Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

The poisoning thing was shocking.

Before the investigation, Clay had a hunch that nothing would be gained this time.

The merchants left Twin River City immediately after delivering the goods.

By the time the furious leader of White Blade River, the guardian of White Harbor and Twin River City, and the owner of Biting Bay sent out his most elite soldiers to pursue them, these guys had long since disappeared.

Looking forward to any effective tracking methods in this era, Clay felt that maybe his demon hunter senses were more reliable.

The problem is not actually the bottle of wine, but the technique.

He carefully analyzed the poison in the wine bottle and found that it was actually not complicated. It was the most common poison in the Seven Kingdoms, gray mushroom.

However, ordinary gray mushrooms will not be able to put a sheep and a dog in half an hour.

Normally, the onset should take about six hours.

The poison that Clay encountered was almost ten times that of ordinary gray mushrooms.

This is definitely not something ordinary people can create.

Is it from across the Narrow Sea?

Clay doesn't think so.

First of all, except for a lot of slave traders in that place who hated themselves, the rest probably didn’t know who they were, let alone attack the old man.

Moreover, gray mushrooms are a specialty of Westeros, and they don’t even exist in Essos.

Therefore, Clay believes that this must be something done by someone in Westeros.

In this case, if you can't find out who poisoned you, then just find out where the poison came from.

The value of such a high concentration of Ash Fungus may be higher than that of Tears of Lys, because it is the crystallization of technology.

Don't underestimate purification, it's not just a matter of setting up a big pot and cooking it.

Anyway, without the help of the system, it would be impossible for Clay to brew any of the witcher's potions.

Following this line of thinking, there are two things that are questionable, but in fact there is only one.

One is King's Landing, to be precise, Grand Maester Pycelle, who is not known to be alive yet.

The other one is a school city far away by the Mead River, which seems to be uncontested and harmless to humans and animals.

Pycelle was also born in the school city, so it can be regarded as the same place.

After thinking about this, Clay directly issued an order to Riverrun City.

Edmure Tully, I don't care what you are doing. Send me your Tully maesters quickly.

Clay felt that a breakthrough should be opened from this kind of semi-insider.

Now he couldn't just ride Galesos to the academy and catch the doctors from the academy one by one to ask questions.

For this kind of place that is both established and influential, from a long-term perspective, we must find a very reasonable explanation and then win it over in one go.

Otherwise, there will be endless trouble in the future.

Clay believed that Edmure Tully, as cowardly as he was, would never dare to disobey his own wishes.

Even if he were the Dragon King, it would be easy to kill him.

…

After Clay returned to the Twins, the situation in Westeros fell into a strange period of silence.

Tywin in the west, the two deer in the south, Dorne further south, and the trembling valley people all seemed to be frozen and did not make any movement.

They were all digesting the shocking fact that there were two dragon kings in this world.

Everyone's eyes stayed on the Riverlands, Riverrun City, and Twin River City.

These noble gentlemen want to take a look at what kind of attitude this male dragon king, Clay Manderly, has towards the previous nobles.

In other words, does he identify more with his identity as Clay Manderly, or does he feel more like a dragon king who wants to bring the same blood and fire as Aegon I Targaryen to all those who resist.

Countless spies were dispersed and tried their best to get close to the Twins and Riverrun.

There were indeed spies who saw the giant dragon Galesos building a nest in the forest near Twin River City.

Now, Clay Mandler's identity as the Dragon King is unmistakable.

But countless nobles couldn't figure it out why a family that had never married a Targaryen could suddenly control dragons?

Many people began to work hard to investigate the miraculous rise of Clay Mandler.

But they soon became disappointed.

What Clay Mandler allowed them to investigate was too clean.

Due to the limitations of this era, it is impossible for them to know about things that are older and more detailed.

Therefore, Clay Mandler is still a mystery to them.

But one thing is certain, this guy could ride a giant dragon onto their heads at any time and shoot down dragon flames to teach them how to behave.

