Start with the Lord of the Rings

King's Landing.

Late night and early morning.

An underground street known as the "black market".

In an unremarkable shop room.

Morgan held the information scroll handed over by the old man with white beard and white hair in front of him. Just seeing the information on it for the first time, the surprise in his heart rose uncontrollably.

"Finally there is news."

"Finally there is news"

Looking at the intelligence scroll in his hand, Morgan was pleasantly surprised, but his face remained calm.

It's just that his slightly narrowed eyes slightly revealed Morgan's mood at this time. After reading the information on the scroll in his hand, he suddenly asked: "Black Forest" caravan and the "Green Forest" shop on Steel Street are there? what relationship? "

"Oh"

Hearing Morgan asking this, the old man with glasses who was copying something stopped his movements, looked up at Morgan and said, "It seems that you have already been there."

"Then this news will be given to you for free"

The old man with glasses raised his frame and continued: ""Green Forest" is one of the bright shops launched by the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce, but it is not the only one, there are others like "Blue Forest" and "White Forest". shop”

"If you want to know more details, you have to ask for money."

"Are you interested in continuing to listen?"

The old man with glasses looked at Morgan and asked with a smile.

Morgan didn't answer, just asked again: "How big is the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce?"

The old man with glasses nodded: "Of course, it is very big. The caravans are not only all over the entire Westeros continent, but also the nine free trade city-states on the other side of the narrow sea have their caravans."

"They even have ships that can reach the Narrow Sea East Road, and the mysterious Asshai."

"Anyway, you just need to know that they are the No. 1 Big Mac Chamber of Commerce in the entire Westeros platoon."

The old man with glasses continued.

These news are not precious news, as long as you inquire a little, you can find out.

"You know, when will this Black Forest caravan reach King's Landing?"

After slightly digesting the news given by the old man with glasses, Morgan asked again.

The old man with glasses immediately made a gesture.

Morgan, who already had a certain understanding of the profiteer old man, was very clear about this, that was the meaning of representing the golden dragon.

In this regard, he can only nod.

Under the black mirror frame full of oil stains, a pair of cloudy but shrewd eyes seemed to see what the old man was thinking in Morgan's mind and continued: "The fleet of the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce has always been closely guarded."

"Those dragon egg stones are not very useful, but they are of great collection value."

"Some people will never take it out easily once they are in the collection."

"And, because of the catastrophe many years ago, dragon eggs appear less and less."

"This is why the value of dragon egg stone continues to rise. After all, there are still many people interested in the huge and terrifying existence of giant dragons."

"In order to pick up the reward for your mission this time, someone below had a conflict with the black chamber of commerce, and a few died."

"So, don't think the news is expensive."

"After all, time is money for some people, isn't it?"

"Especially Your Excellency"

The old man with glasses kept talking, and finally gave Morgan a faint compliment.

Morgan is long past the stage where he needs to be complimented.

But after hearing the explanation from the old man with glasses, he was indeed a little more accepting of the price he just asked.

Although he was very skeptical of the old man in front of him saying that people died for snooping news.

ten minutes later.

Morgan dropped a purse with gold dragon coins, turned and walked out of the house.

"Hoohoo."

Just as I walked onto the street, the cold wind of the night immediately blew up.

Morgan's spirit was sobered up a bit.

The appearance of the dragon egg surprised him, but he just got the news from the old man with glasses that the black forest caravan arrived in King's Landing, which made him a little puzzled.

Through understanding, the black forest caravan carrying dragon eggs will have at most one month to arrive at King's Landing City, even if it is unexpectedly delayed, it will definitely not exceed one month.

But Green Forest's message to Morgan a week ago was two months.

The difference is almost a month.

One month difference.

If the folks at the Green Forest Shop want to do something, it's simply too easy.

One of the important reasons Morgan came to King's Landing was for the dragon eggs.

This time, he has been busy with the news about the dragon egg for more than a week. He didn't have much hope for the dragon egg mentioned by the green forest shop.

Now after hearing the exact news from the old man with glasses.

He is now bound to get that dragon egg.

He also asked the old man with glasses. The price of dragon eggs sold in King's Landing in recent times is basically around 30,000 to 40,000 gold dragon coins.

