In the past few years, Sam's life had been pretty good.
When he brought the female savage Jilly to the old town, he didn't want to stay in the City of Knowledge for long.
Before leaving the Great Wall, the City of Knowledge could still be maintained. Sam didn't mind getting a necklace and becoming an official scholar.
But after a long journey to the City of Knowledge, he realized that even in the old town, where the scholars were based, the scholars were no longer respected by the people.
Not only did they lose their honor, they were also like rats, carefully hiding underground. At any moment, there was the danger of being assassinated by Faceless and being captured by bounty hunters and sent to the naked streets of the holy church.
At that moment, the glorious image of the scholars in Sam's heart was shattered.
After 'Sir Ace' was killed by the doctor, he immediately prepared to bring Jilly back to his hometown.
But not only did the doctor not let him go, he even added more responsibilities to him.
— — The first person to kill a deviant ghost became the symbol of the City of Knowledge, the representative of the scholars.
The deviant ghosts became an undeniable fact. The arrival of the long night proved how stupid the City of Knowledge's previous actions were.
If the City of Knowledge wanted to save itself, it had to start with the reform of the leadership.
The old scholars of the City of Knowledge had offended the Dragon Queen and lost their credibility in the hearts of the people and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
The doctor understood that if he wanted to save the City of Knowledge, he had to at least let the person at the helm of the City of Knowledge gain the recognition of the Dragon Queen.
Then, he realized that there was no one more suitable than Sam Tully.
Firstly, Sam was a noble, so it was easier for him to be accepted by the nobles. His identity as a night watchman and his experience in fighting deviant ghosts would also be liked by the people.
Secondly, Sam was smart, studious, simple, and never lacked courage in crucial moments. In the Seven Kingdoms, he was a rare talent.
Among the apprentices of the City of Knowledge, he was a first-class talent.
Lastly, Sam's relationship with the Dragon Queen was good.
Thus, Sam was forced to stay in the City of Knowledge and was nurtured by the scholars as the 'Young Master' of the City of Knowledge.
When the Great Wall collapsed and deviant ghosts rampaged in the North, the doctor confessed to the people of the Seven Kingdoms: I am guilty, I thought that the long night and deviant ghosts were stories made up by the northerners; I am guilty, I represented the City of Knowledge to bear all the responsibility of the scholars during the Dance of the Blood Dragon; I am guilty, the ideal of the 'real world' of the City of Knowledge was too absurd; I am guilty …
The doctor of the City of Knowledge admitted to seven major crimes in total. Then, he went to the Starry Sanctuary next door to "lose his hair and become a monk".
The Starry Sanctuary did not simply allow him to "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha". They also took him for a parade to atone for his sins. Since the old doctor voluntarily surrendered himself, Archbishop John left him a pair of underpants to cover his private parts.
After parading through the streets, the old professor also served as an ascetic in the Holy Church. He was barefoot, dressed in linen clothes, given clean water and bread, given a wooden bed in a shack, and received 997 karma.
The old professor resigned to atone for his sins, and Sam's life began.
He became the fastest apprentice to be promoted to a Bachelor, and then immediately advanced from a Bachelor to a Doctorate at a record-breaking speed. In less than a month, he became the youngest person in history to be elected as the Head of Doctorates in the City of Knowledge.
When the battle of King's Landing ended, his younger brother Dickon died in battle, his father joined the Sons of Warriors, and Fat Sam suddenly became the acting Earl of Horn Hill.
When Danny participated in the Honey Wine River Tournament, Dickon was already married. When he died in battle a few years later, he was already the father of two children.
It was just that his son was too young to fulfill the responsibilities of an Earl in the long night, so Uncle Sam temporarily took over the position of the City Lord and Earl.
Before the deviant ghosts of the Western Region rushed into the Riverbend, Sam was still reforming the City of Knowledge in the old town.
Since then, the City of Knowledge had established a connection with Dragonstone Island. Every time Fatty encountered a major event, he would ask the Dragon Queen. When the Dragon Queen was not there, he would ask Dr. Malvern for advice.
When the Dragon Queen formed a volunteer group in the Riverbend, Fat Sam took the initiative to lead a large number of scholars upstream to the city with the most severe disaster. In his spare time, he opened a magic school, and in wartime, he fought against the ghouls on the city wall.
When he retreated, he could teach and educate people, and when he advanced, he could kill the enemy.
Unknowingly, the once cowardly and timid Fat Sam gradually grew into the heir that his father had always looked forward to.
Well, even though Fat Sam had made a lot of progress now, Randall Tarley was still not satisfied with his only remaining son.
Because Fat Sam, who shouldered the two great jobs of a Night Watchman and a scholar, actually had three illegitimate children with a female savage!
His eldest son was raised on Dragonstone Island as the adopted son of Count Bolon of Blackwater. His daughter had just turned one year old this year, and his third son was still in the womb of Savage Jilly. He was three months old, and his gender was unknown.
Scholars and Night Watchmen both had sacred vows to not marry and not have children!
Now that the people of the Seven Kingdoms knew that his son was an oathbreaker, how could the Paladin Commander not be angry?
When the Dragon Queen held a great trial in the Fairy City, Randall specially wrote a letter to the Queen, requesting that the Queen also put his oathbreaker son on trial.
He even suggested that the Queen should treat Fat Sam like those blacklisted professors, and arrange for bounty hunters to arrest him. Even if they did not want him to be publicly exposed, they should at least force him to "lose his hair and become a monk".
Danny refused.
Compared to the City of Knowledge's Dragon-slaying Plan, the War of the Usurpers, and the death of the Mad King, Sam's trivial matter was not qualified to be discussed in the Great Council.
A case that even a county magistrate could decide, how could the Queen waste her time?
