Start with the Lord of the Rings - Chapter 304
“Wow, wow…”
The majestic rain splashed into the sky and mist, covering the whole world.
The sky is getting darker.
At the foot of a mountain with a large black cliff.
The fire is faint.
Morgan leaned on a boulder to watch the rain.
In order to better catch the butterflies and dragonflies flying around from the rain, the young dragon Siglia lay on the shoulders of old father Morgan.
In front of the carriage not far away.
The two horses that were briefly unlocked were chewing on the horse feed, and you rubbed against me and against you from time to time.
rear.
Afraid, the little slave girl, was busy preparing for dinner.
From a distance, it looks like a warm picture written by a painter.
The heavy rain outside the stone wall is getting bigger and bigger.
It didn’t seem to mean to stop at all.
Inside the stone wall.
After Aphra was busy.
The boiling saucepan quickly exudes an attractive smell of food.
“My lord, it’s time to eat…”
With a word from Afrah.
Morgan and the young dragon Siglia quickly sat in front of the bonfire.
After Afraid filled Morgan with a bowl of lamb and carrot soup, she filled Little Siglia with a small bowl, and finally picked up her own bowl and served it.
Since a few days ago.
After Morgan ran out of raw meat purchased at the Norfos Free Trade City-state tavern.
He began to try to let the young dragon Siglia eat cooked food, the same cooked food he had eaten.
Although the little guy was very reluctant at first.
But it couldn’t survive the persistence of the old father.
Had to start eating cooked food.
Siglia was not used to it at first.
But after eating it a few times, Siglia got used to the watery thick soup taste of salt and spices from the cooked food.
The little guy has now eaten the same pot of food with his father Morgan Afra, no other benefits.
Morgan now doesn’t have to carry his bow and arrow all day long like before.
Just when Morgan brought Afra, the young dragon Siglia, and two horses to take shelter from the rain at the foot of the desolate black cliff, enjoying a quiet dinner.
Far away in Westeros.
Junlin City.
Within the Red Fort.
The palace situation has changed.
From a few days ago.
King Robert Baratheon was seriously injured by a wild boar accidentally because of a hunting trip out of the city.
The situation in the entire Red Fort became undercurrents.
Not long after, when King Robert Robert Baratheon I died of serious injuries and finally died.
Inside the Red Fort Palace.
The tension suddenly became extremely severe and tense.
Because everyone knows the Lannister family behind Queen Cersei Lannister, and Stark where Ed Stark, who is now twice promoted to the position of former prime minister by the king, is also the last writer of the king’s will. The family relationship is very tense.
More than half a month ago.
James Lannister of the Royal Guards led his troops to besiege Ed Stark, but the king was forced to suppress it.
There is no king’s suppression now.
The next battle between the two families, or even a war, is very likely.
Just when the upper-class nobles who knew the inside story of Junlin City were quietly waiting for the development of things.
It didn’t take long.
One event after another broke out from the Red Fort palace.
First of all, Minister of Justice Lanli Baratheon took the “Knight of the Flowers” Loras Tyrell and left King’s Landing City urgently. No one knew where the young brother of King Robert had gone.
Immediately afterwards, another even more shocking incident burst out of the Red Fort.
Ed Stark, who has always been well-known among the civilians in Westeros, was arrested and imprisoned because he was accused of treason.
Then, Prince Geoffrey Baratheon succeeded to the throne;
Lord of Kaiyan City, guardian of the West, Tywin Lannister appointed as the new “Prime Minister”;
Sir Barristan Selmi, the captain of the Royal Forest Guard, was removed from the post of Captain of the Royal Forest Guard and replaced by James Lannister, the Kingslayer;
The captain of the capital guard of King’s Landing City, Jenos Slint, loyally followed the Lord… was promoted to a nobleman by His Majesty King Geoffrey Baratheon…
In a short time.
One by one, the major events that shook the Seven Kingdoms continued to spread from the Red Fort.
The entire Junlin City quickly fell into a boil.
After all, whether it is the well-known Ed Stark being accused of treason, the death of the former king Robert Baratheon, or the succession of the new king Geoffrey Baratheon… and the new imperial court The Prime Minister is Duke Tywin Lannister of Kaiyan City.