And according to what the middle-aged receptionist of the Green Forest shop said last time, he still has three competitors.

Then, it is estimated that he needs to prepare at least 50,000 golden dragon coins in order to have enough confidence to win that golden dragon coin.

Because most of the treasures earned in Middle-earth were left to wives and children.

The number of gold coins stored in Morgan's current dimensional ring is about 20,000 to 30,000 gold dragon coins at most.

But it's not far from the tournament.

Morgan is absolutely confident that he will swept the tournament and won the prize money for the first place in all competitions.

If he can, considering the size of the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce, he is also willing to pay sky-high fees to get the dragon eggs.

However, it was two months before the dragon eggs arrived in King's Landing and the receptionists of the Green Forest shops.

There is still a month difference.

This made Morgan feel uneasy and unsafe.

After all, the person who can spend tens of thousands of gold dragon coins to compete for dragon eggs is definitely not a poor person.

If one of these three people is a big man in King's Landing.

If the other party knew that there were several competitors, it would not be surprising to use their power to spend less money to get the dragon eggs away in advance.

two months later.

When Morgan came to the door, the other party said that there were no dragon eggs in this batch of goods.

No matter how well prepared Morgan was, he could only be blinded.

In this case.

He must not be able to bear it.

Therefore, there is only one safest way to deal with this kind of thing, and that is to rob.

However, the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce is very wealthy.

If you want to grab them, you must be well prepared.

After all, the headquarters of the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce is located in King's Landing City, and its forces are huge.

Morgan also wanted to let his identity walk in the sun.

Don't want to be wanted all over the world by the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce for a dragon egg.

thought here.

Morgan reached out and touched his mouth, the thick fake beard on his face, and a hideous scar on the left side of his face extending diagonally from the brow bone.

Once the dragon egg is robbed.

The Black Forest Chamber of Commerce is sure to be furious.

Morgan was able to obtain their intelligence from the "black market" of the underground streets.

Naturally, the other party can also obtain their own information in turn.

He never thought that the old man with glasses would keep his mouth shut.

Now that I think about it, fortunately, he made a disguise in advance to be prepared.

After the incident, he was betrayed by the old man with glasses.

The other party couldn't even suspect him.

"Hoohoo."

The bone-chilling wind howled.

Morgan, who quickly walked out of the underground street, covered the black hood on his head more tightly.

It didn't take long.

Morgan walked again into the dangerous alley where he had come, and disappeared into the darkness.

Early the next morning.

The sky was just getting brighter.

Morgan finished washing up and walked to the restaurant on the first floor of the castle, ready to enjoy breakfast.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Morgan got up immediately.

Eddard Stark didn't come back last night.

At this time, the other party must have returned.

Morgan walked out of the restaurant and soon saw a large group of people walking in front of the castle.

Leading them were Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, and a figure that surprised Morgan, Catelyn Tully, who could also be called Catelyn Stark's Duchess of Winterfell.

"My lord, ma'am"

Morgan, who hurried forward, saluted and said hello immediately.

"Morgan, I heard from Ed that you've been protecting my two daughters."

Catelyn Tully said with a smile when she saw Morgan.

"This is the trust the Duke has placed in me, and it is also my honorable lady."

Morgan nodded again.

After a brief greeting, Eddard Stark quickly took his wife to the second floor of the castle.

In the castle, ordinary warriors are not allowed to set foot on the second floor where the two Stark family ladies are without important business or permission.

Although Morgan and Guard Captain Kelson, the guard leaders, have no such restrictions.

But under normal circumstances, they also do not easily go to the second floor.

Downstairs, I watched the disappearance of the Duke and Duchess of Stark and the old coach Rodrik Kassel.

Morgan retracted his gaze, looked at Kelson with a tired face and said, "Breakfast is ready, let's have breakfast first."

Kelson nodded and followed Morgan to the dining room.

"Looks like you didn't sleep well last night."

After sitting at the table and greeting the kitchen servant, Morgan looked at Kelson and smiled.

Hearing Morgan's ridicule, Kelson reached out and rubbed his tired face, and said casually: "Last night, I followed the adults to several places, and I couldn't sleep at all."

Morgan picked up the steaming fresh fish soup, took a big mouthful, then looked at Kelson and continued, "Oh, didn't you stay at the palace last night?"

