Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

After clearing out the last mountain village around Tengshi Town, Linde returned to Tengshi Town to rest and wait a few days before heading to the area east of Rose Avenue to the Lamboon River, trying to spend a few months , clear out all the bandits and mountain tribes wandering in this area.

Now that the savage tribes, mountain villagers and bandits in the territory of Tengshi Town have been completely cleaned up, as long as the area east of Rose Avenue is cleaned up, the task of clearing out the bandits in the area north of Kuqiao will be considered over.

"Who is she?" In the stable of the fortress, Lind took off the saddle from his horse Ebon Blade, picked up the brush and was about to brush Ebon Blade's hair when he saw Nymeria coming out of the door with a child. Walked in outside.

"Her name is Brienne, and she is the daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth of Tarth Island." Nymeria reached out and patted the timid little girl on the back, asking her to stand beside her.

Upon hearing Nymeria's introduction, Linde couldn't help but be stunned and looked down at the little girl in front of him.

In his previous life, when Lind was reading books and TV series, he loved many characters in the world of ice and fire, such as the little devil Tyrion, Young Wolf Lord Robb, Fire Kiss Ygritte, etc., but he was very fond of them. It is rare to completely like a character, because each character has more or less characteristics that he does not agree with. There are only two characters that he completely likes without any objection. One is the melancholy Eddie of the Night Watch. The other one is Brienne the Beauty.

He likes melancholy Eddie because Eddie is the only joy in the cruel and frozen land of the north. His jokes make the north no longer so cold.

As for the beauty Brienne, in an era when etiquette was broken and everyone was pursuing the lower limit, she was the only one who still persisted and performed the spirit of chivalry. The light she exuded was enough to illuminate people's hearts.

Now that this character that he liked very much appeared in front of him, Linde couldn't help but feel emotional.

Lind walked up to Brienne, knelt down, and took a serious look at the little girl who was timid but trying to stay calm.

The current Brienne is not as miserable as written in the book. Although her facial features look a bit masculine, they do not look ugly. They can only be said to have the appearance of an ordinary woman. This may be because the bridge of her nose has not been modified yet. It was because her teeth were still straight after being interrupted, and her blue eyes were as pure and straightforward as the book said, without any impurities visible.

"I am Lynd Terra, nice to meet you, Brienne of Tarth." Lynd stretched out his hand to Brienne and said.

Perhaps sensing Lind's kindness, Brienne shook Lind's hand and said, "Hello! Lord Lind, I am Brienne Tarth from Tarth Island."

Lind had a smile on his face, then stood up and asked Nymeria: "Why is she here?"

Nymeria explained: "The Earl of Tarth has a very good relationship with my mother, and he has helped me before. This time he sent Brienne here because he wanted Brienne to become my squire and accept me. teach."

"This is a good thing." Linde nodded.

Nymeria shook her head and said: "However, I can't let Brienne become my squire, so I brought her to you and asked you to accept her and become your squire."

Lin De was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Why don't you personally..."

"You forgot, I am not a knight." Nymeria shook her head, looked at Brienne beside her, and said, "She wants to become a knight, which I can't give her."

Linde showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face and said: "She is a girl. It is not suitable for her to be my attendant. You can be responsible for teaching her. When you think it is suitable, I will canonize her as a knight. That’s it.”

Before Nymeria could speak, Brienne stood up, plucked up the courage, and said loudly: "Master Goodwin said that you can only become a true knight by following a true knight. Lord Lind, you are the stars. The chosen warrior recognized by the temple, the model of knight in this world, I want to follow you and learn to become a true knight.”

Seeing Brienne like this, Nymeria couldn't help but show an appreciative smile, and then said to Lind: "Lord Chosen One, what do you think?"

Lind was silent for a moment, then handed the brush in his hand to Brienne and said, "As long as you can brush the black blade clean today, I will accept you as a squire."

