Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Entering the banquet hall, Samwell saw Miss Margaery Tyrell at a glance.

This "Gaoting Rose" wore a pink satin dress with a halter neck tonight. The backless and waist design perfectly outlined her graceful figure, and her clear and deep brown eyes seemed to be beautiful The gemstone, the elegant and charming smile on the crystal clear red lips, the noble temperament and the stunning beauty make this daughter of the duke a well-deserved focus no matter where she goes.

Of course, Samwell would not go to her so rashly.

Here is the towering tower, he must first express his greetings and thanks to the master.

Lord Layton is also easy to find.

The gentlemen on the right half of the hall faintly surround a core, and there are four people in that core——

One was Ser Baelor Hightower who greeted Samwell into the castle in the afternoon, the other was Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers" who was dressed up beautifully, and the other was tall and handsome with a embroidered Young man of the "Crowned Stag" heraldry—

This should be the king's younger brother, Duke of Storm's End, Renly Baratheon.

And the white-haired old man who was talking cordially with Duke Renly should be the owner of the towering tower, Earl Layton.

Sir Baylor noticed Samwell's approach, and whispered something in his father's ear.

Then, Earl Layton turned his gaze.

Before Samwell could speak, the old earl said with a smile:

"Sir Caesar, I have received your gift and I like it very much!"

"It is my honor, Lord Earl." Samwell stepped forward and bowed to salute.

At this time, Duke Renly asked curiously:

"Excuse me, is Caesar a family from the Reach? How come I've never heard of it?"

Loras explained:

"Lord Renly, this is the pioneer knight of the Tyrell family, Samwell, the eldest son of Earl Randyll Tarly. He has just established a new territory in the Crimson Mountains, and Caesar is his new family name."

When Duke Renly heard the words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was very surprised why the eldest son of the Tarly family gave up Horn Hill and went to develop a barren land like the Crimson Mountains instead.

Of course, out of politeness, he would definitely not ask such a question, but smiled:

"It turned out to be a knight from the Hunter family. No wonder he was able to open up a territory in the Scarlet Mountains. What a hero!"

"Your Excellency, you are absurd. My castle has not been built yet, so I dare not say that I have opened up a territory."

"I believe you will be able to build a castle." Duke Renly encouraged, and then saw that Samwell had something to discuss with Earl Layton, so he said thoughtfully, "I'm going to get some food, you guys talk. "

"I'll go too." Loras naturally followed up.

Facing Earl Layton and his son alone, Samwell did not beat around the bush, and said directly:

"Master Earl, I came to Old Town this time, mainly because I want to ask for your help on three things."

"Say it." Earl Layton kept smiling.

"The first thing is that a silver mine has been discovered in my territory. I have sent someone to King's Landing to apply for authorization from His Majesty. However, I still need a bachelor who is proficient in mining, refining, and casting. I wonder if you can Introduce me to someone?"

"The rules of the Academy City will provide each lord with a bachelor as an advisor. However, before your castle is completed and recognized as an official lord by the Governor of the River Bend, the Academy City will probably not send you a bachelor."

"That's why I would like to ask you to do me a favor. I would like to ask if the Academy can accommodate me and send a bachelor in advance? If not, then at least give me the silver mining technology."

"The rules of the school city cannot be accommodated, and I can't interfere with this."

Hearing this, Samwell secretly rolled his eyes—the Hightower family, as the founders and patrons of the Academy City, said that they couldn't even do such trivial things, and they were lying to ghosts.

Before Samwell could speak again, Earl Layton said again: "However, I can ask Moroya to teach you the technology of mining and refining silver mines."

Moorea Hightower? The "crazy girl"?

Samwell withdrew his earlier complaints about Earl Layton, and quickly thanked her: "Thank you for your help! Who is Miss Moloya? I want to thank her personally later."

"She's not here." Baylor smiled wryly and shook his head. "My younger sister never likes to participate in social activities among nobles. I'll take you to see her tomorrow morning."

The scientific madman really lived up to his reputation.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Samwell thanked, and then continued the previous topic, "The second thing is about the supply of food and materials. You must also know that barren land like the Crimson Mountains can't grow crops at all." The crops are produced, so I need to purchase food from the outside world, as well as other living supplies. I don’t know if the Hightower family is willing to be my supplier.”

Although there is already the supplier of the Kui family, Samwell will definitely not be willing to hand over the lifeline of the territory to a family. Finding multiple suppliers and diversifying risks is the kingly way.

Moreover, the Kui family can supply a maximum of 30,000 people. Samwell certainly does not think that this is the upper limit of the population of his territory, and it will be a matter of time to find more supply channels.

"That's no problem." Earl Layton's answer should be very straightforward. The Hightower family likes to make money. "You can directly discuss the details with Baylor."

Baylor on the side bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Sir Caesar, I am now taking care of the business affairs of the family."

"Okay." Samwell nodded to Baylor, and then said, "As for the third thing, a new wine has been brewed in my territory, and I would like to talk to you about cooperation in sales."

"New wine?" Earl Layton sniffled subconsciously, "Can I have a taste?"

This is an old drunk.

Samwell looked at the other party's red wine-grooved nose and secretly smiled, took an oak jar from Todd's hand beside him, and said:

"This is a new wine I brewed from grapes in the Red Mountains. It tastes pretty good. You should try it."

As he spoke, Samwell waved for a waiter, took out a cup from the tray, filled it with brandy, and handed it to Earl Layton.

Samwell just wanted to remind the other party that the wine was very strong, but before he could speak, Earl Layton raised his head and drank it down.

"Good wine!" The old earl breathed out the smell of alcohol, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his rosaceous nose instantly became redder.

Baylor saw this, his eyes lit up, and said:

"Can I have a drink too?"

"Of course." Samwell nodded happily.

At this time, the good friends Renly and Loras just came back from the meal, and they also asked Samwell for a drink.

The nobles of Westeros can be said to be alcoholics per capita due to their health and social needs.

So Brandy's first official appearance in public was more perfect than Samwell imagined.

"The sweetness of the grapes and the aroma of the oak are perfectly combined to form such a mellow and sweet taste, Sir Caesar, you are really a wine-making genius!" Earl Layton shook his head and praised in a drunken tone, "This wine Do you have a name?"

"Brandy." Samwell laughed, and then showed a little regret, "Unfortunately, the storage time is too short, the aroma of oak has not fully penetrated into the wine, otherwise the taste will be even better. Earl, look, this sea of ​​wine Can the Tal family help with the sale?"

"sure!"
