Chapter 0150: Stark in the North (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Eddard Stark was born in 263 Aegon in Winterfell, the capital of the North.

He is Chinese New Year's Eve, one year younger than King Robert.

Ed has a long face, dark brown hair, gray eyes, and a neatly trimmed black beard.

Sixteen years ago, before the outbreak of the Usurper War, his brother Brandon Stark and a group of noble children broke into the Red Keep of King's Landing to fight Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, who had kidnapped his sister, and was captured by the Mad King Aerys Targaryen. The Mad King uses Brynden to ensnar Rickard Stark, Duke of the North, and then kills the Stark father and son and their entourage of nobles.

Eddard Stark, who lost his brother and father, succeeded to the throne as Duke of Winterfell and became Lord of the North.

Eddard Stark didn't have his brother Brandon as big and handsome, nor did he have his brother who was brave and combative. In order to fight the Mad King, he married his brother's fiancée, Caitlin Tully, in order to gain the support of Horst Tully, Duke of the Riverlands. He and Lady Caitlyn had five children, the eldest of whom was fifteen-year-old Robb Stark.

To the west of Duke Tywin's realm is the Sea of Sunset, and to the east is the Lands of the Riverlands, the domain of Duke Horst Tully. A riverside road connects the Westlands to the Riverlands through Count Leo's Golden Tooth.

Duke Ed is honorable, impartial, and kind. Because he always has a serious look like the frozen soil of the north, he is often misunderstood for indifference and arrogance.

Because of his dedication to honor and fairness, Eddard Stark has earned the respect and love of the nobles of the North.

Among Jon Snow and several other children, their father Ed is a role model for them to follow.

Jon Snow has more distinct Stark characteristics than his half-siblings. He was lean, with the same rectangular face as Ed, dark brown hair, and gray eyes like his father. His half-siblings inherited his mother, Caitlin, with maroon hair and blue eyes.

Eddard Stark looked at the young man's eager expression, his heart was sour, he naturally understood the young man's true identity, but he could not say it, it would cause an uproar and jeopardize his friendship with King Robert and the relationship between the monarch and the courtier.

Jon Snow was born to King Robert's most hated Prince Rhaegar and his sister Lyanna Stark, who hid in the Tower of Bliss in the Crimson Mountains of Dorne sixteen years ago after Prince Rhaegar kidnapped Eddard's sister Lyanna Stark. Ed and six of his best friends found the Tower of Elysium, and fought fiercely with the three Kingsguards guarding the Tower, and all but Ed and another friend survived, and the rest were killed on the spot.

This is the famous Battle of the Tower of Bliss!

Ed enters the Tower of Elysium and sees his sister Lyanna, bleeding profusely with a newborn child lying beside her. Lyanna was relieved to die after her brother was orphaned, and Eddard Stark brought the child back, falsely claiming to be his illegitimate child, whom he had raised for fifteen years, as his own flesh and blood, but his wife, Lady Caitlin, always rejected this 'wild seed' of unknown origin, and harbored contempt and hostility towards the child.

"Father, I want to know who my mother is, where does she live, is she dead or alive, what is her last name, is she the fisherman's daughter or Lady Vera?"

Eddard Stark looked at Jon Snow, the last name of all bastards in the North. Snow is the most common thing in the North, and using it as an illegitimate child's surname is itself discriminatory. For example, in the southernmost part of the kingdom, in the desert land of Dorne, the bastard's surname is Shad, which means sand, and sand is naturally the most common thing in the desert, and the meaning of belittling the lowly and vulgar birth of the bastard is obvious.

"Jon, when I return from the South, I will come to the Wall of Desperation to find you, and I will tell you everything about you and your mother in detail. Ed said solemnly.

There was disappointment in Jon's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, knowing that his father wanted him to be strong.

"Okay, Father, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

"Wait until I'll get back!"

Afterwards, Bunyan Stark, the chief Ranger of the Great Wall of Despair, bid farewell to his brother Eddard Stark, and Bunyan and Jon Le turned their horses and headed north. A snowy icewolf darting out of the grass by the side of the road chased after its master, Jon Snow.

A few months ago, Eddard Stark's soldiers caught an escaped night watchman outside the Wolf Forest, and the night watchman was frightened by something, and incoherently said that he had seen a strange ghost in the ghost forest outside the Great Wall of Desperation, and the strange ghost was a legendary icy thing that had been extinct for thousands of years, and Eddard naturally did not believe it. He used his family's sword, Ice, to cut off the head of the deserter. On the way home, Ed and his party discover a giant ice wolf that had been killed by the antlers of a male deer, and found six wolf cubs left behind by the wolf.

So, each of Ed's six children was a wolf cub.

