Count Ulle, who had a typical desert face, looked at Chen Cheng's appearance with some surprise, and said, "There have been people who have crossed the sea from Mill or Telosi to Dorne before, but you are not like them. ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I'm from the Central Country. ”

"Hey, didn't you say you were from the City of Porcelain?" Nemelia frowned, "How did it become the Central Country again?" ”

"That's a long story, to put it simply, Chinese people think they live in the center of the world, so they call themselves the central country."

Count Ulle laughed, "Self-thought? In other words, it is not the center of the world. ”

"Whether it is the center of the world or not depends on the change in strength. If it can lead the world, command the world, and change the world, it is of course the central country, and if it can't do that, it will naturally no longer be the center of the world. ”

"Does everything depend on the change of strength?" Count Ulle and his brother looked at each other with a thoughtful expression on their faces, "Stranger, Fort Prison will warmly welcome all who come to visit. We have the best drinks and the prettiest girls. I see that you are so tall, and your martial arts should be very good, if you can prove your strength, I will treat you as a guest and give you a lot of money every month, how about it? ”

On the continent of Westeros, knights are the most important fighting force, riding horses, wearing iron armor, and carrying spears and swords, roaming the battlefield. Because Dorne is in the desert and the weather is too hot, they don't like to fight in heavy iron armor, and the Dorne people prefer to be light and fast, but the princes from all over the world still like to recruit some knights as a supplement to their strength.

In actual combat, knights in iron armor can be inferior to several Dorne warriors. The most important thing is that the knight is an outsider, and he can only be attached to the feudal lords in various places, and it will be more reassuring to use it to watch the family nursing home. In these dark times, betrayal and murder abound, and sometimes, it is the strangers who are more trustworthy.

Moreover, sometimes it is better for outsiders to do something that is not visible. After using it, you can extinguish your mouth, even if you don't extinguish your mouth, will others believe what a stranger says?

Hearing that Count Ulle wanted to recruit the stranger in front of him, Nellia's eyes lit up with joy, "Father, Chen is a powerful warrior, you can find someone to compete with him now!" ”

Count Uller didn't drag the mud and water, and casually pointed to one of the guards and said, "You come and try it with Chen." ”

The samurai was dark-skinned, and he turned out to be a black man. Heading east from Westeros, across the Narrow Sea, through the Lands of Discord and the Sea of Dothrak, is the Bay of Slaves, founded by the Valyrians of the past. The slave trade was so famous that it was able to sell blacks to Dorne's side.

This black warrior was a descendant of slaves, but because of his martial prowess, he was now the Count of Ulle's bodyguard. His body was very strong, and when he heard this, he walked out, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and said to Chen Cheng, "What weapon do you want to use?" Machete or longsword? ”

Chen Cheng said: "Long sword, I don't use this thing much, and it's not very suitable for foot combat." ”

"Give him a long sword!" The black samurai sneered, "You actually said that the scimitar is not suitable for foot combat? We'll let you know if it's suitable or not! ”

The attendant brought a sword, and Chen Cheng took it. The color and texture of the blade are beautiful, and the Westeros of this world is a bit like medieval England, but there are also a lot of good things. After all, this is a world with dragon river magic. The sword he held in his hand was not very good in casting, but the quality was really good, even comparable to the "crafts" he bought online.

"Okay, no?"

The black warrior said impatiently, "I'm going to attack!" ”

Chen Cheng shook his wrist, raised his sword in front of him, and said, "Come on!" Show....... Your martial arts! ”

"Humph!"

The black warrior was a little dismissive of Chen Cheng on the surface, but he was very nervous in his heart. A true master can see a lot of things from the subtle movements of the other party. The other party is tall and his muscles bulge one by one, which means that he has a lot of strength. And the hand holding the sword was very steady, and there was hardly a trace of trembling.

Ordinary people, even after long-term training, when holding the weapon, their wrists and arms were moving slightly, but Chen Cheng's wrist holding the sword could not see any tremor at all. When the black samurai saw this, he was very wary, but he did not think that he would definitely lose.

For those who practice martial arts, the most important thing is to be courageous, and to use a not-so-nice way of saying it, it is necessary to be "reckless". Even if there is a beast on the other side, then you have to fight it, maybe you will win?

The black man shouted, and slashed at him with his knife. The scimitar is an effective weapon against unarmored units, and its own arc is conducive to slashing through the flesh and easily pulling out the blade without breaking or getting stuck. But no matter how good this black warrior's martial arts were and how sharp the weapons in his hands were, how could he pose any threat to Chen Cheng?

