"We will talk about the savage issue later, but now we will talk about the White Walkers."
He had another excuse to return to Tyrosh a few days later. There were too many women at home, and Werther was afraid that he would not be able to control himself. He already had relationships with three women, and they were all forced to do so in compliance with customs and public opinion. If there were more women, it would be too much.
It’s meaningless. One day of happiness will lead to endless troubles.
Renly: "Witt, can you tell me in detail how you fought with the White Walkers back then?"
Werther only told them about the Children of the Forest back then, and they all thought that Werther went north to find the Children of the Forest.
"This story has to start with a three-eyed crow." Werther told in detail what happened when he went north, the two women were not adapted to the climate, Maester Yin Meng at the Great Wall, the encounter with the White Walkers, the Children of the Forest and the Green Seer. p>
"Don't think of the White Walkers as real ghosts and gods! Just think of them as a necromancer with strong martial arts skills. In the future, you can also promote the soldiers in this way to eliminate their fear. In terms of the strength of the White Walkers, even if
With special weapons, even a powerful knight cannot deal with it, but if commanded properly, a hundred knights charge, ignore the attacks of the zombies and sacrifice themselves, and should be able to kill a White Walker."
Now that magicians, children of the forest, and dragons have all appeared in King's Landing, everyone has easily accepted Witte's description of the White Walkers. They are just a powerful non-human race, not invincible ghosts and gods.
Everyone present felt incredible after hearing this! If it weren't for Werther's current identity and strength, anyone who told it would be regarded as a bragging story.
Robert is thinking about the problem of southerners not adapting to the climate and weakening their combat effectiveness when they go north.
Pycelle paid more attention to Yin Meng. He was not worried that Yin Meng's arrival would take away his position. A centenarian did not have the energy to follow the king to handle government affairs. He planned to seriously propose to the city to transfer Bachelor Yin Meng back to King's Landing.
, giving lectures and recording his life's knowledge.
Renly: "Listen to what you said, I should have no problem dealing with two or three White Walkers. You can give me some special training someday."
Witte: "I've been free recently. The White Walkers are best dealt with by elite knights and magicians. The most troublesome thing now is the huge army of corpses."
Robert: "The combat power of a ghoul is equivalent to that of a militiaman, but I heard you say that this thing can't be burned without chopping it into pieces. The more we fight, the more we fight. If a certain war is lost and all the dead soldiers turn into ghouls, it will be a big deal."
Trouble."
Stannis: "So when fighting against the White Walkers, only the most experienced nobles can command the battle. Those nobles who want to gain merit must go home."
Everyone talked to each other and finally decided on a feasible plan to reduce the number of ghouls, starting with the savages.
The savages are not a non-human race, but humans and giants who live outside the Great Wall in the north. They do not belong to any of the lords of the Seven Kingdoms, and they do not have a unified writing system. Their productivity is backward, so people in the seven countries call them savages. Others call them savages.
They call themselves free people! They call people south of the Great Wall "kneeling people".
There is no clear record of the number of savages, but it is said that there are hundreds of thousands outside the Great Wall. There are no large cities, and they are divided into hundreds of different cultures, tribes, clans, villages and raiding parties, often clashing over food and iron weapons. Robert: "You want wildlings too? These people are disobedient. I've heard from Eddard that the North has also tried to accept wildlings in its history, but they all ended in tragedy."
Not only Robert, but everyone else at the royal council was also surprised. The Stepped Stone Islands were so short of people that even the savages who disobeyed the management could see it.
Werther considered the population of the savages and was forced to do so at first, but later he followed the idea and formulated a larger plan.
"Look at this first. When the savages from the north come over, we can't let them go to the Stepstone Islands. I'm going to put them here."
Witte took out several pieces of parchment from the small backpack he brought with him. They all had the same content on them, "Disputed Land—Land Boundary Demarcation Agreement." Everyone looked at it with half-smiling expressions.
Robert: "You want to fight again?"
Witte raised a finger: "As you know, people in Tyrosh come from all over the country, and there are also a large number of criminals, so establishing a common enemy is conducive to internal unity."
Robert looked at the picture on the agreement: "Do the other two places agree?"
"Their diplomatic ambassadors unanimously agreed! Volantis actually has no interest in the disputed land. In the past, it was only worried about the military expansion of the other three cities before sending troops. Now that we are allies, there is no such problem. Volantis is concerned about
Lorne River Basin."
