The cyan castle faces south, is several hundred meters wide and more than a kilometer long.

A pair of circular gatehouses rise next to the gate, and in the middle are paired with round and square towers, dividing the castle into a front atrium, a central atrium, and a rear atrium.

Even if it's not as good as the inner castle of Riverrun, it's impossible to walk through every part of the castle in half a day.

......

The gatehouse, which is dozens of meters high, casts a short shadow in the midday sun.

The shadow had not yet crossed the drawbridge, so the people waiting in front of the moat were sweating profusely.

The leading lady, sweating, the thin satin dress was tightly attached to her body, she was petite, but she had a gourd-like body, under the bend waist, the hips were round, the neckline was wide open, and even the white Mill lace in the long skirt could be seen.

"Your Excellency, we've been waiting for you for a long time," her voice tinged with grief.

As if complaining, as if expecting.

"Ravenna Swain, my lord," the lady continued, looking up at the Black Knight, but there was no fear or dodging in her eyes when the ordinary man saw the Black Knight.

She stared straight at the Black Knight's mask, as if she wanted to see through the mask's expression.

......

"Tsk," Jones under the mask pursed his lips, stepped on the stirrups, and rolled down, his iron boots clanging against the ground.

Jones lifted his mask and smelled the scent of the noblewoman.

However, his movements did not stop at all, and he saw his left hand on his right chest, bowed slightly, and said, "Jones Amber, my wife." ”

This noble lady is naturally the wife of the former Count of Acorn Hall.

As for why Jones would be so polite to a lady who had a beheaded earl, it was entirely because the woman's family, the Swain family, far surpassed the Moswood family, who were the former Earls of Acorn Hall.

The Sven family can be said to have a long history and powerful power, and they can be regarded as a great prince under the command of Baratheon Storm, which can completely match the status of the Amber family in the north.

So he had to give basic etiquette to the people of the Sven family, even if that person might just be from a side branch.

One big and one small, one black and one white, two figures, the contrast is obvious, and the picture seems to be frozen in front of a moat.

Before, he was staring at the noble lady, his eyes were spewing fire, and he felt that his body was about to be melted by the faint sound of the northern soldiers, and when he saw that his commander was so courteous to this noblewoman, he immediately changed his expression, held his head high, and did not squint, as if he had returned to the north in an instant, and his body was frozen again.

......

"Not Madame anymore, my lord," said the lady faintly, then pointing to the thin little girl who was a few of the few who followed, "this is my daughter, Carrylyn Smallwood, of course, now named Carrylyn Swains. ”

"My miss," Jones said with a slight nod at the little girl.

The little girl has a melon seed face as white as her mother and long black hair.

He had actually reached the age of aristocratic engagement, but he looked very young compared to his mother next to him.

The little girl lifted the hem of her skirt stiffly, bent her legs at the knees, and said, "I've seen adults," but her voice was sweet, as if she was singing.

"Lovata Vance," said the old woman with the club, seeing the Black Knight looking at her, a little stiffly.

"Well, I've seen Madame," Jones nodded back.

"Marco Piper, you fought with my brother, Count Piper, and your bravery deserves to be sung by all of the Riverlands," said the pot-bellied middle-aged man enthusiastically.

"I've seen your nephew in Riverrun, and he's as brave as his father," Jones replied with a 'serious' face, and he kept complaining in his heart, "You and Count Piper and your nephew don't look so alike, even the name is exactly the same as your nephew, and Count Piper is a pig teammate who can only cry." ”

At that time, Earl Piper had been going out of the city to fight, and was later captured along with Amoud Tully, Blackwood, and Brecken.

After Robb defeated the army of kingkillers, he was attacked by the Demon Mountain, and after chasing the cold ice north for a while, he was delayed back and forth, and as a result, Amud Tully and the princes of the Riverlands had been transported to the west.

That's why Jones saw at the banquet all the new generations of the Blackwood and Brecon families.

As for why the old woman and the middle-aged man were there, Jones also guessed something.

Both Fort Rest and Pink City were burned, and it was not surprising that they fled north, and now a group of people remained in the nearest Acorn Hall.

Jones had just met with a few nobles when a short-haired young man burst out of the drawbridge and shouted, "I'm coming...... I'm coming. ”

His hands were raised, stained with unknown slime and blood.

When he rushed in front of everyone, he stopped abruptly, stood unsteadily, waved his bloody hand "Oh, oh", fell forward, and the iron ring necklace on his body also jingled......

Jones immediately stepped forward and helped him, and then saw the young man's bloody hand on his arm.

The scent of the noble lady that his nose smelled was instantly replaced by the smell of his blood.

"It's just been washed," Jones thought with some annoyance, of course, the tungsten armor had not only been washed, but also repaired in Riverrun, and the traces of the previous ice scratches had basically disappeared.

"You're my mas...... Bachelor?" Jones said helplessly, looking at the iron ring necklace on the young man's chest.

"Yes, yes, yes...... Maester Belton reported to the adults," said the young maester, breathlessly, "I just went to deliver the horse......

"We'll talk about that later," Jones wasn't interested in what he delivered, even if the midwives weren't surprised, it was all a bachelor's job, "I'm more concerned about whether the ravens in Acorn Hall are still there?"

"Yes, yes," Belton said with a quick nod, "I released all the ravens after the kingkiller entered the city that day, and I ...... thankfully."

Jones interrupted him again, there was a row of knights behind him, and he still had a lot of things to do, "I know, just be here." ”

In this world, there are ravens, which is roughly equivalent to having a mobile phone, no, it should be a walkie-talkie.

Although the communication object and content are limited, the speed is not so fast, and the security is also poor, but it is better than nothing.

......

"Barry has seen your lord," cried the tall, angular knight with short blond hair.

Jones nodded imperceptibly, then walked over to another knight standing straight.

"Rodney has seen an adult!"

"Scott has seen adults!"

......

......

"Marjery has seen an adult!" cried the last knight, who looked like a big boy, not tall, with a flushed face, and a trilled voice.

"Nineteen in all," Jones said silently in his mind, "nineteen sir." ”

Although these people are not as good as the sons of the earls, most of them have a good surname, or have been valued by other knights or nobles.

......

Suddenly, the black knight said unhurriedly,

"Why is it that Count Paiper is dead, but you are still alive?"

His tone was soft, but it made all the jazz fall into an ice cave.

The sun seemed to be covered in an instant, and in an instant, everyone's face became extremely stiff.

Standing there without moving, I only felt a cold sweat running down my spine.
