The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming - Chapter 1058
Cocoa!
Very polite knock on the door.
Arya opened the door, and Will, who was already a little thin and deformed, stood by the door.
Arya stepped forward and hugged Will.
“I haven’t eaten for seven days.” Will grabbed Arya by the waist.
“Let’s go to the feather pen wine bottle.” Arya said.
“Okay! I want to change my clothes first, and then take a hot bath.”
“I’ll fetch you water right away,” Arya said, “Sit down first, my Prime Minister.”
“Yes, Mrs. Arya.” Will said businessly, and then he smiled.
Arya went to knock on the door next door, and Rosso and Podrick got up immediately, fetching hot water for Will and wine for him.
Half an hour later, Will finished washing and went out with Arya, Rosso, and Podric, and went straight to the feather pen wine bottle in the Mead River.
It has been 600 years since the quill wine bottle hasn’t closed. Guests go anytime and anywhere, and the hotel has its doors open and someone will serve you.
“My lord, where are you these few days?” Rosso asked.
“Underground.” Will said.
“Master Will, I go to Bachelor Hodgson to inquire about your situation every day. He wants me to go to Raven Island to see Dr. Prin. Every time I arrive on Raven Island, the assistant bachelor says that the doctor has just left, not in the library. In other places, if I can’t find it, I’ll go back to the governor’s cabinet and ask Bachelor Hodgson.” Arya smiled, “I’m worried about you these days.”
“Yes, sir, we have not been able to sleep these days. We are worried that Master Maiin will get the candle in advance, and where did you go? Dr. Prang not only didn’t see us, he didn’t give us any news.” Podrick Said.
“After I got out of the underground, I wanted to get the candle immediately, but I thought, Master Mai Yin was locked in the underground anyway and couldn’t get out, then why didn’t I go for the candle slowly.” Will smiled.
“My lord, do you already know where the candle is?”
“Yes.” Will remembered the conversation between Dr. Galvin and Dr. Wograve. He now understands it thoroughly. The doctor deliberately told him that.
Since the doctor deliberately told him and pointed him the way, it shows that they are more willing to trust their prime minister and are unwilling to give the candle to the faceless. The Faceless Man kills people for the candle, which does not win the hearts of the doctors.
From a geographical point of view, it is reasonable for the bachelors to support the prime minister.
Faceless in Braavos, who knows what you want to do with the candles?
Master Mai Yin was locked in the ground where he could not get out, and the glass candles were safe under the protection of the doctors. Then there is no need to rush to get them, eat first, rest, and wait for the spirit and body to fully recover, and then don’t panic. Just go get it.
Originally, Will came out to be honest, thinking about going to Dr. Worgrave immediately.
By Dr. Worgrave’s side, even though he was following a Faceless Man, Will was not at all worried. An intelligence collector of the faceless, with very average skills. Whether it was changing face, poisoning, or killing skills, they weren’t Will and his party’s opponent.
The skills of Roxi and Emma are still far behind!
*
A group of four people arrived at the Yubi wine bottle, Arya ordered a large table of dishes, and the famous wine of Qingting Island. The three were in a good mood and accompanied Mr. Will to eat and drink.
At the same time, the underground Master Mai Yin was still exploring the stone wall calmly, confident of finding out the mechanism or secret.
Master Mai Yin is very confident!
But Will is more confident. Based on his understanding of Xuecheng, Will judged that perhaps Xuecheng is a huge magic field, and there must be a large number of doctors who are proficient in magic and witchcraft. This group of people are also the most resolutely opposed to magic and witchcraft. They promote scientific knowledge, deny magic and witchcraft, and spend a lot of time studying and practicing magic and witchcraft. Their bachelor’s gown concealed the surface and gave the city the authority of absolute scientific knowledge.
Xuecheng is a place that the Holy Tribunal and the Faceless One did not understand deeply, and it is also a place that the world did not understand deeply.
Upstairs in the quill wine bottle, Emma’s voice still sounded coquettishly, as if she was not affected by the candle in any way. Roxi, who fell into the water, never appeared in the feather pen bottle again.
If the Faceless had only dispatched three people, then Pat, who was following Vograve, would be Rosh. Although Rosh was following Vograve, she didn’t know that Vograve was Doctor Candle. The doctor understood Roxi, but Roxi couldn’t understand the doctor.
