Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 232 Blood of the True King

Ser Marin, who was disguised, clasped Tommen I, who was also disguised, and hurried towards the contact point in the center of Braavos City.

When King's Landing was breached by Robb's army, Sir Marlin, who was unable to escape by boat due to the chaotic battle of several fleets on the Blackwater River, took Tommen I and fled north in a panic along with many civilians.

In the end, he paid a fortune in the port of Duskendale to board the passenger ship for Braavos.

Therefore, after tossing for such a long time, Sir Marin couldn't wait to realize the golden mountain in his hand.

Now Sir Marlin is like holding a lottery ticket with a unit of [-] million. The closer he gets to the prize redemption center, the more excited he is, so that he doesn't notice the little girl who is getting closer behind him.

Ok?
When Sir Marlin led Tommen I to turn left and right to a deserted alley, he heard the slight footsteps behind him and turned his head to look back.

Oh!

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a short girl with two braids, very close to him. Sir Marin felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, and felt a sudden chill in his right back.

After the little girl succeeded in one blow, she moved away from Sir Marin's side swiftly the next moment.

Sir Marin subconsciously released Tommen I's right hand, and stretched out his hand to cover his right lower back, which was a little sore and started to spurt blood.

"you……"

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Sir Marlin, who was covering his right waist, pointed at her with his left hand as if he wanted to say something.

However, with the kidney stabbed in the right lower back, he only felt limp all over, let alone talking and communicating, even maintaining a standing posture was very difficult.

Some people may wonder why Sir Marlin, who was once a Kingsguard with a strong body, was so unbearable after being stabbed with a knife?

In fact, many concepts are now influenced by film and television dramas.In film and television dramas, let alone being stabbed, even if you are shot, you still have the strength to stand up and fight back.

But this is pure deceit!

Just like the news that once exploded, a female medical student crazily spent more than 20 knives on her cheating boyfriend.

You think, after a strong male student gets the first knife while avoiding the vitals,
Wouldn't there be resistance if it were possible?Then why can only weak female students stab themselves continuously?

This is because in reality, no matter how strong a person is stabbed, unless he has a strong will like iron, he will lose his fighting power on the spot.

Even in this world, Jon, who was as strong as Jon in his previous life, was stabbed in the stomach after being betrayed by Sir Alliser, but he could barely stand still, without any power to resist.

Of course, the small group of people with supernatural powers in this world are not included in this scope.

At this moment, Sir Marin, who was crumbling, obviously did not have a strong will and special extraordinary power.

"I know what you want to ask, remember Syrio Forel? You killed him!

It has been more than a year, I am afraid you have already forgotten who he is? "

Holding a dagger stained with blood, the little girl walked around Sir Marin very carefully, and at the same time asked him with her mouth.

Oh!

The little girl who walked around to Sir Marin's left rear saw his look of turning around but was helpless, stepped forward decisively and stabbed his left back waist again with the dagger in her hand.

Bang!
Sir Marlin, who was attacked this time, could no longer maintain his standing posture, and fell heavily to the ground directly, a large amount of bright red blood flowed out from under his body.

"I still vividly remember the smile on your face standing behind Joffrey when my father died in Baylor Square.

Hehe, thank the God of Thousand Faces for sending you to me! "

The little girl looked down at Sir Marin who was lying on his back and trying to get up, and said with a smile.

Seeing Sir Marin trying to point his right finger at himself after hearing this sentence, the little girl nodded to him and said,
"Oh? It seems that you have remembered who I am, yes, I am Arya Stark!"

After saying this, Arya knelt on the ground on one knee, grabbed Sir Marlin's hair with one hand and fixed his head with a very skillful hand, and slit his throat with a dagger with the other hand.

Heck, heck!

Sir Marlin, who was bleeding profusely from his neck, struggled and choked twice before he stopped moving.

"Woooo!"

The blond boy next to him twisted his body and whimpered at Arya immediately after seeing Ser Meryn's death.

Seeing the blond boy with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, Arya stepped forward vigilantly with a dagger in his hand, and pulled the cloth out of his mouth.

