Chapter 208 Attendant
Seeing his younger brother Dickon come back to life with his own eyes, Samwell was very excited.
But besides being excited, he was also faintly worried.
Because according to the original book, the resurrection technique of the Lord of Light is actually flawed.
For example, "Lightning King" Beric Dondarrion, he will lose a piece of memory every time he is resurrected. As for "Lady Stoneheart" Caitlin Tully, after his resurrection, he becomes a walking dead who only knows revenge.
So, what price did Dickon pay after being resurrected?
"His injury hasn't healed yet, so he can't salute your lords." Mrs. Melissa supported her son and apologized to everyone on his behalf.
"It's good that it's okay. It's a good thing for young people to suffer some setbacks on the battlefield." Earl Landau said lightly.
But anyone who is familiar with him can tell that the Earl of Horn Hill is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
In fact, after Dickon died in battle, Sir Hale Hunter sent someone to deliver the news to his lord immediately.
After the Red Comet, Dickon came back from the dead, and Sir Hale was also very frightened, so he hurriedly sent someone back to Horn Hill to deliver the letter.
So Earl Landau did receive news of his son's death.
Later, when he received a letter saying that Dickon was alive again, Earl Randall's mood really cannot be described in words.
While he was yelling at Haile Hunter for being unreliable, he couldn't even tell whether he was dead or alive, and at the same time, he specially asked his wife to bring someone to meet him and confirm by the way.
He himself seemed to be as stable as an old dog in the territory, but in fact he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
Now seeing that his son is fine, Earl Landau is finally relieved.
With the support of his mother, Dickon stepped forward to greet his father, but there was no joy in his eyes as if he had seen each other for a long time, but there was a lot of confusion and confusion hidden in his eyes.
The tone of greeting is also unfamiliar.
"Brother!" Dickon suddenly became very excited when he saw Samwell, "How did you manage to escape from the siege of the Dornishmen? And the Red Viper, you actually killed him! Too Great! And Joffrey... Oh, and the dragon! Brother, where's your dragon?"
Samwell rubbed his brother's hair and said with a smile:
"Cleopatra went hunting in the woods."
Every time Samwell and Margaery were alone, he would send the white dragon out to hunt.
It's not that I'm worried about Bailong disturbing the two of them, but I just think that the little guy should eat more when he is growing up...
"Then when it comes back, can I touch it?"
"sure."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Melissa persuaded her younger son, "Don't worry about these, your injury hasn't healed yet, go back to the room and lie down."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Melissa hugged her eldest son who had been reunited after a long absence, and left a heavy kiss on Samwell's cheek.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone entered the castle.
Earl Randall had ordered his servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.
The roaring fire in the fireplace dispelled the autumn chill, and the air was filled with the smell of roast meat and freshly baked bread.
The gray stone walls of the banquet hall are hung with the flags of Horn Hill, Yingzui Island, Liangshui City, and Jinshu City.
A gaudy troubadour strums a lute and sings a ballad, which is alas, muffled by the noise of clinking glasses and drunken conversation.
The second son of Earl Matus, Noah Rowan was only thirteen years old. This time he followed his father to conquer Dorne. This was his first time on the battlefield. Everything he saw shocked the young man.
Especially that Baron Caesar.
This person does everything like the heroes of nursery rhymes.
He looked at the Baron Yingzuiyu sitting on the high platform with reverence. The other party was wearing a sky blue silk gown, black straight breeches, and a smile as sharp as a blade on his face.
Noah found that he could hardly take his eyes off the baron, and his mind was turning over and over again, the scene where the baron was holding the flaming giant sword that fell from the sky, killing the hateful false king.
This is what a king should look like!
The Rowan family boy thought so.
And dragons.
Especially dragons!
What Noah saw the most was the white dragon perched on Samwell's shoulder.
The milky white scales reflected a strange gleam under the candlelight, the translucent wings disturbed the air, rolling up misty mist, and the bright red blood-like eyes scanned the audience, just in line with Noah's gaze bump.
The white dragon flapped its wings and roared silently.
Noah looked away in a panic as if struck by lightning, as if he could smell sulfur in his nose.
He took a big sip of wine, only to feel his heart pounding as if it was going to jump out of his throat.
Now Noah didn't dare to look around.
Just kept drinking until he heard a gasp.
As soon as he looked up, Noah saw that the white dragon had stood on his table at some point, stretching out its long snake-like neck to pick up the roast chicken on the plate.
Noah's brain was blank, and all the sounds in his ears seemed to become extremely distant, blurred as if separated by a world.
In the field of vision, there is only this strange white dragon that is not like a mortal creature, but exudes a breath-taking aura.
"Cleopatra." A deep voice sounded, "Come back."
Bailong waved his wings and flew back to his master, not forgetting to take the roast chicken away.
The scorching air hit Noah's face, making him unable to recover for a long time.
It wasn't until the knight around him reminded him that Baron Yingzuiyu was apologizing to him that Noah suddenly stood up to return the salute, stuttering when he was nervous.
Earl Matus let out a loud laugh and said:
"Sam, this is my youngest son, Noah. Ever since I saw you cut down four white knights with a sword at the banquet in Tianji City, I have completely become your admirer. On the way here, I told me to Become your attendant. How about it, can this kid lead the horse for you?"
Samwell froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "It's my honor."
The servants of Quanyou World are not simply holding horses and swords, serving as servants for their masters.
This is an important relationship that is more similar to a master-student relationship.
The attendants do need to lead horses, hold weapons, and maintain equipment for the knight, but the knight will also teach the attendants fighting skills, the way of chivalry, and if they are a great lord, they will also teach the attendants how to rule.
In the future, the master will also confer knighthood on the servants.
So the children of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms will be proud to serve as attendants to the great lords or famous knights.
More importantly, this is also a political statement that is almost second only to marriage.
Earl Matus asked his second son to serve as Samwell's attendant in public, so Yingzui Island and Jinshu City had a closer and more reliable connection.
"Okay!" Earl Matus laughed again, waved to his younger son, and said, "Come on, Noah, from today onwards, you will follow Lord Caesar well."
"Yes, Father!" Noah blushed excitedly, stepped forward to salute Samwell solemnly, and couldn't help taking a peek at the white dragon.
It's a pity that Bai Long is busy dealing with the roast chicken snatched from his plate, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to him.
Samwell accepted a new attendant, and he was unavoidably proud while being happy.
After all, he is the second son of Golden Tree Rowan. It stands to reason that Samwell, as the Baron of Eagle Mouth Island, is not qualified to accept such an attendant.
But Earl Matus took the initiative to send his son here.
This is not only because of the "Anti-Lion Alliance" organized by Earl Landau this time, but also because of the Earl of Jinshucheng's recognition of Samwell's status.
Even if he is just a little baron, Samwell can now stand on an equal footing with these great lords of the river bay, relying on his prestige on the battlefield and a white dragon.
Halfway through the banquet, the servants removed the long table in the middle of the hall, leaving an open space, and the musicians played cheerful songs.
Margaret took Samwell's hand, smiled and said:
"Come on, Sam, let's go dancing!"
"good."
