A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones

This old man named Coburn didn't know much about arms manufacturing and research and development, and he didn't even know much about military knowledge that many bachelors studied.

Renly was disappointed to find that this man was ordinary except for his medical skills and some knowledge about dead bodies derived from it.

Obviously, this is a "low-end version" of Coburn, not omniscient and omnipotent.

However, even if it is a low-end version, Renly believes that he is not comparable to ordinary bachelors, so even though the other party has a "criminal record", he did not choose to expel or hang him. Instead, after a long secret conversation, he let this person The old maester continued to serve on Dragonstone.

Referring to the unreliable memories of his previous life, this character can be described as loyal. However, many facts prove that this is not exactly the world of that show, so this cannot be guaranteed, but Renly is not afraid of him causing any trouble.

Without him, with the characteristic of psychic moment, he doesn't have to worry about the loyalty of his subordinates at all.

…

The purpose of Renly's return to Dragonstone was to stop here before heading to King's Landing, and he didn't have many plans for his own territory - understanding what the lord needed to do and arranging things in the territory properly were all he had. of two goals.

So after solving the little incident of Bachelor Coben, he started to get down to business.

…

"Sir, this is my ship! Sam and Rad can testify for me, but you must not believe his false accusations!"

The aggrieved voice of a fat old man sounded in the grand hall, and after he finished speaking, another gray-haired old man with a hunchback beside him couldn't help but become angry.

"There's a big scratch on the bottom of your boat, but mine doesn't! Kelso, don't think I don't understand this. You secretly changed my boat into yours. Do you think I can't tell it!?"

“What sane person would look under the bottom of someone else’s boat?”

The person who spoke first yelled: "Your own boat is just as good as scratched, so you came to my lord to falsely accuse me of replacing your boat, just because you want my good boat!"

"You - Kelso, you are a shameless old man!"

"You still say I'm shameless? It's obviously you..."

…

Then Renly, who was sitting upright on the lord's chair, watched with interest. The two old men got into each other's throats and began to fight.

There were soldiers watching closely on both sides of the hall to prevent accidents from happening, but they did not move rashly without seeing the Duke speak. After watching for a while, Andrew next to Renly saw that Renly had no intention of stopping him, so he couldn't help but whisper a reminder. Said: "Sir, you should stop them."

Renly coughed dryly after hearing this, and then waved his hand to signal the soldiers to come forward to separate them. At the same time, he said: "You two have not provided any evidence except verbal accusations. It is difficult for me to judge this matter, so you can either do it privately." Either you come up with other evidence."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for the two embarrassed old men to reply, he motioned to the soldiers to take them away.

Renly could tell who was lying, but he didn't feel that anyone was lying at this time. Both men seemed to think that they were the victims and that their words were true.

However, this kind of thing can't be all right, so the truth of the matter is very simple - one of the two people is old and confused, mistaking someone else's boat for his own boat.

Renly could guess which old fool it was, but he didn't want to waste time arguing with the old fool, so he just sent them away and received the next group.

"Lord, my son Carla and Boss's daughter Giselle are planning to get married, and I'm here to ask for your opinion."

A hunched old fisherman nodded in the hall and said: "We also brought the taxes we need to pay. Look, this -"

As he spoke, he held the two chickens and a few skewers of dried pickled fish in his hands and handed them to a soldier. He seemed to have done this kind of thing in a familiar manner.

Taxes in this era are not limited to monetary taxes, but also taxes in kind. In other words, in kind is the normal way for most farmers to pay taxes, so chickens and fish are normal.

Seeing this, Renly claimed that he had no objection and even said a blessing. The old fisherman, who was secretly worried about the character of the new lord, was completely relieved and then looked happy.

"If you are free, Lord Renly, we invite you to attend the wedding, just four days later, over in the small square."

"If you have time."

Renly nodded to him, then glanced lightly. The young man behind him lowered his head timidly and did not dare to look at him, but the girl beside him raised her head and gave Renly a wink with a slight blush. , seems particularly courageous.

The medieval version of Candide. Renly looked back at the young man and sighed secretly.

Then he received a fisherman who came to pay taxes after the death of an elder in his family, a drunkard who complained about the smelly food served to guests at a tavern on the dock, and a farmer who wanted to open up new land in Longshan, a place behind the volcano. .

Dragonstone is a small place, and the things that need to be done are not big, but it is very complicated, which makes Renly feel like he has transformed into a neighborhood committee aunt.

But he had expected this. In fact, when he was in Highgarden, Renly often saw Lord Tyrell dealing with such trivial matters——

This is the norm in this feudal world.

However, the time of the lords is not completely wasted on these boring things, or in other words, their focus is actually on dealing with matters between their vassals - family feuds, conflicts, interest entanglements, family marriages, approval or disapproval Some requests from vassals, etc.

There are only four vassals directly under Renly, and he has not been back for a long time, so there is nothing that needs him, the Duke, to solve at the moment. However, in the next two days, the vassals of these four families are still coming one after another. Come visit Dragonstone.

These four are Count Baraimon of Sharp Point, Count Sandras of Wonderful Harbor, Count Velaryon of Tidal Head Island, and Count Celtigar of Crab Island.

Dragonstone Island and the Red Keep of King's Landing are separated by a bay called Blackwater Bay, and the area where Dragonstone Island is located is the exit of Blackwater Bay. The territories of his lords also exist around this exit, and the distance between them is not the same. Not far.

So when Renly, the Duke of Dragonstone, returned, it was naturally impossible for them not to come and pay their respects.

The sharp-horned Earl of Bar-Almon is a frail, fat, middle-aged man who speaks with a weak voice, while the Earl of Wonderport, Sandras, is a devout good old man who can't do without the gods in the sky. Count Velaryon of Tidal Head Island is a handsome middle-aged man with a reserved and proud personality. The most interesting thing is Count Celtigar of Crab Island. The old guy limped over to visit, holding his buttocks and posing. He looked pitiful, but never mentioned the incident before.

A dinner held in the castle gave Renly a basic understanding of the personalities and conditions of the vassals under his command. Generally speaking, they all had their own thoughts, but there were no major problems.

And they did not stay long. After living in Dragonstone for one night, they all said goodbye and left. Renly was busy with the tedious lord affairs again.

In his opinion, this job was relatively boring and had no twists and turns. However, seven days after he arrived at Dragonstone Island, he suddenly received a special visitor——

The visitor was Maegor Targaryen, whom he had casually sent to the Crab Claw Peninsula before, and she claimed to have brought back a very important investigation result.