It is so that everyone in King’s Landing City, and even the entire Westeros Continent, can talk about it in the next few months.
The depths of the Red Fort.
Underground area.
Inside a dark and dark cell.
Except for occasional guards patrolling with torches passing by, which can briefly illuminate the darkness.
The entire underground cell was in a pitch-black environment with bare hands for most of the time.
at this time.
Very quiet underground cell.
In a spacious cell.
A figure with unkempt hair was sitting on the wall, motionless.
At this time.
A torch illuminates the dark space.
The brightness brought by the bright yellow flame immediately makes the eyes of people who have been in the dark for a long time feel uncomfortable and dazzling.
The figure sitting on the wall immediately stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.
The patrol soldiers had just left.
No other patrol fighters will appear in a short time.
“Who would it be?”
The figure sitting on the wall immediately thought to himself.
It didn’t take long.
In the shadow, the figure holding the torch appeared in front of the cell where the figure was sitting against the wall.
“Master Stark, we meet again…”
Wearing a gray robe, with a bald head and delicate skin on his face, a bald figure without a beard stood in front of the cell and spoke.
Yes, at this time, his feet were chained and locked in a cold cell, with unkempt hair, sunken eyes, and a very embarrassed figure.
It was Ed Stark, the tall former prime minister, the Duke of Winterfell.
“Varys, you’re here again…”
Ed Stark looked up at the bald man standing in front of him, speaking weakly.
Varys: The nickname “Spider”, the “intelligence director” in front of the Seven Iron Throne, is also called the “spy leader” of the kingdom.
Ever since Ed Stark was put in this cell.
Within a few days.
Varys has been here twice.
Plus today this is the third time.
“It seems that you are my last friend…”
Ed Stark said with tired eyes.
“No, you are still very much loved…”
“When I wanted to tell your lord, this morning, Sansa pleaded with your Majesty before the Iron Throne…”
Varys looked directly at Ed Stark in front of him and said, reaching out and passing the wine bag in his hand.
Ed Stark took the wine bag from Varys, raised his hand and took a big gulp.
After a sip of alcohol.
Ed Stark finally regained his energy, wiped the wine stains on his lips and said directly: “Kneel down to beg for me?”
“Then you and those people must laugh at her together…”
“no no…”
Varys shook his head quickly and explained: “My lord, you misunderstood me.”
“I am the last person who wants you to die…”
Hear what Varys said.
Ed Stark laughed at himself, and then he poured a sip of wine into his mouth again, shook his head and said, “I don’t know what you want, and I don’t want to guess anymore.”
After Varys was silent for a while.
He said again: “My lord, let me tell you a story…”
“When I was young, that was when I was not an eunuch…”
“I follow a group of actors and performers everywhere. They tell me that everyone should have their own role and must be loyal to their own role…”
It’s just that Ed Stark wasn’t interested in listening to an **** telling his boring history, so he immediately said, “Enough!”
“Don’t make up stories, don’t play dumb riddles, just tell me directly, why do you come to see me several times?”
Ed Stark stared at Varys and asked directly.
That’s it already.
Varys immediately said his purpose of coming here: “Peace…”
“I want peace!”
“I don’t know if you know it, my lord.”
“Your son is leading an army from the north to the south…”
“A young warrior fighting for his father’s freedom. This is a commendable thing, but it shouldn’t happen at this time.”
“But what worries Cersei the most is Lord Stannis, the brother of the dead king… Not only is he the most qualified to inherit the throne, but at the same time his ability to command battles has also been seen by everyone, and he is deeply Knowing the way of strategy, will be the most difficult opponent…”
Varys continued.
Ed Stark couldn’t listen anymore when he heard this, and again coldly interrupted: “Stannis Baratheon is Robert’s most legal heir, and the throne should belong to him!”
The voice fell.
Varys looked stunned, took a deep breath, and then said: “Sansa is so pleading for the adults, if the adults don’t cherish it, it would be a pity…”
“Cersei is not stupid, she knows that tamed wolves are more valuable than dead wolves…”
Wari continued to speak, only to be interrupted again by Ed Stark in a cold voice, and said angrily: “You want me to be loyal to a woman who murdered the king, killed my warrior, and mutilated my son?”
“I just want you to be loyal to this kingdom!”
