Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King-Chapter 59: Starfall

Chapter 59 Starfall City

On the wharf outside Yangwu City, there are several merchant ships docked for loading and unloading goods.

On the mast of one of them hung a lavender banner with crossed swords and a shooting star—

This is the coat of arms of the Dane family, the lords of Starfall City.

"Boss, there is a master looking for you!"

Captain Gilmore walked out of the cabin reeking of alcohol, and shouted impatiently:

"Which master?"

"Don't know. He didn't say."

"He didn't say you can't see for yourself! Damn idiot!"

"But he doesn't have any family crest, what do I think?"

Gilmore frowned, cursed a few words in a low voice, but still got off the boat unsteadily.

Then, he saw the "Master" in the crew's mouth—a thin middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, with a small beard on his chin.

Although this person does not have any family coat of arms, the vicious Gilmore dares to bet all his wealth that he must be a nobleman.

Gilmore stepped forward with a smile on his face: "My lord, what are your orders?"

Petyr Baelish casually threw a silver deer, and asked without waiting for Gilmour to thank you:

"Your ship is bound for Starfall City?"

"Yes, sir, are you going to Starfall City too?"

"No, I'm going to Yingzui Island."

"Yingzui Island?" Gilmore touched his bald head suspiciously, "Sorry, sir, I don't think I've heard of this place before."

"It's just south of the estuary of the Turbulent River, across a bay from Starfall City. You will pass by on the way to Starfall City from here, but it will be a little bit off course. If possible, I would like to take your boat to , cost is not an issue.”

"It seems to be a bit of an impression..." Gilmore seemed to remember something, "However, master, I remember that there is a barren mountainous area, there is nothing, are you sure you want to go there?"

"Your information is outdated." Petyr showed a characteristic smile, "There is now a territory there."

"Territory?"

"Yes, the Duke of Metz canonized the pioneer knight, and Sir Samwell Caesar has established a territory there."

Hearing that the territory was established by the people of Hewan, Gilmore's face changed slightly.

Dorne and the Riverbend have a thousand-year feud. Although Gilmore often stops at the port of the Riverbend people for business reasons, as a Dornish man, his hostility towards the Riverbend people in his bones can never be erased.

"There is nothing but rocks in that place, the people of Hewan are crazy, are they going to develop there?"

"No one said anything, but there is a silver mine there."

"Silver mine?" Gilmore's eyes could not restrain the golden light.

"Yes. I heard that the territory has already begun to take shape, with tens of thousands of people."

"Tens of thousands of people..." Gilmore's expression gradually became serious, "That's really not small... When did this start, why didn't I hear anything about it?"

"It seems to be more than four months ago."

"There are tens of thousands of people in just four months?" Although Gilmore doesn't know how to develop, he also knows how amazing this speed is.

"Yes. That is a young and promising pioneer knight, and I am going to visit him. Can you take your ship?"

Giller restrained his mind, nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, sir. I just want to go there and see."

"Okay, when is your ship leaving?"

"Leave on time at noon, sir."

"Okay, then I'll go to the city first and come back later."

"Yes, sir."

Gilmore looked at Petyr's figure in the distance, suddenly slapped his head, and said to himself:

"I forgot to ask that master's name! Forget it, I'll ask him when he comes back, I don't know which family's master it is..."

After finishing speaking, Gilmore wobbled back to the boat.

…

The time came to noon.

Gillermo lay on the side of the boat, looking in the direction of Yangwu City, but he never saw the nobleman in the morning appearing again.

He thought that the other party was just delayed, so he decided to wait a little longer.

However, Gilmour didn't know that the noble lord he was waiting for had actually boarded a merchant ship bound for Braavos long ago and had already set sail.

As the sun gradually set, Gilmour's patience was finally completely exhausted.

He slammed the wine bottle in his hand onto the deck and shouted loudly:

"No more! Let's go!"

After setting sail, Gilmour could not help thinking while steering the rudder——

Why don't you drop by Yingzui Island?

…

Among the crimson mountains, a tall and majestic castle stands abruptly.

The head of the city with a lavender flag fluttering, with a crossed sword and a shooting star printed on it.

If you want to talk about the oldest family in Westeros, there may be some disputes, but if you want to talk about the oldest family in Dorne, it must be the Dane family in Starfall City.

According to legend, in the Dawn Era 10,000 years ago, the first Dane followed the fallen stars, came here, and built his own castle at the mouth of the Turbulent River.

His descendants ruled the mountainous area west of Dorne in the name of "King of the Rapid River" until the Martell family, which united the Rhoynar, conquered the whole of Dorne.

"Samwell Caesar?" Ser Uric Sand, acting lord of Starfall City, frowned tightly, "Which territory in the River Bend is Caesar a family? Why have I never heard of it?"

Gillmore stood cautiously in the hall and replied:

"My lord, I have inquired. This Sir Caesar is actually the eldest son of the Tarly family of Hornhill. He was later conferred a pioneering knight by the Duke of Metz before he went to Yingzui Island to develop."

"Hornhill, the Tully family..." Urik frowned even tighter, "Since he is the eldest son of the Tully family, why did he give up his right of inheritance and come out to develop?"

"This... this..."

Seeing Gilmore hesitating, Urik knew that the other party was also unclear: "Okay, you go down."

"Yes, sir."

After Gilmore left, Urik leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Although the territory of the Dane family includes the mountainous areas along the Turbulent River, to be more precise, they only have enough influence on the east side of the river. The people live on their own.

Not to mention that it is not along the Turbulent River at all, but is already in Yingzui Island, which is further south of the river's estuary.

However, the people of Hewan actually built a city in the crimson mountains, and it was still near the mouth of the Turbulent River, which made Urik nervous.

After all, it is not too far from Starfall City.

Samwell was also the name of a great turbulent river king in the history of the Dane family. This king nicknamed "Spark" once captured a large area of ??territory in the south of the river bend, even including Old Town.

Now, there is a Samwell in the river bend, what will he do?

Urik pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand to summon the attendant, and ordered:

"Send a few trustworthy merchant ship owners, let them also go to Yingzui Island, inquire about the situation there, and report back to me."

"Yes, my lord."
