Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 243 Champion

In addition to the mysterious knight, "Laughing" Baylor is also very popular. He was challenged by 13 people. Five of them were eliminated in the boxing game, and the remaining eight were eliminated twice. Only two powerful knights remained to fight against him.

Almost every time she challenged the "Keeper", not only the audience shouted excitedly, but the current "Queen of Love and Beauty" Lelia would also half-cover her body with her little hand when the spear shattered or the contestant fell off the horse. He closed his eyes and yelled in horror.

Obviously, for her, the game about winning or losing the "crown" is particularly exciting.

In the end, the remaining seven contestants, except for the mysterious knight whose identity has not yet been determined, the other six are all of noble origin, Baylor, the Gars brothers, a red apple (Fossoway), Sir Erlor of Hay Hall in the Stormlands, and Westland Yang Ser Crakehall of Chicken Hall, Ser Dickon Tarly of Horn Hill.

Well, the previous "uncle" knight Jon Coopers was replaced by Horn Hill Dickon.

Amidst the cheers of thousands of spectators, seven knights entered the arena one by one.

Before the official draw, Laughing Baylor also asked Dany and Dickon if they were willing to protect Lelia's crown.

Dany shook her head and refused, Baylor didn't even ask why, and ignored her, only looking forward to looking at Dickon.

The black-haired guy probably knew Lelia, first he smiled apologetically at the blushing little girl on the wooden platform, and then explained to Baylor: "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't know, I have already passed away a month ago. In Maidenpool, to marry Miss Ellanor, the eldest daughter of Earl William Mooton."

In theory, a champion can give the crown of love and beauty to anyone, even if you are a rainbow knight like Loras Tyrell, and you can give the crown to a man.

But giving the wrong crown to a woman who already has a husband or fiancé is a scandal in itself, or a champion who is married but fails to give his wife the crown - both of which Prince Rhaegar All the taboos were violated.

"What, are you married?" Baylor exclaimed in shock.

Seemingly aware that he was losing his composure, he forced a smile and asked, "We haven't received any news. Your mother and sister didn't even go to the wedding, right?"

The son-in-law he most valued was actually Dickon Tarly, or in other words, he chose his daughter Lelia as the "Queen of Love and Beauty" just because he knew that the heir of Horn Hill just came back from King's Landing.

This is not only the meaning of the Hightower family, Lady Olenna, Queen of Thorns in Highgarden, also sent a letter to remind him of this matter.

There is only one purpose: to win over the Tully family.

In the original play, Jon's good friend, Sam Tarly, seems to have no obvious family background, and there is nothing special about his origin.

In fact, it is not true, Daddy Sam Randyll Tarly Uh, Barristan thinks he is the fourth famous general in the Seven Kingdoms, but the real situation is that at this time, the stars of Westeros have fallen, and Randyll Tarly has become the only one. A general who never lost a battle.

Moreover, Hornhill has the military strength second only to the House of Highgarden Tyrell, and is the largest family in the Reach after Highgarden Tyrell and the old town of Hightower.

Why did Olenna want to win over the Tully family?Aren't they the relationship between the lord and the vassal?

During the War of the Four Kings, the Tarly family followed the steps of Highgarden from the beginning to the end, whether it was to seek refuge with Renly or to ally with Lannister.

Lord Randyll is indeed a trustworthy subject, but now

We have to start with Brightwater City, where Lando Tully's wife, Melissa Florent, is from Brightwater City.The mysterious knight who scratched Garlan Tyrell's cheek—Alekan Florent, was Dickon's own uncle.

Melissa and Aleken are biological siblings with the same father and mother.

The reason why Aleken came to the second brother-in-law's house (Old Town Hightower) for help instead of the eldest brother-in-law's house (Horn Hill Tully) was because Randall and Dickon had been leading the army to help King's Landing clean up the river and the king's land bandits in the area.

Let me explain here again that although Baylor's father is Dickon's uncle (the old man's wife and Dickon's mother are sisters), Baylor has no blood relationship with Dickon and Aleken even though they are related.

Baelor's mother was the first wife of the old man of Oldtown, and he and Garlan Tyrell's mother were only siblings.

uh, so complicated

Such complicated interpersonal relationships made the situation in the Reach extremely complicated.

If Little Rose Margaery did not marry Tommen, the solution to the conflict between Highgarden and Horn Hill is very simple, just let Dickon marry Margaery.

It's a pity that Margaery married, and Highgarden Tyrell no longer has a legitimate daughter to marry Hornhill.

But as the heir of Old Town, Baylor's eldest daughter is fully qualified to be the head mother of the Tully family.

unfortunately

Luckily for Dany, when Baylor brought out seven balls of paper for everyone to choose from, she picked a blank note.

Well, she has a bye and automatically advances to the next round.

Well, in fact, this kind of bye is not worth the big rush. If the strength is not enough, it is just a little later in the elimination. Except for the championship and runner-up, the rest of the rankings are the same, there is no cheering, and there is no bounty.

Oh, one less game, and one less chance to appear in front of others!

After another round of competition, there were only four players left, the mysterious knight, Baylor of the Hightower family, Brother Garth, and Horn Tarly.

