Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 28: Missing Qyburn

It should be noted that if a champion gives the crown of honor to a woman who already has a family, or if a champion is married but does not give the crown to his wife, it will become a scandal. Prince Rhaegar's act of giving the crown to Lyanna Stark caused great controversy and triggered a series of subsequent events.

With his superb spear skills, Gavin was unstoppable and easily made it into the finals, becoming one of the eye-catching dark horses in this spear competition.

Interestingly, he met Garth Hightower, nicknamed "Gray Iron", in his first round. Garth, perhaps in order to save the Hightower family's reputation, stabbed Gavin in the vitals with his spear, but Gavin easily dodged it. After both sides broke two spears, Gavin shot Garth in the armpit, causing his entire arm to be dislocated, and he may need to recuperate for several months before it can heal.

In the final, Gavin met another dark horse, Garlan Tyrell, who was participating in the joust for the first time and was Margaery's brother.

Even though Gavin took the fight seriously, the two were still evenly matched in terms of spearmanship. Gavin broke five spears in a row before he managed to knock the opponent off his horse.

Garlan, who fell off his horse, did not admit defeat. Instead, he took the sword and shield handed to him by the servant and expressed his intention to continue to fight to Gavin on the horse.

Gavin immediately dismounted and took the sword, and the two men fought in an instant. However, under the master-level swordsmanship, Garland only lasted five moves before being defeated, and Gavin won the championship without any surprise.

Looking at the laurel wreath woven with roses in his hand, Gavin couldn't help but think of the dead Prince Rhaegar. It was the laurel wreath he won that led to the destruction of the country. He didn't know if he would regret it when he died. He shook his head and put aside all distracting thoughts. Gavin walked straight to the stands and gave the honor of "Queen of Love and Beauty" to Margaery Tyrell who was sitting on the stage.

Margaret was very excited when she received the wreath, and her face turned red. Although she had seen countless jousting competitions and experienced many similar scenes, this was the first time she had received this honor. Looking at Gavin in the audience, Margaret felt a little sad: "It would be great if he was really a prince."

The end of the jousting heralded the end of the entire tournament in the Reach. The nobles began to pack their bags and prepare to return home. The merchants who had gathered here for this event also slowly headed to other places. After bidding farewell to Sir Edmund, Gavin came to Highgarden Castle and planned to say goodbye to Margaery.

It is still the same flowery courtyard, the breeze blows gently, and the colorful petals fall slowly.

Gavin saw Margaret waiting there, with surprise and sadness in her eyes. Gavin bowed slightly, and Margaret returned the greeting with a flick of her skirt, and they both said hello to each other.

"I will be leaving Highgarden soon. I came here specially to say goodbye to you, Miss Margaery." Gavin looked at Margaery and said softly

Margaret's pretty face flashed a trace of disappointment, and she said anxiously: "Gavin, you really don't plan to serve in the High Court?"

Gavin shook his head slightly. "I still have some things to do. When I come back, I will visit you again."

Margaret bit her lip lightly and said with a smile: "Then I wish you a pleasant journey. Be sure to take good care of yourself when you are away. I look forward to seeing you again." Her eyes followed Gavin closely, as if she wanted to imprint his appearance deeply in her mind.

The flowers around swayed gently in the breeze, as if whispering the sadness of parting. Gavin came lightly, only carrying a sword, but after a tournament, he gained a lot.

A carriage was loaded with his spoils, with three huge boxes stacked on top. The heavy weight made it difficult for the carriage to move. The Blood Dragon Guard held the reins tightly in front, controlling the speed of the carriage.

Gavin frowned as he looked at the large boxes, thinking to himself: Fortunately, I exchanged the gold royals for gold notes in advance, otherwise a carriage would not be able to carry them all. I have to prepare the materials in advance in a while, which can save a lot of space and weight.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves and the squeaking of wheels were intertwined. Gavin walked for more than ten days without encountering any trouble, which made him quite regretful.

Returning to the old town again, he planned to make some preparations here and get some magical knowledge from Maester Qyburn before going out.

The streets of the old town were still bustling as Gavin walked through them. Soon he came to the inn where he had stayed before, booked a room, put all his belongings in the room, ordered the Blood Dragon Guards to guard it, and then headed to the Citadel.

"Master Qyburn was expelled from the Citadel? When did it happen?" Gavin was very surprised to hear the news. He didn't expect that Qyburn would be exposed less than a month after he left. I don't know if this is the time when Qyburn was expelled from the Citadel in the original plot, or if it was the butterfly effect caused by his arrival in this world?
"Just ten days ago, the Citadel discovered that he was secretly conducting some inhumane experiments, so they stripped him of his bachelor's chain and kicked him out. Fortunately, you left. If you were still studying with him at that time, you would also be investigated, and the time for making the chain might have been postponed." Bachelor Mishu still sighed at Gavin's luck.

Gavin took out a few gold royals from his pocket and handed them to Maester Mishu. "Do you know where Qyburn went after being expelled from the Citadel?"

Bachelor Mixiu skillfully put the golden dragon into his pocket and thought for a while, then said, "I heard that he was active in the Port Street area, treating the injuries of the mercenaries passing by to make money." Thinking that Gavin was reluctant to give up Coben's knowledge, Mixiu hurriedly said, "But don't worry, I can arrange other bachelors for you. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."

Gavin shook his head and said, "No need, Master Mishu. Actually, I am planning to resign from my position as assistant master this time. I plan to go out and travel."

"That's a shame, Gavin. You are a very good doctor. But cases like yours happen every year. If you have really decided, let me help you with the formalities."

"Thank you for your help, Master Michu." Gavin said politely.

After leaving the Citadel, Gavin headed straight for Port Street. After spending some money to inquire, he learned that Coben had left here three days ago. It was said that he boarded a ship with a team of mercenaries, but no one knew where he went.

Gavin was helpless and planned to go back to the hotel to prepare medicine. When he passed by Old John's Tavern, he met an acquaintance, Luca, whom he had treated before.