A few months had passed, and the wolf cub had grown to the size of a hound, and the wolf that belonged to Jon was named Bai Ling, and his hair was snow-white, without a single variegated color. Bai Ling was hunting in the grass, and when he realized that his master had left, he immediately chased after him.

Not far in front of the avenue, a procession awaits Bunyan and Jon, including the Night's Watch recruiter Yoron, an experienced Raven who leads two young men who have committed theft to the Wall of Despair to join the Night's Watch. In addition, there is a dwarf known in the Seven Kingdoms, the second son of Duke Tywin of the West: the little demon Tyrion Lannister and his two attendants.

Tyrion Lannister was born with a deformity, with stubby legs and an immenately large head, which led to fears that his neck would fall off when he walked around because his neck could not bear the weight. He has a prominent forehead, an ugly countenance, two eyes one black and one blue, long blond hair shiny white, and a messy beard with brown and gold huángsè on his chin.

He followed the king's brother-in-law to the north to fulfill one of his great wishes: to go to the end of this world, on the top of the Great Wall of Desperation, and to pee on the ice and snow of the north.

At the southern end of this King's Road is King's Landing, thousands of miles away, and at the northern end is a military fortress on the Great Wall, thousands of miles away: Castle Black!

Each Stark would send a Stark to serve as a night watchman on the Wall of Desperation, a rule that had lasted for eight thousand years. The Great Wall of Desperation, one of the Nine Wonders of the World, is thousands of miles long from east to west and 700 feet high, and is a northern barrier that prevents the northern savages from going south to burn and loot.

While the obese King Robert Stark was heading south with his royal courtiers and his own prime minister, in the West, Magic Mountain was stepping up his conscription and training, and he was moving three routes at the same time: Crag Rock City personally recruited 900 infantry, Lannisport was called up by Chiswick Cregan to gather his former Sword Regiment with a target of 1,000 men, and Sweetmouth Raffard Clegan and Dunson Clegan took Duke Tywin's conscription order to the dungeons of the major nobles in the West to recruit troops, with the goal of completing the order of 500 Cregan cavalry issued by Duke Tywin.

The collection of the first batch of 300 recruits in Crag Rock City went smoothly and unexpectedly, and the number of people who came to sign up for the army was ten times more than expected. Under the benefits of tax reduction for the whole family of one person to be a soldier, under the cìjī of exempting food tax in the first year of being a soldier, and attracted by the military salary of seven silver deer every month as a soldier without having to bring his own weapons and armor, the enthusiasm of the people who came to serve as a soldier was unprecedentedly high, and they came to line up in the middle of the night, bustling and endless, alarming the sleeping Rock City.

Ten days later, the smooth and perfect conscription of Rock City ended, all 900 recruits were in place, the original 150 garrisons of Rock City were all incorporated into the recruit team, and Rock City had a 1,000 and 50 infantry team in just half a month, and began to be under the nose of the Magic Mountain, almost cruel combat training. To Count Gavin's surprise, the brutal training did not see the soldiers' complaints, and their enthusiasm for training was high.

Such an efficient build-up speed swept like a raging wind, making Earl Gavin of Craging City feel like a dream when he thought about it.

Night.

The Count's Bedroom in the main castle.

A large wooden box was pushed in front of Count Gavin and Hibbel.

Magic Mountain and Jenny, as well as the old man Buzz and his granddaughter Esther, who only came from Klegon Village today.

Old Man Buzz took his grandson Esther in a carriage and was ordered to come to Crag Rock and bring the box for Count Gavin of Crag Rock.

Esther is the new wife of the knight Polivier Clegane.

At the suggestion of the Magic Mountain, Count Gavin opened the large wooden box.

In the next second, the Count and Madame's eyes widened.

A large wooden box filled with golden dragons.

There is one more such chest, which is placed in the hall below.

The golden dragon is very beautiful, emitting a shining golden glow, as if each one is new.

That's right, this is the result of the Magic Mountain's private coinage.

I have a very rich gold mine, as long as the mint has enough manpower, all the flow operations, day and night, direct coinage is too simple.

"Father, here are five hundred golden dragons, plus five hundred in the hall, which is enough to pay three months' military salary. Magic Mountain said.

Count Gavin and Madame Hibell were amazed.

"As I said, I'll solve the gold thing. "And the purchase of milk, it is not only the purchase of the hearts of all the people in the territory, it can actually be made into a business that can make a lot of money." Jenny, have you got the glass tube I wanted?"

"I have asked the merchants of the city to find several glass tubes of different forms and sizes in Lannisport, and you will teach me what to do. ”

"I'll teach you tonight, and my father and mother will come with me. Magic Mountain said.
