Chapter 28 The Missing Coben

It should be noted that it will become a scandal if the champion gives the crown representing the honor to a woman who already has a family, or if the champion is married but does not give the crown to his wife. Prince Rhaegar's act of awarding the crown to Lyanna Stark caused great controversy and triggered a series of subsequent events.

With his superb spear skills, Gavin was unstoppable and easily entered the finals, becoming one of the eye-catching dark horses in this jousting competition.

What is quite interesting is that in the first game he entered, he met Garth Hightower, nicknamed "Grey Iron". Perhaps in order to save the face of the Hightower family, Garth stabbed Gavin's vital part with his spear, but Gavin easily dodged it. After the two sides broke off two spears, Gavin shot Garth in the armpit, causing his entire arm to become dislocated. It may take several months for him to recover.

In the finals, Gavin met another dark horse, Garland Tyrell, who was participating in the jousting for the first time. He was Margaery's brother.

Even if Gavin takes the challenge seriously, both sides are still evenly matched in terms of marksmanship. After Gavin interrupted five spears in a row, he was lucky enough to knock the opponent off his horse.

The fallen Garland did not admit defeat. Instead, he took the sword and shield from the attendant and expressed his intention to continue to Gavin who was on the horse.

Gavin also immediately dismounted and took his sword, and the two of them fought together instantly. However, under the master-level swordsmanship, Garland only lasted five moves before being defeated. Gavin won the championship without any surprise.

After looking at the laurel wreath woven with roses in his hand, Gavin couldn't help but think of the dead Prince Rhaegar. It was the laurel wreath he won that led to the country's downfall. He didn't know if he would regret it when he died. He shook his head and threw it away. Get rid of distracting thoughts. Gavin walked straight to the stands and gave the title of "Queen of Love and Beauty" to Margaery Tyrell who was sitting on the stage.

Margaery, who received the garland, was also very excited, and her face also showed a touch of red. Although she had seen countless jousting contests and experienced many similar scenes, this was the first time she had received this honor. Looking at Gavin in the audience, Margery felt a little sad: "It would be great if he was really a prince."

The end of the jousting tournament announced the end of the entire tournament in the Reach. The nobles began to pack their bags and prepare to return. The merchants who gathered here because of this event also slowly moved to other places. After saying goodbye to Sir Edmond, Gavin came to Highgarden Castle and planned to say goodbye to Margaery.

There is still the flowery courtyard, the breeze blows gently, and the colorful petals fall leisurely.

Gavin saw Margaery waiting here, with surprise and sadness in her eyes. Gavin bowed slightly and saluted, Margery flicked her skirt in return, and both parties said hello to each other.

"I will be leaving Highgarden later, and I came here to say goodbye to you, Miss Margaery." Gavin looked at Margaery and said softly.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Margaery's pretty face, and she said eagerly: "Gavin, are you really not planning to serve in the High Court?"

Gavin shook his head slightly, "I still have some things to do. I will visit you again when I come back."

Margaery bit her lip gently and said with a smile: "Then I wish you a pleasant journey, and be sure to take care of yourself when you are outside. I look forward to your coming again." Her eyes followed Gavin closely, as if she wanted to Keep his image deep in your mind.

The surrounding flowers swayed gently in the breeze, seeming to whisper the sadness of parting.

Gavin came lightly dressed and only brought a sword, but after a martial arts tournament, he gained a lot.

A carriage was loaded with his loot, and three huge boxes were stacked on top. The heavy weight made the carriage difficult to move. The Blood Dragon Guard held the reins tightly in front and controlled the speed of the carriage.

Looking at the big boxes, Gavin frowned slightly and thought to himself: Fortunately, he replaced the golden dragon with a golden ticket in advance, otherwise a carriage would not be able to pull it. After a while, he would have to prepare the materials in advance, so that he could Save a lot of space and weight.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves and the creak of wheels were intertwined. Gavin, who had been walking like this for more than ten days, did not encounter any trouble, which was a pity for him.

Returning to the old town again, he planned to make some preparations here and get some magic knowledge from Bachelor Qyburn before going out.

The streets of the old town were still bustling, and Gavin shuttled through them. Soon he came to the hotel where he had stayed before, opened a room, stored everything in the room, and ordered the Blood Dragon Guard to guard it, and then headed to the school city.

"Bachelor Qianben was expelled from the city? When did it happen?" Gavin was very surprised when he heard the news. Unexpectedly, Cobain would be exposed less than a month after he left. I don’t know if this is the time when Qyburn was expelled from the Citadel in the original plot, or is it the butterfly effect caused by him coming to this world?

"Just ten days ago, the city discovered that he was secretly doing some inhumane experiments, so it deprived him of his bachelor's chain and kicked him out. Fortunately, you left. If you had still studied with him at that time, you would have It will be investigated, and the time to create the chain may be postponed." Bachelor Michu also lamented Gavin's luck.

Gavin took out a few golden dragons from his arms and handed them to Bachelor Michu. "I wonder if you know where Qyburn went after he was expelled from the school?"

Master Mixiu skillfully put the golden dragon into his pocket and thought for a while, then said, "I heard that he was active in the Port Street area, treating the injuries of the mercenaries who came and went to make money." Thinking that Gavin was reluctant to give up Coben's knowledge, Mixiu hurriedly said, "But don't worry, I can arrange other bachelors for you. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."

Gavin shook his head and said, "No need, Master Mixiu, in fact, I am here this time to resign as an assistant bachelor. I plan to go out and travel."

"That's a pity, Gavin, your medical level is very good. But your situation happens every year. If you really decide, I will help you with the procedures."

"Then trouble you, Master Mixiu." Gavin said politely.

After leaving the academy, Gavin went straight to the Port Street. After spending some money to inquire, he learned that Coben had left here three days ago. It is said that he boarded the ship with a team of mercenaries, and no one knows where he went.

Gavin was helpless and planned to go back to the hotel to prepare medicine. When he passed by Old John's Tavern, he met an acquaintance, Luca, whom he had treated before.
