Chapter 303
"Three years ago, I got word that Robert was bringing his family to Winterfell, so I took my lute (classical guitar) and a pack of Silver Stags and climbed the ice wall near the long train building and over the new land grant , and then go south for more than ten kilometers, and find a post station to buy a horse.
I didn't go directly to Winterfell. Stark's guards knew every villager nearby. I rode south for about 600 kilometers and found Robert's Wheel Palace.
Freerider and hired Knight often join the Royal Family, hoping to stay in front of the Royal Family.
I am better than them, I can play the piano and sing, and I am proficient in all the prostitution inside and outside the Wall. On a minor tune, Bard is always easier to be accepted.
So, I successfully joined the Royal Family team and had enough opportunities to get to know the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms... alas, if drinking, A woman is the measure of King's abilities, and Robert is perfectly qualified to call himself the 'Singular Emperor of All Ages'."
"You're imitating Bael the Bard." Dany looked odd.
Thinking of Bael's deeds made her a little regretful.
Shadowbinder is mysterious, but the coolness is a lot worse than Bard. At that time in Volantis, at the black tower banquet, she should incarnate as Bard and perform piano skills for the guests. "Rain of Castamere" can't be sung, but you can play "ambush from ten sides" or "victory".
While playing, the dragon ravaged the audience, the taste, the coolness...
It's a pity!
More than a thousand years ago, Bael the Bard was known inside and outside the Wall for his valour and poetic talent. Even King in the North Brandon Stark had heard of him.
But Brandon treats him with contempt, calling him a 'coward' Bael.
Bael, in order to retaliate and at the same time to prove the ability of oneself to the world, climbed over the city wall alone, went south along Kingsroad to Winterfell, and was received by Stark as a singer.
Brandon, impressed by his skills, asks what he needs as a reward, and Bael asks for a flower—the most beautiful flower in Winterfell's garden.
Brandon promised to let him pick a Winter Rose in the garden.
But in the early morning of the second day, Bael and Duke's only daughter disappeared together, and only one Winter Rose remained on the boudoir with small blood stains...
Dragon Family has 'Mad Blood', Wolf Family daughter has 'Wolf Blood' gene, Stark who eloped with wild man is not just Lyanna alone.
"I wouldn't dare to steal Lord Stark's daughter," explained Mance Rayder with a bitter smile, "I had already guessed the enemy the Free Folk would face southward, Wall's Ranger Captain Benjen Stark. , North Duke Eddard Stark, and King of the Seven Kingdoms Robert Baratheon.
At that banquet, I observed these three anticipated enemies at the same time.
Benjen and Eddard name is Not in vain, made me vigilant; Robert was a fatty who drank to death, and I was greatly sighed in relief at that time, thinking that I could beat ten of this kind of fatty.
Who knows the situation in Seven Kingdoms Unpredictable, Benjen was captured by Others, Eddard was beheaded, Robert was beaten to death by a boar...
In the end, it was Jon Snow, whom I had always neglected, and Jon Snow, whom I had always neglected. didn't expect Targaryen."
"Mance, and Magnars." Dany stood up, left his seat for the first time, and came to the center of the circular venue, the nearest Wildlings was less than five meters away from her .
"In the negotiation meeting, both you and I can put forward the terms of oneself. Now, I will explain to you my..."
paused, she said: " My 'triple-lease clause'!"
Speaking directly of the surrender treaty, Wildlings probably wants a frying pan, so it's better to put it in a more euphemistic way.
"First of all, let's clarify which three parties are the 'three parties'."
"There is no doubt that beyond the wall Free Folk and Night's Watch are one party, and the other party is me, There is Targaryen, but there is more than Targaryen.
The person who sits on the Iron Throne is not me.
The winter is coming, Others are ravaging beyond the wall, I It is also impossible to add man-made disasters on top of natural disasters. I will definitely not challenge the position of the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms until the next summer.
This will inevitably lead to third parties other than Night's Watch and Free Folk. The composition of the forces is extremely complicated.
Today, I am the only third party representative. Maybe tomorrow there will be a Baratheon, a Bolton the day after tomorrow, and even a Lannister the day after tomorrow.
For this , I promise you that Targaryen will not interfere in the transactions between Free Folk, Night's Watch and other lords of the Seven Kingdoms.
In the three-party talks at this time, the third party only represents Targaryen, and Targaryen will also resolutely fulfill the obligations of oneself ."
Finally, Dany looked around and asked everyone, "Do you understand?"
"Understood." Jon, Ser Mallister, Ser Glendon nods.
"Understood." Tormund followed nodded.
"en."
"I know."
The Wildlings leaders also expressed their opinions one by one.
Mance Rayder frowned: "I don't know the content of your 'triple lease agreement', but what if other princes interfere with our agreement with you?"
"This is We need to ask the other party of the three parties, Night's Watch, to come forward." Dany pointed to the three Night's Watch representatives, "It's not that they need to use martial power to maintain our treaty, but they will come forward to judge whether the prince's interference is justified.
For example, there is an article in the "Tripartite Treaty", which leases the new land granted by Night's Watch to Free Folk for farming.
At my request, Night's Watch reluctantly agreed. But When the Seven Kingdoms princes arrive, they are likely to disagree.
If Night's Watch is under pressure to agree with the Seven Kingdoms princes' decision, Targaryen and Free Folk can only admit it.
