"What? What did you say? There are dragons in Pentos? Live dragons? Two Targaryens there?"
Robert Baratheon's angry roar echoed through the rooms of the Red Keep.
Although it was already late at night, under normal circumstances, this king who was addicted to wine and sex should have been drunk, then did some exercises that were beneficial to physical and mental health with one or several women, and then lay comfortably in bed and slept until noon the next day.
But now, not only was he not sleepy at all, but he was even sober. He was staring with bloodshot eyes, looking like an angry lion.
I can't help but be angry! You know, in this world, the person who hates and worries about the restoration of the Targaryen family the most must be Robert Baratheon.
Because he was a usurper! He was the culprit who personally ended the other party's nearly three hundred years of rule!
If the Targaryens come back one day, the first targets of revenge will definitely be him and the Baratheons.
Even the Lannister family, who were the last to stand up and do the "dirty work" back then, had to stand at the back.
You know, over the years, Robert has never stopped sending people to assassinate Daenerys and Viserys, just to completely eradicate the hidden dangers.
But who could have imagined that two children who had lost their parents and the protection of their retainers would have such tenacious vitality.
Instead of being killed by the endless stream of assassins, he took root in Pentos and even had a dragon!
Although according to the information obtained now, the hatched dragon should belong to Governor Illyrio, not the Targaryen brothers and sisters.
But that was the dragon that swept across Westeros almost three hundred years ago! If the Mad King still had dragons, Robert was not sure if he had the courage to stand up and launch a rebellion to overthrow the rule of the Targaryen family.
Because no matter how strong he was or how heavy the hammer he swung, he could not kill the giant dragon soaring in the sky, nor could he resist the scorching flames spewing from the dragon's mouth.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, things are not as bad as you think.
In fact, the current situation of both Daenerys and Viserys is not good.
The former was given to a wizard as a plaything, and the latter became Illyrio's male favorite, which could even be said to be a joke.
As the last male heir of the Targaryen family, Viserys has actually lost the possibility of returning to the Iron Throne.
No noble in the Seven Kingdoms would submit to a king who once sold his ass, even if he had Targaryen blood.
As for Governor Illyrio, who has obtained three dragon hatchlings, the first thing he has to face is other free trade cities, not the continent of Westeros.
Don't forget, Pentos and Braavos are old enemies.
The latter happened to have the most powerful fleet and the richest bank.
If they start fighting, it won't be easy to decide the winner."
Varys, the chief of intelligence, carefully calmed the king's temper.
He still couldn't believe it. How could everything he had arranged suddenly turn out like this?
Especially the simultaneous appearance of dragons, magic, wizards, and new gods in Pentos, as well as the sudden interest of "old friend" Illyrio in men, made this "Octospider" have some bad premonitions.
Because no matter who it is, after getting a living dragon, his ambition will inevitably expand rapidly, and he will have the idea of emulating the Conqueror Aegon and attacking the continent of Westeros.
The nobles on the continent of Westeros who originally supported the restoration of the Targaryen family will also shift their attention away from Daenerys and Viserys and turn their attention to those who own dragons.
This means that the Mad King's children are no longer of any value to be exploited, and cannot bring even the slightest benefit. Naturally, no one will be willing to continue to support them or provide help secretly.
If it were someone else, they would definitely abandon the brother and sister without hesitation after realizing this.
But the problem is that Varys' greatest wish and goal is to welcome back the Mad King's offspring and make the Targaryen family the masters of this continent again.
Robert obviously didn't know that his intelligence chief was actually a die-hard Long family member. He angrily overturned the table and kicked over the chair, venting his inner anxiety and fear like a madman. After a full minute, he stopped panting and said in a stern voice: "No matter what method you use or what price you pay, get rid of those two evil bastards as soon as possible.
As long as they are alive, I will never feel at ease.
Also, the dragons and the wizards who hatched them were dealt with.
The world doesn't need living dragons!
There is no need for wizards and magic!"
"Understood! I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Varys bowed his head humbly in obedience.
