Chapter 390 Is there something serious about this family? (Please subscribe for a 10,000-word chapter)
“What? What did you say? There is a dragon in Pentos? A living dragon? Two of the Targaryen family Is that bastard there?"
Robert Baratheon's angry roar echoed through the chambers of the Red Keep.
Although it is already late at night, under normal circumstances, this king who is addicted to wine and sex should have been drunk until he was very drunk, and then he would do some physical and mental exercises with one or more women, and then lie down Sleep comfortably in bed until noon the next day.
But now, not only was he not sleepy at all, but he was even awake from the wine. He was staring with two bloodshot eyes, looking like an angry lion.
There is no way not to get angry!
You must know that the person who hates and is most worried about the restoration of the Targaryen family in this world must be none other than Robert Baratheon.
Because he is a usurper!
He was the culprit who personally ended the other party’s rule of nearly three hundred years!
If one day the Targaryens come back to kill, then the first targets of revenge must be him and the Baratheon family.
Even the Lannister family, who was the last to stand in line and did the "dirty work", will have to move to the back.
You must know that in these years, Robert has never stopped sending people to assassinate Daenerys and Viserys, just to completely eliminate the root causes and solve the hidden dangers.
But who would have thought that two children who had lost the protection of their parents and retainers would be so tenacious.
Not only was he not killed by a steady stream of assassins, he actually took root in Pantos and even had a dragon!
Although according to the information currently obtained, the hatched dragon should belong to Governor Illyrio, not the Targaryen brothers and sisters.
But that was the demonic dragon that swept across the continent of Westeros almost three hundred years ago!
If the Mad King still had dragons, Robert wasn't sure he would have the courage to stand up and launch a rebellion to overthrow the Targaryen family.
Because no matter how powerful he is and how heavy a war hammer he can swing, he can't kill the dragon soaring in the sky, let alone the scalding flames sprayed from the dragon's mouth.
“Your Majesty, please calm down, things are not as bad as you think.
In fact, Daenerys and Viserys are not in a good situation now.< br>
The former was given to a wizard as a plaything, and the latter became Illyrio's male favorite, which can even be said to be a joke.
As the last male heir of the Targaryen family, Viserys has actually lost the possibility of returning to the Iron Throne.
No noble in the Seven Kingdoms will submit to a king who has had the experience of selling his butt, even if he has the blood of the Targaryen family on his body.
As for Governor Illyrio, who obtained three young dragons, he first has to face other free trade city-states, not the continent of Westeros.
Don’t forget, Pentos and Braavos are old enemies.
The latter happened to have the most powerful fleet and the richest banks.
If they fight, the winner will not be determined in a short while. ”
Varys, the intelligence chief, carefully calmed the king’s irritable mood.
He still can’t believe how everything he originally arranged suddenly turned into what it is now. What does it look like?
Especially the simultaneous appearance of dragons, magic, wizards, and new gods in Pantos, as well as the sudden interest of "old friend" Illyrio in men, gave this "Eight-clawed Spider" a certain Some bad premonitions
Because no matter who it is, after getting a living dragon, their ambitions will inevitably expand rapidly, and they will have the idea of imitating Aegon the Conqueror and attacking the continent of Westeros.
The nobles in Westeros who originally supported the restoration of the Targaryen family will also shift their attention away from Daenerys and Viserys and focus on those who own the dragon.
This also means that the children of the Mad King no longer have any value in being used, let alone bring even the slightest benefit. Naturally, no one is willing to continue to support or secretly provide help.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely give up on the siblings after realizing this.
But the problem is that Varys’s greatest wish and purpose is to bring back the Mad King’s heirs and make the Targaryen family the masters of this continent again.
Robert obviously didn't know that his intelligence chief was actually a die-hard loyalist of the Long family. He overturned the table and kicked down the chairs angrily, venting his inner uneasiness and fear like a madman. This lasted for a whole day. After a few minutes, he stopped panting and said sternly: "No matter what method you use or what price you pay, get rid of those two scoundrels as soon as possible.