Will and his party ate in the feather pen bottle as they were. Will chewed slowly, but saw someone walk into the feather pen bottle, hurriedly and in a hurry.
The person who came was from Dorne’s Sandman serving. The young and old, speaking in Dorne’s accent, asked the boss to serve bacon soup, bread, barbecue and sausage. Looking at the dressing of this young and old family, the nobles of the Dorn Desert are no different. Although Dorn’s nobles were deprived of most of their land, for the surrendered nobles, there were still a lot of land and castles left to them, enough for them to live comfortably for a few lifetimes. Talented people also directly serve as local chief executives. Those with capital have various superior powers to trade and form garrisons.
From feudal aristocrats to rich capitalists, as long as they conform to government affairs, the change is rapid.
This Dornyuan noble family came to the old town and came to the feather pen wine bottle, seeming to be leaving the continent and taking a boat to the other side of the narrow sea.
Princess Dorn Arianne Martel regained the city of Sun Halberd and asked the Dorn nobles to surrender again and grant them the previous privileges and territories. This will inevitably be met by the civilians who have already received the distribution of benefits and the local governors loyal to the new regime. Our resistance is inevitable.
The four of Will looked at each other, and Arya moved over and said, “Hello, sir.”
The man hurriedly got up, bowed his head and said, “Madame, hello!”
“The adults and their family are from the desert of Dorne?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“My name is Arya Stark, and the one over there is Lord Will, Prime Minister of the Seven Nations. Lord Will asks you to come over and talk. I don’t know if you can move?”
The man was surprised, and said quickly: “Yes, yes yes, ma’am.”
His wife, child, and servant were all shocked and afraid to speak.
The man walked to Will tremblingly, not daring to take a seat, standing respectfully, his face frightened.
“My lord is leaving Dorne? To the other side of the narrow sea?” Will said.
“…Yes, the Prime Minister…”
“Why? My lord didn’t take my family away when I led the army in Dorne, indicating that I accepted the new government order.”
“Prime Minister, Donne will start a civil war. This time it will be more tragic when the Dorne people fight the Dorne people. We are really unable to protect ourselves. I am weak and incompetent. I have to take my family and leave, hoping to find a way to survive.”
“Dorn is troubled, and Arianne Martell is no more than a few thousand pirates. Pirates are only used to plundering at sea, but land warfare is not good at them. As long as the people of Dorn rise up against Arianne, her thousands of pirates are in Dorn. The territory is vulnerable. If the pirates dare to go deep into the desert, it will be their end.”
“Prime Minister, Princess Arianne is my old master. I am not willing to summon me to join her legion. The people of the desert have indeed risen against Arianne, but I am not willing to join the Desert Corps. This has encountered the desert. The hatred of the Corps, our family was not pleased. After thinking about it, I took my family and left Dorn. Please forgive me, Prime Minister.”
“Why don’t you want to join the Desert Corps and fight Arianne?”
“Princess Arianne has been kind to me and is my old master.”
This is a nobleman in the desert. Will decided not to ask his name. If he asks his last name, it might make him more uneasy. A family surname will not only have such a few people. In the Dorn Desert, there must be his family members and his family roots.
This man has a sincere character and has no lies.
Although he was a former aristocrat, many aristocrats have excellent character.
“Well, do you have enough coins for your family? Which free trade city-state are you going to?”
“My Excellency Prime Minister, we are going to the eastern city, Quells or further afield.”
“Oh, that was a really hard voyage. Arya, how much money do you have with you?”
“A small bag of golden dragons, my lord.”
“Leave the money for meals and give them the rest.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The man couldn’t believe it. He watched Arya take out a bag of golden dragons, untied the bag, took out two golden dragons from inside, then fastened the bag again, and put the money bag in the man’s hand: “Bless your family and you will have a good journey. To develop well in the eastern city, many people who went out in Westeros settled in distant places, and eventually became very famous people there.
“Thank you, madam.” The man was so touched, he did not refuse, took the money bag, knelt on one knee, and respectfully kowtow to Will and Arya. His wife, children, and servants knelt on one knee together, bowed their heads, and humbled.
*
When Will and his party left the feather pen bottle, the sky was slightly bright. Quill wine bottles do not rush guests. Many people who are familiar with the old town, in order to save travel expenses, come to have a meal in the wine bottles and rest in the next room at a suitable time to leave. If it is night, this can save a fortune. Accommodation fees.
