Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 81 Mauroa Hightower

The Blackstone Fortress was originally built as a military fortress, and the facilities inside are naturally military facilities. The small garden was built later, and the garden is also very small. After looking at the garden in the High Garden, and then looking at the garden in the Towering Tower, it is simply It can no longer be described as simple.

However, for some young men and women, such a secret little garden is also a rare place of happiness.

It was just their bad luck. When Linde led Glory into the garden, they were all frightened and got out of the flowers. They picked up the clothes they had not had time to put on and ran out in a hurry. Soon the garden Only Linde and Glory were left.

Although Glory was calmed down by Lind just now, its anxiety caused by the towering tower has not weakened, and it is still affecting its mood, causing it to keep walking back and forth in the garden open space, and looking up from time to time. The dragon soul bound by the towering tower opened its mouth and let out a low roar full of unwillingness.

Linde did not impose too many restrictions on Glory. He also stood in the garden, raising his head and looking at the Towering Tower. However, he was not looking at the resentful soul energy and dragon souls, but was looking at the hidden energy on the Towering Tower. The patterns of mysterious power, this was the first time that Lind saw a magical creation with a complete system. Although he could not understand the meaning of the patterns on it at all, he still felt that most of these contents might be good for him.

"You saw it too, right?" Just when Linde was trying to memorize the patterns on the towering tower, a sound of footsteps came from not far away. Linde turned his head and looked over, only to see a man wearing black jewels. A woman wearing gauze clothes and dressing more like a Dornish person walked up to Linde and asked Linde very directly.

Linde did not answer her, but saluted with an indifferent expression: "Mrs. Moroya."

The woman frowned and corrected: "Wrong, I am Miss Moroya, I don't have a husband yet."

The woman in front of her was Mauroa Hightower, the eldest daughter of Earl Leyton and sister of Duchess Ellery, a member of Hightower known as the mad woman.

On the way to Old Town, Vilas had chatted with Lind about some of the noble families in Old Town, and the Hightower family was naturally the most important one.

It's just that when Willas talked about other members of the Hightower family, he only mentioned them in one or two sentences, but when he mentioned his aunt, Mauroa Hightower, it seemed that he had endless things to talk about. .

Although outsiders say that Moroya is a crazy woman, Vilas admires his aunt very much because when he was a teenager, he disguised himself as a man and sneaked into the city. In just a few years, seven links were forged and he was qualified to study the occult.

However, her identity was discovered later, and she had unauthorized access to some sealed taboo knowledge, so the academy deprived her of all her links and drove her out of the academy. According to outside rumors, this incident was a huge blow to her. It caused her to become crazy later.

However, some people say that the reason why she went crazy was because she accidentally came into contact with forbidden knowledge while studying the mystical sciences in the school city. The mysterious power contained in the forbidden knowledge eventually led to her insanity and madness.

Vilas mentioned that Earl Leighton had investigated the origin of the rumors about Moroya's madness and found that most of these rumors were made by some enemies of the Hightower family.

There are only two things that are really related to madness. One is that Moroya often does some weird experiments in her exclusive alchemy room. Many servants and soldiers of the Towering Tower have seen some of them. The mutilated carcass of an unknown animal was carried out of her alchemy room and burned on the rocks outside the Blackstone Fortress.

Another thing is that Moroya would often stare at the wall of the towering tower in a daze late at night, and then say some incomprehensible words.

Although Earl Leyton tried to prevent these bad reputations from spreading in Old Town, the effect was very small in the end. In addition, Moroya didn't care, so Earl Leyton gave up.

Although the bad reputation of the mad woman has been spreading in Old Town, Moroya doesn't care at all, because since she was expelled from the school city, she has been staying in her room and the alchemy room in the towering tower, rarely having contact with the outside world. Reputation is meaningless to her, not even as important as a measuring cup in her alchemy stone room. Over time, this reputation gradually spread to the Seven Kingdoms.

For a banquet like today to entertain the heir of High Court and his own grandson, Earl Leighton naturally wanted all his family members to be present, so Moroya also appeared at the banquet.

However, when she appeared, the entire banquet hall became quiet. The reason for the silence was not only because of Mo Luoya's previous bad reputation, but also because Mo Luoya, who had not appeared in front of outsiders for many years, was still so young and beautiful. .

