Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 177 Various meetings about to begin

Backlund, Queens, a luxurious villa.

This is the property of the church, which was collected from a declining noble. Of course, the church also gave a very reasonable price, which did not bring shame to the glory of the goddess.

After Arianna's instructions, Archbishop Anthony's attention to Robb rose to a higher level, so he naturally arranged such a luxuriously decorated villa for Robb.

On the second floor of the villa, a man who looked like a butler was directing his servants to clean the room.

The butler's name was Riback, and he was born into a family of butlers.

Yes, the housekeeper family.

His grandfather was the deacon at the current Duke Negan's estate, and his father was the deputy steward of Duke Negan.

Barrick's original life trajectory should have been to continue serving Duke Negan's family, or be sent to other small families closely related to Duke Negan.

But because of the arrival of an unexpected person, the Faded One, his life trajectory also changed.

By the way, Duke Negan is the leader of the conservative party in Loen Kingdom and the spokesperson of the Church of Storms in the military.

Of course, Barrick, the steward, is also a believer of the Storm Lord.

Therefore, Robb moved into a villa arranged by the Church of Night, and the Church of Storm arranged his daily life. This was a compromise and balance.

Seeing Robb walking into the door of the villa carrying a volume of books, Barrick, who had been observing on the second floor, immediately realized that the master he served was back, so he opened the door to greet him.

"Is this Lord Robb Stark?"

Robb could see the butler's temperament in this man at a glance. He had served many people before, and these people had an inexplicable feeling about them.

This feeling allows nobles who are familiar with those people to tell immediately that they are their own or other people's stewards.

Robb handed the book in his hand to Barrick casually and naturally: "I am, are you the steward arranged by the Church of Night?"

Barrick said humbly: "I believe in the Lord of Storms."

Lord of the Storm?

Robb recalled the thunder he heard when he first traveled through time, and he didn't have much fondness for this god. It was too noisy.

"Okay, but you have to remember to keep quiet in the manor from now on."

Barrick: Huh?
He was a bit confused. The nature of his master seemed a bit elusive. Why did he think he was a noisy person?

Robb was sitting on the large soft sofa in the living room, which was covered with a layer of comfortable and smooth velvet cloth, which is a very high-end fabric.

It's very comfortable. As expected, the level of enjoyment in the steam age far exceeds that of the Middle Ages.

Robb asked Barrick: "This seems to be a noble area. I just lived here. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Barrick was a steward who was born in a noble family. During his career, he had met many upper-class people and colleagues who served various noble families, and he was very familiar with the ins and outs of it.

With the help of such a butler, Robb can easily enter the social circle of the Backlund nobles. Of course, a little advance arrangements are required.

Barrick said respectfully: "The Church of Storms has arranged everything you need to live in, including two chefs specializing in different cuisines, four coachmen, two carriages, one four-wheeled and one two-wheeled. Three valets, two house nurses.

In addition, there are twenty servants and fifteen female servants, and a housekeeper..."

When Robb heard this, he simply compared it with the medieval times.

He found that many personnel configurations and professions did not exist in the Middle Ages, so he still did not know what social level such a configuration was at.

But what is certain is that it is definitely much better than the average baron.

Robb was not prepared to carry out any personnel reforms: "Help me hire a tutor who is very knowledgeable in linguistics. I want to learn Loen language well."

Although Barrick didn't quite understand why his master could speak fluent Loen and continued to learn the native language, which was really strange, he still agreed.

As a servant, sometimes you have to learn to shut up.

Barrick continued: "Okay, sir. Shall we send out a letter of invitation to the nobles living nearby?"

Robb is very familiar with this. Banquets are a specialty of nobles.

Nobles or upper-class people like to hold banquets to build relationships and socialize.

Generally speaking, if a person like Robb wants to expand his social circle, he needs to hold a banquet to show his ability and financial resources and gain recognition from more upper-class people.

When the time comes, others will also invite you to their banquets.

By going back and forth like this, you will quickly find a circle with the same interests and then completely integrate into them.

For Robb, who was hosting a banquet for the first time, he was particular about the size of the banquet and the guests he invited.

If the banquet is large in scale, but the people who come are all unscrupulous people, then it is very likely that Robb will become a joke and spread among the noble circles.

For now, Robb feels that he knows too little about the world, and he hasn't figured out what identity to use to get in touch with the upper-class aristocratic circle, so it's better to put it aside for the time being.

So Robb ordered: "There is no need to send any invitations for the time being. Send a gift to the nobles living nearby to tell them that I am coming. Well... also send a gift to the nobles you can contact. .”

At this time, you can see how convenient it is to have a butler who has served in a noble family.

They have their own connections and intelligence networks.

All they need is a little publicity, not to mention most, but at least a small number of people in the aristocratic circle will know that a young man named Robb Stark has moved into the villa of the Church of Night in Queens.

Just as Barrick was about to leave, Robb suddenly thought of something: "By the way, how much money does the family still have?"

Barrick was even more confused. Who is the master? How could I possibly know how much money you have?
But he still told everything he knew: "We are hired by the Church of Storms, and our expenses are basically received from the Church of Storms. But other things are not under our jurisdiction."

The implication is that we are just workers who get paid to do things. We don’t know how much money we have!

Robb felt helpless for a while, so he took out the dress he had just worn when he landed in this world. It was inlaid with some gems.

Coupled with the start-up capital given by the Church of the Night, it was all handed over to Barrick. "You sell this dress for a fair price, and there will be some money left here. I will leave the family's finances to you for safekeeping."

