Chapter 249 Various Meetings

After some pleasantries, Lind also introduced his son to Gars. Gars also took out one of his portable daggers as a gift to Augustus, and the relationship between the two parties also changed from unfamiliarity to harmony.

Afterwards, Gars led Lind to the residence arranged for him, which was also a place Lind was familiar with, namely the Golden Rose Garden.

I don’t know whether it was accidental or intentional, but the people Dorne sent to attend the wedding were arranged in the manor next to the Golden Rose Garden. What was even more interesting was that the envoy Dorne sent this time was Princess Arianne.

"Lord Linde, I heard that he came to see you when he left Highgarden." When Linde first settled in the Golden Rose Garden, Princess Arianne couldn't wait to see him, and after seeing him The first sentence was to ask about things related to Vilas.

Looking at Princess Arianne, whom he had not seen for several years, Linde could not help but marvel at her beauty. As she grew older, she also exuded a mature charm, and her appearance and figure became more charming. It seemed that she contained a kind of magic called charm. Even if Lind had no thoughts about Princess Arianne, he couldn't help but have some physiological reactions when he saw her for the first time.

"Yes." Linde nodded and said truthfully: "He asked me to take care of you when you are in trouble."

"Take care of me, hum! He is still the self-righteous coward who didn't even have the courage to see me. He ran away after knowing that I was coming. Coward! A disgusting coward!" Princess Arianne looked annoyed. She cursed continuously, but from these curses, it was not difficult to hear that she still had deep feelings for Vilas, even though she now had several lovers by her side.

"Did you come to me just to curse Willas in front of me?" Lind looked at Princess Arianne, sighed, and said with a hint of teasing: "If this is the case, I suggest you follow the instructions immediately. Chase him north along the Rose Avenue and King's Road. He is in a wheelchair and can't walk very fast. You should be able to catch up with him before he reaches the North. Then you can just tie him to Dorne and let him do whatever you want. Anyway, now that he has put on the black robe and is no longer the heir of Highgarden, you only need to face the accusations from the Great Wall. I think the accusations from the Great Wall will not have any impact on you. "

Upon hearing Lind's proposal, Princess Arianne couldn't help but froze for a moment, with a thoughtful look on her face. She seemed to have taken Lind's teasing words seriously and was considering the feasibility.

This made Lind feel a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't say clearly that he was joking, so he could only let Arianne think clearly.

Arianne soon recovered from her contemplation, and sighed and said: "It's useless. The decision he made will not be changed. Just like back then, whatever is for my benefit and whatever belongs to him The mission is just an excuse!" As she said this, she may have felt that her current behavior was like a resentful woman, so she stopped immediately, did not continue to say anything, but adjusted her expression and said to Linde: "We It’s better not to talk about that coward anymore. I come to see you now mainly because I hope you can support me, Mr. Linde..."

"I won't support you." Before Arianne could finish her words, Lind gave his answer directly.

Arianne frowned, looked at Linde slightly displeased, and said in a deep voice, "Is it because I am a woman?"

"Of course not." Linde shook his head and said: "If you really know me, you should know that I do not object to women taking power. In fact, when it comes to matters in the Summer Hall, my wife Nymeria is She is the real decision-maker and I usually follow her decisions.”

"In that case, why can't you support me?" Arianne asked in confusion.

"Because your abilities and character show that you are not a qualified lord or prince." Linde said very directly: "Do you know? Although you are the daughter of Prince Daolang, you are more like your uncle Ao Prince Oberon is not only similar in character, but also in his behavior. He is simply a female red viper. Prince Oberyn is not capable of governing Dorne, so how can you, an imitator, govern Dorne well? And you know that you and I are not? What’s the biggest difference between Prince Oberon?”

Arianne listened to Linde's words, her face gloomy, but she couldn't help but ask: "What's the difference?"