You must know that Moloa is only one year younger than Baelor Hightower, the eldest son of Earl Leyton, but she and Baelor Hightower look like a father and daughter when they stand together, and they look like a father and daughter when they stand together with Earl Leyton. She was like a grandchild, and even when she stood next to Lynyce Hightower, the youngest of their sisters, she looked younger than Lynyce.

In addition to age, Moloa also has the beauty that every Hightower woman has. Even in the eyes of everyone, Moloa's beauty far exceeds that of other Hightower women, even the one known as the Towering Tower. Star's Lynyce Hightower is also much inferior to her.

All in all, Moroya's age is like that of a young girl who has just grown up, but her beauty looks so mature and elegant. Two contrasting temperaments appear on her body at the same time, giving her an extra Alluring charm.

At that moment, many people completely forgot about Moroya's bad reputation that had been circulating for many years, and felt that they should marry her home. Some people even remembered Moroya's bad reputation and thought it didn't matter. This beauty is enough to heal all the bad reputation.

However, compared to others, Linde saw a different scene in Moroya.

I saw some special energy entangled in Moroya's body. Some of this energy emanated from her body, and some came from the surrounding walls, but most of it came from the black gem necklace around her neck.

Obviously, it is not just a rumor that the Hightowers are extremely proficient in various mysteries. From the special energy of Moroya, it can be determined that the Hightowers should have mastered very ancient and profound magic knowledge and can cultivate real magic on their own. Magicians, not jugglers who claim to be magicians.

Moreover, the woman in front of her with a gemstone veil covering her head and a black gemstone necklace around her neck reminded Lind of another woman who also possessed powerful witchcraft, the red-robed Melisandre.

Linde stayed away from such a nagging person, even if he really possessed some powerful supernormal power, so after the banquet started, he kept a low profile as much as possible, and then left the banquet hall quietly. .

However, what he didn't expect was that Moloa Hightower would come to the small garden and take the initiative to talk to him, and she seemed to know that she could see the patterns on the towering tower.

"You can see things on the towering tower, right?" Seeing Linde not answering immediately, Moroya asked again.

However, Linde had no intention of admitting it, and asked pretending to be confused: "Is there something on the towering tower? I don't quite understand what you said, Miss Moroya."

Moroya looked at Linde expressionlessly. His eyes seemed to penetrate Linde's helmet, and he saw the face behind the helmet and the expression on his face.

Suddenly, Moroya reached out to grab Linde's helmet, trying to take it off, but Linde grabbed his arm and pushed it away gently.

"Miss Moroya, please don't do anything rude." Linde's calm voice came from the helmet.

"Do you know what they call me?" Moroya rubbed his arms, without any look of annoyance, but came closer again and said.

Linde asked, "Do you know what they call me?"

Mo Luoya was stunned and didn't understand why Linde would suddenly ask such a question. But when she was about to continue asking Linde, she suddenly felt a heat coming from behind her, and along with this heat there was a wave of heat. An extremely strong sense of danger.

Moroya couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her, and then at this moment Glory stretched his head over her shoulder. Her eyes met Glory's vertical pupils, and she was immediately stunned.

When Moroya entered the small garden just now, Glory's body was completely in the shadows, passively triggering its hiding ability, and was not seen by Moroya.

So much so that she now has no idea where this huge monster that suddenly appeared came from. The only thing she knows clearly is that she can see hunger in the eyes of this monster. This monster seems to be very hungry and is planning to kill the monster. She used it as food to satisfy her hunger.

Just when Moroya was panicking to the extreme and wanted to shout loudly, he saw an armored hand pressing on the head of the terrifying monster behind him, and then pushing it aside.

Moroya saw the hunger in the monster's eyes disappear in an instant, and he moved his head away obediently. When his hand left his head, he leaned over and licked Lind's palm, and then walked away.

Only then did Moroya see the full picture of the monster clearly, and realized that the monster was an unusually huge shadow lynx. Only then did she remember what she had heard the old town nobles and their servants discussing on the way to the small garden. .

"Who are you?" Moroya couldn't help the horror and curiosity in his heart, and asked towards the full-armored knight in front of him who was obviously the master of the monster.