He understood that the usurper was angry at the moment, so the best response was to agree to whatever the other party said.
Anyway, with Robert's personality, it won't be long before he forgets about it and indulges himself in women and wine again.
What's more, there are already undercurrents in King's Landing. The huge crisis that has been brewing for a long time will soon erupt completely with Ned Stark becoming Prime Minister.
The first person to die then will be Robert Baratheon.
"Remember! Move fast!"
Robert gave another serious warning before turning around and leaving the room angrily, planning to have a couple more drinks, using the numbness of alcohol to finally forget all these troubles.
As soon as he left, Petyr Baelish, who had been silent just now, immediately spoke up and asked tentatively: "I think the changes in Pentos must have worried you a lot, right?"
"Oh? Why should I worry about a city across the ocean?"
The octopus spider pretended to be confused.
Since both of them were members of the Imperial Council and had already conducted several rounds of probing and contesting in private, they knew very well that the other party was far from being as simple as they appeared.
Just the opposite!
Compared to the nobles who always stand at the center of the stage, they are the truly dangerous and deadly masterminds behind the scenes.
"As far as I know, Illyrio, the Magister of Pentos, was once your friend, correct?" Petyr Baelish asked meaningfully.
"Ah! If this is what you mean, you don't have to worry. Because we haven't been in contact for many years. No matter what he does, it has nothing to do with me." Varys solemnly assured.
But Petyr Baelish obviously didn't believe a word of this, and said with a smile: "You are always so careful, my dear friend. But in fact, there is no need to be so. Because to some extent, our goals are the same, aren't they?"
Varys's expression changed slightly, and he immediately denied it: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"No! You know! And you know almost as much as I do. For example, the mysterious death of the former Prime Minister, Lord Arryn, the little secrets between the queen and her brother, and the princes and princesses who have nothing in common with the king."
In order to find out the true thoughts in the heart of "Octospider", Petyr Baelish did not hesitate to pierce the veil between the two.
"So? What exactly do you want to say?" Varys asked calmly.
Petyr Baelish closed the door gently and said in a slightly playful tone: "I want to know, who do you serve?
If your allegiance is to the King, then you should not hide from him the true cause of the former Prime Minister's death.
Even more should not the affair between the queen and her brother, and the bloodlines of those princes and princesses, be concealed.
If you serve the Queen, you should not be helping Lord Robert hide his countless bastards.
So I've always been curious, could it be that your true loyalty is to the Mad King who has been overthrown and killed, and his last son and daughter?
Or were those siblings just one of your unsuccessful investments?
Also, how do you feel now that magic, wizards, dragons, and new gods, the mysterious forces that you hate and dislike the most, have begun to revive? "
As these words came out of his mouth, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the dark cloud sky outside the window, followed by a rumbling thunder that resounded through the sky.
In less than a few minutes, raindrops the size of soybeans began to fall.
At this moment, Varys was no longer the harmless expression he usually maintained with a smile on his face. Instead, he was like a terrible poisonous spider, with terrifying light flashing in his eyes, appearing both dangerous and deadly.
But soon, he controlled his emotions, returned to his previous state, put on a false face and questioned: "What about you? My dear Lord Baelish, why are you so active and busy?"
"Of course it's to create chaos! You know what? The world we live in now is not beautiful, it can even be said to be very cruel.
The high and mighty nobles and their descendants dominate everything forever like gods.
If a person does not have a good background, no matter how hard he works, how outstanding his mind and physique are, or how great his achievements are, he is just an insignificant clown in the eyes of those princes and nobles.
Of course, all this is built on the basis of order and stability in the kingdom.
But if chaos and turmoil fall into place and war once again engulfs the seven kingdoms, then the originally strict class barriers will be broken down again.
Those families that consider themselves noble and ancient will perish in cruel wars, and new families will be established on the corpses of blood and fire.
