Based on Morgan's performance in the tournament today.
Of course, this is not the only similar invitation letter he received today.
It's just that the other ones are either invitations to cocktail parties from some minor nobles, or letters of courtship from some noble girls, and there is even an invitation to a party salon from a noble lady.
Morgan left only one or two invitations that might have been useful.
The invitation letter in his hand from the famous "Diana" at the high-end brothel "Coast of Love" on Silk Street was one of them.
"Woooo..."
The cold wind howled across the street corner and made a wailing sound.
Morgan put away the letter, tightened the wide black hood on his head, and strode into the darkness.
As the martial arts competition begins.
These days, King's Landing is almost becoming a real carnival city that never sleeps.
Late at night and early in the morning, you can still see a large number of people partying and wandering on the streets everywhere.
The shops naturally welcome this very much. As long as there is business coming to their door, they are eager to stay open all night without closing their doors.
Back at the Stark castle.
The night was already very dark.
Morgan quietly returned to his room.
When I opened my eyes again.
The sky outside the window was hazy and it was already dawn.
"Good morning, Mr. Morgan..."
"morning..."
After finishing washing, Morgan walked out of the room. The servants he encountered bowed their heads and saluted Morgan. Some younger and bolder maids dared to say hello to him.
Morgan was in a good mood and nodded in response.
Before this, even though the servants would salute Morgan when they met him, they were far from being so enthusiastic, and they were just perfunctory.
After all, his status in the Stark family is only that of swordsman.
The reason why these servants behave like this today.
There would be no other reason than the tourney held yesterday, and Morgan knew it.
We walked all the way to the usual restaurant on the first floor and just sat down at the dining table.
A servant appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Soon, Morgan walked out of the restaurant and strode towards the second floor of the castle.
Eddard Stark invited him, and he couldn't refuse.
Step into the dining room on the second floor.
I saw Eddard Stark of the King's Hand, his two daughters, and the middle-aged female officer from King's Landing accompanying them.
"grown ups..."
"Here you go, sit down by yourself..."
Morgan just sat at the big round table.
At this time, a servant quickly brought a breakfast that he had often eaten before.
"How about it? Are you sure you will get the first place prize?"
Eddard Stark cut the deer steak into his mouth and looked at Morgan and asked.
"certainly..."
"I just went there for the winning prize..."
Morgan nodded and smiled.
His calm tone revealed absolute confidence.
To those who don't know better, Morgan may seem arrogant.
But Ed Stark didn't think Morgan was arrogant.
He still knows a lot about Morgan's strength.
The two continued to chat.
Arya Stark, who was usually lively and talkative, was much quieter today, just staring at the teacher who was chatting with her father.
Sansa Stark is just the opposite.
The colder Prince Joffrey was to her, the more she hated Morgan.
So, the whole table.
In addition to Sansa Stark, who was eating breakfast with her head down, the middle-aged female officers were also listening to Eddard Stark and Morgan chatting about the tourney.
Soon, Sansa Stark finished her breakfast, put down her chopsticks and just said "I'm full" before getting up and leaving.
Eddard Stark was a little confused when he saw this. This eldest daughter who had always been a well-behaved lady seemed to be a little different, but he didn't care.
But Morgan on the side saw it.
This Sansa Stark seemed a little angry.
And still angry with myself.
Because when he just looked over, he could clearly see the ugly look on Sansa Stark's face when she looked at him.
Morgan thought for a moment and realized that he had nothing to offend against Sansa Stark.
Even if the other party hates me, there must be a reason.
But soon, Morgan figured out the trick.
A month ago, he offended the prince Joffrey.
Later, Arya Stark's direwolf bit Joffrey.
It also brought the conflict between Queen Cersei Lannister and Eddard Stark, who became Hand of the King, into the open.
In this way, it is strange that the moody and dandy prince Joffrey has a good look towards Sansa Stark, who is a Stark family member.
Thinking of this, Morgan had only one comment about Sansa Stark: "A stupid girl who only wants to be the queen."
finish breakfast.
Under the leadership of Ed Stark, a group of people set out for the Royal Garden again.
Today is the second day of the tournament.
After a whole day of competition yesterday.
The lively atmosphere in the entire King's Landing City became more and more fanatical.
On the way to the Royal Gardens.
Morgan and other people could clearly feel that the crowds that flocked to the Royal Gardens were larger and more lively.
