These days, there were only a handful of Westeros who could gain the recognition of the Dragon Queen.
Brennie, the "Roseless Iron Guard" who came from Taz Island in the Storm Lands and was famous in the Trident River, was one of them.
Meribad, the old monk who had been riding a donkey in the King's Territory for decades to help the poor villagers and provide church services for the people, was also one of them.
Stryker, the old fox of King's Landing who had a booming business at the Brown Soup Shop but was getting poorer and poorer, was half of them and was still unknown.
Anyway, Bull Neck Marvin only knew these three people, and Sam was the other half.
The Dragon Queen also admired Sam a lot.
However, it was not that she approved of his virtue — Fat Sam's integrity was also good — but his bravery.
He had the courage to eat anything and dare to eat anything.
Of course, Marvin would not say that.
"It's true. Your son is very brave. He was actually the first person to kill a Deviant Ghost. After him, the Queen sparred with a dozen Deviant Ghosts under the Great Wall …"
Marvin seemed to be praising Sam on the surface, but in fact, he took the opportunity to publicize the Dragon Queen's heroic fighting against the Deviant Ghosts.
After all, he also knew the identity of the person in front of him: the most popular general in the Seven Kingdoms, the third duke of River Bend.
Even if he could not rope him in, he could erect the image of the Dragon Queen in his mind. Perhaps it would be useful when the right opportunity came.
There were many legends about the Dragon Queen, but few people mentioned her battle record against the Deviant Ghosts.
The main reason was that people did not believe in the Deviant Ghosts at all, or rather, they were skeptical. The Queen fighting a Deviant Ghost alone sounded like a legend.
Secondly, the Great Wall was too remote, and the transmission of news was distorted and slow.
Perhaps, as more and more Night Watchers appeared, the business of Mole Village got better, and more prostitutes came to make a living, or even attracted a group of bards and singers. Only then would the story of the Dragon Queen truly spread.
However, Marvin's calculations were in vain. Randall Tarry's focus was not on the Dragon Queen at all.
"Sam can kill a Deviant Ghost … Are you sure?"
Count Tarry's expression became strange.
Were deviant ghosts that weak?
Even the weakest man in the Seven Kingdoms was able to kill a deviant ghost for the first time. Even if the long night was real, there was nothing to be afraid of!
The Jiaoling soldiers under his command were all great men, and each one of them could fight against twenty Sam warriors.
"It's not a secret in the Great Wall. Everyone calls your son the 'Deviant Ghost Killer'!"
When the Count saw a large number of cultivators walking in, he guessed that the martial arts competition was about to begin. He skipped the part about the "Deviant Ghost Killer" and asked the main purpose of his visit to Dr. Bull-neck.
"That child … That bastard betrayed the oath of the Night Watchers and threw away the honor of the Tully family. He actually gave birth to an illegitimate child, and it's a female savage!!!"
Randall Tully's thin lips pursed into a blade-like arc. His stone-like face flashed with nine parts embarrassment and one part helpless concern.
Now, Marwin understood.
Sam had intended to hand the baby over to his father, but the old man refused. Instead, he left the child on Dragonstone Island.
Dragonstone Island and the King's Landing were separated by Blackwater Bay, and Dragonstone Island and the Iron Throne were enemies …
The daughter of a wealthy merchant, Zhuo Wenjun, eloped with a poor scumbag, Sima Xiangru. Her father was ashamed and unwilling to help his daughter.
Zhuo Wenjun sold wine on the street across from her father's house.
Her daughter sold wine on the street. As a famous person in the city, her father was naturally embarrassed. Under the shame, he could only fork out money to support his daughter and son-in-law.
In this way, Zhuo Wenjun not only kept her marriage, forcing her father to admit that what was done could not be undone, but also ensured that her family would not have to worry about food and clothing.
This was the allusion to Zhuo Wenjun selling wine as a prostitute.
A straight-A student was indeed a straight-A student. She was much smarter than Wang Baochuan, who was struggling to stay in the cold cave.
Alright, I've digressed.
In a way, Fat Sam had unintentionally done the same thing as Zhuo Wenjun.
Leaving the child on Dragon Island and shaming the father.
"Lord Count, you're thinking of …"
"Give the child to me!"
Count Tully tried his best to keep his face emotionless.
"This …" Marvin was in a dilemma. That's not your grandson. Your son can't even be compared to Pan Xia.
"What do you plan to do with the child?" The short doctor asked.
Randall Tully coldly glanced at the "meddlesome" doctor and said lightly, "The glory of the Horn Hill Tully cannot be tarnished. I will secretly send the illegitimate child to a sacred hall in the bay and let him become a nameless monk. This is the best way for him to atone for his sins."
Damn it, I thought you brought him along to educate him!
What a waste of emotion.
Marvin shook his head with a straight face and said, "I'm sorry, Count. The Queen has already handed the child over to Count Bolon Blackwater. He has become his adopted son."
"Blackwater Bolon, a mercenary who used despicable means to seize Stokworth Castle? Is he worthy? "Randall Tully's eyes were cold as he growled," This is humiliation! The Duke of Dragonstone Island is humiliating me, humiliating the Tully family! "
The "Duke of Dragonstone Island" mentioned by the first general was naturally Danny.
He did not acknowledge her status as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and was not at all interested in her status outside of the Seven Kingdoms. That was why he only called her the "official title" of the Westeros, which was recognized by the Iron Throne.
