Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 42 Qingting Island

   After staying in Yangwu City for three days, watching the transport ship full of food and daily necessities heading towards Yingzui Island, Samwell finally breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Viscount Brandon.

  So, under the warm welcome of Viscount Blanton, and under Miss Alice's resentful eyes, Samwell and his party embarked on the seaboat to Arbor Island and set sail.

  The whole journey was calm and calm, and only six days later, the ship successfully crossed the Red Wing Strait and arrived at Qingting Island.

  This island is famous for its rich wine, especially the golden wine of Qingting Island, which is the most sought after wine by the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and the price is also extremely expensive, which can be called "liquid gold".

  However, what really made the Redwyne family one of the most influential nobles in the river bay is obviously not the wine, but the Arbor Island fleet.

  This fleet, together with the Royal Fleet and the Iron Fleet, are called the three major fleets of Westeros, and they are important maritime forces that can influence the situation of the Seven Kingdoms.

  Under the afternoon sun, Samwell walked down the trestle slowly.

  The wharf was very lively, and laborers carrying goods could be seen everywhere. They yelled loudly and loaded the big bags of goods onto the merchant ships.

  Looking at the familiar scene in front of them, Samwell's guards all showed nostalgic expressions.

  Just half a year ago, they were still the same as these people, carrying heavy cargo every day, but could barely fill their stomachs, but now, their fate has completely changed.

  Thinking of this, the guards all looked at the lord in front of him very eagerly.

The arrival of Samwell and his party did not cause any disturbance. Although Todd Flowers had written back in advance expressing Dominic's visit, it was obvious that with Samwell's current reputation, it was impossible to get the Redwyne family's big fanfare. welcome.

  In fact, none of their family members came, only a servant was sent to greet them.

   This is a bit too much.

  Even after Samwell entered the castle and drank tea in the drawing room for a long time, he still failed to see Earl Paxter.

  At this time, even Todd Buddha's face became extremely gloomy, but Samwell still had that relaxed look.

In fact, he already had some expectations for the cold reception of the Redwyne family. After all, according to Mrs. Olenna's plan, although the new territory of Yingzui Island belonged to Samwell in name, the actual controller was Redwynn. Wen family.

   Now that Samwell refuses to be manipulated, Earl Paxter will naturally not give him a good face.

  However, he was not in a hurry.

  After reaching a material supply agreement with Viscount Brandon of Yangwu City, the food crisis in the territory has been temporarily lifted, so he no longer needs the support of the Redwyne family so urgently.

  As for brandy, he didn't have to ask the Redwyne family to help sell it.

Although the Redwyne family is indeed the best partner, after all, they have mature sales channels and can deliver brandy to the wine tables of the nobles in Westeros at the fastest speed, and the Qingting Island Winery It is also easier to make brandy famous if it is sold under the name of the brand, but if they don't know the good and the bad, then it is not impossible to change the partner.

  After calming down, Samwell didn't care anymore, just to see what kind of tricks that Earl Paxter can play.

  Just waited until the sun went down, and Samwell and his party were so hungry that their bellies started to growl, and finally someone walked into the living room.

   "Oh, why is it so dark? Come on, send some candles!"

   "Sorry, sorry, Sam, for making you wait so long."

   Entering were Earl Paxter's twin sons, Horace Redwyne and Hope Redwyne.

  The appearance of the two is almost carved out of the same mold, with a square face, orange hair, and freckles all over the face.

  However, the two brothers are still very easy to distinguish.

  The elder brother Horace is taller, and his eyes are more aggressive, looking at everyone as if they are about to fight, while the younger brother Hopper, his words are slurred, as if his mouth is full of saliva and he has not swallowed it.

   "It's okay, the journey is tiring, and we just rested for half a day." Samwell said with a smile.

   Horace stared at Samwell for a while, and said:

   "Sam, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have changed a lot."

  Huo Bo also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I have lost a lot of weight. Have you not had enough to eat recently?"

  Horace immediately said: "It's really hard to get enough food in places like the Crimson Mountains, hahaha..."

  The two brothers burst out laughing as they spoke.

  Samwell smiled and looked at the two quietly, as if looking at two fools.

  Memories belonging to the original owner surged out, making him realize that he had a relationship with these two brothers.

  Before Earl Randall had not completely given up on his eldest son, he brought Samwell to Arbor Island, hoping to make a marriage contract between him and Earl Paxter's daughter Desmera Redwyne.

  But it was a pity that Samwell did not live up to expectations at the time. Not only did he fail to win the favor of Earl Paxter, but he also cried bitterly under the teasing and teasing of the two brothers Horace and Hope, and lost all face.

   "It's really easy to get hungry." Samwell didn't care about the ridicule of the two brothers, "That's why I came to Qingting Island, hoping to get help from the Redwynn family to support some food and supplies in Yingzui Island."

  Although a supply contract has been signed with Yangwucheng, Samwell doesn't mind having one more supplier.

   Otherwise, let the Brandon family control the food lifeline of Yingzui Islet, what if Viscount Brandon turns his face one day? Or bring up the old story again, what if he insists on marrying Miss Alice?

   "Well..." Horace smiled reservedly and said, "Let's wait until my father comes back."

   "The Earl is not on the island?"

   "Yes, yes, but my father went to inspect the territory."

   "Then when will he come back?"

   "It's hard to say, maybe tomorrow, or next week... After all, Qingting Island is so big, I don't know where my father is now."

  When Samwell heard this, he still smiled on the surface, but he had already cursed in his heart.

   "Since this is the case, don't bother me any more. We still have something to do, so we will leave tomorrow."

   "Are you leaving tomorrow?" Hearing that Samwell said he was going to leave, Horace was stunned.

   "Yes." Samwell smiled slightly, "I still have to go to Old Town."

   "Then you will come to Qingting Island again when you return?" Hopper couldn't help asking.

   "We'll see the situation at that time." Samwell said instead, "Maybe we will dock again, and I hope to see the Earl at that time."

  Horace twitched the corners of his mouth, his face cloudy and uncertain.

   After a while, he forced a smile and said:

   "In that case, I'll send someone to arrange a room for you to rest early."

   "Okay, then I will trouble you."

  Samwell didn't hesitate at all, he got up and walked outside.

  Horace and his brother looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.

  But soon, the two brothers exchanged glances tacitly, then quickened their pace, sending Samwell out from left to right.

  The door of the living room is not wide enough for the three of them to walk side by side, but the Horace Brothers did not evade at all, but instead took the opportunity to squeeze in the middle—

  Boom!

   There was a muffled sound, but Samwell stepped out the door calmly, while the two brothers staggered and almost fell over.

   "Ah! I'm really sorry, are you all right?" Samwell turned back in a fuss.

  Horras endured the burning pain on his shoulder and the uncontrollable shock in his heart, and said:

   "It's okay, we accidentally tripped."

   "So it is." Samwell suddenly realized, "I thought you two didn't have enough to eat."

   After finishing speaking, he walked away without paying any attention to the flushed faces of the two brothers.