As long as they don't die for a day, I won't be able to rest at ease for a day.< br>
Also, get rid of those dragons and the wizards who hatched them.
This world does not need living dragons!
There is no need for wizards and magic! ”
"Understood! I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Varys bowed his head humbly to show his obedience.
He understands that the usurper is currently angry, so the best response is to nod and agree to whatever the other party says.
Anyway, with Robert's character, it won't take long for him to forget about it, and he will be immersed in women and wine again, unable to extricate himself.
What's more, there are already undercurrents in King's Landing right now, and the huge crisis that has been brewing for a long time will soon completely erupt with Ned Stark becoming Prime Minister.
The first person to die will be Robert Baratheon.
"Remember! Move quickly!"
Robert warned solemnly again, then turned around and left the room angrily, planning to have two more drinks, using the alcohol's Numbness finally completely forgets these troubles.
As soon as he walked away, Petyr Baelish, who had been silent just now, immediately opened his mouth to test: "I think the incident that happened in Pentos must make you very worried, right? ”
“Oh? Why should I worry about a city-state across the sea? ”
The Octopus Spider deliberately pretended to be confused.
Since both of them are members of the Royal Council and have conducted several rounds of trials and contests in private, they know very well that the other party is far from as simple as it seems on the surface.
Just the opposite!
Compared to the nobles who always stand in the center of the stage, they are the truly dangerous and deadly masterminds behind the scenes.
"As far as I know, Governor Illyrio of Pentos was your former friend, right?" Petyr Baelish asked meaningfully.
"Ah! If this is what you are referring to, there is no need to worry. Because we have not contacted each other for too many years. No matter what actions he has made, they have nothing to do with me." Varys said solemnly. 's assurance.
But Petyr Baelish obviously didn't believe a word of this, and joked with a smile: "You are always so careful, my dear friend. But in fact, it doesn't have to be like this at all. Because from a certain To a certain extent, our goals are the same, aren't we?"
Varys's face changed slightly and he immediately denied it: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"No! You know! And you know almost as much as I do. For example, the mysterious death of the former Prime Minister Lord Arryn, and the little secrets between the queen and her brother, and those who have no resemblance to the king. Princes and princesses."
In order to understand the truest thoughts in the heart of "Eight-Clawed Spider", Petyr Baelish did not hesitate to pierce the veil between the two. .
"So? What exactly do you want to express?" Wallis asked calmly.
Petyr Baelish gently closed the door and said in a slightly playful tone: "I want to know, who are you loyal to?
If your The object of allegiance is to the king, so the true cause of the death of the former prime minister should not be concealed from him
The affair between the queen and her brother, as well as the bloodline of the princes and princesses, should not be concealed. br>If you are loyal to the queen, you should not help His Majesty Robert hide his illegitimate children that are almost too numerous to count.
So I've always been curious, wouldn't your real allegiance be to the Mad King who has been overthrown and killed, and his last son and daughter?
Or maybe those siblings were just a less successful investment of yours?
Also, how do you feel now after learning that the mysterious powers that you hate and hate the most, such as magic, wizards, dragons, and new gods, have begun to revive? ”
As these words blurted out, a dazzling lightning flashed across the dark clouded sky outside the window, followed by rumbles of thunder that echoed through the sky.
It wasn’t even a few minutes. Within seconds, raindrops the size of soybeans fell one after another
At this moment, Wallis was finally no longer the harmless smiling expression he usually showed to everyone. Instead, he looked like a terrifying poisonous spider, with a terrifying light flashing in his eyes, appearing both dangerous and dangerous. fatal.
But soon, he controlled his emotions, returned to his previous appearance, put on a false face and questioned: "What about you? My dear Lord Baelish, you What’s the purpose of being so busy?”
“Of course it’s to create chaos!
You know?
The world we live in now is not. Beautiful, it can even be said to be very cruel.
The high-ranking nobles and their descendants are like gods and forever dominate everything.
If a person does not have a good background, no matter how hard he works, how outstanding his mind and body, or how great his achievements are, he will be nothing more than an insignificant clown in the eyes of the princes and nobles.
