Chapter 32: Canonization of Knights
With 2o soldiers and 1 prisoner, Ma Shen returned to Harrenhal by the same route, and it was not long before he saw the shadow of the walls of Harrenhal.
"There's Harrenhal up ahead. Ma Shen lazily asked the prisoner Ross, who was sitting on his horse with his hands tied, "Have you ever been to Harrenhal?"
"I haven't been there, but I've heard of the name of Harrenhal, the largest and most majestic castle in the Seven Kingdoms. Loes replied.
"What else?"
"Also, I've heard that it's also an ominous castle. Los looked at Ma Shen and said cautiously.
Ominous castle, the reason for bad luck, Ma Shen sneered, after Heron, the families that once occupied Harrenhal but have become extinct, in order: the Kohoris family, the Harroway family, the Topway family, the Strong family, the Rothstein family, and... The Ha An family, and these families are either known for their brutality, or they have not chosen the right camp, or they are not as populous as the Ha An family, and they have never seen a cursed family.
Touching the horse's neck, Ma Shen continued to ask, "What is your father's name?"
"Carlo Pokhara"
"And what about your mother?" asked a few normal questions, and Ma Shen suddenly asked, "Which nobleman do you hate the most?"
"Keller Conton," Loes blurted out, and his face fell, "What's going on?" ”
"Oh, so you hate Sir Keller, I'll tell him about it next time. Ma Shen laughed, and along the way, he continued to use the True Language and Hallucinations on Loth, and his experience increased a lot.
In the past, in addition to not knowing whether these skills would have a permanently bad effect on the human body, there were restrictions on the use of skills.
But since that night when the sky crossed the red star, the limit of the skill has been loosened a lot, and it can be used 1o times a day, so after having a sparring partner, you can brush experience points when your physical strength allows.
Therefore, at present, Ma Shen is no longer worried about the number of times he uses his skills, but begins to worry about his physical strength, which is both magic and physical strength.
"Your Excellency!!" Scar shouted in the direction of Harrenhal in the distance, and rode up to meet him.
"How do you know I'm back?" asked Ma Shen as he unreined in his horse and smiled at the scar man who arrived.
"I am your most loyal subordinate, and I feel it as soon as you return. ”
"Sycophants. Los muttered quietly, and when he saw Scar Man, he inexplicably felt like he had met an opponent.
Although Loss's voice was small, it was still heard by the scar man who had good hearing, and he looked at the rope tied to Loss's hand suspiciously: "My lord, who is this?"
Ma Shen said with a smile: "The captive plus my sparring partner." ”
"It's a captive!" Scar Man suddenly realized, "It's also merciful, if I'm an adult, I promise it. ”
"Are you an adult?" Before the scar man finished speaking, Los replied confrontally, maybe the eye edge of this thing really exists, and Los was very unhappy when he saw the scar man, and immediately reversed the original decision to have a good relationship with everyone, "So you are plotting against Lord Ma Shen?"
The two men looked at each other as if they were in the light of fire.
"Which one do you choose, Golden Dragon Coin or Knight?" Ignoring the fight between the two, Ma Shen interjected, after he left, if the principal of Harrenhal was a civilian without any title, some of them would not be able to shake some bad intentions, so before leaving, they should canonize both Scar Man and Jeffs as knights, and reward the two of them for their contributions during the Battle of Harrenhal.
"Knight?" Loger, who was about to teach the hateful captive a lesson, jerked his head up.
"That's right, knight, I have just been canonized as an earl, and I feel a little unhappy not to canonize a few knights. Ma Shen said meaningfully, "Based on what I know about you, you should prefer 1ooo Golden Dragon Coins, then I'll give you Golden Dragon Coins." ”
"My lord, how can I be that kind of greedy businessman, I have always fought for the honor of my lordship. The scar man swore and patted his chest.
"It's very sunny, I appreciate you, but what's the matter. Ma Shen sighed, "I really miss the box of gold dragon coins that the Lannisters snatched. Gently patting Scar Man on the shoulder, Ma Shen led the others on their way to Harrenhal.
The soldiers passing by all glanced at the scar man with envy, and many people's ultimate dream was to become a noble knight, and the person in front of them was already at their fingertips.
The scar man stood stupidly for a while, a little crying without tears, others don't know what it means, he has been with this adult for so long, don't you know, the adult obviously looks down on his savings.
