Winter, Hall

In fact, knighthood was not popular among the northerners of Westeros, and knighthood originated from the Andal culture, and the Andals invaded Westeros and brought the knightly system. The equipment and horses made of steel www.biquge.info made Andal's knights militarily invincible, and this was an important guarantee for the Andals' conquest of Westeros.

Later, the influence of Andal's culture on Westeros made the knights the main force in the war of the Seven Powers. However, places such as the North, the Iron Islands, and Dorne have not been heavily infiltrated by Andal culture, and chivalry has become less culturally mainstream.

The Stark family already has the blood of their ancestors in their veins.

However, Eddard Stark was adopted by Jon Irene as a teenager and grew up with Robert Baratheon, and under his leadership, the North's acceptance and recognition of the knight class has increased much more than before.

However, due to the complexity of the faith, the knighthood and King's Landing are slightly different.

A faint smile swept over Duke Eddard Stark's weathered face: "Sir Rodric, my sword!" ”

Receiving the legendary sword "Cold Ice" from Rodric's hand, a blade made of Valyrian steel throughout, blessed with spells and as dark as black smoke, Ed gently rested it on Du Yu's shoulder. "Euroin, will you swear before the gods and the world that you will defend the weak, protect women and children, obey the long palace, the king, and the king, and fight valiantly and heroically and faithfully, no matter how difficult, humble, or dangerous the future may be?"

"I do, sir."

"Are you willing to swear allegiance to my son Robb Stark after he succeeds to Lord Winterfell?"

"I will, my lord, and serve Robb Stark as long as I wander the continent of Westeros, as long as he is alive."

The Duke of the Frontier moved his sword from his right shoulder to his left, "Rise, Sir Eloin, and welcome you to Winterfell. I'll find you a nice squire when I have time. ”

Three days later

The north wind is cold, and the cold feeling is striking.

Huge snowflakes drifted in the air, the snow on the ground was thick and soft, and the northern sun of Westeros was bleak and could not bring even a hint of warmth.

On King's Road, an elite looking group of soldiers cleared the way, holding the familiar banner of the golden crown of the Baratheon family. It was a brilliant river of gold, silver, steel, and war horses, slowly advancing in the wind and snow.

The king's retinue numbered three hundred, consisting of proud vassals and knights, knights of oaths, and freeriders. The icy north wind tore at the dozen golden banners held high above their heads, embroidered with the crown symbolizing the family of Barazion, and the stag flashed its majestic crown in the north wind.

"Damn it! How long do we have to get there! Robert Baratheon arched his fat frame on his horse, his overgrown beard was covered with ice slag, and his gruff voice showed his impatience.

"Dear King, we're already in Icewind Dale, and soon we'll be in Winterfell!" A royal guard in a snow-white cloak snatched half of his horse forward and said to Robert.

"Oh, this terrible weather, why did we leave King's Landing and come to this desolate place!" A blonde beauty, with green eyes, a tall figure, and the cold air made her feel very uncomfortable. In contrast, she prefers the warmth of King's Landing, enjoying life in a royal palace by the sea.

Perhaps, it also includes exchanging feelings with her brother, Jaime Lannister the "Kingkiller"! Or, warm up with her Lannister cousin.

The king's chariot was still on the road, and Arya was sitting next to Du Yu on the edge of the school yard in Winterfell, Robb was instructing Bran in archery, and Theon Greyjoy was also archery.

"Eloin, why do nuns and sisters want me to be a lady, to learn female red needlework, complicated manners, those boring things, long and time-consuming." Arya Stark uttered a whining word, a sign of her weariness with the girls' compulsory classes.

"And Sansa, she's like those stupid girls, every day she just fantasizes about a certain prince marrying her, and I don't want to marry some big man, and then like a dead fish, every day I run the castle for him, and have children, that's not me!"

"And Sister Modan, always let me fold it again, these clothes will be a mess sooner or later, why waste time on them?"

Arya accentuated her tone every time she said "and", her little face was slightly red, some of it was frozen in the cold wind, and some of it was anxious and slightly annoyed when she mentioned these things, which made her look very cute.

"Euloin, why don't you speak?" She turned around and put down the boring needle and thread in her hand, and looked at Du Yu suspiciously, who was carving a delicate statue with a knife at the moment, it was an ice wolf, which had been completed for the most part, and it looked lifelike.