When Aegon I launched the war of conquest, he broke and rewrote the order of Westeros with overwhelming force. Why can't we do it again with wisdom and brains? And the children of the Mad King you support will also have the opportunity to counterattack Westeros, right? "
While saying this, Petyr Baelish's eyes never left the slightly fat round face of the octopus spider.
After just a few minutes of probing, he had realized that Varys was not his enemy, at least not yet.
Moreover, the two have a common goal, which is to create conflicts through various means, preferably to let the Stark family, the king of the North, and the Lannister family, the guardian of the West, go to war.
At that time, coupled with the possible conflict and war between the two brothers Stannis and Renly of the Baratheon family for the throne, the entire Westeros continent will be in chaos and plunged into war.
Looking at the aggressive "Little Finger" who finally showed his ambition, Varys said in a very calm tone: "Now that you have said this, let us play this game of thrones in our own way, Lord Petyr Baelish."
"As you wish, my dear Varys."
Petyr bowed very solemnly, placing one hand on his chest.
This is both a respect for this equally powerful opponent and a confidence in one's own mind and skills.
Compared to the "Octopus Spider" who has become a "eunuch" and has no chance of gaining recognition from the nobles, he obviously has an incomparable advantage, that is, his noble birth.
Even though it was just an insignificant and influenceless family, they were even ridiculed for this in their childhood.
But nobles are nobles! Even the lowest nobles are not something that common people can reach!
This is why, after years of struggle, he was able to enter the Imperial Council and become the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Finally, the two conspirators stared into each other's eyes for several minutes before they turned around and left the messy room at the same time, preparing to let the servants clean up.
But none of them noticed that just a few seconds after they walked out, a figure in a gray cloak slowly appeared out of thin air, took off his hood to reveal a face that was very different from that of a local resident, pursed his lips and muttered to himself in a polar voice: "I never thought that I wanted to see if I could steal something valuable, but ended up hearing such a shocking secret.
Queen Cersei had an incestuous affair with his brother, and several princes and princesses were not the king's children?
The king has a lot of illegitimate children outside? The former prime minister is very likely to have died in an assassination during the political struggle?
The chief of royal intelligence is loyal to the Targaryen family? The chancellor of the exchequer is ambitious and wants to provoke war and chaos? The aristocratic circle in this world is really chaotic.
But it doesn't matter, the more chaotic it is, the better. The more chaotic it is, the more benefits we players can earn.
Looks like tonight's stroll will end here.
I have to tell Jack, Mr. Wu and Caroline this important news as soon as possible.
Before other teams learn the truth, we can use this important information to gain more advantages..."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the thief player instantly activated the magic attached to his cloak. The whole person was instantly shrouded in a thick black fog, and with the cover of darkness, he quickly left the Red Castle.
When he met several other players who had also sneaked in with the help of magic equipment and props, he did not forget to greet them in a friendly manner, and exchanged information about the terrain, rooms, and secret passages that had been discovered so far.
Those guards, patrols and Kingsguard had no idea that this place, which could have been called "heavily guarded", had already been infiltrated like a sieve.
As long as the players wish, they can make the king, queen, prince, princess, prime minister and other big figures standing at the top of the power pyramid die in their sleep at any time and never wake up again.
Of course, the reason they don’t kill is not because they are kind or cannot bear it, but mainly because there is no benefit in killing.
If someone was willing to offer a high reward, the castle would have been a river of blood.
In addition, in order to prevent stealing too much and causing unnecessary vigilance, players who are able to sneak in even reached an agreement in private, that is, each person can only steal one thing every night, and must not touch overly sensitive and important things such as crowns and swords.
In this way, even if something valuable was lost in the Red Castle, the owner would only think that it was some servants or guards who had done something dishonest.
About half an hour later, in a room on the second floor of a hotel, the thief Inez recounted word for word the conversation that he overheard between "Octospider" and "Little Finger".
moment!
The other three core members were all jaw-dropping.
Especially Caroline, a talented girl who is actually only in her teens. Ever since she learned that the queen had committed incest with her own brother and gave birth to so many children, her mouth has remained in an O shape.
