Game of Thrones: Dawn of Justice

Chapter 19: Four years have passed, fourteen-year-old Garen, a luxurious panel
Earl Selwyn was a man of action, and that evening he held talks with Earl Leighton.

Then, the marriage between Garlon and Helena was settled.

Earl Selwyn and Earl Leighton agreed that when Garlon turned fourteen, they would enter into a marriage contract and hold an engagement ceremony.

Garlon was not dissatisfied with this, as he had no obsession with free love.

His father picked a top-notch, rich and beautiful girl for him. He is not like the playboys in some TV dramas who insist on pursuing free love.

The next day was Renly's naming day, and many prominent nobles from Westeros came. Under the leadership of his father, Garen became familiar with many nobles who appeared in the original novel.

During the banquet, Garen brought Brienne and had a friendly exchange with Helena who was holding Linness's hand.

During this time, Garlon carefully observed Helena's speech, behavior, and demeanor, and found that Helena did not have the arrogant and conceited temperament of a young lady, but was rather approachable. Unlike some noble ladies, she did not enjoy musicals and tea parties, but instead enjoyed plants and books.

This may be related to the strong academic atmosphere in the university city.

Garlon was very satisfied with Helena's personality and appearance.

According to the steps discussed by his father and Earl Leighton, he would probably marry Helena when he was 16 to 18 years old.

The War of the Usurper had just ended at that time, so the timing was perfect.

Garen felt that Helena should be satisfied with him as well.

This can be seen from the occasional shyness and blush on Helena's face when she is with him.

Although Garlon has never been in love, there is a classic saying in his previous life: A girl's blush is better than anything else.

What surprised Garlon a little was that the little bad girl Linnis liked him very much. When the two families were parting, she burst into tears and held Garlon tightly and refused to let him go, which made Garlon feel a little amused and helpless.

Although this future "sister-in-law" might be a bit of a scumbag, she is reasonable and Garlon can't really hate her.

With the Hightower family as an ally, Garlon's toothbrush and toothpaste will no longer have to worry about sales in the River Reach, even in the Westerly Territory and the northwestern region of Dorne.

The Hightower family can be traced back to the Dawn Age. They were once one of the kings of the ancients. They have a profound heritage and a very complete trade system.

Garlon felt that after he returned, he could invent one or two more money-making things, and then cooperate with the Hightower family to sell them. When the two families joined forces, no one in Westeros would dare to touch them.

The day after Renly's name day, Lord Selwyn took Garlon and Brienne back to the Isle of Tarth.

Garen also wanted to go back and continue his training and studies.

After all, Helena is only eleven years old. Both he and Helena are too young to have a romantic relationship. It’s better to wait a few years.

Now all I have to do is make a good impression on her.

Back on Tas Island, Garlon's life returned to normal.

However, as he got older and had adequate nutrition, Garlon clearly felt that his physical fitness was improving faster.

Just like that, time passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, another four years have passed.

……

A lot has happened in these four years.

For the Stormlands, the biggest event was the death of Stephen Baratheon and his wife.

A few months after Renly's naming day, King Aerys, whether on a whim, to guard against his own son, or for some other purpose, ordered Lord Steffen Baratheon to lead his men to the continent of Essos to select a bride for Rhaegar in the Free Cities with silver hair, purple eyes, and pure Valyrian blood.

When Duke Stephen Baratheon was young, he fought side by side with Aerys in the War of the Ninepenny Kings. The two had a good relationship. Perhaps out of pride or for some other reason, Duke Stephen actually agreed and took his wife to the continent of Essos.

However, Duke Stephen did not find a suitable bride in the Free City. Even on his way back to the city, when he was about to reach Storm's End, he ran aground in Shipbreaker Bay and all the people on the ship died.

The Duke and Duchess' unexpected death was a major event for Stormlands.

When Robert, who was far away in the Eyrie, heard about this, he became furious and heartbroken, and cursed King Aerys.

But Lord Jon Arryn persuaded him and personally took Robert to Storm's End, helping Robert inherit the title of Lord of Storm's End.

Although Robert was persuaded by Jon Arryn and suppressed his resentment and anger, his hatred for the Targaryen family was completely buried.

This is also normal. In Robert's eyes, Duke and Duchess Stephen were indeed killed by Aerys.

Robert also came to hate Rhaegar.

Because Stephen and his wife went to Essos in the name of finding a bride for Rhaegar.