Brienne's eyes lit up when she heard Lind's words, and she quickly took the brush in her hand. Nymeria frowned, held down Brienne who wanted to get closer to the Black Blade, and said worriedly: "It's too dangerous to let her get close to Ebon Blade. Ebon Blade's violent personality may hurt Brienne."

Although Heifeng is smaller than Moonlight, his character is much more violent than Moonlight. Now Moonlight has allowed the groom to wash his fur, but Heifeng does not allow anyone other than Linde to touch him. Once outsiders get too close, they will kick and bite, and several grooms have been injured as a result.

"Don't worry, I'll be watching over you," Lind comforted Brienne, then pointed to the beams of the stable and said, "Besides, there is Glory here to watch without me, so you don't have to worry."

I saw that the huge glory was lying on the beam and wagging its tail leisurely at the moment. Its body perfectly blended into the shadow of the beam. Even if you look up, you need to observe very carefully to see any clues. .

As Glory gains control over its body, some of its abilities have become more powerful, especially its ability to blend into the shadows. As long as it blends into the shadows, no one will be able to walk past it. When you notice it, it's as if its presence disappears at that moment.

After being reminded by Linde, Nymeria carefully identified it for a long time, but could not find where Glory was on the beam. But since Linde said that Glory was there, she tentatively believed it, so she removed her hand from the cloth. Renee relaxed.

Brienne couldn't wait to get closer to Ebon Front, but found that Ebon Front was too tall. Even though she was much taller than the average teenage child, she was still too short in front of Ebon Front's tall body, so she After searching inside the stable, he found a few horse stools and moved them to Hei Feng's side. After stacking them up to reach a sufficient height, he stood on the horse stools and wanted to brush Hei Feng's fur.

When Hei Feng saw a little one trying to touch him, he immediately became angry. He took a step forward and bumped into the little one with his body, knocking her directly to the ground.

Seeing Brienne's embarrassed look, Nymeria couldn't help but smile.

Brienne was not discouraged, but continued to get up, picked up the horse stool, stacked it together again, and prepared to brush Ebon Blade again, and Ebon Blade knocked Brienne down again.

In this way, one person and one horse performed the drama of falling and standing up again and again, without any intention of stopping.

Seeing that Brienne was not in danger, Nymeria signaled to Lind, and the two walked out of the stable together.

"I plan to place the mountain people you brought back this time over to Red Leaf Village. What do you think?" Nymeria asked Lind as the two walked.

"Didn't Hongye Village house some savage tribes before?" Linde asked.

Nymeria said: "Those savage tribes are a little dishonest. Put these mountain people there and let them start a small friction, so I can have an excuse to intervene."

After hearing this, Lind looked at Nymeria and smiled: "You have begun to learn to think like a lord."

"This is necessary. I can't always rely on you to make decisions!" Nymeria looked at Lind and said with a hint of complaint: "You can't stay here forever."

Linde smiled bitterly and did not respond.

Nymeria sighed and asked, "How long can you stay here?"

Linde replied: "It may be one or two years, or it may be shorter. It depends on what High Court thinks."

In fact, Linde knew very well that his time in Tengshi Town was definitely not as long as one or two years, and he might leave this year. The time should be almost after the Blackwater River Fortress was built, because Vilas hoped that Linde could speed up His plan.

Although Willas did not become the Three-Eyed Raven, he was still affected by the Three-Eyed Raven during that time, which made him regard resisting the White Walkers as his most important task.

Not to mention other things, in the past few months, under his suggestion, all prisoners in the Reach territories were sent to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen, as long as they were not guilty of minor crimes. The total number of prisoners exceeded a thousand. This move also Shocking the other lords.

Although it is common practice to send prisoners to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen, there are not many lords who actually do this. Most prisoners will still stay in their own territories for processing, and only a very small number of death row prisoners will be sent to the Great Wall.