Or , I will give an alternative, or, I will compensate with Golden Dragon, or, we will break up with one shot, and the treaty will be abolished.
If the interference of the princes is unreasonable, such as the "Tripartite Treaty" also There is an article, Free Folk accepts the employment of Night's Watch, and I will compensate Free Folk for food and gold.
The princes want to rob your food and gold. When Night's Watch judges that their behavior is unreasonable, they do not need Free Folk to come forward at all. I'm here to help you deal with them, and use my martial power to ensure the implementation of the treaty."
"This, the right to speak is in the hands of Night's Watch, what if they deliberately sidetrack?" Tormund frowned.
Dany said loudly, "I believe in the wisdom and honor of Night's Watch."
Jon (looking firm): Your Majesty, for your words, I will be forever Night's Watch, no regrets!
Mallister (quietly wipes the corners of his eyes): Only a wise person can see through the wisdom of others, and only those who value honor can appreciate the honor of others. Your Majesty has great wisdom and a High Heart!
Glendon (clenched fist): Even in black clothed, I want to say - die for Your Majesty!
"But we don't believe it!" Wildlings exclaimed.
"You must believe, trust is the foundation of cooperation. Not only should you trust Night's Watch, Night's Watch should also trust you, everyone should understand one thing, we have a common enemy: Bitter Winter and Others. No With solidarity and cooperation, it will be difficult for any single party to overcome this difficulty."
Mance Rayder pondered a while, saying: "Please explain the Tripartite Lend-Lease Treaty first."
"Well, let's come to a consensus first. Free Folk is short of food, right?"
"With the grain reserves at this time, we can't even make it through to winter," Mance said.
"North's food is not enough for oneself, right?"
"Even if there is grain storage at the end of summer, it is difficult for North to survive the cold winter of more than two years. This time... ..." Mallister shook his head worriedly, "The winter is likely to last for more than five years, and if there is no relief, I'm afraid that 70% of the population will starve to death."
"Night's Watch is not enough food, right? "
"If the number of people does not increase, the food storage at this time is enough for two years."
Dany concludes: "So, North can't feed oneself and can't help Night's Watch." , to provide rations for hundreds of thousands of beyond the wall Free Folk is even more extravagant. We must find another way out, right?"
Wildlings and Night's Watch have nodded.
"What way?" the Hornfoots chief asked eagerly.
"People move to live, trees move to death, North can't support these people, we should find a richer and warmer place, right?"
"That makes sense. !" The Wildlings all agreed, "North is too barren, if you can invade..."
Dany's mouth twitched, and he interrupted them with a slap, saying: "Okay, since Everyone agrees with this conclusion, then we have the basis for signing the "Tripartite Leasing Treaty"."
Speaking, she looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, showing a sympathetic look, and sighed softly. Said: "Wildlings are also human beings, they also have parents, wives and children. I really can't bear to let your wives and children be separated and people lost in the cold winter and in the harassment of Others.
Therefore, "Treaty" "In the first article, Targaryen leased a number of Free Folk ships, tolls, grain seeds, farmland...
I will be responsible for transferring 100,000 Free Folks to people who are stupid. , The Essos Great Plain, which is rich in products and warm as summer, where there is no Night's Watch, no terrifying Iron Knight.
I have rented grain, seeds, livestock, and vast fields, you can farm there with peace of mind , grazing, and wintering.
During this period, I will guarantee your freedom of belief, personal safety and freedom, and the sanctity of your private property.
At the same time, you must also obey me "legal code" of "legal code", after all, when you come to a foreign land, you have to integrate into the new environment!
Of course, when the winter is over, I will arrange a boat to send people who are willing to return home to return to beyond the wall. You can bring Walking through the food, wealth and children accumulated in winter, the family happily becomes a beyond the wall Free Folk.
At that time, you can completely abandon the "legal code" and restore all the previous customs."
"So good?" Tormund asked warily.
"Targaryen, speak like a mountain!" Dany said indifferently.
Then's Magnar frowned and said suspiciously: "It's not that I don't believe you, but you've paid too much, right? It's just giving us benefits, and oneself has no benefit at all. This kind of treaty is very uneasy. !"
"Ai, I'm all about doing good things, but..." Dany shook his head in distress, and said reluctantly: "Well. I also have some enemies in Essos continent, they They are all slave traffickers, who specialize in enslaving free people, and they are the natural enemies of the Free Folk in the whole world.
You can lend me a group of heroic fearless, capable of fighting the Freedomsguard, just to promote Free Folk's ' freedom' concept, for the justice of the world. How?"
Magnar Thenn relieved, and said, "It's still a little uneasy..."
Dany bit Gritting his teeth, he seemed very unwilling to say: "Give me a part of the grain you grow, and 20%! How about as a reward for me from Free Folk?"
"Reluctantly." Magnar Thenn nodded, reluctantly.
"She needs our food and seems to be trustworthy." The Hornfoots leader next to her whispered to the Coast Clan leader.
"Yes, benevolence, righteousness and morality can deceive people, but the interests are eternal!" Tormund expressed oneself's point of view wisely.
Mance had the idea of surrendering to Dragon Queen as early as after the 'verbal battle'. Even if he saw the Queen's scheming, he just kept his face and said nothing, deep in one's heart even a little bit. Easy: oneself doesn't have to go to great lengths to convince them.
Barristan's faces were distorted, and they were holding their breath to watch Queen's performance.
"Then the second."
