GOT : Battle Royale[ An ASOIAF Fanfiction]

"Why does it have to be a foreign knight?"

"I don't know this, but Ser Wilder did give this order. If you are willing to accept this task, I can take you to find them tomorrow."

"Take us to find them?" Ian's heart rang with alarm, and he gave Roll a look, signaling him to close the door.

This was so damn suspicious. In order to annihilate a gang of thieves that was not mentioned in the original work, an alliance formed by a group of knights asked the proprietress of the Crossroads Inn to help them keep an eye on 'foreign knights'.

You must know that according to the characteristics of players appearing out of thin air, they were regarded as "foreign knights" wherever they went at this point in time. This made Martha's entire story look like a trap to ensnare other players.

Although it was impossible for any player to establish such a large force on the first day of the game, the so-called Alliance of Property Knights was just what Martha said, and Ian hadn't actually seen it.

Maybe this was just a trick made up by a player who had set up this trap to lower the target's vigilance.

After getting Ian's signal, Roll immediately stood up and closed the door of the room.

"This? Ser Lucien?" This surprised Martha. She glanced at Roll strangely. "Three sirs, if you are in need, there are many good girls in our store. I can go and wake them up right now."

"Don't worry, we are not interested in you or your good girls," Ian shook his head gently. "I am interested in those knights you talk about."

"Ser Wilder and the others?"

"Yeah, Wilder, or whatever it is, it doesn't matter," Ian shrugged. "Where are they?"

"Ser Wilder and the others? They are all in Ser Willy Ward's manor at the moment."

"The manor of the Ward family?" Ian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the other party was also in this inn and was ready to strike first.

Unexpectedly, Martha said that they were not here, and also gave a specific name.

He had heard of the Ward family. This was a knight family loyal to the River House of Harrenhal. Its fiefdom was indeed not far from here. Their family emblem was three white dogs on a yellow background. Porcupine, their native language, was "untouchable".

As for the Ser Willy Ward that Martha spoke of, in the original book, he would help Catelyn Tully arrest the "little devil" Tyrion Lannister in this inn and escort them to the valley.

"Yes, Ser Willy's manor is on the border between the Riverlands and the King's Territory, less than half a day's ride from here," Martha continued quickly.

"And when you said that I would take us to find them tomorrow, you meant going to their manor?"

"Yes, that's what Ser Wilder ordered. He asked me to help him summon as many knights from out of town as possible within a week," Martha nodded and told everything she knew in a very cooperative manner, although she didn't know why, she instinctively felt a sense of oppression from the knight in front of her.

"I hope you're not playing any tricks on me," Ian said, thinking about the possibilities.

"Trick? Sorry, Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"Do you know the knight named Wilder?"

"I know, Ser Wilder Reg is the local lord, how could I not know him?" Martha said quickly.

Local lord? I remember this should be Darry.

No, although this place was historically the territory of the Darry family, after the fall of the Targaryen dynasty, most of the Darry family's territory was deprived of it. It seemed that the crossroads was later given to the Regal family? The original book does mention that there is such a knight family in the Riverlands.

However, experience told Ian that the more true it sounded, the more likely it was that the player made it up.

"You're lying!" Ian slammed the table, and at this moment he made up a new story.

"What are you talking about, Sir?" Martha looked frightened and confused.

"We are here to hunt down a fugitive who ran away from King's Landing. He is a robber who used this method to ambush and kill other knights under the guise of issuing a mission!" Ian said while observing Martha's reaction.

"Eh?" Martha blinked. "You just said clearly that you are not busy. Since you still have tasks, I won't disturb you?"

"Not long ago they killed a knight of our Lannister family in the tavern of King's Landing, a young knight who was deeply loved by the queen," Ian did not respond to Martha, but continued. "The queen was very angry. She offered a bounty of 50 gold dragons for the fugitive, and for providing a clue, you can get 100 silver stags."

"Oh!" Martha screamed and quickly covered her mouth.

"We chased him all the way to the vicinity of here. If he came here, it would be today. Have you seen a similar guy? If you can provide me with really valuable clues, I can share half of the bounty with you," Ian said as he placed 20 golden dragons on the table one by one.

"Is that today?" Martha looked at the golden dragons on the table with bright eyes and swallowed her saliva.

"So you've really seen it?" Ian's eyes narrowed.

"Oh, no, no, I haven't seen such a person today." Martha reluctantly looked away from the golden dragons, shook her head with some disappointment, and then immediately added, "But I can help you find out, Ser Lucien!

"I know a lot of people, and the most informed people here are my old friends. Give me a little time. As long as they are around here, I can give you an answer before noon tomorrow. Moreover, I can help you find people not just around here, but on the entire north shore of Divine Eye Lake. As long as they enter this area, I can find clues!"

"Oh, by the way," Martha seemed to have remembered something she had overlooked. "Do you have any characteristics of the fugitive you are chasing? Maybe you can be more detailed, which will be very helpful for me to help you find someone."

So I am the one who is the enemy of everything? Seeing Martha's reaction, Ian finally gave up his doubts and laughed sarcastically.

If what Martha said just now was really taught by a certain player, she would definitely betray them without hesitation in exchange for the golden dragons on the table, instead of promising to help her find out tomorrow.

Well, since Ser Wilder and the others are not players, then their request to recruit foreign knights must be for some other reason, so I can accept their mission.

Wait, did I miss the point?

MARTHA What did she just say?
