Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 29 Martial Arts Tournament

Jorah should be ashamed indeed, Dany found that he had not spoken his wife's name.Perhaps, she has long since disappeared from his memory, after all, she never seems to have entered his heart.But she had dystocia three times for him, and finally lost her life

The knight continued: "Not long after, my father joined the Night's Watch, and I became Earl of Bear Island. Many people came to propose marriage. Before I made a final decision, the ironborn began to rebel, and Balon Greyjoy became the king of the night. king"

Dany frowned, interrupting him to ask, "When was that? Before I was born?"

"Princess, I'm not that old." Qiao La said dryly with a stiff face.

"Oh, you go on." Dany responded casually.

"That was the fourth year after the Usurper War, and you were about four years old." His voice dropped.

There seems to be no difference, they are all the same age

Dany realized that it should be the time when Theon Greyjoy was held hostage in Winterfell.

She wondered: "What did the Ironborn think? During the turbulent period of the usurper's rebellion, he didn't make trouble, but waited until the usurper had been king for 4 years, and the domestic turmoil had subsided. Where did he get the confidence? Or is it his?" The reflex arc is too long, just realized, want a hero in a troubled world?"

"I'm not sure, the ironborn have always been crazy and unpredictable." Jorah shook his head, "Maybe he thought the Usurper's foundation was unstable, and maybe someone had been suppressing him before, preventing him from rebelling

During the Usurper's Rebellion, Balon's father, the Duke of Cologne, remained neutral. After your brother, Prince Rhaegar, died in the Ruby Shore, he joined Robert the Usurper. side.

Therefore, Ke Lun led the Iron Fleet (the main fleet of Ironmen Island) to the sea, preparing to plunder High Court, but unfortunately the people of High Court had been prepared and waited for work in the Shield Islands. Not only did they defeat the invincible Iron Fleet, Killed Columbine.Then Balon succeeded his father, and the usurper had ascended the throne, and the rebellions were almost quelled everywhere. "

"It took four years for King Balon to completely control Ironborn Bay, and he raised his flag to rebel. Then, King Balon was defeated, his eldest son and second son were killed, and his ten-year-old son became the Duke of Winterfell. De Stark's adopted son and hostage to keep House Greyjoy from rebelling.

To celebrate his victory, Robert decides to hold a tourney outside Lannisport.

I met Linice there.

She was half my age at the time, and she had come all the way from Oldtown with her father to watch her brother fight.

The first time I saw her, I couldn't take my eyes off her. For the first time, I felt such a strong love for myself.Impulsively, I begged her to give me a token to fight for her.I never dreamed that she would agree, but she agreed.

Your Royal Highness, you must understand that martial arts competition is a kind of knight sport, not a pure martial arts contest.We northerners have never been good at this kind of sports from the Andals, but with Linnis's token, I seem to be possessed by a warrior of the Seven Gods.

Over the course of a few days, I was invincible and finally crowned Linice with the crown of love and beauty.

The wine and glory spurred me to do a crazy thing. I actually went to her father that night and said bluntly that I wanted to marry his daughter.

With the wealth and status of our family, Lord Leyton should have been rejected mercilessly, but he did not. "

The fief of the Leighton Hightower family has the second largest port in Westeros - Old Town, as well as the temple of bachelors - the Academy City, and the headquarters of the Church of the Seven Gods is also in Old Town.

The Hightower family is still of the blood of the Green Garth, they can be counted as dukes without the title of duke.

Duke Tywin Lannister once proposed marriage to Earl Layton on behalf of his son, the little devil, hoping that Tyrion could get a daughter of Hightower.

Earl Layton almost rejected him with an insulted gesture.

Jorah Mormont was lucky.

"Unfortunately, the honeymoon was short-lived, and Linice was disappointed with my hometown, feeling too cold, wet and remote.

Bear Island's wooden halls are far inferior to her family's gorgeous and warm tall castle.

Moreover, life on Bear Island lacks the flavor that a southern aristocratic lady needs. There are no masquerade parties, no mime performances, and no lavish dinner parties.

Even wandering singers have to wait for several years before they can come here with fur traders.Those who came were old, ugly, third-rate singers with poor skills.

The food in the northern border is far more monotonous than that in the rich Highgarden. My subjects are blessed by the gods if they can eat enough, but every meal is almost a torment for Linice.

At that time, I thought, as long as she can be happy, I am willing to do anything.

So I hired a cook from her home town, a bard, and gold and silver jewels for the ball—for Bear Island, where flowers are counted for every silver coin, I am helplessly familiar with the prices of most jewels.

So, you see how I was able to estimate the value of that opal bracelet so skillfully? "

Qiao La smiled like a husband who pays for his mother-in-law's online loan on Double Eleven.

"I will try my best to satisfy whatever she wants. As I said before, because of her, my potential explodes and I win the championship of the martial arts tournament.

The Usurper is a generous, extravagant king who is extravagant and loves to hold tournaments, and the winner of each tournament is richly rewarded.