Of course, all this is based on the order and stability of the kingdom.
But if it falls into chaos and turmoil, and war once again sweeps across the Seven Kingdoms, then the originally strict hierarchy barriers will be broken down again.
Those families that consider themselves noble and ancient will perish in cruel wars, and new families will be built on the corpses of blood and fire.
When Aegon I launched the war of conquest, he used overwhelming power to break and rewrite the order of Westeros. Why can't we do it again with wisdom and brains?
And the crazy prince and daughter you support can also get the opportunity to counterattack the continent of Westeros, right? ”
While saying these words, Petyr Baelish’s eyes never left the slightly plump round face of the eight-clawed spider.
By short After just a few minutes of testing, he has realized that Wallis is not his enemy, at least not yet.
And the two of them have the same goal, which is to create conflicts through various means. It would be best if the Starks, the kings of the north, and the Lannisters, the guardians of the west, fight each other
At that time, coupled with the conflicts and wars that may break out between the brothers Stannis and Renly of the Baratheon family for the throne, the entire Westeros continent will be in chaos and war.
Looking at the aggressive "Littlefinger" who finally showed his ambition, Varys said in a very calm tone: "Since you have said this, let us do it in our own way. Play the game of thrones, Lord Petyr Baelish."
"As you wish, my dear Varys."
Petyr said very solemnly. He put his hand on his chest and bowed.
This is not only respect for this evenly matched opponent, but also confidence in one's own mind and skills.
Compared with the "Eight-clawed Spider" who has become an "eunuch" and has no chance of being recognized by the nobility, he obviously has an unparalleled advantage, that is, his noble origin.
Although it is only a small and insignificant family with no influence, they were even ridiculed for it in childhood.
But aristocrats are aristocrats!
Even the lowest nobles are beyond the reach of common people!
This is why after many years of struggle, he was able to enter the Imperial Council and become the Minister of Finance.
In the end, the two conspirators stared into each other's eyes for several minutes before turning around and leaving the messy room, ready for the servants to clean up.
But none of them noticed that just a few seconds after they stepped out, a figure in a gray cloak slowed down and appeared out of thin air. He took off his hood to reveal a face that was far different from the local residents. Face, pursed the corners of his mouth and said to himself in a polar voice: "I can't believe that I wanted to see if I could steal something valuable, but in the end I heard such a shocking secret.
Queen Cersei had an incestuous affair with her brother, and none of the princes and princesses were the king's descendants?
The king had a lot of illegitimate children outside?
The former prime minister was very likely to die? Assassination in political struggle?
The royal intelligence chief is loyal to House Targaryen?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is ambitious and wants to provoke war and chaos?
The aristocratic circle in this world is really chaotic.
But it doesn’t matter, the more chaotic the better, the more chaotic we players can earn more benefits.
It seems that tonight’s wandering has to come to an end.
I have to tell Jack, Wu Sheng and Caroline this important news quickly.
Use this important information to seize more opportunities before other teams learn the truth..."
With the last word blurted out, the thief player instantly activated the attachment. With the magic on the cloak, the whole person was instantly shrouded in a thick black fog, and he quickly left the Red Castle under the cover of darkness.
After encountering several others, he also sneaked in with the help of magic equipment and props. When visiting players, he did not forget to say hello to each other in a friendly way, and exchange information about the terrain, rooms, and secret passages that have been discovered so far.
The guards, patrols, and Kingsguard were all in the same place. I didn't realize that this place that could have been called "heavily guarded" had already been penetrated into a sieve
As long as the players are willing, they can let kings, queens, princes, princesses, prime ministers, etc., who are at the top of the power pyramid, die in their sleep at any time and never wake up.
Of course, the reason why they don’t kill is not because they are kind or unbearable, but mainly because there is no benefit in killing them.
If someone was willing to offer a high reward, then the castle would probably be filled with blood.
In addition, in order to prevent unnecessary vigilance from stealing things too much, players who have the ability to sneak in even reached an agreement privately, that is, each person can only steal one thing every night, and Never touch such sensitive and important things as crowns and swords.