Therefore, in the current situation of the entire Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys, the real Targaryen, is ranked lower in importance. Sitting in the Twins City, Clay Mandler's every move affects the entire Seven Kingdoms. country's nerves.

What he will do next, the adults of the Seven Kingdoms can decide what they should do next.

…

The maester from Twins City was called over with an order from Clay Manderly, and he was trembling when he came.

Of course, he received the raven letter from the Cardinal of the Citadel, asking all maesters to openly boycott Lord Wyman Manderly.

However, his lord, Edmure Tully, rarely had a clear mind. After learning about this, he threw the letter into the fire in front of him.

And, he was warned sternly not to pay attention to a group of mentally disturbed guys in the school.

If others don't know, how can he know what kind of temper Clay Mandler is?

If Edmure Tully, his maester, openly stood against the Twins, what would Clay Manderly, who already had control of the army, think?

Who is dissatisfied with whose life?

But this time, Clay Manderly, who had become the Dragon King and theoretically became the master of the entire North and the Riverlands after Robb Stark returned to the embrace of the gods, came to Riverrun with an order .

No matter how unwilling Edmure Tully was, he could not disobey Clay's wishes.

Ser Brynden Tully repeatedly told him that if the Tully family wanted to survive, they must curry favor with His Majesty Clay Manderly, who had no historical grudge against the Tully family.

Otherwise, if you piss him off and clean up the Tully family, you only need to borrow the name of Daenerys Targaryen, which is enough.

After the bachelor came to Twins City, Clay didn't make things difficult for him.

He doesn't have the time.

He placed the poisoned wine directly in front of this man's eyes.

However, the final result was the same as what he analyzed, which was a high concentration of gray mushrooms.

But how to create it? This guy looked confused. Clay used the Yaksi Seal with the same result.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Therefore, he could only press the matter temporarily.

The White Sea Guards, who had experienced wars and fought several rounds of battles with several forces and suffered heavy losses, could not be of much help in this matter.

Because if it was really a school city, it would be too far away and would be too difficult to infiltrate.

It's better for Clay to go alone.

…

"Grandpa, I can only suffer the loss of being dumb first. If I want to get the answer, I have to go to the school city."

The matter of being poisoned is a top secret among the upper echelons of the Mandalay family.

Wilfield, Vera, and Uncle Willis were all given the strictest silence order by the old man.

Letting outsiders know about this situation is not a good thing for the Mandalay family's rule.

Determined to find out the reason at present, Clay simply put this matter aside for now.

Since the other party can send people to poison you, it means that the other party is no longer able to play with you at the card table and has begun to play dirty tricks.

Then I can't let my opponent lead me by the nose.

You hit yours, I'll hit mine.

It's just that during this period, people in the family who have to suffer a lot have to pay special attention to their daily lives.

The old man may have to give up drinking for a while.

"Okay, let's do this first."

The old man knew that what Clay said was right. Instead of spending manpower and material resources to track down, it was better to hold the power together and prepare for the next war.

Only when you have truly conquered the Seven Kingdoms and sat on that chair can you be considered temporarily victorious.

In the three hundred years of the Targaryen dynasty, no king has ever been heard of being poisoned on the throne.

"Clay, we will pay attention here, you don't have to worry."

"Now, you are no longer an ordinary person. Although you are not wearing anything on your head, no one who sees you can ignore the inevitable presence of the crown."

"What are your plans? Proclaiming yourself king? Our Mandalay family has never known what a coronation ceremony is."

The old man said with a smile, his tone was quite emotional.

I have always watched kings being crowned, but now that my own family is about to be crowned, I am really not used to it.

"Forget it, what do I, the king, claim?"

"The titles you give me are just for the large area we have right now. At most, we can add the land captured by our ancestors by the Peake family, but that is far away in the Reach. You can add it, but it will have no effect. .”

The old man nodded. He admitted that his grandson was right. The Mandalay family did not have any strong claims. This was a troublesome matter.

These are not the days of Aegon's conquests.

Aegon never belonged to the old aristocratic system of Westeros before, so he just messed it up and manually created the entire claim to Westeros.

