Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel

King's Landing, the Red Keep, where the Crowned Stag's banner flies.

The Red Keep remains the same, and for now, there aren't too many red-robed soldiers.

Horse hooves clattered across the cobblestone square in front of the castle.

A line of spearmen guarded the gate.

"Welcome, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, His Majesty Robert I of House Baratheon!" the standard-bearer shouted.

Upon seeing King Robert's entourage, the pikemen parted to the sides, allowing the king and his party to pass through the iron gate.

The pale red city walls stood tall overhead, and many crossbowmen were on them.

As Arthur passed through the courtyard, he saw a dozen knights practicing horseback riding and spear-wielding targets.

"Click!"

"Click!"

The most perfect knight can break a lance.

A gun is heavier than a sword and harder to control.

The knights needed to rely more on the strength of their warhorses, so they trained day and night.

Arthur discovers that Jaime Lannister, the king's brother-in-law, is not at the Red Keep; he has probably returned to the Westerlands to visit family.

Along the way, Sir Barristan, the captain in white robes, continued to exchange experiences about the tournament with Arthur.

"Sword and shield duels are the foundation of foot combat. Horsemanship and lance duels require two other fundamental skills: horsemanship and lancemanship," said Sir Barristan.

The decisive factor in horsemanship competitions is equestrian skill, which requires a high degree of balance.

"Arthur's marksmanship and horsemanship are also excellent," Sir Lucas Dayne proudly introduced.

"Talent plus practice, that's the way to a champion," Sir Barristan nodded.

Arthur is a pure prodigy; he's bound to have a bright future in the martial arts tournament.

"Looks like I'll have to buy another good horse!" Arthur thought to himself.

A knight cannot be without a good horse.

The horses of Westeros' Vale, Dorne's Sands, and the Reach are all famous.

Across the Narrow Sea were Dothraki warhorses.

Other areas also have warhorses, but they are of lower quality.

Given the right dragon and the right opportunity, even a good horse is within reach.

Arthur also prepared to show off his skills in a horse-drawn lance duel.

When it comes to making money, the highest bonus is for those who use long spears.

Just like the martial arts tournament for the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the winner of the spear contest is rewarded with 40,000 gold dragons, and the second-place winner is rewarded with 20,000 gold dragons.

The group melee competition has 20,000 winners, and the archery competition has 10,000 winners.

"If there's anything I can't do, I'll have to ask you for advice!" Arthur said with a smile.

"There's not much else to teach, just some experience," Sir Barristan chuckled.

Sir Barristan's combat experience and tournament experience are probably unparalleled now.

"Go get your prize, little bat!"

The drunken King Robert waved his hand, saying he would continue to sleep soundly after returning to Megalos.

If Robert's affairs on Dragonstone spread quickly enough...

The king and queen may be about to have another passionate brawl.

With Robert's warrant in hand, Arthur could go straight into the armory.

"Please come in, Master Arthur." The two guards were very respectful.

The king's gift was a great honor.

Robert had one good point: he liked to spend money.

Robert's entertainment stimulated consumption and enriched merchants, prostitutes, and knights, but he was too extravagant.

Pushing open the oak and steel doors, Arthur swaggered inside.

Sunlight streamed into the armory through the narrow windows.

The armory contains a wide variety of fine armor and weapons.

"That's not all," Arthur thought.

Some of the Targaryen family's black steel armor, inlaid with dragon scales, is very beautiful.

Because Robert's hatred for the Dragon Kings was relegated to the sidelines.

The dazzling array of weapons broadened Arthur Hoan's horizons.

Armor, shield, dagger, spear, sword, meteor hammer.

Blunt weapons such as battle axes, warhammers, and flails were also readily available.

Arthur saw dozens of valuable, high-quality daggers and silver-inlaid swords in the armory.

Not to mention ordinary daggers.

Many were gifts from envoys of foreign countries, and some were Robert's wedding gifts.

The envoys from foreign countries, having figured out Robert's temperament, presented him with jeweled daggers and silver-inlaid swords each time.

"Is this Gillian's gift?" Arthur noticed a beautiful dagger.

The dagger has a gold-plated blade, an ivory handle, and a sapphire tip.