Furthermore, Westeros had a total of four professions that required one to make sacred vows to not marry and not have children. They were Scholar, White Knight, Monk, and Night Watchman. Fat Sam was already half of them. If he were to shave his head and become a Monk, wouldn't it be an even worse crime?
.....
"Sir Manager, Professor Marwin of Dragonstone Island sent a letter."
That evening, Fat Sam had just finished his magic class and was eating dinner with his wife, daughter, sister-in-law, nephew, mother, and sister when he heard Scholar Leo's voice from outside the door.
Geographically, Horn Hill was located in the middle of the river.
The Crimson Mountain Range divided the Mande River Plain in the north and the Honey Wine River Plain in the south. Horn Hill was built on the Crimson Mountain Range and guarded the important pass that connected the two plains.
Therefore, Horn Hill was an important stronghold to stop the Deviants from entering the Honey Wine River Plain.
When the scholars went north to support the castles, Fat Sam naturally chose his hometown.
Because of Fat Sam's identity as the City of Knowledge's Manager, Horn Hill also became the headquarters of the anti-ghost scholars.
Fat Sam smiled comfortingly at his family and climbed down from the wide bed. He put on his leather boots and walked out the door.
There was a fireplace in the living room, but the hall was too empty. Fat Sam had just walked out of the warm side hall when he was chilled by the cold air.
"What is it?" Sam asked on the way to the Crow's Nest.
Leo shook his head. "I don't know either."
Fat Sam did not have magic talent, so he had to go to the Crow's Nest to communicate with the glass candle.
There was an unwritten rule in the Westeros nowadays that only the scholars who could activate the glass candle were qualified to manage the Ravens.
Compared to the traditional Ravens, the glass candle communication was too fast and convenient.
"Did you see Miss Margaret when you returned to the old town this time?" Sam rolled up his sleeves and walked on the snow in the courtyard.
"She's not crazy." Leo exhaled a puff of white smoke and said directly.
He was the one who bought Rosie's first night, Leo Tyrell, nicknamed Lazy Leo. He was the junior of Black Girl Larissa and one of Marwin's apprentices.
In terms of seniority, Leo was Margaret's uncle.
"That's scarier than being crazy." Sam's eyebrows showed a hint of worry. "After the battle of the hundred teams, the situation in the Riverbend has stabilized and nothing major has happened in the past few months. However, we did not win the final victory.
The temperature is dropping day by day, and the Faceless Deviants are causing trouble on the other side of the strait. You know that, right?
The continent of Ursos is in danger and could collapse at any time. Therefore, the Riverbend must not be disturbed during this period of time. "
"Don't worry. She may be restless, but the old man in the old town and Horace Redwin are not fools."
"Horace …" Sam muttered. "I really hope that his father, Earl Pykster, is still alive. The Green Pavilion Island is a mess now. It's not serving the purpose of the Riverbend at all."
Horace was the eldest son of Earl Pykster. He had a generous face full of freckles. His abilities were as mediocre as his looks.
In the early years, when Randall Tully was desperate for an heir, he had thought of sending Sam to the Green Pavilion Island to be his adopted son.
Unfortunately, not everyone of the same age could become Robert and Eide.
Horace not only failed to guide Sam in the 'good' direction, but also bullied and humiliated him, making him even more autistic and cowardly.
Not long after, the fatty returned to his hometown in tears, looking like a coward.
No one would have thought that after growing up, the two of them would have completely opposite experiences.
Fat Sam had won a lot of praise in the Riverbend over the past few years, while the 'smart and brave' Horace was despised and cursed by all the Riverbend nobles.
"Horace's abilities are a little weak, but the chaos in the Green Pavilion Island can't be blamed on him. There were too many refugees."
Leo was now Sam's follower, but he was in the same circle as Horace back then.
Sam shook his head. "Look at Taz Island. Its geographical environment and development are far inferior to the Green Pavilion Island, but it's thriving under Madam Sansa's rule.
Not only does it accept the refugees from the Stormlands, but even the commoners and nobles in the royal territory and the River Bend can find a way to survive there.
They organize the craftsmen to make glass and build glass shelters on a large scale. They arrange for the people to dig caves to live in or grow mushrooms. They form fleets to fish in the ocean and fish for kelp in the coastal waters …
There are more than six hundred thousand people on the island. Everyone has a job and food to eat. It's well arranged.
Look at the Green Pavilion Island. It only accepts less than a hundred thousand refugees, but it sends out letters every day to the River Bend nobles and the Dragon Queen for food and fleets.
I've sent ten scholars to help him, and the day before yesterday, he sent a letter asking for more scholars.
He can't even copy Madam Sansa's homework? "
Leo could not refute. He could only sigh. "Horace can be considered average, but the women in the Westeros are especially outstanding in recent years.
If Horace marries Margaery, I guarantee that he'll be able to take care of the Green Pavilion Island. "
Sam stopped in his tracks and turned to ask, "Whose idea is this?"
Leo's eyes flashed. He probed, "Margaery has this idea. Horace has always been in love with her, but the High Court Rose back then did not like him at all."
"Does Horace know that she poops in public …" Sam was a little embarrassed.
"Don't even talk about watching her shit. That guy is even willing to lick it for her," Leo said absentmindedly.
Sam felt disgusted. He frowned and asked, "Count Haithar agreed?"
Leo said heavily, "Margaery's mother is his biological daughter! Under the premise that it doesn't endanger the Haithar family, of course he hopes that his granddaughter can have a good ending.
You know Horace's character. He doesn't have the ability to covet the position of the High Court Lord. "
"I'll help you ask Dr. Marwin," Sam said.
He knew that Leo represented Tyrell's branch family and hoped that Margaery could have a good home.
