Early in the morning, there was a commotion outside the gates of Irontree Fort.

"I came from Luanhe City and brought with me the deceased of the Forrester family, who still looks like a nobleman." In front of the carriage was a filthy groom, and the stench of the carriage was a corpse that had long since decomposed and crawled with maggots.

"Got it, leave it to us." Said Soldier Forrester.

"Hmm...... They're not free, are they? "How much are you going to pay?" ”

"What? Pay? For a bunch of dead people? The Forrester soldier was furious.

"What's going on?" The leader of the Iron Tree Castle, who heard the voice, walked out.

Li Quan got up very early, stood on the second floor of the Iron Tree Castle and looked at the backward and miserable scene of the Middle Ages in front of him, planning for the future in his heart.

"Uh, Sir Royland, I, uh, I'm just ......" The groom's voice became a little flustered as the knight leader of Irontree appeared.

"You're you again?" Sir Royland's exasperated voice said, "Who have you brought with you this time?" Some poor farmer dressed as a nobleman? Or a horse boy in a rider's uniform? ”

It seems that this is not the first time this has happened.

"Me, uh...... I was ......"

"The family has just lost a lot of uprightness," Ser Roylander interrupted the groom's defense, "and you dare to come here, in this name?" ”

"They really are Forrester's people! I picked them up from the battlefield, look at the color of their clothes......" said the groom with a strong composure.

"What a clever trick, you must be looking forward to making a fortune with joy." Ser Roylander was furious, drew his sword from his belt, and threatened: "Don't get out of here!" ”

"Alright! Then I'll throw them into the river! The groom said angrily.

"If you dare to come again, you will die! Got it? Sir Roylander shouted and threatened.

Li Quan frowned slightly when he heard this, but did not speak.

This scene in front of him made him even more determined to transform this world as soon as possible, this harsh living environment, people can give up everything in order to eat a meal, including dignity, humanity, all good thoughts. Now that he's here, this shouldn't be the case.

In his mind, he already regarded this plane as his territory.

All the people here are his potential subjects. Whether it was Sir Roylander or this groom, they were all stallions of equal value in his eyes.

Well, it doesn't sound very good, but it's the way it is. Before he completely transformed this plane into an iron tree planting base, every man and every woman here was the base population, limiting the speed of his plan, and no one should be missing.

The coachman drove the wagon away, but a man fell out of the pile of corpses in the wagon.

The sound of landing alarmed Royland, who turned around and planned to go back.

"What's wrong, Sir?" Soldier Forrester asked.

Roylander looked at the fallen corpse, which was moving. Roylander was surprised and said, "This one is still alive!" ”

He cautiously walked up to the "corpse" and was not ready to approach. These creatures crawling out of the pile of dead people usually carry the plague on them. "Hey, who are you?" Royland asked, standing still.

The man rolled over on the ground with great difficulty, showed his face, and said in a weak voice, "It's me, Roderick......"

Royland was stunned. Li Quan, who saw this scene on the second floor, was also slightly stunned, he had a good memory, he had indeed seen this person, at that bloody wedding.

"Roderick? Roderick! Oh my God, it's really you! Sir Roylander was pleasantly surprised, and quickly stepped forward, half-crouching down.

The Forrester soldier behind him hesitated, "Sir ......"

"Go get the bachelor! Come on! Roylander turned around and urged loudly, and after speaking, he looked back at Roderick, who was covered in blood and had a strong stench on his body. Roderick, Roderick! He shouted, finding Roderick unconscious.

……

Roderick is back. This is undoubtedly extremely exciting news for the Forrester family, who have just lost almost all the men of the family.

Under the care of the Irontree Masters, Roderick is out of danger and has awakened. The Forrester family gathered around him, asking what had happened.

On the side, Gary said to Li Quan with surprise in his tone: "Great, Roderick is back, he is not dead!" There is hope for the Forrester family again! ”

Li Quan smiled slightly. He knew what Gary meant, and Ryan, who was only 6 years old, could succeed him as lord, and everyone was a little apprehensive. Ethan is young enough, Ryan? He can't read yet. Well, now that the old lord is gone, the eldest son, Roderick, has come back from the dead, which has given the entire Iron Tree Fort a shot in the arm.