"It's because you don't have self-awareness." Linde said unceremoniously: "Prince Oberon has a very clear self-understanding of his own abilities and knows what he can and cannot do, so he can compete with Prince Doran. Perfect cooperation, suppressing many lords of Dorne, but you don't have this kind of self-awareness, not only do you have no self-awareness, but you also think highly of yourself, thinking that you..."

"That's enough!" Arianne interrupted Linde to continue speaking, then glared at Linde fiercely, then turned and left the Golden Rose Garden. It seemed that Linde's words had really hurt her self-esteem.

Jon stood aside and remained silent. It was not until Arianne left that he whispered to Lind, "Lord Lind, are you going too far? After all, Princess Arianne..."

Lind interrupted Jon and then said with a smile: "I want to give a complete description of the way you looked at Princess Arianne just now to Mrs. Victoria. Also, wipe the saliva from your mouth!"

After hearing this, Jon looked embarrassed, turned around and wiped his mouth.

With the arrival of Princess Arianne, a button called "receiving guests" was pressed. After that, one after another, the lords and nobles who came to attend Garland's wedding came to the Golden Rose Garden to see Linde, and some of them discussed some trade matters. Some of the things he did were specifically to communicate with Linde. It was not until after nightfall that the wave of visitors ended.

After all, there is no way to meet the legendary figure Linde so easily at other times. In Summer Hall, Linde would either stay in the castle, Port of Miracles, Red Guard City, or go to the Black Cave or the Temple of Salvation. Generally speaking, It is difficult for ordinary people to see him.

After Linde had dinner in the evening, he took the two little guys to the courtyard to accompany the Son of God's Choice in training the pterodactyl.

At this time, one of his spies returned to the Golden Rose Garden with the news just passed from Highgarden, reported to Linde, and said: "My lord, the teams from King's Landing and the Western Region have entered the city. Arranged to live in the inner city.”

Lind nodded and asked: "Who came to Highgarden on behalf of your Majesty? Lord Stannis?"

"No." The spy shook his head and said, "Your Majesty came in person."

Lind was stunned. He knew very well that King Robert did not like Duke Mace Tyrell at all, and by the way, he also did not like the Tyrell family. Although Garland Tyrell, the heir to the guardian of the South, held a wedding, it was very It's important, but it depends on who it is. A person with King Robert's status doesn't need to be there in person at all. Sending Stanlis directly is enough to give the Tyrell family face.

Now King Robert personally came to Highgarden, which he disliked very much. It must not only be for Garland's wedding, but also for other things.

At this time, he suddenly thought of the team in the West, so he asked: "Where is the West? Who comes from the West? Is it Kevan Lannister?"

"No, Lord Tywin came in person." the spy replied.

"Something's wrong, something's really wrong!" Linde quickly felt that something was wrong with this matter.

Under normal circumstances, Dorne's reaction was the right one. Sending a high-status direct noble to attend the wedding could not only show respect for the Tyrell family, but also avoid taking the matter too seriously. The Riverlands This is true for , the Valley, and even the North. Only Renly from the Stormlands who has an unusual relationship with the Tyrell family would choose to participate in person.

But now the king and the duke came to Garland Tyrell's wedding, which was obviously too much, and this behavior was not what the two of them should do.

"Could it be that you are here to marry into the Tyrell family?" At this time, Mrs. Victoria, who was quietly listening to the spies' report, suddenly said.

"Marriage?" Linde looked at Mrs. Victoria in confusion and motioned for her to continue.

Lady Victoria explained: "When I attended some ladies' banquets in Port Miracle some time ago, I heard some rumors from King's Landing. It was said that Queen Cersei proposed a marriage between King's Landing and Highgarden, so that Joffrey The prince and Miss Margery will make an engagement and get married when they are of the right age."

Lynde and Jon looked at each other after hearing this, and both felt that this rumor should be true, and it was probably spread from King's Landing to test Highgarden's reaction, and now King Robert and Tai Duke Wen has come in person, so this matter must have received the tacit approval of the Tyrell family in Highgarden, and they are just waiting for the right time to make it public.

