Just when Stannis couldn't stand the cold, a figure rushed in, it was the younger brother Robert, who was carrying a small wooden barrel filled with a black, viscous liquid.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm here to help you ward off the cold!" Robert said, scooping a spoonful of black liquid and pouring it on the firewood.

In an instant, the fire was in full bloom, and a violent light and heat shock wave rushed towards Stannis, like a mini-nuclear explosion, and a huge blue fire slowly rose in the shape of a mushroom. But what surprised him even more was that at the moment when the flames rose, he seemed to see the faces of countless people evaporating from it.

But now, at last, Stannis no longer felt cold, he even felt very stuffy, after throwing away the sheets and taking off his coat, Stannis still felt too hot to be dry, he leaned on the windowsill and blew the cold wind to feel cool.

"What's so good, so fuel-fueling, oil?" asked Stannis, looking back curiously.

"It's oil. Stannis patiently corrected him and said, "Also known as dead man's oil, it is extracted from dead people buried in the ground for thousands of years. ”

"Dead man's oil!" Stannis didn't expect that he was actually relying on corpse oil to keep warm, this kind of thing was extremely disgusting when he thought about it, "Is there a mistake! Are you cursing me by burning this thing!

Robert wondered, didn't the world from which this traveler came use oil to heat up?

"Oh, boss, don't be foolish anymore! Have you forgotten that Xilu has always used oil for heating, these things are very expensive, and I begged for a long time to get such a little from Albert's stall. ”

Now Robert has been able to unknowingly remind Stannis not to leak his mouth, lest he be debunked by others.

"Ahh ”

Anyway, oil and coal are also made from dead things, and his heart is calm when he thinks of this.

Seeing that Robert was not entangled, Stannis slowly paced back to the fireplace, and curiously scooped a spoonful of dark oil and poured it on the fire again, this time as before, with the brilliant light of a nuclear flame, a large hazy human face appeared from it and then dispersed.

Maybe these faces are the owners of these oils!, Stannis thought, there are so many amazing things to explore in the fantasy world.

However, now that it has finally warmed up, Stannis is ready to make up for the loss of days in the warm atmosphere.

But the gate of the castle was suddenly opened, and a man hurriedly ran in from the outside, it was Lady Romone, and if it weren't for the fact that he looked so old, it would be difficult for others to believe that this old man was seventy-six this year.

"Old man, are you frozen like this, come and keep warm!" Stannis habitually amused him.

But the panting Maester Romon did not pay any attention to his teasing, but raised a letter in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Summons! Duke Garcia has summoned you to send troops for him!"

"Make no mistake, if you have to send troops on such a cold day, you can't have a good New Year!" Stannis was about to go crazy with his hair tugging.

When the lord heard that the Garcia family had to issue a summoning order in such a ghost weather, allowing him to brave the ice and snow to send troops, he immediately became angry in his heart.

"Your Excellency, you don't want to refuse the call again, do you?"

Maester Romon saw his thoughts, and was a little alarmed.

Now is not the time for the Garcia family to turn their faces, Stannis exhaled and tried his best to let the anger in his heart ask in a kind tone: "So, Bachelor, what reason did the Duke use to let me send troops this time?"

Maester Romon glanced at the letter again, and the iron blue on his face deepened a few more layers.

"It's a family in the north who has lost contact with ......"

Stannis almost didn't laugh out loud, "Is there a mistake, just send a few scout scouts to scout for this kind of thing, and gather the army, it's too much of a fuss!"

But Maester Romon continued: "I am not finished, Your Excellency, it is not as simple as determining why the connection was lost, but to find out why this family has been completely destroyed. ”

"Hat's Hell! Isn't it safe for a lord to hide in a castle, how can he be slaughtered without anyone knowing?" Stannis, as a lord, felt a sense of danger rushing over his face.

Master Romon shook his head, this matter is indeed too unbelievable, "No one knows the specific situation now, so His Highness Garcia decided to organize an army to investigate for the sake of insurance, and you are fortunate enough to be chosen." ”

"Damn, it's not my turn to do good things, this kind of errand thing thinks of me!" Stannis shook his head helplessly, this time he was going to be a scout, maybe he could make a cameo appearance as a detective.

"Call out to my allies, we're going out together this time, and if I'm half frozen to death, they'll want to stop sitting by the fire and be happy!" Stannis ordered, thinking of dragging people into the water.

But Master Romon said that he could not do anything, "I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, I'm afraid it won't work this time, because the lords who will fight are all appointed by His Royal Highness the Duke! ”

Stannis was going crazy, he wanted to show his face in front of many adults and sirs with his allies, but he didn't expect this little show off to be enough.

"Alright, then fill up 60 archers, let's go!" Stannis put on his coat and inserted his sword into the scabbard.

"Just the archers?" asked Korodov, who had come out of nowhere, suspiciously, and Stannis remembered that he had been training cavalry on the horse farm just now.

Stannis still gave an affirmative answer, "Of course, if you bring infantry, it means that you will definitely have to fight hand-to-hand, and hand-to-hand combat will kill people, and now the death of a soldier can make me feel distressed for a long time, so I decided to take the archers to hide behind and shoot arrows far away." Hand-to-hand combat is left to the other lords' men. ”

Korodov nodded as if he didn't understand, although he knew that what he said was all crooked, but he didn't bother to refute it.

"This time, Radish will follow me alone, and you will all stay at home for me!"

Stanis had already made up his mind that the cost of the expedition would be kept to a minimum, and that the construction of the port would require manpower, and that the free labor would not be wasted.
