For Tyrion, staying in Casterly Rock, especially in front of Lord Tywin, he felt pain all the time, and the indelible harm Lord Tywin had caused him kept coming to his mind.
Especially after he was appointed Quartermaster of the sewers by Tywin, he had become the laughing stock of the entire Lannister, and even the collateral branches and vassals of the Lannister openly ridiculed him in front of him, which also made the common people of Lannisport begin to despise him, ridicule him, and even gave him a new nickname, Little Imp.
He felt that the entire Westron Protector was his enemy, with mocking eyes staring at him at all times, and even the air was like a hand covering his mouth and nose, making him feel suffocated. Except for the brothels in Lannisport, he seemed unable to find a place where he would not be discriminated against.
He felt that he had to leave here immediately, otherwise, he would go crazy.
Lynd was silent for a moment after hearing Tyrion's request, and then said, "Why do you think I can take you away? Don't forget, I'm still just a knight now."
Tyrion hurriedly said, "Because you are Linde Terra, the Godsworn designated by the Seven Gods Church."
"Do you think Lord Tywin cares about the title of Godsworn?" Lynd retorted to Tyrion, and then said, "You are now the first heir of the Lannister. Do you think Lord Tywin will let you out of his sight?"
Tyrion's tone was full of resentment as he said, "He won't treat me as an heir. In his eyes, I am nothing. His only heir is Jaime."
Lynd reminded, "But Jaime Lannister is a Kingsguard. The Kingsguard cannot marry, have children, or inherit the family business."
Tyrion said, "He can make Jaime resign from the Kingsguard..."
Lynd shook his head and said, "Although I haven't had much contact with your brother Jaime, I can feel that he values his Kingsguard position very much, and if Lord Tywin could have made Jaime resign from the Kingsguard, he would have done so long ago."
Tyrion fell silent and said nothing.
Lynd then said somewhat seriously, "And you've misunderstood something. Whether you are Lord Tywin's recognized heir or not is not important. What's important is that if someone with ulterior motives needs you to be, then you must be."
"You mean..." Tyrion was stunned, looking at Lynd in confusion, a hint of bewilderment on his face.
"According to the inheritance law of the Seven Kingdoms, you are Lord Tywin's legal first heir. No matter how much Lord Tywin despises you, he cannot change this fact." Lynd emphasized, "Once Lord Tywin dies suddenly, no matter how the people of Westron Protector view you, you will be the heir of Casterly Rock and the Westron Protector. This is an unchangeable established fact. Tyrion, you are very smart. You should be able to imagine what would happen in Westron Protector if you suddenly became the Westron Protector and Lord of Casterly Rock."
Tyrion's face changed drastically, and his expression became serious. He asked Lynd, "Did you hear something?"
"No, I didn't hear anything. I just made some deductions based on normal thinking." Lynd stopped there, no longer trying to scare Tyrion. Then he lightened his tone and said, "And have you ever thought that if you follow me, there are many things you won't be able to do. For example, drinking is not allowed in my camp, and the salary I pay you will not be enough for you to stay in a brothel every day. More importantly, I won't even pay you a salary; you'll need to pay me to keep you by my side."
Tyrion jumped off the chair and said angrily, "What? That's too much! Aren't we friends?"
"Yes, precisely because we are friends, you get this kind of treatment," Lynd nodded and said, "There's a saying in my hometown: even brothers should settle accounts clearly. If it's like that for brothers, how much more so for friends?"
"Boring, it's really boring to be with you!" Tyrion seemed to be angered, mumbling as he walked out of the tent.
As Tyrion walked out of the tent, Lynd added from behind him, "If you want to improve your current situation, you'd best repeat what I just told you to Lord Tywin. That way, he should understand your importance and give you corresponding treatment, instead of being a sewer Quartermaster who receives only disdain."
Tyrion's steps paused for a moment, then he continued to walk, and his pace quickened.