In this way, even if something valuable is lost in the Red Keep, the owner will only think that some servants or guards have dirty hands and feet.
About half an hour later, in a room on the second floor of a hotel, the thief Inez told exactly what she had overheard in the conversation between "Octopod Spider" and "Littlefinger".
In an instant!
The other three core members were all shocked.
In particular, Caroline, a genius girl whose real age is only a teenager, has always maintained an O-shaped mouth since she learned that the queen had incest with her biological brother and gave birth to so many children.
When he learned that King Robert had enough illegitimate children outside to form a football team and was wealthy, his eyes shone with a strange look, as if he had awakened some strange habits. .
After everything was said, several people present looked at each other in confusion for a full minute, not knowing how to express their complicated emotions at the moment.
In the final analysis, there is only one sentence left, that is, the aristocratic circle is really chaotic, and they really know how to play.
In the end, Jack couldn't help but take the lead in complaining: "I'm afraid this family has some serious illness!
As a king, he obviously has a beautiful queen, but he almost... Instead of sleeping with him, he always liked to go out to find prostitutes and mistresses. As a result, none of the children born were his own.
The other, as a queen, not only did not think about how to win her husband's heart, He actually committed adultery with his biological brother and dared to raise his illegitimate child as a serious prince and princess without fear of revealing his faults
I bet that if the truth is exposed, then the most powerful nobles on this continent will immediately break out into war.
Especially the Baratheon family, which has become the royal family, and the Lannister family, which Queen Cersei belongs to, will most likely fight against each other until one of them is completely wiped out. "
Wu Sheng also analyzed: "No, it's not just these two.
Don’t forget, the Stark family, the guardians of the North, are allies of the Baratheon family, and they will inevitably be involved.
In addition, the Lannister family also has quite a few allies and supporters.
This means that the scale of the war that is about to break out will be larger than all of us expected, and it will last for an extra long time.
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered it!
You said that when King Robert went north to invite Lord Ned Stark to serve as his Prime Minister, was he aware of the mysterious death of his former Prime Minister?
At the same time, you also feel that there is danger around you, so you are eager to find someone you trust to protect yourself? ”
“I think it’s completely possible!
It seems the political situation in King's Landing is more complicated than we previously thought.
But the advantage is that we know this information in advance, and now we can choose the camp first before other players react.
Based on the information currently available, it can be roughly concluded that the king and the Stark family are a force;
The queen, prince, and the Lannister family are a force;
< br>Renly and Stannis of the Baratheon family are another force.
As for the Tyrell family that rules the prosperous Reach, they lack the most basic righteousness and can only belong to one of them.
In addition, the intelligence chief Varys and the finance minister Petyr Baelish who are hiding in the dark are forces hidden in the darkness. "
Caroline quickly relied on her extraordinary IQ to deduce from the chaotic information how the major families would stand when the war broke out.
"Wait! Aren't Renly and Lord Stannis both the king's brothers? They should all be members of the Baratheon family. Shouldn't they be in the same camp as the king? "The thief Inez questioned.
When the girl heard this, she immediately showed a playful smile and explained meaningfully: "No, no, no, they may be in the same camp as the king, but they are not necessarily in the same camp as the Stark family. < br>
Don’t forget, when the news spreads that neither the prince nor the princess is the king’s seed, who will be the biggest beneficiary?
Illegitimate children in this world are the same as those in medieval Europe. It is not recognized and does not have any inheritance rights.
The most important thing is, under what circumstances do you think a war will break out among the great nobles and sweep the entire continent? "
" Damn it! You mean...the queen and her brother will kill the king and put their own son on the throne?"
Inez finally understood something, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Caroline nodded seriously: "Yes! The war will officially break out from the moment the king dies!
If I were the two conspirators hiding in the dark , will deliberately allow the queen to win the political struggle in King's Landing, but let the truth spread in the form of rumors.
In this way, Renly and Lord Stannis, who also have the right to inherit, will. There will be a war for the succession of the throne, and the brothers will even fight each other for the Iron Throne.
