Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 146: Cut the knot with a sharp knife, and the running wolf finally dies
If you want a person to betray, sometimes it is really simple. Just give him enough golden dragons and tell him that these golden dragons can allow him to exchange for things that he can never exchange for in his original place. This is enough.
Clay directly ignored Eli's explanation of why he became an eye. Everyone has their own reasons. From their own perspective, they can say a sincere and last resort, but this cannot be forgiven. reason.
After Eli was corrupted in the south, he started working on this job when he returned to the north. According to his account, he at least figured out the daily whereabouts of the important figures in the Poseidon Tower, the rotation of the guards, and some information on the combat readiness of the family army. .
And he handed all this information to the blond bachelor who was always unpopular in the family, and Clay felt a chill in his back.
As a demon hunter who is extremely vigilant and has an extremely long hearing range, Clay is not afraid of anyone coming to assassinate him. Even in his sleep, the danger is not great, but this does not mean that other members of the family Can.
Don't think that the war is just over with a winner on the battlefield. The bloody dagger hidden deep in the dark castle sometimes plays a more critical role.
If Clay, as the eldest young master of White Harbor, had not been implanted into the deep-rooted system of the nobility from the beginning, he might have become a demon hunter in this era, even more outstanding than the Faceless Man of the House of Black and White. assassin.
Therefore, the leakage of the family's internal information made Clay more angry than the exposure of the family's military station, and also prompted him to murder the guy who was already under house arrest.
In Clay's original plan, if such a peripheral spy did not cause much harm, considering that he had completely lost his ability to move, it didn't matter whether Clay killed him or not.
But now, Clay has changed his mind. He no longer intends to keep such a person who has posed a huge threat to his family members. He has done what he has done, and he must pay the price.
But Clay doesn't intend to take matters into his own hands. Every wrongdoer has his own fault. This matter started with Juventus and will end with him.
After waiting until the wedding was over, Clay ordered to go down. Juventus was forced to let go of his newly married wife and quickly came to Clay.
In fact, he had been feeling anxious in his heart. Faced with the unsuspecting Mana, he could only force a smile and suppress the anxiety in his heart.
"Sir, Eli..."
The panting Juventus looked at Clay uneasily, who had no expression on his face and just looked at him. After a long time, Clay said:
"You know, Juventus, what your brother did has done much more harm to the family than the family's weapons you found in the box, the port's cargo throughput, etc."
Juventus's face suddenly turned pale. He had once served as Count Wyman's bodyguard. He knew the weight behind Clay's words, but he still didn't believe it. His lips wriggled and his voice was weak:
"No...Eri just looks more fierce. I know him, he is very timid."
It was his brother after all. At this time, he instinctively wanted to excuse his brother. It seemed that he was not the one who reported this matter to Clay at all.
"Your good brother, with the help of the key copied from your waist, sneaked into the Poseidon Tower many times. Through your mouth, he knew the time when the guards changed shifts. Oh, he has already figured out the importance of our Mandalay family. The position of the member, what does he want to do?”
"Accept the reality, Juventus. Just because of this, your brother Eli will not be able to come out of White Harbor alive. I, Clay Manderly, cannot tolerate this kind of thing."
"You have to deal with your own brother. After that, you have two choices. First, leave White Harbor and go to the north. Lord Eddard Stark's Winterfell should welcome you and your family. Second, stay in White Harbor, the door of the family will always be closed for you, forget everything about you in Poseidon Tower, and do other things, it will be good for everyone."
…
Clay doesn't care how Juventus chooses. This kind of script where the younger brother cheats the older brother will happen once in a while on this continent. It's not that unusual.
But no matter what, the Mandalay family will not allow Juventus to serve as the family's bodyguard anymore. Clay will later give Sir Malone an order. If Juventus chooses to stay in White Harbor, then inform all the guards and never allow him to enter. Newcastle.
This is responsible for the safety of family members. Regardless of whether Juventus is resentful towards Clay or not, Clay must nip it in the bud. Although, according to Clay's temper, it would be safest to kill Juventus directly as well.
But no matter what, he can't do this kind of thing, because this is a disguised form of preventing people at the bottom from reporting the situation to him. The harm behind this is visible to the naked eye.
After handling the matter with Juventus, Crelay returned to the Poseidon Tower without stopping. Now, it was time to deal with another more troublesome guy.
Theomer Lannister sat quietly in the chair, playing with the chains of different materials around his neck, which represented the honors he had received in the city.
When he was forced into the door by a group of thick and powerful guards and grabbed him directly, he had no resistance because the guards with sharp eyes and quick hands had already pinched his hands. He even tried to take out the poison on the bedside. Neither can be done.
He already understood that his behavior must have been exposed. To be honest, he had expected that such a day would come, but he did not expect that it would come so quickly.
As a bachelor, he didn't think about what to do to the Mandalay family at first. With a lot of enthusiasm, he came to the largest port in the north, ready to fulfill his duties as a bachelor.
However, when the lord here, the annoying Earl Weiman, saw his appearance, his face became unhappy. After asking for his last name, he overturned the table of the welcome banquet.
Theodore Lannister can still remember Lord Wyman's words at that time:
"I will not allow this good place in White Harbor to be contaminated by the stench of lions. So, Lannister, you'd better get out. You are not welcome in the North."
But at that time, I just straight up said that the bachelors from the city were only loyal to the lord. This sir obviously misunderstood me.
Earl Weiman was also helpless. Killing him directly was too drastic, and it was not that bad. He couldn't return it. The golden lion didn't want to leave, so there was nothing he could do.
Later, Theomer Lannister stayed in White Harbor. However, although he had his own raven cage and was able to manage some of White Harbor's official correspondence to the outside world, the medical responsibilities of the bachelor were completely ignored by him. deprived.
