Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 238 The Mysterious Knight Batman

Under the rising sun, a layer of warm red light was printed on the top of the five-story wooden platform. The White Tower flag and the golden rose flag with a green background stood side by side on both sides, fluttering happily in the warm morning wind.

The handsome Sir Baelor Hightower left his seat and came to the fence of the high platform, smiling and pressing his hands down, waiting for the spectators and riders below to quiet down, he announced loudly: "In the name of my father, the old man of Old Town, Leighton Hightower In the name of Er, the 'Mead River Tournament' has officially begun."

"Wow——" The audience, whether they were standing on the edge of the arena or sitting in the auditorium on the wooden platform, gave a standing ovation and cheered.

Between the two wooden stands of "Bang Bang Bang Bang", a crowd of contestants who were crowded together also hit their shields on horseback.

Dany, who was on the edge, didn't hear anything. She only saw others howling and hitting the shield with their swords. She also took off the oaken shield hanging from the saddle, put it in front of her, and slapped it with the iron gauntlet.

"What is this for?" she asked the old knight beside her.

The White Knight didn't sign up for the competition, but as the Mystery Knight's squire, he had to be by Dany's side at all times.

If Dani is alone, it will be difficult to even get on and off the horse.After all, the shields and spears used in the long spear competition are not small, and someone has to hand them to the contestants. Moreover, if an accident occurs, the opponent knocks him off the horse, and he has to have an attendant to help him take off his armor.

"That's Ser Hightower, called Baelor the Laughing, heir of Oldtown, who presides over his father's tourney."

Undoubtedly, the eldest son of the Earl's family was named after "God-blessed" Baylor.

In the ancient times of the Celestial Dynasty, this was almost an act of courting death. Not to mention taking the same name as the emperor, even the characters in the emperor's name could not be repeated.

But in this different world, giving the child the same name as Fengjun has become a means to please the king.

Even if you don't want to flatter the king, using the name of a great monarch is a blessing to your child.

For example, the male protagonist in "Quan You", Jon Snow, his name comes from Ed Stark's adoptive father, Jon Arryn.And Jon Arryn's son, Robert Arryn, comes from Robert Baratheon.

In fact, don't mention 'Baylor', 'Old Town Man' Earl Layton also has a daughter named 'Denise'!

"Why didn't his father show up?" Dany asked again.

"In the past few years, Lord Layton and his eldest daughter, Moroya, have been studying magic at the towering tower."

"Study magic? How many years? Could it be that because of his youngest daughter Linice, he felt ashamed to face others, so he just found an excuse to hide at home and not go out?" Dany doubted.

"No, not long after Mrs. Lyness married Mormont, he began to stay behind closed doors. He has been studying the mysterious scrolls from Asshai and Valyria on the top floor of the towering tower." The old knight shook his head.

"So early? The demon tide didn't come at that time, and it was still in the Dharma-ending era!" Dani became more and more skeptical, "Father Mo Ruo, who knows his daughter, must be very clear about his little daughter's temper, and the economic situation of Xiongdao is not a secret. Eighty percent of them had already seen that the couple would not have a good result, so they hid in advance."

"Uh"

Although this made sense, the old knight still wanted to refute: "Earl Layton's eldest daughter, the 'crazy girl' Moroya, has never been married in her life, and she has been studying magic in the Tower of Babel, so what? Maybe there is research. Progress, has the earl attracted his attention?"

"You also said that Miss Hightower gave her the nickname 'Crazy Girl', crazy girl." Dany suddenly stopped, she thought of Marwyn.

In the past two days, she purposely inquired about Marwin. As a rare doctor in the Academy City, his deeds are very easy to inquire about.

Marwyn studied magical knowledge and occultism in his early years. After obtaining the Valyrian steel chain link, he went to the far east to "study abroad" for eight years, drawing maps, searching for lost books, visiting wizards and shadowbinders, and even learning To Moonsinger's Meditation.

But after returning to Old Town, all the bachelors laughed at him who had come home full of rewards, and a doctor nicknamed "Sour Vinegar" gave him a humiliating nickname, "Marwyn the Magician".

In a school city that denies magic and advocates "science", being called a magician is an insult.

Just like a master physicist who won the Nobel Prize, his colleagues call him a "metaphysician".

Maybe the crazy girl Moroya also belongs to the kind of people who have been slandered and misunderstood?

So, the magical materials she has studied for decades may be genuine?

"The towering tower seems to be a tower, and there is almost no defense on the top floor." She tentatively said to the old knight.

""

The old knight twisted his face, and struggled to choke out a sentence: "The school city that records the history of the Seven Kingdoms is right next door. If we really do it, we will definitely be left with a bad name forever."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh" just when Dani was about to say, louder and more passionate cheers than before erupted suddenly from the crowd in front of me.

"What's going on?" She stood on the saddle and tried to look forward. At some point, there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old curly-haired girl beside Baylor.

A little far away, her face could not be seen clearly. She was wearing a pure white dress embroidered with gold thread and fluffy yellow lace. Her long brown hair was naturally loose. Belle was laughing and putting a golden rose wreath on her head.

"Leilia, Leilia, Leilia!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and then others followed suit, and the scene almost boiled into a pot of hot pot soup heated by a three-kilowatt induction cooker.

The white knight gasped and exclaimed, "Seven gods, crown of love and beauty!"

