Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 197 Dragon's Landing on Yingzui Island

   "Lord Caesar, Yingzui Island is ahead."

  The captain had an irresistible smile on his face, not only because he finally arrived at the destination, but also because his precious ship could finally get rid of the terrible dragon.

   While it's true that the white dragon didn't start the fire, the captain couldn't sleep soundly while he was on board.

  Samwell heard the words and came to the bow, and sure enough, he saw Yingzui Island appearing in front of him from a distance.

  Under the bright sun in the morning, it looks peaceful and beautiful.

"Sam, you finally have a decent wharf in your territory." Margaret put her hands on her eyebrows and looked around excitedly, "And there are a lot more people! Sam, how many people are there in Yingzui Island now? "

"More than 50,000 people." Samwell is actually not too sure. This is the population of Yingzui Island when he came back last time. This time he went out for more than half a year. I don't know that Qiman Huya's mad dog gave him again. How many savages have been brought in.

   "The speed is so fast!" Margaery exclaimed, "At this speed, Yingzui Island will soon be upgraded to a Viscountdom."

  Samwell shrugged: "I abducted the daughter of the Duke of Mace. It would be good if he didn't want to cut off my head, and he would promote me to viscount, haha."

  Margery smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: "Don't worry, Sam. In fact, my father is very talkative. I believe he will forgive you."

  Samwell smiled noncommittally.

  That day in Tianji City, Margaret mustered up the courage to elope with her, of course he couldn't refuse.

   However, this also brings a series of problems.

   Of course, it can also be called an opportunity.

  If he can get the Duke of Metz to admit the marriage and officially marry Margaery, it can really be said that twenty years of struggle will be saved directly.

   But if the Duke of Mace is unwilling to admit it, it will be really troublesome.

What he did in Tianzhi City has already offended the Lannister family to the death. He killed the "Red Viper" and let himself be hated by Dorne. If there is a river bend... then Samwell will directly offend half of Westeros.

Now he only hopes that after the exposure of the adulterous affair between the Queen Mother Cersei and her younger brother, it will trigger a battle for the Iron Throne, not to mention a "war of the five kings" like in the original plot, but at least there will be a three kings Let's fight.

After Joffrey's death, the Lannister family will definitely put Cersei's second son Tommen Baratheon on the Iron Throne, but the two brothers of the former king Robert Baratheon will definitely not admit it Cersei's evil seed, Stannis and Renly should be kings and rebel as in the original book, so there will be three kings.

The Duke of Ed Stark is not dead, his son Robb Stark will definitely not be king as in the original plot, and Ed is unlikely to be king himself, but should support Stannis Barra theon.

   There is also Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. In the original book, this person also took advantage of the situation to become king. Now this situation is uncertain. But as long as the continent of Westeros is chaotic enough, this old squid will definitely not be able to bear the loneliness.

  So, this time, it is estimated that there will be a "three kings" or "four kings" battle.

  In this way, the Lannister family should not be able to take revenge on him, a little baron.

   Taking advantage of this time, Samwell felt that he could steal a wave of development.

  Of course, if he can get the approval of High Court and formally marry Margaery Tyrell, then the situation could not be better. Even if the old lion is free to clean up himself in the future, he will not panic.

   However, it will not be easy.

  It may be difficult for an inflatable fish to be willing to marry his only daughter to a little baron.

  Samwell is going to test the attitude of the Tyrell family first...

   While thinking, the fleet slowly sailed into the Wharf of Yingzui Island.

   A group of people have gathered on the pier to greet them.

  Samwell got off the boat with Margaery, but he was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

  My own steward Gavin and the knight Todd Flowers stood at the front of the team, with a smile on their faces, but there was a hint of worry hidden in their eyes.

  Beside them, Brother Ivan was still standing.

  This servant of the Seven Gods has a soft and compassionate smile on his face, like the incarnation of the Heavenly Father.

   But when he saw the creature hanging on Samwell's shoulder, his smile immediately turned into shock of disbelief.

"dragon?"

  Ivan heard a low exclamation from Todd Knight beside him.

impossible!

  Friar refuses to admit.

  The dragon is long dead!

  However, as Samwell got closer, they saw it more clearly.

   That's really a dragon!

The milky white scales shone brilliantly in the sun, the translucent wings spread out, stirring up bursts of misty smoke in the air, the slender and winding tail wrapped around Samwell's arm, and a pair of bright red eyes Staring at people, as if you can see into their souls.

   "It's a dragon..." Ivan muttered to himself, with complicated emotions.

   "It's a dragon!" Todd Fohua no longer had any doubts, he strode forward and knelt down, put the long sword in front of him, and pressed his face tightly to the ground, "Congratulations, Lord Caesar!"

   This has exceeded the etiquette requirements that a vassal should have for a lord.

"Welcome to Lord Caesar!" Gavin also shouted excitedly, the worries and melancholy in his heart were completely swept away. He also imitated Todd Buddha's appearance, prostrated himself on the ground, and greeted the Lord's return with the most humble attitude .

   "Welcome to Lord Caesar!"

   One after another, the retainers also prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting loudly.

   This wave continued to spread outward, and the crowd was like a wheat field swept by a strong wind, and they all fell for Caesar's return.

