28 Taste of King's Landing

"What can a golden dragon be bought?"

On the fourth morning after departure, Lanley, who was squatting in front of the fire, turned around and asked Davos beside him.

At this time, they were in a dense forest, with a canvas tent dyed in a light yellow colored stag embroidered with a crown.

There are seven or eight of these tents around, all of which were tied up by the travelers last night. Behind the tent group, there are endless rustling sounds from a turbulent river.

The fresh air in the forest in the early morning seemed to stimulate the vitality of the group. So although it was still early, most of the knights and attendants had already gotten up for a long time, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by

"If we don't consider embroidering the seal, the tent behind us is probably worth a silver deer." The thin former smuggler replied.

At this time, he was wearing a set of black linen clothes and brown breeches, and the cloak he was wearing was still gray and inconspicuous.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, he held a branch in his right hand and pulled the pile of ashes in front of him, while his left hand was wrapped with bandages, and he was placed on his knees and dared not move around.

Stannis cut off the front of five fingers of his left hand before, and also personally named him a knight. However, the confiscation of the territory required the permission of Robert, the current Duke of Wind Sniffle, and Stannis did not have this right at the moment.

Therefore, Davos also wanted to follow him to King's Landing.

"So can a golden dragon buy two hundred and ten tents?" Renli, who was squatting, touched his chin.

"More than 210 tops, if you buy a lot at a time, the price will be cheaper." Davos shook his head, his pale face made him look like he was ten years older.

"We can buy a set of armor, including mail, throat protection, neck protection, and helmets. Of course, the specific price should be calculated based on the market conditions at that time. Any product will rise or fall. We also have to consider where to buy it and how good the quality is. For example, the mail and weapons of the Iron Islands are more expensive than those in other places because of their blacksmith skills..."

A blonde southern knight in the team heard the name of the Iron Islands when he was passing by, and couldn't help but look at them with a warning. The other three northern soldiers gathered together and talked not far away were also attracted by their sight, but they didn't say anything.

If Donne is the feud between the storm land and the river bay, then the Iron Islands are the feud between the northern, western and river bays, because the border coastline of these places is located on the west side of the continent and is adjacent to the Iron Islands across the sea.

The Storm Land is actually considered to have a grudge against the Iron Islands. In ancient times, the area of ​​Hejian land was ruled by the Storm King, but later it was snatched away by the people of the Iron Islands.

In general, the iron people are not popular anywhere, because their history is composed of killing and plundering.

At this time, there were Storm Landmen, Hewan Landmen, and Northerners. Although most of the northern army was stationed in Fengxi Fort, some were sent to escort the two brothers of the Baratheon family to King's Landing.

The people in Hewandi were completely accompanied. The leader of Mess Tyriel was the Duke and Guardian of Hewandi. Now he happened to go to King's Landing with the current team to negotiate surrender and understanding.

However, the burly brown-haired nobleman did not have the attitude of a loser at the moment. Not only did he not worry about his fate after he went to rule, he also talked and laughed with his knights along the way.

At present, the guy even practiced his sword leisurely with a knight in the riverside on the bank of the river.

"Old men, no matter who is the king, but His Majesty Eris has agreed to allow us to cut trees and hunt in this forest. He has agreed to you, you cannot regret it."

There was also a sound in the other direction, and Stannis, the real leader of the team, was standing in front of his camp, wearing black leather armor, and listening to the two hunchbacked old farmers wearing coarse linen clothes with a straight face.

"Of course, we will pay for the money to raise pigs in the woods. But it was His Majesty Eris who approved us for raising bees. Yes, a white-robed knight named Dane said this to us in person, and he also said..."

...

Everything that was noisy was left behind as the team continued to set off. After setting off from Fengxi Castle, they passed through the Tongmen City and Wende River one after another, and were now walking through the hunting grounds for kings of all dynasties - the Imperial Grove.