Jon Arryn also noticed that Robert was young and hot-headed, and he hated the king and Prince Rhaegar. He was worried that if Robert stayed in the Stormlands, he would cause trouble, so he continued to bring Robert to the Eyrie to teach him, on the one hand to teach Robert how to be a qualified duke, and on the other hand to suppress and calm the pain and anger in Robert's heart.

At the funeral of Duke and Duchess Stephen, Garen also comforted Robert, but to no avail.

Because the Duke and Duchess of Stephen died so tragically.

There were strong winds and waves in Shipbreaker Bay. After the shipwreck, the people of Storm's End spent a week salvaging the Duke and Duchess Stephen.

By that time, the body had been completely soaked and rotten, and it was a horrible sight.

Robert was heartbroken when he saw the bodies of his parents.

This kind of hatred is hard to forget.

Garen guessed that the main reason why Robert hated the Targaryen family so much and wanted to kill them all was because of the revenge for his parents.

He already hated Aerys and Rhaegar, and then Rhaegar stole his fiancée and made him look bad. The hatred for his father and mother's murder, plus the hatred for his wife being taken away, the buffs were completely stacked.

Garen put himself in their shoes and thought that if it were him, he would never let the Targaryen family go.

If it were him, he would have split the earthworms in half and shaken the egg yolks in the Targaryen fields.

Because of the stimulation of Garlon's military power and the death of his parents, Robert no longer indulged himself in the Eyrie, but began to train madly, hoping to take revenge one day.

And things were even more turbulent in King's Landing.

After a series of events, Iris became more and more insane and killed more and more frequently.

From the Wall to Dorne, commoners and nobles alike began to call him the Mad King in private.

As Aerys's eldest son, Rhaegar was also under a lot of pressure.

Two years ago, he married Elia Martell, the daughter of Prince of Dorne.

However, Aerys became increasingly wary and dissatisfied with Rhaegar.

In order to protect himself and his wife, Rhaegar simply took Elia to live on Dragonstone.

But even so, Aerys did not have a good face towards Rhaegar and his daughter-in-law Elia.

He even refused to embrace Rhaegar's children or attend the namedays of his granddaughters and grandsons.

The conflict between the king and his son was exposed.

With the intensification of royal conflicts and the madness of King Aerys, undercurrents are also surging in the Seven Kingdoms.

……

The outside world is in turmoil, but the island of Tas is calm and peaceful.

The island of Tarth stands on the edge of the continent of Westeros. Lord Selwyn lives in seclusion with Garlon and Brienne, and no one can disturb them.

Garlon usually pays attention to changes in the situation, but only to grasp the direction of the plot. His main focus is on improving himself.

In recent years, with the successful development of the toothbrush and toothpaste business, Mulin Hall has become increasingly wealthy.

After Earl Selwyn became rich, he was not stingy at all and spent a large amount of money on educating his son.

He reached a deal with the high-ranking nobles of Tyrosh, Pentos, and Lys, using gold coins to purchase some serious criminals and death row prisoners, transporting them to the island of Tarth, and having Garlon execute them in secret.

Starting last year, Earl Selwyn began contacting Yunkai, Astapor and Meereen in Slaver's Bay and began purchasing prisoners from Slaver's Bay.

With his father's full support, Garlon tried many prisoners and gained a large number of trial points.

And all these judgment points were added by him to the basic attributes.

……

In the sacred woods behind the Dusk Hall Castle, Garlon was currently carrying out his training for the day.

Unlike before, Sir Goodwin did not have a sparring partner.

Since last year, Sir Goodwin has announced that Garlon has "graduated".

Because whether it was actual combat or swordsmanship, Garen had already surpassed him, and there was really nothing left for him to teach.

Garen began to train on his own to improve himself. "Huh!"

Garlon was seen with his upper body naked, wearing a pair of black linen trousers fastened with a narrow black leather belt. He was carrying a wooden stake the size of a millstone on his back and doing push-ups.

"318..."

"319..."

Sweat flowed down Garlon's cheeks, and his exposed upper body was also covered with sweat stains.

Now 14 years old, Garlon has an even more perfect body shape. He is nearly 1.8 meters tall and has clear muscle lines. Although his muscles are not big, they look full of beauty and explosive power.

Carrying a wooden stake weighing nearly 30 kilograms, he can still do more than 300 push-ups. You can imagine Garlon's strength and endurance.

"350!"

"call!"

After finally completing the push-up quota for today, Garlon turned sideways, shook off the wooden stake on his back, sat on the grass, and gasped for breath to calm his heartbeat.

After four years, Garlon's facial features have fully developed.

The black hair was slightly curly and cut into short pieces. The black hair was wet with sweat and the ends were a little messy. Under the black hair were a pair of clear blue eyes with a faint light gray circle around the edges of the pupils.

