Eddard Stark didn't get anything useful from Grand Maester Pycelle, who had already communicated with Mufasa. Eddard Stark didn't even know there was a book called 'The Genealogies of the Principal Noble Houses and Families of the Seven Kingdoms'.
He also didn't know that Robert had a bastard son, Gendry.
Gendry, wearing a horned helmet, was currently practicing jousting with Mufasa.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
[Remember this site's domain, Taiwan Novel Network, it's super easy to use and comprehensive.]
The two fiercely clashed.
Mufasa could see all of Gendry's stats.
"Name: Gendry Waters"
"Identity: King Robert's Bastard Son"
"Occupation: Blacksmith"
"Strength: 19"
"Speed: 16"
"Intelligence: 11"
"Spirit: 12"
"Magic: 9"
"Talent: Strong as an Ox. Can wield a heavy hammer to kill enemies."
"Robert's bloodline is truly amazing! Gendry hasn't undergone formal knight training, but his strength is a level higher than most people," Mufasa thought to himself.
"This must be from blacksmithing. Lifting weights is great!"
Although Gendry was very strong, Mufasa's stats were no longer what they were a year ago.
"Name: Mufasa Lannister"
"Identity: First Heir of Casterly Rock"
"Occupation: Knight"
"Strength: 21"
"Speed: 21"
"Intelligence: 21"
"Spirit: 21"
"Magic: 21"
"Talent: Shapeshifter, Mage"
Even Gendry's most powerful strength was two points lower than Mufasa's.
But the more they fought, the more Mufasa felt something was off; it was as if he wasn't fighting a person, but an ox.
"This is the 'Strong as an Ox' talent! It doesn't look like his strength is only 19 points. My strength clearly shows higher than his, yet in a pure strength contest, I seem to be at a disadvantage."
Mufasa thought to himself.
After ten fierce rounds, Mufasa finally knocked Gendry off his horse.
Then he also dismounted and took off his helmet.
Revealing a face covered in sweat.
"Gendry, you truly are a born warrior!"
"Ser Mufasa, you are even more formidable!" Gendry said, panting heavily inside his horned helmet.
"Alright, let's go check on North Sea Kindergarten! The competition there should have results!"
Mufasa led Gendry to North Sea Kindergarten.
The final results of their written exams and physical tests were out.
The first place in the written exam was a little girl named Cosette. She was quite cute.
Through a detailed understanding of her, Mufasa discovered that she was actually the niece of the Nights Watch brother named Arjan whom Mufasa had met on the Wall.
Mufasa stroked Cosette's head and said to her.
"Your uncle is currently a man of the Nights Watch on the Wall. In the future, you must also become a useful person, just like him."
"Dean Mufasa, is my uncle doing well?"
"I don't know, after all, being in the Nights Watch is very hard, but he would surely be very happy if he knew you were alive! Since you've already learned to write many words, why don't you write him a letter yourself!" Mufasa said.
"Okay!" Cosette nodded.
The physical test measured strength, speed, and jumping ability. It was about who was strongest, fastest, jumped highest, and jumped farthest.
The four people who came in first were:
Babalu, Hales, Mendel, and Frank.
"Gendry, these four will be your subordinates, and also members of my guard. You are responsible for training them," Mufasa said.
"Yes, Ser Mufasa, I will train them into the strongest soldiers! Just like me," Gendry said.
In the following days, Mufasa borrowed some money from Cersei, Tyrion, and Jaime to continue his Alchemy.
However, later they only had gold left and no silver, so Mufasa temporarily stopped his Alchemy.
"It seems I still need to exchange gold for silver! According to the current currency exchange rate in Westeros, one Gold Dragon can be exchanged for two hundred Silver Stags."
"But to make those with Silver Stags willing to exchange, I need to give up some profit. I'll exchange one Gold Dragon for one hundred Silver Stags, benefiting the people, and they will all be willing to exchange," Mufasa thought.
Mufasa then found Tyrion, who now owned not only a Brothel but also a casino in King's Landing.
Additionally, he had several high-end card rooms for the entertainment of nobles.
Mufasa found Tyrion in one of the card rooms; he wasn't alone, there were others.
"Lord Kevan!"
Mufasa recognized this person; he was Tywin's second brother, and his only living brother. All his other brothers had died.
Some died of smallpox, others of shipwreck; the one who died of shipwreck was the one who went treasure hunting in the Valyrian Ruins.
"Mufasa, it's been a long time since we last met! Hahaha!" Kevan smiled.
"I didn't even know you had arrived in King's Landing. What about my grandfather? Has he arrived?" Mufasa asked.
"He is, after all, the Warden of the West, and has many matters to attend to! He will arrive a few days later," Kevan said.
"I came to scout ahead for him! Something big seems to be happening in King's Landing!" he said.
"Indeed, something concerning all of Westeros is about to happen!" Mufasa said.
"Is what's in that black coffin really that terrifying?" Kevan asked.
"For ordinary people, that thing is immortal and very difficult to kill, except with fire, dragonglass, and magical items!"
Mufasa said.
"If what you say is true, then Stannis, the Lord of Dragonstone, could demand any price! He could sell a dragonglass dagger for ten Gold Dragons," Kevan said.
"We can also use wildfire!"
Hearing Mufasa mention wildfire, both Tyrion and Kevan's expressions changed.
"There's no wildfire left in King's Landing! After Robert became king, he already..."
"No, wildfire is everywhere beneath King's Landing, including under the Great Sept of Baelor. These are all things left behind by Aerys," Mufasa said.
"How do you know that?" Tyrion asked.
"Jaime told me! He was Aerys's Kingsguard back then," Mufasa said.
"I came to you to continue my Alchemy!" Mufasa looked at Tyrion.
"You've turned all the silver into gold so quickly, haven't you become the richest man in King's Landing?" He made an exaggerated expression.
"Hahaha! Look at this."
Mufasa pulled out two Gold Lion coins for them to see.
"First, I turn silver into gold, and then cast it into new currency, the Gold Lion coin."
"From now on, Gold Dragons and Gold Lions will be exchanged one-to-one. The era of House Lannister is about to arrive," Mufasa said.
"So, why did you come to me?" Tyrion asked.
"To let me exchange money with the guests in your casino and Brothel."
"One Gold Lion for one hundred Silver Stags."
"Won't that be a huge loss? You know one Gold Dragon can be exchanged for two hundred and ten Silver Stags!" Tyrion said.
"You have to give them a little incentive, otherwise, they won't be willing to exchange!" Mufasa said.
"I understand, Mufasa, you are truly clever! Hahaha! Worthy of being my nephew, Tyrion," he laughed.
