Chapter 35: Entering the City - Asking for Tickets

PS: Push it to your friend chapter, everyone should be familiar with it, the "Tree Sect" of the ancestral tree god, interested in taking a look! Also ask for a commuter pass! It's about to fall off the monthly ticket list.

Fortunately, on the night of the assassination, it was cold and windy in Icewind Dale, and it was difficult to distinguish in person, and it was a dark night, so Kirk and the others deliberately changed their outfits before they acted, and put on camouflage white clothes and white armor. Kirk even obscenely disguised himself as a sword and shield warrior. Therefore, as long as you are not brainless enough to openly use weapons such as the signature [Sun God's Flame] and "Glory of the God of War" in front of the king's army, you will not be an assassin for the time being. As for the veterans on the other side, although they know Kirk's identity well, they suffer from their low contribution value in the team, and they are soft-spoken, and even Cersei does not believe their words, let alone sue in front of the king.

Robert's mood seems to have come out of the assassination incident five days ago, and as he walks, he talks and laughs loudly with Eddard, pointing at the country, and scolding Fang Xuan.

"Ned (Ed. Stark's nickname and nickname), I'm going to let you govern the country and lead the army to war, and what about myself? then eat, drink and have fun happily, and have a good time. He patted his belly and smiled, "Do you know the proverb that describes kings and prime ministers?" ”

Ed, of course, knew it. "The king dreams," he said, "the prime minister dreams." ”

"A fisherman girl who slept with me told me that there was a better metaphor for the lower middle class of the people: the king eats, and the prime minister cleans the."

Robert's vulgar remarks provoked laughter, and Ned did not care, smiling and riding forward.

The King's gaze swept behind Ned and saw Kirk's dodging figure.

He pointed at Kirk with his horsewhip with interest, "That is the guard who asked me two questions in my tent that day, right?" ”

Ed nodded: "He was disrespectful to the king that day. Please forgive me. Immediately, he motioned for Kirk to come forward and be questioned by the king.

Reluctantly, Kirk drove forward, bent down and gave a military salute: "Your Majesty, I have worried about the safety of my lord that day, and my words have been conflicting, and I ask your lord to forgive me a lot." ”

Robert looked at Kirk with interest: "You dare to defy the king for the sake of your lord?" What's wrong with that? You asked two questions well, gave me a wake-up call, and I want to reward you well! ”

Immediately, James. Lannister angrily threw over a heavy bag: "This is the king's grace." Then! Take it to the brothels in Winterfell! ”

Kirk opened it and looked at it. It was actually a golden dragon coin (the most valuable universal currency on the mainland), and the number should be in the thousands. You must know that the purchasing power of gold dragon coins on the mainland is amazing, and one gold dragon coin is enough to buy a beautiful prostitute or a majestic war horse. He hurriedly rolled his saddle and dismounted. Get down on one knee: "Thank you for the king's gift!" ”

Robert laughed. Patting Ned on the shoulder: "There are very few people like this under you. I look faithful and clever, will you give me any love? I'll make him a royal knight, maybe in the future, I might be able to promote the Imperial Guard! ”

His eyes swept over Kirk again. Kirk scolded in his heart, this bastard king, you still dare to pry into my corner, you won't live long, and you have to pull me into the fire pit? Is your bullshit Imperial Iron Guard a hanging?

However, he was secretly vigilant in his heart. As a king, no matter how much Robert admires a subordinate guard, he should not choose this way of poaching. He couldn't have found something, could he?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

In that case, Robert would have very sinister intentions for him. Do you want to follow the vine and sit on the evidence of Ned's crime?

Fortunately, Ed interjected: "Your Majesty Robert, I finally have a Stark family who can open his mouth to speak, you have a lot of clowns over there, do you still want our people?" ”

Robert muttered: "There are quite a few courtiers, sycophants and clowns around me, but they are all a bunch of drunken and incompetent people, and it is right to look for them for food, drink and merry, but I can't count on them in national affairs." Fortunately, you are the former prime minister, and these worries will be your business in the future, Ha Luha. ”

Ed let out a long sigh, and he had heard a little bit of wind about what Robert was doing in King's Landing. Due to the king's penchant for holding grand knightly tournaments and feasting and drinking, it is said that the royal family has owed 6 million gold dragon coins. The Lannister is the largest creditor, with 3 million gold dragon coins.