The streets are densely packed with people.
However, ordinary people would not dare to block the convoy of powerful nobles.
The Stark family's motorcade quickly headed to the royal gardens under the protection of guards.
It's just that Morgan's performance in yesterday's martial arts competition was too exciting and impressive.
The large team had just left the streets of the aristocratic district not long ago.
Morgan's figure riding on the back of the orange horse "Carrot" was quickly recognized.
So, the next scene appeared.
"Morgan, I still pressure you today, but you must win..."
"Morgan, look at me, I'm here..."
"Ahhh...Morgan, Morgan I love you..."
"Morgan, some people say that your opponent today is the "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister. Can you beat him?"
"..."
A large crowd followed the Stark family motorcade, and people kept shouting to Morgan.
Morgan just smiled and said nothing, and quickly walked towards the royal garden under the protection of the guards.
Time passed slowly.
The light group in the sky becomes warmer and warmer.
The Stark family's large team also arrived at the tournament venue in the Royal Garden.
The grandstand area around the big stadium was crowded with people.
Morgan separated from Ed Stark and his group at the entrance of the arena.
They went straight to the stadium bleachers area.
Morgan rode straight to the meeting point for the tournament contestants.
Today is the second day of the tournament.
After yesterday's first round of preliminary rounds, most of the participating knights in the three competition systems have been eliminated.
What follows is a battle between yesterday's victors.
Compared with yesterday, today's martial arts tournament battle will undoubtedly be more intense and exciting.
Arrive at the meeting point for the event.
Morgan could obviously find that there were far fewer knights around the assembly point.
He wasn't surprised either. He tied "Carrot" in the temporary stable and strode towards the cabin at the meeting point.
But before he reached the wooden house, he heard several knights gathered in front of him chatting about something.
"I really can't believe that Gregor Clegane, the "Mountain", and Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers", would both fall..."
"I heard that Gregor Clegane was defeated because Loras Tyrell rode a mare in heat, which caused him to fall..."
"This is a bit underhanded..."
"But this is a good thing for us..."
"You are too happy too early. Without those two, there is Sandor Clegane the "Hound", Jaime Lannister the Kingkiller, and the one who won all three battles yesterday." Marksman "Morgan", I heard that he is now considered by the bookmakers in the city to be the number one winner in the "Arrow Contest" format..."
"Of course I know this, but that's not what I'm talking about..."
"What I'm talking about is that there were originally eight winners today. Now those two have lost their qualifications, leaving only seven. The competition between the two means that one person will vacate and directly enter the winner's final tomorrow. , how lucky is this?”
"Yes, you are indeed very lucky. Let's see who will be the lucky one today..."
"Will the opponent be determined by drawing lots this time?"
"probably..."
"Don't worry, even if it's not us, we still have to raise objections..."
Several knights talked in low voices, as if they wanted others to hear.
Morgan continued toward the cabin.
At this time, the door of the wooden house was suddenly opened from the inside.
I saw the white-haired old man I saw yesterday walking out of the wooden house, and the soldier behind him was holding the jar that appeared in the "Team Melee Competition" competition format in the afternoon yesterday.
Obviously, the opponents for today's second round of jousting will be decided by drawing lots.
Just as all the participating knights thought, after the white-haired old man briefly explained the rules, the seven winners of the horse spear began to draw lots to decide their respective opponents.
And inside the jar, there was a wordless note.
Drawing that one means you will get a bye in this competition and directly enter the winner's final tomorrow.
Soon, one knight came forward and each took out a piece of paper.
Immediately afterwards, all the knights began to report the numbers on the slips of paper. The one with the same number would be the opponent of this competition.
The rules are simple.
When Morgan opened the note in his hand and looked at the blank space on it, he smiled.
This may mean that the more indifferent you are, the luckier you will be.
Seeing that the lucky one was Morgan, some other knights were somewhat relieved.
Morgan's performance yesterday was so strong that it really put pressure on everyone.
Now that he has been given a bye, it means that he cannot meet the opponent, which can be regarded as a good thing.
Soon, the lineup for this round of competition came out.
Sandor Clegane the Hound versus Ser Mesir;
Jaime Lannister versus Ser Bartlett;
"..."
It didn't take long.
As the white-haired old man finished speaking.
The two participating knights in the first group each rushed out on horseback holding giant wooden spears and ran towards the main venue.
Collection center.
