Chapter Twenty-Six: The Eagle's Nest City is as Hard as Reaching the Sky

On the last day, Han Xing returned to his mansion in Ganquan Village and obtained his custom-made shield from the blacksmith shop, a kite-shaped shield, with a wooden middle painted with blue paint and a ring of iron reinforcement nailed around the edge.

When Han Xing came to the church in Wetzlar, Father Eugen did not seem surprised by his arrival, and when he saw that he was carrying the pendant he gave him, he smiled and nodded, "May God bless you, child!" As he spoke, he drew a cross in front of him.

Han Xing entered the confessional room and was about to enter the next world, when suddenly there was a quick knock on the door, as well as the characteristic voice of the red-haired boy Roy, "Uncle Hanschel, take me with you!" Uncle Hanschel! ”

Han Xing reluctantly opened the door and looked at Roy's slightly immature face, "You are still too young, the world I went to this time is too dangerous, you better stay obediently." As he spoke, he stroked the red hair of the seventeen-year-old boy.

"Please, take me, Uncle Hanschel, I can ride horses, and I learned archery from Uncle Hansen, and I can not only protect myself, but also help you." The red-haired boy pleaded. Obviously, this period of devil training also brought Roy a lot of benefits, and Sir Hansen's unique skills made him learn 3 or 4 percent.

But for the sake of his safety, Han Xing still decided not to take him there, and he resolutely locked Roy out of the door, ignoring the pleading of the red-haired boy.

Han Xing opened the taskbar and pressed "Yes" on the "Yes/No to enter the plot world" button.

But coldly heard the prompt of the space, "Your servant Roy Dunbar voluntarily followed you into the plot world." ”

"Confirmation is underway ••••••• formation of a squad."

When Han Xing opened his eyes, he found himself on a winding dirt road, the dirt was fertile black, and the rut marks on the ground and the footprints of livestock indicated that this was a thriving transportation artery.

He was riding on the back of the "Den", wearing a blue cotton coat with a cloak of the same color tied around his shoulders, and a white swallow on the cloak and the mouth of the cloak. The elven sword was pinned to his waist, dressed as a traveler.

And what made him cry and laugh was that on his right, on the back of a yellow white-haired horse, the red-haired Roy was looking at him with blinking eyes, "If you come, you will be safe", and Han Xing couldn't say anything else.

To see what the taskbar displays:

Mission 1: Help Robert Baratheon overthrow House Targaryen's rule, win the War of the Revenators, and witness Robert's coronation. The mandate is for a period of 5 years. Completing rewards 5000 survival points. Failure is directly obliterated.

Mission 2: (Optional) Form a friendship with either Robert Baratheon or Eddard Stark. (Relationship reaches 100)

Each person will be rewarded with 2,500 survival points, and an additional 1,000 survival points will be awarded if they have a strong friendship with both of them.

Current Relationship: Robert (10) Ed (10)

Mission 3: (Optional) Obtain a Valyrian Steel Sword. Completion Reward: 2000 Survival Points.

Hidden Mission: World Quest (visible for the title of Conquistador): Become the owner of the Iron Throne and defeat the Night King by destroying the Wraiths.

Overall, these quests are rewarding, and although the failure of the first quest will be wiped out, as the protagonist's side, it can be said that it is completely a tailwind, as long as Robert is protected. As for the optional mission, the second Han Xing is determined to win. The third one can be tried, the world mission, Han Xing can only stick out his tongue, just take a look.

According to the explanation of Ali and others, survival points can be used to purchase skill upgrades and proficiency upgrades, and they can also increase attributes, but 10,000 points are not consumed by Han Xing at all.

Of course, buying various items in the mall is also a way, for most of the nobles in the space to use their precious survival points to buy daily necessities, cleaning supplies, Ali and the other three are scolding "losers", but the prices of these items in the mall are usually in single digits, which is quite affordable.