When he learned that King Robert had enough illegitimate children outside to form a football team and were wealthy enough, his eyes lit up with strange brilliance, as if he had awakened some strange habit.
After everything was said, the people present looked at each other for a full minute, totally unsure of how to express their complicated feelings at the moment.
In the final analysis, there is only one thing to say: the aristocratic circle is really chaotic and really fun.
Finally, Jack couldn't help but complain first: "Is this family suffering from some serious illness?
A king who has a beautiful queen but rarely sleeps with her. Instead, he always likes to go out and find prostitutes and mistresses. As a result, none of the children born are his own.
Another queen not only did not think about how to win her husband's heart, but also committed adultery with her own brother. She also dared to raise her illegitimate son as a legitimate prince and princess, without fear of being exposed.
I bet that if the truth were to be exposed, a war would immediately break out among the most powerful noble families on this continent.
Especially the Baratheon family, which has become the royal family, and the Lannister family, to which Queen Cersei belongs, there is a high probability that they will go to war until one of them is completely destroyed. "
Wu Sheng also analyzed: "No, there are more than these two.
Don't forget that the Stark family, the guardian of the North, is an ally of the Baratheon family and will inevitably be involved.
In addition, the Lannisters also have quite a few allies and supporters.
This means that the war that is about to break out will be larger in scale and last longer than any of us expected.
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered it!
You said that when King Robert went north to invite Lord Ned Stark to be the King's Hand, was he aware of the strange death of the previous Prime Minister?
At the same time, you also feel that there is danger around you, so you are eager to find someone you trust to protect yourself? "
“I think it’s entirely possible! It seems that the political situation in King’s Landing is more complicated than we previously thought.
But the good thing is that we know this information in advance, and now we can choose a camp before other players react.
Based on the information currently available, we can roughly judge that the king and the Stark family are one force; the queen, the prince and the Lannister family are one force; Renly and Stannis of the Baratheon family are another force.
As for the Tyrell family that rules the wealthy Riverlands, due to the lack of the most basic righteousness, they can only belong to one side.
In addition, Varys, the chief intelligence officer, and Petyr Baelish, the finance minister, are forces hidden in the dark. "
With her extraordinary intelligence, Caroline quickly deduced from the confusing information how the major families would stand after the outbreak of war.
"Wait! Aren't Lord Renly and Lord Stannis the king's brothers? They should both be from the Baratheon family. Shouldn't they be in the same camp as the king?"
When the girl heard this, she immediately smiled playfully and explained meaningfully, “No, no, no, they may be in the same camp as the king, but they are not necessarily in the same camp as the Stark family.
Don't forget, when the news spreads that the princes and princesses are not the king's children, who will be the biggest beneficiary? Illegitimate children in this world are the same as in medieval Europe on Earth. They are neither recognized nor have any inheritance rights.
Most importantly, under what circumstances do you think a war that would break out between the great nobles and sweep across the entire continent would break out?"
"Damn it! You mean... the queen and her brother would murder the king? And then send their own son to the throne!"
Inez finally understood something and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Caroline nodded seriously, "That's right! The war will officially break out from the moment the king dies! If I were one of the two conspirators hiding in the dark, I would deliberately let the queen win the political struggle in King's Landing, but let the truth spread everywhere in the form of rumors.
In this case, Lord Renly and Lord Stannis, who both have the right of inheritance, will start a war for the succession to the throne, and may even kill each other for the Iron Throne.
Likewise, the Starks will become enemies with the Lannisters because of the king's death.
Even by arranging for the new Prime Minister to die in King's Landing, forcing the two families to fight to the death."
"Hehehehe! An all-out war sweeping across the entire north and south of Westeros? I like it!" Jack grinned with a violent and bloodthirsty smile.
He seemed to be unable to hold back and wanted to start a killing spree.
"So we have to start making choices now. Which side should we stand on to get the most benefit?"
As she spoke, Caroline took out a simple map from her pocket and drew the spheres of influence of several families on it.
