After a catastrophe, the High Court was already full of devastation and lost its former beauty.

With pain and tears in their eyes, the roses swallowed their anger and began to build their garden again.

People always have to look forward.

Inflatable fish don't seem to be used.

The titular master of the High Court, after the civil strife had been pacified, was drunk all day long, and fell asleep in bed, as if he wanted to escape everything in this way.

Fortunately, no one expected him to do anything.

The old and spicy Lady Olena has arrived at the High Court, decisively taking over the affairs and arranging everything in order.

Of course, some wounds take time to heal, just as gardens that have been ruined by the Iron People need time to regrow.

Samwell took Margaery's hand and walked through the bare garden, listening to her gentle voice speak of nostalgia for the beauty of the past, but his mind was immersed in the property panel.

Because, his title has become the Earl of Storm's End.

There are also 10 free attribute points attached to the back!

It's ten o'clock!

Samwell was finally convinced that the correct way for him to open this attribute panel was to gain stat points by increasing his title, not kryptonite as he had previously thought.

Of course, Storm's End is actually worthy of the title of duke.

It is also a fiefdom that has always been guarded by the stormland.

Unfortunately, the Duke of Metz is not qualified to canonize another duke, let alone appoint a Guardian of the Stormlands.

Therefore, Samwell can only "succumb" to the position of earl now.

This made him can't help but think about how many attribute points he would have if he could be legally canonized as a duke.

Twenty o'clock?

And what about the king?

Of course, thinking about these is still a bit far away, and he is hesitating now how to add these ten points.

Whether it's evenly split between strength and agility, or a concentrated one.

Since it depends on the number of times you swing your greatsword, adding strength seems to be a more cost-effective option.

But the mental attribute seems to be quite good, after all, the spirit can be converted into strength and agility, and adding one is about equal to adding both. In case of emergency, he can also decide which one to transform his spirit into according to the specific situation.

However, this transformation is time-limited, and Samwell experimented with it and found that the time was about ten minutes, and it was impossible to convert a second time in a short period of time.

In this case, it may not be the best choice to add to the spiritual attributes.

Maybe it's better to add strength and agility to it......

"Sam, grandmother is ahead." Margaery shook the man's hand, pulling him back from his thoughts.

Samwell collected his mood and stepped forward to salute.

The servant brought fragrant tea and preserved fruit snacks to the two of them, and then quietly retreated.

"That fake inflatable fish that entered the city last night, is that you?" Lady Olena broke through.

"Yes." Samwell did not deny it.

"It's bold enough." Lady Olenna sighed, but then said, "But you shouldn't kill Ewen Oakhet. ”

Samwell explained: "If betrayal really didn't cost anything at all, but gained a lot of benefits, then I'm afraid more people will follow suit." So, Ewen Oakhert must die. ”

"But if you kill people on the spot, you are not afraid of angering the rebels?" Lady Olenna didn't wait for Samwell to continue to explain, and then added, "I know that if you want to kill Aiwen, Togan will accept your affection, and at that time the two sides have reached a settlement agreement, and the rebels have no courage to go back. But in any case, you were taking a risk, and you were risking the lives of my sons and grandchildren. ”

Margaery couldn't help but speak, "Grandmother, Sam took a great risk to save the High Court, it's too unfair for you to say that. ”

Samwell tightened his fiancée's hand and smiled:

"The old lady is right, I was indeed a little too impulsive at the time."

Samwell understood that this kind of thing had better not be argued with the Queen of Thorns, otherwise he would definitely be stabbed in the body.

He could understand that Lady Olenna cared about her children and grandchildren, but to be honest, such weakness would lead to endless trouble.

Of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Olenna's anger comes from his and the Equestrian Party's self-inflicted initiative, after all, this time the rebellion is obviously controlled by the Equestrian Party, and they are openly and secretly restricting and guarding against her, fearing that she will fall to the Deer Party and exchange Samwell's head for the lives of the High Court and her children and grandchildren.

Subject to the Horse Party in this way, it is understandable that Lady Olena has resentment in her heart.

Fortunately, this civil unrest was resolved smoothly.

The only trouble is that Velas Tyrell is a hostage.

But when Velas marries Sir Togan's daughter in the future, he will be free, but this marriage may not satisfy the High Court.

Lady Olenna glared at Margaery, apparently complaining about her granddaughter's appearance to outsiders.

