The final result was that Arthur had all the lamb chops, while the six Mallisters ordered the inferior boiled chicken.
After seeing Arthur's handsomeness, Patrick took the initiative to make concessions and apologize.
What Arthur didn't expect was that the so-called proud heir of Haijiang City actually ran to his table to eat together.
We are all from Hejian, so we should get to know each other. These were Patrick's original words.
Compared with when he walked in, his attitude had completely changed 180 degrees.
Of course, Arthur ignored him.
Good-looking dogs are not a good thing.
If he hadn't had such a handsome face, I might have had a fight today.
"Look at this temperament and demeanor, he looks like a direct noble from Shili City."
After the meal, Patrick boasted even more, as if Arthur was Genos's own son.
"Stay away from me." Arthur glanced at him.
Of course, the original intention of the Lord of Moulin Rouge was to intimidate, and what Patrick realized was "you can follow me."
After paying the landlady two silver stags, Arthur insisted on getting change.
He wasn't stingy to this extent, it was just that the thought of the landlady running up to him earlier and asking if he could make concessions made Arthur feel uncomfortable.
It's as if I look easy to bully.
After the seventeen people rested, they set off again. If they hurried quickly, they would be able to go home at some point between evening and midnight.
But there were obviously six more companions on the road.
Patrick and his attendant servants.
Since it was not Arthur's territory, he could not drive away the nobleman who had attached himself to it.
"Let's speed up and get rid of them." After being annoyed by the sticky candies in Haijiang City, Arthur made a right decision.
"Why are you leaving us? I also want to ask you to watch the tourney together! Do you know that it is the tourney held by the new Prime Minister Duke Ed? With the relationship between the king and him, this tourney will definitely be better than the prince's name day.
The tourney is more interesting and the prize money will be greater."
Patrick drove his horse beside him, chattering.
Arthur knew that the prince's nameday tourney he was talking about was the tourney of Prince Joffrey that had just passed.
The name day is the birthday, because of the custom of the Andals, you must have a name when you are born. On the contrary, the savages do not have the act of naming on the day they are born.
Of course Arthur knew about Ed's tourney.
In fact, based on his knowledge of Game of Thrones, he even remembered that the hound Sandor Clegane won this championship and received a reward of 40,000 gold dragons, and the runner-up also received 20,000 gold dragons.
The champion of team close combat is also worth 20,000 gold dragons, and the archery champion is worth 10,000 gold dragons, for a total of 90,000 gold dragons.
Wait, bonus.
Arthur actually forgot about this. Except for the 20,000 that the runner-up could not get, the remaining 70,000 gold dragons could be obtained by himself.
This is not to blame for his forgetfulness, but most of the nobles around the north bank of the Red Fork River have no contact with Arthur. Earl Janos of Stonehedge City does not go to such meetings, and Hendry is not with him.
In the social circle, the news is not very well-informed.
Arthur didn't feed the messenger crows either, so the news came from word of mouth.
If he can get these 70,000 golden dragons, what about armors and weapons?
Even a set of customized large plate armors in King's Landing is enough to buy thousands of sets.
At that time, the only ones who need to worry are the masters of the blacksmith shop.
They had to worry about meeting Arthur's needs.
Now Arthur only has to worry about one problem. What will happen to Blackwood's revenge after he leaves?
Without him, Amber's militia and Javier's one hundred men alone would not be able to stop the revenge of an earldom.
If he were here, he could at least kill the general in formation, and then hit a child like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
My newly ignited heart suddenly turned cold.
"Are you going to participate in the tournament in King's Landing?" Arthur asked, looking at the heir of Seaside City who was following him.
"Of course not. I also know how much I weigh. I just went there to watch the fun. Haijiang City is so boring."
Patrick was very honest and expressed his thoughts neatly.
"I would like to participate, but there are some things in the territory and I can't get away."
"Hey, what can happen in your little territory? Come with me and let's go see the excitement. This may be the only time in our lives."
They had introduced themselves to each other before and knew each other's details.
Patrick heard Arthur's participation, but he did not taunt him, although he felt that this Arthur might win the championship in the competition with the most handsome face, rather than lance and spear.
"There is indeed something going on." Arthur did not express his concerns to Patrick.
We've only known each other for a long time, so it's hard to tell him some things.
What's more, even if he told him, Patrick was unlikely to believe that Arthur could kill the enemy general and knock down dozens or hundreds of enemy soldiers.
"Then can you invite me to your castle? As a friend, I think this is a necessary way to enhance friendship."
Arthur looked at Patrick, who was smiling at him, and reluctantly agreed.
As long as there is no conflict of interest, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with such an heir to the earl.
"You can go, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Patrick was very happy and told Arthur some rumors about King's Landing, although he had also heard about them.
The whole afternoon's galloping made the gamblers' legs weak, and they finally made it back to the Moulin Rouge before it got completely dark.
"Seven gods, what are you doing? Building the largest castle in the riverlands? No wonder you said you couldn't leave because of something."
Patrick and his five followers were shocked by what they saw.
"It's just a defensive stronghold, not a strong castle." Arthur explained.
"It's so big, how many people do you want to accommodate? I'm afraid even your subjects won't be able to fill it up!"
Patrick clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Then you are underestimating my territory. This village is prepared for them."
They passed through various building materials and randomly pitched tents.
"It seems that there are many people who can work in your territory."
"I just hired some men from the Shili City territory. It can't be called hiring because I don't need to pay."
The concession that Janos gave Arthur was that the two thousand people did not need to pay wages because this was an order issued by the earl.
Similar to corvee.
Patrick was very interested in Arthur's move to build a stronghold. When he learned about the conflict between Arthur and Blackwood a month ago, he became even more fond of Arthur.
"Anyone who hears this will support you. Murderers must be punished. Justice always prevails over darkness."
The two chatted and approached the castle on horseback.
Amber came out with several servants to greet him, and he brought a message:
"My lord, Ser Desmond Grell, the master of Riverrun, has arrived."

A Game of Thrones joke every day:
Jon Snow, as the nephew of Duke Eddard, is a nominal illegitimate son. When outsiders praise him for being like his father, he is actually like his mother.
While outsiders praise him for being like his mother, Snow is actually like his father.