After Linde understood the situation, he ignored it. Although this matter was different from what he knew in his previous life, it was not a big problem. After all, many things were different, not bad. This one.

The marriage between King's Landing and Highgarden has no impact on him. He only needs to manage his own territory well. After all, for him now, it is already good not to cause trouble for others, so how can he Worried about the impact of such a marriage.

After a night's rest, Linde took Augustus to the High Court early in the morning to meet with the Duke of Metz.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the Duke of Metz touched Augustus's head affectionately and said to Margery on the side: "A very energetic little guy, Margery, take him to play in the garden. Bar!"

I don’t know whether it was Margaery’s own charm or the affinity generated by the power of Green-Hand Gals in her. Augustus, who had always disliked strangers, was led out of the room by Margaery. He didn't even look back at Lind, the father.

Looking at Margaery walking away, Lind also realized that Vilas had probably already made preparations to leave Highgarden and go to the Great Wall, because judging from Margaery's situation, it was obvious that Vilas was there. She has been preparing for it for several years, and now she is the new incarnation of Green Hand Garth.

As for whether the power of Garth the Green Hand in Vilas will be weakened because he is far away from Highgarden, Lind is not sure about this, but Lind knows that with Vilas's intelligence, he should have thought of countermeasures, otherwise he would not Will go so decisively.

After Margery left, the Duke of Metz restrained the affinity on his face and signaled the other unnecessary people in the room to leave, leaving only Garland and Gars. Then he looked at Lind with a complicated expression and said, "I I never thought that one day my heir would want to put on a black robe. What's the point of wearing a black robe? Will he sit in a wheelchair and fight wildlings and white ghosts? "

Garland sighed and said: "Father, there are bachelors at the Great Wall of Despair, brother Vilas..."

"Shut up!" The Duke of Metz glared at Garland fiercely, then looked at Lind and said, "Lind Terra, Vilas has been exchanging letters with you for a long time. When he left, no one No, I went to Midsummer Hall to meet you alone. You must know something. Now, as your lord, Duke of Highgarden and Guardian of the South, I order you to tell everything you know."

Linde looked at the Duke of Metz. Although he had been dressed up and looked normal, Linde could still see traces of age on his face and could also feel his sadness. Obviously Vilas Taking the initiative to put on a black robe and go to the Great Wall of Despair had caused him a lot of harm, so much so that he now used such forceful methods to get all the truth from Linde.

Linde was silent for a moment, considered it carefully, and then slowly said: "Villas is the incarnation of Green-Hand Gals."

After Linde's words fell, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze. Everyone was stunned. Even the Duke of Metz didn't know what kind of reaction to make.

"Linde, are you kidding?" Garland said in disbelief.

"I'm not kidding." Lind shook his head and said: "Villas has the potential to become a green prophet. When he went to Dorne, he was inadvertently spotted by the Three-Eyed Crow and wanted to make him Become your own heir."

"Wait a minute, who is the Three-Eyed Crow?" Duke Metz asked.

"He is an extremely powerful green seer. At certain times and occasions, his power is comparable to that of the gods. He has always been in the land of eternal winter outside the Great Wall, guarding there through the power of the ancient gods, preventing the White Walkers from invading southward." Linde He explained with a serious look: "I don't know exactly what the Three-Eyed Crow is. According to my analysis and that of Moroya, it may be a green prophet from the ancient times. He wakes up in different people by constantly waking up. As a result, the current Three-Eyed Raven is Lord Brynden Rivers, who shot Daemon Blackfyre to death and put down the Blackfyre Rebellion more than a hundred years ago."

Listening to Linde's words, Duke Metz, Garland and Garth were all shocked by Linde's words and were speechless for a long time.

Although they all feel that these things are as unreliable as the ancient ancestors' legends sung in the tavern, but these things depend on whose mouth they are said. Those things said by the bards in the tavern are not reliable. legend, but from the mouth of Lind Terra, a legendary hero recognized by the world, then no matter how absurd things are, it is very likely to be true.
