"This is Arthur, the invincible Arthur." Horace Redwin introduced him.
After his legs were simply bandaged, he hurried to attend the party.
Due to the protection of the plate armor, his thigh meat was only pinched, causing bleeding and bruises, and his femur was not injured. So he just limped a little when walking, and it was nothing serious.
"I heard that he was the warrior who beat Cersei's cousin Cleo, right?"
"Yes, a true warrior is not afraid of power."
"Speaking of it, the Lannister family and the Frey family are really perfect relatives. I would be happy to see their two families beaten."
Several riverside nobles were talking a lot, and their words were filled with gloating about the misfortune of the Lannister family and their relatives.
If their lord wants to ascend to the throne, the most likely way is to remove the political niche of the Lion family and let the Rose family produce a queen.
These nobles have all received extremely strict education from their lords. Unlike James who was sent to be a squire and Eddard who was sent to be an adopted son, they still have vision and knowledge.
At such a gathering, they know better than anyone what kind of words to say.
Although in other places, what they say may mean something else.
The other twin, Hopper, was also nearby. Seeing Arthur here, he first leaned over to express his admiration for Arthur's strange power, and then went to many nobles to take the trouble to introduce how he was completely impressed by Arthur today.
.
He even boasted about how the lord of Moulin Rouge pierced through the army of Crowtree City with one man for a thousand, killing hundreds of enemies.
He also made up the details, including nose and eyes, as if he was at the scene.
The conversation was full of affirmation of Arthur's strength and admiration for him.
In fact, his behavior is easy to understand. The more Arthur is boasted, the more powerful he is, the more natural it is for him to lose quickly.
This is a very typical fanatical behavior of converts.
Desmond and Patrick also added details in a timely manner, adding a bit more credibility to Arthur's deeds.
A circle of great nobles also cooperated with the compliments of a few people, exclaiming and tutting from time to time.
Congratulations, they are professionals.
Arthur did not correct some of the mistakes in Hopper's mouth, but quietly ate the delicious pastries made by the palace pastry chef and drank the fine wine produced on Qingting Island.
As the second richest family in the country, the food provided at the Rose family's party was exquisite and delicious befitting their family's status.
Reflected in the details, every piece of pastry is printed with a rose pattern.
This is very scary.
Ordinary people eat stew in large pots with random flavors, but the top nobles can even have their family's pattern printed on a pastry.
The inequality is evident.
What is even more exaggerated is the martial arts tournament, where the champion of the lance competition was paid 40,000 gold dragons. Compared to the farmers in Hejian, the annual living cost was only a few silver deer. Under normal circumstances, one gold dragon could be exchanged for 210 silver deer.
It can be seen that the luxurious life of the top nobles has reached a magical level.
Of course, Arthur couldn't change these things. He could only sigh in his heart, then hold the plate and eat hard.
It’s important to work hard!
At this moment, someone's voice spread throughout the hall.
"Sorry, my friends, if I had known about this party in advance, I would have arranged to hold it in the Red Fort."
Arthur turned around and saw that it was King Robert's youngest brother, Lord of the Stormlands, and Duke Renly of Storm's End.
This person is really good at winning over people, and he always tries to win over people wherever he goes.
Arthur never believed that Renly didn't know beforehand where the party would be held.
Because the host of the party, Loras, was his Pythagorean friend and bedmate.
But this party was still held somewhere in the courtyard of Rose's house, which shows that Renly didn't care about it at all.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the nobles present changed visibly. It seemed that this useless nonsense made Renly gain a lot of popularity.
Although Arthur can't do such behavior now, he still learned it silently.
In the future, if he succeeds, he will always be able to use small means like this to win people over.
Some higher-ranking Riverbend nobles immediately joined forces and surrounded the Duke of Storm's End.
Arthur and the others were very conscious and continued to stay where they were, chatting away.
After all, they really don't have much interaction with people at the level of the king's brother and the duke.
In addition to interesting stories about their own experiences, recalling their ancestors and discovering the relationship between their ancestors are also important topics for many nobles to talk about.
Fortunately, although Arthur's title is a bit lower, the surname Bracken has a long enough history.
In fact, considering that most of the noble families of the Reach can be related to the long-vanished Gardener family of the Reach King, and Bracken was once the King of the Reach during the Ancestors period - at least they claimed to be, so there are quite a few
The family history of the nobles present is no more prominent than that of Arthur's ancestors.
After having a common topic, the relationship always develops very quickly.
Coupled with the fact that the Redwyne twins tried their best to promote Arthur to those in their circle, and Arthur's obvious anti-Lannister stance, by the time most of the party was over, the Lord of Moulin Rouge actually became the party member.
focal figure.
Arthur couldn't remember how many nobles from the Reach told him about the origins of his family and the surname Bracken.
Even the alignments during the Blackfire Rebellion were mentioned.
During the Blackfire Rebellion, the nobles of the Riverlands and the Stormlands, who were dissatisfied with the Iron Throne and Dorne's leadership, united and supported Daemon Blackfire, a "noble bastard" of the Targaryen family, to launch the Blackfire
rebellion.
Even though several Blackfire rebellions have been suppressed, the Black Dragon Party and the Red Dragon Party that support the Iron Throne mostly dislike each other.
The legendary knight Blackfish Brynden Tully's refusal to marry the daughter of the Redwyne family of the Black Dragon Party is an excellent example, because the Tully family is a Red Dragon Party.
Coincidentally, the Bracken family also followed the Black Dragon Party in revolt at that time.
This has once again strengthened everyone's relationship.
After hearing about Arthur's conflict with the forces of Crowtree City in the north of the territory and that Arthur wanted to purchase some armor and weapons from the Riverbend family, many nobles present happily agreed to sell him a batch at the market price.
One family may only sell a dozen units, and seven or eight families may add up to a considerable sum.
In addition to the three hundred sets of standard armor and weapons promised by Redwin's twins, the total reached a level of six to seven hundred sets.
This made Arthur very happy, but also a little anxious.
After the tourney, you must act quickly when going to the Reach to purchase armor. Otherwise, when the War of the Five Kings breaks out in a few weeks, these people may not be willing to fulfill their promises.
After all, in troubled times, armor is more useful than golden dragons and food.
When my neighbor farms, I make guns, and my neighbor is my granary!
