Because of the abundance of gold and silver mines in the West, a large number of horse-drawn carts and ox-carts pass through the Golden Highway every month to bring the gold and silver mines into King's Landing's mint for smelting, and in order to facilitate the horse-drawn carts and ox-carts to smoothly walk on the Golden Highway in various mountain ranges in the West, the roads in the West are the most and best built by the Seven Kingdoms.

In addition to the Esplanade leading to the High Court, the Golden Avenue leading to King's Landing, and the Interriver Avenue leading to the Riverlands, the large and small roads that crisscross the western part of the territory are also very smooth and spacious, even the field roads can pass through horse-drawn carts and ox carts, and the cavalry can walk in the fields without hindrance.

Alec sows grain seeds in the field.

Sir Gregor had not long given the order to cut down the opium poppy and plant it in rice, and it was not long before her field was cut down with poppies. Together with his neighbors, Alec brought water from the canal, ploughed the fields, leveled the seedlings, bought new seeds, soaked the seeds and sowed them into the seedlings after they had sprouted.

In terms of planting in the first season, it was already a little late.

In the fields of other noble domains, the seedlings of the first season have already drawn out the ears of grain.

However, because it is summer all year and the climate is suitable, you can harvest rice at any time of the year.

It's a cold March in the north in the north, it's a hot March in Dorne in the south, and it's the lukewarm season in the Riverlands and the west.

Alec, who was working with his head down, heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the field road.

It is said to be a small road, but in fact, it is also a thoroughfare where horse-drawn carts and ox-carts can pass.

The field paths are also accessible to horse-drawn carriages and are paved with smooth, hard-wearing gravel roads, which are unique to the Seven Kingdoms only in the West.

Alec glanced up and went back to work.

Alec judged that the path was coming from a knight of noble status.

She saw horses, helmets, armor, and swords.

These are things that ordinary soldiers and mercenaries rarely possess.

Many of these noble knights were brutes, and whenever they saw a good civilian woman in the field, they would jump off their horses and carry them to work in the woods. If there is no one on the road, and no one else is working in the nearby fields, they just hold on to the side of the road and do it.

Alec's heart pounded.

This is the territory of the Magic Mountain, and she is the people of the Magic Mountain, but the nobles on the left and right know that the Magic Mountain never protects the people under them, and they have never cared about their life and death. Being raped by a passing knight was nothing more than a trivial matter in the eyes of the nobles for a single woman working in the fields.

Alec bowed his head to work, away from the side of the road, hoping that the knight would pass quickly.

Something had worried Alec had happened, and the horse's hooves had stopped moving forward.

"Hey, woman, come here!" a gruff voice called.

It was the knight on the horse, and he was shouting at Alec.

In the nearby farmland, Alec was the only one busy.

Alec's first instinct was to run away, but she knew she couldn't outrun a horse. As long as she runs away, she will be quickly overtaken by the knight. The field paths are criss-crossed, and the horses can easily catch up with her.

Alec's heart was pounding, and she pretended not to hear and went on working. She wished to wear down some of the knight's patience, and she prayed that the knight would leave soon, for it was the mud field that protected her now. The knight must not go down to the field to catch her, but she is still very worried that the knight will be angry, or she is very patient to wait for her on the horse.

Although the Magic Mountain fought a ruthless fight for Thomasman's youngest daughter Julie and the Charlotte family, killing dozens of cavalrymen, this does not mean that the Magic Mountain attaches importance to the protection of the people of the territory. Magic Mountain just does what he wants to do, and has nothing to do with the sense of responsibility to protect his people.

"Woman, do you want me to come down and arrest you? Come up obediently yourself, and I will not kill you, nor will I spare your family. Immediately the knight said lazily.

Alec's home was not far away, and since it was meal time, her children went back to cook, an eleven-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl. Standing at the top of the field, you can see the smoke rising from the roof of her thatched house.

With two clangs, the knight pulled out the knife from his waist and struck it on the armor of his arm.

Alec felt the blood flow backwards all over her body, she had trouble breathing, and her hands and feet were sore. She felt her head raised, and she heard her own voice speak, "Knight, I am a citizen of Lord Magic Mountain. ”

"I'm not a knight. "Immediately the knight said, "I am a soldier, a miner. Woman, you look really good, come here, let's go to the grass in front, and it will be done soon. If you let me do it once, I won't hurt you, and I won't kill your family. ”

Not a knight.

Alec breathed a sigh of relief.

Ordinary soldiers, then this guy is also like her, an ordinary civilian, so there is no need to be particularly afraid of him.

"Soldier, get out of here, haven't you heard the name of Lord Alva of the Magic Mountain? The seventh young master of the Charlotte family, Sir Alvar Charlotte, robbed Miss Julie to the mine, and after being known by the Lord of the Magic Mountain, he rushed to the mine and killed Sir Alva. I am under the protection of Lord Magic Mountain. ”

The Mashan miner smiled, "Woman, when did Lord Demon Mountain protect his people? Don't make me wait any longer, or you'll regret it." The knight pointed to the thatched house in front of him, "That's your home, someone is cooking, if you don't come up, I'll go to your house and wait for you." ”

Alec was scared and had her two children at home.

"Soldier, you swear in the name of the Seven Gods that you will leave when you are done, that you will not beat me, that you will not go to my house, and that you will not harm my children. ”

"I swear in the name of the Seven Gods!" the horseman raised his hand, "I swear to you only in the grass, not to beat you, not to go to your house, and not to hurt your children." ”

“...... Thank you, soldier......" Alec felt the heat on her face, and when she reached out, she realized that she was crying. Two tears were pouring out, and I couldn't stop it at all.

"Come up, Alec!" said the horseman, jumping off his horse.

Alec didn't understand why the cavalry knew her name, she found that her brain was not enough, she couldn't figure it out, her mind was booming, she mechanically walked out of the rice field, put down the dustpan with the grain seeds, washed the mud from her legs, she heard her own voice say, "Soldier, then hurry!"

The cavalry suddenly hugged her tightly and said, "Alec." "The voice is strange, and it sounds familiar.

"Can't be here. Alec said, "Go to the grass." It's easy to be bumped into on the road. Your armor hurts me. ”

The cavalryman lifted his helmet with one hand, revealing a swarthy face, the face of Alec's longing.

"Stone!" Alec was stunned.

The husband suddenly came back majestically wearing a knight's armor and a long sword hanging from his waist?!

"Alec, I'm sorry. Blackstone regained his voice, "I just wanted to play a joke on you. ”

Syllable!

A resounding slap in the face.

Half of Blackstone's face turned red.

Blackstone smiled, picked up Alec and hurried to the grass.

Syllable!

A louder slap in the face.
