned to Seagull Town by boat, and some not-so-good rumors began to appear in King's Landing.

For example, the reason why Robert wanted to cancel the engagement between Joffrey and Margaery was because he fell in love with Margaery and wanted to take Margaery as his mistress.

For another example, Jon was not ill at all, but was poisoned, and the poisoner was in the Red Keep.

All kinds of rumors and rumors are flying all over the sky, making it difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

All the rumors and rumors were sent to Linde along with the information about King's Landing. After reading it, Linde couldn't help but sigh that the inertia of history is so strong that it cannot be affected by a small change.

The intelligence also mentioned that Robert had decided to go to Winterfell to invite Eddard Stark to become Hand of the King at the Royal Council. This incident made Stanlis, who had always coveted the position of Prime Minister of the Kingdom, extremely angry. I left King's Landing that night and returned to Dragonstone.

Judging from the time when the information was sent, Jon Arryn should have been dead and Robert should have been on his way to Winterfell when Lind received the information.

In addition, there is another news that also makes Lind particularly concerned. The Doomsday Sect has appeared in King's Landing and has had close contact with Littlefinger Petyr Baelish.

The great plague a few years ago caused the Church of the Seven Gods to gain a great reputation in the Seven Kingdoms. At the same time, some small beliefs appeared in the name of disaster, and doomsday belief was one of them.

When Linde first heard about the doomsday belief, he didn't take it seriously because he regarded this belief as a mutated belief in the god of natural disaster.

Because Lind requested that the faith of the God of Scourge did not use the Great Plague to preach in the continent of Westeros, but only spread the faith in the continent of Essos, so there is a lack of a faith with disaster as the core in the continent of Westeros. Belief, this is why the belief in doomsday is spread among the people of the Seven Kingdoms.

Because of the fear of plague, doomsday beliefs spread quickly. In a short period of time, they have spread to the lower levels of society in the Seven Kingdoms, and have begun to spread to the upper levels. The Church of the Seven Gods has also discovered this, and feels that this belief is related to the natural disasters. God's beliefs are somewhat similar, so he sent someone to ask Linde the reason.

At this time, Linde discovered the anomalies of doomsday belief, and joined forces with the Church of the Seven Gods to investigate the missionaries of doomsday beliefs. It turned out that all the missionaries were extremely fanatical doomsday believers who would commit suicide once caught.

However, even so, Linde's people still caught a few people alive and gave them veritaserum. They asked some secrets about doomsday beliefs from the mouths of these people.

These missionaries were just ordinary fishermen and sailors. When they encountered a pirate attack, they were caught by the pirates and sent to a cave on an island. Then in the cave, they saw the doomsday miracles and were instantly inspired. and revelation, becoming a doomsday believer.

However, when they were specifically asked about the doomsday miracles they had seen, it was as if a restriction on them had been triggered. They all went crazy and spoke nonsense that they could not understand at all.

After the joint raids by the Church of the Seven Gods and Linde, the doomsday believers suddenly seemed to have disappeared and were all hidden. Even the Church of the Seven Gods could not find any trace of their existence.

The Church of the Seven Gods soon lost interest in this matter, and just asked the people of the Tribunal to look for wizards and others while also paying attention to the traces of doomsday believers. However, Linde was extremely concerned about this matter, not only letting Bahrain He and Rosso formed a special department to track down doomsday believers, and allocated a large sum of money to be responsible for this matter.

However, there has been no new news. Unexpectedly, doomsday believers would appear in King's Landing at such a delicate time.

The reason why Lind is so concerned about doomsday believers is because when he knew that those doomsday preachers were kidnapped by pirates and sent to a cave on a cold island, he felt something was wrong. It might be related to the Iron Islands, and The interrogation materials of the doomsday preachers were sent to the Iron Islands, and Asha was asked to see if any of the people who kidnapped these doomsday preachers were from the Iron Islands. As a result, one of Asha's men actually came from the doomsday preachers. Among the plunderers described by the author, a man he knew was found. He was a boatswain on a longship of the Iron Fleet. He had defected from the Iron Islands with Victarion and followed Euron.

It is precisely because of this that Linde believes that this doomsday belief is the work of Euron behind it.

Therefore, when Lind received the information about the appearance of Doomsday Believers in King's Landing City, he was ready to send the information immediately, asking the people in King's Landing to control the Doomsday Believers first and wait for him to go back and interrogate them personally.

However, before his order was sent out, he received a new piece of information. This piece of information was sent directly from King's Landing without being transferred to the Summer Hall. It contained only one piece of information, that is, the Horn of Winter was lost.