She has a straight nose, fair skin, and thin, rosy lips.

Coupled with the muscular lines on his body that make women unable to take their eyes off him, he looks perfect.

It feels like a young Keanu Reeves.

Garlon took a towel from the side and wiped the sweat off his forehead and face, while calling out his own panel.

[Judgment Point: 10]

"Hmm? The strength increased by another 0.01? Not bad."

Finding that his strength had increased by 0.01 compared to this morning, a smile appeared on Garlon's face.

Looking at his now luxurious panel, Garlon was in a good mood.

Over the past four years, he had hardly any rest, and the unremitting training, coupled with the trial of a large number of prisoners, made him strong enough to crush all the knights on the island of Tas.

Garlon had fought against the vassals of the Tas family and some free knights.

Apart from Sir Goodwin, there were two or three other knights of superb strength, and the others were hardly a match for him.

There's no way, his basic strength and agility are just too high.

The strength and agility of a normal adult male are around 10. A well-trained knight's strength is probably between 13-15, and his agility is between 12-14.

Garlon's strength and agility are both above 18!

In terms of basic physical fitness, Garlon crushed them.

Besides, Garlon's swordsmanship was not something they could match.

The swordsmanship level of the free knights is roughly between 10% and 30%.

The swordsmanship level of a well-trained knight is approximately between 30% and 40%.

For a good swordsman like Sir Goodwin, his swordsmanship level is probably in the range of 50%-55%.

However, Garlon's swordsmanship has reached 62%.

Such swordsmanship is considered top-notch in the seven countries.

The key is that his mental power is particularly high, reaching 19.14.

The normal person's mental strength is only about 10.

The stronger the will or the more intelligent the mind, the higher the mental power, but it generally does not exceed 15.

And Garlon is close to 19.14.

With nearly double the mental strength of an ordinary person, Garlon has sharp insight, thinking ability, on-the-spot response ability and nerve reaction speed.

This high mental power, combined with Garlon's super strength, agility and swordsmanship, can achieve the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.

Garlon estimated that he could now easily defeat James, who was a year older than him.

Even if he fights Robert again, he can win.

"However, in a fair fight, I'm probably still no match for Barristan and Arthur Dayne..."

Garen thought with a smile.

Of course, he couldn't win in a fair fight, but if it was a life-and-death duel, he would definitely win.

After all, he has the "Maid of Justice" who is indestructible and can cut through anything.

The Holy Sword greatly increases combat power.

The growth in these four years was somewhat beyond Garlon's expectations.

The main reason was the support of his father, Earl Selwyn.

He had not expected that Lord Selwyn could get him so many prisoners.

He was somewhat glad that he had revealed some of his abilities to his father.

Otherwise, how could he have achieved such a big improvement just by his own efforts and secret development?

There are actually not many death row prisoners on Tasmania itself. On average, only one death row prisoner is released every month.

Ordinary petty thieves have too low a sin value, and killing them will not provide Garlon with any trial points.

Earl Selwyn will use his connections to get some prisoners from Westeros, but the number will not be large.

After all, they were competing with the Night's Watch for soldiers. If they took too many, the Night's Watch would definitely find out.

Therefore, the prisoners for Garlon's trial were mainly purchased from the continent of Essos.

During these four years, he probably beheaded seventy or eighty death row prisoners from the island of Tas, and nearly two hundred prisoners from the continent of Essos.

After killing so many people, his basic attributes finally reached close to 20.

"Huh? My Twilight Star bloodline development level has also increased?"

Suddenly, Garlon's gaze froze for a moment, because he discovered that in the legendary bloodline column, the development degree of his Dusk Star bloodline had actually changed from 8% to 9%.

He didn't add any of his own legendary bloodline, this was a natural improvement.

"It seems that my own talent is not low either."

Garen thought with a smile.

The Dusk Star bloodline is the legendary bloodline inherited by the Tas family from their ancestors. Garlon currently does not know what its specific effects are.

However, his body has grown rapidly in recent years, which is definitely related to the increased development of the Dusk Star bloodline.

He is now 14 years old and is nearly 1.8 meters tall.

When he is 16 years old, his height should reach 1.9 meters.

The Dusk Star bloodline definitely has the characteristics of being tall and having a strong physique.

Others remain to be explored.

"Brother, father and Maester Amo sent me to call you!"

Just as Garlon was happily admiring his panel, a cheerful voice came from outside the sacred forest.

PS: There aren't that many death row inmates. The protagonist doesn't kill one a day...
