Chapter 80 The Trial of the Seven Sons (4)

After Renly finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, and then the old knight asked.

"Pawin Osgrey, are you sure?"

His facial expression was very strange, and Renly was a little confused.

There were many people named Pawin in history, but the Pawin Osgrey he was talking about was not a person too far away, but the heir of a lord family in the River Reach during the Conqueror War era that he had read in historical materials. He died at a young age in a battle called the Raging Fire.

Due to his certain speculation about the old knight in front of him, he pondered for a long time before figuring out this name. It was originally just a layer of tiger skin, but judging from the situation, could this person know the person he was talking about?

This is possible. In his time, the surname Osgrey belonged to a small noble family in the River Reach, but now it is one of the most famous nobles in the River Reach. It seems understandable that this old knight from the West knows the person he is talking about, after all, the West is adjacent to the River Reach.

"That's the name."

Thinking in his heart did not affect Renly's superficial answer. He touched his forehead and said hesitantly: "Perwin Osgrey, I remember this name, sir, my father told me personally."

"What's your father's name?" the old knight asked again after hearing this.

"His name is Jerry Flowers, sir." Renly replied.

The surname Flowers is one of the many surnames of illegitimate children in Westeros. In Westeros, illegitimate children of nobles from all over the Seven Kingdoms have no right to inherit their father's surname, but they are not without surnames. Each region in the Seven Kingdoms has a corresponding illegitimate surname, such as Flowers in the River Bay, Snow in the North, Storm in the Stormland, and so on.

Renly felt that the old knight might be familiar with the Osgrey family, but this did not affect him from saying the identity he had set for himself.

After all, you may be familiar with the person involved, but you can't be familiar with the illegitimate child of the person involved, right?

And this illegitimate child was made up by him casually.

As expected, the other party did not ask any more questions after hearing this, but frowned and pondered, as if recalling something.

Renly felt that things were a bit bad.

He had no other intention in mentioning this name, just to bring the two sides closer while bringing them closer.

This approach was very skillful.

Before the Conqueror War, the Osgrey family was a great noble in the Reach, with a great reputation, and was quite rich and powerful.

However, after the raging battle in which Aegon conquered the Reach and the West, the Osgrey family suffered heavy losses, and from then on began to go downhill, and later suffered setbacks. By his time, it was even just a family of wealthy knights.

This alone was just a history of the rise and fall of a noble family, but considering the origin of the old knight in front of him, it might not be that simple.

According to his inquiries, the old knight in front of him was born into a noble family in the West, but 41 years ago he suddenly gave up his family's property and inheritance rights and chose to join the church.

What kind of blow could make him suddenly give up his property in the West and run to the church to become a poor and simple church knight?

There are many possibilities, family infighting, being trapped by love, or even maybe this person suddenly came to his senses and thought that faith is more important than material wealth.

But if we consider the time and what happened in the Westerly at that time, Renly had to think of a possibility.

Did this person in front of him participate in that raging battle, or did his father and brothers participate?

As a result, he was hit hard after the death of his relatives and finally converted to the church?

This possibility is not small, because the River Reach and the Westerly were both victims of the raging battle, and suffered heavy casualties from the dragon's burn.

Renly cannot be completely sure of this, but if this is true, what would an old man whose life was changed by that battle think when facing the descendants of the nobles whose entire family's fate was also changed by that battle?

Although one is a Westerly noble and the other is a River Reach noble, the two sides were brothers in distress in that battle.

So, no matter how indifferent one's temperament is, it is impossible to be indifferent to the downtrodden descendants of his "comrade in distress", right?

Of course, if you want to disguise this, you must have a certain historical background. At least you have to know the coat of arms and family history of "your family". You don't need to know too much, but you can't know nothing at all.

Otherwise, there will be many mistakes and people will only regard you as a liar.

At the same time, you can't find nobles who are too close to you. If you are too close, you will be easily exposed.

You can't claim that you are a direct descendant of the family, otherwise how could you be so miserable?

Renly knew that the fate of the Osgrey family was changed because of the rage, but he didn't know the specific situation of that family in the current era.

So Renly positioned himself as a bastard, or the son of a bastard, who is not well known, has fallen to the civilian class, but still remembers his origin as a bastard.

It is not difficult to disguise this. After all, a commoner who lives in a village and does not know most of the people except his own lord can pull out many things between the nobles, which proves that his identity is not simple, and Renly can read, which can better show his identity.

As a result, he became the son of a poor bastard from a noble family in the Reach that was ruined by the Battle of the Field of Fury.

Although his status is also low, he is much better than ordinary farmers. In addition, the other party may have emotions because they are also "fellow sufferers", so I think his status will be completely different from before.

As long as this status is improved, Renly can more easily achieve his goal-

Try to learn knight-related knowledge and skills from him, and rely on his identity to successfully become a knight and finally join the Sons of Warriors.

Only by becoming a knight, or a knight who looks like a knight, can he join the Sons of Warriors, and only by joining the Sons of Warriors can he participate in the future Trial of the Seven Sons.

This is a serial task. Renly has prepared for the first step of the long journey, and the starting point is the Knight Lerin in front of him.

It's just that this first step has just been taken, and it seems that something went wrong...

Obviously, the old knight couldn't have imagined that the big blond man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him would have so much thoughts in his simple words, but it was indeed as Renly worried that he was very familiar with Perwin Osgrey mentioned by Renly, and even more familiar than he could be.

That is why the old knight carefully pondered the hidden message behind Renly's words, instead of being aroused by sympathy or indifference as Renly expected.

But he thought for a long time and couldn't seem to figure out anything, so under Renly's anxious gaze, he raised his deep and dark eyes and carefully examined Renly's face, and finally patted his shoulder and sighed, and ordered his subordinates to take the two sheepherders who had initially woken up and turned away.

This made Renly feel a little puzzled, and he had a bad premonition, which came true not long after.

After setting up camp that night, the old knight suddenly came to the door, and after looking at him carefully for a long time, he said, "My name is not Lerin, my real name is Weiss, Weiss Osgrey."

Renly was stunned when he heard this, and the other party said, "The Perwin Osgrey you are talking about is my brother."
