Game of Thrones: Dawn of Justice

Chapter 3: Dusk ends, dawn approaches

Looking at the sword of the Maid of Justice emitting a faint green glow, and the dawn dividing line at the sword's edge that was faintly visible like the dawn sky, Garlon's heart beat faster.

Cutting rocks is like clearing rotten wood. Will it be the same when cutting steel swords and armor?
If this is true, then his performance on the battlefield in the future will probably be extremely terrifying!
At this time, Earl Selwyn was also frightened by the sharpness of the "Maid of Justice", and he also reacted completely.

"Garon, this is... the Maid of Justice?"

Lord Selwyn asked with a trembling voice, hoarseness and rapid breathing.

His heart was pounding, and it seemed like it would explode from his chest at any moment.

He named his eldest son "Garlon Tas" because he wanted to use the name of the legendary hero "Morning Light Garlon" to bless his eldest son.

But he never expected that his eldest son would actually find the holy sword "Maid of Justice" that had been lost for thousands of years.

This is a weapon bestowed by the Seven Gods!

What does it mean to own the holy sword "Maiden of Justice" and the name "Garon"?
Lord Selwyn couldn't imagine it.

He asked this question as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Garlon heard his father's voice, turned around, and nodded seriously, "Yes, father, I found it in the cave and pulled it out."

Garlon knew that if he had not traveled through time, his original body would have surely died.

Because in the original book, Brienne clearly mentioned that when she was four years old, her brother, who was four years older than her, died of drowning.

Perhaps in the original book, Garlon was lucky enough to discover this holy sword and pulled it out, but it was a pity that it failed to float to the surface of the sea, so the holy sword was still buried deep in the sea.

But now his time travel has changed everything.

Garlon "survived" and the holy sword reappeared in the world.

The House of Tarth is no longer supported by a single girl, Brienne.

"show me!"

Earl Selwyn stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to see the gorgeous holy sword in his son's hand.

However, as soon as he touched the sword, he immediately retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"hiss--"

Earl Selwyn looked at his fingertips in surprise and found a red wound as if burned, with a wisp of smoke coming out.

Severe pain came from the fingertips.

Earl Selwyn stared at the Maid of Justice in Garlon's hand with wide eyes, as if thinking about something.

"Master, the Holy Sword chooses its master!" Claude reminded.

Earl Selwyn did not feel unhappy at all because of the pain in his fingertips. Instead, his face showed an even more obvious joy.

"Claude, you try it too!"

Lord Selwyn said immediately.

"Yes, sir."

Butler Claude also stepped forward and tried to touch the sword of the "Maid of Justice". In an instant, his hand shrank back as if it had been electrocuted.

The moment he touched the sword, he felt a burning pain.

He raised his hand and saw an obvious burn wound. There were no blisters, but it was extremely painful.

"Master, it's really the holy sword!" Butler Claude said ecstatically.

If he believed it 80% before, he believed it 100% now!
This is definitely the legendary "Maid of Justice", the holy sword bestowed by the "Pure Maid" among the Seven Gods.

Garlon was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this holy sword would only be touched by him. Once others touched it, they would feel burning and severe pain.

The artifact is indeed extraordinary.

Garlon glanced at the knights and guards kneeling around him, their faces filled with fervor, and plunged his sword into the sand. Without much effort, a third of the blade sank into the gravel, making a crisp sound.

"You try it too." Garen ordered.

The knights and guards looked at each other and swallowed. They all wanted to touch the legendary holy sword, but they didn't dare.

"Didn't you hear what the young master said? Go and try it!" Earl Selwyn also realized something at this moment and immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

The knights and guards immediately stood up nervously, taking turns to step forward and touch the hilt of the "Maid of Justice".

Some stretched out their fingers to touch it, while others tried to grasp the hilt.

But without exception, the moment they touched, they immediately felt pain as if they had touched lightning and magma, and they suddenly retracted their hands and cried out in pain.

However, none of them showed any expression of frustration or displeasure. Instead, they were filled with shock and enthusiasm.

When everyone had burns on their hands, big or small, their gazes towards Garlon completely changed.

Garlon pulled up the Maid of Justice from the ground again. He knew that from now on, no one would question this holy sword.

At least on Tasmania, no one would question whether he was putting on a show anymore.

"Let's go back to the castle!"

