Chapter 148 Vilas’ Request

It has been almost a month since the Dragon Feast Ceremony was carried out. Linde had returned to Tengshi Town from Summer Hall more than ten days ago, and every day he either fished leisurely on the Mander River or trained Brienne and Asha.

All matters in his territory were handed over to his subordinates. For example, Jon was sent to Miracle Port as the general manager, Scar-eyed Mitt became the commander of Miracle Port garrison, and the original financial officer Reese was transferred to Midsummer. The hall serves as the general manager, and the adjutant Raul serves as the commander of the garrison of the Midsummer Hall.

In addition, Brynn Riverwen was also transferred to the Redguard Valley to be responsible for the construction of the Redguard Castle and the Redguard Mountain Road. In order to ensure that things would not go wrong, Lind also borrowed Maester Ives from Nymeria. Ask him to assist Bryn Rivers.

Linde also established an auxiliary administrative organization with Moroya as the core, which was similar to the imperial council, but more like the ancient cabinet or military aircraft department in previous lives. He recruited a large number of capable wandering bachelors and down-and-out nobles to fill it. In addition to some political affairs related to other territories and the Iron Throne, ordinary affairs within the territory are also handed over to this small cabinet.

In addition, he also recruited a group of bachelors and assistant bachelors specializing in law from the city, and asked them to form a circuit court together with the monks from the Church of the Seven Gods. They would travel around the municipalities and villages in the territory to judge all kinds of people who appeared in these places. For such disputes, only crimes related to serious crimes such as homicide will be sent to Linde for trial by Linde himself.

You must know that other lords spend most of their time sitting in the halls of their castles every day, listening to the visiting people talking about trivial disputes, and making decisions on these small disputes.

Therefore, the circuit court established by Linde undoubtedly greatly reduced the complex affairs he needed to deal with, and it was difficult for other lords to imitate this method. After all, no lord would hand over the power of trial to the church, let alone to the bachelor. , the right to judge is the most important right of a lord, and it is also the right that can easily demonstrate the lord's majesty.

Only people like Linde, who can gain higher reputation from other places and have the blessing of divine majesty, will not care about this judicial power.

However, the subordinates in the territory worked so hard not just because they were fulfilling their duties, but because they wanted to create more opportunities for Linde and Nymeria to be alone.

For the subjects in the territory, heirs are always the top priority, even if Linde and Nymeria are still young.

Linde and Nymeria have been sleeping together for two years. Whenever they are together, they almost always sleep together. However, there is still no movement, which makes the subordinates of the territory feel anxious.

Moroya and Qyburn examined the two and concluded that Lind's body was too strong, or to be more correct, Lind's blood was too strong and had an absolute impact on Nymeria. Suppression, thus causing Nymeria to be unable to conceive normally.

There are only two solutions given by Moroya. One is to bleed Linde to make Linde as weak as Nymeria, and the other method is to increase the number of times. As the number of times increases, the chance of pregnancy increases. It has also increased, and I might be pregnant at some point.

Therefore, when Linde established a cabinet on the issue, everyone except Moloa agreed. And after Linde promised to find a replacement as soon as possible, Moloa came out of the laboratory and temporarily served as the cabinet manager. Position.

Linde, who had handed over all kinds of affairs, stayed in Tengshi Town and lived a leisurely life.

"You've been living too leisurely lately!" Nymeria sat on the boat and came to Lind's boat parked in the middle of the river.

During this time, Linde's fishing on the Mande River has become a scene in Tengshi Town, because his boat seems not to be affected by the rapid currents in the upper reaches of the Mande River and can always stop stably in the middle of the river. This magical scene has been regarded as one of Linde's many miracles, and there are rumors that after Linde controlled the storm and thunder, he also controlled the river.

Lind smiled and said to Nymeria: "Really? I just look leisurely, but actually I am training."

As Linde said, he was indeed training, and what he was training was the control of the power of the dragon rune.

After the Dragon Feast Ceremony a month ago, the physical changes caused by the Dragon Feast Ritual to Linde, in addition to some improvements in basic qualities such as strength and speed, the biggest improvement was that the dragon runes of the Dragon Feast Ritual were integrated into his heart. , became part of the heart, and this also brought the extraordinary power of the dragon rune to Linde.

