Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 28 Goldfinger’s reaction

"Is it just these things?" Linde frowned as he looked at the goods in front of him.

The goods that Lind discovered were only some valuable items such as tea, silk, and ceramics from the Far East. Although these items were indeed valuable, they would not make Littlefinger make a special trip to King's Landing, or even find them specially. Janos Slynt comes to give the shipment extra protection.

"Did he deliberately use this batch of goods as bait to attract the attention of interested people? In fact, the contraband he valued was placed elsewhere?" Linde, who felt something was wrong, made an association in his mind and carefully sensed the surroundings. There is movement, because if this cargo is bait, then there must be a trap accompanying the bait, and it is also a deadly trap.

However, no matter how he sensed, he found nothing unusual inside or outside the warehouse, and the guards patrolling around the warehouse did not do anything unusual. The only ones who made him feel uncomfortable in the entire warehouse were the drunk guards. The sound of snoring.

"It seems that I guessed wrong." Linde, who felt that he was a little overly cautious, laughed to himself, looked at the goods in front of him, and immediately realized the reason for his wrong judgment.

Although it is impossible for people like Littlefinger to take the risk of coming to King's Landing from the valley based on the value of this batch of goods, especially in this chaotic period, this does not mean that this batch of goods is not valuable. In fact, if this batch of goods is in If King's Landing takes action, tens of thousands of golden dragons shouldn't be a problem.

If Littlefinger serves as the Finance Minister of the Iron Throne more than ten years later, he may be qualified to use tens of thousands of gold dragons as bait, but now Littlefinger, who is just a tax collector in a port city, is obviously not qualified to do such a generous thing. Therefore, this batch of goods should not be bait, but the smuggled goods that made Littlefinger come to King's Landing specifically should be hidden in this batch of goods.

After thinking about this, Linde carefully checked the situation of the goods again. This time, he did not look at them casually, but carefully checked every bag and box.

Soon, he discovered something was wrong with several boxes containing silk. These boxes were obviously the same size as the other boxes, but their weight was much heavier. There was no doubt that the goods in these boxes were definitely not just silk.

Although these boxes were locked, this primitive lock was a bit too simple for Linde. As early as when he was in Bai Village, he had thought that he would encounter a similar situation, so he retrained his unlocking skills in his previous life. skills in case you need them.

I saw that he was well prepared and took out two iron pieces of different shapes and inserted them into different positions of the keyhole. Then he felt the position of the lock pin by moving the iron piece back and forth, and adjusted the iron piece little by little. Soon the lock of a box was opened by him.

Linde carefully removed the lock, set it aside, and then slowly opened the lid of the box to avoid making too much noise.

After the box was successfully opened, Linde looked inside the box and saw rolls of silk neatly placed inside the box. It looked like he had made a mistake in judgment, but he did not show any disappointed expression on his face.

He carefully took out the silks and put them aside. Soon all the silks in the box were taken out. He then gently tapped the bottom of the box. After hearing the feedback sound, his face showed smiled.

Then, he looked around on the bottom of the box and found a hidden buckle. Then he saw him insert his fingers into the hidden buckle and lift up the entire bottom of the box.

I saw that there was a compartment on the bottom of the box. The compartment was filled with weeds for buffering. Some very ancient copper, silver and goldware were placed in the weed pile.

"Is this the contraband that Littlefinger valued?" Seeing these things, Linde had some doubts in his heart. He really couldn't see how much this thing was worth, but he didn't make any judgments because he knew very well that it would hinder him. Without knowledge and vision, it is impossible to correctly judge the value of such items.

With doubts, Lind re-covered the partition and put the silk roll back as it was. Everything was restored to its original state. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he opened several other boxes that felt the weight was wrong. It wasn't until he opened the fourth box and saw the secretly stored items inside that he realized what the smuggled items were.

I saw that the fourth box only contained two items, one was a cracked dragon egg, and the other was an exquisite dagger.

