It's approaching noon, and the red sun is getting hotter.
While Gryn was waiting for the next challenger, the manager Russell came over in a hurry.
"My master, the next challenger must fight you with a spear."
Gryn raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which family do you belong to?"
"He is a member of House Crane. It is said that he is the brother of the Crane swordsman who was defeated by you yesterday."
Gryn's brown eyes moved and he said, "For the duel between swordsmen, if he insists on using a spear, he can do it. He will have to pay extra. I will charge him 100 Gold Dragon."
Russell nodded and left in a hurry.
Not long after, a Crane spearman who looked to be in his late thirties walked onto the ring with a dark face.
Standing opposite Gryn, the challenger Crane pulled down his visor.
Wuwuwu~~The horn sounded to indicate the start of the game.
The Crane spearman took advantage of the length of his spear and took the lead in stabbing at Gryn.
Gryn moved the sword in his hand, slapped the sword aside with a clang, and rushed forward.
Gryn's movements were very fast. By the time the opponent reacted, he had already appeared in front of him.
With a bang, Gryn's shoulder hit Crane's spearman's chest.
Crane The spearman suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall backwards.
With a bang, Gryn raised the hammer of the long sword and slammed it into the opponent's faceplate.
After a muffled sound, the Crane spearman, whose faceplate was slightly deformed, lay on his back motionless on the ground.
Gryn said coldly, "Carry it down!"
This is an honorable swordsman duel, all the bells and whistles are required to come up with a spear.
I just received a little more challenge money, but I dared to show my face to Gryn.
The open-minded Gryn, for the sake of the purity of the game and the honor of the swordsmen, will naturally end the battle neatly.
No one values honor more than Lord Gryn.
Gryn raised his eyes to look at the sun and made a gesture.
After receiving the Gryn signal, the Russell steward immediately announced loudly that the morning challenge was over.
Gryn saw House Tarly's three brothers and sisters when he walked off the ring.
Russell's manager has already reported it to Gryn, and House Tarly's people want to meet.
Gryn on the stage seems to be invincible.
After getting off the ring, Gryn has a delicate and gentle face, which makes it easy for people to like him.
Gryn took the initiative to caress his chest and said, "Good day, Your Excellency Samwell·House Tarly."
Samwell, who has a fat body and a lot of beard, has a shy smile, "Good day, Gryn·Lord Crabb. This is my sister, Talla·House Tarly."
Talla·House Tarly, who are of average age, have clear eyes, fair skin, and are not stunningly beautiful but very attractive.
Gryn looked at Talla·House Tarly and said politely, "Good day, Miss Talla·House Tarly, your arrival makes this place more glorious."
Talla·House Tarly's little face was a little shy, she lifted her skirt slightly and said, "Good day, Gryn·Lord Crabb, thank you for your compliment."
Gryn nodded slightly and turned his attention to Samwell's younger brother. "Good day, Your Excellency Dickon·House Tarly."
Dickon·House Tarly looked at Gryn with bright eyes, and the salute was very standard. "Good day, Gryn·Lord Crabb, I admire you very much!"
Gryn smiled with humility and encouraged, "I believe that you will also be an excellent swordsman in the future."
After completing the tedious exchange of greetings, Gryn invited the three brothers and sisters Samwell to have lunch together.
Red Keep, Maegor's Holdfast.
Early this morning, Cersei Queen had another big quarrel with King Robert.
At this time, Cersei Queen's anger had subsided.
Cersei Queen was holding the wine glass and frowning, seemingly lost in thought.
She can no longer stand King Robert.
For Cersei Queen, every time King Robert seeks pleasure, every time he is an insult to her.
Also, the most important thing is that her Joffrey has grown up.
Cersei Queen, who calls herself the true successor of Old Lion Tywin·Lannister, wants to prepare a perfect plan like her father to get rid of the king Robert who makes her sick.
After calming down and thinking about it for a long time, Cersei Queen felt that there was still no more reliable strategy than letting Jaime personally assassinate him.
It's best not to leave any clues about this kind of thing!
Cersei Queen is thinking that Jaime has a weak character and likes to look forward and backward, so it will take a lot of time to convince him.
Cousin Lancel is now King Robert's attendant...Cersei Queen raised the corners of his lips and drank up the Summer Wine in the wine glass in one gulp.
Red Keep, Tower of the Hand.
Master of Coin Petyr·Baelish moved his office to Tower of the Hand in order to cooperate with the seriously ill Lord Jon in handling the kingdom's government affairs.
Petyr sat in front of the table as motionless as a statue, only his gray-green eyes moved slightly from time to time.
Petyr is a person who is good at summarizing. Now he has to admit that Lord Gryn from Crackclaw Point has taught him a lesson in strategy.
Vale, for Petyr, sooner or later it will be in his pocket.
What Petyr is thinking about now is the issue of domination after getting Vale.
Gold Dragon may be able to gain loyalty, but this loyalty is unreliable, because it may backstab you for Gold Dragon.
Petyr often uses Gold Dragon to buy people he needs, so he has a deep understanding of this.
Petyr's family is not a traditional military noble. It lacks affiliated families that are both capable of fighting and loyal and reliable. It also lacks military leaders who only recognize their own lords.
Westeros lacks this kind of family heritage. Even if Petyr has an army, it is difficult to control it. On the contrary, it is easy to be bribed by opponents.
Without military deterrence, even if he gets Vale, he will be restricted by the Vale nobles at every turn.
He had to be careful at all times, because of conflicts of interest, he was assassinated by barbaric nobles.
This is not the result he wants.
Petyr has learned specifically in the past few days that the hatred between Gryn's forces and Vale's nobles has been accumulated for a long time, and it can be said that it is almost impossible to resolve.
Therefore, Gryn is a reliable natural ally to a certain extent in dealing with the Vale nobles.
Petyr is thinking that Crackclaw Point is in the right position, and he may be able to use Gryn's army to restrain the Vale nobles.
With constraints, a certain balance can be achieved and he can control the situation.
In this case, Petyr will have enough time to deal with the disobedient Vale noble while gaining the loyalty of Vale noble.
In the end, Petyr will leave the Vale nobles who are only loyal to him, completely control Vale, and become the true master of Vale.
Petyr narrowed his eyes slightly, this is a large transaction.
For this large transaction, Petyr needs to accurately calculate Lord Gryn's needs and weaknesses.
Although the contact between the two was short, Petyr believed that Gryn was as shrewd as him.
Petyr felt that he had to make an offer that Gryn could not refuse.