Similarly, the Stark family will also become enemies with the Lannister family because of the death of the king. br>
They even arranged for the new prime minister to die in King's Landing, forcing the two families to fight to the death. "
" Hey hey hey! A full-scale war sweeping the entire north and south of Westeros? I like! "Jack grinned with a violent and bloodthirsty smile.
He seemed to be a little impatient and wanted to go on a killing spree.
"So we have to make a choice now. . Which side can you stand on to get the most benefit from it? "
As she spoke, Caroline took out a simple map from her pocket and drew the spheres of influence of several families on it.
And mark the troops, equipment and material supply capabilities that may be mobilized, so that other people in the team can have a clear understanding of this.
Wu Sheng stared at the map for about two or three minutes, and quickly said: "I think it is better to choose the queen and the family behind her.
After all, in this continent, everyone Everyone knows that the Lannister must pay its debts
This shows that their reputation is very good, and there are gold mines in the family territory.
As a mercenary, there is no comparison. This is an even more ideal employer.
Moreover, this force has to face the most enemies, so it will definitely give us the maximum autonomy, and even allow us to recruit more soldiers and grow stronger. "
Jack immediately nodded and agreed: "I agree! Although Queen Cersei is not a good person, what she can give us is definitely something that other forces cannot give. Even if the Lannister family is defeated in the end, we can still get enough benefits from it. "
"Then choose the queen and the Lannister family. Anyway, our goal is to maximize profits! Who loses or wins in the end, or who gets to sit on the Iron Throne, has nothing to do with us. "
Inez shrugged indifferently.
"But before we surrender to the queen, there is one more thing we must do, and that is to show our strength. Jack, you have to perform well in the tournament tomorrow. "Wu Sheng reminded, staring into his partner's eyes.
"Don't worry! I will kill all my opponents without mercy tomorrow, and prove to everyone in the most ruthless, cruel and bloody manner that I am the strongest one in this tournament, not that bullshit demon. Mountain."
After that, Jack broke his palm, which was twice as big as a normal person and richer, with a little force, and there was a crisp crackling sound at the joints.
......
The next morning, at the temporary martial arts competition site, countless nobles and civilians gathered here to participate in the grand event.
The stands were densely packed with people, and there wasn’t even an empty seat.
The cheers and shouts were even more deafening.
In this era of serious lack of entertainment, knightly competition is simply more attractive than any kind of sports and fighting games in modern society.
Because the latter has set too many restrictive rules in order to prevent lives being lost, and it is not even allowed to hit vital parts and other fatal parts.
But what about the former?
Although there are many protective measures, it is still full of barbarism and bloodshed. A little carelessness can cause permanent disability or even death.
Many civilians came here specifically to watch the high-ranking knights and the nobles fight to the death in the game, with blood on their faces.
As the organizer of the tourney, King Robert was sitting in the VIP seat in the center of the stand, joking with interest to his friend Ned Stark, Duke of Winterfell, who was sitting next to him. Said: "You know, if it weren't for this damn belly, I would even want to go out and compete with them personally, and then win the final championship."
"Come on. If this sentence were said in more than ten years, I said it years ago, I absolutely believe it. But now..."
Ned paused deliberately, staring at the other party's chubby figure, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
You have to know that when he welcomed Robert in his territory not long ago, he couldn't believe that the invincible warrior who once looked down upon him on the battlefield and was invincible would actually become a huge fat man. He needs help from others to even get on and off his horse.
"Hahahaha! Yes! Time is really unforgiving."
Hearing his good brother making fun of him, Robert, instead of being angry, started laughing too. Without saying a word, he picked up the cup and poured out the contents. He drank the wine in one gulp and waved his hand to signal that today's game could begin.
Soon, two knights wearing plate armor and riding tall horses slowly walked from both sides to the front of the main stand.
One of them took off his helmet first and took the initiative to bow to Robert as the king.
Finally another man, who was so tall that it made people feel chilling, did not take off his helmet from the beginning to the end, but he also chose to sit on the horse with one hand on his chest and bow in greeting.
You don't need to ask to know that this guy with an unusual figure is Jack, who is mixed with the blood of an ogre and a giant.