This time, the identities of Han Xing and Roy are ridiculous, Roy's identity is a side branch of the Tully family, who came to Arryn Valley as an adopted son, but he became a knight of the Riverlands, and was sent to protect Young Master Roy Tully, and the white delphinium pattern on his cloak is his family crest. He was chosen because his family originated in the valley (as can be seen from the coat of arms).

So Roy and Han Xing's identities have a big reversal, but fortunately, Roy originally called Han Xing "Uncle Hanschel", which is not surprising.

Not far away, a white castle looming in the clouds and mist, perched on top of the mountains, appeared in the field of vision of the two. The castle has seven striking white towers, which are like bridges between heaven and earth due to the fact that it is located on a towering mountain.

This castle is the destination of the two, the Eagle's Nest City, where the Arryn family has lived for generations.

Eagle's Nest is definitely the smallest famous city on the continent of Westeros, it is located at the peak of the Bright Moon Mountains, if you want to enter Eagle's Nest City, there is only a dangerous mountain road "Giant's Spear", and therefore, Eagle's Nest City is considered to be an immortal city. Eagle's Nest City has 3 lines of defense, Dangerous Rock Fort, Snow Mountain Fort, and Changtian Fort, which must be conquered one by one in order to attack Eagle's Nest City.

Of course, more importantly, Eagle's Nest, which is relatively small and can't even be cultivated with fish beams, has a large granary that is comparable to that of Winterfell in the world.

If you count the Blood Gate and Moon Gate Fort behind Han Xing and Roy, then there are at least five lines of defense in Eagle's Nest City, and as an unbreakable barrier of the Heroic Era, the Blood Gate has a transcendent status like the Hangu Pass of the Celestial Empire.

Fortunately for Han Xing, at least they didn't have to travel all the way from Riverrun City, otherwise even the Alpine Clan before entering the valley would be able to give the two of them a good look.

When the two of them rode to the Moon Gate Fort, Han Xing opened his mouth and said to the guards on the city wall: "I am Sir Hanschel Segard, who is loyal to the Tully family, and this one by my side is Young Master Roy of the Tully family, who has come to the Arryn Valley to be the adopted son of Lord Jon Arryn. In fact, Han Xing didn't know the bottom in his heart, God knows if the identity of the space arrangement is useful.

Unexpectedly, this time Han Xing didn't eat the closed door again, and the other side opened the door very happily to let them in, and a small leader-like person greeted them personally, saying that Lord Jon Arryn had received a letter from Duke Horst Tully, instructing them to let them go when they met them, and send someone to escort them to Eagle's Nest City.

Perhaps because Han Xing has the title of "Native Chieftain", the squad leader who calls himself Barry decides to escort them personally with a smile on his face.

Seeing the two of them riding horses, he immediately hurried: "The road leading to Eagle's Nest City is narrow and thrilling, and it is absolutely impossible to ride a horse, if you want to ride, you have to ride a mule." Han Xing had no problem with this, so he dismounted and changed into a mule, and followed Barry to the steps leading to the Dangerous Rock Fort. It is worth mentioning that the head of the stable, an old man with a long gray beard, has repeatedly stated that their horses will be properly cared for.

The three of them came out of the Moon Gate Fort and stepped on the steps to the Dangerous Rock Fort, the road here was only for two or three mules to walk in parallel, but fortunately, these mules were probably trained to go up and down the Eagle's Nest City, and it was safe to climb the steps.

With Barry calling the door, they easily entered the Rock Fortress, which was defended by a stone wall full of iron nails, and after changing to a new mule and taking a few sips of water and food, the three of them continued their march towards the Snow Mountain Fort along the "Giant's Spear".

This section of the road has become steeper, and the trees on both sides of the road have become sparse. However, the steps on the ground are still intact, presumably thanks to Jon Arryn. If there was anything they should be grateful for, it was that they at least didn't have to walk up the hill at night like Lady Caitlyn, and that it was noon, and there was no cold wind on the mountain.

