On the pier outside Yangwu City, there are several merchant ships docked for loading and unloading goods.

A lavender flag hung on the mast of one of them, with a crossed sword and a shooting star printed on it——

This is the crest of House Dain, lord of Starfall City.

"Boss, there is a gentleman down below looking for you!"

Captain Gilmore walked out of the cabin smelling of alcohol and shouted impatiently:

"Which sir?"

"I don't know. He didn't say."

"He didn't say you couldn't see for yourself! Damn idiot!"

"But he doesn't have any family crest on him, what should I think?"

Guillermo frowned and cursed a few times under his breath, but still staggered off the boat.

Then, he met the "master" in the crew's mouth - a thin, middle-aged man with handsome appearance and elegant temperament, with a small beard on his chin.

Although this man did not have any family crest on his body, Gilmore, who had a vicious eye, dared to bet all his wealth that he must be an aristocratic lord.

Gilmore stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Master, what are your orders?"

Petyr Baelish threw a silver stag smoothly, and without waiting for Gilmore to thank him, he asked:

"Is your ship bound for Starfall City?"

"Yes, sir, are you going to Starfall City too?"

"No, I want to go to Yingzui Island."

"Yingzui Island?" Gilmore touched his bald head in confusion, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't think I've heard of this place."

"It's just south of the mouth of the Turbulent River, across a bay from Starfall City. You will pass by it on the way to Starfall City from here, but you have to deviate slightly from the route. If possible, I would like to take your ship there

, cost is not an issue.”

"I seem to have some impression..." Gilmore seemed to have remembered something, "But, sir, I remember it was a barren mountainous area with nothing there. Are you sure you want to go there?"

"Your news is out of date." Petyr showed his signature smile, "There is now a territory there."

"territory?"

"Yes, the Duke of Metz canonized the pioneer knights, and Sir Samwell Caesar has established a territory there."

When he heard that it was a territory established by the Riverbend people, Gilmore's expression changed slightly.

Dorne and the Reach have had a feud for thousands of years. Although Gilmore often stops at the ports of the Reach for business reasons, as a Dornishman, his deep-rooted hostility towards the Reachers can never be erased.

"There is nothing but stones in that place. Are the people in the River Bend crazy? They want to open up there?"

"No one says anything, but there is a silver mine there."

"Silver mine?" Gilmore's eyes couldn't help but shine with golden light.

"Yes. I heard that the territory has now begun to take shape, with tens of thousands of citizens."

"Tens of thousands of people..." Gilmore's expression gradually became serious, "That's really not small... When did this start? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"

"It seems like it was just over four months ago."

"There are already tens of thousands of people in just four months?" Although Gilmore doesn't understand pioneering, he also knows how astonishing this speed is.

"Yes. That is a young and promising pioneer knight. I am about to visit him. Can you carry your ship?"

Gilmore calmed down, smiled and nodded quickly:

"Of course, sir. I just want to go there and have a look."

"Okay, when will your ship leave?"

"Let's set off on time at noon, sir."

"Okay, then I'll go to the city first and come back later."

"Okay, sir."

Gilmore looked at Petyr's figure in the distance, suddenly slapped his head, and said to himself:

"I forgot to ask that gentleman's name! Forget it, I'll ask him again when he comes back. I don't know which family he belongs to..."

After saying that, Gilmore wandered back to the boat.

…

The time came to noon.

Guillermo lay on the side of the boat, looking in the direction of Yangwu City, but he never saw the aristocratic gentleman appear again in the morning.

He thought the other party was just delayed, so he decided to wait a little longer.

However, Gilmore did not know that the noble man he was waiting for had actually boarded a merchant ship bound for Braavos and had already set sail.

As the sun gradually set, Gilmore's patience finally ran out.

He smashed the wine bottle in his hand to the deck and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"No more waiting! Let's go!"

After setting sail, Gilmore could not help but think while steering the rudder——

Why not drop by the Yingzui Island to have a look?

…

A tall and majestic castle stands abruptly among the red mountains.

The lilac flag fluttering on the city head is printed with crossed swords and a shooting star.

If you want to talk about the oldest family in Westeros, there may be some controversy, but if you want to talk about the oldest family in Dorne, it must be the Dane family in Starfall City.

Legend has it that in the Dawn Era 10,000 years ago, the first Dane followed the falling stars, came here, and built his own castle at the mouth of the turbulent river.

His descendants ruled the mountains to the west of Dorne in the name of "Kings of the Flooding River" until House Martell, who united the Rhoynar, conquered all of Dorne.

"Samwell Caesar?" Sir Urric Sand, acting lord of Starfall City, frowned, "Caesar is from a family in the Riverbend? Why have I never heard of him?"

Gilmore stood cautiously in the hall and replied:

"Sir, I have inquired about it. This Sir Caesar is actually the eldest son of the Tarly family of Hornling. He was later canonized as a pioneer knight by the Duke of Metz, and he went to Eagle Beak Island to pioneer."

"Jiaoling, the Tully family..." Urric frowned even more tightly, "Since he is the eldest son of the Tully family, why did he give up his inheritance rights and come out to develop?"

"This...this..."

Seeing Gilmore hesitating, Urrick knew that the other person didn't know either: "Okay, you can go down."

"Yes, sir."

After Gilmore left, Urric leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Although the territory of the Dane family includes the mountainous areas along the Turbulent River, to be more precise, they only have sufficient influence on the east side of the river. As for the west of the river, most of the savage tribes there are not based on the Dane family's influence.

Lead the people to live on their own.

Not to mention that it is not at all along the Turbulent River, but already on Yingzui Island further south of the river's mouth.

However, the people of the River Bend actually built a city in the Crimson Mountains, and it was also near the mouth of the Turbulent River, which made Urik nervous.

After all, it's not that far from Starfall City.

Samwell was also the name of a great King of the Turbulent River in the history of House Dane. This king nicknamed "Starfire" once conquered a large territory in the southern part of the river, even including Oldtown.

Now, a Samwell actually appears in the river bend. What will he do?

Urick thought for a long time, then stretched out his hand to summon his attendants and ordered:

"Send a few trustworthy merchant ship owners to go to Yingzui Island to inquire about the situation there and report back to me."
