Bab 45: Chapter 45
Walking into the Hightower , Samwell couldn't help but look around curiously.
The walls made of black boulders give people a heavy feeling, and the traces of countless years are deposited in it. Perhaps every tiny crack may hide a long-forgotten story.
Seeing this, Baylor smiled and said: "Everyone who comes here for the first time will feel novelty, but if you live here for decades, you will only feel depressed and bored. Hey, if it weren't for me being eldent and only have a younger brother , I'm afraid I would've left here long ago and ran around the world."
Samwell touched the dark and smooth wall and asked:
"Was this really built more than 10,000 years ago?"
Baylor laughed loudly and said:
"How could it be so early! Although it is true that the Hightower family came to settle here in the Dawn Era tens of thousands of years ago, our castle was still a wooden tower at that time, only fifty feet high, and later built several towers one after another until the fifth tower is the current Hightower ."
"The builder is same ' The Builder' Brandon Stark?" Samwell remembered the relevant records he read from the original book.
"Yes." Baylor nodded, and suddenly said longingly, "It is said that he also built the Wall , which is even more magnificent. I really want to see it."
"There is also Storm's End."
At this time a clear voice came from behind everyone.
Samwell turned his head and saw a beautiful boy coming down the stairs.
Yes, pretty.
For the first time, Samwell felt that there was nothing wrong with using this word to describe a man.
The flowing brown curly hair, charming golden eyes, and handsome face is enough to make any woman fall in love with him, even some men are no exception.
Seeing everyone's gazes, the handsome young man on the stairs smiled slightly and continued:
"Lord Renly told me that Storm's End is also the masterpiece of 'Builder' Brandon, no matter what kind of storm can't shake it." "Loras, come quickly." Margaery said to the boy on the stairs Beckoning, "This is the pioneer knight I mentioned to you, Samwell Caesar."
Loras walked down the steps, nodded to Samwell, and said,
"I am the third son of the Duke of Highgarden.Loras Tyrell, nice to meet you, Sir Ceasar ."
"It's an honor to meet you, Ser Loras." Samwell nodded in return, suddenly realizing that this is the "Knight of Flowers"
He really lives up to its reputation.
Just wondering why he would show up in Oldtown too?
Samwell remembered that Loras was supposed to be a squire to Lord Renly Baratheon of Storm's End?
Loras didn't know if he saw Samwell's doubts, but he explained:
"Lord Renly is also here, and he is talking to the Earl and mother up there."
Renly is also here?
Samwell was slightly startled, and then a greater doubt arose in his heart -
what is Renly doing here? The Hightowers are not related to the Baratheons.
He immediately realized that Margaery and her mother came to the Hightower probably not just to visit relatives.
There are so many coincidences that it's hard to believe it's a coincidence.
While Samwell was thinking wildly, Loras said again:
"You are completely different from what I imagined, Sir Caesar. I heard that you have already opened up a territory in the Red Mountains? You have also conquered tens of thousands of wildlings? "
"Yes, thanks to the protection of the seven gods."
"The seven gods only bless brave and pious knights." Loras laughed, "I have heard some bad rumors about you before, but now it seems that those are vicious and untrue slanders. No wonder Lord Renly always says, don't trust your ears, trust your eyes."
"Thank you for your praise." Samwell also flattered him, "I have also heard that you are a knight with superb martial arts, especially good at wielding a spear."
"I learned all my spear skills from Lord Renly
, He is a better knight than I am, and a wise lord. By the way, I have not seen the wildlings, Sir Caesar, can you tell me about them? How do they fight? What kind of weapons are they using ?"
"Of course, their weapons are very simple..."
Samwell laughed inwardly as he explained.
This Loras is really an upright boy, but a little too upright, and he doesn't hide his thoughts at all—everything is inseparable from "Lord Renly", no wonder the scandal of this pair of good friends is spread all over the noble circle.
Several people walked and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
I don't know how many floors up, Sir Baylor stopped, pointed to the room in front of him and said to Samwell:
"Sir Caesar, this is the room arranged for you, and the room of your entourage is also next to it, please rest on for a while. The dinner will be held at six o'clock, and a servant will come to inform you at that time."
"Okay, Sir Baylor, thank you for your hospitality. Sir Loras, Miss Margery, we will see you later."
"See you later."
After entering the room, Samwell took a shower first, and then went to bed to rest. He didn't get up and changed his clothes until the maid knocked on the door.
After going out, Samwell did not rush to the banquet hall, but waited for flower and Cheman to pack up before going to the banquet together.
There is no way, the lesson in sunflower City last time gave Samwell a psychological shadow. Although he knew that Earl Layton was unlikely to be as eager to marry his daughter as Viscount Brandon, but he never dared to take chances
What if it's some other trap?
Boys should protect themselves when they go out.
The three followed the maid to the banquet hall.
The floor of the hall is covered with a purple paulownia wood floor that can reflect people's shadows. This kind of wood is tight and shiny, and it is an excellent material for making furniture. However, such valuable purple paulownia wood is just a floor here.
Seven white jade carved pillars supported the dome of the hall. More than a dozen mighty and majestic armored warriors stood motionless around the hall with spears in their hands. The slim and beautiful maids were taking plates of delicacies to the long dining table with light steps. .
The dinner was in the form of a buffet, but unfortunately very few guests stayed at the long tables filled with delicious food and wine, and even if they took it, they would only taste it lightly, otherwise they would appear impolite.
The guests were divided into two groups, beautiful and attractive ladies dressed up, sitting on the left side of the hall, making silver bell-like laughter from time to time, while on the right side of the hall, well-dressed gentlemen gathered, chatting in twos and threes.
The brightly lit hall, luxurious and elegant decoration, courteous waiters, soft and charming maids, and countless delicacies outline a scene of a night banquet for aristocrats.
Although Todd was an illegitimate child, he also came from a nobleman like Redwyne, and he had served in Highgarden for many years. Seeing such a scene, he wasn't too nervous, but he unconsciously adjusted his collar again. And the bumpkin Cheman had never seen such a big scene before, his body movements became extremely stiff.
Samwell didn't notice the state of the two attendants. With an impeccable smile on his face, he walked into the banquet hall under the bowing guidance of the young maid.
