Frankly, the tournament is unfair to the people of the North, and we all know that the core activity of the tournament is the horse and gun competition. However, northerners were far less familiar with carbine pistols than southerners, and they were more keen to use weapons such as two-handed broadswords.

For example, the six southern kingdoms are a bit like the French and the Spaniards, and they are places where the pistol tournament is prevalent, with French knights being famous and chivalry in Spain (Don Quixote is a prime example). ）

The people of the north were more like the Germans or the pan-Germanic people, and the Germanic knights preferred two-handed swords to carbines, the most typical of which were the Teutonic knights.

In order to appease the northern realm and the many knights who were not good at carabine joising, the tournament was of course not only a carabine joust, but also a seven-party group joust on a scale comparable to that of a carabine joust, as well as bows and arrows, axe throwing (a typical northern sport), horse racing, and even singing competitions.

In the bright spring sunshine, there are various knights' flags fluttering in the wind on the multicolored hoods.

Among them is the largest and most extravagant tent, on which flutters the three-headed dragon coat of arms representing the Targaryen family. And in front of this royal tent, in front of countless knights and nobles, in front of Aerys II Targaryen, knelt a young blonde man, tall and handsome, with shining blue eyes, dressed in the silver armor of the new Kingsguard, and so on his knees, waiting for the fall of Aerys Targaryen, his face excited, as if he were thrilled to receive this honor.

"I, Jaime of the Lannisters, swear to defend my king with my blood and my life." He said loudly in a categorical voice. This man was none other than James Lannister, who would later be given the disgraceful title of "The Kingkiller".

"In the name of Ser James Lannister, King of the Andorrans, Leuna and the "Forefathers", Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Realm, Ser Aerys II of House Targaryen, you have been appointed as one of the Seven Kingsguards. Aerys said with a smile on his face.

The captain of the Kingsguard, Sir Geralt "White Bull" Hightower, stepped forward from behind Aerys and dressed Jaime in a white robe symbolizing the Kingsguard's status, which meant that Jaime Lannister officially became a member of the Kingsguard, and at the age of 15, Jaime was the youngest member of the Kingsguard.

At this point, he was overjoyed, believing that by joining the Kingsguard, he would be able to avoid his father Tywin's decision to marry Ryza Tully and maintain his underground romance with his sister Cersei.

As everyone knows, how can anyone be the Imperial Guard? Besides, he was only a 15-year-old, which was a ruse by Aerys to try to make Tywin lose his children, and Jaime, a fool, was still complacent.

The nobles of the Westlands who supported House Lannister actually began to cheer that their young master had become one of the glorious "Kingsguards", but luckily Tywin was not here, otherwise he would have been by this group of traitors, knowing that the Kingsguards could not marry and have children.

"Mad King" Aerys enjoyed the cheers of the people, and had a sense of pride in selling others and helping them count the money.

After this farce, the tournament officially began, and the hottest carbaine tournament was to be won by the four sons of Earl Walter Haaan and his younger brother, Oswell Haaan, who could be understood as the champions. And his daughter was the "queen of love and beauty" at the beginning.

In fact, the reason why people are so keen on the tournament is also because there will be a lot of romantic stories in the tournament, such as a certain knight to fight for such and such a lady, if he wins, he can propose to that lady by dedicating the "crown of love and beauty" to that lady, with the power of a great victory, to that lady, almost a hundred attempts are unpleasant.

In other words, the martial arts conference also played the significance of the blind date conference in a sense. The most typical is the love affair between Jorah Mormont and his second wife, the "expensive" woman Lynnice Layton.

At Robert's jousting tournament in Lannister Harbor where Baron Greyjoy was pacified, Jorah saw Lyneth, whom he described as "like a maiden smiling at me".

On the spur of the moment, Jorah begged Linnice to give him a token to fight for her, but he didn't expect Linnice to agree, Linnice who was born in the old town of Layton and his lord of this barren northern island are not people of the same world at all.

As soon as the words came out, Jorah regretted it, feeling that she had brought humiliation on herself, but she didn't expect that his "girl" actually agreed to his request.

With a token of Lyneth strapped to his arm, Jorah fought his way through the pistol tournament that he was not good at, until the final, when after nine rounds of fighting Jaime Lannister, Robert recognized his prowess and bestowed the "crown" on Jorah as the winner. He personally put the "crown of love and beauty" on Lineth's head.

