Chapter 114, Benefits (Ask for Subscription ~!!)
There is no fiefdom, no manpower, no capital, and no chance of development.
The best way to deal with the Wraiths is to unite all the forces and have all the nobles of Westeros join forces to send troops north to support the Wall.
The idea of finding the famous Randolph Tully as an ally was correct.
Hearing the prince's plan, Dr. Ryan immediately informed the Earl of Hornling.
Although he didn't know much, the old man was a learned old man, and through the analysis of people's hearts and the situation, he quickly told the young man how to persuade the most effective.
The White Harbor in the north is being rebuilt, the Great Wall is short of supplies, and everything needs money.
The amount of 40,000 gold dragons can solve most problems.
With Arthur's consent, Dr. Ryan packed his luggage and soon set off for the port with his assistant, the golden dragon, and the guards recruited from the workshop outside the school.
After sending off the old doctor, with dozens of golden dragons hidden in his pocket, Arthur was not in a hurry to leave the school city and go to the Horn Tomb and the Tower of Babel.
Instead, they plunged headlong into the library, hoping to find magic books to learn spells!
However...
After looking for a long time, I learned from the librarian.
There are no books on magic and the occult in the Academy's School City, and these books are all placed in the Tower of Babel in the Old Town!
Arthur could only rest in the hotel for one night, then obediently bid farewell to the academy and continue his journey.
Natalie sells books among the royal realms.
One night I hurriedly bought books from the Institute of Knowledge as goods.
When the morning light dawned, the morning fog did not dissipate, so he got up early to dress up, and then made breakfast for the prince in the kitchen of the hotel, and then accompanied the boy to leave the school city.
"As far as I know, books are better bought in big cities like King's Landing, and not many people in most villages and towns in the Imperial Territory can afford to buy them. ”
Although Selena is a mercenary, she only knows a few words, and she doesn't have much culture, but she is well aware of the purchasing power of the civilians of Westeros.
Listening to the words of the mercenary behind him, Arthur shook his head helplessly, and said to the aristocratic girl next to him who looked more and more like Natalie Portman: "You don't have to be like this. ”
"It's necessary!" Natalie Gilbert, who heard this, had a serious face, "Didn't Your Highness say that happiness can be fought for?"
Arthur: "We've only known each other for a few days. ”
"It doesn't matter how long you've known each other, Your Highness is much better than those who can only talk and have no one in their eyes, handsome, brave, skilled in swordsmanship, erudite, can sing, can play the harp, and have adventured in Essos......"
The eyes of the aristocratic girl who said these words were sparkling, full of admiration and admiration.
"Are you sure it's me?" Arthur was complimented uncomfortably.
"It's Your Highness!" said Natalie, who looked soft and weak, but had a strong heart, "So I'm pursuing Your Highness!"
Arthur, who didn't want to marry a wife so early, suddenly shook his head: "But I don't think we're here yet." ”
The girl who bravely chased her love smiled like a flower: "It's okay, I can wait!"
Selena snorted disdainfully when she heard this.
felt that she was too ambitious and scheming, and saw that the prince rarely contacted women, and now she had no rivals, and wanted to confirm the relationship as soon as possible and obtain the qualification to compete for the princess.
After all, when the prince returned to the north, with the emperor, the prime minister, and the two princes of Ryan and Varian watching, as well as Hainlikai and Anne to check the gates, this scheming girl would definitely not have any chance.
Natalie understands that it's not good to be too entangled with Arthur.
Expressing her intentions, she was silent for a moment and immediately changed the topic, talking about what she had seen and heard in the school city: "By the way, Your Highness, I secretly saw a doctor doing alchemy experiments in the academy.
I don't know what he put in the glass bottle, but it exploded all of a sudden, but it was scary, and then I asked Laressa, and it turned out that the doctor wanted to stabilize the green fire through experiments. ”
The topic of "Green Fire?" successfully diverted the attention of the teenager and aroused his interest.
He hurriedly asked, "What's the doctor's name?"
"Sorry, I forgot what it was called. Natalie distressed, "But when I get back, I can write to ask." ”
"I also found other interesting facts in the academy......"
Looking at the teenagers and girls who were talking and laughing again, Selena was very speechless, and it was too easy to deceive the young prince in her heart.
actually asked Natalie to talk for a few sentences, and the rigid relationship was resolved.
Sure enough, when Emperor Robert and Crown Prince Ryan invited the young man to the women's branch, she should not have sided with the sneering Hainlikay, but supported Arthur to be happy!
The sun went from lazily spilling down to radiating heat and violently, falling from exhaustion unconsciously, and rising vigorously the next day.
Time was in a hurry, and the group soon arrived at the Rose Avenue.
Although she did not like the ambitious and scheming Miss Gilbert, the aristocratic girl did not hate it.
Looking at Natalie, who was reluctant to follow the boy, Selena couldn't hate it, and she was embarrassed to drive away the friends recognized by the prince.
only reminded: "The way forward is to go to the High Court, and you still have to manage the manor and the caravan, go back." ”
"Actually, I really want to leave those annoying things behind and follow you until I am old. Hearing the mercenary's words, Natalie's eyes reddened.
The sun in the sky shyly hid behind the clouds, quietly paying attention to the pedestrians on the ground.
"Young man, this is an infatuated and pure girl, you should not refuse her affection so ruthlessly. ”
The convoy was parked on the side of the road, and the Rose Avenue was not crowded with people, but caravans and travelers were present from time to time.
Seeing two young men and girls sitting on horseback, as if they were about to say goodbye, the passer-by in brown robes couldn't help but speak.
Looking at the familiar dress of this person, it is clear that he is a monk of the Church of the Seven Gods.
Thinking that the prince had given them money, and then did not eat well and sleep well for several days in a row, Selena, who recognized the identity of the traveler, suddenly said unhappily: "Go your way, don't be nosy!"
"What did you say?!"
"Pay attention to your attitude, this is a monk who walks the world on behalf of the Seven Gods!"
Hearing this, the talkative brown-clothed monk did not speak, but the two men in tattered and coarse shirts beside him let out a loud shout.
The monk shook his head, waved his hand to calm down the two men beside him, and said to Selena, who was carrying a big sword, "You are dressed like a mercenary, and most of that young man also looks like a mercenary, but your true identity is not simple, right?"
Selena snorted coldly, stared at the three of them unhappily for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "We have seen many monks from the Seven Gods Church in the Imperial Territory, but none of them are as talkative as you.
You know there are some things you can't talk nonsense. ”
The monk nodded, his eyes flashing with thought, and his face showed apologies: "Please allow me to apologize for my many words, because this caravan with the swan insignia has generously supported our church and helped many of the faithful.
I also have a relationship with this young lady.,So when I see that she has someone I like.,I can't help but want to help.,If you offend, please forgive me.。 ”
"No, it won't. Seeing that the person who spoke for her was a monk, Natalie hurriedly dismounted, "I remember that you were Brother Mars. ”
The brown-robed monk smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you here, Miss Gilbert." ”
Seeing this, the young man also dismounted, and greeted politely: "Hello, I am Arthur." ”
"Arthur?" The monk who heard the words was a little surprised, looked at the female mercenary with the big sword on his back, and suddenly looked abrupt, and immediately saluted: "Mars has seen His Royal Highness Arthur Holy Laurain. ”