When he saw these two items, what Linde first paid attention to was not the cracked dragon egg with the scaly shell, but the exquisite dagger, because from the dagger's extremely eye-catching special bone handle and The main body is made of steel. Linde can almost tell that this dagger is a Valyrian steel dagger with a keel handle, and this dagger is also very likely to be the trigger for the War of the Five Kings more than ten years later. .

"Has this dagger been obtained by Littlefinger so early?" Linde felt a little confused and curious, so he wanted to take the dagger out of the box and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.

However, when his hand touched the keel handle of the dagger, an obvious burning sensation spread from his fingers and spread throughout his body.

At this moment, this mysterious burning sensation is not what Linde is most concerned about. What he is concerned about is that the energy bar under the Peace Messenger, which has gone more than three-quarters of the way, is actually under the influence of this burning sensation. It flickers on and off like a breathing light.

The sudden change made Linde a little overwhelmed, but he quickly calmed down and carefully checked what changes the burning sensation caused by the dragon bone dagger had brought to his golden finger's energy bar.

But after careful inspection, he was a little disappointed, because apart from making the energy bar flash, the burning sensation didn't cause any other reaction, and it didn't even make the energy bar move forward.

Even so, Linde didn't think that the effect of the dragon bone on the golden finger in the body was that simple. He felt that he just didn't notice it.

Thinking of this, Linde put his hand on the cracked dragon egg again. This time the burning sensation did not appear, but a chill like ice and snow passed from the touch point to his hand.

This chill did not spread throughout his body like the previous burning sensation, nor did it cause any abnormality in Gold Finger. Instead, it passed through his body like a stream, gathered in his chest, and then poured into the cloth pocket on his chest. In the body of Guangrong, the sleeping Guangrong seemed to sense the coldness, moved slightly, and continued to sleep.

Although Linde conducted some training on Glory to weaken his wildness, he didn’t know whether it was because the training time was too short or because his training methods were wrong. In short, Glory’s wildness not only did not weaken, but actually became stronger. In addition to expressing to him If you don't get close and obey his orders, he will attack anyone who comes even slightly closer.

And as the body grows, Glory's teeth become better and better. Not only can it bite the ropes that bind it, but it can even bite the wooden sticks of the cage. So in order to avoid accidents, Linde I always carry my glory with me, and this time is no exception.

Fortunately, Glory was very obedient. When Lind ordered it not to move, it really didn't move. Even if it was asleep, it wouldn't make any unusual noises and wouldn't cause any trouble to Lind.

However, what Linde didn't expect was that bringing Glory with him this time would lead to unexpected gains.

He didn't know what the effect of Glory's absorption of the chill would be, and what changes it would produce, but he knew very well that the cracked dragon egg had transformed with the loss of the chill. The most obvious change was the shell of the dragon egg. The pattern of the scales became dull and looked a bit like stone, which was far less eye-catching than it looked just now.

"Could the rumors about the albino shadow lynx be true?" This made Linde have some thoughts. He thought that the chill could be the remaining dragon soul in the dragon egg, and the chill was called the glory lynx. The absorption seemed to be consistent with the previous statement about the albino shadow lynx devouring souls. This coincidence made it difficult for him not to associate it.

However, now was not a good time to study whether there had been a change in Glory. He re-covered the partition of the box without taking the Valyrian steel dagger with a dragon bone handle. After all, the dagger was too eye-catching. Now take it. It will cause unnecessary trouble, especially the attention of the little finger, which will definitely do more harm than good.

As for the dragon eggs, although there were changes, they could not be seen. As for the other antiques from the Valyrian period, Lind did not move them. Instead, he placed them all as they were, and quietly left the warehouse from the original route. The whole process was silent. It was silent and didn't alert anyone.

After leaving the warehouse, Linde wanted to check whether there was any problem with Glory's body as soon as possible. He did not stop on the road, but walked along the slums along the city wall towards the Lion Gate.

