Start with the Lord of the Rings

King's Landing, Red Fort.

A spacious meeting room with luxurious and solemn decoration.

The former Prime Minister, Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, sat on the main seat of the conference table.

beside and in front of him.

Then sat the Minister of Justice "Renly Baratheon" (Renly Baratheon: King Robert Baratheon's youngest brother, Duke of Storm's End);

Chancellor of the Exchequer "Littlefinger" Tyr Baelish;

Grand Scholars Pychel;

As well as intelligence chief Varys.

Since King Robert Baratheon invited his friend Eddard Stark from Winterfell in the north to serve as the Prime Minister of the Royal Palace, it seems that he has found the backbone, returning to his former days of drinking and playing with women every day.

So far, I have never attended a royal meeting.

There is also Stannis Baratheon (Stannis Baratheon: King Robert Baratheon's second younger brother, Duke of Dragonstone) who should be present at the Royal Council.

Because after the death of the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn, he left King's Landing and went to Dragonstone Island and has not yet returned.

As for the last Kings Guard Captain Barristan Selmi who was eligible to appear in the Imperial Conference, he was busy with the upcoming tournament and didn't have time to attend the conference.

At this time, in the conference room.

In addition to the above five powerful ministers in charge of the entire kingdom.

There was also a tall middle-aged warrior in full armor standing in front of the five ministers.

"The tournament will start tomorrow."

"Are those city guards in King's Landing ready?"

Eddard Stark raised his head and asked the middle-aged warrior in front of him.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, we are basically ready, but with the continuous influx of people into the city every day, our escort strength is somewhat insufficient."

"Just last night, there was a serious brawl in a pub, a brothel caught fire, two people died in a brothel due to problems with whoring, and there was a drunken horse racing incident."

"These are all caused by insufficient escort strength"

The middle-aged city guard commander replied.

"The problem of insufficient guard strength is such a serious problem. You should have raised it a long time ago, instead of waiting until now."

Eddard Stark frowned immediately, looked at the middle-aged city guard commander and said solemnly, "I don't care whether you recruit or hire yourself, in short, mistakes are not allowed during the upcoming competition. , or I will hold you accountable."

"Now, tell me if I can do it, and if I can't do it, then I'll replace it with someone else?"

Eddard Stark said solemnly.

How important is the City Guard, such a problem was only reported temporarily.

He utterly dislikes this kind of vegetarian food.

This city guard commander is very problematic.

The commander of the city guards, who had been severely reprimanded by the new Prime Minister, quickly wiped away in cold sweat and left.

Eddard Stark looked at the scroll in front of him, which recorded a series of expenses and problems due to the tournament, and his face was not very good.

"The sooner the tournament ends, the better."

Eddard Stark sighed, leaning back on the bench, reaching out and rubbing his tired face.

Since he came to King's Landing, he has taken the position of the former Prime Minister.

He found that there were too many problems in King's Landing.

At this time, a minister answered: "But it is the holding of such competitions that can demonstrate the strength of the kingdom, my lord."

"People at the top take this opportunity to compete for glory, and people at the bottom can take this opportunity to forget their sorrows."

"Yes."

"All the pubs and hotels in King's Landing are full."

"Prostitutes can also pick up customers and get their legs closed"

"Such a prosperous King's Landing is believed to be what everyone wants to see"

King's Landing, the noble district.

Stark family castle.

In the small garden on the second floor.

Two figures, one tall and one short, are practicing against each other.

"Bang bang bang bang."

The sound of gold and iron crashing continued.

Arya Stark is holding a sharp "sewing needle" stabbing sword and is constantly attacking the teacher in front of her.

Morgan also held an iron sword and waved his hand to resist the fierce attack of student Arya Stark.

One attacked with all his strength, and the other resisted with all his might.

The continuous offensive between Arya Stark and teacher Morgan continued for nearly half an hour.

In the end, when Arya, who was sweating profusely, began to gasp for breath, teacher Morgan finally revealed a flaw. Arya was quick-witted and slashed with a sword, severing a corner of the teacher's robe.

"Ah, teacher, you lost!"

Looking at the small piece of clothing that fell to the ground, Arya Stark exclaimed with great excitement.

How long.

Ever since his father Eddard Stark agreed to let Teacher Morgan teach him swordsmanship.

Arya Stark has been looking forward to this day.

Because the teacher said that when she can hurt the teacher, even if it is only the corner of the teacher's clothes, it is considered that Arya has passed the training and has reached the standard of apprenticeship.