Witte pointed to the city of Lys again: "The city of Lys has been allocated a Danshui River, which is enough for them to develop for a hundred years. And my Tyrosh has helped them withstand all the pressure, so naturally they deserve the best."
Land."
Another achievement in opening up territory under his own name, Robert bypassed the Imperial Council and signed the document directly. "Witt, you have to take it easy and don't provoke too many enemies. If something goes wrong, we will need one to support Tyrosh at the earliest."
Months of time."
Witte put away the agreement: "Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with it. Even if something goes wrong, it's the work of the savages. What does it have to do with me, Tyrosh? Haha."
After some final discussion, several things were achieved at this meeting:
First, in order not to cause panic, the news about the White Walkers was temporarily kept secret and not officially announced. It was only conveyed to Ed Stark, Duke of Winterfell in the North, so that he could prepare.
Second, the royal family is responsible for mining dragon crystal from Dragonstone Island and transporting it to the underground storage of Baelor's Great Temple in King's Landing. All the wildfires previously set here have been taken away by Witte and sold to the royal fleet for use. Tyrosh's wildfire production line
It should be built as soon as possible.
Third, since the treasury cannot afford the cost of making dragon crystal weapons, after it is confirmed that the White Walkers have appeared, the stored dragon crystals are given to the lords in various places to make their own weapons. Dragon crystal is only effective against White Walkers and corpses, and it is not suitable for daily use.
Iron tools are too brittle and can only be used as decorations. There is no need to worry about anyone getting a large number of dragon crystal weapons and rebelling.

Fourth, as long as the rulers of several other city-states sign and confirm the land division agreement, the seven countries will once again expand their territory. This matter will not be officially announced for the time being and will have to wait until the agreement is signed.
Fifth, send an order to Castle Black to send rangers north from the Great Wall to search for the whereabouts of the wildlings, report to King's Landing and Tyrosh in a timely manner, and publicize Tyrosh's immigration policy to the wildlings. If a large gathering place is found, Witte will ride the dragon and go north in person.
Do ideological work for these savages.
After the meeting, Robert called Renly and Werther alone to Maegor's Tower to talk.
It was still the drawing room outside Robert's palace. The three of them didn't drink this time. Robert had something to do.
"Renly, is it okay if I arrange for the five maids of the Bracken family to live at Storm's End?"
Renly smiled: "I don't have a problem. Is there something wrong with the queen?"
Robert looked depressed: "Hey, five maids, three are pregnant."
Renly and Werther looked at each other, it was Robert's style.
Werther: "Then why did you come to me?"
Robert: "Earl Janos Bracken came to me. His nephew and heir Hendry Bracken was dead and asked me to clear the name of his illegitimate son Harry Rivers. I agreed."
Then Robert told Werther what happened at the Tourney at Riverrun. Two feuding families died on one side and an heir on the other.
"This is your king's power, and then what?" Werther asked.
Robert looked at Witte's face: "Earl Bracken asked me to arrange an opportunity for Harry Bracken to make meritorious deeds. There is no such opportunity in King's Landing or Storm's End now. Only you, Tyrosh, can do it."<
/p>
Wirth: "Let him come. I, Tyrosh, will not be afraid of anyone who comes. I will even be a thief and a robber, let alone a noble. I just arranged for him to go to a controversial place."
For such a trivial matter, Robert didn't even drink. Werther looked at Robert's expression and said that he still had something to say: "If you don't tell me, I can leave!"
Robert looked at Witte: "Intelligence Minister Varys reported something to me. The son of Prince Doran of Dorne appeared in the Eastern Continent, suspected of going to find Daenerys Targaryen."
Werther's hand knocked on the armrest of the sofa: "If it is true, then Prince Doran wants to restore the Targaryen dynasty, but Doran has not sworn allegiance to Robert, you just signed an armistice agreement. In a broad sense, he
It cannot constitute treason."
Robert: "That's the problem. Doran is doing this secretly. Unless his son and Daenerys officially announce their engagement, we can't find any evidence to prove it. Even if it is proven, we can't find anything to punish Doran."
Reason. Werther, you are the son-in-law of Prince Oberon, what does he think?"
Werther thought about Oberon's changes and looked at Robert and Renly: "The only way is if Doran dies and Oberon succeeds Dorne."
Robert smiled, this was his idea, but Werther knew that Robert had no such brains at all, and someone was giving him ideas behind his back!