In the past, Linde needed to use the dragon rune necklace or the dragon rune on the sword of the Homeless Knight to use the corresponding supernormal power, but now he can directly use the power of the dragon rune in his heart to produce some supernormal effects. For example, the ability to immobilize a ship on the water so that it does not follow the current is one of the extraordinary effects.

At the same time, he could also feel a large amount of hot power gathered in the dragon rune. He felt that when he could fully control the power of the Dragon Feast Dragon Rune, he might be able to unleash this hot power.

At that time, he may be able to spit out flames like a giant dragon. After all, some of the forbidden prayer spells of the Lost Knight have abilities similar to the dragon's breath, and it's not just fire, but also frost, storm, and thunder. The dragon's breath is there.

Although the Dragon Feast Ritual gave Linde more powerful power, he was also a little disappointed that the progress bar of Gold Finger did not change because of the Dragon Feast Ritual. What it was before, the Dragon Feast Ritual still looks like.

However, he was not in a hurry. He still had plenty of time to try and find ways to speed up the progress bar.

"I think your leisurely days are over." Nymeria took out a letter and handed it to Lind, and said, "It's from Highgarden."

Linde was stunned, took the letter, opened it, read it, and asked, "Lord Vilas wants me to assist Lord Fortimo and Lord Joel Flowers in transporting a group of criminals to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen."

Nymeria was slightly surprised and said: "It seems that the impact of that incident is not small, and you are actually required to be escorted."

Linde also nodded seriously and agreed.

Three months ago, Villas gathered a group of about 200 death row prisoners and planned to send them to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen. This is not the first time that Villas has done this. He has done this several times before. All went very smoothly.

Vilas has even become the most valued partner of the Night Watch of the Great Wall of Despair. Commander-in-Chief Kogel of the Night Watch even personally wrote a letter of thanks and sent it to Highgarden.

Along with the thank-you letter, there were many precious gifts that could never be seen in the south and could only be seen north of the Great Wall, such as the complete mammoth skeleton and the head of a giant, etc., which also caused a stir in the High Court. It caused quite a stir.

Everyone thought that this was just an ordinary escort, and no one thought that there was an accident. But what they didn't expect was that an accident happened, but it was not someone from the High Court, but the night watchman in charge of the escort.

When the team marched near the small town of Harroway, the night watchmen suddenly attacked the Highgarden soldiers escorting the team.

Because the attack came suddenly, one moment they were friends drinking and eating meat, and the next moment they were sworn enemies facing each other with swords. All the soldiers were unprepared and died in the first round of the attack.

Afterwards, the rebellious night watchman led the death row prisoners to Salt Farm Town, where they robbed a lot of property and several ships used to transport salt. Afterwards, they followed the sea route, passed through Crab Bay, and disappeared in On the surface of the Narrow Sea, if there were no accidents, he might be on the other side of the Narrow Sea at this moment.

This incident created a huge commotion, which directly led to the ban on the entry of men in black in places such as the Riverlands and the Valley. This made it impossible for the recruiting officers of the Night's Watch to go south to recruit troops, and Willas was preparing to be sent to the death row prisoners on the Great Wall. You can only send someone to deliver it yourself.

"What he did is making a fuss out of a molehill. Isn't it enough to send Lord Fortimo and Lord Joel to escort him?" Nymeria said with some confusion:

After hearing this, Linde was stunned, then pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps I was not sent there to escort death row prisoners to serve as night watchmen, but for other things."

"Other things?" Nymeria took the letter from Linde, looked at it, and asked puzzledly: "It didn't say anything else?"

Just as Nymeria finished speaking, she heard an eagle cry from the sky, and then saw a sea eagle with white feathers and a red crown falling from the sky and landing steadily on Linde. on the edge of the boat.

Then, the sea eagle barked twice at Linde, and then shook the small cloth bag tied to its feet.

"Lord Willas?" Seeing this unusual sea eagle, Lind immediately imagined the scene of Holland Reed possessing a raven to deliver a message.

There was a surprised look in the sea eagle's eyes, and he was obviously a little surprised that Linde could recognize him. Then he called to Linde twice and nodded.

Linde didn't think any more and reached out to take off the bag from the sea eagle's feet.

After the bag was taken off, the sea eagle did not stay any longer and quickly fluttered its wings and flew away.