And mark the possible mobilization of troops, equipment and material supply capabilities so that others in the team can have a clear understanding of this.
Wu Sheng stared at the map for about two or three minutes, and quickly said, "I think it's better to choose the queen and the family behind her.
After all, everyone on this continent knows a famous saying: A Lannister must pay his debts.
This shows that they have a very good reputation and there are gold mines in the family territory.
As a mercenary, there is no more ideal employer than this.
Moreover, this force will face the most enemies, so it will certainly give us the greatest autonomy and even allow us to recruit more soldiers to grow stronger. "
Jack immediately nodded and agreed, "I agree! Although Queen Cersei is not a good person, what she can give us is definitely something that other forces cannot give. Even if the Lannisters are defeated in the end, we can still gain enough benefits from it."
"Then let's choose the Queen and the Lannisters. Our goal is to maximize profits! Who wins or loses in the end, and who sits on the Iron Throne, has nothing to do with us."
Inez shrugged nonchalantly.
"But before we surrender to the queen, there is one thing we must do, and that is to demonstrate our strength. Jack, you must perform well in tomorrow's competition." Wu Sheng reminded his partner, staring into his eyes.
"Don't worry! Tomorrow I will mercilessly kill all my opponents, and prove to everyone in the coldest, most brutal, and bloodiest manner that I am the strongest one in this martial arts tournament, and not that damn Demon Mountain."
After saying that, Jack used a little force to bend his palm, which was twice as big as a normal person's and had extra space, and the joints made a crisp crackling sound.
…
The next morning, at the temporary martial arts tournament venue, countless nobles and commoners gathered to participate in the event.
The stands were packed with people, without even a single empty seat.
The cheers and shouts were deafening.
In this era of severe lack of entertainment, knightly tournaments are more attractive than any other sports or fighting competitions in modern society.
Because the latter has set too many restrictive rules in order to prevent deaths, and even does not allow hitting vital points and other fatal parts.
But what about the former?
Although there are many protective measures, it is still full of brutality and bloodiness, and any carelessness can cause permanent disability or even death.
Many civilians came specifically to enjoy the sight of the high-ranking knights and noble sons fighting to the death with blood all over their faces.
As the organizer of the tournament, King Robert was sitting in the VIP seat in the center of the stands. He joked with interest to his good friend, Ned Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, who was sitting next to him: "You know, if it weren't for this damn stomach, I would even want to go down and compete with them myself, and then win the final championship."
"Come on. If you had said this more than a decade ago, I would have believed it. But now..."
Ned deliberately paused, looking at the other's round figure, and couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
You know, when he welcomed Robert in his territory not long ago, he couldn't believe that the invincible warrior who had been invincible on the battlefield would become fat like a huge ball of meat, and even needed help from others to get on and off the horse.
"Hahahaha! Yes! Time is really unforgiving."
Hearing his good brother teasing him, Robert was not angry at all. Instead, he started laughing. Without saying a word, he picked up the glass and drank the wine in it. He waved his hand to indicate that today's game could begin.
Soon, two knights wearing plate armor and riding tall horses slowly walked to the front of the main stand from both sides.
One of them took off his helmet first and bowed to King Robert.
Finally, another man who was so tall and strong that it was chilling did not take off his helmet from beginning to end, but he also chose to bow while riding on horseback with one hand on his chest.
Needless to say, this guy with an unusual body shape is Jack, who has the blood of an ogre and a giant.
The warhorse under his crotch was no ordinary stuff either. It was a "dragon horse" purchased in the floating city for more than two thousand gold coins. That is, a horse with a small amount of dragon bloodline, and its size was almost twice that of other warhorses.
With its sturdy limbs and solid muscles, it looks like a heavy tank or dump truck in the horse world.
Considering Jack's height of two meters and five and weight of nearly three hundred kilograms, the two are completely not in the same league in terms of appearance.
Even the Mountain seemed smaller than it.
"Who are you? Why don't you take off your helmet?" Robert asked curiously.