Morgan had already walked to the temporary stables and untied the reins of "Carrot".
The entire second round of "Jousting" competition format has nothing to do with him. The time until the next "Arrow Tournament" is not short. He has no intention of staying here, but is going to go to the stage to experience it, and take a look at the hunting dog Sang. The battle between Dor Clegane and Jaime Lannister.
Although Morgan participated in the tourney because he challenged Jaime Lannister in public.
Originally, he thought he would meet the other person today.
As a result, I got a bye.
It now seems that he will definitely meet Jaime Lannister in tomorrow's Tournament of Champions final.
After all, the king's orders cannot be disobeyed.
Of course, there is a premise now, that is, the opponent can only win but not lose in today's competition.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be qualified to face him.
When Morgan quietly appeared in front of the stands of several members of the Stark family.
Ed Stark was obviously surprised, while Arya Stark happily invited the teacher to sit next to her.
Morgan's arrival obviously surprised some of the surrounding nobles.
After he explained his purpose.
Soon, a short, average-looking but handsome young man wearing an exquisite robe stood up and greeted Morgan.
Morgan also met Petyr Baelish, the finance minister of the kingdom known as "Little Finger" for the first time.
Then there is the youngest brother of the current king Robert Baratheon: Renly Baratheon.
The Minister of Justice, who had won Littlefinger because of Morgan's victory, had a fairly friendly attitude toward Morgan.
With this powerful noble minister taking the initiative to say hello.
Some other nobles around him also stood up and nodded to get acquainted with Morgan.
When Morgan finished saying hello, he was able to sit next to the student Arya Stark and start watching the competition.
The first group of battles in the arena ahead have entered a fever pitch.
The two knights were fighting fiercely with wooden spears in hand.
When one of them fell off his horse after being accidentally hit in the head by his opponent's spear.
The stands immediately burst into extremely warm cheers.
And watched the victorious knight leave proudly amid the cheers of countless spectators.
Morgan felt something different in his heart.
The second round of "Jousting" was supposed to have eight winners, but now there are only seven, and Morgan has a bye, which means there are only three groups of six knights who will play today.
With the first victor Knight left.
The second group of knights also rushed out from the track next to the arena. One of them was one of Morgan's few friends now, "Hound Dog" Sandor Clegane.
No surprises.
The second jousting ended with Sandor Clegane's victory.
Then.
In the third game, when Jaime Lannister, wearing a beautiful and mighty golden armor, rushed out of the track and came to the field.
When the official loudspeaker calls out the names of the opposing teams.
Along with the cheers, there were also a lot of boos.
The name "Kingslayer" had already spread throughout King's Landing and even the entire world under the instruction of King Robert Baratheon.
Faced with boos from the sky.
Jaime Lannister looked expressionless and said nothing.
Even though he looked angry under his tight helmet, the audience in the stands couldn't tell.
However, Jaime Lannister showed his strength as a talented young knight and defeated his opponent neatly.
Morgan, who was sitting in the stands, was not surprised.
He would be surprised if Jaime Lannister couldn't even make it to the finals tomorrow.
The second round of jousting ended with Jaime Lannister's victory.
after an hour.
The second round of the "Archery Competition" competition system began as scheduled.
There were nine winners in the first round yesterday.
There are nine participating knights today, divided into three groups of three according to the rules of the competition.
There were no surprises this time either. Morgan won the second round very strongly and entered tomorrow's finals with the other three victorious knights.
In the afternoon.
The second round of the team melee competition began.
Because the number of participating knights has decreased.
The competition time is shortened.
The schedule has also been advanced.
Yesterday, the first round of "Team Melee Competition" produced a total of six winners.
There are six knights participating in the game today.
According to the principle of fair competition, yesterday's group melee competition of four people became a group of three.
In the end, there are two groups.
Morgan was placed in the second group this time.
With the end of the first set of competitions.
Morgan also stepped onto the court for the second time today.
When he started the competition, he took the initiative with great strength and swept the two participating knights out of the arena with his powerful strength.
The audience once again burst into unprecedented cheers and screams.
At this point, Morgan has advanced to the finals of the three competitions of this tournament with an extremely strong attitude.
at dusk.
When Morgan becomes the number one winner in a three-way event on a large number of bookmakers' betting boards.
News about whether Morgan could become the unprecedented "Triple Crown" of the Tourney quickly spread in King's Landing.