This is a large forest. They have been walking here for two days. The villages and manors can be seen occasionally along the way. There are also many rabbits and elks in the forest who are running away quickly after seeing the team.

But most of the time the team faced trees, brown, pale, and tender green trees. Their leaves were sparse or dense, intertwined and dotted above the heads of the forest roads, and shone shadows with the sunlight.

"When will you arrive at King's Landing?"

Sitting in the swaying carriage, bored, not long after, the black-haired boy couldn't help but look at Davos, who was riding on the side of the carriage.

"It's expected to be half the way." Davos replied with his head turned.

There are not many people available to Stannis, so the former smuggler who had just been named a Knight became Renly's temporary guard. Davos did not resist this.

After the last conversation on the stairs, his resistance to Lan Li had basically disappeared.

"Then--" Lan Li wanted to continue talking, but from the corner of her eyes, she saw a thin figure kneeling there on the edge of Lin Road ahead, and couldn't help but look at it sideways.

The northern soldier who was opening the road ahead seemed to have taught the little guy blocking the road a lesson. Even though he looked blue and swollen, he still insisted on kneeling in the bushes, lowering his head, not knowing what he was doing.

Unfortunately, both the knights in the river beside land and the manpower in the storm land were only concerned about walking and ignored his existence.

"He is begging?" Lan Li asked when she saw this.

"He is selling himself." Davos looked at him, "disease, debt, and even hunger. The world is big, and there are always some people who can't survive."

While he said, he carefully released the reins held by one hand, and touched the place where the purse was placed on his body with a movable hand, but he only touched the empty space and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It didn't take any money to dive into the Fengxi Fort to deliver food by driving a small boat, but now the siege has just ended, so he didn't have time to replenish his personal finances.

Seeing this, the black-haired boy raised his hand and handed him a golden dragon along the carriage window.

"That's too much." Davos shook his head quickly.

"One golden dragon is not too much for one life," Lan Li replied.

Before leaving, the housekeeper gave him ten golden dragons as expenses, but Lan Li has not yet thought about what he can do with his current age.

"And I only have the Golden Dragon."

Davos gave him a strange look and asked, "Mr. Lanley is going to buy him?"

Although he no longer rejected contact with him, it was difficult for him to treat the boy in front of him as a normal child.

"Why do I want a little beggar?" Lan Li said, scanning the little guy who was gradually approaching with the carriage. The other party happened to see him at this time. He looked about seven or eight years old, his face was dirty and bruised, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. Only those green eyes were more outstanding and shining.

But facing Lan Li's gaze, the other party timidly avoided his eyes and quickly lowered his head.

"If I don't buy him, just treat it as I gave it to him." After saying that, the black-haired boy crawled back to the carriage, and after Davos looked at him deeply, he held the gold coins in his hand and rode his horse closer.

I thought the matter was over, but after a while, Davos, who had rushed back, spoke to Renli again.

"This kid is not simple," he said in a low voice.

"His arms are different from fingers and ordinary farm children, and are obviously trained in archery. Perhaps they are descendants of a bandit in the Royal Brotherhood."

"The Royal Brotherhood?"

"It was a group of destroyed bandits. Two years ago, they kidnapped nobles in this forest and blackmailed money to make a living. The crazy king Iris sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times but failed. In the end, they had to send the Royal Guard Sir Arthur Dane and the fearless Sir Balistan to lead the army..."

...

Time passed very slowly on the way, but when the destination was about to arrive, Renli felt that life was so fast. The journey was basically over, but the scene of life in the Wind and Snack Castle still seemed to be yesterday.

After the team left the Royal Forest, the continuous gray walls of Junlin City continued to expand as they approached, and a special smell gradually spread.

At first, Lan Li thought that this might be another medium, and she was still looking forward to it. However, when he got closer to a certain distance, he directly covered his nose and rolled his eyes.

"This is the smelliest city I've ever seen."

He told the former smuggler in this way.

However, not long after Lan Li officially entered Junlin City, he suddenly forgot all this sentence and became quite excited.