The long sword came first, swinging the scimitar, Chen Cheng took half a step forward, the blade slashed down, and when he slashed into the opponent's body, he turned ninety degrees, allowing the sword spine to slap on the opponent's shoulder. His movements were so simple and swift that everyone could see that he was at ease.

"Very good, Chen, your martial arts are very strong, even if you put it in King's Landing, you can have a place." Count Ulle said: "In the future, you will be the guest of honor of our Ulle family, money and beauty, you can have everything you want." Normally, you don't have to worry about anything, I'll let Nymelia go to you if something happens! ”

After Nymeria led Chen Cheng out of the castle, Haman Uller said to Ulric, "This stranger is good-looking and majestic. ”

Ulric said, "I'm afraid he was sent by King's Landing." ”

Haman laughed, "Even if King's Landing wants to send a spy, then he should go to Halberd City, what are you doing in our Prison Gate Fort?" Besides, Robert is dead, who else can pose a threat to us in Dorne? ”

Ulric also felt that a person like Chen Cheng could not be a spy, if it was really someone from King's Landing, how could there be no news at all? He only sensed the aura of danger from Chen Cheng's body, obviously the other party seemed to have a gentle smile, but when the other party was by his side, he just felt as if there was a scimitar against his back.

It was the instinct of a warrior who had been fighting for decades, and this instinct had saved his life many times over the years, so he believed that Chen must have some amazing secret on him. But who doesn't have a secret? There is never a shortage of secrets here at Hellgate.

When Chen Cheng had a house in Fort Prison Gate, he was going to stop and live for a while. On the distant continent of Essos, the last Targaryen, Daenerys of the "Stormborn" is continuing to chat with her knights.

"My hometown...... You have to know this before you can understand the rest. Bear Island is beautiful, but it's remote. Imagine the intertwined old oak trees and towering pines, the flowering hawthorn forests, the gray stones covered with moss, the small rivers running through the steep hills, and the clear water. The hall of the Mormont family was made of huge timber and surrounded by earthen hedges. With the exception of a few sharecroppers, my people all lived by the sea and made a living from fishing. Kalishi, Bear Island is located in the far north, where the winters can be harsh beyond your imagination. ”

"Even so, I'm used to living on Bear Island. I have never been short of women, and I have relationships with many fisherwomen and peasant girls, both before and after marriage. I got married very early, and my father chose the bride, and she was a girl from the Glover family in Deepwoodburg. We got married...... For about ten years, she had a mediocre appearance, but no bad personality. I guess I loved her later, even though our relationship was more like a duty than a true relationship. In order to give birth to an heir for me, she had three miscarriages, the last of which never recovered, and died soon after. ”

Daenerys took his hand lightly and squeezed his fingers. "I feel sorry for you, really."

Ser Jorah nodded, "It wasn't long before my father joined the Blackshirts, and I became Lord of Bear Island. There were many people who came to propose, and before I could make a final decision, King Balon Greyjoy raised an army against the 'usurper', and Ned Stark rallied his vassals to his aid to his friend Robert. The final battle took place under Pike, and when Robert's trebuchet smashed a crack in King Baron's wall, a Mill monk rushed in, and I was not left behind. For this reason, I am knighted. ”

To celebrate the victory, Robert issued an edict to hold a jousting tournament outside Lannishavn. That's where I met Lineth. She was half my age at the time, and she and her father had traveled from Old Town to watch their brothers' jostling. I couldn't take my eyes off her. On impulse, I begged her to give me a token to fight for her. I never dreamed that she would say yes, but she agreed. ”

"Kalixi, my martial arts are not inferior to anyone, but we northerners have never been good at martial arts. It's just that I, who has a token of Lynnice tied to my arm, has completely changed. Spear tournament after spear battle, I came home with a lot of victories, Master Jason Mellister was picked off by me, and Jon Royce 'Bronze' was no match for me. Sir Lyman Frey, his brother Sir Hosting, Lord River An, the 'Mighty Pig', and even Ser Beros Braun of the Kingsguard, were all defeated by me and fell from their horses. In the final match, I played James Lannister nine times without a win, and in the end, King Robert awarded me the winning crown. I put a crown of love and beauty on Lyneth and were completely immersed in wine and glory. I got drunk and went to propose to her father that night. I was worried that I would be rejected mercilessly, but I didn't expect Lord Layton to agree to the marriage. So we got married in Lannisham, and for two weeks we were the happiest man in the world. ”

"Only two weeks?" Dani asked. Even the happy times I spent with Drogo were longer than his, ah, my Drogo, my sun and stars.

