Chapter 29
Jorah should be ashamed, Dany finds out that he didn't name oneself wife. Perhaps, she had long since disappeared from his memory, after all, she never seemed to enter his heart. But she gave him three difficult births, and finally died...
Knight continued: "Not long after, my father joined Night's Watch, I became Earl of Bear Island, and came to propose marriage There were so many people, and before I made a final decision, the Ironmen rebelled and Balon Greyjoy made himself king..."
Dany frowned, interrupting him, "When was that? Before I was born?"
"Princess, I'm not that old." Jorah said dryly with a sullen face.
"Oh, you go on," Dany responded casually.
"That's four years after the Usurper war, you're about four..." His voice dropped.
It doesn't seem to make a difference, they're all the same old...
Dany figured it out, it was the time Theon Greyjoy got into Winterfell.
She wondered: "What did Ironmen think? During the turbulent period of Usurper's rebellion, he didn't make trouble, but after Usurper had been king for 4 years, the domestic unrest had subsided, where did he... Or is it that his reflex arc is too long, he just reacted, and he wants to make a hero in a troubled world?"
"I'm not quite clear, Ironmen have always been crazy and unpredictable." Jorah shook his head, " Maybe he thought Usurper had a shaky foundation, maybe someone had been suppressing him before, preventing him from rebelling...
During the Usurper upheaval, Balon's father Duke Quellon remained neutral, and in your After the death of big brother Prince Rhaegar at Ruby Ford, he took refuge with Usurper Robert while Highgarden Tyrell sided with Targaryen.
So Quellon set out to sea with Iron Fleet (the main fleet of the Islands of the Ironmen) to prepare Raid Reach Highgarden, but unfortunately the Highgarden people were already prepared, waiting for work in the Shield Islands, not only defeated the invincible Iron Fleet, but also killed Quellon in that battle. Then, Balon inherited the father's position, that is Usurper has been enthroned as the King, the rebellions are all but subsided."
"It took four years for King Balon to take full control of Ironman's Bay and he raised his flag to rebel. Then King Balon lost, his eldest son, second son Killed, his ten-year-old son became the adopted son of Duke of Winterfell Eddard Stark and a hostage to keep House Greyjoy from rebelling.
To celebrate the victory, Robert decided to hold a Tourney outside Lanisport.
I met Lynese there.
She was only half my age and came from Oldtown with my father to watch oneself's brother fight.
Seeing her for the first time , my eyes can no longer be separated from her. For the first time, I felt such a strong love for oneself. Impulsively, I begged her to give me a token and let me fight for her. I don't even dream Dare to think she would agree, but she agreed.
Her Highness the Princess , you have to understand that martial arts competition is a kind of knight sport, not a pure martial skill contest. We northerners have never been good at this sport from the Andals, but with Lynesse's token, I seem to be possessed by the Warrior in The Seven.
I was invincible for a few days and ended up wearing Wreath of Love and Beauty for Lynesse.
The wine and glory stimulated me to do a crazy thing, that night I went to find her father, and bluntly hoped to marry his daughter.
With our wealth and position, Earl Leyton should have rejected me ruthless, but he didn't. "
The Fiefdom of the Leyton Hightower family has Westeros' second largest port - Oldtown, as well as Maester's temple - Citadel, the headquarters of the Church of The Seven are also in Oldtown.
House Hightower is also the bloodline of Garth Greenhand, they can be counted as Duke without the title of Duke.
Tywin Lannister Duke once proposed to Earl Leyton on behalf of his son Imp, hoping that Tyrion can take a Hightower daughter.
Earl Leyton rejected him almost insultingly.
Jorah Mormont was lucky.
“Unfortunately, the honeymoon was short-lived and Lynesse was so disappointed in my hometown, It felt too cold, too wet and too remote.
Bear Island's long wooden hall is far from her home's gorgeous and warm tall castle.
Furthermore, Bear Island life lacks the spice that a Southern noble lady needs, no fancy dress parties, no mime performances, no lavish dinner parties.
Even wandering singers have to wait for several years before they may come over with a fur merchant. It's still old, ugly, and third-rate singers with poor skills.
North food is also far more monotonous than rich Highgarden, and even if Gods blessed my subjects with enough to eat, every meal was almost a torment for Lynnesse.
At that time, I thought that as long as she was happy, I would do anything.
So, I hired a cook from her hometown, found Bard, and the gold and silver jewelry for the dance—Bear Island that counted flowers for every Silver Coin, I was helplessly proficient. Most jewelry prices.
So, you see how I can estimate the value of that opal bracelet so skillfully? "
Jorah smiles like...Double 11 online loan to the husband who pays bills to the oneself wife.
"I will try my best to satisfy her whatever she wants." As I said before, because of her, I have the potential to burst into the Tourney championship.
Usurper is a generous... oh, a flamboyant King who spends a lot and loves to host a Tourney, and every Tourney winner is rewarded handsomely.