Li Quan is also very satisfied, which is also good news for him.

After all, Ryan is too young, and it is not difficult for him to raise such a young child to ascend to the throne, both are the same, and he is worried that the lord is too young and too easy to be secretly manipulated by people with intentions, and then become a puppet in the air. This kind of drama in ancient Chinese history is often staged.

He didn't want to be the candidate he had so hard to correct, and as soon as he left, he would be set up as a puppet by others.

The Roderick in front of him is much more pleasing to the eye, and he is another man who heals his injuries.

Thinking of this, he took out a bottle of secondary healing potion and walked up.

"Let him drink this." Li Quan said.

"What is this?"

And all the people looked at him. Although Li Quan is an outsider in Irontree Castle, if it were not for Li Quan, the situation of the Forrester family at this moment would probably be even more miserable, Rams-Snow is known for his cruelty and viciousness, and there are countless small families that have perished at the hands of the notorious Bolton family.

Although the means are a bit sharp, it is undeniable that the Forrester family owes Li Quan a favor.

That being said, no one knew what Li Quan had taken out, so no one dared to take it, let alone let Roderick drink it as he said.

Liquid of unknown origin equals poison, which is the way to survive in this cruel world.

Seeing this, Li Quan didn't talk nonsense, directly pulled out the potion bottle and drank it himself, then handed the potion to the bachelor, and said, "This is a healing potion, he can make the person who drinks it recover quickly." It is an ancient recipe flowing out of the school city. You know, I'm a traveling merchant. This magical gadget is my favorite item to sell on the road. Trust me, you're going to love it. ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally it was the bachelor who plucked up the courage to take a sip after hearing the name of the school, and after trying that it would be fine, he took it and fed it to Roderick.

The school city is a sanctuary for the scholars of the Seven Kingdoms, which is equivalent to a university in this world. Scholars gathered there to study ancient texts and historical knowledge. The things of the bachelor's society in this world are very mixed, and they are often a combination of family advisors, historians, doctors, and so on.

A miracle appeared in front of everyone.

Soon after the potion was drunk by Roderick, Roderick suddenly coughed, and then slowly sat up. From his mental head, it can be seen that it is far more than a thousand times better than the half-dead malaise just now, and he is full of energy when he speaks.

"What kind of potion is this...... I feel...... I feel alive all at once! He said. There was irrepressible shock in his tone.

The members of the Forrester family present looked at Li Quan with a kind of monster look.

Li Quan shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain anything, what should have been said should have been said, and let these people's brains make up for the rest. Leaving some mystery behind would be good for his follow-up plans.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to talk to Roderick alone." After Li Quan said this, he left the room under the complicated eyes of everyone.

……

A few days later, Ethan and the old lord's funeral took place.

The flags of the Forrester family, with white trees on a black background, hung on both sides, and the bodies of the old lord and Ethan were quietly displayed on two wooden platforms made of wood under the light of torches.

Their hands were saddled to their chests, their eyes closed, and their faces serene.

On the side, members of the Forrester family, including Roderick, who had fully recovered, gathered, and everyone was sad. Li Quan also attended as an ally of the Forrester family.

Just the day before, Li Quan had a one-on-one conversation with Roderick. The two were talking in an unknown place. What was specifically discussed, Roderick kept silent when he returned. Therefore, no one knows what Li Quan wants.

It's just that afterwards, Roderick declared the existence of Li Quan's ally in front of everyone in Iron Tree Castle, and declared that the Forrester family would unswervingly safeguard the interests of the ally.

Now that Roderick has rightfully succeeded the family and become the Lord of Irontree Castle, his words are orders. No one objected.

Lady Forrester, the mother of the people, looked at her deceased husband at this moment, and said faintly, "All this is happening again. My father, who used to call the wind and rain at home, was like him. But his loyalty to the Targaryens cost us too much. ”

The crowd was silent.

