Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Chapter 59 Starfall City

On the wharf outside Yangwu City, there are several merchant ships docked for loading and unloading goods.

On the mast of one of them hung a lavender banner with crossed swords and a shooting star—

This is the coat of arms of the Dane family, the lords of Starfall City.

"Boss, there is a master looking for you below!"

Captain Gilmore walked out of the cabin reeking of alcohol, and shouted impatiently:

"Which master?"

"I don't know. He didn't say."

"He didn't say you couldn't see for yourself! Damn fool!"

"But he doesn't have any family crest on him, what do I think?"

Gilmore frowned, cursed a few words in a low voice, but still staggered off the boat.

Then, he saw the "Master" in the crew's mouth - a thin middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, with a small beard on his chin.

Although this person does not have any family coat of arms, Gilmore, who has a vicious vision, dares to bet all his wealth that he must be a nobleman.

Gilmore stepped forward with a smile on his face: "My lord, what are your orders?"

Petyr Baelish threw out a silver stag without waiting for Gilmour to thank him, and asked:

"Your ship is bound for Starfall City?"

"Yes, master, are you going to Starfall City too?"

"No, I'm going to Yingzui Island."

"Yingzui Island?" Gilmore touched his bald head suspiciously, "Sorry, sir, I don't seem to have heard of this place."

"It's just south of the estuary of the Turbulent River, across a bay from Starfall City. You will pass by on the way to Starfall City from here, but it will be a little bit off course. If possible, I would like to take your boat to , cost is not an issue.”

"It seems to be a bit of an impression..." Gilmore seemed to think of something, "But, master, I remember that there is a barren mountainous area, there is nothing, are you sure you want to go there?"

"Your information is out of date." Petyr showed a characteristic smile, "There is now a territory there."

"territory?"

"That's right, the Duke of Metz canonized the pioneer knight, and Sir Samwell Caesar has already established a territory there."

Hearing that the territory was established by the people of Hewan, Gilmore's face changed slightly.

Dorne and the Riverbend had a thousand-year feud. Although Gilmore often stopped at the port of the people of the Riverbend because of his business, as a Dornish man, his hostility towards the people of the Riverbend could never be erased.

"There is nothing but rocks in that place. The people in Hewan are crazy, are they going to develop there?"

"No one said anything, but there is a silver mine there."

"Silver mine?" Gilmore's eyes could not restrain the golden light.

"Yes. I heard that the territory has already begun to take shape, with tens of thousands of people."

"Tens of thousands of people..." Gilmore's expression gradually became serious, "That's really not small... When did this start, why didn't I hear anything about it?"

"It seems to be more than four months ago."

"There are tens of thousands of people in just four months?" Although Gilmore doesn't know how to develop, he also knows how amazing this speed is.

"Yes. That is a young and promising pioneer knight, and I am going to visit him. Can you take your ship?"

Gilmore restrained his mind, nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, sir. I happen to want to go and see there, too."

"Well, when is your ship leaving?"

"Leave on time at noon, sir."

"Okay, then I'll go to the city first and come back later."

"Yes, sir."

Gilmore looked at Petyr's figure in the distance, suddenly slapped his head, and said to himself:

"I forgot to ask that master's name! Forget it, I'll ask him when he comes back, I don't know which family's master it is..."

After speaking, Gilmore wobbled back to the boat.

...

The time came to noon.

Gilmore was lying on the side of the boat, looking towards the direction of Yangwu City, but he never saw the nobleman in the morning appearing again.

He thought that the other party was just delayed, so he decided to wait a little longer.

However, Gilmour didn't know that the noble lord he was waiting for had already boarded a merchant ship bound for Braavos and had already set sail.

As the sun went down, Gilmour's patience finally ran out.

He slammed the wine bottle in his hand onto the deck and shouted loudly:

"No more! Let's go!"

After setting sail, Gilmour couldn't help thinking while steering the rudder——

Why don't you drop by that Yingzui Island?

...

Among the crimson mountains stands a tall and majestic castle abruptly.

On the head of the city where the lavender flag fluttered, a crossed sword and a shooting star were printed on it.

If we want to talk about the oldest family in Westeros, there may be some disputes, but if we want to talk about the oldest family in Dorne, it must be the Dane family in Starfall City.

Legend has it that in the Dawn Era 10,000 years ago, the first Dane followed the fallen stars, came here, and built his own castle at the mouth of the Turbulent River.

His descendants ruled the mountains west of Dorne in the name of "Kings of the Rapids" until House Martell, united with the Rhoynar, conquered all of Dorne.

"Samwell Caesar?" Ser Uric Sand, acting lord of Starfall City, frowned tightly. "Which territory of the River Bend is Caesar from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Gilmore stood cautiously in the hall and replied:

"My lord, I have inquired. This Sir Caesar is actually the eldest son of the Horn Hill Tully family. He was later conferred the title of pioneer knight by the Duke of Metz, and he went to Yingzui Island to develop."

"Horn Hill, the Tully family..." Urik frowned even tighter, "Since he is the eldest son of the Tully family, why did he give up his inheritance rights and come out to develop?"

"This... this..."

Seeing Gilmore hesitating, Urik knew that the other party was also unclear: "Okay, you go down."

"Yes, sir."

After Gilmore left, Urik leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Although the territory of the Dane family includes the mountainous areas along the Turbulent River, to be more precise, they only have enough influence on the east side of the river. The people live on their own.

Not to mention that it is not along the Turbulent River at all, but is already in Yingzui Island, which is further south of the river's estuary.

But the Riverbend people actually built a city in the crimson mountain range, and it was still near the mouth of the Turbulent River, which made Urik nervous.

After all, it is not too far from Starfall City.

Samwell was also the name of a great King of the Turbulent River in the history of the Dane family. This king nicknamed "Spark" once conquered a large territory in the south of the river bend, even including Old Town.

Now, a Samwell appeared in the river bend, what would he do?

Urik pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand to summon the attendant, and ordered:

"Send a few trustworthy merchant ship owners and let them also go to Yingzui Island, inquire about the situation there, and report back to me."

"Yes, my lord."