Moroya has not been in contact with the outside world for a long time. She has always stayed in the towering tower, indifferent to the outside world, and specialized in studying the mysterious knowledge in the family collection.

So in her current understanding, the Targaryen dynasty is still outside, and she doesn't know that the dynasty has changed for more than a year. Naturally, she doesn't know about Linde, a new legend whose reputation has spread throughout Westeros in the past six months. .

She originally planned to attend the banquet this time as usual, and then go back to her room to continue reading the book she had not finished before.

It was just that she found that in the banquet hall, among a group of nobles in gorgeous costumes, there was a knight wearing full armor and even a helmet on his head who stood out, even though this person was standing in a corner after arriving at the banquet hall. , without talking to anyone, still attracts the attention of many people.

Most of the people who paid attention to this knight focused on the knight's gorgeous armor, but she was different. She could tell at a glance that the hilts of the pair of big swords on the knight's waist were made of dragon bones. It was made, and she could also feel some magic power faintly emanating from the pair of knight's swords.

This is the second time she has seen something related to magic in places other than the towering tower. The last time she saw such a thing was in a forbidden secret room in the school city.

So with strong curiosity, she did not return to her room, but followed Linde's whereabouts and came to the small garden. She happened to see Linde looking up at the outer wall of the towering tower, which also made her guess what she was seeing. This full-armored knight should be able to see something related to magic just like her.

This made her extremely excited, knowing that after so many years, she had never met anyone in the same situation as herself.

Even though her father, Earl Leighton, had always believed that she had special abilities like some of her ancestors and supported her in learning magic and witchcraft, she still felt lonely and out of tune with the world. This was what she wanted to do. On the towering tower, the reason why I don’t want to have contact with the outside world.

Now she suddenly discovered that a person had the same ability as her. It was like a person who had been on a desert island for more than ten years and suddenly discovered a similar person. The excitement in her heart could not be suppressed, making her completely forget about any etiquette. , walk directly to the other party and ask the other party.

As for now, even though she was frightened, she still did not give up contact with Linde.

"Miss Moroya, you should go back to the banquet. That's where you should stay." Linde could feel that the woman in front of him was a big trouble, so he would inevitably cause trouble. He adopted a cold attitude to let the other party know Retreat from difficulty.

Moroya looked at Linde and felt obvious indifference. After a moment of silence, she seemed to have given up. Without saying anything more, she turned and left the small garden.

Although Moroya left happily, Linde felt that the matter might not be over yet, and the trouble this woman brought to him might have just begun.

Afterwards, the trouble that Lind was worried about did not appear. Until the banquet was over and the servant found Lind, Moroya did not appear again.

The nobles who attended the banquet all left, and the noble knights who followed Vilas also returned to the camp outside the city, while Vilas did not leave, but stayed in the towering tower.

Because he will go to meet several big nobles in the old town early tomorrow morning, and then go to the school city to visit, and then go to the Starry Church for a sacramental prayer ceremony the day after tomorrow. The time is very tight, and it will be a waste to enter the city from outside the old town. A lot of time. .

Linde also stayed as the personal guard captain, and was arranged next to Vilas's room, which was the second floor of the towering tower. The window of the room faced the old town, and he could see the whole of the old town clearly from there.

Different from the outside of the Tower, there are no patterns containing mysterious power inside the Tower, nor is there any resentful soul energy. It is as if all the extraordinary powers are fixed on the wall, and Glory has become much quieter because of this.

"Sir Lind, can I come in?" When Lind took off his armor, took off his sword, and was about to rest, Vilas suddenly knocked on the door and asked.

Linde frowned, turned around, walked over, opened the door, and said to Vilas, who had changed into casual clothes, "Please come in, Lord Vilas."

Vilas walked in, closed the door, and then asked casually: "Master Linde, are you still used to living here?"

"This is at least better than the military camp." Linde replied.

Vilas added: "You didn't seem to eat at the banquet just now. I asked..."

Linde sighed and said: "Mr. Vilas, you came here to see me, you shouldn't just ask me if I am living well and if I have something to eat! You should just explain your purpose of coming!"

Vilas smiled awkwardly, then took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Lord Linde, what do you think of my aunt Mauroya Hightower?"
