#10 - Chapter 10: The World of Game of Thrones

The place is called "Whispering Keep" because the seawater has eroded holes in the cliffs, and when the waves pass through the underground caves and tunnels, they make a rumbling sound.

Of course, all this was told to Liu Yuan by Sir Bandier, who said that the castle had been abandoned for more than a thousand years.

Liu Yuan was very puzzled by this. The main structure of the castle was still very complete. A knight like Bandier, who didn't have much money, could save a lot of money by simply repairing the ruins and using them. Yet, for over a thousand years, it had been abandoned and no one had lived here?

The team set up camp outside the ruins, and at the Earl's command, everyone rested here for two days. During this time, people continued to join them. They were all knights whose fiefs were far from here.

With their addition, the Setigar family's team reached more than a hundred people. There were a total of two barons and seventeen knights, as well as fifty-eight knight squires. Liu Yuan also understood why the Earl only brought twenty or so guards. With so many armed knights, it was enough to ensure safety.

These knight squires were all skilled warriors, which was also a characteristic of the knight system. Because Bandier was not yet accustomed to the change in identity, he still retained some of his previous mercenary habits. He and Old Parker got along surprisingly well, often getting together to drink, brag, and talk about the women of the East Continent.

The team stayed near Whispering Keep for two days, and then, at the Earl's command, the team set off again. However, they first detoured northeast for a while, passing through the forest to the vicinity of Dreadfort on the northern coast of Claw Isle.

From a distance, you could see three towers crookedly built on the high cliffs by the sea. That was the land of the Brunn family, the Dreadfort Baron appointed by the King.

The team did not enter the Brunn family's territory, but turned west onto a smooth road. Suddenly, a large team appeared, which naturally aroused the vigilance of Dreadfort. Soon, soldiers rode over to check, and when they learned that it was the Setigar family's convoy passing by, they hurried back to report.

The convoy continued for about a day, and then they saw a city that looked very large from a distance. It was protected by walls on all sides, at least five times the size of Crackclaw Point.

Seeing that Liu Yuan was interested, Bandier introduced him: "That is Maidenpool, which belongs to the Mooton Earl's territory. It is also the most prosperous town along the shore of the Bay of Crabs. Commerce is extremely developed here. Many northern merchants enter the Riverlands and the Crownlands from here. Do you see that road to the south? It is called the Kingsroad. If you go south along it, passing through Duskendale, you will reach King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms."

The name "King's Landing," which rarely appeared in Western culture, was like a flash of lightning, connecting the dots in Liu Yuan's mind. He realized that he was in the world of the American drama "Game of Thrones."

Even his previous strange appearance, silver-gold hair and purple eyes, was typical of Valyrians. 'Dragon Mother' Daenerys Targaryen and her good-for-nothing brother had this appearance. It was just that the costumes in the TV series were not obvious, so he didn't recognize it.

Damn it, this world is more dangerous than imagined. The Others in the Land of Eternal Winter, the dragons soaring in the sky. And those R'hllor priests who play with fire, the warlocks and shadowbinders of the Shadowlands.

Liu Yuan knew that he was so weak now that he must not be reckless and must continue to be cautious. He had to figure out the current timeline before he could know how to respond. If a great war was about to break out in Westeros, then he would have to go to the East Continent as soon as possible to take refuge.

In order to figure out the current situation, Liu Yuan quickly asked: "Who is the current King of Westeros? How long has he been on the throne?"

Bandier was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question: "The current King! Of course, it is His Majesty King Aerys II Targaryen, who has been crowned for twenty years." Although he got an answer, it was a very unfamiliar name.

Liu Yuan searched his memory but had no impression at all. What number was Daenerys's queen title? What's worse is that these kings will give their children the names of their ancestors.

He had to study the history of Westeros when he had the chance, but the key was that he was still illiterate, and he couldn't understand even if he put the history book in front of him.

Liu put his eyes on Bandier again. In fact, Bandier had always said that he planned to take Liu Yuan as his page.

A page can also be called a wine server. After a boy becomes a page, he will follow a knight, who is his master and teacher. Many knights and lords will let their children follow relatives or allies, and let other pages follow them.

And the work of the page is very simple, just running errands for the knight. Only after getting the knight's approval will they teach them important combat skills, such as riding, jousting, and swordsmanship. Generally, they use special training blunted swords (wooden swords with iron cores) during training.

Under normal circumstances, when a boy grows up (usually in adolescence), he is no longer a page but becomes a squire. After a few more years of teaching, the squire knows how to guard and use weapons, armor, and horses, and also learns the knightly spirit.

In times of war, the squires will follow their masters to the battlefield. They help the knights prepare their equipment and fight side by side. There are also some squires who do not become knights, so they are squires for life. It may be that they cannot adapt to the knight's lifestyle, or it may be that they do not have the money to buy equipment.

The key is that Liu Yuan knows that this commoner-born knight is poor! He can't even put together his own equipment, so how can he have the money to raise a page? He probably wants to find a page who knows blacksmithing skills, usually runs errands for him, and can also help him make equipment in his spare time. Bah ~ wishful thinking!

Mooton was also an Earl family, and Adrian had to visit in person out of courtesy. He was preparing gifts when an invitation from Maidenpool arrived first. Earl William Mooton hosted a banquet at the castle, inviting the Adrian Earl family to be guests.

The lord took his family and two vassals to the banquet. When the masters left, the people below naturally began to move freely. Bandier and Old Parker went to the city by appointment. Looking at their lewd looks, you don't need to guess where they went.

Of course, Liu Yuan had to guard the luggage in the camp. He was thinking about what to do next? He was holding a tree branch in his hand, gesturing on the ground. What is certain is that the Targaryen family is still in power, but I don't know if there are any dragons still alive?

Liu Yuan remembered that Duke Stark had said to the dragon bones in the Dragonpit that the dragons had been extinct for more than a hundred years. Oh, right. There is also the Stark family in the North. You can ask about the name of Duke Stark. Is this person called Ryder or Ned? And Robert Baratheon. Only by determining the timeline can the next plan be carried out.
