Early in the morning, the Black Castle, located at the foot of the Great Wall, was suddenly awakened like a frightened beast.

Night's watchmen in black robes, whether eating, training, or walking, couldn't help but poke their heads in a certain direction inside the castle.

Some people couldn't help but whisper to their companions.

"Did you hear that, the lord is back?"

"I was shocked when I heard about it."

……

"Did you hear that? The lord came back on a dragon. ”

"Which one?"

"That's ......"

……

"Did you hear that the lord rode a dragon, and as soon as he returned, he cursed a large number of people, and it is said that even the commander-in-chief of Mormont was not spared?"

"How is that possible? Isn't that Lord a messenger of the gods? ”

"How could it be, this is what Sam saw with his own eyes."

"Gods, don't scare me."

"It's useless to ask the gods, many people say that the lord is not actually a messenger, but a real god descending to earth."

……

The ubiquitous chatter gives this castle a rare touch of hustle and bustle in the snow.

And some people who already had other requests were even more refreshed by this news, and looked in the direction of the King's Tower.

It's just that they are a little puzzled while they are paying attention.

How did the young black dragon that soared around the King's Tower bring back an adult male?

The body shape obviously doesn't match......

Many people were in high spirits, but for the people involved, arriving here seemed to be no different from being in a ravine.

"My lord, during your absence, we caught a total of seven book thieves, and none of them escaped."

There was a rough voice in his ears like an invitation, it was the iron leg of his former captain of the guard.

After Charles appeared, he appeared in front of him immediately, and quickly greeted him, and at this moment the two of them had arrived in the King's Tower, where Charles once lived.

"I'll send them all to the East China Sea to look at the cold wind, if it weren't for the old bear, I would ......"

Arriving outside a room in the tower, Iron Leg signaled the two soldiers guarding the door to push the door open, and then followed the young man into the quiet study.

Light shines through the narrow windows, and the adjacent bookshelves are soaked in brightness, but most of them still look lifeless.

Of course, dead doesn't mean dirty mess.

Scanning the surroundings, there is no dust at all in this study room, which is only 30 square meters in size.

A gray-black shadow slowly appeared in the corner of the study after Charles entered, and his face could not be seen clearly.

This is the shadow minion that Charles once made.

Because of the Sun Child's talent, Charles couldn't use it, so before leaving, he gave the thing an order to clean the study, which seems to have continued to this day.

"The turtle suddenly disappeared six days after you left, and some of us saw it leave Castle Black and head south, probably running away, sorry my lord, we ......"

Before Iron Leg's words fell, there was a sudden sound of rapid pedaling on the stairs behind him, and in a short time, a disheveled dwarf burst out.

Panting on his knees, the dwarf was visibly relieved when he saw Charles, and opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth for a while.

This man, whose dull blonde hair was messy at the moment, and the heavy yellow robe he was wearing was even worn backwards, and it was obvious that he had just woken up.

Facing Charles's gaze, the dwarf tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry adults, but I always like to sleep in the cold weather."

Charles raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and just as he was about to say something, another footstep suddenly sounded.

Then, a middle-aged woman in a red robe appeared in sight.

Facing the young figure standing at the door of the study, the red-robed woman watched for a moment, bowed, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

"What does she mean by that?"

The dwarf touched his chin, and as he approached Charles, he felt inexplicable.

It didn't take long for him to find out, or hear the details.

The red-robed woman did not really leave, but stood guard at the gate of the King's Tower. When Charles returned, many people came to visit one after another, but they were all stopped by her.

In the face of many people, she replied lightly.

"Gods are not something that ordinary people can easily see."

……

The captain of the guard didn't stay long, and he went out at Charles's signal, leaving only the dwarf alone in the quiet study, reporting to him about the events of this time.

"Since you left, my lord, there has been basically nothing important happening here, except for the chaos caused by the celestial transformation not long ago."