"Does this mean Hand of the King?"
Robert nodded.
Werther was not very familiar with Matus Rowan, so he thought about his personality and family: "Robert, it is not so easy to provoke a civil war in Dorne. As long as Doran is alive, Oberon will not usurp the throne.
Thought, he would not commit parricide."
Robert: "Dorne has never truly belonged to the Iron Throne. This is a very good opportunity. As long as Oberon inherits Dorne, your wife will be his only legitimate illegitimate daughter and the only heir of Dorne! She
The child in your belly now, whether it is a boy or a girl, will be the Duke of Dorne in the future!"
Is it an inducement? Instead of letting Robert give the order directly, he went to Werther privately as a brother to discuss the matter of Dorne. The Hand of the King was interesting, but Werther was very unhappy!
"I will talk to the Hand of the King alone some other time." Werther did not agree immediately, intending to see if he was dedicated to the country or if he had ulterior motives.
Seeing that Werther did not agree, Robert felt a little uncomfortable. Renly also found that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, and took the initiative to interject: "This concerns Werther's wife and children, so we must consider it carefully."
Robert came over and patted Werther on the shoulder: "In the past 300 years of the Seven Kingdoms, countless kings and heroes have failed to achieve their long-cherished wish to unify Dorne. Now is the best opportunity."
Werther was still sitting on the sofa and looked up at Robert: "Then have you ever thought about what if Oberon doesn't agree? Am I going to kill the Doran family and then Oberon? My wife will
Won't she leave me because of this? If she doesn't swear allegiance to the Iron Throne, will I kill Nymeria again? And then the child will regard me as a mother-killer and continue the war?"
Robert: "Hey, maybe I don't understand clearly. I'll arrange for Matus Rowan to meet with you alone tomorrow. He can explain it more clearly."
Werther and Renly went home together and looked at Werther who looked depressed. Renly had never encountered this before, so he had to ask little Rose Margaery to enlighten Werther and make Werther happy.
The next day, Werther walked to Steel Street, found a private room on the second floor of Stannis' casino, set up a mute spell and waited for the arrival of Matus Rowan, Hand of the King.
The conversation between the two was held in secret, and no one knew what was said.
As the conversation progressed, Stannis noticed that the tables and chairs in the casino began to shake, and immediately evacuated the guests, notifying Renly and the golden robes.
Audaweiying, who was resting on the Dragon's Den hill, became restless, took off and hovered over King's Landing, and even began to spit dragon fire into the air.
The air in the casino has become scorching hot, and from time to time there is a slight electric current beating on the metal decorations and wine glasses.
Renly and Captain Jon Snow of the Golden Robes came here and saw this situation, and immediately evacuated the nobles from the surrounding houses.
As the spilled magic returned to Werther's body, when Renly and Jon Snow were about to go in to collect the body for the Hand of the King, Matus Rowan walked away intact despite his pale face and unsightly expression.
Come out.
Werther came out next. After chatting with a few people at the door, he went back to Renly's house alone.
That night, second cousin Andrew Insimmon, wearing a black robe and a hood, entered Werther's house under the cover of night and threw a bunch of tattered notes to Werther.
"Is the information accurate?"
Andrew: "Half-truth and half-falsehood. It's been too long. Some of the people involved have died of old age or left King's Landing and disappeared without a trace."
Witte looked at the content on the note: "Isn't this information easy to come by?"
Andrew: "I alerted Wallis's spy during the investigation, and he later took the initiative to find me and gave me some important clues."
Werther: "Yes, but don't trust Wallis too much. He is a fat snake that can bite people to death."
Andrew: "I know this very well and will not cooperate in depth with such an insidious villain."
In the next few days, Andrew came more frequently. Matus Rowan, Hand of the King, never smiled wherever he went, and Werther never set foot in the Red Keep.
One morning and night, Witte put on the Dragon Bone Armor and flew south with Auda Weiying.
On the windowsill of Maegor's Tower in the Red Keep, Robert looked at the dragon going away. He felt like something was broken in his heart, but he couldn't figure out how to solve it.
Renly said to Little Rose and Loras beside him: "Let's go back to Storm's End. Together, you two feel like something big is going to happen."
Little Rose Margery: "Is it about the Golden Company? Werther seems to have mentioned it."
Renly: "Not only the Golden Company will be in trouble, but many people will die this time."