The four returned to the school city and came to the clerical desk. This time, many bachelors, assistant bachelors, and apprentices at the clerical desk already knew Will’s true identity: the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the guardian of the whole territory, and the Duke of Longshidao.
“We want to see Dr. Vograve.” Rosso said, blocking several bachelors who had come up to serve. “Who can take us to see Dr. Vograve?”
*
This is a stone fort house next to many bachelor towers.
Accommodation in Xuecheng is basically built on the connecting bridge corridors of various towers. Any bachelor tower is connected to the adjacent tower with several bridge corridors in different directions.
Dr. Vograve had inconvenient legs and feet. He had a stone fort-like house on the ground, with high doors, thick walls, gray streaks, a quiet little garden, and surrounding flowers and plants.
“Doctor, Prime Minister Will, please see me.” Apprentice Pate whispered in Dr. Wograve’s ear.
The doctor fell asleep on the recliner, drooling from the corner of his mouth.
“Doctor?” Apprentice Pater cautiously.
Will and Arya walked in, and Will said, “Apprentice Pat, you go out and I will come.”
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
As soon as Pat went out, Rosso and Podrick pushed him back and forth.
“Pate, please cooperate.” Rosso’s knife pressed against Pat’s lower abdomen.
“What do you want to do?” Pete asked.
Podrick strangled Pat’s neck from behind, and put a rag into Pat’s mouth with his other hand: “Don’t resist, we don’t want to hurt you, Rosh.”
The two worked together to restrain Pete, and Rosso smiled and said, “Roshi, let’s restore her original appearance.”
“You broke the rules.” Pat said with a look in his eyes.
“No, it’s whoever gets the candle first. There is no duel. It’s just a little unpleasant.” Rosso said, “You restore Roxi’s true color, and we will send you back to the feather pen bottle.”
“What if I don’t?”
“If you don’t, we will send you to the office of Xuecheng City Manager and let you be judged by Xuecheng.”
“Despicable!” Pat’s eyes were full of hatred.
The Faceless Man was caught and judged, and this face could no longer be used. The failure of Roxi’s mission was a very serious mistake.
Faceless people do things and cannot be known as faceless people. Their mystery is their principle and a tradition that scares the enemy.
If Roxi can’t be judged in the face of Pater, but is forced to be tried in the face of Roxi, then Roxi will be sentenced to death.
The two sides reached an agreement, Poderek took out the rag that was plugging Roxi’s mouth, and Rosso put away the knife against Roxi’s abdomen.
Roxi shook her head, wiped her face down, raised her head, and restored Roxi’s face.
Her clothes did not change, but Poderek was prepared to bring her ladies’ clothes and shoes.
Roxi changed her clothes and shoes, lowered her head slightly, and left. Podric and Rosso watched her leave until they were completely out of sight.
Inside the house, Will and Dr. Vograve have reached an agreement. Will donated one hundred thousand golden dragons to the school city, and received three unburned dragon crystal candles and one burned dragon crystal candle. At the same time, within half a year, Will must provide another four obsidian candles to the school city.
“Bachelor Wargrave, what does the Dragon Crystal candle… do?” Will asked.
“Who told you to come, Lord Will.”
“my child.”
“Then you go back and ask him,” Vograve said.
“Yes, Doctor!” Wilbi respected.
“If it is possible, please come back to Xuecheng quietly for the Bachelor of Science. Dr. Galvin needs to have a chat with him.”
“Okay, Doctor.”
Asking Coben to come back to School City, Will raised his hand.
“Doctor, there is someone underground in your stone fort, a good person, do we need to let him out?”
“Master Will, you should take the Dragon Crystal candle first. The matter about the Faceless has nothing to do with you. They are here to invade Xuecheng. This matter is handled by Xuecheng, okay? “
“…Yes, Doctor. But Master Maine is a friend of mine and a member of the World Roundtable. When possible, I hope he can come out safely after he gets the punishment he deserves.”
“Hmm! Is the Prime Minister ordering Xuecheng?”
“No, it’s just a suggestion. ——Doctor, I sincerely invite Xuecheng to send representatives to participate in our world round table.”
“What is the World Roundtable?” Vograve looked at Will with bright eyes.
“A parliament that determines world events.”