"Arya, help me! I'm Tommen Baratheon, and we've played together before!"

As soon as the cloth ball was ripped out of his mouth, the blond boy immediately asked Arya for help.

To be honest, if Tommen didn't take the initiative to reveal his identity, Arya would never have recognized this blacked-out blond boy as the brother of that bloody Joffrey.

Looking at this blond boy who was nearly two years younger than herself, Arya clenched the dagger in her right hand, then loosened it slightly, and then clenched it tightly again, struggling repeatedly like this.

"Oh, Arya, my hands hurt too much, please untie them!"

Seeing Arya standing still, Tommen, whose hands were tied under the loose clothes, begged her pitifully.

call!
The kind-hearted Arya heard the words, exhaled heavily, stepped forward and lifted Tommen's clothes, and cut the ropes that bound his hands with a blood-stained dagger.

"Why were you tied up by Marin Tran? Where are you going?"

"Junlin City was breached by your eldest brother before, and my mother and uncle were attacked by Marin when they took me to escape. Then he brought me here forcibly.

I don't know where he wants to take me, but he keeps talking about exchanging me for money! "

Hearing Arya's question, Tommen, who was freed, replied while rubbing his aching wrist.

"Robb broke King's Landing? Great! He's awesome!
Do you know any news about him?tell me quickly! "

The news about Robb from Toman's mouth made Arya a little excited, and she continued to ask immediately after hearing it.

"Your brother has a huge, huge wolf that stands taller than the gates of King's Landing. Well, he has a lot of soldiers, and he has taken over a lot of places.

That's about all I know. "

Tommen, who was basically regarded as a mascot by Tywin, didn't know much about Robb. When Arya asked, he had to babble a few words at random.

"That giant wolf is called Blood Wind, and it was born in the same litter as my Nymeria. Well, Nymeria..."

Arya excitedly told Tommen about the blood wind after hearing the words, but her direwolf's face darkened instantly when she remembered her.

Arya, who was bored, didn't talk to Tommen anymore. She first bent over Marin's corpse on the ground and rubbed it for a while to search for valuable or useful items.

Then she cut Marin's face with the dagger in her hand and put it away, then got up and walked towards the wheelbarrow parked in the distance.

Da da da!
After walking a few steps, Arya turned her head and frowned and said to Tommen after hearing the footsteps behind her, "Why are you following me?"

"I don't even know where this place is, I only know you now, Arya, just let me follow you!"

Hearing Arya's question, Tommen, frightened by her bloody means of cutting her face, replied timidly.

Hearing his answer, Arya rolled her eyes and continued on her way.

In this way, the two of Arya came to a huge temple made of dark gray stone and built on a small rocky hill.

The gate of the temple is a pair of carved wooden doors twelve feet (about 4 meters) high.The one on the left was of weirwood, white as bone, and the one on the right was ebony with a faint glow.

This is the famous House of Black and White!

Arya let Tommen guard the wheelbarrow, and she hid everything except Marin's skin among the stone piles where the sewing needles were placed.

Squeak!

After finishing everything, Arya held Marin's bread and led Tommen just before approaching the House of Black and White, when the two huge black and white doors opened from inside, and Jaqen appeared in the acolyte's robe and hood. the door.

He said to Arya expressionlessly: "The girl took a life, but it was the wrong life! Therefore, the girl owed her life to the God of Thousand Faces!
Since the girl owed a debt, she must pay it back! "

Arya, who has known the horror of the House of Black and White for more than a year, showed panic on her face after hearing Jaqen's words.

"She killed Marin to save me! I am Tommen I, and I can help her pay off the debt you said!"

Tommen behind her didn't understand Jaqen's words. After understanding himself, he stepped forward and offered to help Arya pay off the debt.

Hearing Tommen's words, Jaqen turned his head and looked at him carefully.After a while, a smile appeared on Jia Kun's face and he said softly, "Will the boy pay the girl's life debt? Very good, let's come in with someone!"

Upon hearing this, Arya glanced at Tommen who had helped her with a complex expression, bit her lip and walked into the gate.And Tommen, who consciously solved Arya's troubles, followed her into the gate very happily.

