Chapter 18, Hein Rikay
Arthur, who hopes for world peace and creates a better future, is working hard for it.
But there is no way to reverse the general trend, most things can't be done, in fact, it can be attributed to the fact that Goldfinger is not against the sky enough, except for the time when Joffrey burned the witch to make the attribute page activate, for so long, it has not reacted.
You can't level up, you can't add points, you can't learn skills, you can't post tasks, you can't communicate......
Fortunately, he is a down-to-earth person, and the gold finger is a decoration that can also learn everything needed with his heart, and strengthen himself by his own efforts.
The individual strength was not enough, so he made up in groups, and under the offensive of almost spending all the money he earned, he recruited 300 mercenaries!
Although it is an external force, it is a force that can cope with the crisis!
Basically maintaining two points and one line from the bedroom to the Prime Minister's Tower and the workshop outside the city every day, Arthur silently reads, practices swords, researches and crafts objects that can determine the future, and carries out the most conducive to the development of hibernation!
......
The prosperity of King's Landing is easy to fool.
Sansa Stark, who loves beautiful clothes, beautiful songs, heroic deeds and handsome knights, has reached the age of puberty, and as a traditional Vislot lady, she loves the handsome Crown Prince Joffrey, and dreams of becoming a woman by the emperor's side, a noble queen.
Life in the imperial capital is colorful, and the eldest lady of the Stark family, who has lost her little wolf, is unknowingly blinded by the glitz here.
......
With a lot of trouble caused by jousting tournaments, being prime minister, and taking over the mess of the Empire, Eddard Stark is more irritated than ever at every royal meeting.
Since Arthur's attack, King's Landing has become more and more chaotic, and the King's Landing garrison, Genos, the golden-robed chief, has reported a bad thing about the tournament.
"It's the Emperor's jousting tournament!" Eddard was really annoyed by Robert's jousting tournament, "I promise, the Prime Minister has nothing to do with it!"
Genos Slint said businesslikely, "Lord Stark, you can call it however you want, the city is already packed, and more are pouring in every day, and last night there was another tavern riot, a women's branch was on fire, three knives and weapons were fighting, and a drunken horse rushed to Nun Street. ”
Varys: "It's scary. ”
Lan Li had already seen that Genos was not pleasing to the eye, and said contemptuously: "If you can't maintain the order of King's Landing, maybe you should change someone to be the head of the city management."
However, Genos was promoted to the head of the golden robe by Emperor Robert, and he was not afraid of Lan Li's threat: "I need more men. ”
Ed said helplessly, "You'll get 50 people, and Lord Baesh will pay the bill." ”
Littlefinger was stunned when he heard this, obviously the Stark family has made a lot of money recently, why did he still ask me to pay the bill: "Me?"
"If you find money to fill the pockets of champions, you must also find money to keep order. At the mention of money, Ed was upset that he borrowed a huge amount of money from the Iron Vault and the Lannisters, "I'm going to draw 20 people from my personal guard to you until the crowd disperses." ”
"Thank you very much, Prime Minister, they will definitely come in handy. Genos bowed and left.
Ed was disgusted by the Voust Conference: "The sooner this is over, the better." ”
Varys said sharply, "My lord, such events can make the empire more prosperous, for the nobles, it is a great opportunity to claim glory, and for the commoners, it will also take a break to recuperate, so that every inn in the city will be full of guests." ”
Littlefinger laughed: "The female branch girls are so tired that they can't straighten their legs"
Hearing this, Eddard, who still likes his wife, said in displeasure, "I'm sure the conference will fill someone's pockets with gold coins." ”
Nothing else, the meeting ended, and Ranley, Varys, and Littlefinger all left in unison, but Ed stopped Paiselle, a stumbling college scholar who was complaining about the heat, and asked him about former Prime Minister Jon Arryn,
"Hmm... His death was a devastating blow to us, I personally participated in his treatment, but could not save him, the disease attacked him too cruelly and too quickly, I had seen him in my room the night before he died, and Lord Jon often came to consult with me. ”
Paischer, who had already thrown himself into the Lannisters and seemed to be old and confused, but was actually very cunning, was full of perfunctory mouths.
However, Eddard also said that he had caught the point of his deliberate cover-up, and that the confused Paisel had failed to sell the old man, and told him that Jon Arryn had found a book the night before he died.
Then the bachelor, who was forced to ask helplessly, had no choice but to take out the book, which contained the descriptions of many great lords and their wives and heirs - "The Genealogy and History of the Seven Nobles of the Empire"!
Eddard Stark is a pure soldier, and a knight of integrity, loyalty, and honor, but in terms of intrigue, he is too far behind this bad old man, revealing Jon Arryn's "caste toughness" before his death, which induces him to speculate that Jon Arryn was poisoned and killed.
Hearing this, Paisher hurriedly denied it: "This idea is really chilling, no, no, no, I think it's unlikely, everyone respects the Prime Minister, what kind of person dares..."
Ed never dispelled Lannister's suspicions: "I've heard people say that poison is a woman's weapon. ”
"That's right, woman... Coward... And eunuchs. Paisher tried to confuse the Imperial Intelligence Minister, "Did you know that Lord Varys is a eunuch?"
What he believed was not so easily shaken, but Eddard was still suspicious of the octopus as Paisel had hoped.
......
In the workshop outside the city, the workers were arranged to complete the improvement of the paper, and they were also instructed to buy food and tools for preparing wine, and for a moment they observed the moldy rotten bread, and there was nothing to do at hand, Arthur was a little dazed for a while.
"You seem to be quite idle today, do you want to go out for a walk?" looked at Arthur who was sitting in a daze, and Uncle Anne's illegitimate son Chris, said, "It's almost time for the tournament, and the city is very lively." ”
"Forget it. "Arthur doesn't like to be too busy, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen a career as a librarian in his previous life.
"Why don't we practice swords for a while?"
"Do you want to learn swordsmanship?" Chris was stunned when he heard this, and nodded, "No problem. ”
As the business grew, all the areas were bought, and three hundred people were guarded around, basically not afraid of anyone with ulterior motives, find a relatively clean open space and two practice swords, and Arthur will hold the sword and get ready.
Chris looked at him with a serious look and a decent posture, which was really very different from the image of the versatile future bachelor he had seen.
As soon as he thought of this, he had to test Arthur's skills: "Attack it." ”
"You're careful!"
Although Arthur is a young boy who is less than thirteen years old, he used to be weak and weak, but during this period of time, he has developed well, eaten well and exercised regularly, and his body has grown very quickly, and he has jumped to a height of more than one meter and six.
After Anne's patient teaching, he has a good learning ability, and his swordsmanship has now reached the elementary level, and when his momentum comes up, he has a tiger attack.
"Not bad, but you don't have enough strength. As soon as they fought, Chris knew what Arthur's shortcomings were, easily parried his slash, and advanced a dash that knocked him to the ground.
Then he asked, "Your swordsmanship was taught by Anne, right?"
Arthur got up and replied, "Yes, I practice with her often." ”
Chris shook his head: "No wonder the strength is not enough, you must know that the enemy cannot always be a powerless girl, skills alone will not do." ”
"Now it's my turn to attack, and take a feel for the bravery you lack. ”
