Chapter 4 High Valyrian

But Gavin knew that the Tyrell family did not win the war in the end. They just stayed in the camp outside Storm's End for more than a year, until Robert Baratheon defeated Rhaegar Targaryen and ascended the Iron Throne, and the war came to an end.

King Aerys Targaryen, who was originally loyal to the Reach, was brutally killed by his Kingsguard. The former enemy suddenly became the new king. However, the Tyrell family also besieged the king's castle for a whole year, forcing him to The king's brother was forced to live in the castle eating rats. I'm afraid that next, the Tyrell family will have to work non-stop to ease relations with the Iron Throne. According to the timing of the plot, the war is about to end.

Soon Raman walked out quickly with a small jar of goat's milk. First he pinched Gavin's face affectionately, then handed the goat's milk to him. Then he knelt down and looked towards his face with tenderness. A kiss on the pink little face.

Although Gavin felt embarrassed, he did not want to expose any flaws. He could only pretend to be a child and accept it silently. After all, the other party not only gave me money, but also gave me some extra food. And according to Gavin's understanding, the forty-year-old Laman boss's wife still has no children of her own, so he can understand the other party's behavior.

Walking on the path home, Gavin's thoughts were racing, thinking about the plot of this world.

Yes, Gavin had already figured out three years ago that the world he came to was the American TV series "Game of Thrones" he had watched in his previous life.

At first he thought this was the Middle Ages in a parallel world, until three years ago the servants in the castle started talking about it.

Robert Baratheon of Storm's End, Eddard Stark of the North, Hoster Tully of the Riverlands, and Jon Arryn of the Vale jointly launched a rebellion against the Iron Throne. The familiar name and family instantly brought back Gavin's past memories.

It was at this time that his cheap uncle Edmund Cotoin responded to the call and led his troops to High Court. If calculated according to the time of the plot, the war will be over soon.

Gavin, who is well aware of the direction of the plot, is also silently planning his future path deep in his heart. Relying on the unique advantage of foresight, in the future, whether he can successfully cling to the thigh of a high-ranking person, he can naturally get rid of his status as an illegitimate son, which has caused him to be discriminated against, and transform into a noble nobleman.

Just like Bronn in the play. You know, Bronn was originally just a mercenary with a humble background, but he eventually became a real earl.

Moreover, Gavin's own knowledge and technology far exceed the current level of this world. He firmly believes that with these advanced and unique things, he will be able to open up an industry for himself to gain huge wealth.

In addition, Gavin has another area of ​​greater interest, which is magic. In this world, magic definitely exists, and as far as the current situation is concerned, he already has the potential to use magic.

Gavin secretly thought that if he could find a way to study systematically, after the red comet arrived, whether he would become more powerful in magic, whether he could use this to obtain more powerful power, and then pursue more mysterious And something extraordinary? For all this, he was full of expectations and longing.

Suppressing his messy thoughts, Gavin carefully held the small jar of goat's milk and quickly returned home. Inside the house, my mother was lying weakly on the bed, coughing one after another, as if she wanted to cough out her heart and lungs. When Gavin came back, her mother suppressed her physical discomfort, tried her best to smile and greeted him.

Then, the mother struggled to sit up and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's time for us to study." She took out a book from a small box under the bed. The cover of the book was worn and the paper It's made of sheepskin.

A year ago, his mother began to teach him some strange words and languages. Recently this kind of teaching has become more frequent and systematic. But strangely, none of these words and languages ​​belong to the Common Language of Westeros. Gavin also secretly guessed that this might be the language and writing of Essos, after all, that’s where his mother came from. Although he was full of curiosity, he knew that knowledge was extremely valuable and it was not a bad thing to master another language, so he never went to get to the bottom of it.

In the evening, Gavin's teaching was completed. Aerith watched as her intelligent son learned to read and write High Valyrian in just one year. There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and he unconsciously touched the pendant on his chest.

This is a unique pendant, carefully carved from bone. The whole shape is round and oblate, smooth to the touch but with a mysterious coolness. On its surface, there is a hexagonal pattern that stands out. This pattern is strange and weird, as if it contains some ancient and profound secret, and it also seems to be a symbol of mysterious power. Alice's eyes gradually became firm as she touched the pendant, and she seemed to have made up her mind.

Alice gently brushed Gavin's silver hair, her face full of tenderness, and asked softly: "Gavin, have you heard of Valyria?"

Gavin was very surprised that his mother suddenly mentioned this issue. But thinking about what he knew about the plot, he thought for a moment and replied:

"I once heard the maester in the castle tell me that before the Doomsday, the Free Fortress of Valyria was extremely powerful. There were 40 dragon king families who discussed politics together. They had thousands of dragons and conquered most of Erso. However, after the doomsday catastrophe, all the Dragon King families except the Targaryen family have disappeared. Even though the surviving Targaryen family is only a small marginal family among the 40 Dragon King families, their remaining power still succeeded in conquering. Westeros."

Full of doubts, Gavin looked at his mother's silver hair and purple eyes, and then thought about his own similar appearance. He secretly made a guess in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Mother, why did you ask me this question?"

Alice's expression instantly became serious, and she said sternly to Gavin:

"Gavin, in fact, after the Doomsday Catastrophe, not only the Targaryen family survived, but also many Dragon King families were left behind. However, after the Doomsday Catastrophe, the dragons outside also died one after another for unknown reasons, and in the subsequent Bloody Era, Several major city-states rebelled, and the rioting slaves killed many dragon kings who lost their dragons. Only Targaryen, who was hiding on Dragonstone, survived. "

Gavin's eyes widened and he looked at his mother in disbelief, but he was anticipating his guess and waiting for her to continue telling her story.
