The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]

In order to understand the current situation, Liu Yuan hurriedly asked: "Who is the king of Westeros now? How long has he been in office?"

Bandir was startled, as if he had not expected him to ask this question: "The current king! Of course it is His Majesty Aerys II Targaryen, who has been crowned for twenty years." Although he got the answer, it was a very unfamiliar name. Liu Yuan had no impression at all, what was the number of Daenerys's queen? What's more terrible is that these kings would give their children the names of their ancestors.

He had to learn about the history of Westeros when he had a chance. The key point was that he was illiterate and couldn't understand the history book even if it was placed in front of him. Liu turned his attention to Bandir again.

In fact, Bandil had always said that he planned to take Liu Yuan as his page. Pages can also be called wine servers. After a boy becomes a page, he will follow a knight, who is his master and teacher. Many knights and lords will let their children follow relatives or allies, and let other pages follow themselves. The job of a page is very simple, just running errands for the knight. After getting the approval of the knight, they will be taught important combat skills, such as jousting and swordsmanship. Generally, they use a special training blunt sword (a wooden sword with an iron core) for training.

Generally speaking, when boys grow up (usually when they reach puberty), they stop being page boys and become squires. After several years of instruction, squires learn how to protect and use weapons, armor, and horses, and also learn the spirit of chivalry.

During wars, squires would follow their masters into battle. They helped the knights prepare their equipment and fought side by side. Some squires did not become knights, and thus remained squires their entire lives. This could be because they could not adapt to the knights' lifestyle, or because they did not have the money to buy equipment.

The key point is that Liu Yuan knew that this knight of common origin was poor! He couldn't even get his own equipment together, so how could he have the spare money to support a servant? He probably wanted to find a servant with blacksmith skills to run errands for him on weekdays and help him make equipment in his spare time.

Murton was also a family of earls, and Adrian had to visit them in person out of courtesy. He was preparing a gift when the invitation from Maiden Spring arrived. Earl William Murton held a banquet in the castle and invited Earl Adrian and his family to be guests. The lord brought his family and two vassals to the banquet, and the people below naturally began to move freely. Bandier and Old Parker agreed to go to the city. Looking at their wretched faces, you don't have to guess where they went.

Liu Yuan, of course, had to guard the luggage in the camp. He was alone there, thinking. What should I do next? He held a branch in his hand and gestured on the ground. What is certain is that the Targaryen family is still in power, but I don't know if there are any dragons still alive?

Liu Yuan remembered that Eddard Stark had said to the dragon bones in the dragon cave that dragons had been extinct for more than 100 years. Oh, yes. There is also the Stark family in the North. Can you ask if there is a person named Eddard Stark? And Robert Baratheon. Only after the timeline is determined can the next plan be made. In feudal society, it is natural to become a lord to have a future, but as a bastard, it is difficult for me to stand out in the Celtigar family. Unless I find an opportunity to kill Becot Celtigar, and then kill all the heirs in the family, and follow the path of Ramton the Little Skinner.

Or they could follow the common customs in Westeros and become a maester in the Citadel or a night watchman at the Wall. The best way out was to become a knight, even a hired knight. In theory, all nobles and knights were eligible to knight another knight. Usually, when a squire came of age, if his master thought he was qualified to become a knight, he would be knighted.

Even if one did not grow up in the knight system, one could be canonized due to outstanding performance, such as brave soldiers and meritorious minor figures. After becoming a knight, their social status would immediately be raised by one level.

The only other option is to venture into the East Continent. You don't have any special requirements for status. But it's still a slave society there, and the situation is even more complicated. At least you have to grow up, otherwise what if you are captured and made a slave? The worst is to be sent to be an Unsullied. The most important thing now is to learn the language of Westeros and understand the local history and geography. Just as he was thinking about it, he felt sleepy and yawned loudly. Alas, this body that is always sleepy cannot adapt to high-intensity labor. Grow up quickly! It will be fine when you grow up.

The next day, the servants and soldiers who had gone to Yuquan Town to fool around returned to the camp. They boasted to their companions about their experiences the previous night. It was nothing more than which place had the best wine, which place had the most coquettish women, and so on. Soon it was time for lunch. Ordinary people in Westeros only had two meals a day, lunch and dinner, and only some nobles would have breakfast and afternoon tea. The camp's chef would prepare simple food, vegetable soup and wheat cakes (because there was no oven, they were directly baked on the iron plate without fermentation). Liu Yuan took the food for two people, although it was unpalatable, he would store some food from time to time.

Bandier and Old Parker came back together. From the greasy look on their lips, it can be seen that they had lunch in the city. Whether it was the knights, attendants, or servants, they all returned before and after lunch. Sure enough, not long after, Count Adris and his family came back, and they gave orders to set off without any rest. Although this road is a rammed earth road, it is also an extension of the river road. As an important commercial road in the kingdom, it is well built. The road is wide enough for three four-wheeled carriages to run in parallel.

The population along this road is obviously dense, and civilians can be seen coming and going from time to time. The class system in this world is quite strict. The passing noble convoys have to move to the sides of the road. Those who dare not look directly at the nobles have to take off their hats and bow their heads.

After two more days on this road, the convoy drove onto a road paved with slabs and gravel. Old Parker told Liu Yuan: "This road is the King's Road, and it is also an important road that runs through the north and south of Westeros. From here to the south is King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. If you go north, you will reach the East City of Winterfell in the North. If you continue to go north, you will reach the Black Castle of the Wall, which is the base of the Night's Watch. If you go west, you will reach the River Road, and you will reach Riverrun along the Trident. Not far southwest of here is God's Eye Lake, and the destination of this trip, Harrenhal, is on the north shore of the lake."

A few hours later, a turquoise water area was indeed seen. Liu Yuan made a simple visual assessment and found that this was a large freshwater lake, which was almost endless. My goodness, this must be thousands of square kilometers of water (almost four West Lakes). He found an opportunity to jump off the carriage, quickly ran to the lake, stretched out his hand and scooped up a handful of lake water. The water of Shenyan Lake was turquoise and clear. Moreover, the water flow was warm. The lake should have been formed by volcanic activity, and there might be an underground hot spring as one of the water sources. There were a large group of black swans playing on the lake. Looking up, there seemed to be an island in the middle of the lake. Liu Yuan roughly estimated that it might not be smaller than the area of ​​Crab Island.

The convoy walked a short distance along the lake and arrived at the town of Heron, which was quite large. Behind the town was a magnificent castle, located on the northern shore of Lake God's Eye. It was known as the largest fortress in the Seven Kingdoms, and the towering heavy walls were like steep cliffs. Liu Yuan had good eyesight and could clearly see from the ground the catapults that looked like little bugs on the battlements at the top of the wall.

There are five very tall towers in the castle. Because the view is blocked by the towering walls, only the tops of the five towers can be seen. But according to Liu Yuan's observation, none of those towers are intact.
