The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Junlin, Gou Alley, afternoon.

As soon as Green, Mengton and Ange entered the courtyard, they met a young man in blue robe of average height but very strong.

After the young man in blue robe discovered Green's figure, he came up to him with excitement and knelt down: "Lord Green, the loyal Martyr Baker sends his regards to you."

Signaling Martial Baker to stand up, a smile appeared on Green's face: "Martial, are you ready to go out?"

22-year-old Mathil scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I finally have a son. My father has been in the old place and his return date is unknown. I couldn't wait any longer. I asked Steward Herschel to send me to the merchant ship. I followed Hershel's instructions. I found the address told by Butler Sher, I just arrived."

Martial Baker is the legitimate son of Kreb's retainer, the knight Mason Baker. The Mason Baker family has a rule that must not be broken. The eldest son cannot go to war or travel far away before giving birth to a son.

According to rumors, this rule was specially set by Kleb's ancestors for the family of retainer knights. The family of Per Pili, who is also Kreb's retainer knight, also has the exact same rules.

Martyr, who got married at the age of fifteen under the arrangement of the Chevalier de Masson, worked continuously for seven years in order to complete his family's mission and gain more freedom.

Green understood very well that Martier was impatient to run out the door as soon as he gave birth to his son. Well done to Kleb's ancestors!

Green patted Martyr's strong shoulder: "Welcome, Martyr, from now on you will be my retinue, responsible for taking care of my mount and keeping my bow and arrows."

Martial suppressed his excitement and knelt down again: "I swear, following the tradition of the Baker family for generations, I will always be loyal to you until death. I swear this in the name of the old and new gods."

According to Kleb's tradition, Green stood on the sword with both hands, and his steady voice was full of solemnity: "There will always be a place for you by my fireplace, and your meat and wine will always be on my table. I regard the old and new gods as I swear in my name."

An Gai looked hot and asked Mengton in a low voice: "Have you sworn allegiance to Lord Green?"

Mengton blinked his big eyes that lacked the light of wisdom: "No, haven't you read the lord's military regulations? Unless there are special circumstances, only after serving the lord for three years, based on past merits, can one be qualified to be alone I swear allegiance to the lord, I am not in a hurry.”

An Gai scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm not very literate... Hey, are you literate?"

The naive Mengton was a little proud: "My mother taught me not to eat enough if I don't learn."

An Gai's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal: "What is a special situation?"

Meng Dun replied in a naive voice: "Like him? Like Martier's family, they have been loyal to the lord's family for hundreds of years since their ancestors."

Hundreds of years? This was really incomparable, and An Gai's mood instantly dropped.

Mengton comforted: "The most important thing in the first three years is obedience. Obeying every order of the lord is just obedience. I think this is too simple."

When Menton was little, he would starve if he disobeyed his mother. For Menton, the word "obedience" is so familiar and familiar.

Menton continued: "After three years, you will be eligible to swear allegiance to the lord. After swearing allegiance, if you make great achievements in the future, the lord may also canonize you as a knight. I specifically asked that illegitimate children can also be canonized as knights. I will also have a chance to become a knight, hehe!"

In Menton's words, Ange saw a very clear path to promotion.

Can I also be made a knight? The lost An Gai was instantly full of blood.

"Well, by the way..."

Mengton suddenly remembered something and said: "I remembered another special situation. Emparo, the commander of the Thorn Corps, she swore allegiance on the first day."

An Gai's interest greatly increased: "The name sounds like a woman? How did she do it?"

Meng Dun had a naive expression on his face: "She is very strong. Everyone says she is very powerful. She is the number one female general in the territory."

An Gai didn't know what he thought of and suddenly asked: "Are all the women in Qingyu City so powerful?"

Mengton, who has the intuition of a beast, played a trick when answering Angui: "Some people are special?"

Yes, it is normal for a small number of women to be special. An Gai nodded in agreement.

The women of Whispering City, um, spearwives, are just a little stronger, a little fiercer, a little more ruthless, and are pretty good except not losing to men in a fight!

Mengton, who always had a naive expression, also nodded along with Ange.

Mengton thought he should change the subject: "Angei, you are very skilled. Don't be impatient. You also have a chance."

An Gai expressed his gratitude: "Mengton, I can do it. I didn't expect you to know so much. I will ask you for more advice in the future."

Meng Dun smiled naively: "I have had very good hearing since I was a child. I can hear many things that everyone talks about when eating."

An Gai first had a look on his face that said, "You are so awesome." Then he said, "You have to teach me how to read. From now on, all my wine will be yours."

Mengton shook his big head: "It's okay, I like to cooperate with you, and I'm happy to help you. You like wine, so you don't need to tell me apart. If you can read, you can memorize the lord's military regulations. That's really important."

A certain flower blooms between Menton and Angay.

Hey, the flower of friendship!

Martial, who was holding Green's mount, hesitated for a while and then said to Green: "My lord, do you remember the businessman Jeffries?"

Jeffries is a moderately successful businessman. He owns two 100-foot (more than 30 meters) flat-bottomed sailboats and is mainly engaged in trade along the coast of Blackwater Bay. He has had many leather transactions with Whispering City.

It was Jeffries' merchant ship that Green took from Mermaid Harbor to King's Landing.

The expensive ticket impressed Green, who nodded.

"Sir, I was also on Jeffries' merchant ship this time. We encountered pirates on the first night on the road. Although the royal patrol ship in Blackwater Bay rescued in time and avoided heavy losses, Jeffries' belly He was hit by an arrow and his injuries are serious. I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive for a few days.”

Stannis Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone, is the second brother of King Robert Baratheon and serves as Lord of the Sea. Stannis Baratheon's character is serious and reserved, he is meticulous about the law and never compromises. Therefore, under the jurisdiction of Sea Lord Stannis Baratheon, the royal fleet never dared to relax its patrols in Blackwater Bay and other waters.

But the sea is vast, and there are always some bold and cunning pirates who will avoid the royal fleet and take risks to enter the Blackwater Bay, which is the most important thing for Sea Lord Stannis Baratheon.

Green's heart moved, and his brown eyes moved in the direction of Martial.

"After I got on the ship, Jeffries knew my identity and treated me warmly, saying that he had great respect for you, sir."