"Is Lord Willas a shapeshifter?" Nymeria asked in surprise after witnessing all this.

"Maybe!" Lind said, but he felt that Willas's ability should be stronger than that of the skinchanger, perhaps comparable to the Green Seer.

Linde took out a folded letter from the bag, opened it and looked at it carefully. The look on his face became a little serious because of the content of the letter.

After Lind read it, Nymeria also took it and read it carefully, and couldn't help complaining: "He actually asked you to go to the land of eternal winter north of the Great Wall to find a horn? Could it be that he came from When you fall down, it’s not your legs that’s broken, but your brain?”

Just as Nymeria said, what Willas wrote on the letter was that he hoped that Lind would use this opportunity to escort the prisoners to go to the land of eternal winter north of the Great Wall to find the secrets buried there. The Horn of Winter, and also drew a simple map to indicate the location of the Horn of Winter.

Nymeria said with some seriousness: "You are no longer a knight of the Tyrell family. You are the lord of the River Bend. You have the right to refuse such excessive instructions."

Linde shook his head and said, "But I also want to visit the Great Wall of Despair and the Land of Eternal Winter."

"What's so interesting about the Great Wall and the Land of Eternal Winter? Apart from ice, it's just snow." Nymeria asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"There are White Walkers to see," Lind replied.

"Haha! White Walker!" Nymeria thought Lind was joking at first, but after laughing twice, she noticed something was wrong with Lind's expression, and his smile gradually faded, and she asked slightly seriously: "Are you telling the truth?"

Linde nodded and looked at the note in his hand.

Linde didn't know much about the Horn of Winter. He only knew that it was buried in a place called the Fist of the First Men, buried with some dragon crystal arrowheads. He didn't know the exact location, and it seemed to have been damaged. .

"Will it be dangerous for you to go there?" Nymeria asked with some worry. After all, in the various legends she had heard since childhood, the White Walkers were extremely dangerous and terrifying existences.

"You shouldn't ask me this question, but the White Walkers." Linde joked confidently, and then he didn't want to mention the matter anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "How is dad's tavern? "

"It's been built," Nymeria said with a hint of worry on her face, "However, he asked you not to sit in his tavern again. The last time you went there, you made too much noise and caused him a lot of trouble. It will cause a lot of trouble, and don’t publicize your relationship.”

Ever since Tengshi Town was stabilized, Linde has been trying to bring Father Bain over from Bai Village, but he has always been rejected by Bain. He means that he still has many old friends in Bai Village, where Live comfortably.

It was not until recently that Father Bain's last old friend died of illness that Father Bain agreed to Linde's proposal and moved the tavern to Tengshi Town.

However, he did not accept the tavern built for him by Linde. Instead, he spent his own money to build a tavern next to Tengshi Avenue outside the town. After the tavern was built, Linde only went there once and never again. He didn't go, and people who knew the relationship between the two thought that Linde and Bain's father had fallen out.

The last time he went to the tavern, Linde felt that although Father Bain's feelings for him had not changed, there was already some distance between them because of their status, and he felt uncomfortable even talking, so after hearing He was not surprised by Father Bain's request.

After asking Nymeria to secretly take care of Father Bain, Lind suddenly felt the hanging fishing line move slightly, so he immediately raised the pole and reeled in the line, only to see a three-foot-long fish being dragged from the water. It came out, drew an arc in the air, and landed on Nymeria's boat. However, there was no fishhook at the top of the fishing line that dragged the big fish.

Now that we have decided to go to the land of eternal winter, we need to arrange things in the territory.

Linde directly used the raven to inform the general managers and garrison commanders of various places that he had accepted Veras's entrustment to escort a group of prisoners to the Great Wall of Despair, but he did not tell them that this trip would also go to the land of eternal winter.

Because all the affairs had been assigned to the right people, there were not many things that Lind needed to ask. Finally, he informed everyone that during his time at the Great Wall, Nymeria would be in charge of all affairs in the territory.

None of the subjects in the territory had any objections to Lind's decision, because this was not the first time. Many times before, Nymeria had replaced Lind in presiding over the affairs of the territory. In fact, many people It seems that the territories of Nymeria and Linde are one, and it does not matter who is in charge of whose affairs. In the future, when they have a child, that child may be the sole heir of the two territories, and the two territories will also be from there. Legally integrated.
