Samwell looked at the woman in front of him, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.

Because the other party really doesn't look like a wild man.

The kind of elegance and pride that comes out of the bones can't be pretended, and it can't be imitated, and it can only be cultivated from a young age with worry-free food and clothing, someone to serve you, and a good tutor.

Such a woman can only appear in the castles of nobles, and not in the crimson mountains, which are filled with barbarism and ignorance.

"Lady Nala, take the liberty of asking, are you a native savage?"

Nala smiled slightly, as if she was not surprised by such a question:

"I'm afraid not."

"I'm afraid?"

"Yes, my lord. A lot of people have asked me similar questions, but I can't really give them an affirmative answer. Because, I don't remember it myself. ”

Samwell's expression suddenly became a little strange:

"Have you ever had amnesia?"

"Yes, sir. The previous patriarch of the Raven Tribe, my husband, rescued me in the summer sea more than ten years ago. But I can't remember why I fell into the sea, and I lost all my memories from before. ”

Na stretched her hand and brushed the hair around her ear, her tone slightly melancholy, "Maybe I used to be a noble lady in some castle." But it doesn't matter anymore, now, I'm just the patriarch of the Raven Tribe. So, my lord, this time I'm here for my people. We are not involved in the conspiracy of Linya, and we have no intention of making enemies of you, so please let those innocent people return to the forest. ”

Samwell didn't rush to respond to Nora's request, but looked at the other party's purple eyes and fell into deep thought.

As for Nala's true background, he actually has a guess.

There are not many families with purple eyes in Westeros, and the most famous is of course the royal family of the former dynasty - the Targaryen family.

But the Targaryen had silver hair and purple eyes, and the woman in front of him had dark brown hair.

Moreover, the existing Targaryens are all exiled on the continent of Essos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and it is impossible for them to appear in the Summer Sea.

There was one woman who fit Nala's situation very well.

That's the sister of Arthur Dayne of the Sword of Dawn, the dream lover of Eddard Stark, Duke of the North, and the goddess of the Kingsguard "Fearless" Barristan Sermy-

Ashara Dane.

First of all, Starfall City, the territory of the Dane family, is on the east bank of the Turbulent River estuary, not far from here.

Moreover, almost more than ten years ago, after the end of the Usurper War, Eddard Stark came to Starfall City with the inheritance greatsword [Dawn] of the Dane family, returned it, and informed the "Dawn Sword" Arthur Dayne that died in the Tower of Elysium, it is said that Ashara Dayne could not bear the blow of her brother's death, and in grief, she committed suicide by jumping into the sea from the top of the White Stone Sword Tower.

However, her body has never been found.

Now it seems that Ashara, who jumped into the sea, probably did not die, but was rescued from the sea by the previous patriarch of the Raven Tribe, and lost her memory because of it.

Thinking of this, Samwell's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Nala.

Starfall is the most important city in the western part of Dorne, located on the shores of the Summer Sea, across the sea from Samwell's territory.

If he wants to get his hands on Dorne, Starfall is the best pedal, and the Nala in front of him, that is, Ashara Dane, is a key that can open the door to Starfall City.

"Lady Nala, I know that you are not involved in the conspiracy of Linya, so you will not embarrass the warriors of the Raven Tribe, you can take them away at any time."

"Thank you for your kindness and justice." Nala quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked her.

She was just about to say goodbye, when she heard Samwell say again:

"I am here on behalf of the Duke of Metz to explore this place, and I am willing to provide shelter for all the wild people, I wonder if the Raven Tribe is willing to become my lord?"

"I'm sorry." Nala refused, "We Raven tribes only serve the Old Gods, and we cannot be loyal to a knight who believes in the Seven Gods. If this mountain forest has become your territory, then we can also leave, the Raven Tribe never occupies the land. ”

Samwell didn't come as a surprise to Samwell.

After all, no one wants to surrender to a person for no reason.

If it were another tribe, Samwell would either directly subdue them or expel them outright.

But the Raven Tribe, whether it's Nora's true background or the Ghost Grass, makes it impossible for Samwell to use violence easily.

Gotta be gentle.

Samwell smiled slightly and said:

"In that case, I will not force you. However, it is not necessary to leave, as long as you do not attack my people and do not enter their settlements without invitation, I can especially need you to remain in this forest. Also, you can trade freely with my people. ”

Nala was a little surprised, she really didn't expect this young lord to be so generous.

"You are truly a benevolent lord. On behalf of all the people, I would like to thank you! ”

"I'm glad to reap the friendship of the Raven Tribe." Samwell laughed, "Oh yes, Lady Nala, I heard that there's a ghost grass in the Crimson Mountains, I wonder if you've seen it?" ”

Nala was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Of course I do. It is a rather rare weed, with a mysterious spirituality, and only those who have been favored by the old gods can find it in the mountains and forests. ”

Samwell was overjoyed, and then asked:

"Can you help me collect the Ghost Grass? I can pay for it, one silver deer per plant. Of course, if you want to exchange it for food of equal value or something else, you can do that. ”

Nala pondered for a moment and said:

"As long as you promise me one more condition, our Raven Tribe will collect the Ghost Grass for you."

"On what terms?"

"You and your people must not destroy a single tree in the Crimson Mountains."

Samwell was stunned for a moment.

Is there still a fish beam wood in the Crimson Mountains?

The fish beam wood is a sacred tree in the hearts of the believers of the Old Gods.

But did he remember that all the fish beams and trees in the south had been destroyed by the Andals, except for the north?

However, the Crimson Mountains are so big, it is possible that some fish have slipped through the net.

"Yes. I promise your conditions. In fact, if you know, you will know that I did not force all my people to convert to the Seven Gods, and they can still voluntarily keep their original faith. I also respect your faith and will not destroy the fish beams. ”

"You have a tolerant heart, and the gods, old and new, will protect you!" Nala smiled.

The negotiation went much smoother than she had expected.

The young nobleman of the river bend was far friendlier than she expected.

With this guarantee, she didn't have to worry about the destruction of the remaining Fishbeams, and at this moment, she even sincerely hoped that Samwell's territory would continue to expand, so that more Fishbeams could be protected.

Moreover, the ghost grass can actually be exchanged for a silver deer, and this exchange agreement can greatly improve the lives of the clansmen.

What a generous lord!