"The boat ride back to Bear Island from Lannisport takes exactly two weeks. Lynnice was disillusioned with my hometown, it was too cold, too wet, and too remote, and my home was nothing more than a wooden hall. We don't have masquerade, no mime, no lavish dinners. It would take years for a singer to come and sing, and there wasn't even a goldsmith on the island. Every meal was a torment for her, for my chef knew very little anything other than roast meat and soup, and Lynnice soon grew tired of eating fish and venison. ”

"I was alive and wanted to see her happy, so I hired a new cook from Old Town and a harpist from Lannisport. Goldsmith, jeweler, dresser, I can do whatever she wants, but nothing is enough. Bear Island is rich in wild bears and timber, but other resources are quite scarce. I built a great ship and sailed with her to Lannisport and Old Town, and went about to festivals and feasts, and on one occasion even as far as Braavos, where I borrowed a great sum. I won her laughter and heart as a tournament champion, so I continued to participate in tournaments for her, but the magic was gone, and I never won again. Each defeat means the loss of a horse and a suit of armor, which must be redeemed or replaced. I couldn't stand the expense, so I finally insisted on going home, but when I got home, it got worse and worse. I couldn't pay my cook and harpist, and when Lynnice heard that I was interested in pawning her jewelry, she flew into a rage. ”

Later........ I did a lot of things I was ashamed to talk about, all for money, to keep Lyneth's jewelry, harpist, and cook. Finally, I lost everything. When I heard that Eddard Stark was on his way to Bear Island, and had completely lost his sense of honor and was afraid to stay and accept the sanctions, I took her into exile. I told myself: as long as we truly love each other, nothing matters. We fled to Reese, where I sold the ship for gold to live on. ”

His tone was inexplicably sad, and Daenerys really didn't want to force him to continue, but she wanted to know the final result. "That's where she died?" She asked softly.

"For me," he said, "in less than half a year my gold was spent, and I had to become a mercenary." While I was fighting the Braavos on the banks of the Lorne, Lynnice moved into the mansion of the Prince of Trade, Trig O'Mollen. It is said that she is now his most favored concubine, and even his main room is afraid of three points. ”

Daenerys was shocked, "Do you hate her? ”

"Love and hate," replied Sir Jorah, "Your Majesty, let me take my leave, I am tired. ”

She allowed him to leave, but when he lifted the tabernacle, she couldn't resist calling to him and asked one last question: "What do you look like, Lady Lynnice?" ”

Sir Jorah smiled sadly, "Well, she resembles you, Daenerys. He bowed deeply, "Sleep well, my queen." ”

Daenerys trembled and quickly reached out to pull the lionskin tight. Does she look like me? This explained her previous inexplicable premonition. He wanted me, and she suddenly realized that he loved me as much as he loved her, not the love of a knight for a queen, but the affection of a man for a woman. She tried in vain to imagine herself lying in Sir Jorah's arms, kissing him, pleasing him, and letting him into her body. Every time she closed her eyes, he became Drogo.

Drogo Kao was her sun and star, her first, and perhaps last, love. The witch Maid Maz Dur swore that she would never be able to have children again in this life, and who wanted such a wife? And what man can compare to Drogo, who has uncut his hair until his death, and now has the stars as Karatha, galloping in the land of the night?

Listening to Sir Jorah talk about Bear Island, she felt homesick in her words. He'll never get me, but one day I'll get him back home and restore his reputation, at least that's what I can.

After Jorah Mormont withdrew, one of the three dragons on the side moved. Lin Mengchu opened his eyes, and his vertical pupils just saw the back of Sir Jorah leaving.

"A terrible story," she said to herself, "if you want something, just grab it." If Chen Cheng dares to throw me into another woman's palace, I will definitely kill him and arrest him!" ”

Lin Mengchu thought so, but then he felt a surge of sleepiness, and in a half-dream, he seemed to have returned to the home near the school. She was reading on the sofa while Chen Cheng was preparing a meal in the kitchen. The meal was hearty, with sea bass, roast duck, steamed crab, prawns.......

She, or maybe it fell asleep, drooling and dripping.