"Little Arya, what do you want me to say?" Du Yu smiled, then looked at Arya and asked, "Do you want me to tell you that it's useless to be a female celebrity or anything, do you want me to support your point of view, or do you want me to teach you how to use weapons to defeat the enemy and protect yourself, or do you want me to make something delicious for you and make something fun to comfort your wounded heart?" ”

Without waiting for Arya to answer, Du Yu continued: "If it's the former, I'm sorry, I have the same opinion as your family, if you want me to teach you how to play with swords, as long as your father agrees, I can teach you at any time, if it's the last one, I can give it to you now, no!" ”

As he spoke, Du Yu suddenly accelerated the speed of the knife in his hand, as if flying between his two fingers, a cloud of clear light surged, and there were more sawdust on the snow, and the icewolf appeared in his hand intact, looking seven or eight points similar to Arya's icewolf Namelia, and then handed it to Arya.

"Wow, that's a pretty good job! Thank you, dear Oroin! Arya recognized at a glance that the little wolf was a copy of her Namelia, and smiled happily, but then she looked at Du Yu with a look of hope, "Aloin, are you telling the truth?" As long as my father agrees, you will teach me swordsmanship. ”

She has an extraordinary love for swordsmanship, for boys' favorite horseback riding and archery, just like her aunt Lyanna Stark, the blood of the wolf is a talent, and it also subtly shapes the character, the low magic world does not mean that the supernatural does not exist, but it is insignificant compared to the power conspiracy.

Unless, you have three dragons too!

"Of course it's true, as long as your father or mother agrees, I will teach you how to protect yourself!" Du Yu looked at Arya Stark meaningfully, then turned his head slightly, glanced at the old window lattice on the second floor of the main castle without a trace, and when he talked about his mother, he paused slightly, "It's not just weapons, if you want to protect yourself, you still have to learn more!" ”

The cheering girl didn't notice the eyes of the man next to her, nor did she fully understand what Du Yu meant, but she was just happy that she could finally get the guidance of her teacher in a dignified manner, and maybe one day she would become an outstanding and outstanding heroine like the legendary Nymelia.

On the second floor of the main fort, there is a separate room with a mound of boulders.

"Can we really trust this stranger?" Caitlin Tully's voice rang out in the room, a look of worry in her eyes. Just behind the window lattice

"Eloin has pledged his allegiance and joined Winterfell as one of us." Eddard Stark's voice was majestic and solemn, with a decisive firmness.

"But we don't know the details of him, neither his real name, nor where he came from, what if he was a man like a wild man beyond the Wall, or approached us with some kind of malicious purpose? Ned, you're too hasty! Caitlin Tully didn't change anything because of Eddard Stark's words, she was always afraid to speculate with the greatest malice, but her failure was that she was again influenced by the woman's emotions at the critical moment.

"As I said, he's already one of us, and I've promised that no one in the North will embarrass him because of his identity, unless he breaks the laws of the North!"

Eddard Stark saw that his wife's brows were still furrowed, stepped forward and hugged her, and said softly, "Catelyn, I am the de facto ruler of the North, Euloin is just a man, he can't make any waves in Winterfell, whether it is you and me, or Maester Lewyn, Sir Rodric, or my eldest son, Robb Stark, all have absolute control in the city, he is just flesh and blood!" ”

Eddard Stark's words make a lot of sense, even if there is a system in his body, Du Yu is not a dragon and not an incorruptible body, and he will never really take Winterfell by himself. But Stark also miscalculated, he mistakenly regarded Du Yu's space fetching as a juggling trick, he assumed that Du Yu was just a trick that didn't hurt, but unfortunately Du Yu could take out magic props, and he could also take out RGO grenades, as long as the reputation points were enough.

"Caitlin, what we really need to worry about is our king, Robert is coming, Raven says that his ceremonial ride has arrived in Icewind Dale, winter is coming soon, the situation in Korea and China is turbulent, your sister's letter and the omens I have seen in the forest make me very uneasy, the weather is getting colder and colder!"

"Pedal Pedal Pedal ......" There was a hurried, fast and slow footstep at the stairs, and Arya's voice came "Daddy, Daddy, I know you're here, Oloin promised to teach me swordsmanship, he said he can teach me how to protect myself, as long as you agree, you agree okay, I really want to learn!" ”

As the voice came, the playful and lovely Arya ran, her bright deer-like eyes into Eddard Stark's arms, pleading in a coquettish tone.
