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

Arthur made a fortune at the Royal Armory in the Red Keep, and then rode away.

"Found something good?" Sir Lucas Dayne asked.

"That's right." Arthur brandished the Valyrian steel dagger with a dragon bone handle in his hand.

"What's this?" Sir Lucas's eyes lit up. "Valirian steel?"

Arthur nodded. "It's not a large item, but it's still quite rare."

The dragon bone hilt dagger has no gold decorations, no gemstone hilt, no silver inlay, and its appearance is plain and unremarkable.

It was never used by the king and remained in a forgotten corner.

There might be two steel daggers, one of which is the one gathering dust now.

One of them was Littlefinger, who was also eating dust after losing a bet to Robert.

Later, Joffrey stole the dagger that was sent to assassinate Bran, triggering the plot development.

"We're really lucky," Veri said.

It wasn't luck, but rather Arthur's talent.

The Valyrian steel dagger is in hand, and the Valyrian steel sword won't be far behind.

If they don't want to pay the money but still want the Valyrian sword, then they'll have no choice but to forcibly take it from the battlefield two years later.

"Let's go find a place to stay first! Then we'll go to a blacksmith's shop," Arthur said.

The River House did not have a residence in King's Landing; they only had rented warehouses and properties.

Arthur and his men stayed at a high-class inn near the Iron Gate, the Iron Inn.

The inn has a courtyard and a stable, creating a tranquil environment.

This area is considered an upscale neighborhood.

The house that Octopus Spider arranged for Shae to please the Imp in the original story was located nearby.

The next day, early morning.

Arthur and his companions first began a sword fight.

Swordsmanship, to put it simply, is also an art of repetitive training.

Arthur is always seeking change and innovation.

"Watch out!" Arthur swung his sword, his moves were fast and fierce, and full of vicious variations.

The sword blade, like a raging wave, defeated the two opponents.

Verri and Lucas were clearly outmatched.

Arthur definitely needs to expand his team and add experienced veterans to increase its strength.

After training, the group enjoyed a breakfast featuring local specialties from King's Landing.

"Let's have a hearty breakfast, then head to Steel Street!"

The restaurant provided a honey cake baked with blackberries and nuts, marinated pork leg, fried small fish, fried starfish with breadcrumbs, hot lemon water, and milk.

Arthur left a few men to guard the courtyard.

In addition, the store also sent someone to the flea market to contact the hired knights who were looking for employers.

Such high-end hotels routinely offer services.

This place is not far from the flea den; with just a brief introduction, those hired knights pounce like sharks drawn by the scent.

"Thank you for your help," Arthur said.

"You're too kind, Young Master Arthur!" The innkeeper was very attentive to Arthur, not wanting to miss out on such a generous customer.

If Arthur were willing, they would even be happy to send someone to invite the most high-class prostitutes for him.

The most famous place now is Sataya's brothel, a high-end entertainment district in King's Landing's Silk Street, behind Rhaenys Hill.

Robert would even visit this place.

Arthur himself, accompanied by Sir Lucas Dayne, Lucas Root, and Veri Ward, headed to Steel Street.

They traveled light and simply, without any horse-drawn carriages or mule carts.

Harrenburg had its own skilled blacksmiths.

Arriving at Steel Street, the purpose is to find high-end goods.

The industrial clusters in King's Landing, including blacksmith shops, brothels, fish markets, meat markets, and leatherworkers, have contributed significantly to tax revenue.

With such a large number of people, a huge amount of food was consumed.

"Lord He'an is here! Make way immediately!" Lute and Veri shouted.

This line of work can't be kept low-key either, since Spider's eyes and ears are everywhere in King's Landing anyway.

As the tournament gained fame, Arthur Hoan's reputation as "Bat Rider" and "Black Arthur" grew louder and louder.

They rode their horses to Steel Street, the steel industry cluster area under their rule.

Along the way, Arthur can also see desolate and ruined dragon lairs, a dilapidated alchemist guild, and the holy Baelor Cathedral, among other sights.