Although Arya already thinks her swordsmanship is pretty good.

However, he has never been able to hurt the teacher before this, even if it hurts the teacher to deliberately wear a large cloak robe.

Now, she finally did it.

Looking at the excited color on the young face in front of him.

Morgan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Arya could hurt the corner of his shirt, of course he did it on purpose.

Tomorrow is the tournament.

There are many things to come, and his leisure days in the Stark family castle have almost entered the countdown.

He is not a retainer of the Stark family, but is only employed by the Stark family.

Although Mrs. Stark Catelyn Tully wanted to invite Morgan to join the Stark family more than once.

Morgan just smiled and shook his head.

Even a month ago, when Catelyn Tully temporarily came to King's Landing Morgan to send her away, the other party mentioned the retainer again.

Morgan still shook his head.

He never thought about which family or which power he would depend on in this world.

He was hired with the Stark family just for a pedal, an opportunity.

Now, the best opportunity, "The Tournament", has come.

As long as he can swept the entire competition this time, he will become the winning first place in the three competitions of "horse spear competition", "group competition" and "archery competition".

Become the first person in the entire world, not just in Westeros.

At that time, he will immediately jump out of the limitations and limitations of the Stark family's swordsmanship and come out of the circle.

From then on, "the sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly."

And before that.

Morgan needs to organize his student Arya Stark's studies.

In fact, if you really want the standard of massage, Arya's strength is definitely far from the time to be a teacher.

But Arya's identity is different, and the current situation is different.

Morgan agreed to Arya's apprenticeship.

However, even if Arya left the apprenticeship ahead of schedule, based on Morgan's understanding of the strength of ordinary warriors in this world, it was the elite guards around the castle who followed Eddard Stark to King's Landing.

There are four or five escort warriors, and they are definitely not Arya's opponents.

It was to find Arya's illegitimate brother, Jon Snow.

Arya can also fight the opponent.

Actually speaking.

Arya Stark in front of her was considered to be the most talented student Morgan had met over the years.

Arya has an active personality and a flexible mind.

This also makes her sword stance perfectly inherited: fast, agile, cunning and agile.

Plus the world doesn't care.

Morgan has especially taught the footsteps to move and move.

With Arya's current strength, even if something happens, one person is enough to protect himself.

But Arya also has a big flaw.

That is, she is too young, and her physical strength is weaker than that of ordinary warriors, which makes her unable to continue fighting for a long time.

But this is also impossible.

Morgan reminded, presumably Arya knew it herself.

"good."

"Teacher's words count, you've already graduated."

Looking at Arya who looked happy and joyful in front of her, Morgan smiled and said, "From tomorrow onwards, I won't teach you any more, and you won't have to get up at dawn to practice."

"However, you can be lazy occasionally."

"But never relax."

"Once you relax, your swordsmanship will not advance but retreat."

"You have to remember."

Morgan looked at the student in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Arya saw the teacher's serious face, and the joy on her face also restrained a little, and said obediently: "I see, teacher."

Morgan nodded: "Well, that's it."

waved.

Arya immediately ran away with the needle in her hands as if relieved and happy.

Morgan turned and walked to the pavilion on the side, staring at the warm glow of light rising from the east.

Early the next morning.

It's not yet light.

The entire city of King's Landing has already awakened from the noise and agitation.

In times of scarcity of entertainment.

Every large-scale event will cause a sensation.

This grand competition will be a carnival for all the residents of King's Landing.

And this carnival is made up of booze, prostitutes, and most importantly, gambling.

When Morgan opened his eyes.

It was already dawn outside the window.

Today's dawn is different than usual.

There were constant voices coming from below the castle.

The grand atmosphere of the tournament affects everyone in Jun's Landing at this time.

The people in the Stark family castle are naturally no exception.

Arya Stark woke up early in the morning like a wild child, running around the castle.

Sansa Stark is also looking forward to the competition in King's Landing. The most important thing is that today, she can see the prince's fiance, Joffrey, whom she has not seen for more than a month, which makes her sleepless.

But she is a lady, and even if she has woken up, she does not want to get up early like her sister Arya.

The former Prime Minister Eddard Stark rarely slept in the castle yesterday.

When I came to the restaurant on the second floor early to sit down, I looked at the happy little daughter Arya and said, "Go, invite your teacher, I have something to tell him."

Arya, who heard her father's order, immediately got up and ran to the first floor.

