Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Kevera was anxiously waiting in his manor for the people sent out to report the news. Although Linde said yesterday that he would solve his troubles for him, he still did not dare to fully believe in Linde's ability.

Because after Linde left, he also recovered from the shock of Linde's reputation and regained his composure.

He himself was willing to believe that Linde's ability was as powerful as the rumors, but he knew very well that the rumors could not be completely believed. A little achievement would be exaggerated to the point of being unrivaled. He was very worried that there was such a thing in Linde's reputation. An exaggerated element.

So in his opinion, if Linde fails to successfully solve his troubles, then he still needs to find a way to save himself.

Because of this, the secret sentry he sent to the lower reaches of the Little Lorne River was not transferred back, and the hundred Unsullied who were ambushing around the manor did not cancel their alert. Even the defensive layout of the water city wall did not make any changes, and even he Nor did he follow Linde's orders to disperse the guards in the manor.

After that, for a day and a night, nothing happened. The secret sentry downstream reported news regularly, and no Udawu's ship was seen heading upstream. The people on the shore did not find anything unusual. Here, he vaguely believed Linde's words. But he still had no intention of obeying Linde's instructions and going to the lower reaches of the Little Lorne River to collect Udawu's body. Instead, before dawn, he very carefully sent one of his subordinates to go downstream to check the situation.

As the sky gradually became brighter, a punt boat was traveling quickly in the lower reaches of the Little Lorne River. When it came to the vicinity of the water city, it went ashore directly and quickly ran towards the manor of Kvera.

When the guards on the road saw the visitor, they all asked the same question at the same time. How is the situation at White Skull Udawu?

However, the man didn't say anything. He passed through the guards in the manor and ran to the door of the hall where Kwela was, and then he gasped and said loudly: "Dead! They are all dead."

"Are Udawu and his cannibal skeletons dead?" Kwela immediately stepped forward and asked urgently.

"They're all dead!" the man gasped, "They're all frozen to death."

Hearing this, Kvera was completely stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Frozen to death? What does this mean?"

"It's, it's, it's just freezing to death, just freezing to death in the ice and snow..." The subordinate didn't know how to describe it for a moment. He could only gesture anxiously and explain with the few words in his mind.

Kvera understood what he wanted to express, but he felt a little ridiculous about it. Although the environment in the Velvet Hills was not as hot as the coastal areas, there should not be ice and snow. You must know that there has been no sight here for several years. It's been snowing.

However, he quickly thought of Linde. Thinking of Linde's words, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately summoned his men, leaving a hundred people to guard the water city wall, and nearly two hundred people under the leadership of his men. , rushing towards Udawu’s camp.

However, before they reached the location, the snow-covered woods on the shore already made them feel that things were unusual.

As the ship continued to descend, they soon had to dock, because the river was covered with a layer of ice. Although some of the ice had broken into ice cubes, it still blocked the river and the ship could not move at all. Sailing.

After landing, everyone, led by the previous spies, walked along the river bank to the junction of the Little Lorne River and the Upper Lorne River. Kwila remembered that there was a spacious river beach here, and he thought Udawu should be stationed here.

When they arrived near the river beach, although they were mentally prepared, what they saw in front of them still made them take a breath of cold air.

I saw, starting from the frozen pole boat and the people on the boat, hundreds of strong cannibal skeletons under Udawu were frozen into ice sculptures and stood here. Their fearful emotions were all over at the moment of death. It was written on the face and sealed by the ice sculpture, so that anyone who saw it could clearly feel their emotions of fear and despair at that time.

The ice sculpture of Udawu stood out among a group of ice sculptures of suicide corpses. He raised his hands high and opened his mouth as if he was shouting something. However, a few fingers on the palm of his right hand were missing, and it looked like they had been broken off. Something was taken from his palm.

Seeing everything in front of him, Kwela immediately thought of Linde, because besides Linde, he couldn't think of anyone else who would help him solve a big trouble in this way.

At the same time, he has also understood that the legends about Linde are true, and that Linde really has the power of a god.

At this time, he also thought about the conditions he had agreed to with Linde. He originally felt that Linde was taking advantage of others' danger, but now it seems that this may be the most correct choice he has ever made in his life.

At this time, he thought of two other troubles, and couldn't help but take out the iron coin that Linde gave him and put it in his hand to look at it. He felt that this iron coin should be able to do what Linde said. Save yourself from the faceless men.

And when Kvera took out the iron coin, he didn't notice that the personal guard next to him was looking at the iron coin, and there was a little surprise on his face.

On the other side, after finishing off the river pirate Udawu yesterday, Lind returned to his boat and used telekinesis to push the boat along the waterway of the Upper Lorne River towards the edge of the Velvet Hills in the north.

According to the intelligence given by Kvira, the group of Dothraki who often wandered between Norvos and Qohor was currently stationed near the bottomless pool on the edge of the Velvet Hills.

Because he only knew an approximate place but did not know the exact location, Linde disembarked near the arch bridge of Valyria Avenue and searched for a day and a night before he found the bottomless pool mentioned by Kvira.

This deep pool is near a canyon. The deep pool is surrounded by a ring of pillars. A female sphinx statue stands alone next to it. It can be seen from the traces on the grass next to the sphinx statue that here There should also be a sphinx statue, presumably male.

On the edge of the deep pool, there are about five hundred Dothraki warriors camping here, all of them are adult men, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled, and there are no carriages or other luggage, and all of them have braids on their heads. was cut out.

After seeing these Dothraki, Lind originally planned to use thick fog and frozen dragon runes to deal with these Dothraki just like he did with the river pirates yesterday, leaving only one or two alive.