Varys also spoke in anger and continued: “You only have to tell the queen that you are willing to confess the crime of treason; let your children lay down their weapons; finally support Geoffrey as king!”
“Cersei very much believes in the adult’s promise. As long as you give her the peace she wants, and then take her secrets until she dies, I believe she will be willing to let you wear black clothes to go to the Great Wall of Impasse, with your brother and bastard. Live a happy life…”
Hear here.
Ed Stark smiled.
“Do you think I will spare my life at this time?”
“Do you think I will lay down my honor just to live for a few years?”
“What’s the point of being alive?”
“You grew up with an actor, learned to act, and you still master it very well…”
“But I grew up with soldiers…”
“A long time ago, I learned how to face death…”
Ed Stark finished speaking for himself, and stopped talking.
Varys was silent.
a long time.
Varys got up and left.
At the moment when he just sold his footsteps, he stopped and turned his head to look at the figure in the dark, and suddenly said, “What about your adult, your daughter?”
“Is her life important to you?”
Varys didn’t wait for an answer after speaking, and walked straight forward.
Behind him in the darkness.
Ed Stark’s clenched fist.
Of the two daughters.
He wasn’t so worried about Arya.
Because Arya learned the sword skills from Morgan’s hand very well, he personally accepted it.
As for Sansa…
Thinking of Sansa, Ed Stark sighed.
“I don’t know if they found Morgan…”
Thinking of Morgan, Ed Stark immediately remembered that the day before he was arrested, he had sent someone to find the disappeared Morgan.
“If Morgan was there, he would be able to protect the integrity of the two children.”
“It would be great if Morgan could be found…”
At this moment, Ed Stark missed Morgan very much.
……
Essos continent.
Black cliff canyon.
After a night of heavy rain.
The next day was a sunny day, and the sky was exceptionally blue and clean.
Early in the morning.
After eating breakfast, Morgan took Afra and Sigriya, the young dragon, to continue on the road.
Most of the long-distance trip this time has been taken.
The rest of the journey is not far away.
“My lord, let me come…”
As soon as Morgan got into the driving seat, Afrah’s voice came from beside him.
Since this time.
Although most of the time in the driving position sits Afra.
But in order to avoid the little slave girl being too tired, Morgan would take the reins and drive by himself from time to time.
That was the case a few days ago.
Morgan turned his head and looked at Afrah’s spirit, his face full of rosy and tender content.
Knowing that she was fed last night and it was very moisturized.
Then he nodded and handed the rein in his hand to Afra.
He sat beside the large driver’s seat, took out the oak pipe and started smoking.
Afraid sat in the driving position, pulling the rein skillfully.
The two horses immediately speeded up and galloped towards the road ahead.
Two days later.
Morgan finally reached the edge of Slave Bay and saw the famous Slave Bay: a blue sea.
Compare with the map.
Morgan knew that the end of the coast opposite his current location was the end of his current destination: “Astapo”.
But such a wilderness coast has no docks and no ships.
So Morgan had to make a big detour.
He needs to walk all the way east along the coast of Slave Bay.
As long as the route is good, he will encounter “Merin”, which is located in one of the three major cities in Slave Bay.
Then there is “Yunkai”, one of the three major cities.
Finally, “Astapo”, also one of the three main cities, is also the destination of Morgan’s journey.
Eight days later.
Morgan’s carriage left the “Nofus Free Trade City State” nearly two months later.
Finally reached “Mi Lin”.
“Mi Lin” is the largest of the three slave cities in Slave Bay.
The number of residents is the sum of the population of “Yunkai” and “Astapo”.
It’s very close to Astapo.
Morgan only took a short day of rest in “Merrin”. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
After replenishing the dry food and wine, he continued on the road the next day.
The city “Yuankai” is not too far away from “Molin”.
Six days later.
Morgan arrived at Yunkai, the second slave city in Slave Bay.
same.
Stayed briefly in Yuankai for a day.
Morgan set off again.
Leaving “Yuan Kai” on the eleventh day.
It was also the fourth and a half month after Morgan left King’s Landing City on the mainland of Westeros and set foot on the Narrow Sea.
Morgan finally arrived at “Astapo”, which is world-famous as the “Unsullied” warrior.
