Entering the banquet hall, Samwell saw Miss Margaery Tyrell at first sight.

The "Rose of Highgarden" wore a pink halterneck satin dress tonight. The backless waist design perfectly outlined her graceful figure, and her clear and deep brown eyes seemed to be magnificent.

With her precious stones, crystal clear red lips and elegant and charming smile, her noble temperament and stunning beauty, this duke's daughter can become the well-deserved center of attention wherever she goes.

Of course, Samwell would not walk up to her so recklessly.

This is a towering tower, and he must first express greetings and thanks to the owner.

Earl Leyton is also easy to find.

The gentlemen on the right half of the hall vaguely surround a core, and there are four people at the core——

One was Ser Baelor Hightower who welcomed Samwell into the castle in the afternoon, the other was Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers" who was dressed up in a colorful dress, and the other was tall and handsome, with embroidered on his chest.

The young man with the "Crown Stag" heraldry——

This should be the king's youngest brother, the Duke of Storm's End, Renly Baratheon.

The white-haired old man who was chatting cordially with Lord Renly should be the owner of the Tower, Lord Leyton.

Ser Baelor noticed Samwell's approach and whispered something in his father's ear.

Then, Earl Leighton's eyes turned around.

Before Samwell could speak, the old earl smiled and said:

"Sir Caesar, I have received your gift, I like it very much!"

"It is my honor, Lord Earl." Samwell stepped forward and bowed.

At this time, Duke Renly asked curiously:

"Excuse me, is Caesar a family from the Reach? Why have I never heard of it?"

Loras explained:

"Lord Renly, this is the pioneer knight of the Tyrell family, Samwell, the eldest son of Lord Randyll Tarly. He has just established a new territory in the Crimson Mountains, and Caesar is his new family name."

When Lord Renly heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He wondered why the eldest son of the Tully family left Horn Hill alone and instead went to explore barren lands like the Crimson Mountains.

Of course, out of politeness, he would definitely not ask such a question, but smiled and said:

"It turns out he is a knight from a hunter family. No wonder he was able to carve out a territory in the Crimson Mountains. What a hero!"

"Your Excellency, you are ridiculous. My castle has not been built yet, so I dare not say that I have opened up a territory."

"I believe you can build a castle." Duke Renly encouraged him, and then he saw that Samwell had something to discuss with Lord Leyton, so he thoughtfully said, "I'll get some food, and you guys can talk.

"

"I'll go too." Loras followed him naturally.

Facing Earl Leyton and his son alone, Samwell did not mince words and said directly:

"My Lord Earl, I came to Old Town this time mainly because I want to seek your help for three things."

"Say." Earl Leighton always smiled.

"The first thing is that a silver mine was discovered in my territory. I have sent someone to King's Landing to apply for authorization from His Majesty. However, I also need a bachelor who is proficient in mining, refining, and casting. I wonder if you can

Can you introduce me to someone?"

"The rules of the academy are that each lord will be assigned a bachelor as an advisor. However, until the construction of your castle is completed and you are recognized as an official lord by the Governor of the Riverbend, the academy will probably not send you a bachelor."

"That's why I want to ask you a favor. Can the city be accommodating and send a bachelor in advance? If not, then at least give me the technology of silver mining."

"The rules of the school cannot be accommodated, and I can't interfere with this."

Hearing this, Samwell rolled his eyes secretly - as the founders and patrons of the academy, the Hightowers were lying when they said they couldn't even handle such a trivial matter.

Before Samwell could speak again, Earl Leighton said again: "However, I can ask Moroya to teach you the mining and refining techniques of silver mines."

Mauroya Hightower? The “crazy girl”?

Samwell retracted his previous complaints about Earl Leyton and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your help! I wonder who Miss Moroya is? I want to go and express my gratitude to her in person later."

"She is not here." Belle shook her head with a wry smile, "My sister has never liked to participate in social activities among nobles. I will take you to see her tomorrow morning."

The scientific research geek certainly deserves his reputation.

"Okay, please excuse me." Samwell thanked you and then continued the previous topic, "The second thing is about the supply of food supplies. You must also know that barren land like the Crimson Mountains cannot be grown at all.

to produce crops, so I need to purchase food and other living supplies from the outside world. I don’t know if the Hightower family is willing to be my supplier."

Although there is already a supplier of the Cui family, Samwell will definitely not be willing to hand over the lifeblood of the territory to one family. Finding multiple suppliers to spread the risk is the best way.

Moreover, the Kuyi family can supply up to 30,000 people. Samwell certainly does not feel that this is the upper limit of the population of his territory, and it is necessary to find more supply channels sooner or later.

"That's no problem." Earl Leyton's answer should be simple. Making money is the Hightower family's favorite thing to do. "You can discuss the details directly with Baile."

Baylor on the side bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, Sir Caesar, now I am taking care of the family's business affairs."

"Okay." Samwell nodded towards Baile, and then added, "As for the third thing, I have brewed a new wine in my territory, and I want to talk to you about cooperative sales."

"New wine?" Earl Leighton sniffed subconsciously, "Can I have a taste?"

This is an old drunkard.

Samwell looked at the other person's red nose and snickered secretly, took an oak jar from Todd's hand beside him, and said:

"This is a new wine I brewed from mountain grapes in the Crimson Mountains. It tastes pretty good. Please try it."

With that said, Samwell waved to a waiter, took out a cup from the tray, filled it with brandy, and handed it to Earl Leyton.

Samwell was about to remind him that the wine was very strong, but before he could speak, Earl Leyton drank it all.

"Good wine!" The old count exhaled the smell of wine, and beads of sweat oozed out from his forehead, and his nose suddenly turned redder.

When Belle saw this, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Can you get me a drink too?"

"Of course." Samwell nodded happily.

At this time, Renly and Loras, two good friends, had just returned from fetching the meal. Seeing this, they also asked Samwell for a drink.

The nobles of Westeros can be said to be drunkards per capita due to their health and social needs.

Therefore, Brandy's first official appearance in public was more perfect than Samwell imagined.

"The sweetness of grapes and the aroma of oak are perfectly combined to form such a mellow and sweet taste. Sir Caesar, you are really a wine-making genius!" Earl Leighton shook his head and praised in a drunken tone, "This wine

Do you have a name?"

"Brandy." Samwell said with a smile, and then showed some regret, "It's a pity that the storage time was too short, and the aroma of oak has not completely penetrated into the wine, otherwise the taste would have been better. Lord Earl, look, this sea of ​​wine

Can the Tarr family help with the sale?”