When Morgan walked into the restaurant on the second floor.

I saw that Eddard Stark, Arya and Sansa Stark were eating, and the female officer who taught the two Miss Stark at all times was also there.

But other than that, no one else.

"Morgan is here, sit down"

"grown ups."

Morgan said hello and sat down.

He knew in his heart what Eddard Stark had asked him to dine with.

It must be an account of some things about the tournament.

It just so happened that he also wanted to ask about the details of the tournament.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Eddard Stark, who was beside him, started talking about the tournament.

At this time, the maid on the side brought Morgan a hearty breakfast.

Morgan was eating breakfast.

While listening to the personal instructions of the former Prime Minister.

between processes.

Morgan also asked some questions from time to time, and they all received detailed answers from Eddard Stark.

After half an hour.

A large group stepped out of the castle gate.

Eddard Stark rode ahead.

Morgan and Guard Captain Kelsen flanked him.

Behind the three is an exquisite carriage pulled by horses.

Inside the carriage sat Arya and Sansa Stark, the two Stark family misses, as well as the middle-aged female official of the castle.

There are guards on both sides and behind the carriage.

The convoy headed straight for the Royal Garden located to the east of the "Red Fort" of the Royal Palace.

The most important competition in the competition, the most exciting "horse spear competition" competition system, because of the need to ride horses, so simply arrange the entire competition in the soft ground garden.

The previous large-scale competitions were also held in the Royal Garden.

This is also the only opportunity for ordinary civilians in Jun's Landing to visit the Royal Garden.

The Stark family on their way to the Royal Gardens.

I also saw a large number of groups of ordinary people who were talking to each other, and their faces were full of joy, and they were also marching towards the royal garden.

Nobles can't be offended.

Especially the powerful nobles with groups of escort convoys.

The Stark family caravan made its way through the crowded avenues.

When Morgan followed to the royal gardens with neat trees and beautiful lawns and lawns.

It was found that there were already crowds of onlookers around the competition venue where the competition was held.

The best viewing position around the site naturally belongs to the king and queen, where a huge tower has been built.

The equally good positions on both sides of the tower belong to a group of powerful ministers and nobles.

Because Morgan was going to participate in the competition, he and Eddard Stark and the others quickly separated after arriving at the conference venue.

"Lord Morgan, come on!"

"Teacher, we will cheer you up"

Arya Stark and several guard captains waved goodbye to Morgan.

Morgan smiled and waved.

Then he strode towards the center of the arena.

The competition level announced by the king is not low.

Those who have not reached the title of knight can not participate, no matter how strong you are.

Of course, if you have a nobility or a big man behind your back, then there is no such restriction.

That's what Morgan is now.

Arriving at the competition system center, under the guidance of the official special person, Morgan quickly got into the tent and changed his mail.

A good and good full-body armor can protect the body of the contestants, even if they fail, they will not die.

However, the entrant's armor and horse are the responsibility of the entrant.

Once the test is lost, both the armor and the horse will belong to the winner.

The price of armor and horses is not low, especially the armor, which is definitely a big burden for some contestants who are not rich.

When Morgan appeared in front of the participating knights wearing a dark red, delicate, majestic and domineering dragon scale armor, it immediately attracted the attention of many knights.

"Who is that guy?"

"do not know"

"But his armor is so pretty"

"I haven't seen that guy before, maybe it's new from somewhere else"

"A newcomer, someone who can wear that armor must be rich."

"I don't know who will be lucky to meet that guy"

"Good luck? You're sure you can beat him."

"Isn't there still few bumpkins from other places who come to King's Landing and want to show off?"

"They just came to give us money and horses"

"Listen, start registering names."

Ignore the gazes and comments of other knight competitors around.

Morgan calmly swept the audience, but did not find any familiar faces.

Even the hound Sandor Clegane and the "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister, who made the biggest noise this time, didn't even see it.

At this time, just as Morgan was about to withdraw his gaze, he saw Sandor Clegane, a hunting dog in black armor, and James Lannister, a majestic and beautiful armor in pale gold, walking towards this side on horseback.

The two walked and chatted, as if talking about something.

Morgan retracted his gaze, looked at the old man who was standing in front of the knight contestants, holding the list of confrontation scrolls, cleared his throat and began to read.

"Right now the spear competition system."

"first round."

"Sir Stella v Sir Bartlett"

"Sir Hubbard vs."

"Morgan vs. Sir Hugh."