Marvin said seriously, "Who can say for sure about the dark secrets of the noble families? You should go and find out what Queen Cersei did. The Count of Blackwater's methods may not be honorable, but he had no choice but to retaliate. "
"Hmph, do you think his past as a mercenary can be erased? What honor does a mercenary have? "Randall Tully said coldly.
"Count Tully, the Count of Blackwater is of the same rank as you and has the same status. You are an important minister of Lannister, and he is also one of the three ministers of Dragonstone Island. Insulting him is the same as insulting the Queen!"
Marvin was getting impatient. He was filming a live broadcast for the Queen!
The Queen definitely did not like to see Count Tully's stone face. He was wrong. The Queen was watching it happily!
"Doctor, are you the one insulting me?"
When Randall Tully heard this, he really felt humiliated. He was the Count of Horned Hill, the descendant of Garth the Black Hand, the Minister of Justice, and the number one general of the Seven Kingdoms. Yet, he was actually of the same status as a mercenary …
"Look at the subordinates of the Duke of Dragonstone Island. A heartless mercenary as a count, a Dark Star who murdered a child as a White Knight, and that Orred Weishui who betrayed the Queen …
These scum are the important ministers of your Queen. “
"As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked." Marvin was also angry. He retorted, "No matter how bad they are, they still follow a great Knight Queen and walk on the path of glory.
Count Tully, you are righteous and brave, but you are loyal to the bastard son you despise and hate the most. "
Randall Tully was so angry that his right hand unconsciously reached for the left side of his waist … He was dressed in formal attire today, without any armor or sword.
"How dare you slander the King!"
"Count Tully, have you forgotten why we are here today?"
Marvin was not afraid in the face of the general's murderous gaze.
"The Seven Gods will clear the Queen's name." Randall Tully was not confident anymore.
"The person who said that is either bad or stupid," Marvin muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
"The Prince Regent, Queen Cersei, and Queen Margaery have arrived!" A monk's shout interrupted the quarrel between the two.
Randall Tully glared at the short doctor and returned to his seat.
The messenger naturally would not shout in front of the Seven Gods in the Great Cathedral. In fact, Cersei and the others had just stepped onto the Visania Hills. The cathedral was too quiet, so the voices from outside could be heard.
"Bitch Queen, shame on you!"
"Bitch Queen, the Seven Gods will punish you."
"Long live Margaery!"
"Rose of Mercy!"
"Holy Mother Margaery!"
.....
Outside the square, the people of King's Landing shouted like a tsunami.
The two women who had cheated on each other received completely different treatment.
Cersei wore a dark green velvet low-cut dress that matched the color of her eyes. There was an emerald belt around her waist. Her chin was slightly raised, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
Margaery wore an ivory dress that was woven with silver thread. The dress was long and large, but the waist was extremely thin, showing off the queen's alluring figure.
The Empress Dowager was holding You Lun, who was wearing a long leather coat embroidered with golden sea patterns. The Empress Dowager was holding Prince Regent, who was wearing a golden red cloak.
King Tommen did not come.
The four members of the royal family were not too ostentatious. Other than the three white knights, there were no servants or maids.
Like the ordinary people, after entering the quiet and solemn cathedral, they separated and prayed before the statues before getting up and being surrounded by the nobles.
Kevon prayed to the Holy Father, Margaery prayed to the Maiden, and You Lun sneered and walked to the side.
The key was Cersei. She prayed to the Holy Mother, "Holy Mother of Mercy, please let Robert tear the Sparrow into pieces, the more miserable the better. It would be best if the Sparrow Rebellion could take my uncle Kevon and the bitch Margaery away, just like the bread rebellion years ago."
Oh, and the nobles in the cathedral, kill … half of them. If she did not kill a bunch of nobles, how could she have an excuse to massacre the beggars in King's Landing?
Needless to say, after being trained by the Sparrow for a few months, Cersei's faith was quite high. It was almost 1.3, which was over the standard line of believers. She could let the Holy Mother hear her prayers.
The question was, was it really okay to pray to the Holy Mother like this?
"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!"
The bell on the cathedral tower rang again seven times.
Inside and outside the cathedral, there was silence. Everyone knew that the trial of martial arts was about to begin.
Cersei stepped out, guarded by the White Knight Marin Tran and a Son of War, and stood in the middle of the cathedral.
Then, two duelists entered the arena.
Robert Strong wore milky white plate armor and a helmet with colorful silk feathers symbolizing the Seven Gods. The Sparrow walked in in hemp clothes, followed by two Sons of War who were holding armor and silver hammers.
In front of everyone, the Son of War put on a hard leather coat for the Sparrow, a shiny light gray ring armor, a metal helmet, and a half round helmet with only a nose guard.
Compared to the White Knight who was covered in steel armor, the Sparrow was almost naked.
In fact, his bare feet, which were as dark as old tree roots, were exposed.
The big sparrow was also tall, 1.85 meters tall, but it was especially thin, like a hemp pole.
But standing next to the White Knight who was 2.4 meters tall and had legs as thick as tree trunks …
"The Sparrow is dead! I don't know where this Robert Strong found him. He is almost another Magic Mountain, but the Sparrow is definitely not as good as the Red Viper.
I have personally experienced it. The Red Viper hitting the Magic Mountain ten times is not as effective as the Magic Mountain hitting the Red Viper once. "Tyrion sighed.