Baylor said to Dani and Dickon: "Gals and I are the guardian knights of Lelia, and we have the right to be exempted from killing each other before the final. You two choose your opponents!"

Without hesitation, Dany pointed at Baylor first, for no other reason, laughing that Baylor was nearly forty, while Garth was less than thirty.

"Okay, let's have a try." Baylor smiled meaningfully, seeming to understand her thoughts.

As it turns out, being older has its benefits, being experienced!

Amidst the exclamation of thousands of spectators, the two played five rounds without knocking each other down.

Every attack of Dani was blocked by Baylor. In order to avoid the crisis of breaking the shield, the old-fashioned Baylor had to change a shield after each round.

But after the five rounds were over, before the noble referees on the high platform finished discussing the points of the two sides, Baylor took off his iron gloves and threw them in front of Dany's mount. Looking around, he said loudly: "I have always been on the defensive. Mystery had an impact, several times his spear slashed across my waist, and I didn't touch him once, so I lost and he won."

Seeing that Baylor took the initiative to concede defeat, those referees who were secretly thinking about whether to help the Jazz cheat also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately announced: "Mystery Knight advances to the final!"

The audience immediately gave the two knights warm applause. They not only cheered for Baylor's grandeur and frankness, but also were shocked that the mysterious knight was such a dark horse.

"My lord, you are really amazing." The white knight was also very excited. "Your talent is too good, stronger than Prince Rhaegar. Compared with when you first came to Old Town, your skills have improved by at least three times."

At this moment, they didn't leave the field, but stood on the sidelines, waiting for Gals and Dickon to finish the match, and Dany would continue to participate in the final.

Dani shook her head and said, "Like jousting movements are too monotonous. I can clearly see every subtle movement of the opponent. As long as I use my strengths proficiently, it is almost impossible to fail."

She is not bragging. Compared with the complex and changeable battlefield, the spear competition is too simple and easy, and she has enough time to observe the enemy's situation and adjust her actions.

She didn't know about others, but Dany could swear that even the Mountain and the Sword of Dawn could defeat her, but they couldn't dismount her.

"My lord, you can't be proud and underestimate the enemy. There has never been an undefeated knight in this world."

Obviously, Dany's big truth was regarded as "habitual" bragging by the old knight.

In fact, neither of them noticed one thing. Dany's dynamic perspective is gradually tending to that of the dragon, and the world in her eyes is slightly different from other people's.

"Boom!" The wooden gun shattered, and snow-white wood chips flew.

Gals and Deacon really hit the earth, the three met, and both of them broke their wooden guns. The fierce battle made the audience cheer ecstatically.

In the end, the two also judged the outcome by points in five rounds. Dickon took off his helmet, waved his arms, and happily rode around the circle to accept the cheers of the audience.

Little girl Lelia cried.

All five of her guardian knights failed, and after announcing that Dickon had advanced, Baylor took off the golden rose wreath from her daughter's head with an apologetic face.

"That time in Mormont, who was the original Queen of Love and Beauty?" Dany asked, looking at the sobbing little girl on the stage.

"Of course it's Queen Cersei. The tourney is held in Port Lannister, and Duke Tywin has only one daughter."

"With whom does Mormont fight?"

"Kingslayer, he is one of Cersei's guardian knights, and I was also the queen's guardian knight that day. A total of four white knights swore to protect the queen's crown with Tywin's brother Kevan. Unfortunately, Mormont is like With God's help, he passed all the way, and even the kingslayer lost to him in points."

After more than half an hour of "woo hoo", the horn blew again, and the master of ceremonies shouted: "The last show, mysterious knight, Batman!"

"Be careful, calm down, don't be impulsive, Dickon is stronger than you, try to win with points." Before Dany rode away, the old knight solemnly reminded.

"He's too tall, he's lost." Dany lowered her head and said, she took the bamboo basket from the old knight, and the horse ran obediently around the field, holding the basket in one hand and throwing flower petals at the audience with the other. , sitting upright, without even shaking.

"This guy is very good at riding." Baylor on the high platform touched his chin and said in thought, "I'm afraid this year's champion will be him."

"That's not necessarily the case." Gals shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Which of the contestants who can make it to the finals is worse in riding skills?

That fellow Dickon's speed and strength are both excellent, and what's more important is that he just got off the battlefield with an inexplicable murderous aura on him.

Obviously, with Earl Tarly's expedition this year, he has really matured. "

"Yes," Garlan Tyrell also nodded in agreement, "The mysterious knight's strength and speed can only be said to be not weak. He is mainly strong in small skills and clever fighting methods, but these are all important to veterans on the battlefield. A piece of cake.

If I hadn’t underestimated him in my heart and didn’t notice the scratches on the shield, I wouldn’t have failed at all—I planned to consume his physical strength in the first four rendezvous, and knocked him off the horse violently in the fifth round, who knows.”

"It's started," Dr. Perestan reminded.

At the end, he added: "The casino and the public are more optimistic about Sir Deacon, and I also bet five golden dragons on Dea—"

"boom--"

There was a loud bang from below, and the old doctor was dumbfounded.