Arthur and his party turned into Steel Street and rode along the winding road up the long Visenian Hills.

Along the way, you'll pass blacksmiths working in front of their forges, free riders haggling over armor, and ironware vendors with gray hair selling various old iron knives from their wagons.

"It's quite lively here!" Sir Lucas exclaimed.

The bustling activity in King's Landing was something the relatively small population of Dorne could hardly imagine.

As Arthur and his party climbed higher and higher, the buildings appeared even taller.

Big fish eat little fish, and the best blacksmith is at the top.

Tob Mote has a huge house made of wood and plaster, with floors high enough to overlook the narrow alleyways below.

The house's two main doors are made of ebony and weirwood, and are decorated with a hunting scene.

A pair of stone knights stood guard on either side of the entrance, clad in imaginative red steel armor, giving them the forms of a griffin and a unicorn.

"These two doors are quite interesting," Arthur said, looking at Tob's door.

The House of Black and White seems to fit in the same way.

White heartwood and black ebony—these are rare and unusual trees found in the world.

Arthur felt that Tob also held many mysteries, and perhaps the people of the Black Goat City also knew something about witchcraft.

Arthur led their horses to the stables and then strode into the house.

The doorwoman, with her sharp eyes, immediately recognized the family crest on Arthur's cloak.

Nine large black bats on a yellow background—the emblem of the Hearn family of Harrenhal.

Tob was the wealthiest blacksmith, and even his receptionists were beautiful girls, similar to saleswomen in a real estate agency.

"Quickly pour drinks for Master Arthur River and his friends," the extravagant shopkeeper, Tob Mott, said to the girl.

Tob wore a black velvet coat with a hammer pattern embroidered in silver thread on the sleeves.

The blacksmith wore a heavy silver chain around his neck, with a sapphire on it the size of a pigeon's egg.

Tob's performance can be summed up in two words: he's rich.

The blacksmith of King's Landing is the most prestigious blacksmith ever.

"The champion of the Dragonstone Squire Tournament, the future legendary knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It is an honor to have the handsome and dashing young Master Arthur Rivern visit my blacksmith shop," Tob said.

"You flatter me! I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly." Arthur laughed heartily.

Tob shook his head. "I have a good eye. There are no secrets in King's Landing, Master Arthur. Knights, servants, and gold-robed men accompanied King Robert to Dragonstone. These people are all out drinking and looking for women, so news naturally spreads very quickly."

"If you need to buy new armor to wear in the tournament, you've come to the right place."

"I've heard your prices are very high," Arthur said, looking at the blacksmith.

"Master Arthur, I admit that my products are very expensive," Tob said as he filled two pairs of silver goblets with wine.

"But I assure you, you won't find anyone in the Seven Kingdoms whose craftsmanship can rival mine. If you don't believe me, you can go to every blacksmith shop in King's Landing and compare for yourself. Actually, any country blacksmith can make a suit of armor. What I forge are works of art," Tob said arrogantly.

Arthur looked at Tob and realized that this was the spirit of craftsmanship; such top-notch craftsmen certainly didn't lack customers.

Expensive things have no downsides other than being expensive.

The ridiculously expensive armor worn by Loki and Renly in the original story was bought here.

Hundred Flower Armor, Green Armor, and Golden Deer Antler Helmet.

"This is our first meeting," Arthur said to Tob. "Let's start with a small job."

Arthur pulled out his blueprints.

The drawing depicts a helmet with bat wings outstretched, and a black bat symbol in the center of the helmet.

"No problem at all," Tob assured, patting his chest. "I'm very good at this kind of helmet. The emblem of He'an is a bat, which looks like that of a great knight."

Winged helmets, the most famous of which were the dragon wing helmets of House Targaryen.

"He looks like the Dark Knight," Arthur said.

Arthur then took out his Valyrian steel dagger and placed it on the table. "Add a bat emblem to the hilt of that dagger too."

The dagger can be replaced, but the steel gauntlets are the secret weapon.