The sounds of the crowd outside the King's Tower could be faintly heard, which made Tyrion feel inexplicably restrained.

It's just that because of his natural personality, his tone is still normal, and even after noticing that Charles is not much different from what he used to be except for his hair color, his mood gradually relaxed.

"Not long ago, after the return of two thousand troops, Robb of the Stark family. Stark returned to Winterfell with his sister and his army, and now the largest force on the Wall, in addition to the large number of Savage Night's Watchmen, is your 1,000 private soldiers and those brought by the Red Robes. ”

"During this time, many northern nobles came to ask for help, and it was tempting to offer various prices, but I didn't dare to agree without your consent."

As he spoke, he saw Charles sitting in his chair looking a little absent-minded, so he rolled his eyes and decided to throw a heavyweight bomb.

"Your old acquaintance, the Earl of Bolton of the Castle of Terror, died a week ago."

These words made Charles's face stunned, and he unconsciously remembered the pervert who liked to play with leeches, and he asked, "Why did you die?" ”

"It is said that she was poisoned because she mistakenly believed in a wild witch from Char and swallowed a bottle of medicine that can delay the tanning function of the skin."

The dwarf said, coughing dryly: "But after much inquiry, I found that this matter is not so simple, and the biological mother of the late illegitimate son of Earl Bolton seems to be involved in this matter......"

Charles remembered that the bastard had his father's head cut off by his own hands, and of course he hadn't forgotten what he had done before that, so if he was more serious, it seemed to have something to do with him?

However, he had no intention of making the decision for the street shopper, who told him to cut off his own son's head to kneel and lick himself, and he was shocked at the time.

After a moment of surprise, Charles motioned for the man to continue.

He wasn't actually very interested in these things anymore, but the sudden change of environment was really a little unfamiliar.

Although it didn't seem long to the locals, Charles himself felt like it had been years.

Tyrion noticed the change in this mentality, and he was a little curious about what had happened to this person during this time, and he was becoming more and more impersonal, or boyish.

But there seems to be no way to ask about such intimate things.

"That's probably the way it is here at the Great Wall, there's nothing too special. However, relations between the Starks in the North and Stannis in King's Landing have eased, and they have even publicly supported Stannis's military campaign recently. ”

At this point, he glanced at him deliberately.

"The High Court and Stormlands in the south have been subordinated to King Stannis under the leadership of the Blue Rites, and Dorne in the far south is still not interfering with King's Landing.

The Iron Islands are said to have recently changed masters, and the elder Greyjoy's younger brother, Euron. Greyjoy has become Lord of the Iron Islands, and his current movements are unclear. ”

"The House of Arryn in the Vale has been wiped out, supposedly because of ghosts...... Well, Stannis obviously wouldn't believe in this kind of fool's play, and I think his suspicions were aimed at the Earls of the Vale. However, because he is currently targeting the Lannisters, he has not yet had time to deal with the tragedy that happened in the Vale. ”

His tone was normal, but if memory serves, Tyrion was also Lannister.

Charles then asked curiously, "Aren't you worried about your family?" ”

"What's the use of worrying, just worrying."

Tyrion shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, "If my father had been wronged, I would definitely ask you for help now, though you wouldn't have helped, my lord." But the truth is that my father sacrificed hundreds of thousands of King's Landing citizens for his own benefit. ”

"Personally, I'm naturally towards the Lannisters, but morally I think Stannis is doing a good job. Selfishness makes me hope that the Yu family can survive this disaster, just officially ask for help. I'm a dwarf, but I don't want to embarrass myself. ”

This is an interesting man, Charles thought.

This is also the reason why he is not very interested in others, but has a different attitude towards the current one.

Of course, he really didn't have the heart to make a move.

"And I heard that my father had found a seemingly reliable ally overseas."

Tyrion didn't know what Charles was thinking at the moment, and looked out the window as he spoke: "It is said that that ally also has two dragons, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
