Chapter 1191: Arrival in King's Landing
After discussing with the two, Gooding found Lord Ed and postponed his departure until the next morning. The reason is that the day's battle is too tiring, and he needs enough rest.
Ed naturally agreed without thinking about it, and he didn't have much to think about at the moment.
On the side of the alien army, after the promise of the alien leader, it was as quiet as a ghost realm without any living creatures.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone saw them standing still on the reduced stone walls, they would have thought they had left.
In the middle of the night, Ed sat at his desk, his head propped up in one hand, drowsy, he hadn't slept well in days, and he was exhausted.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a chill suddenly came, and he woke up from his sleepiness, and was about to get up to get the quilt, but suddenly found that the white frost had covered his armor.
"What is this......" Before he could react, the frost completely covered him, and the whole person was completely enveloped in white ice.
At that moment, the door to his room was opened. Gooding, Robb, and Jon walked in.
"Isn't that really going to be a problem?" Jon asked, a little uneasy.
"It's going to be fine, I've tested rats hundreds of times, and they're all alive and well after thawing." Gooding was very sure.
"I'm more worried that when we get to King's Landing, my father will go berserk." Robb smiled wryly.
"As I told you before, you just put all the blame on me. You two are my hostages, and all this was coerced by me. Gooding smiled at the two. Even if you get to King's Landing, being scolded, or even being smacked, it's better than watching everyone die here, isn't it? ”
"Robb, it's all come to this, don't hesitate!" Jon said to Robb as well.
Robb nodded, reluctantly picked up his father and stuffed it into the carriage outside the door.
Immediately afterward, one by one, Gooding froze all the die-hard factions who chose to stick to Winterfell and stuffed them into the carriage. Leave only a few slightly more open-minded ones for Robb and Jon to persuade.
After about three hours of busyness, Robb and Jon gathered all the defenders. With the help of the remaining generals, the defenders were controlled.
The large forces began to withdraw from Winterfell.
A group of strange spirits watched Gudin and his party leave.
Before leaving, Guding shouted at the leader of the strangers, "Don't wait for three days, when we are all evacuated, this city will be yours." ”
The leader of the strange spirits nodded at Gooding, he was also a little surprised, how the hell did Gooding get rid of the Stark family's brains, but he didn't ask.
Seeing that Gooding's group of people completely disappeared from sight, the leader of the strange ghosts gave an order, and the army of strange spirits quickly occupied the entire Winterfell City.
……
Heading south along King's Road, resting at Carlin Bay and Harroway, the group finally arrived at King's Landing after almost twenty days.
The garrison was stationed in the city of Rosby, not far from King's Landing.
Gooding, along with Robb and Jon, transported the wagon into King's Landing.
In a hotel room, Gooding thawed several frozen ice sculptures.
Robb, Jon, and a few other generals who weren't frozen watched with trepidation as the frozen men woke up.
"Where is this? What's going on?! "Lord Ed immediately noticed the anomaly.
"This is King's Landing, and I'm sorry I kidnapped you without your consent." Gooding was the first to speak.
Robb and Jon then tell the story.
"How can you do that?! Didn't take the loyalty of our Stark family into account at all! Ed naturally knew very well that his two sons must have colluded with Gooding, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well.
"You can't blame them, it's me who threatened them. You guys are in a frozen state, and I only need a fireball to kill you. They have no choice but to help me transport you to King's Landing. Gooding took the blame.
Although Gooding said so, Ed was well aware that this was not the case at all.
"I wonder, why did you have to save us?" Ed then looked at Gooding.
"I want to get citizenship in King's Landing so I can get access to the National Library and preferably the Bachelor's Library. That way, I don't have to spend time trying to get a bachelor's degree. Gooding was very serious about his purpose.
"Just for that purpose?" Ed couldn't believe it, but the look in Gooding's eyes didn't look like he was lying.
"I know that you have a good relationship with the king, so I have to bring you here, as long as you speak in person, I believe the king will not refuse." The expression on Gooding's face was still very serious.
"Also, I'm not sure if the army of strangers will continue to move south, but I suggest you prepare for war. Winterfell might just be a stronghold they need, and I don't know what will happen when they've gathered enough strength. With that, Gooding turned and walked towards the door.
When he walked to the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something, "I live next door, if the identity is done, please inform me as soon as possible, thank you!" ”
Watching Gooding push the door and leave, Ed was stunned for a moment, then turned to Robb and Jon and said, "You two come to the palace with me!" ”
……
What happened after Ed left, Gooding didn't know. But Ed was a man of his word, and in less than two hours, a golden token was brought to him, which was given by the king.
"It seems that our lord's relationship with the king is not ordinarily good." Gooding weighed the token twice, took it in his arms, and walked towards the library.
His clothes at this time were completely different from those of the poor people before, and Robb bought him several sets of aristocratic children's clothes along the way, each of which was not cheap.
Gooding was also very comfortable to wear, and his whole temperament was completely different after changing his clothes, even Robb joked that he was more like a nobleman than himself.
This time when he entered the library, when Gooding showed off his token, the library administrators looked respectful. To enter the National Library, you only need an identity token, in fact, any family can be. However, the Bachelor's Tower is different in that only the Bachelor or the Royal Inspector can enter it. King Robert was a lazy man, and after Eddard made a request, he threw the token he had with him without thinking.
Gooding didn't even know that the token he was holding was actually pure gold, and it was a belongings that the king had brought with him for many years. Of course, even if Gooding knew, he wouldn't care.
Once he entered the library, he began to search for books on magic.
I have to admit that the collection of books here is hundreds of times larger than that of Winterfell, and there are even quite a few books on the practice of magic. Gooding immediately immersed himself...... (To be continued.) )