That night, Jorah drank high with the joy of victory, and proposed to Lyneth's father, Earl Layton, but Count Layton readily agreed, and finally achieved a short happy marriage. (Combined with Lyneth's character, I'm afraid that the reason why Earl Leighton agreed, I'm afraid that he can't afford to raise this daughter)

The first scene was the eldest son of Earl He'an, Fred, who wore that silver plate armor and a helmet with a black winged bat relief on his head, greeting the cheering crowd around him, what a knightly demeanor!

His opponent was a knight with a flat helmet and wrapped in lobster-like armor, and he was much stronger than the bearded Fred.

Fred, having enjoyed enough cheers and satisfying his vanity, put on his visor with satisfaction, and under the expectant gaze of his sister, he took the two-meter riding spear and a yellow nine-bat shield that was exactly the same as the coat of arms on his chest on his armor, and urged his horse to rush towards the flat-capped helmet knight opposite.

The knight seemed to have long been dissatisfied with Fred Ha'an's vanity, and he just waited there quietly, and when Fred Ha'an finally rushed up, he immediately urged his horse to meet him.

In the cheers, the two mounts gradually approached, only to hear the sound of "bang~", Fred's shield was hit by the knight, Fred's body shook on the horse, but he was able to stabilize his body, so that he did not fall off the horse.

There was no doubt that Fred was clearly no match for the other side, and he was knocked to the ground by the knight in the next round.

Today is a day full of contradictions for his sister, Dali Ha An, who hopes that his brothers will keep their position as champions, and on the other hand, a handsome knight who is willing to fight for himself and dedicate himself to the "crown of love and beauty" so that he can reap his own happy marriage in this competition.

I don't know if it was the poor girl's disaster day or what, his brothers were shot down one after another, and the new knights, although they also had a heroic existence, were attracted by the female companions of Princess Ilia Martel of Dorne, and every time a few knights made Dalie blush and heartbeat, they finally "passed" her and walked to Ilia's place.

Dali Ha An, who was supposed to be the brightest star on the field, seemed to be a fool, and handsome knights walked past her, and she smiled, hoping that the knight would be willing to fight for her. But it was only skipped again and again, she became like a green leaf, this poor girl's heart seemed to have been trampled on tens of thousands of times, God knows what kind of shadow this will leave her?

This horse pistol competition gradually became a bit boring, one by one knights took turns to fight, but often couldn't hold on to the two challengers, so they were brushed off, for the nobles who rarely had entertainment, this event was a bit interesting, but for Han Xing, who lived in the era of entertainment bombing in the past, this was a bit not enough to watch, so Han Xing felt bored about it, so he took Roy to the shore of the Eye Lake to relax. It is worth mentioning that under the instigation of Ed and Robert, Han Xing also participated in the carabine competition of this martial arts competition, but Han Xing drew the lot tomorrow.

There is a small boat on the Lake of God's Eye, which everyone has not noticed, and it is probably inappropriate to call it a boat, it should be said that it is just a flat boat, and when viewed from a distance, it seems to be a leaf floating on the surface of the lake.

It was a short young man, dressed in a green shirt with bronze sewn plates, and holding a three-pronged frog spear in his hand, like a fisherman's son.

Visibly captivated by the majesty of Harrenhal and the cheers that could be heard from miles away, he cast a curious glance at the countless colorful tents and bright flags beneath Harrenhal.

His name is Holland Reed, the son of the Lord of Greywater, the leader of the Zedi, he had come alone to study at the Thousand Faces Island in the Lake of God's Eye, he had completed his studies in one winter, and when he was about to leave, he was attracted by the lively Harrenhal tournament in the bright spring light, and he just thought "Maybe I will never encounter such a grand event in my life, I want to join in, even if it is just to be a bystander!" ”

The curiosity and excitement of his family drove the child, who had never seen much of the world and grew up in the swamp, to row the boat to Harrenhal.

He happily came to the edge of the arena, walked through the crowd, enjoyed the spring sun, looked here and there for a while, like a curious child.

But he did seem to be out of place with the brightly dressed red men and green women around him, so the squires of the three knights set their eyes on this "lowly inferior" who had blended in, and the three-pronged frog spear he held resembled a fisherman's son.

One of them had a pitchfork on his chest, a wild boar on his chest, and the last man had the Twin Towers on his chest, apparently serving some knight of the Frey family.

They surrounded Horan Reed from three directions, and the Zedi kid was still basking in the joy of watching the grand event, unaware of the threat behind him.