But unfortunately, Jack, who only has an IQ of five points, doesn't know the language of this world at all. He can only take out the small wooden signs that his teammates have prepared for him in advance.
There were only a few easy-to-understand words written on it in the common language of Westeros - I don't know your language.
Realizing that there was no way to communicate, Robert had no choice but to let the game begin.
However, the exaggerated size of Jack and the horse under his crotch had obviously aroused his interest, so when both parties were in position, he immediately gave the order to start the game.
moment!
The knights at both ends of the track began to urge their horses to speed up.
Especially Jack's opponent. Although he was already filled with fear in his heart, in order not to bear the reputation of a coward, he still struggled to clamp the spear tightly, wanting to use the skills he had practiced hard to make up for the lack of strength and weight.
Unfortunately, he had no idea what he was about to face.
Jack did not clamp the gun on the bracket and buckle under his armpit as normal, but held it tightly in his hand.
Without a doubt!
This is definitely something that only an amateur can do.
This is because humans' fragile wrists are simply unable to withstand the huge reaction force generated by the spear suddenly stabbing into an object when the warhorse is running and accelerating. In the worst case, the patient will be dislocated or severely fractured and completely disabled.
As the war horses galloped faster on the tracks on both sides, the distance between the two sides quickly closed within the attack radius.
Just as the other knight was about to take an attacking stance, he suddenly saw Jack throw away the shield in his hand, lean forward, grab the reins with one hand, and suddenly thrust forward with the other hand holding the spear.
Because the latter was originally tall and strong, and his arms were long, the former was stabbed hard in the chest where his heart was before the spear could attack him.
The next second...
Bang! Under the dual blessing of the terrifying inertia and Jack's amazing strength attribute, his opponent's armor was instantly dented.
The wooden pole at the front directly penetrated the steel plate and pierced deeply into the chest in an extremely brutal manner.
Because the whole process happened so quickly, no one could see clearly what was happening.
Immediately afterwards, the victim's body flew into the air, and the horse under him did a 360-degree spin on the field. It then flew backwards seven or eight meters before falling to the ground with a thud.
The man died on the spot, and the horse broke its neck and neighed in pain and despair.
As for the cause of death, anyone who was not blind could see the half-broken lance stuck in the chest of the corpse.
Killed with one strike! Everyone, including Robert, stood up in shock, their faces filled with expressions of disbelief and shock.
The stands, which were originally full of noisy cheers, now fell into a terrifying silence, so deep that you could hear a pin drop.
You should know that this attack is not to poke the unprotected parts such as the helmet or neck, but the chest where the Eight Views have the strongest protection.
Moreover, after completing such a dangerous action, Jack's wrist did not show any signs of injury, and he casually threw the remaining half of the lance far away to his "servant" (played by the player).
"Oh--my goodness!"
After a long while, Robert finally came back to his senses. With an excited look on his face, he asked his new Prime Minister: "Did you see that? The movements and amazing power that guy just displayed!"
"Ah! Of course I saw it! I'm not blind." Ned responded after taking a deep breath.
As a warrior of decent strength, he simply couldn't believe that there existed a monster in the world that was as powerful as the Mountain.
As for the unlucky guy who was killed, no one would care about him at all.
Because Jack's entire killing process was clean and neat, there was nothing to blame at all.
If anyone is to be blamed, it is that his opponent was too weak and lacked the self-awareness to admit defeat in advance.
"Who do you think would win if he and the Mountain fought?"
Robert glanced maliciously at Gregor Clegane, who also showed surprise and fear.
Ned smiled bitterly and replied, "Do I need to ask? It must be this guy named Jack. He is too powerful, so powerful that he doesn't look like a human being at all. Maybe there is a monster hidden under the helmet."
"You! Go and call the winner of the tournament! Remember to call one of his companions as well." Robert shouted to a servant.
The latter nodded quickly and trotted towards Jack, who had just won the game.
After about five or six minutes, the two players were taken to the VIP seats in the stands.
"Good morning, Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen, and Your Excellency the Prime Minister."