However, before he took action, he suddenly discovered that among the group of Dothraki, there were people wearing bachelor's uniforms who were recording the runes on the stone pillars beside the deep pool. Judging from the attitude of the Dothraki towards this bachelor, , obviously this bachelor is not their prisoner, but more like a special guest.

Linde couldn't help but be curious about the identity of this bachelor. After all, someone who had the ability to make a group of Dothraki people treat him as equals must not be an ordinary little person.

So Lind changed his strategy and walked directly from behind the hillside where he was observing the Dothraki, and walked along the road towards the group of Dothraki.

Lind was soon discovered by this group of Dothraki. They didn't find anything unusual about Lind. The only thing that was unusual was that he was wearing two knight swords, and this kind of dress Mercenaries are not uncommon now.

Since the rise of Linde, many mercenaries have also dressed up like this, imagining themselves to be the second Linde. In the end, such people died in various battles because of using inappropriate weapons, so among mercenaries, This kind of mercenary equipped with two swords of the lost knight is ridiculed as a fool.

These Dothraki obviously thought that Lind was such a fool. They didn't care about Lind's approach, and they didn't think about attacking him. It wasn't that they were kind-hearted, but in their eyes, Lind was already a fool. He has something in his pocket. When he leaves, he can be captured and sold to slave traders or mine owners, which can be regarded as an extra small income.

The undisguised malice in the eyes of these Dothraki was naturally seen by Lind. They had malice towards him, and he also had no good intentions towards them. In the process of walking down the hillside, he had already crushed them. There were several wax balls of sleeping potion powder, and he controlled the breeze to bind the powder around his body. As he moved, it spread towards the Dothraki little by little.

When Lind walked to the nearest Dothraki, the Dothraki raised the scimitar in his hand and was about to ask Lind about his origins. A feeling of dizziness rushed to his head, and his vision went dark. Then he lay down on the horse and fell asleep.

At the same time, not only this Dothraki, but also the Dothraki behind him fell in pieces.

This abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of other Dothraki. They had no idea what was going on. They shouted some words in Dothraki in horror that Lind could not understand, and jumped on their horses. To escape.

However, it was already too late for them. At the moment Lind walked towards them, the medicinal powder had already blown over their heads with the breeze and was inhaled by them.

One by one, they fell asleep before running very far. They fell off the bumpy horses and fell heavily to the ground. Some people even had their necks broken and still didn't wake up.

Soon all the Dothraki were lying on the ground unconscious, only Linde and the maester beside the stone pillar of the pond were still standing.

What surprised Lind was that when the bachelor saw so many Dothraki falling to the ground as if they were dead, he not only did not show any fear or fear, but instead looked very excited and looked at Lind. He was also very excited, as if seeing a long-lost friend, and Linde was certain that he had never seen the bachelor in front of him.

This bachelor is short and fat with a thick neck. He looks more like a farmer or a blacksmith than a bachelor. His appearance is also a bit ugly. His nose has been broken and has not been corrected, so it is completely crooked to one side. His white hair has never been straightened. The ears and nose are stuck out, looking a little funny.

Compared with his appearance, the necklace made of silver and Valyrian steel worn around the other man's neck was eye-catching. Especially after seeing this Valyrian steel necklace, Lind suddenly thought I thought of someone.

So, he walked up to the bachelor and asked tentatively: "Is this Bachelor Marwin?"

"Yes." The pudgy bachelor nodded, then saluted Linde and said, "Nice to meet you, Lord Linde Terra, the God's Chosen One."

"Do you know me?" Linde asked.

Maester Marwin pointed at the sleepy Dothraki around him and said: "The power that makes all these Dothraki people sleepy must be some kind of magic, and as far as I know, the entire world has the ability to use it at will." There is no one with magical power except you. Even the shadowbinders, wizards and warlocks of Yashai don’t have such abilities as you.”

Linde once again looked at the bachelor he had been looking for for a long time.

A few years ago, Lind asked Moroya and Qyburn about Maester Marwin. He originally wanted to recruit Maester Marwin to join the Black Cave and study various issues with Moroya and Cobain. Occult knowledge.

However, Marwen had already left for the continent of Essos at that time, and had been wandering around ancient ruins in the inland wilds, rarely approaching coastal port cities, so the Miracle Chamber of Commerce had no news about him.

What Linde didn't expect was that he would be here, meeting Marwin in this way.

Marwen's research on magic and other occult knowledge can be said to be the best in the city. Even Moroya is full of praise for it and thinks that Marwen's talent in studying ancient occult science is much stronger than hers. .

When studying the sacrificial slate, she mentioned more than once that if Marwen joined, their research progress on the sacrificial slate might be accelerated several times.

In addition, Moloa also mentioned that the reason why Marwen left the school city and went to the continent of Essos was actually related to her. She once invited Marwen to study the mysterious knowledge that her family collected in the Towering Tower. Wen also happily accepted.

However, after studying for a period of time, there were some differences between the two. Marwyn believed that the mysterious knowledge collected by the Hightowers should have been artificially tampered with. Therefore, the Hightowers had researched in the wrong direction from the beginning and never learned from it. Any magical abilities gained from this arcane knowledge.

He believed that the truly valuable occult knowledge should be found in those ancient ruins. He felt that only the knowledge of those ruins had research value and could allow him to obtain magical power, so he gave up the research on the existing occult knowledge and turned to After studying various ancient civilizations, and finally finishing all the relevant books in the academy, he left the academy resolutely and went to the continent of Essos.

Now it seems that Marwin's words have some truth. Most of the various magic-containing items produced in the Black Cave are related to the ancient item of sacrificial stone slabs.

But he also got one thing wrong, that is, the best research object has been right in front of him all along. He does not need to go to the continent of Essos to find any ancient ruins, he can just study the Towering Tower directly, but he Unlike Linde, who has a pair of eyes that can see the magic runes of the towering tower.