Robb didn't really care at all about small things like money.

The main reason is that he rarely uses money to buy anything. When he was in Westeros, he was the emperor, and he didn't need money to get the things he liked.

The financial aspects are also managed by my sister Sansa, and I don't touch those annoying figures at all.

Although Robb could not completely trust the butler in front of him, he could still manage this little money, which was not much in total.

If you find something went wrong, just kill him and replace him with a housekeeper.

None of this matters.

But now Robb has another goal: making money.

-

The next morning, Robb enjoyed a piece of baked bread drizzled with maple syrup, paired with a piece of refreshing lemon steak and dairy cheese. He got into a four-wheeled carriage in high spirits and walked into the Church of the Night in a very ostentatious manner. , start a new day of work.

Crestel, who was dressed as a civilian and very simple, frowned when he saw that Robb's upper-class appearance was simply more luxurious than others in the church.

Crested reminded: "Robb, is it inappropriate for you to do this?"

Robb also felt that Crested was right: "I see that there are many people outside who have more luxurious carriages than mine, but my carriage is just a four-wheeled carriage with no decorations. This is really not in line with my status." .”

Crestel was helpless for a while, thinking that except for those powerful dukes and businessmen with millions of dollars in wealth, who else could be more luxurious than your carriage, but he couldn't continue to dissuade him, after all, the other party was personally instructed by Archbishop Anthony. .

Even if Crestel can control himself to become a simple person, he still has to be at a disadvantage when it comes to human relationships.

There was nothing going on this morning. Robb continued to read books about Emperor Russell, and soon felt something unusual about this fellow.

He seems to be a jack of all trades!
He actually understands everything about mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, and he even moved to this world. It can be said that the entire world has entered the steam age because of this man.

In comparison, Robb seems much inferior.

Not to mention that I have almost forgotten all the knowledge about mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. If I teach the experiments and principles to my subordinates, they will not be able to figure it out in a while.

Robb had a guess about this: "It should be the effect of potions. Some potions can help people restore the memories in the memory library."

When he thought that the potion system in this world actually had such miraculous effects, Robb was very happy, and he wanted to try it no matter what!
In the afternoon, Robb was received by Archbishop Anthony.

Archbishop Anthony's room is very clean and tidy, exuding a sense of quiet beauty, while also being dignified, making people feel respected.

Bishop Anthony sat on his seat and motioned for Robb to sit on the sofa nearby: "Sir Robb, are you satisfied with the residence arranged for you?"

"It's not bad." Robb added in his mind: It would be better if you gave me more gold pounds.

Archbishop Anthony continued: "According to Ms. Arianna's instructions, I will help you get in touch with the upper class of this country and help you learn more about the world. Maybe you will be willing to attend a noble dinner?"

Robb hasn't hosted a dinner party yet, but having Archbishop Anthony of the Church of the Night take him to a dinner party would be a good way to quickly increase his reputation.

After thinking about it, Robb felt that he could learn from how the nobles of this era held dinner parties, so that he would not be completely blind.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Archbishop Anthony had already expected this result: "How about the night after a week?"

Robb nodded: "Okay, then I can directly ask them about the extraordinary path."

Archbishop Anthony's face fell instantly. He really didn't expect that your Excellency would do this.

He thought that the place where Robb lived before might be completely different from here, so he warned: "I need to remind you that in Loen, most of the nobles are not extraordinary people. If you ask them directly, you may not get the answer you want. , Moreover, this is a bit rude in Loen."

Robb was a little surprised: "Can a person without extraordinary power become a noble? Shouldn't it be that people with powerful power have a higher status?"

In Robb's view, it would be completely counter-logical if a transcendent possessed power far beyond that of ordinary people, but had a very low status.

Archbishop Anthony began to think about the words and explained with difficulty: "That's right, because many extraordinary people love peace and order, and we also need a more stable situation, so this situation occurs."

Robb understood the implication of Archbishop Anthony: The powerful supernatural beings in this world and the church representing the gods all hope that society will have a stable structure, which will produce a certain framework.

Even if you are an extraordinary person, no matter how extraordinary you are, can you still be extraordinary than the gods?

God hopes that society will be stable, so there will be no barbaric acts of the weak and the strong. You should go to work and work. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with some extraordinary power. Be careful that a divine thunderbolt will strike you.

Therefore, extraordinary people will not kill nobles at will on a large scale. There will be a small number that cannot be controlled. After all, no one can completely prevent the occurrence of vicious events, not even gods.

Why do gods want social stability?

Robb felt that there must be something going on here, because he once had divinity, and he knew that after possessing divinity, he would definitely become indifferent to ordinary people.

Because of the difference in life levels, gods look at ordinary people just like ordinary people look at ants.

He doesn't care about the life or death of ordinary people at all.

Robb guessed: Do the gods of this world also want to absorb the power of faith?

Then if I were to preach, wouldn't I be on the opposite side of most gods?

It seems that before I am fully developed, I have to go to the areas where the church has not reached to preach!
-

In the following days, Robb has been learning the Rune language and studying the basic laws of operation of the world.

Soon he had a deep understanding of the major regions and countries such as Loen, Intis and the Southern Continent.

As a god, Robb learned the Rune language very quickly.

Soon, it was three o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, and Robb remembered clearly that this was the day when the mysterious organization above the gray fog held a meeting.

Robb's first tarot session is about to begin.