The war horse under his crotch is not an ordinary thing, but a "Dragon Horse" purchased in the Floating City for more than two thousand gold coins. It is a horse with a small amount of dragon blood, and its body shape is almost the same as that of other war horses. double.
With thick limbs and strong muscles, it looks like a heavy tank or a dump truck in the horse world.
Coupled with Jack's height of 2.5 meters and weight of nearly 300 kilograms, the two of them are completely different in appearance.
Even the Magic Mountain seems smaller than it.
"Who are you? Why don't you take off your helmet?" Robert asked curiously.
But it is a pity that Jack, whose intelligence is only five points, does not understand the language of this world at all, so he can only take out the small wooden sign prepared for him by his teammates in advance.
I saw a few easy-to-understand words written in the common language of Westeros - I don't speak your language.
Realizing that there was no way to communicate, Robert could only let the game begin.
However, the exaggerated size of Jack and his horse had obviously aroused his interest, so when both parties were in position, they immediately gave the order to start the game.
moment!
The knights at the ends of both sides of the track began to urge their horses to accelerate.
Especially Jack's opponent, although his heart was already full of fear, in order not to bear the reputation of a coward, he still struggled to clamp the spear, trying to use the skills of hard training to make up for the lack of strength and weight. .
Unfortunately, he had no idea what he was going to face.
Jack did not clamp the long gun on the bracket and buckle under his arm as he normally would, but held it tightly in his hand.
No doubt about it!
This is definitely a move that only a layman can do.
Because the fragile wrists of humans simply cannot withstand the huge reaction force produced when the spear suddenly pokes an object when the horse is running and accelerating, it can range from dislocation to severe fractures and complete disability.
As the war horses accelerated on the tracks on both sides, the distance between the two sides quickly shortened to within the attack radius.
Just when another knight was about to assume an attacking stance, he suddenly saw Jack throwing away the shield in his hand and leaning forward, holding the reins with one hand and the spear with the other. The hand thrust suddenly.
Because the latter was originally tall and the length of his arms, the former was stabbed hard in the chest and heart with a spear before attacking him.
The next second...
Bang!
With the dual blessing of terrifying inertia and Jack's amazing strength attributes, his opponent's armor instantly dented.
The wooden pole at the front directly penetrated the steel plate and penetrated deeply into the chest in an extremely brutal manner.
Because the whole process was so fast, no one could see what was happening.
Following the victim's body, the entire body flew into the air, and the horse under his crotch made a 360-degree rotation on the field, and then flew back seven or eight meters away. Then he fell to the ground with a thud.
The man died on the spot, while the horse broke its neck and neighed in pain and despair.
As for the cause of death, anyone who is not blind can see half of the lance stuck in the chest of the corpse.
Kill with one hit!
Everyone, including Robert, stood up in shock, with expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces.
The stands, which were originally noisy and shouting, fell into terrible silence at this moment, and you could even hear a pin drop.
You must know that this is not a poke at the unprotected parts of the helmet or neck, but the chest with the strongest protection.
And after completing such a dangerous action, Jack's wrist showed no signs of injury, and he casually threw the remaining half of the lance far away to his "squire" (played by the player) .
“Oh my God!”
After a long time, Robert finally came to his senses and asked his new Prime Minister with an excited expression on his face: "Did you see what he did just now and the amazing power he showed!"
"Ah! Of course I saw it! I'm not blind." Ned took a deep breath and responded.
As a fairly strong warrior, he simply couldn't believe that there could be a monster as powerful as the Magic Mountain in the world.
As for the unlucky guy who was killed, no one would care at all.
Because Jack's entire killing process was clean and neat, there was nothing to blame.
If he had to blame, he could only blame his opponent for being too weak and lacking self-awareness for not admitting defeat in advance.
"Who do you think would win if he and the Mountain fought?"
Robert glanced maliciously at Gregor Clegane, who also looked surprised and frightened.
