Game of Thrones: Dawn of Justice

Chapter 10 Father Selwyn's Support, Duskfall Hall Dungeon
"Claude, take Brienne to the kitchen first."

Earl Selwyn realized that what Garlon said was of great importance, so he immediately gave an order to Claude in the distance.

"Okay, sir."

Although Claude was puzzled, he immediately came over and took Brienne away.

Brienne was actually reluctant, but the kitchen was still very attractive to her, so she obeyed obediently.

After Claude left with Brienne in his arms, Lord Selwyn looked at Garen seriously, "Garen, what do you mean?"

Looking at Earl Selwyn's expression, Garlon thought for a moment and said, "Father, after I killed that man, the Maiden of Justice seemed very "happy". It increased my strength, although not much, but it was obvious."

Garen revealed some, but not much.

Earl Selwyn was his father, his natural protector and ally, and he was Earl Selwyn's only son, so if he revealed some of his abilities, Earl Selwyn could better plan with him.

The father and son working together are more efficient than him working alone.

"what?"

Lord Selwyn looked shocked.

It took him a long time to digest the news.

"Galon, you are not kidding?"

"Father, how could I joke with you about such a thing?" Garen shook his head and said solemnly.

"So what do you think?"

Lord Selwyn, still in shock, asked his son.

Garen shrugged and said nothing.

"..."

Earl Selwyn thought silently for a moment, his chest heaving slightly.

He understood what Garen meant.

This capability needs more attempts.

If it's true, then no need to say more!

In fact, Earl Selwyn already believed most of it in his heart.

After all, Garlon didn't look like he was joking with him, and there was no need for Garlon to make such a joke.

In addition, the "Maid of Justice" is the holy sword bestowed upon Dawn Garlon by the Seven Gods in legend, so it is very likely that it has such magical powers.

The thought that this situation might be true made Earl Selwyn so excited that he could not control himself.

By increasing his own strength by killing evil people, can his son really grow up to be a legendary hero like "Morning Light Garlon"?
May the Seven Gods bless you!

My Tas family is finally going to rise again!
After figuring it out, Earl Selwyn didn't hesitate: "I understand, Garlon, come with me to a place after dinner."

"Going somewhere?" Garen was a little curious. It was getting late outside. Where were they going?
"Yes, I'll take you to verify what you said."

Hearing Earl Selwyn's words, Garlon widened his eyes slightly.

He probably guessed where Lord Selwyn was taking him.

As they were talking, the maids had already served dinner.

Butler Claude also came back with the happy Brienne, who was holding a blueberry tart in her hand.

Soon, the family finished their meal, and Lord Selwyn ordered Brienne's nurse to take her back to her room to listen to a story. He dismissed all the servants, and then took Garen to a tower in the southeast corner of Duskfall Hall.

"Master, where are you and the young master going so late at night?"

Claude asked with some confusion.

"I have something to do with Garlon. Please bring me two torches."

Earl Selwyn said calmly.

"Okay." Although Claude was still confused, he understood the master's temper. Since the master didn't say anything, he definitely didn't want him to know. As a butler, he knew the principle of doing more and asking fewer questions.

Garen secretly praised his father.

In fact, Claude is his father's most capable assistant and confidant.

But Earl Selwyn still did not tell Claude about the special features of the "Maid of Justice".

It's not that Earl Selwyn doesn't trust Claude, but he knows that the fewer people who know the secret, the better.

He trusted Claude, but that didn't mean Claude wouldn't betray him or leak secrets.

"Dad is a man who knows what's important and doesn't act on emotion!"

Garlon was somewhat impressed.

I also feel that it is right for me to reveal some of my abilities to my father.

Although he is the heir of the Mulin Hall, he is only eight years old after all and is unable to fully mobilize the resources of the Mulin Hall.

But Dad is different. He is the lord. When he gives an order, everyone on Tas Island has to obey him.

If he hides it from his father, he will have no choice but to wait for the random refresh of the death row prisoners. No one knows how long it will take to get a little bit of trial points.

And now, Earl Selwyn took him to kill monsters overnight.

The low tower in the southeast corner of Mulin Hall has a dungeon underneath where some prisoners are held.

Earl Selwyn took him to the dungeon, if not to kill someone, then what else was he going to do?
Earl Selwyn and Garlon each held a torch and came to the tower in the southeast corner in the dark.

"grown ups!"