Although it is closer to go directly through the competition venue, it is already crowded with people. The refugees and poor people from the surrounding slums also gathered there to watch the fun. On the contrary, the slums where these people live have fewer people. It's a little dirty, but it saves a lot of time.

When Lind arrived at the exit of the slum road outside the Lion's Gate, and was about to turn towards the Tyrell family camp at Lion's Hill, he saw that the door of the Lion's Gate was slightly opened through a gap, followed by several people. Lannister soldiers wearing brown and red iron armor carried a man out of the door.

After all, the Lannister family runs a gold mine, and the equipment and weapons their family equips their soldiers far exceeds that of other families.

In other noble families, including his Tyrell family, most of the soldiers at the lowest level prepare their own equipment and weapons. Only special formations, such as Linde's newly formed ten-man cavalry team, can get the armor and weapons specially prepared by the Tyrell family. .

The Tyrell family is slightly better and can prepare a few pieces of clothing, but other families not only need to prepare their own weapons and equipment, but even food.

Compared with these noble families, the financial investment of the Lannister family in the direct army is staggering. Their family provides leather armor, iron armor and steel armor according to the affiliation of the direct army. The weapons are all equipped with iron heads. Spears, sharp iron swords, etc., all the equipment are paid for by the Lannister family, so the army directly under the Lannister family looks more formal than the armies of other families.

It is precisely because of having such a powerful army that even though King Robert Baratheon and Hand of the King Jon Arryn dislike the Lannister family very much, they have to choose to marry the Lannister family.

At present, two Lannister soldiers wearing iron armor risked violating the city gate restrictions and asked the city guard guarding the city gate to open the city gate and then carry a person out. This made Linde couldn't help but be curious about this person. Who is it?

You must know that in the Lannister family, only the guard soldiers who are directly members of the family are eligible to wear iron armor. In other words, these two soldiers are from the command of Jaime Lannister and Tyrell Lannister. As for The reason why there is no Kevan Lannister is because Lord Tywin's brother is currently in Casterly Rock and has not come to King's Landing.

Although the torch outside the Lion's Gate was not very bright, Lind's extraordinary vision could still tell that the person carried by the two Lannister soldiers was a girl, a naked girl.

The two men were seen carrying the girl to a garbage dump not far from the Lion Gate. They threw the girl directly into the garbage pile, muttered a few times, and turned around and left.

The girl who was thrown into the garbage did not move. Even when she fell onto the garbage, her body did not make any protective stress response. She looked as if she was dead.

After the Lannister soldiers left, some people from the surrounding slums gathered around the garbage dump. They seemed to be interested in the corpse. You must know that corpses can be sold for a lot in Flea Bottom in King's Landing. Money.

Lynd was not interested in why the Lannister soldiers threw a girl's body outside the city, so he did not get close and was about to leave.

But when he turned around, he saw the palm of the corpse moving. It seemed that the girl was still alive. People in the slums also saw this scene, but they didn't seem to intend to let the girl continue to live. Someone picked up a stone on the ground and was about to hit the girl on the head, causing the girl to die completely.

If the girl had died, Lind might not have cared about how the body was disposed of in the end, but now that the girl was still alive, the basic morality of his previous life prevented him from turning a blind eye.

And more importantly, as Peacemaker's combat experience is fully integrated into himself, he feels that his character has become increasingly indifferent, especially when it comes to dealing with life. The only way to solve this side effect is to use thoughts and ideas from previous lives. Personality to dilute the change in mentality after the fusion, so saving this girl is also good for him.

Almost as soon as he decided to save the girl, Linde quickly rushed towards the civilians with evil intentions, and before one of the civilians hit the girl with a stone in his hand, he punched them several times. Knocked to the ground.

Then, he ignored the fainted poor people, but looked at the scarred girl, hesitated a little, picked her up, and walked towards the Tyrell family's camp.