Ned smiled bitterly and replied: "Do you still need to ask? This guy must be called Jack. He is too powerful, so powerful that he doesn't even look like a human being. Maybe there is a person hidden under the helmet. Maybe a monster too."
"You! Go and call the winner of the contest! Remember to call another companion next to him." Robert shouted to a squire.
The latter nodded quickly and trotted towards Jack, who had just won the game.
In about five or six minutes, the two players were taken to the VIP seats in the stands.
"Good morning, Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen, and the Prime Minister."
The thief Inez took the initiative to say hello to the dignitaries present.
Since he had been in and out of the Red Keep more than once and knew almost everyone, he was assigned to act accordingly.
"Are you a companion of this big man?" Robert asked bluntly.
Inez nodded without thinking: "Yes. We belong to the same mercenary group. I heard that you are holding a martial arts competition, so we want to try our luck."
< br>"Are you from Pentos?"
Robert instantly recalled the information he got from the intelligence chief Varys last night, and began to look at the two of them up and down.
"Yes. To be precise, we come from the distant eastern continent and were summoned to Pentos by magic."
Inez quickly told the lie she had concocted in advance.
"The far east? Is it the land of shadows?" Ned interjected curiously.
For people in Westeros, the farthest eastern city they know is Asshai, which stands across the red wasteland on the edge of the Land of Shadows.
Inez shook her head slightly: "No, it's further."
But Robert obviously didn't believe these words, and responded casually: "It sounds interesting. But I am obviously more interested in your companion than the far east. Can you let him take off his helmet?"
"Take off your helmet? Are you sure you really want to do this?" The corner of Inez's mouth twitched slightly.
"What, is there any problem?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Robert's eyes.
“Uh-how to put it. My companion’s face is really too abstract and scrawled, so that everyone can’t help but feel nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc. after seeing it. Symptoms such as fear..." Inez explained carefully.
“Is there really such an ugly person in the world?”
Queen Cersei, who had always remained silent, now became interested.
There is no way not to be interested!
She had always believed that Gregor Clegane, the vicious dog of the Lannister family, was already the strongest warrior in Westeros.
But who would have thought that a more powerful one would appear in this martial arts competition.
If you can take him under your wing, your strength will be greatly expanded, and even those families that maintain a wait-and-see attitude will seriously consider the team issue.
Seeing that none of these kingdoms, queens, and prime ministers believed in evil, the only thing Inez could do was to give these guys a small shock, and immediately gave Jack a sign to take off his helmet.
When the latter took off his fully enclosed helmet and revealed his "face like an ancient god", everyone in the VIP seat fell into a daze.
Just two or three seconds later, Sansa Stark, who had the worst psychological quality, could not help but spit out her breakfast. She did not care about maintaining the so-called "lady" image, and her eyes were full of of fear.
The second one was the Crown Prince Joffrey "The Great", who was vomiting all over and couldn't stop it no matter what.
The third one is the naughty little Arya.
Although she tried her best to endure it, the strong physical reaction was obviously not something a little girl could resist.
Queen Cersei is indeed a hero among women. She actually held on for two minutes. After the maid next to her vomited out all the contents in her stomach, she covered her mouth and ran into the passage.
In addition, some noble ladies and maids were so frightened that they fainted, and a few timid ones even became incontinent.
It can be said that the scene was very embarrassing and chaotic.
In contrast, King Robert and Prime Minister Ned, who had fought on the battlefield, only retched twice, and then hurriedly waved to Jack to put his helmet back on.
After admiring the embarrassed appearance of the princes and nobles in front of him for a while, Inez pretended to be helpless and said: "I think you should know now why he must wear a helmet."
"What a ghost! I can't believe that there are such ugly human beings in this world. I can't figure out whether he is blessed by the gods or cursed." Robert shook his big bearded head and complained.
“I think this may be a joke deliberately played by God on mortals. After all, he may have the most powerful power in the world, but he also has the ugliest appearance. To a certain extent, it is quite Fairness will not cause any feelings of envy or jealousy, right?" Ned also expressed his opinion.
You don’t need to ask to know that Jack’s face, which looked like the scene of a serial car accident, greatly shocked the two of them.