The dagger's hilt bears the name Gillian Lannister.

This was a wedding gift from Gillian to Robert, and now it's just gathering dust here.

Robert loved daggers, but he had only ever used one, which Jon Arryn gave him when he was a child.

"These gold and silver trinkets are flashy, but not that valuable." Arthur paced through the armory, slowly searching through the items.

Arthur rummaged through the armory.

Those ornate jeweled weapons weren't appealing enough; he wanted to find weapons of real value.

Some time later, Arthur found his target near a corner where daggers were piled up.

Arthur rummaged through the ordinary fine iron daggers, then pulled out the one he had kept at the bottom of the chest.

The black dragonbone hilt was as sturdy as iron, and the Valyrian steel dagger was as dark as smoke.

There is only one metal in the world that can be made so thin while still retaining its deadly power.

These ripples are marks left by countless hammer blows during the forging process.

"Even after a thousand years, I can still feel the flames within. Perhaps this is the unique quality of Dragon Steel?"

This Valyrian steel dagger with a dragon bone handle harbors the power of fire.

Even from several steps away, Arthur could feel the fire element gathering within the dagger.

Arthur did the math.

This distance is the same as the distance by which he accelerates his growth, and his senses are strongest within this range.

The Valyrians call dragon glass obsidian "frost fire," which can kill White Walkers.

Valyrian steel, forged and tempered by dragonfire, contains an even richer amount of fire element.

This dagger may still be one left behind by the Targaryen family.

Arthur carefully put away the dagger.

The first thing is to grasp the situation.

Valyrian steel longswords are expensive, while these smaller daggers are relatively common.

Apart from the one in the armory.

According to the original story, Littlefinger will later obtain a Valyrian steel dagger, which he then loses to Robert.

Arthur's confidence soared, and he resumed his search of the armory, just in case.

With this dagger, everything else can be whatever you want.

Arthur glanced over the shields, armor, swords, and spears—the large items—but found nothing of value.

In the pile of scattered items, Arthur sensed a vibrant fire, a gathering of fire elements.

This time it wasn't a big item, but a pair of steel gauntlets thrown among a pile of steel handguards.

Arthur took out the fine black steel gauntlets.

It also appears to be a relic of the Targaryen dynasty, covered in dust.

On the surface, it seems unremarkable.

Arthur wiped it clean and then noticed the sea serpent symbol on it.

It must be a product of the Sea Serpent Adventure.

The Sea Serpent is incredibly wealthy; although we didn't find any large Valyrian steel weapons at the time, we must have found quite a few individual pieces.

Arthur grabbed the dagger and slashed it hard. Beneath the thin layer of paint, the material was still hard.

The steel dagger failed to cut through the gauntlet.

"These are boxing gloves made of Valyrian steel; that's quite an ingenious idea."

He didn't have enough Valyrian steel on hand, so he used only a portion of it to make boxing gloves.

Arthur put away the gauntlets, then slashed them a few times with his steel dagger, completely erasing the sea serpent emblem from the gauntlets.

"This trip was truly worthwhile," Arthur thought with satisfaction.

Even if I didn't get the big items, I still got two loose items.

With these two things, Arthur was confident that he could obtain steel weapons without any equipment.

Among the iron materials, there happened to be one or two steel longswords, and Arthur was determined to obtain them.

"I've found two weapons..." Arthur said to the soldier guarding the armory after he left the house.

"It's alright, sir. King Robert has already said that you may choose either one," the soldier said very politely.

"A steel dagger and a pair of steel gauntlets." Arthur gave the soldier two gold dragons, then gracefully left the armory.

"Young Master Arthur is such a kind man." The soldier couldn't wait for Arthur to come more often; he truly deserved to be a famous wealthy man.

Arthur put away his dagger and gauntlets and left the Red Keep, satisfied.

We already have the weapons; perhaps we can also recruit some people in King's Landing.

Arthur is wealthy, and this is a good opportunity for him to hire some skilled knights in King's Landing.

Verri and Lucas Root Jr. are both young.

For a head-on battle, you need well-trained veterans.

King's Landing is full of such down-on-their-luck knights who are talented but unappreciated.