As everyone continued on their way, a veteran captain of the Baratheon family quietly walked up to Kirk, gritted his teeth, and said, "Do you want me to reveal to the king that you are an assassin?" ”

Kirk was shocked, and then laughed: "You expose it!" ”

The veteran captain glanced at Kirk, gritted his teeth, and said, "Aren't you afraid of dying here, your master can't protect you if the king gives an order!" ”

Kirk laughed: "You turtle grandson, if you had evidence, you would have exposed us to the king a long time ago, but still now?" ”

The veteran sneered: "We are ??? after all"

"What is it after all?" Kirk didn't give any face: "After all, it's cannon fodder?" When the king is gone, he throws you at the bottom like rubbish and leaves you to fend for yourselves. ”

The veteran was silent. When grouped, it was said that the Stark family was forced to fate, but after entering the Baratheon family, they found that this was the most cheating pit in the legend.

The king did not trust them at all and turned a blind eye to the impending machinations of King's Landing. They were dying in a hurry.

I was trying to find a way to contact other friendly forces, but I didn't expect that I would be hit by a veteran of the Stark family just after entering the north.

"Why do you want to attack the king?" He gritted his teeth: "The Stark family itself doesn't have many allies, and they assassinated the king, are you all crazy?" We lost 2 of our men this time, and 2 of them surrendered and fled back to space! ”

Kirk shrugged: "Dude, you are mistaken, the plot is a friendly relationship, it does not mean that we contractors have a friendly relationship." Isn't it strange that the direction prescribed by the plot is not what we want, so we will naturally destroy it?"

The veteran was speechless. Kirk further interrogated, "You're now falling out with the Lannisters veterans?" ”

He sighed: "Yes, the king already suspects them. But anyway, in the plot, the Baratheon family and the Lannister family are also going to fight, and we are very stiff now, and it is estimated that there will be a war in King's Landing. I wanted to take advantage of this time to join forces with several powerful forces in your northern borders to get rid of the Lannisters. ”

Turns out that was what he came to me for, Kirk thought to himself.

Kirk looked at him sympathetically: "What are your plans for the future?" ”

After the death of the king, according to the current development situation, the king has not much power available in his hands, and he does not trust the contractor who helped him, and it is inevitable that he will return to King's Landing to die.

The veteran sighed: "It's nothing, Robert is dead, it doesn't mean that the Baratheon family is finished, we can go and assist Lan Li. Baratheon, or Stannis. Baratheon, and join in the contention of kings. It's really not good, we can choose to put on black armor and become a night watchman! ”

Kirk's eyes widened in surprise. The veteran smiled: "You didn't notice? The Night's Watch is also an independent force, and he is not subordinate to anyone, not even the North. The [Night Watchman] title quest is very difficult, to repel the three invasions of the Wildlings and the Stranger, but we have already purchased the whole process of the quest, and the final title reward is very good! It is not necessarily worse than the two advanced team attribute rewards of the champion team. This world is very large, the mission cycle is very long, and there is no rule that after the main quest fails, you must return to space immediately. It's really not good, you can cross the strait and go to the free city-state to find the dragon girl! [Dragon Knight] This kind of title reward is exciting to listen to! ”

Kirk was an eye-opener, he didn't think much of it. However, from the side, it can be seen that the veterans of the Baratheon family are really not optimistic about this stubborn king, so they will study various titles and branch tasks so deeply, and they must be mentally prepared to be eliminated.

Kirk thought for a moment, "You've thought too early about your retreat, and it's not that time yet. In the assassination of the king, it is true that we are enemies. But once the King's appointment becomes a fact, and Ned's entry into King's Landing becomes inevitable, we will adjust our strategy and choose to cooperate with you. ”

The veteran smiled: "Seeing that you are a master, little brother, you can call me a fat goose." Kirk smiled bitterly: "Brother Fat Goose, I am a group leader, you still have to negotiate with Boss Van Gundy to settle on the right matter." ”

There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, and before entering Winterfell, the Baratheon and Stark contractors had become allies, and they were laughing with each other. The Lannister contractors saw it in their eyes and secretly feared it.

I don't know if it was the suspicious assassination that made Queen Cersei and Prince Joffrey reined in, and when they entered Winterfell, they no longer had the arrogant and commanding appearance of the original play.

Lady Catherine was greeted outside the city with all the Stark family.

At this time the others dismounted, and the grooms from the city came to take care of the horses. Cersei? Lannister walks into town with her young children. When the two families meet each other, they naturally inevitably have some false affection and praise.

Robert immediately offered to go to Stark's grave, where he wanted to pay his respects to Leiana. The queen began to object, only to see Robert look at her coldly, and Jaime quietly held her hand, and she said no more.

As Eddard's personal guard of honor, Kirk will also follow this time, and he is curious about what good things are in the Stark family cemetery.

It looks like the cemetery is unguarded. Ed walked ahead with the lights on, and the spiral staircase leading to the crypt was very narrow, so everyone rushed in.

Ed led the way, and Kirk followed closely, walking down the aisle between the stone pillars, shivering from the cold of the ground, and silently following behind. It was very cold in the cemetery, so cold that it almost froze the bone marrow into ice. (To be continued......)