Two guards at the door, wearing black robes, leather armor underneath, and long swords hanging from their waists, immediately saluted Earl Selwyn when they saw him.

Lord Selwyn nodded to them.

The two guards saluted and said nothing. They had no right to ask Earl Selwyn.

One of the guards sensibly opened the heavy door of the tower and led the way, taking Earl Selwyn and Garlon down the spiral stone steps to the dungeon below.

As the altitude slowly decreased, Garlon could clearly feel the temperature dropping below.

At the end of the stone steps, there is a long passage in front. It is much brighter here, with many torches hanging on the stone walls on both sides of the passage.

A man with one blind eye, tall and thin, slightly hunched, greasy and messy hair, wearing a gray robe, heard the noise and immediately walked out of a cubicle.

Seeing this man appear, the guards leading the way bowed their heads and saluted Earl Selwyn, then returned the same way with torches.

The slovenly man in the gray robe saw Earl Selwyn and asked curiously, "Sir, why are you here so late?"

"Sir, why did you bring Garlon here? It's dark and dirty here and it might scare the young master."

At this time, the one-eyed sloppy man also saw Garlon behind Earl Selwyn and frowned.

"Morken, Garlon is not as fragile as you think." Earl Selwyn shook his head.

"Hello, Uncle Moken."

Garlon spoke to the one-eyed sloppy man.

This one-eyed, sloppy man named Moken is actually Garlon's uncle and a branch of the Tas family.

During an island invasion more than ten years ago, his pregnant wife was raped and killed by pirates, and since then his character has become vicious and cruel.

Later, Earl Selwyn brought his soldiers and Mark, and killed all the pirates without leaving a single one alive. Mark lost one eye in that battle. Although he got his revenge, he was also disheartened. He never recovered from the blow and drank all day long.

Later, Earl Selwyn could no longer bear it and made him the keeper of the Duskfall dungeon.

Torturing prisoners gave Moken some pleasure other than drinking, so he did it for many years.

Apart from paying tribute to his wife and children, and buying wine, he rarely stepped out of the dungeon.

He didn't have a good temper towards anyone in Mulin Hall.

He is only very nice to Garlon.

Perhaps it was because Garlon was the son of Earl Selwyn, or perhaps it was because Garlon reminded him of the child in his dead wife's belly.

"Sir, are you bringing Garlon here?"

One-Eyed Moken nodded to Garlon, then looked at Earl Selwyn.

Lord Selwyn still shook his head. "Morken, go and bring over that stowaway from Reese two days ago. Also bring over Fisher, the man who killed the Grisha family. Remember to tie them up tightly."

One-Eyed Moken raised an eyebrow, but when he saw that Earl Selwyn didn't seem to want to explain, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Moken understood Earl Selwyn's temper. If he didn't want to say something, no matter how others asked, it would be useless.

Although Moken reeked of alcohol and looked dejected, he was very efficient. In just a short while, he pulled two people out of the dungeon.

These two men, one was a Rees man with extremely white skin, messy curly hair, thin figure and a submissive expression; the other was a man with a sturdy figure, sinister eyes, a hooked nose, about thirty years old, named Fisher.

Fisher killed Grisha, a wealthy merchant family on Tas Island, stole Grisha's treasure, and hid it.

Fisher was later captured by Earl Selwyn's men, but the treasure he had robbed was not found, so Earl Selwyn imprisoned him in the dungeon and interrogated him by Murken.

Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs with iron chains and shackles on their feet. Perhaps to prevent them from struggling and hurting Garlon, Moken tied several more hemp ropes around them, stuffed rags into their mouths, and tied them up with another hemp rope.

The stowaway Reese looked terrified, while the murderer named Fisher stared with a defiant look on his face.

"Moken, please step aside for now. This matter is more important. I will explain it to you when I have time."

Earl Selwyn said to Moken.

The curiosity in Moken's eyes grew stronger, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded happily and left the dungeon.

"Then I'll go get some wine from Claude. I heard the caravan brought a few barrels of golden wine from Qingting Island."

After Moken left, Earl Selwyn immediately looked at Garlon.

Garen nodded to his father and pulled out the "Maid of Justice" from behind.

The green glow on the sword of "Maid of Justice" is extremely conspicuous even in the darkness and firelight. The dim environment even makes the glow more beautiful.

After pulling out the "Maid of Justice", Garlon admired his father's mind even more.