After Tyrion left, Lynd did not continue to possess Glory, but instead took out a copy of "nine voyages" and began to read it.
This set of books was found by Lynd in Fairy City. In addition to this set of books, there were many valuable rare books, and even some First Men stone tablet rune books that no one could read anymore.
It was clear that in the eyes of the Ironborn, these books were far less valuable than those shiny things, so they were not touched and were perfectly preserved, and as a result, they were all left to Lynd.
Lynd had Nameria take all the other books back to Tengshi Town, keeping only this set of books detailing the maritime adventures of Corlys Velaryon for his own amusement.
The chapter Lynd was currently reading documented the sea serpent Corlys's second great voyage, which detailed how he traveled through Yi Land, Thunder Isle, and the Blood Sea, finally reaching Asshai in the Shadow Lands to the far east.
It must be said that although the text seemed a bit dry and lacked any literary quality, like an instruction manual, the content within it could still make those who read it feel the shock brought by such maritime adventures.
"Huh?" Just as Lynd finished reading about the sea serpent's second maritime adventure and was about to close the book and take a walk around the camp, he suddenly saw a name: Alyssa Farman.
The content related to this name was only one sentence, spoken by the sea serpent, "I know that must be Alyssa Farman's sun chaser. I swear on the honor of Velaryon, I absolutely did not see wrong."
Although this single sentence did not reveal much information, Lynd could still feel the intense excitement the sea serpent Corlys displayed after seeing Alyssa Farman's ship.
A legendary navigator, upon seeing another navigator's ship, would actually be so excited, just like fans in his previous life meeting their idols. This made Lynd even more curious about this Alyssa Farman.
This also made him sit back down in his chair and continue to flip through the "nine voyages" series, to see if there was any further content involving Alyssa Farman.
A sound of footsteps rang out outside the tent, and then Jon and others were seen arriving outside the tent, standing under the raised tent flap, bowing to Lynd and saying, "My Lord."
Lynd looked up at them and noticed that they all had more or less some injuries. He couldn't help but be stunned, especially Baelon; his left arm seemed to be broken, which would make it very difficult for him to participate in the martial arts tournament a few days later.
Although in his eyes, the strength of his subordinates was very ordinary, in the Seven Kingdoms, they were already first-class warriors. Especially Baelon from Meereen, his combat skills were honed through countless battles in the arena. Even Nameria might not be able to completely defeat him in a one-on-one fight, yet now he was injured, and he was the most severely injured, which surprised Lynd.
"No, I only told you to bring Daisy back? Why did another conflict break out?" Lynd stood up, looked at the few of them, and asked.
Jon said with a wronged expression, "We were going to pick up Daisy, but the Lannisport city guard, and then Mountain Clegane brought his men and came to attack us. Of course, we wouldn't just surrender, so we fought."
"Mountain Clegane?" Lynd was stunned, then turned to look at Baelon and asked, "Did Mountain break your arm?"
The silent Baelon nodded, showing no sign of pain from his broken arm on his face. Then, as if he felt this answer was not precise enough, he said in common tongue with a heavy accent, "That guy's hand is also broken, and one of his ears was bitten off by me."
After speaking, he even pulled an ear from his pocket and held it in his hand for Lynd to see. He seemed to regard this ear as a trophy.
"What about the others?" Lynd then asked, "Are there any casualties among the others?"
"Everyone got a little injured, but no one died," Jon continued to answer, but then he paused and added, "A few people from the Lannisport city guard died, and one of them seemed to be named Lannister, possibly a collateral branch of the Lannister."
Upon hearing this, Lynd rubbed his forehead, then turned to Daisy and asked, "What about you? Why did you get into a conflict with that Baron Royce Corwart?"
Daisy had an innocent expression and said, "I was just walking on the road, and that guy inexplicably stopped me, then shouted at me that you are a liar, that all your achievements are built on lies, and that we are also a bunch of liars."
Hearing Daisy's words, Lynd said nothing more and made a decision: "Daisy will be punished with six military whips, and the others with three military whips, then go find the military doctor for treatment."
