#70 - Chapter 33: Revisiting the Old Place
As a knight personally appointed by the king, Liu Yuan was also granted land. His fief, White Thorn Manor, was a small village with a population of fewer than two hundred people. It was located on the west side of the King's Road, backed by a tributary of the Blackwater River. According to the map, one could directly enter the God's Eye Lake along this tributary.
It was also close to the site of the previous encounter with the Brotherhood remnants. This area originally belonged to a knightly domain in the Riverlands, but during the war a few years ago, they supported the Targaryen royal family. These lords were either killed in battle or had their territories confiscated, all of which reverted to the royal family. King Robert was very generous and directly gave him about a thousand acres of land near the village, including the mountains and forests. The territory was indeed quite large, about four square kilometers, enough to build a city.
Liu Yuan's mind was now occupied with his dragon eggs, which had been buried in Harrenhal for a full eight years. That night, he explained everything to Count Atrinian and left Lannisport with twenty cavalrymen overnight. This time, he took the northern River Road, which started from Casterly Rock, extended northeast, passed through Sarsfield and Golden Tooth in the Westerlands, and reached Riverrun in the Riverlands. Then, it extended eastward along the Red Fork River of the Trident River, eventually intersecting with the King's Road extending from the north and the High Road extending from the eastern Vale at the Crossroads Inn.
Liu Yuan didn't care about the glory of the tournament, but many people seemed to be very enthusiastic about it, and Jorah Mormont was one of them. Because he met the goddess of his life, Lynesse Hightower, and was immediately captivated. Young Jorah was also tall and mighty, with handsome features. As the sole heir to Bear Island, he was even more extraordinary. Lynesse, who was used to seeing the nobles of the south, also liked this type. The two quickly hooked up and secretly exchanged tokens of love.
Jorah also wrote a letter to his old father, stating that he would not marry anyone but Lynesse. This worried the old man for several days, as the Hightower family was not comparable to small lords like them from Bear Island. In order to add points for his son, the old man reluctantly chose to don the black robe and join the Night's Watch. The position of Earl of Bear Island was given to Jorah Mormont.
A few days later, Jorah received a letter from his hometown, which roughly meant: Son! Your father is incapable. I'm going to guard the Great Wall. From now on, you will be in charge of the family affairs. If you want to pick up girls, figure it out yourself!
He was immediately dumbfounded. He just wrote a letter back, intending to ask his father to find a way to propose marriage to Earl Hightower. As a result, he became the head of the family, directly transforming from an heir into the Lord of Bear Island.
……………………………………
Pitchfork Town, this is a small village far from Harrenhal, located in the dense forest south of the River Road. Near dusk, a team of cavalry broke the tranquility of this small village.
They went straight to the largest house in the village, which was usually the home of the village chief. A somewhat obese middle-aged man came out respectfully to greet them. Never neglecting nobles at any time is the foundation for commoners to establish themselves in this world. A smile piled up on his fat face: "Greetings, lords, welcome to our Pitchfork Town. I am Zorn, the village chief here. Is there anything I can do for you?" He was considered a knowledgeable village chief, and his eyes glanced at the flag held by the cavalry.
The square flag indicated that they were at least formal knights, embroidered with a strange-looking basilisk, with a head somewhat resembling a dragon.
Then a tall, gorgeously dressed young man dismounted. He said to the village chief: "Village Chief Zorn, right! Tell everyone not to be nervous, we are just passing by. We have been on the road for several days and plan to rest here for a day before leaving. Arrange a clean place for us to stay, and ask some villagers to help prepare food." As he spoke, he threw out a small money bag. Zorn caught the money bag with agility that did not match his obesity. He squeezed it and his face was immediately filled with smiles: "Please rest assured, lords, I will arrange it and definitely make you satisfied."
Then he shouted loudly to the surrounding villagers: "Bass, quickly take your sons to clean up the stables. Yona, hurry up and prepare to cook, and tell your dead ghost to remember to use the best wheat flour to bake bread…" It could be seen that Zorn had considerable prestige in the village, and he directed the villagers in an orderly manner. Chopping firewood, cleaning houses, cooking, and boiling water were all arranged in an orderly manner. Only then did he quietly open the money bag. There were as many as 30 silver stags inside, and he was immediately overjoyed. This time, he had made a fortune.
This place originally belonged to the fief of the House Whent, but during the War of the Usurper a few years ago, not only did most of the male members of the House Whent die in battle, but after the war, Duke Hoster Tully also reduced half of their fief. Currently, this place is directly under the jurisdiction of the Tully family, and the village pays taxes to Riverrun every six months. An extra income is beneficial to the entire village.
Late at night, a black shadow disappeared into the dense forest outside the village. More than an hour later, the black shadow arrived at the shore of the God's Eye Lake. He carefully observed the surrounding terrain and came to a tall tree.
He jumped up under the tree and climbed onto the tree trunk. He took out an object from a nest woven from already decayed tree vines. Looking at the spearhead used to insert fish, he smiled knowingly.
This person was Liu Yuan. After four days of rushing, in order to avoid attracting attention, he specially stayed in a small village west of Harrenhal. After settling his men, he secretly slipped out and traveled through the dense forest for more than an hour before arriving here.
After so many years of not returning here, the changes were not significant. Many of the traces from that year had disappeared, including the small broken boat that he had repaired. Without wasting any time, Liu Yuan took out an iron shovel from the space and began to dig vigorously under the tree. He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, burying it so deep. The sensation transmitted from the front end of the shovel indicated that he had already dug it up.
Soon Liu Yuan dug out all the dragon eggs from the ground. He carefully examined them in the moonlight and they had not changed at all from a few years ago. He placed his palm on them and carefully felt them. He did not feel the rhythm of life. But he could feel it. The majestic energy inside the dragon eggs.
With a thought, the dragon eggs were taken into his space. The purpose of coming here had been accomplished. He didn't even bother to pretend and didn't even care about the big pit on the ground.
Liu Yuan hadn't walked far when he felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being watched. He stopped. He carefully observed his surroundings. His gaze quickly fell on a black shadow on the branch. With his eyesight, he could clearly see it.
It was a crow, tilting its head and staring at him, its dark eyes giving people a very uncomfortable feeling. He vigorously raised his left hand, and a wooden arrow shot out like a strong crossbow, directly turning the crow into a cloud of blood.
After casually killing a crow, Liu Yuan continued to sneak through the forest. But soon, that feeling came again. This time, there was not just one crow. In the mid-air not far away, there were six or seven crows circling. This made him think of a profession: skinchanger. In the North, they are also called wolf dreamers, referring to humans who can invade the consciousness of animals or other people and control their behavior.
