Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 181 Strange Death
"Clang" This is the sound made by some kind of glassware colliding.

"Ton, ton, ton." This is the sound of two people lifting their necks and drinking hard, their throats rolling.

……

Heaving a sigh of relief, Clay put down the half-empty wine bottle in the still usable high tower of the Twin River City, stared at the birch-supported roof, and finally felt the long-lost relaxation.

Opposite him, the old man, Earl Wyman, was the same. When Clay left Westeros for Essos, the old man was actually very worried, but he couldn't stop Clay.

It is very clear that when the dragon is controlled by the Mandalay family, the whole family has only one way to go, and that is to become stronger, stronger, and stronger until it surpasses everyone.

This is a one-way street, but there is no chance to return, not even a chance to stop and rest.

Fortunately, now that Clay is back, he also brought back the answer he wanted to hear the most. The Targaryen family has completed a de facto marriage with the Manderly family, and the most worrying problem has been perfectly resolved. .

"Boy, let's talk about it, you and the mad king's daughter, really uh...you understand."

The old man made a hand gesture that any man could understand, and Clay understood what the old man meant. In this era, arranged marriages between nobles are too common. Among ten married couples, it is considered lucky that two teams agree with each other.

Under such a major premise, the old man did not expect any bloody things that you should not marry. As long as Clay and Daenerys Targaryen have completed the most critical step, it means that this is the case. field marriage is valid.

To a certain extent, isn't marriage a box that allows men and women to act legally, and the offspring they give birth to also have legal interests?

They are all men, and Clay is not a delicate prince raised in a palace. He doesn't know how many Lannister's heads have been chopped off. How can you expect him to show a shy expression on this kind of thing?
Nodding bluntly, Clay answered the old man's question very calmly:

"Well, Targaryen daughter's taste is very good, tsk, it seems that I have slept with many women..."

"Come on, that's all, your father is much better than you. When that kid was your age, he has already made a lot of fuss. I didn't restrict you in this aspect. You decide on your own, who is to blame? "

The old man had a raised beard and smelled heavily of alcohol. In this era, people get married very early. Although Clay's age is far from the standard of an old leftover man, compared to some noble boys, he is still considered slow.

On the bright side, he didn't even have a marriage contract, and the only Frey family that was rumored to be married to the young master of the Mandalay family was personally exterminated by this young master Clay Mandalay, which is really ruthless.

However, as Clay gets older day by day, the strength of the Mandalay family is also thriving. There are always some courageous people who want to climb the high branch of the Mandalay family and compete for the position of the mistress of the future Mandalay family. .

After crossing two regions, the size of the Mandalay family has far surpassed the average earl family. Although it can't catch up with the guardian duke family in charge of the first realm, not everyone can open their mouths.

In the Northern Territory, Earl Wyman originally planned to send his granddaughter Wilfield there, and the Duke and Duchess of the Stark family also agreed with his sitting method. This is a precursor to marriage. Use the position of a duchess to bind the increasingly powerful Mandalay family.

In this case, there is no reason for the Northern Territory to marry their daughter to Clay again. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't.

Then marry the eldest daughter, then the interests of the two families will be highly bound, which has not been done in Westeros for thousands of years.

And the rest is the Bolton family who claimed to be the "Red King" at the beginning, but was finally knocked down by Stark. Unfortunately, there is no suitable candidate for the old peeling.

The north is gone, so only the south is left. However, the Tully family in the Riverlands has no suitable candidates. Edmure Tully himself is not married, and Duke Hoster Tully is not of the same age as Ke Lei Xiangxiang's daughter, there is no other way.

The rest of the nobles of Sanhe said that they were really not qualified to discuss this matter with the Mandalay family. This was not about marriage with other sons or daughters of the family, and there were not so many interests involved.

This is the marriage of the heir of the family. In King's Landing, it is a matter of choosing who will be the queen.

Originally, Westeros was so big that there would always be someone suitable for Clay, but now it was a time of war, the Reach and the Stormlands were temporarily united, and it was impossible to marry Clay, a northerner.