But for the sake of the knight, fight, the scar man gritted his teeth, and he was not stupid, how could some gold dragon coins be compared with the knight's title.
It didn't take long for the scar man to come to Ma Shen and put all his savings on the table "gently", "I heard that the adults are worried about the bereavement expenses of the families who died in the war, so my lord, in order to be more loyal to the adults, I am willing to give all I have... All the possessions are given to the adults. ”
"I have received your loyalty, my knight" Ma Shen looked at the big bag of gold dragon coins in front of the table with satisfaction, it is not easy to pit the scar man for some money, there are more than 2oo gold dragon coins, it is enough to see that the scar man has not been idle these days.
After Ma Shen's words, the scar man's original heartache immediately disappeared, and he looked at Ma Shen ecstatically.
"Go and get ready, I've already had everyone in Harrenhal informed that they should come in the afternoon to witness your canonization. ”
"Yes, my lord!"
The silhouette of the skylight flanks the soft peaks of the mountains, which is a good day to canonize knights.
In the square in front of the main fort, rows of guards in red armor held back the surging crowd.
Jeffs and Scar Man Loger were already waiting on the side of the square with solemn faces, and at this moment Scar Man Loger was no longer wearing a dirty cloth armor, but wearing a black and bright armor that came from nowhere, and an undyed wool coat.
After waiting for a while, the excited Scar Man couldn't help but communicate to Jeffs next to him: "Old man, how do you feel, when you are about to enter the earth, you can be canonized as a knight." ”
"Very nice. Without bothering with the scar man, Jeffs replied in a good mood.
"Me too. The scar man grinned, but suddenly heard a commotion, "Your Excellency is here." ”
Wearing delicate armor and holding a long sword, Ma Shen slowly walked to the center of the square, and after bathing and changing clothes, Ma Shen no longer had the dust caused by the rush.
"Dear residents of Harrenhal, you are gathered today mainly to reward Jeffs and Lodev for their exploits in the Harrenhal Guard, and ask the gods and everyone to witness it, and at the same time!" Ma Shen shouted as he looked around at everyone, "I will announce that all soldiers who participated in the defense of Harrenhal will be paid 1 gold dragon coin!"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there was still a reward to be paid for defending Harrenhal, and the peasants and commoners recruited by the nobles were dead when they died, and where could they be paid.
Ignoring the crowd who had not yet reacted, Ma Shen continued to read aloud on the stage: "All young people who participated in the defense of Harrenhal can get a reward of 1o silver deer, and all those who die in the battle to defend Harrenhal, whether they are soldiers or young people, their families can get a pension of 1o gold dragon coins." ”
"Long live!" and "Long live Lord Ma Shen!" and "Long live" are occasionally mixed with the cries of some women and children, and with this money, they can raise their children well, and they don't have to do some dirty jobs like everyone else.
Ma Shen waited for a while, and after everyone had eased their emotions, Ma Shen continued: "Although it is not much, it is still the same that they can live well with the hope of their dead relatives! ”
"Come on, Jeffs"
Jeffs, who was waiting on the side, straightened his clothes, came to Ma Shen, and knelt down on one knee.
Glancing at Jeffs encouragingly, Masin placed his sword on Jeffs' right shoulder:
"In the name of a warrior, I ask you to be brave. ”
The long sword was moved from the right shoulder to the left shoulder.
"In the name of the Father, I ask you to be just. ”
Return to the right shoulder.
"In the name of Our Lady, I ask you to protect the weak and the innocent. ”
Move back to your left shoulder.
"In the name of the maiden, I ask you to protect all women"
"The name of the old woman... “
In front of Ma Shen, the majestic building showed a blurred outline against the light, and the glass panels of the panes were particularly eye-catching, and in front of Ma Shen, Jeffs said his vow aloud:
"I swear in the name of the Seven Gods that in my knighthood I will be merciful, merciful and kind to the weak, and will never threaten the unarmed crowd, good women and children will be my object of protection, sincere to my friends, help my brothers and knights, defend what I love, unto death, humility, integrity, sacrifice, justice, honor, valor, mercy!"
"I believe your oath, get up, Knight Jeffs"
In the same process, Ma Shen canonized Scar Man Loger as a knight, and unlike Jeffs, there is an extra sentence in Scar Man's oath: "Fight to protect the honor of Lord Ma Shen." ”