The thief Inez took the initiative to greet the dignitaries present.
Since he had been in and out of the Red Keep more than once and knew almost everyone there, he was assigned here to act according to circumstances.
"Are you this big man's companion?" Robert asked bluntly.
Inez nodded without hesitation: "Yes. We belong to the same mercenary group. I heard that you were holding a martial arts competition, so I wanted to try my luck."
"You are from Pentos?"
Robert instantly recalled the information he had received from Varys, the chief intelligence officer, last night, and began to look the two of them up and down.
"Yes. To be exact, we come from the distant eastern continent and were summoned to Pentos by magic."
Inez quickly told the lie she had prepared.
"The far east? Is that the Land of Shadows?" Ned interrupted curiously.
For the people of Westeros, the farthest eastern city they know of is Asshai, which stands on the edge of the Shadow Land across the Red Waste.
Inez shook her head slightly: "No, it's farther."
But Robert obviously didn't believe these words, and responded casually: "It sounds interesting. But compared with the distant East, I am obviously more interested in your companion. Can you ask him to take off his helmet?"
"Take off your helmet? Are you sure you really want to do this?" Inez's mouth twitched slightly.
"Why, is there a problem?"
There was a hint of doubt in Robert's eyes.
"Well - how should I put it. The face of my companion is so abstract and sloppy that everyone who sees it will inevitably experience symptoms including but not limited to nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fear, etc..." Inez explained carefully.
"Is there really such an ugly person in the world?"
Queen Cersei, who had remained silent all this time, now became interested.
There was no way she couldn't be interested! She had always believed that Gregor Clegane, the evil dog of the Lannister family, was already the strongest warrior in all of Westeros.
But who would have thought that an even more powerful person would appear in this competition.
If they could recruit them, their own strength would be greatly expanded, and even those families who were keeping a wait-and-see attitude would seriously consider the issue of the team.
Seeing that all these kingdoms, queens and prime ministers did not believe it, the only thing Inez could do was to give these guys a little shock and immediately gestured to Jack to take off his helmet.
When the latter took off his fully enclosed helmet and revealed his "ancient god-like face", everyone in the VIP seats was stunned.
After just two or three seconds, Sansa Stark, who had the worst psychological quality, couldn't help but vomit her breakfast first. She didn't care about maintaining the so-called "lady" image at all, and her eyes were full of fear.
The second one who followed was the crown prince Joffrey "the Great", who was vomiting all over the place and couldn't stop.
The third one is Arya, the little rascal.
Although she tried her best to endure it, that kind of strong physiological reaction was obviously not something a little girl could resist.
Queen Cersei was truly a heroine, and she actually held on for two full minutes, waiting for the maid beside her to vomit out everything in her stomach before she ran into the corridor with her mouth covered.
In addition, some noble ladies and maids were so frightened that they fainted, and a few timid ones even became incontinent.
It can be said that the scene was extremely embarrassing and chaotic at one point.
In contrast, King Robert and Prime Minister Ned, who had fought on the battlefield, simply retched twice, and then hurriedly waved their hands to signal Jack to put his helmet back on.
After admiring the miserable appearance of the princes and nobles for a while, Inez pretended to be helpless and said, "I think you should know why he must wear a helmet now."
"What the hell! I can't believe that there are human beings so ugly in this world. I don't understand whether he is blessed by God or cursed." Robert complained, shaking his big bearded head.
"I think this may be a joke that God deliberately played on mortals. After all, he may have the most powerful power in the world, but he also has the ugliest appearance. To a certain extent, it is quite fair and will not make people feel envy or jealous, right?" Ned also expressed his opinion.
Needless to say, Jack's face, which looked like a scene from a serial car accident, shocked the two of them greatly.
But King Robert obviously admired Jack as a brave and fearless warrior, so after rewarding him with some property and wishing him to win the championship of the tournament, he quickly let the two men withdraw.
He didn't notice at all that Queen Cersei had someone slip a note into the latter's hand shortly after Jack and Inez left.
