The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]
Chapter 9 The World of Ice and Fire
Regardless of how busy Old Parker was, Liu Yuan just did his part. As long as the time was up, he would fall asleep. He didn't care even if there was a fire outside. Although the old man kept complaining, they still prepared everything they needed. The next morning, servants from the castle came to load the carriage. They were assigned a relatively large four-wheeled carriage. Liu Yuan also noticed that there was an auxiliary steering rudder on the carriage.
After lunch, the Earl of Ayadrian, who everyone was waiting for, appeared in the spotlight. In addition, his wife, Kelly, was said to be a noble lady from the Reach. She was holding a little girl, Lyanna Celtigar, who was about three or four years old, and followed by the Earl's eldest son, Becot Celtigar. Before getting on the car, the Earl glanced at him with a scrutinizing look.
There were thirty carriages in their group, and more than forty servants and craftsmen were accompanying them. However, there were only twenty guards, and only six cavalrymen. Many people, including the guards, walked. Liu Yuan, as an important blacksmith apprentice and young, naturally rode in a carriage. Although the carriage was full of ironware and made him uncomfortable, it was better than walking.
The castle is very close to the port, less than two kilometers away. This is Liu Yuan's first time to the port. The port is well built, with wide roads paved with stone slabs, which can accommodate dozens of large ships at the same time. Fishermen can be seen everywhere, selling freshly caught seafood. Liu Yuan saw a sea fish that looked like a Spanish mackerel, more than two meters long, and was sold for only nine copper coins. However, the locals prefer fresh oysters. The people in the convoy bought some oysters from the roadside, just like eating snacks, and they sucked them into their stomachs with a "slurp". It was also very cheap and one copper coin could buy a bunch.
Because the dock was built high, their carriages could drive directly onto the ship. This was a wide, flat-bottomed merchant ship. Although it was slow, it was very stable and could enter inland waterways. The flat-bottomed ship had a large space inside and was mainly used as a transport ship. As for the lord, of course he wanted to ride on that beautiful three-dimensional sailing ship.
At this time, there were already many people waiting at the dock. They were knights of the Celtigar family. They were different from Bandir who had just been promoted. They were all property knights, that is, they had fiefs. So they would bring one or two squires with them. In fact, the squires of knights were also part of the military force of the feudal lords. The Celtigar family had always been low-key and had always pursued a policy of "strong trunk and weak branches". There were only two vassals, and the others were promoted knights, and their experiences were similar to Sir Bandir.
Crab Island is very close to the mainland, located in the port on the east coast of Crab Claw Peninsula. It is well built and is the fief of Baron Rossini. The Rossini family is one of the few vassals of the Setiga family. The baron personally led people to join the team. Crab Claw Peninsula is not actually rich. The center of the peninsula is a dense jungle, which occupies nearly 70% of the land. There is not much land suitable for farming, so there are almost no powerful families on the peninsula.
The convoy went to the ruins of Whispering Castle, which was once the home castle of the Crabbe family. It is an old, dilapidated, abandoned castle, standing on the top of a cliff, overgrown with weeds. The castle is built of ancient rocks, and from the mottled marks on it, it seems that it has been painted with mortar or other colors. Thick moss grows between the cracks in the rocks, the walls on the edge of the cliff have collapsed, and trees have emerged from the foundation of the ground. Fifty feet below the rubble, waves surge into a dilapidated old lighthouse. It is called "Whispering Castle" because the sea water erodes holes under the cliff, and when the waves pass through the underground holes and passages, they make a rumbling sound. These are what Sir Bandir told Liu Yuan. According to him, the castle has been abandoned for more than a thousand years.
Liu Yuan was very puzzled by this. The main part of the castle was still intact. For a poor person like Bandil, as long as he slightly repaired the ruins and put them into use, he could save a lot of money. How could it be that more than a thousand years had passed and it had been abandoned like this, with no one living here?
The team built a camp outside the ruins, and under the Earl's order, they rested here for two days. During this period, more and more people joined. They were all knights who were in a relatively long distance. With their joining, the team of the Celtigar family directly reached more than 100 people. There were two barons and 17 knights, and 58 knight attendants. Liu Yuan also understood why the Earl only brought more than 20 guards. With so many knights armed, it was enough to ensure safety.
These knight attendants were skilled warriors, which was also a feature of the knight system. Bandier was not used to the change of identity and still retained some habits from his previous mercenary career. He and Old Parker got along surprisingly well, and they often got together to drink, brag, and talk about women in the East Continent.
After staying near Whispering Castle for two days, the team set out again under the order of the Earl. However, they first detoured to the northeast, passed through the forest and came to the vicinity of Terror Cave Castle on the northern coast of Crab Claw Peninsula. From a distance, you can see three crooked towers on the towering cliffs by the sea. That is the land of the Brun family, and the Baron of Terror Cave Castle appointed by the king. The team did not enter the Brun family's territory, but turned west to a flat road. Suddenly, a large team appeared, which naturally aroused the vigilance of Terror Cave Castle. Soon, soldiers rode over to check, and when they learned that it was the Celtigar family's convoy passing by, they hurried back to report.
The convoy continued to move forward for about a day, and then they saw a city that looked very large from a distance. It was protected by walls on all four sides, at least five times the size of Crabshell Castle. Seeing that Liu Yuan was interested, Bandier introduced him: "That is Maiden Spring Town, the territory of the Earl of Murton. It is also the most prosperous town along the coast of Crab Bay, and the business here is extremely developed. Many northern merchants enter the riverlands and the crown territory from here. Do you see the road to the south? It is called Duskdale Road. Go south from there, passing Duskdale City, and you will reach King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms."
"King's Landing", a name that rarely appears in Western culture, was like a flash of lightning, connecting the dots in Liu Yuan's mind, and he realized that he was in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. Even his previous weird appearance, silver-gold hair and purple eyes, was a typical Valyrian look. "Dragon Mother" Daenerys Targaryen and his useless brother had this appearance. It was just that the costumes in the TV series were not obvious, so he didn't recognize them.
Damn it, this world is more dangerous than I imagined. The White Walkers in the Land of Eternal Winter, the dragons flying in the sky, the R'hllor priests who play with fire, the wizards and shadowbinders in the Land of Shadows.
Liu Yuan knew that he was so vulnerable now, he must not waste time, he must continue to survive. He had to figure out the current timeline first, then he would know how to deal with it. If a war was to break out in Westeros, then he would have to go to the East Continent for refuge as soon as possible.