That time, I not only got glory and beauty, but also fifty thousand Golden Dragons into my pocket. ”
(ps: When Eddard took office, the champion of the Tournament was awarded 40,000 Golden Dragons, but I thought it was more meaningful to quell the King Balon rebellion, so I added 10,000 Golden Dragons)
"So many? Dany couldn't help but exclaimed.
Having the memory of the original owner's hard life in major city-states, she also probably understood the purchasing power of the world's three currencies of gold, silver and copper.
I remember one time, on the streets of Myr civilian area, Viserys used two copper plates to buy two barbecued sausages and a small bowl of goat milk from the street vendor. Viserys quickly ate the oneself portion and stole the leftover from younger sister. The next half of the sausage.
In terms of purchasing power, it should be five yuan per copper. A breakfast, but Viserys was in the developmental stage at that time, and the nutrition could not keep up.
And one Golden Dragon can be exchanged for 30 Silver Moon, and one Silver Moon can be exchanged for about 800 copper plates.
That is to say, one Golden Dragon = 2400 copper plates = 12000 renminbi purchasing power
50,000 Golden Dragon, which is about 600 million...
fuck!
Dany remembers that in the original plot, Robert was in power for 14 years and owed a total of 6 million foreign debts to Golden Dragon, of which 3 million belonged to House Lannister.
This...
Hearing Dany's exclamation, Jorah also sighed: "Yeah, Bear Island can't earn 5,000 Golden Dragons for a hundred years. Usurper is more like a 'Mad King' than your father when it comes to spending money... uh, sorry, I mean..."
Knight blushed, a little overwhelmed .
Dany didn't say anything, just looked nodded calmly.
Ser Jorah breathed a sigh of relief and continued his love story, saying: "There are also those fifty thousand Golden Dragon who beat At the end of the day, I was able to meet all the requirements of Lynese in the previous days.
I built a great ship for her so that she could go around for festivals and banquets. Lannisport, Oldtown, King's Landing, Lys, Pentos, have all appeared in her silhouette. The farthest we went to Braavos. "
"From Bear Island to Braavos? Are you crazy? Dany was shocked again.
Braavos is actually very close to North, in a straight line...if there is a plane, it would be about 3000 kilometers from Bear Island to Braavos.
Uh, three A thousand kilometers seems to be a bit far.
The key point is that Bear Island and Braavos are separated by a continent and a strait. If you take a boat, you must circle the Westeros continent.
Probably... ...
It's too far away, and the sea conditions are very complicated, so there may be detours.
Only one thing is certain, the voyage is 100% more than 10,000 kilometers. It's farther than from Shanghai to Los Angeles.
Jorah really sacrificed his life for his wife.
But this is not the end, Jorah is still talking about oneself "burning life"
"For the money, and also because Lynesse wants to get Wreath of Love and Beauty again - that's a paramount honor after True King, I continue to participate in Tourney, but Wonders is no more, I don't Haven't won either. And every time you lose, it means the loss of a warhorse and a set of armor, which must be redeemed or replaced with new products. "
Dany said curiously: "How much for a set of armor and a horse?" "
The original Daenerys roamed the market and knew the price of ordinary food and drink, but was too far away from the weapons and workhorses of the nobles.
"A good tame horse, at least a Golden Above Dragon, my previous warhorses were better, on average there were about three Golden Dragons. And the better full body armor is about 4 or 5 Golden Dragon, I have to buy good armor. "He solemnly told Dany, "For those of us Knights with family background, the familiarity of armor is comparable to the understanding of oneself's palm print. Usually, I can see the weak spot of the opponent's armor with just a glance - if there is a weak spot.
Similarly, my opponent can see the weak spot on me. So, I can't have too obvious weak spot, can't use inferior armor, otherwise I will have mortal danger during the battle.
I'm not afraid of death, but dying in an aristocratic game because of the armor problem is really useless. "
paused, Knight Jorah said in a complicated tone: "I have participated in many Tourneys, and every time a Knight is killed, mostly a Freerider who seeks wealth and fame.
Almost no one of the children of the great nobles died, because no one could break through their defenses under the rules of lance combat. "
If Dany had seen 'The Prime Minister's Tourney' at King's Landing more than a year ago, she would have known Jorah's words better.
One of them, Renly vs Hound. During the high-speed hedging process, Hound stabbed Renly in the chest with a shot, causing him to fly upside down from the saddle, and flew more than ten meters away in the opposite direction. He was crushed, what happened?
There was nothing wrong with him, he stood up with a pat on the buttocks, waved his hands arrogantly, and responded to the cheers of the surrounding audience with a decent smile.
If we change If a person's chest plate is thinner, or the inner lining behind the plate is not elastic enough to cushion the violent impact, then his internal organs will be damaged even if he does not die.
In this world, if the internal organs are injured, people are basically Obsolete.
“What’s the difference between a Freerider and a Knight? "She said curiously.