Boom!
After they entered, the black and white temple gates were heavily closed again.

And the body of Sir Marlin in a remote alley was discovered by passers-by soon after and reported to the city patrol.

The backside of the bustling Braavos is a darkness proportional to it, and death and disappearance happen in the city every moment.Therefore, the death of a foreigner did not cause any ripples.

However, for some people who knew Marin's identity, the impact of his death was enormous.

The Long Canal is a wide waterway that traverses Braavos. At the northernmost end of the Long Canal is the Palace of Truth with a green copper vault, and in the northwest are the Temple of Black and White, the Temple of the Lord of Light, and the Isle of Gods.

The Changqu is located in the center of the city, where there are many tall towers of noble families such as the Antalion Hall and the Prestan Hall.

In the Antalion Palace, a luxurious bedroom decorated with gold and countless precious stones, an old man dressed in a simple and monotonous gray-brown clothes was lying on a large velvet bed.

There were several guards standing beside him, and a graceful maid in light gauze was squatting beside the bed and feeding him soup with a golden spoon.

"Lord Neptune, Lord Besaro, please see me!"

A swordsman of standard build and dressed in a strong black suit entered the bedroom and reported to the old man on the velvet bed.

"Hey, Quilo, you all go out and let him in alone!"

Braavos is the current King of the Sea, Ferrego Antarion swallowed the soup in his mouth, and then weakly gave orders to his chief swordsman Quilo Valentine.

"Obey, Lord Sea King!"

Quiro nodded in reply, then greeted the guards and maids in the bedroom, turned and walked out of the bedroom.

After they went out, Besaro, the fat and inhuman keykeeper, entered the bedroom panting at the speed of a turtle.

"Phew, Lord Neptune, it's not good. Marin Tran died in an alley not far from the contact point, and the precious cargo disappeared."

Besaro took a few deep breaths to calm down the panting caused by the intense exercise, and then he opened his mouth to report to Ferrego.

"Trash, such a little thing can't be done well! Why didn't you send someone to wait for him in advance?"

After hearing the bad news, Ferrego immediately flew into a rage, scolding Besaro with a feeble voice.

"Master Neptune, please calm down! The reason why I didn't send someone to wait in advance.

The first is because Marin Tran was a little too cautious. I only received news that he came to Braavos with precious goods, but I didn't know the exact time and place of his arrival.

The second is that the noble families headed by Prestan and Frega are closely watching our movements. If I send someone to wait for him in advance, it will be more likely to cause trouble. "

Besaro, who was scolded by Ferrego, quickly bowed his head and spoke out his thoughts in a respectful tone.

"Ahem, you have some reason to consider. The current Braavos is not the same as before, and all forces are intertwined. I can trust very little in the founding family of the Iron Bank.

The cargo must still be in Braavos, send all your trusted minions to scour it.

Don't worry, after I am reborn, you, the Leiyan family, will become legends of Braavos with me! "

After Ferrego's anger eased a little, he weakly opened his mouth to give orders to Besaro, and at the same time, he still didn't forget to draw big cakes for him.

"I see. I will start making arrangements in a while. I will strive to deliver the precious goods to you as soon as possible.

You are, however, a legend of Braavos! "

"Hehe, I just lived longer. By the way, has the candidate for the next Sea King been decided?"

Hearing Besaro's compliment, Ferrego chuckled and continued to ask.

"It's decided. A few days ago, the governor and other key watchmen were selected according to the mysterious process, and the ceremony will be held soon!"

Besaro immediately opened his mouth to answer Ferrego's question after hearing the words.After a little hesitation, he continued to ask tentatively,
"Master Neptune, if it's just the blood of the king, we actually had many other choices before.

For example, Viserys Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen, who had been living with Governor Illyrio in Pentos before.

But why are we paying so much for it in Westeros? "

Hearing this question, Ferrego immediately understood Besaro's careful thinking, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Tomen Baratheon has more than just the blood of the king.

It is the blood of the true king who once boarded the [Iron Throne], the center where the wills of countless people in Westeros gathered! "