There was no longer any gloom or fear on Earl Selwyn's face, only the unconcealable joy and smile remained.

"Yes!"

The guards responded loudly, their morale high, and their voices echoed on the sea breeze.

They all realized that this might be the most memorable and bragging moment of their lives.

The burn marks on their hands will be permanent medals and honors.

Earl Selwyn found a leather sheath from the guards and asked Garlon to wrap the "Maid of Justice" in it. Then he picked up Garlon, mounted his horse and returned.

Butler Claude returned on horseback, carrying Brienne in his arms.

The group hurried back to Duskfall Castle.

Duskfall Hall sits on a hill on the west coast of Tarth, facing the Gulf of Tarth and overlooking the sapphire-like calm sea. Across the Gulf of Tarth lies the renowned Storm's End, home to House Baratheon.

The Mulin Hall Castle is made of gray stone, with tough and rugged walls that have been eroded by sea breezes. The towering "Dusk Star Tower" points to the sky like a sentinel. The family emblem on the top of the tower - a copper piece with the golden sun and blue moon shining together, is mottled with green rust, telling of a thousand years of history.

Earl Selwyn brought Garlon back to the castle. Old maester Amo was already waiting in the courtyard. When he saw Earl Selwyn holding Garlon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My Lord, I have arranged for the fireplace to be lit and hot soup to be prepared."

Maester Amo immediately said to Earl Selwyn, who dismounted and carried Garlon down.

He didn't know about the "Holy Sword" at this time, so he was a little puzzled as to why the atmosphere around Earl Selwyn, Claude, and a group of knights and guards was a little strange and not solemn at all. Everyone even had eagerness on their faces and shining eyes.

Lord Selwyn nodded immediately and took Garen, the steward and Brienne into the hall and to the fireplace.

Claude and Maester Amor helped Garlon take off his wet clothes, wrapped him in a thick wool blanket, and warmed him by the fire.

Claude's breathing became stagnant when he saw Garlon put the holy sword aside.

Scholar Yamo was a little surprised. He wondered when the young master got such a beautiful sword.

However, he did not pay too much attention to it. The maid brought a bowl of hot soup for Garlon to drink in small sips. The hot soup was added with meatballs, jujubes and mint, which could warm up the body and prevent coughs.

After some operations, Garlon finally felt his body warm up and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

Brienne was small, and she kept stretching out her chubby little hands to add firewood to the fireplace, thinking that this would make the fire burn more vigorously and make her brother get better soon.

Garen looked at his little sister and couldn't help but reach out and hold her in his arms.

Unlike her adoptive brother in her previous life who was not close to him at all, Brienne was very dependent on and close to him. After discovering that her brother seemed to have recovered, she happily crawled into the wool blanket wrapped in Garlon, with only her head sticking out from Garlon's chest.

Seeing the closeness between the brother and sister, Sir Selwyn smiled slightly. He looked at the holy sword "Maiden of Justice" that Garlon had placed aside, and reached out to pick up the sword.

But this time, Earl Selwyn learned his lesson and only touched the leather sheath.

Holding it in his hand, Earl Selwyn felt its heavy weight, and he even needed two hands to barely hold it horizontally.

Earl Selwyn looked surprised. The weight was at least 30-40 pounds, far exceeding the weight of a normal two-handed sword.

Yet, just now at Cape Morn, Garlon had been able to wield the sword with ease. Perhaps this was the magic of the Holy Sword. He was not its master, so he felt an unusual weight on his shoulders.

Lord Selwyn examined the circle of inscriptions on the hilt of the sword carefully.

It clearly reads on it - Just Maid.

call--!
Earl Selwyn put down his sword, took a long breath, and stared blankly at the family emblem above the fireplace - a pattern consisting of two suns on a red background and two moons on a blue background, in a daze.

For thousands of years.

The Stark family was glorious, the Baratheon family was glorious, the Lannister family was glorious, and the Gardener family was glorious.

Even the Tyrells, once a commoner family, have become the Lords of Highgarden and own the entire Riverlands.

And what about their Tas family?

It has been a long time since it has left a significant mark in the history of the continent of Westeros.

Long ago, the patriarch of their Tas family was honored as "Evening Star." Now no one remembers him, nor does anyone bother to call him that.

"Twilight ends, and dawn is coming."

The family motto came to Lord Selwyn's mind.

Perhaps, Garlon is the dawn of House Tarth.