Clay is a Mandalay, so he must abide by the rules of the nobility. The current power is also established based on this set of rules.

If you start wars everywhere without reason, you are making an enemy of the entire aristocratic system.

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that it's too troublesome.

Suddenly remembering, the old man asked Clay:

"The Mad King... um... King Aerys's daughter, Daenerys Targaryen, is your relationship okay?"

Clay knew that the old man was not caring about his feelings, but was asking Daenerys if she would ask the Manderly family to surrender.

With a slight snort, Clay uttered a sentence:

"Every time I put her down, she has to be down, and every time I put her up, she has to be up top."

Sure enough, they were all experienced people and responded very quickly.

The old man was very satisfied with this answer.

"I have told her a long time ago that I will not snatch her throne and help her revenge and rebuild the kingdom, but in exchange, I will be in the center of the throne, and the surname of the new royal family will be Mandalay Targaryen."

This has been agreed upon a long time ago. Without this major premise, everything happening now would be nonsense.

In Clay's memory, there were not so many troubles in the history of his previous life.

Every time a dynasty changes, everyone is Aegon Targaryen. From the very beginning, he makes a claim to the entire country. Is there such a thing as the so-called princes and generals being in love with each other? It's enough to create a grass-headed king and everyone will recognize it.

But here, this logic does not work.

"Okay, just know it yourself."

The old man believed that since Clay could say this, he was obviously confident.

"Then tell me, what are your plans for the next step?"

Although the entire family has now been handed over to Clay, after all, he has lived longer than Clay and knows the virtues of this group of nobles better. The old man thinks that he can still give Clay some advice later.

"The North, the Riverlands, the Westlands, the Vale, the Stormlands, the Reach, the Iron Islands..."

Except for Dorn, Clay read them one by one.

These places all need to be dealt with more or less by Clay.

"Northern Territory... I can't come forward, you know..."

Clay nodded. The old man really couldn't help with this matter. As a younger generation, he could turn his back on others unscrupulously. Everyone knew what he was capable of.

But the old man is very inappropriate and may be counterproductive.

"I'll deal with them myself. Together with the Riverlands, they don't have much of a problem. The fact that they're still huddled in Riverrun and not taking any action shows that even if they have some ideas, they don't have the courage and courage to act."

"As for the Stark family..."

Well, Xiaoshota's version of the Three-Eyed Crow shouldn't have the guts to argue with him, right?

Neither of them drank. Although the poison in Clay's body as a demon hunter was useless to him like last time, in front of the old man, this kind of thing was still forgotten.

Two glasses of water were poured, but no one touched them. For a while, they would not be interested in such things.

"The remaining few are not easy to handle."

Clay said.

"The Lannister will definitely have to pay a price. How many will survive, or will they all be exterminated? I will discuss this matter later with Daenerys."

Clay rubbed his chin.

"The little queen doesn't dislike Baratheon as much as she does Lannister."

"In her opinion, her father was at fault first, so Stark and Baratheon rebelled."

"Although this is still a capital crime for usurping the throne, it makes sense."

"But Tywin Lannister's approach... Daenerys does not accept it and does not intend to accept it."

Clay pointed to the western sky and smiled:

"When I was with her in Astapor, she kept asking me why I didn't just control the dragon, fly to the sky above Casterly Rock City, and use the dragon flame to solve everything."

"She just wants to bring her own blood and fire, revenge first, and then consider the issue of rule."

After listening to this, the old man commented:

"Hmm... She is such an impatient girl. In this aspect, she is really similar to her father."

He looked at his grandson and said in a very sincere tone:

"Thankfully I have you, Clay. If you can't control the dragon, the Seven Kingdoms will welcome back a crazy queen. What's terrible is that she can control the dragon, then the entire Seven Kingdoms will be in big trouble."

What he said was as if Clay had dedicated himself to feeding tigers, no, feeding dragons, and made outstanding contributions to the prosperity and stability of the entire Seven Kingdoms.

Clay could only smile bitterly in response to this.