  Cleopatra neighed, and a breath of sulfur smelled from her mouth. She spread her translucent wings, took off from Samwell's shoulders, circled and soared above the crowd.

   More and more people knelt down, and after a while, the entire Yingzui Islet was prostrate at Caesar's feet.

   Even Friar Ivan.

  Under the threat of Bailong, even this servant of the Seven Gods did not dare to act presumptuously.

   Brother Ivan suddenly began to worry about whether his previous attempts to get involved in the jurisdiction of the territory were a bit too aggressive...

   But at this moment, he could only prostrate on the ground with everyone, silently chanting prayers.

  …

  After a grand welcoming ceremony, Samwell returned to his castle surrounded by everyone.

  Cleopatra danced excitedly in the castle hall, neighing.

   Frightened by Bailong's power, the vassals and retainers who followed in all held their breaths and concentrated, quite trembling.

  They haven't recovered from this amazing reality, and they can't understand why their lord went to Dorne and brought back a dragon.

   Brother Ivan secretly guessed Samwell's true identity, a descendant of the Targaryen family? Valyrian survivors? Or the remnants of the Black Flame?

   But no matter what, this is the first time that a dragon has soared over the continent of Westeros for the first time in hundreds of years.

  From today, Caesar is destined to become an extraordinary name.

   "I've been out for so long, nothing happened in the territory, right?" Samwell sat down on the lord's seat and asked with a smile.

  Cleopatra seemed to have had enough fun, landed on Samwell's shoulder again, and scratched his chin with her slender tail.

   Gavin hesitated for a moment, then said:

   "My lord, there is a murder case... I don't know how to deal with it, so I temporarily put it on hold. Now that you are back, please judge it yourself."

  Samwell was a little surprised, but still nodded and said: "Okay, bring the person here."

   "Yes, my lord."

  One of the parties involved, Gong Ga, was himself a retainer of Caesar. He was in the hall at the moment, and he knelt down tremblingly when he heard the words.

  The victim's sister, Timett, was quickly brought in.

"My lord, due to the complexity of the case and the fact that both sides have their own opinions, it is really difficult for us to make a verdict, so we put it on hold until now." Gavin glanced at Brother Ivan, and added, "Brother Ivan suggested forming a jury of seven people. Regiment, come to judge."

   "A jury of seven?" Samwell snorted softly.

  The jury of seven is the trial procedure of the Church of the Seven Gods.

  At the beginning of the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, the Church of the Seven Gods was very powerful. They not only had the armed forces of the church, but also had the right to judge.

   Of course the Targaryen family could not tolerate the church having such power, so the "cruel" Maegor I banned the church's armed forces, and the "arbiter" Jaehaerys I forced the church to hand over its judicial power.

  Since then, the power of the Church of the Seven Gods has been greatly reduced, and it has basically become a tool used by the Iron Throne to unify beliefs.

   Unexpectedly, this Ivan actually planned to revive the seven-person jury system in Yingzui Island.

   "Yes." Samwell smiled, "As a knight of the Seven Gods, I agree with this suggestion."

  Everyone was taken aback, even Brother Ivan himself was stunned, apparently he didn't expect Samwell to agree to his proposal.

  But before he was happy, Samwell said again:

   "Timett, are you a virgin?"

  Timet was stunned for a moment, but she was not shy and shy, and immediately nodded: "Yes, my lord."

   "Okay, then you will represent the 'girl'."

   Brother Ivan suddenly had a bad feeling.

  Timet is the victim's own sister, how could she be a member of the jury?

   Moreover, the members of the seven-member jury have always been appointed by the church-at least until Jaehaerys I "The Arbiter".

  But at this moment, Ivan found that he didn't have the guts to speak out against the lord, the lord who owned a dragon.

  Samwell looked at Oona, the wife of Gavin, the head of the territory again:

   "Ms. Oona, I remember that you just gave birth to a boy, and it is very appropriate for you to represent the 'Holy Mother'."

   "Yes, my lord."

   "Brother Ivan." Samwell looked at the lantern necklace on Brother Ivan's chest with a smile, and said, "I remember that you dedicated yourself to the 'Old Woman', so you can represent him."

   "My lord, thank you for your trust, but the representative of the 'old woman' in the seven-member jury has always been a woman..."

   "That's good." Samwell turned his head bluntly, "Ms. Melisandre, I will trouble you."

   "It's my honor." Melisandre saluted gracefully.

   He didn't care at all that he was not a believer of the Seven Gods at all.

  Ivan immediately realized that he had been duped. Just now Samwell wanted him to refuse on purpose. With this rejection, the seven-member jury has nothing to do with him at all.

   And he still can't accuse the other party of deliberately excluding him, after all, Samwell initiated the invitation...

   "Sir Lucas Dayne, please represent 'Warrior'."

   "Yes, my lord."

   "Blacksmith Buso, please represent 'Blacksmith'."

   "At your service, my lord."

   "Gavin, you represent 'Father'."

   "Yes, my lord."

   "As the lord, I will personally execute the sinners, so today, I am the spokesperson of 'The Stranger' in the world."

   After finishing speaking, Samwell's majestic gaze slowly swept across the audience, and finally stopped on Brother Ivan's face:

   "Now I declare, the trial begins!"