"I have witnessed the fall of countless families, the destruction of our homeland, and the loss of everything we hold on." She looked at Roderick, "I can't watch the same fate befall this family. ”

"I'm not going to let it happen, Mother." Roderick said in an unusually resolute tone, his gaze passed over the others, glanced at Li Quan who was standing aside, and then looked at Mrs. Forrester solemnly, and said seriously: "Our family is extremely powerful, and my mother is far more powerful than anyone imagined. We will live forever! ”

"Roderick, there are not many powerful people, but the long night still wants their lives." Mrs. Forrester did not know where Roderick's confidence came from, and she frowned and said, "Winter is coming. You have to be ready to defend us, Roderick. You're already a lord. Maybe one day, you will lie here too, but your will must be as strong as steel. Do you understand? ”

has seen too many fights, too many deceit, too many cruel and cold-blooded, she knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to support this family, and she is more afraid of the unknown road ahead than anyone else.

"I understand." Roderick nodded.

"Let's get started."

Mrs. Forrester retreated to the rear.

Roderick came to his father, and his thin voice was particularly mournful in the iron woods: "My father...... He...... He's almost everything. Pretty much anything I wanted to be. He opened my eyes to the qualities it takes to be a lord. He was admired. He's the best I've ever met. I...... I'm sorry...... I love you, Father. ”

He stood silently for a moment, then turned around and walked up to Ethan again.

Ethan...... My dear brother. He was a lord and he served the family to the best of his ability. Although I didn't see him there at the time...... I'm so proud of him. ”

Roderick walked over and stood with the group, and Mrs. Forrester came up and stood before her husband. "We are very proud of Lord Gregor Forrester...... My husband, my dear. She turned to Ethan, "And Lord Ethan...... My favorite son......" At this, she couldn't help but choke.

Holding back the grief in her heart, she must fulfill this ancient tradition. She continued: "Now, it's time to say goodbye...... Both the Father and the Son were sent back to the earth, to the frost. And since the beginning of sacrifice, new life begins to reincarnate. ”

At the same time, Taria, the daughter of the Forrester family, walked up and silently shoved an iron tree seed into the hands of the old lord and Ethan. She wept and uttered the Forrester family's motto for thousands of years: "Steel...... From the Ice! ”

Roderick stepped forward, took the flaming torch from Duncan's hand, and lit the two wooden platforms one after the other.

The ironwood was ignited, and a blue flame burned out.

Li Quan previously analyzed the data of the system and learned that the ironwood was not non-combustible, but had an extremely high ignition point, and only the blue flame from the burning of the ironwood could ignite another piece of ironwood. According to Gary, the first piece of ironwood that the Forrester family had been given was a thousand years ago, using legendary magic. Since then, the family has kept the flame for generations, and the flame has been passed down from generation to generation.

The faint blue flames gradually obscured the two figures on the wooden platform. Tarya stood across from them all, singing a mournful funeral song in her ethereal voice......

Li Quan turned and left.

He's next going to meet Jon Snow, the protagonist of Game of Thrones. This was the most important step in his unification of Westeros.

Based on his knowledge of the plot, Jon Snow, who was born as an illegitimate child, is a kind-hearted and selfless man who has no desire for power at all, and believes that fighting against the Wraiths should take precedence over internal strife between the living. Far away in the south, when the princes were still fighting for an Iron Throne, and they didn't even know what the strangers were, Jon Snow had dealt with the strangers, and he was a person with a high level of thought and consciousness.

If anyone can accept his full plan, it's Jon Snow. They share a common goal, which is to eliminate the threat of the Stranger.

Li Quan knew that he would not stay here after unifying Westeros, and that he needed to establish a spokesperson to rule the plane. The people of the Forrester family can only be used as backups, and instead of letting them sit on the Iron Throne that they have never tried before, perhaps planting trees is more suitable for them.

When it comes to domination, Jon Snow is the best choice, Jon Snow's true background is not Stark, but the more noble orthodox descendant of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, the legal heir to the Iron Throne.

This identity is currently unknown to Jon himself. It is conceivable that if this matter is shaken out, it will inevitably cause a violent earthquake. It's a trump card that can be played at the right time.

As for himself, why didn't he sit on the Iron Throne?

In Li Quan's heart, this entire plane is his, so why bother with a pile of broken copper and iron.