"Ah?" Jon was stunned upon hearing this and said, "My Lord, I have no objection to you punishing Daisy, after all, she didn't report to you and left the camp without authorization, causing trouble outside. But we were sent out by you, why should we also be punished?"
Roso, Baelon, and the other knights all nodded in agreement.
Lynd looked at them and said, "I'm not punishing you because you clashed with the Lannister, but because Daisy is being punished, and as her comrades, you can't just stand by and watch. So you'll be punished together. This is called sharing hardships."
Upon hearing Lynd say this, Jon and the others had nothing to say and turned to find the executioner.
After they left, Lynd returned to the tent to continue reading.
Glory also returned to the outside of the camp at this time, but before entering the camp, it encountered a team of Lannisport city guards on the road. The leader of the team was lingering on the small hill outside Lynd's camp, seemingly unwilling to approach the camp.
When Glory suddenly appeared next to this team of Lannisport city guards, they were all terrified, scrambling and rolling towards the urban area of Lannisport, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would be eaten by the giant beast, leaving Glory looking bewildered.
The conflict between Lynd's cavalry and the Lannister city guard caused quite a stir, and everyone was watching how Lind the Chosen and Lord Tywin would handle this matter.
Although everyone was well aware of the vast difference in status between Lynd and Lord Tywin, no one dared to underestimate Lynd. After all, the Seven Gods Church stood behind Lynd, and the Duke of the North also had a good impression of Lynd, House Tyrell in the South also highly valued Lynd, and King Robert had expressed his fondness for Lynd countless times. So, in some respects, the two sides were evenly matched.
More importantly, Lynd's subordinates had injured Mountain Clegane this time, that mad dog despised by everyone. And Mountain was seriously injured, with a broken arm and one ear bitten off. Many people were secretly pleased to see such a result, even the lords and nobles of Westron Protector secretly rejoiced.
What was both amusing and frustrating was that as everyone's attention focused on Lynd and Lord Tywin, the two individuals who caused the conflict, Daisy of House Mormont and Baron Royce Corwart of Coldwater City, were completely ignored. Even Baron Royce's liege, Earl Yohn Royce of Runestone, upon learning that the entire incident was due to Baron Royce's loose tongue, had no intention of defending him.
However, to everyone's surprise, both Lind the Chosen and Lord Tywin chose to handle the matter coldly, making no public response and not discussing it with each other, as if the incident never happened.
At the same time, they adopted the same punishment method for the subordinates involved in the conflict. Lynd's side inflicted flogging on all participants, while Lord Tywin's side used direct caning.
Because of their handling, this conflict, which had attracted everyone's attention, quickly subsided, disappointing all those who were waiting to see a good show.
However, soon the attention of these busybodies was drawn to new events.
A riot broke out in the prison where the Iron Islands prisoners of war were held. Euron Greyjoy, the brother of Balon Greyjoy, incited some nobles and Ironborn to attack the guards, then seized their weapons, rushed to the Lannisport docks, seized a longship, and escaped.
King Robert was extremely angry about this matter, and even more so was Lord Tywin. The Lannisport city guard was so incompetent that they were repelled by a group of fleeing Ironborn, and even had a ship stolen. This was simply a slap in the face in front of the lords and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
Compared to the humiliation this incident brought him, the previous conflict between Lynd and his men seemed insignificant.
The result was that the cells holding the Iron Islands nobles had their guards tripled, a dozen key military officers of the Lannisport city guard were all hanged on the harbor docks, the Casterly Rock city guard temporarily took over the Lannisport city guard, and all city guard members were reorganized and retrained. The person responsible for this was another disliked Clegane, Hound Sandor Clegane.
Two days later, a long-oared fast ship from Oldtown docked at the Lannisport harbor. People from House Tyrell, Hightower, and House Redwyne disembarked from the ship, and the last great lord to attend the victory feast had arrived.