To exaggerate, even if Miss Vera's favorite dog was sick, Siomer Lannister said that he could save it, Lord Wyman would rather watch the dog die of illness, and Miss Vera cried into tears, Don’t allow yourself to help.
He was never allowed to participate in anything involving the Mandalay family. When he first arrived in White Harbor, there were always guards with stern eyebrows staring at him. They followed him every step of the way except when he went to the toilet.
No way, this cannot be returned. Siomer Lannister himself also thought about leaving, but later, he found that he could no longer leave because he had been in White Harbor for some time and Earl Wyman would not let him go. he's gone.
As a result, this awkward and frustrating life went on like this day by day. Earl Wyman never trusted him, and he never asked Earl Wyman to bring trouble to him.
But the seeds of hatred were sown. After so many years, Earl Wyman's vigilance towards him slowly disappeared or slackened with the passage of time.
Until a year ago, he got an opportunity by chance, contacted a big shot in King's Landing, and became the other's little bird in the north.
He did not contact his family, the Lannister family, because he also hated the Lannister family. If it hadn't been for this damn surname and what the owner of this surname had done in the south, how could he have ended up like this in White Harbor? situation.
Without unreasonable hatred, nothing can be solely the responsibility of one party.
But he has never had the experience of being a spy. How could a bachelor who is full of knowledge know these things? He does not know the specific identity of this adult, but as long as he can take revenge on the Mandalay family, he is willing to do anything.
However, the method was too naive, and the concealment of the offline was simply amateurish. In just one year, this young master Clay Manderly was able to dig him out.
Seeing Clay coming in, Siomer Lannister's already dull golden hair swayed slightly with the owner, and he said extremely calmly:
"Master Clay, you are welcome to visit. Unfortunately, as a bachelor, I can't help you. I'm sorry."
"There is no need to apologize, Maester Siomer. My time is precious and I don't want to hear your story. Everyone has their own reasons, but I only look at the results. I think when you make this decision, just You’ve already expected this day.”
Siomer Lannister had nothing to refute to Clay's words. Speaking of which, Clay gave him a pretty good impression. If his surname was not Manderly, the result might not be like this.
"Yes, Master Clay, you are right, it is indeed the case, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands. To be honest, I was awakened by nightmares countless times. They all died by your grandfather’s sword, not yours.”
"There is no difference. My grandfather and I both have the same surname, which represents a common will. It doesn't matter whose sword we die by, Bachelor Xiomer."
Theomer Lannister was silent. He didn't know what to say to Clay. He didn't beg for mercy. Lannister's pride did not allow him to surrender to the object of his hatred and beg for mercy.
Clay didn't talk nonsense to him anymore. The green color of Axi's sigil flashed away, and Theomer Lannister's consciousness left in this world was frozen.
…
After wiping the blood on his sword, Clay walked out of Siomer Lannister's room with a sullen face. Obviously, he did not get satisfactory information from this family's maester.
He didn't think that this was because the Yaksi Seal had failed. A bachelor with a weak physique could not withstand the Yakxi Seal. And he did not ask the scholar Xiomer who his superior was. He just knew contact information.
To put it simply, Xiomer and the mysterious figure in King's Landing created something similar to a codebook in this world. The two parties hid the real information in it through seemingly normal correspondence.
This couldn't have been done by a temporary organizer. Clay's suspects were suddenly reduced a lot. Although King's Landing is big, there are only two people who are really capable of doing this.
Clay's "old friend" Earl Petyr, Mr. Littlefinger, and the current head of intelligence in the kingdom, Lord Varys the Eight-clawed Spider, a powerful eunuch despite missing something from his crotch.
As for Siomer himself, Clay gave him a good time, what's the point of torturing him when he wakes up? He's not some perverted sadist.
White Harbor, under Clay's instruction, did not inform the Citadel of the news of his own death, because first, at this juncture, no one sent could gain the trust of the Mandalay family. Second, the family has long adapted to the situation of shouldering this responsibility. Whether or not they have a bachelor is no longer that important.
However, this incident exposed a problem. White Harbor may have been under the surveillance of some behind-the-scenes figures for a long time, which made Clay feel very bad.
There is a saying that goes well, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being missed. People want to know about you all the time. It is strange that you can feel safe.
Littlefinger had already done something to him once in Winterfell, but Clay later reviewed it and tended to think that it was a provocation against Stark and Lannister, and he was just used as a pawn.
But this time, the target is pointed at White Harbor where he is, which is completely different from before.
For this, Clay has no good solution for the time being. If it is a quick war and a decisive battle, such as the two wars he fought south, then the role of intelligence will be relatively weakened.
But if it is a long-term war, then the advantage of intelligence will definitely come out. Moreover, if Clay wants to build a large navy and control the sea, it is also very important to know which part of the local territory is empty.
…
Before leaving, Clay returned to the Wolf's Lair and specifically explained the internal spy defense. In the past, most of the White Sea Guard's energy was focused on external affairs. Now, Clay ordered them to stabilize their internal affairs first.
The army, the demon hunters, the White Sea Guards, Clay had arranged everything he could, and the rest could only be dealt with when he returned.
After thoroughly explaining everything, Clay got on the boat to Changjie Island one evening, where his dragon was waiting for him.
What he didn't know was that just as he was leaving White Harbor, all the Stark family members in the main castle of Winterfell had never thought that Eddard Stark, who had been recovering well, would become a hero in just two years. Tian Nei weakened rapidly, and after struggling hard, the life force completely left his body.
Countless ravens were released from Winterfell, and their target was the home castle of all vassals!