Because one of the two prisoners chosen by Earl Selwyn was a stowaway, who must have offended the powerful in Rees and had not committed any serious crime.

One was a vicious murderer who killed a wealthy businessman's entire family.

This was obviously to help him test the Maid of Justice's abilities.

This was exactly what Garlon wanted.

Because Garlon also wanted to know how to obtain the system's judgment points.

Can it be obtained by killing anyone, or only by killing criminals?

Seeing that Garlon had actually drawn his sword, the stowaway Reese, who was brought out and kicked to the ground by Moken, immediately struggled in fear and made a series of low groans in his throat.

Garlon didn't waste any words and quickly stepped forward, and the "Maid of Justice" swept across his neck!

This time, Garlon did not swing the sword with both hands, nor did he use his full strength. He swept it with one hand, using 60% to 70% of his strength.

The "Maid of Justice" immediately drew a blue arc of light and cut off the head of Reese's stowaway!

Since the "Maid of Justice" has a burning effect on people other than Garlon, there is no blood splattering, but there are red burn marks on the corpse and the severed head, and there is a slight smoke.

After killing the Reese stowaway, Garlon immediately opened the panel and took a look.

"No?"

When Garlon saw the last part of the panel, the judgment point was still 0!

Garen frowned slightly.

There are two situations now.

The first is that to obtain judgment points, one needs to kill someone who has committed a serious crime. This Reese stowaway may not have committed any serious crime, so killing him will not earn any judgment points.

Secondly, the system may have some kind of "cooling down period", and it takes a period of time to cool down before you can judge others again and gain judgment points.

While Garlon was thinking, Fisher on the ground next to him was struggling frantically.

He hadn't expected that Lord Selwyn would bring his son to kill someone so late at night! He hadn't even revealed the location of the treasure yet, so how could they attack him so quickly?
"Can't you?"

Earl Selwyn spoke at this time, ignoring Fisher who was struggling on the ground.

Garen nodded.

"Try again." Earl Selwyn was not disappointed, but pointed to Fisher on the ground.

Fisher struggled harder and his eyes became more ferocious.

Garen nodded.

He came up to Fisher and raised the Maiden of Justice.

Perhaps because he was worried that the process was not right, Garlon even muttered something this time just like he did during the day.

"In the name of the morning light, I sentence you to death!"

After saying that, Garlon waved down the Maid of Justice!
With a crack, Fisher's head, with its eyes wide open, fell to the ground instantly.

To the "Maid of Justice", the human body is no different from cardboard and will break at the slightest touch.

After killing Fisher, Garlon immediately opened the panel again.

Still no?

Now Garlon had a headache.

The process was correct, and he even added the verdict.

This Fisher is also a proven murderer, and his crime is much more serious than that committed by the bald scarred man during the day.

Why haven't I received any judgment points yet?
“Is there really a cooldown period?”

Garen felt helpless.

But after thinking about it, I think it makes sense.

After all, if there is no cooling time, he will kill people crazily and soon become invincible. By then, the dragon in front of him will be defeated with just one sword.

"Father, it still doesn't work." Garlon shook his head at Earl Selwyn.

"What do you think is the reason?"

Earl Selwyn did not suspect that Garlon had lied to him before dinner, but asked Garlon for his opinion.

“It may take some time for it to take effect.”

Garen expressed his guess.

Lord Selwyn thought about it and nodded.

"I see. I'll bring you here to try again tomorrow."

A touch of emotion flashed in Garen's eyes.

Earl Selwyn really trusted him.

If the father of another lord heard his son say these words and saw that there was no effect after killing two people, he would probably have been angry a long time ago.

Not only was Earl Selwyn not angry, he also planned to continue cooperating with his experiment.

Garlon silently gave his father a thumbs up.

"Let's go."

Earl Selwyn patted Garlon on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the stone steps.

Soon, the two arrived at the tower door on the first floor.

"When Moken comes back, you and Moken will deal with the bodies in the dungeon together."

Earl Selwyn gave an instruction to the two guards at the door and left with Garlon.

Back in his room, Garlon looked at his panel, feeling helpless.

But he didn't dwell on it too much.

With his father's cooperation, he would eventually figure out how to obtain Judgment Points, so there was no need to rush.

……

The next morning, Garen continued to study with Maester Amor, but this time he brought Brienne with him.

Brienne is very obedient. Although she is lively and sometimes acts like a spoiled brat with Garen, she listens to adults and rarely rebels.