"That little girl named Lelia is Baylor's daughter?"

"Well, Laughing Baelor is about the same age as Prince Rhaegar, and his daughter should be so old. She probably has menstruation and can marry. Maybe Ser Baelor wants to choose a husband for her."

After putting on the garland for her daughter, Laughing Baylor waved his arms and said something. Immediately, four knights with gorgeous armor came out and knelt down on one knee under Lelia.

Probably taking an oath to guard her crown and fight for her honor.

Baylor also knelt beside her daughter, kissed the back of her hand, and vowed to protect her daughter's crown.

Seeing this scene, the crowd below cheered louder and louder.

Although martial arts tournaments are held frequently, the "Queen of Love and Beauty" does not happen every time, and the number of times is even somewhat small.

Most matches are one-on-one rounds, the loser is eliminated, the winner advances to the next round, and the winner of the final round is declared the champion.

There is also a competition mode, where the organizer of the tournament makes his own daughter the "Queen of Love and Beauty", and five powerful guardian knights swear to fight for her honor.

After the knockout round, the other winners can challenge one of them - if the guardian knight can also advance, they can take their place after winning.

The final winner can choose the original woman as queen, or choose another one.

For example, the "Prime Minister's Martial Arts Competition" held at the beginning of the plot, there was no queen of love and beauty that time.

Well, although the Cavaliers of Flowers gave Sansa a bouquet of roses after a certain victory, Sansa was not the "Queen of Love and Beauty" of that session (that gay guy in Loras couldn't do it himself, and he sent a bouquet of roses every time he won beauty with a flower).

First of all, the organizer, King Robert, did not elect a queen of love and beauty at all.

He does have a cheap daughter, but Princess Myrcella is too young to be married, and the main purpose of holding the tournament is to welcome good friends, not to show off her daughter.

Secondly, the Knight of Flowers sent a rose instead of a crown. At that time, he only won a certain round of competitions, and the finals hadn't even started yet.

In the end, only the champion is eligible to choose the queen of love and beauty, and the champion of that session is the Hound.

Of course, it can also be said that Sansa is the Queen of Love and Beauty without a crown, because the Hound only expressed male impulses to her

"Hey, the Hightower family is really full of talents. Lelia's crown can be kept [-]% of the time. Her five guardian knights-father, two uncles, and two cousins ​​are all powerful and true knights.

Ordinary lords don't dare to engage in the "Crown Crown" competition at all. It would be too shameful if the five guardians were all picked out before reaching the final - off the horse. "The white knight said with a complicated expression.

After the five guardian knights were selected, Dany, the contestants who crowded the arena, began to dissolve.

This is the main arena. During the audition stage, only aristocratic knights with surnames are eligible to manifest themselves here.

Wild knights, hired riders, and mysterious knights like Danni have to go to the nearby "desolate" arena to compete.

With 1000 contestants, there will be more than [-] games in the first round, and each game will take at least half an hour, so a hundred arenas are divided along the banks of the Mead River.

The field number Dani got was '87', and she walked north for more than a mile before seeing a field less than 20 meters wide.

The site is paved with soft loess, sprinkled with water, and painted with lime powder to draw two [-]-meter-long boundaries.

The boundary line is ten meters apart, and a row of 1.5-meter-high wooden fences is randomly erected in the middle. The riders will charge each other through the fences.

Outside the boundary is the auditorium. The auditorium on both sides of the competition arena is [-] meters long and [-] meters wide. Not to mention the wooden seats, there is no guardrail. Isn't the organizer afraid that the horses will rush out of the arena and kill the audience?

Alas, they are not afraid, because apart from the contestants and their knights, friends, and family, there is no audience at all.

Dany and Barristan came to such a desolate yellow mud.

Looking around, you can see through the thirty or forty martial arts fields next door. The land on the riverside plain is so flat that there is not even a higher mound, and you can see to the end at a glance.

"The first match has begun!" The master of ceremonies, with a huge white tower pattern printed on his leather armor, stood in the middle of the arena and yelled loudly, "'Dung Shell' Jimmy, 'Dung Shell' Jimmy, are you here?"

"Come on, come on, I'm here!" A man with a sallow face in a gray and worn-out iron armor hurriedly pressed the rusty iron helmet on his head, and yelled "Ouch, ouch" while pressing.

Half of the head was stuffed in, and the part below the nose was stuck outside. The middle-aged rider wailed: "No way, the nose is stuck, Bruce, come help me!"

"Bleeding?" The bearded man next to him exclaimed, "The nut has rusted and fallen off, the visor is crooked, and the nose is cut by it!"

"Professor, profiteer, damn profiteer, it cost me 80 copper coins!" Jimmy the shit shell cracked a mouthful of yellow dies, and with the blood flowing from his upper lip, he cursed loudly at the blacksmith street vendor who sold him the iron helmet.

"Hey, Jimmy the shit shell, are you alright?" the master of ceremonies couldn't wait any longer, and came over and shouted.

"Bring me a pair of pliers," the bearded man Blue called.

The master of ceremonies shook his head: "We are not responsible for this, Jimmy, you can go down."

"Hey, what a bad luck. I wanted to show my skills, but I might not become a champion. I want to wear a wreath for Miss Lelia." Jimmy murmured and waved his hand, and his companion led the horse away.

The master of ceremonies looked at the list on the parchment, and continued to shout: "Mysterious knight, Batman?"