When the three of them came to Changtian Castle, they had a feeling of the rest of their lives, and they couldn't wait to hug each other and cry, which was even more exciting than a roller coaster. It was already afternoon at this time, and the last part of the road was thrilling and perverted, yes, it was the one in the original book that scared Caitlyn so much that she couldn't walk, thinking she was dead, "about 20 feet long, about three feet wide, and an abyss on both sides." "The road.

The damn road squandered much respect and gratitude they had for Jon Arryn, cursing hatefully at him for not repairing the road up the hill, at least by putting guardrails on both sides. Could it be that the Arryn family, who had been entrenched in the valley for hundreds of years, were not willing to spend even a dime to widen and repair the road?

However, leaving the Long Sky Castle, the last section of the road to Eagle's Nest City made the three of them want to cry without tears, and the almost vertical stone wall artificially carved out something that could be called a "road" like a ladder, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it a stone ladder, and the two of them will have to "climb" up with their hands and feet.

The road seemed to say, "Prostrate, prostrate at the feet of the great House of Arryn!" Humble mortals! "I don't think there will be any king who will come here to bring shame on himself.

Barry went back with the mule, but fortunately the people of the Arryn family knew how to "be flexible" and put down a basket (the ancient version of the elevator, which was actually used to transport goods), so that the two could be pulled up in two parts, otherwise the two would really have to "climb" to the Eagle's Nest.

When the two of them finally entered the Eagle's Nest City through the winch room and along the spiral staircase, there was only a trace of afterglow left in the sunset.

This Eagle's Nest City is really difficult to climb, it is comparable to the Huashan Mountain of the Celestial Empire, coupled with the neglect of the Erin family's maintenance intentionally or unintentionally, every time you go to the Eagle's Nest City, it makes people feel like going to the ghost gate to go around.

This Eagle's Nest really makes people not want to go to it again!

After climbing the Eagle's Nest City, Han Xing admired not the Erin family the most, but the craftsmen who built this castle, God knows how they went through layers of hardships to transport those stones up the mountain! Maybe the Arryn family has stipulated that everyone who goes up the mountain must bring a brick?

In fact, Eagle's Nest is an otaku paradise, it takes almost half a day to go up the mountain, and the descent may be a little faster, but unless you can fly or jump straight down, it won't be much faster, and living here, you can definitely guarantee yourself isolation from the world. Presumably, this is the reason why Lysa Tully dared to take his son to the player's squatting.

Frankly speaking, Han Xing didn't even think that anyone would be stupid enough to attack the city, after all, wearing armor couldn't protect the damage of falling from a height, at most, it was just turning people into canned meat, not to mention the bows and arrows and stones of the defenders? I'm afraid that even if a reward of 1,000 gold dragons is offered, except for the mercenaries who regard wealth as their fate, no smart person will be willing to participate in the attack on Eagle's Nest City, this is simply suicide!

Eagle's Nest is a better place to be a prison than a castle, in fact, you will never find a better place to be a prison in Westeros, Arryn's prison even encourages prisoners to escape, yes, their prison is open-air, if you want to escape, just take a leap to the terrace, maybe you will have plenty of time to think about your loved ones on the way.

Compared to Arryn's prison, King's Landing's Black Prison is like the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, and although you can't see a ray of light in it, you don't have to worry about suddenly waking up in the air while sleeping!

The guards brought the two to an elderly man with gray hair and broad shoulders, who was none other than Jon Arryn, the Duke of Eagle's Nest.

Perhaps because of his old age and childlessness, Westeros's extended family is keen to give him an adopted son, unlike the Celestial Empire culture, it seems to be very popular to send an adopted son in Westeros, but the adopted son has no inheritance rights, and is more similar to the role of a student and hostage in custody. Theon Greyjoy, for example.

He kindly took Roy's hand and said kindly, "Your name is Roy, right?" I've received a letter from Duke Horst Tully, I'm your adoptive father from now on, and the Eagle's Nest is your home, and by the way, you have two older brothers, Robert and Ned..."