Bachelor Amo asked her to look through the picture book first, and she did so obediently, enjoying it very much.

After Maester Amor finished teaching Garlon, he began to explain the stories in the picture book to Brienne, and used the stories to teach Brienne some spellings of the common language of Westeros.

The morning passed by in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Garlon was still in the Godwood, receiving training from Sir Goodwin.

Today we have sword training and archery training.

Garlon's talent in archery is stronger than that in swordsmanship. He learned how to aim, draw the bow and release the bow very early on, and his movements have been practiced very standardly. All that remains is practice to perfection and master the skills.

Archery is much more interesting than swordsmanship, and Garlon enjoys practicing it.

To his surprise, when the training was almost over, he clearly felt that his touch was getting better and better, and he hit the bull's eye many times in a row.

He opened his panel out of curiosity, and then found that Archery (7%) had become Archery (8%)!
This was an unexpected surprise.

It is not known whether his predecessor had reached a bottleneck in his training, or whether his mental strength became stronger and his comprehension ability was improved after he traveled through time.

After practicing swordsmanship and archery, Garlon hurriedly said goodbye to Sir Goodwin and returned to Duskfall Hall.

Lord Selwyn was already waiting for him in the hall.

Garlon took the hot towel handed to him by the maid, wiped the sweat from his face and neck, and followed Earl Selwyn to the dungeon in the southeast corner of the castle again.

The guards during the day were different from those last night.

Earl Selwyn took Garlon down to the basement, and this time Moken did not come to meet them.

Garen heard bursts of intense howling coming from the depths of the dungeon.

Apparently, Moken was torturing a prisoner.

"Merken!"

Lord Selwyn called out towards the depths of the dungeon.

Soon, there was a sound of an iron door opening, and Moken was wiping the blood off his hands with a piece of linen.

"grown ups!"

Moken immediately nodded to Earl Selwyn, and then smiled at Garen.

"Merken, pick out two prisoners like last night," Earl Selwyn ordered.

"it is good."

Moken nodded, didn't ask any questions, turned around happily and went to select the prisoners.

Soon, he came over with two prisoners who were tied up.

One was an old man with gray hair and beard and a burly figure.

One was a middle-aged woman with a panicked look and a harsh expression.

After Earl Selwyn's introduction, Garlon learned about the crimes they had committed.

This old man with white hair and beard was a soldier when he was young, and later retired to become a fisherman.

Not long ago, he had an argument with another fisherman and held a grudge against him, so he kicked the other person into the sea while fishing.

Who knew that the fisherman he kicked into the sea was lucky enough not to drown, but was washed ashore by the waves to Storm's End.

Later, he returned to Tasman by boat and found Earl Selwyn to accuse him.

So Earl Selwyn arrested the old man.

The crime of the middle-aged woman next to her was to mistreat her stepdaughter.

After her husband died, this woman treated her seven-year-old stepdaughter harshly, making her sleep in a pigpen and eat pig food. She also beat her with fists and kicks, and even hit her with iron tools.

Later, the neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and reported it to the lord.

Lord Selwyn imprisoned her and planned to hang her on a certain day.

Moken kicked the woman to the ground.

But he did not attack the old man with white hair and beard.

The old man looked at Earl Selwyn, knelt down on the ground, said nothing, and held his head high.

"Murken."

"I know. I'll go up and take a look."

Moken smiled, went up the stairs consciously.

To be honest, he was surprised to see the two beheaded bodies in the dungeon after returning last night.

He was especially surprised when he discovered that the wounds not only did not bleed, but also had charred marks when he was handling the corpse.

He almost guessed what had happened, but didn't say anything.

After Moken left, Garlon immediately drew out the "Maid of Justice".

He walked up to the middle-aged woman with a mean face.

"In the name of the morning light, I sentence you to death!"

Garlon didn't say anything nonsense or make any unnecessary movements, he just chopped down with his sword!
"Click"

Heads fell to the ground.

The old man kneeling on the ground next to him looked at this scene, frowned and looked surprised.

He didn't expect that Earl Selwyn would bring his son to the dungeon to kill people.

And it was Garlon who did it.

Also, is this the "Maiden of Justice" that Moken mentioned? What a dazzling sword!
Garlon ignored the old man's gaze, his mind now focused on the panel.

"You actually got 3 Judgment Points?"

Looking at the changes on the panel, Garlon's heart suddenly became excited.
