On the wharf outside Yangwu City, several merchant ships loading and unloading goods are docked.

On the mast of one of them hung a lilac banner with a sword and a shooting star crossed over each other—

This is the coat of arms of the Dane family, Lord of Starfall.

"Boss, there's a master looking for you down there!"

Captain Gilmour walked out of the cabin with a smell of alcohol and shouted impatiently:

"Which master?"

"I don't know. He didn't say it. ”

"He didn't say you wouldn't see for yourself! Damn idiot! ”

"But he doesn't have any family crest on him, what do I think?"

Gilmour frowned and cursed a few words, but still staggered off the boat.

Then he met what the crew called "the old man" - a thin middle-aged man, handsome in appearance, elegant in temperament, with a small beard on his chin.

Although this person does not have any family crest on his body, the fierce-eyed Gilmore dares to bet with all his net worth that he must be a noble lord.

Gilmour stepped forward, his face already full of smiles: "This lord, what do you command?" ”

Petyr Berishi threw a silver deer and, without waiting for Gilmour to thank him, asked:

"Is your ship bound for Starfall City?"

"Yes, sir, are you going to Starfall City too?"

"No, I'm going to Hawksbill Island."

"Hawksbill Island?" Gilmour touched his bare head in confusion, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't think I've heard of this place." ”

"Just south of the mouth of the Turbulent River, across a bay from Starfall City. You'll pass by on your way to Starfall from here, but with a slight offset. If I can, I'd like to take your boat and the cost is not a problem. ”

"I seem to be a little impressed......," Gilmour seemed to remember something, "but, sir, I remember that it was a barren mountain area, and there was nothing, and you were sure you wanted to go there?" ”

"Your message is out of date." Petyr smiled his trademark smile, "There's a territory there now. ”

"Territory?"

"Yes, the Duke of Metz canonized the Pioneer Knight, and Sir Samwell Caesar has established a domain there."

Hearing that it was the territory established by the Riverbend people, Gilmour's face changed slightly.

Dorne and Riverbend have a thousand-year-old feud, although Gilmour often stops at Riverwan's harbor for business reasons, but as a Dorn, his hostility towards Riverwaners in his bones can never be erased.

"There's nothing but stone in that place, and the people of the river bend are crazy, and they want to go there to explore?"

"No one said anything, there was a silver mine there."

"Silver mines?" Gilmour's eyes uncontrollably glowed.

"yes. I heard that the territory has now begun to take shape, with tens of thousands of people. ”

"Tens of thousands of ......," Gilmour's expression gradually became serious, "That's really not small...... When did this start, and why haven't I heard anything about it? ”

"It seems like it was just over four months ago."

"Tens of thousands in just four months?" Although Gilmour doesn't know how to pioneer, he also knows how amazing this speed is.

"Yes. It was a young and promising pioneer knight, and I was going to visit him. Can you carry a ship of you? ”

Gilmour reined in his thoughts, and quickly nodded with a smile:

"Of course, sir. I just wanted to go there too. ”

"Okay, when is your ship leaving?"

"Leave on time at noon, sir."

"Okay, then I'll go to the city first, and I'll be back later."

"Yes, sir."

Gilmour looked at the figure in the distance of Petyr, suddenly patted his head, and said to himself:

"I forgot to ask the old man's name! Forget it, I'll ask when he comes back, I don't know which family's lord ......"

With that, Gilmour staggered back to the ship.

……

It's noon.

Gilmour lay on the side of the ship, looking in the direction of Yangwu City, but he never saw the noble lord appear again in the morning.

He thought that the other party was just delaying, so he decided to wait a little longer.

However, Gilmour did not know that the noble lord he was waiting for had already boarded a merchant ship bound for Braavos and had already set sail.

As the sun set in the west, Gilmour's patience was finally exhausted.

He smashed the bottle in his hand on the deck, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Don't wait! Let's go! ”

After setting sail, Gilmour steered the rudder and couldn't help but think—

Why don't you stop by and take a look at that Hawkspeak Island?

……

Among the crimson mountains, a tall and majestic castle stands abruptly.

A lilac banner fluttered at the head of the city, with a sword and a shooting star crossed on it.

If you want to talk about the oldest family in Westeros, there may be some controversy, but if you want to talk about the oldest family in Dorne, it must be the Dane family of Starfall City.

Legend has it that 10,000 years ago in the Age of Dawn, the first Dane came here in search of the fallen stars, and built his castle at the mouth of the Turbulent River.

His descendants ruled the mountains west of Dorne under the name of "King of the Turbulent River" until the Martell family, who united the Loynards, to conquer all of Dorne.

"Samwell Caesar?" Ser Ulek Shad, the acting lord of Starfall City, frowned, "Caesar is a family in which territory of Riverbend?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

Gilmour stood cautiously in the middle of the hall and replied:

"Sir, I've inquired, this Sir Caesar is actually the eldest son of the Horning Thali family, and was later canonized as a pioneer knight by the Duke of Mace, and then went to Eagle's Beak Island to open up."

", the Tully family......" Ulric's brow furrowed even tighter, "Since he is the eldest son of the Tully family, why did he give up his inheritance and come out to open up?" ”

"This ...... This ......"

Seeing Gilmour's slurping, Urric knew that the other party didn't know: "Okay, you go down." ”

"Yes, sir."

After Gilmour left, Ulek leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Although the Dane family's territory includes the mountainous areas along the Turbulent River, it is more accurate that they only have enough influence on the east side of the river, and as for the west of the river, most of the wild tribes there do not consider themselves to be the Dain's people.

Not to mention that it is not along the Turbulent River at all, but is already on the Eagle's Beak Island, further south of the river's estuary.

But the fact that the Riverbend had built a city in the Crimson Mountains, and near the mouth of the Turbulent River, made Urric nervous.

After all, it's not that far from Starfall City.

Samwell was also the name of one of the great Turbulent River Kings in the history of the Dane family, nicknamed "The Spark", who conquered large swaths of the southern part of the riverbend, including even Old Town.

Now, there is actually a Samwell in the riverbend, what will he do?

Urek pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand to summon his attendant and commanded:

"Send a few trustworthy merchant ship owners to ask them to also go to Eagle's Beak Island, inquire about the situation there, and come back to report to me."

"Yes, sir."