That time, I not only got glory and beauty, but also fifty thousand golden dragons into my pocket. "

(ps: When Ed took office, the contest champion rewarded 4 golden dragons, but I think the significance of suppressing King Baron's rebellion is even more extraordinary, so I added [-] golden dragons)

"So much?" Dany couldn't help but exclaimed.

With the memory of the original owner's hard life in the major city-states, she also has a general understanding of the purchasing power of the world's three currencies of gold, silver, and copper.

I remember once, on the streets of the civilian area of ​​Mir, Viserys bought two barbecue sausages and a small bowl of goat milk from a street vendor with two copper coins.Viserys quickly ate his share, and snatched his sister's remaining half of the sausage.

In terms of purchasing power, let's say it costs five yuan a copper plate.After all, it was pure meat sausage, and the portion was quite sufficient. Under normal circumstances, that grilled sausage could be worth a breakfast, but Viserys was in the developmental stage at that time, and the nutrition was a bit behind.

And one golden dragon can be exchanged for 30 silver months, and one silver month can be exchanged for about 800 copper plates.

In other words, one golden dragon = 24000 copper plates = 120000 RMB purchasing power

Fifty thousand golden dragons, roughly equal to 60 billion

What the hell!

Dani remembers that in the original plot, Robert owed a total of 14 million Golden Dragons and 600 billion foreign debts during his 7200-year reign?

Three million of them belonged to House Lannister.

This

Hearing Dany's exclamation, Jorah also said with emotion: "Yeah, Bear Island won't be able to earn 100 golden dragons in 5000 years. In terms of spending money, the usurper is more like a 'mad king' than your father. Uh, sorry, I mean"

The knight blushed, a little at a loss.

Dany didn't say anything, but nodded calmly.

Sir Jorah breathed a sigh of relief, and continued his love story, saying: "It was also because of the fifty thousand golden dragons that I was able to meet all of Linnis's requirements in the days before.

In order for her to go around to attend festivals and banquets, I specially built a big boat for her.She has appeared in Port Lannister, Old Town, King's Landing, Lys, and Pentos.The farthest we went, we went to Braavos. "

"From Bear Island to Braavos? Are you crazy?" Dany was shocked again.

Braavos is actually very close to the northern border. If there is a plane, it is about 3000 kilometers from Bear Island to Braavos.

Uh, [-] kilometers seems a bit far.

The key is that Bear Island and Braavos are separated by a continent and a strait. If you take a boat, you must circle the continent of Westeros.

probably

It is too far away, and the sea conditions are very complicated, and detours are likely to occur.

The only thing that is certain is that the voyage 100% exceeds [-] kilometers, which is farther than from Shanghai to Los Angeles.

For his wife, Jorah really put his life on the line.

But this is not the end, Jorah continues to tell about his "burning life" journey.

"For the sake of money, and because Linnis hopes to get the crown of love and beauty again—the pair of real queens can be regarded as the highest honor, I continued to participate in the tournament, but the miracle stopped, and I never won again. And every time One defeat means the loss of a war horse and a set of armor, which must be redeemed with money or replaced with new ones."

Dani asked curiously, "How much is a set of armor and a horse?"

The original Daenerys wandered around the market, knowing the prices of ordinary food and drinks, but she was too far away from noble weapons and pack horses.

"A good tame horse should have at least one golden dragon. My warhorse used to be better, with an average of about three golden dragons. And a better full body armor is about 4 or 5 golden dragons. I must buy good armor." He solemnly told Dany, "For those of us knights who have a long history of family education, we are as familiar with armor as we are with our own palm prints. Normally, I can see the flaws in the opponent's armor with just one glance—if there is Flawless words.

Likewise, my opponents can see flaws in me.Therefore, I can't have too obvious flaws, and I can't use inferior armor, otherwise my life will be in danger during the competition.

I'm not afraid of death, but dying in an aristocratic game because of an armor problem, that's really useless. "

After a pause, Knight Jorah said in a complicated tone: "I have participated in many tournaments, and every time there are knights who die, most of them are free riders seeking property and fame.

Almost none of the children of the great nobles died, because no one could break through their defenses under the rules of jousting. "

If Dany had watched the 'Tournament of the Hand' held in King's Landing more than a year ago, she would have understood Jorah's words better.

One of them, Renly vs The Hound.During the high-speed hedging process, the Hound stabbed Renly in the chest, causing him to fly upside down from the saddle, flying more than ten meters away in the opposite direction from when he was on the saddle.The golden antlers on the helmet with thick wrists were all broken by him, what happened?

There is nothing wrong with him, he patted his butt and stood up, waved his hands coquettishly, and responded to the cheers of the surrounding audience with a decent smile.

If it was a different person, the plate armor on the chest was thinner, or the inner lining behind the plate armor was not elastic enough to cushion the fierce impact, then his internal organs would be damaged even if he did not die.

In this world, if the internal organs are injured, people are basically useless.

"What's the difference between a freerider and a knight?" she asked curiously.