"No, the adults were busy late last night."

"I was later invited by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Petyr Baelish."

"We just followed the adults to receive the wife and the old coach, and returned here directly."

"We didn't sleep last night"

Guard Captain Kelson yawned as he spoke, and drank the mushroom soup on the side.

Listening to Kelsen's words, Morgan didn't continue to ask, and it was a bit deliberate to ask again.

Instead, he pondered the information revealed in his words.

"Petil Baelish, Chancellor of the Exchequer."

"It should be a "little finger""

Morgan drank the fish soup quietly, but his mind was not very calm.

In his memory, that Littlefinger was a complete conspiracy. Although Morgan didn't know exactly who planned those conspiracies, he knew that Eddard Stark's failure and the tragic situation of the Stark family seemed to be related to Littlefinger.

Thinking of this, an idea immediately popped into Morgan's mind: "Do you want to remind Eddard Stark?"

Only the idea came to mind.

Morgan quickly pressed down again.

You must know that he has never been to the Royal Palace Red Fort until now.

He had never seen or knew that Minister of Finance Petyr Baelish "Littlefinger".

If he said that Littlefinger was a conspirator in front of Eddard Stark now, let him pay attention to him.

He didn't know if Eddard Stark would doubt Littlefinger.

But the Duke of Winterfell would have doubts about Morgan.

Morgan couldn't do such a stupid thing.

What's more, he didn't know anything about the other party's behavior, and there was no exact and specific evidence.

He suddenly said that Littlefinger was suspicious, which inevitably made Eddard Stark wonder if he was an undercover agent sent by another family.

Then it's not worth the loss.

So, even knowing that Littlefinger is a conspirator.

Neither can Morgan.

Of course, Morgan still has a way to deal with Littlefinger, and that is to assassinate the opponent.

But that approach is too extreme.

Morgan hadn't thought about doing it for the Starks.

A chaotic King's Landing is what all ambitious people want to see.

There's a shit stirrer called Littlefinger.

Morgan will also be more convenient when doing things in the future.

There is a possibility that he may cooperate with Littlefinger in the future, after all, nothing can be said.

What's more, a month later, he is ready to snatch the caravan of the Black Forest of the Big Mac Chamber of Commerce.

At times like this, it's okay to be low-key.

But the Stark family is not bad for themselves.

Eddard Stark values ​​himself.

He also looked at the behavior of the new former Prime Minister, the Duke of Winterfell.

Jon Snow is his friend.

Brandon Stark is his registered student.

And the current official student Arya Stark.

Unconsciously.

Morgan discovers that he has a lot of ties with the Stark family.

"Just wait."

"Wait until after the tournament."

"When I get the first place, the weight will be heavier, the reputation will be bigger, and it will be wider."

"At that time, let's see if I can help Eddard Stark."

Morgan quietly ate his favorite lamb chops, and made a complete plan for the next plan in his mind.

Lady Catelyn Tully of Winterfell didn't stay in the castle for long.

Morgan had just put down the utensils and finished breakfast.

I heard a voice coming from the castle hall on the first floor.

He got up immediately, and the guard captain Kelsen and deputy captain Jory also followed immediately.

The three came to the hall.

I saw that Mrs. Caitlin was holding a daughter in her arms and saying goodbye.

"I'll see you again when I have time"

"Jun's Landing is more dangerous than you think, you must listen to your father's words"

"Okay, let's go here."

In front of the castle gate, Mrs. Catelyn told the two reluctant daughters to turn and look at her husband: "I should go."

"Um"

Eddard Stark nodded and turned his head to look aside: "Morgan, you bring a group of people to escort Madam out of the city."

"Yes, my lord."

Morgan nodded, and quickly summoned four guards, got on their horses, and escorted Lady Catelyn to the outside of King's Landing quickly.

After seeing Mrs. Caitlin out of town.

Morgan, who returned to the small castle, continued to stay in the castle to teach Arya swordsmanship, and then prepared for health.

Time just passed by day by day.

The former Prime Minister Eddard Stark was as busy as ever.

A month passed quietly.

In the city of King's Landing, which is more lively every day.

The martial arts conference is coming as scheduled.