Therefore, many times the Night Watchmen of the Great Wall send recruiters south to recruit prisoners, but the number recruited each time is very limited. Twenty or thirty people are considered good. This is why there are more than a thousand people in various territories in the Reach. The reason why prisoners caused such a sensation when they were sent to the Great Wall.

However, doing so also caused quite a bit of controversy in the Reach. People felt that Willas's actions were a bit excessive. There were even rumors that Willas's paralysis had affected his mind and emotions. The implication was that Willas is no longer fit to be the heir to Highgarden.

However, these discordant sounds soon disappeared, because as a large number of prisoners were sent to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen, the security of various territories in the Reach has obviously improved a lot, and even some drunken fights are rare. happened, which also led to misunderstanding among the people, mistakenly believing that Willas sent prisoners to serve as night watchmen for the purpose of maintaining security in various territories in the Reach.

Although the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, and Villas's reputation was not damaged but strengthened a lot. However, the Queen of Thorns and the Duke of Metz were both worried about Villas's status, so they restricted some of Villas's authority. Let him recuperate in Highgarden with peace of mind.

Feeling that he is helpless and can't do anything now, he can only put his hope on Linde to increase his resistance to the White Walkers. Therefore, recently, Vilas has written two letters and sent someone to Linde. In his hand, he urged Linde to complete the task of suppressing bandits as soon as possible.

Vilas's tone in the letter seemed calm, but Lind could feel Vilas' anxiety. He felt that even if he did nothing and just stayed in Tengshi Town, Vilas would probably He will also take the initiative to announce that he has completed the task of suppressing bandits at the right time, and then hand over the enclave in the Sea of ​​Dorne into his hands.

Think about it, if the other knights knew that someone was so proactive in giving away their territory, they would definitely go crazy with jealousy towards Lind.

Linde looked at Tengshi Town on the other side of the Mande River, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, when he came here, Tengshi Town was just a small village, and now it has developed into a small village in just one year. City, if the location hadn't been in line with his wishes, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to stay here.

Linde sighed and said: "When I leave, I will leave White Deer Wenda here. With the three hundred rangers under her and the garrison on hand, it should be enough to deal with most dangers."

"Yes." Nymeria did not refuse and nodded. Then her face suddenly turned red and she said very abruptly: "I am already twenty years old, and my mother was pregnant with me at this time."

Lind was startled for a moment, turned to look at Nymeria, was silent for a moment, and said, "My bed is not very comfortable, how about your bed over there?"

Nymeria did not understand Lind's words at first, with a look of disappointment on her face, but she soon came to her senses, realized Lind's hint, and said quickly: "My bed is made by King's Landing craftsmen. The well-made quilt with a thick layer of goose down is very comfortable to sleep on. ”

Lind grabbed Nymeria's hand and smiled: "That's good, I'll sleep with you during this time!"

For the knight officers of Tengshi Town and the knight officers of Lind's cavalry, the union of Lind and Nymeria is something they are happy to see happen. In fact, they have been constantly creating opportunities for the two this year. , but both of them seem to be tepid. If it were placed on other people, children might have been born by now.

For this reason, Scar Eye even started to come up with bad ideas, suggesting that Moroya, who was proficient in various poisons, prepare some aphrodisiacs for Lind or Nymeria to take, and Moroya's reply made Scar Eye have diarrhea for a whole day. .

Therefore, when they learned from the maid that Lind had appeared in Nymeria's castle room at night, each of them felt as if their wish had been fulfilled, as if their long-cherished wish had finally come true.

Only Moroya's face looked a little ugly, and all smart people knew not to get close to her in the recent period.

However, some of Nymeria's subordinates are worried because Linde and Nymeria are not married at the moment. If they have offspring, they will be illegitimate. Illegitimate children are not a good thing in Westeros. reputation.

But for Nymeria's old subordinates, this is not a big problem, because Nymeria herself is considered an illegitimate child, but when she was born, Nymeria's mother gave her the surname Fu Deli. Nymeria was not affected by her illegitimate status, at least on the surface.