However, she didn't dwell too much on the matter, after all, Samwell did solve the rebellion and save the High Court anyway.

Lady Olenna said:

"Okay, you don't have to worry about the follow-up of the rebellion in the future, and leave it to me to deal with."

Samwell nodded silently, thinking in his heart that the Redwin family on Qingting Island might not have any punishment.

Sure enough, as my father had said, the Tyrells wanted to maintain balance.

And Lady Olenna will inevitably keep the Deer Party to avoid letting the Equestrians dominate the Riverlands and even override the Tyrells.

Thinking of this, Samwell felt more and more that he should go back to Storm's Rest and take the Stormlands into his bag first.

That's the power that can really be controlled by yourself.

"I heard you asked Mace for the title of Earl of Storm's End?" Lady Olenna said.

"Yes."

"How can an earl rule the Stormlands?"

Indeed it is.

Samwell holds the title of Earl of Storm's End, which may not make the nobles of the Stormlands submit sincerely, not to mention that he is also a vassal of the Duke of the High Court, and it is always a little embarrassing to hold the authority of the Stormlands.

Therefore, not only for the sake of attribute points, but also to control the Stormlands in the name of righteousness, it is better for him to find a way to get a duke title.

"But now I can't find a king willing to canonize me." Samwell sighed, "The one on the Iron Throne will definitely not work, the Lannisters will want to eat my flesh and drink my blood." As for Stannis, this guy will certainly not be willing to give me the fief of House Baratheon. ”

"Any news from Stannis since the last King's Landing? Is he alive? Margaery asked.

"Alive." Lady Olenna said, "Stannis has picked up a small life, and has now returned to Dragonstone. However, he shouldn't be able to make any waves. ”

"The Three Northern Realms still support him." Margaery said again.

Lady Olenna let out a sneer:

"Northerners can't protect themselves. Winterfell has been conquered by the Iron People. ”

Samwell frowned when he heard this, and said:

"The Iron People can't hold Winterfell."

"I can't hold it. But the Iron People have muddied the waters, and that's enough to make some dishonest careerists ready to move. ”

Samwell immediately thought of Marquis Wade Frey of the Twin Cities and Count Luce Bolton of the Castle of Terror.

These two betrayed the Stark family in the original books, and now they are probably among the dishonest fellows that Lady Olenna calls them.

From this point of view, the situation in the north is really not optimistic.

"If the Three Northern Realms can't withstand the pressure of the lions, we should raise troops to attack King's Landing as soon as possible." Samwell suggested, "Can't let the Lannisters go too well. ”

"Let's see what happens." Lady Olenna's brows furrowed slightly, "First to conquer Dorne, and then to send troops to storm the lands, the civil strife has just ended, and Riverbend needs to recuperate for a while now." ”

Samwell could only nod helplessly.

At this time, if a conscription order is issued, it is estimated that most of the lords of the river bend will have complaints.

I hope that the alliance forces of the Three Northern Realms will not collapse so quickly.

Lady Olenna looked at Samwell, who was deep in thought, and said, "Actually, if you don't want the Northern Three Realms Alliance to collapse too quickly, you should go to Doron Martell. ”

"You mean the tens of thousands of northern troops who were held in Dorne by the Martell family, right?" Samwell Road.

In fact, after he captured Storm's End, he remembered the army of the Three Realms trapped in Dorne.

Because there are quite a few Storm Land armies among them.

If he can convince the Martell family to release them, it will not only help ease the situation in the north, but also help him win the support of the Stormlands lords.

However, Prince Dowland's asking price will not be low.

"Prince Daolang won't release the Three Realms army easily." Samwell shrugged, "Unless I agree to his terms and marry Princess Arlene." ”

"It's different." Lady Olenna said, "You didn't conquer most of the Storm Lands, let alone occupy Storm's End. Prince Dolang may not insist on the previous conditions. ”

"Maybe you can try it......" Samwell didn't really think that Prince Doran would be so easy to talk to.

Lady Olenna glanced at Samwell and said, "If you don't have the confidence to convince Doran Martell, maybe you can change the condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"Give the Martel family a queen."

"Queen?" Samwell looked puzzled, "You wouldn't say Princess Arlene, would you?" ”

"Nope." Lady Olenna shook her head slowly, "I'm talking about Princess Mycella Baratheon. ”

Samwell suddenly realized.