As for Lannister, who do you expect Tywin to send?The husband to be married has Lannister's blood on his hands, what kind of marriage is this?

Myrcella?No matter what, the little girl is only ten years old, which is not impossible from the perspective of Westeros, but a mysterious force makes Clay definitely refuse such a thing!
The remaining women, by Gods, do you mean Cersei Lannister?It's strange that the kingslayer doesn't fight you hard.

It doesn't count if you win a battle on the battlefield, and if you snatch your own woman, don't kill people too hard, okay?
Therefore, there is no one for Clay to get married now, which just happened to block a lot of gossip for him. Nobles have no marriage contract when they reach a certain age. Unless there are unexpected circumstances, this must mean that the family has a big plan, no exceptions.

"Grandpa, what is the situation of the family now? I just came back from Dorne, and the information I heard is very complicated and fragmented."

Clay doesn't plan to talk about women with the old man anymore, he knows the nature of his old man very well, if we continue the chat, the old man will probably have to discuss the pose and duration with him.

"It's not good, Clay, I think you should understand that this war is not a good thing for the family, even if you are an outstanding commander on the battlefield."

The old man put away his unscrupulous smile, and his tone became serious. The current situation is really not good. The family has many plans to implement, and the things that are being implemented are forced to be terminated. The supplies are drawn out, and the conscription is carried out again.

"Understood, Lord Ed died at an inappropriate time. The gods summoned him too early. I guess the entire northern border is not ready yet. Winter is approaching, and this last period of food is very important."

"Yes, unless the Mandalay family can rely on the sea for supplies, the inland families must rely on their own food reserves, and Winterfell is no exception. But who can stop the Young Wolf Lord from avenging his father?"

Clay shook his head and didn't answer, this is an obvious thing, Ed Stark is dead, how did he die?Still the same sentence, in the warm south where wounds are easy to fester, it is fine, but suddenly it will not work in Winterfell. Without a reasonable explanation, it is impossible.

"Boy, tell me, did Lord Eddard Stark really die at the hands of Lannister? I remember that when I met him in the Twin River City, he was in good spirits."

The old man said with some hesitation that he didn't really believe that Robb Stark would attack his father, but Ed Stark's death was so strange that he couldn't help but doubt it.

Clay thought for a while, poured himself a glass of wine, drank a couple of sips, and said something slowly:

"I don't care, Grandpa, I really don't care. In fact, the current situation is that Lord Eddard Stark died, and he died at the hands of Lannister. He can only die at the hands of Lannister. .”

"Rob Stark has now worn the crown of King in the North, and unless we deny him as king, Eddard Stark must die at the hands of Lannister, and we, too Troops must be sent for King Robb Stark's vengeance."

Thunder exploded, and Clay looked up at the cloudy sky. It was about to rain.

With a long sigh, Earl Wyman poured himself a glass full of disappointment. After drinking vigorously, he threw the glass away and muttered in his mouth:
"What a shitty thing."

Clay understands the old man's feelings. The Manderly family has been following Stark's banner for thousands of years. Ed Stark's integrity is famous in the Seven Kingdoms, but his failure and even his death all have a taste of conspiracy .

This is the greatest irony of his upright life, the thing he hates and looks down on the most, but it actually kills him, it's useless.

"By the way, Clay, there are two things you might be interested in, would you like to hear about them?"

The old man seemed to have thought of something, raised his head, and said to Clay:
"I'm interested? Grandpa, tell me."

"Remember when you came to the Twin Rivers, someone ambushed our medicinal convoy?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"After accepting the Twin River City for a while, I discovered an interesting thing. The place where you found the ambush scene was next to the fief of a little knight, right?"

"Yes, there should be something wrong with that guy, but I didn't have the chance to investigate further later."

"It's not a problem, it's a big problem. I found out that not long after you left, that guy's entire family, including his manor, were all set ablaze by a mysterious fire. When the Frey family at that time sent When people went there, it was completely burned to ashes, and there was no one alive."
